The stars twinkled!
The Milky Way hung high!
The night breeze brought a hint of coolness.
On a winding path, Chen Nan and Jian Ning walked side by side.
Although the surroundings were quiet, the air was filled with a romantic aura.
"Are you just taking me for a stroll in the neighborhood like this?"
After a long silence, the girl broke the quiet, a hint of resentment in her eyes.
Chen Nan chuckled, "The time isn't right yet!"
???
Jian Ning was confused, "What do you mean?"
Chen Nan pouted, "The lights are still on at your place. It goes without saying that your dad is definitely still awake. If I took you back now, he'd surely kick me out."
"So, we have to wait a while."
"Until the lights in your house go out!"
"Then we can do things we like, right?" He gave her a knowing look.
"I won't do that kind of thing with you!" A blush quickly spread across Jian Ning's face, looking exceptionally charming under the streetlights.
It was as if even the night was tinged with color.
Chen Nan pulled her into his arms and poured out his passion, only letting go when she was gasping for breath.
Her face red, the woman averted her gaze, "Not here..."
"I understand!"
Chen Nan smiled knowingly.
Just then.
The lights in the distant villa extinguished.
Chen Nan's eyes lit up. Grabbing the girl's hand, he said, "Let's go to your place!"
The two of them walked silently towards the distant villa under the starry sky.
Although the girl had said not to, she was cautious, afraid of attracting her parents' attention.
But as she tiptoed into the entrance and turned on the light, she let out a startled scream, "Dad, what are you doing sitting here so late at night? Don't you know that scaring people to death is no joke?"
Jian Jianhua sat on the sofa, a knowing smile on his face, "This is your own home, why are you sneaking around like a thief?"
He then fixed his gaze on Chen Nan, his inner smugness unconcealed.
A wry smile touched Chen Nan's lips.
They say the older the ginger, the spicier it is!
It was indeed true!
Jian Jianhua had surely guessed his intentions, which was why he had turned off the villa lights!
The aim was to lure him in, thus ruining his plans!
This battle!
He had lost to Jian Jianhua!
Jian Jianhua slowly stood up and said, "Chen Nan, thank you for bringing Ning'er back so late. It's getting late, you should head back and get some rest!"
"Alright!"
Chen Nan, seething with frustration, turned and left.
He had intended to make a move on Jian Ning today, but he hadn't expected this old fox, Jian Jianhua, to ruin his plans.
He felt a pang of disappointment!
After all, all his fantasies had turned into bubbles.
As he retraced his steps.
He noticed that Villa 88 was also completely dark.
They say one shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket.
Since he couldn't win over Jian Ning, he could always go to Xie Churan!
As expected, she should welcome him, right?
Without further thought, he went directly to Xie Churan's villa.
His invisible spiritual power spread out, forming a 3D map in his mind, the situation inside the villa all within his perception.
Xie Ling'er had already fallen asleep.
Xie Churan, wearing a black lace nightgown, was looking at her phone, practicing her craft.
"Holy crap! Isn't that the scene when I entered Xie Ling'er's dream?"
Chen Nan felt a chill down his spine. He never expected Xie Churan to have recorded a video while he was unconscious.
And it was when he was in his dream, being pursued by Xie Ling'er, and reacting!
It was one thing to be secretly recorded by Xie Churan.
The problem was, she was using it as material...
This was too much. Did she have his consent?
It was so embarrassing!
Thinking this, he took out his phone and sent Xie Churan a text message: "I'm sneezing uncontrollably right now. Are you thinking of me?"
Xie Churan was startled, even dropping her phone on herself. She hadn't expected Chen Nan to text her at this time.
Although she missed Chen Nan, she didn't want him to think she was a person with strong desires.
After all.
They had already had a heated encounter in the office during the day!
With this in mind, she typed a reply: "I've been thinking of you, but besides me, shouldn't there be others thinking of you too?"
Although the message was sent.
She didn't receive a reply from Chen Nan! A sense of loss suddenly arose in her heart, wondering what Chen Nan was busy with, and why he wasn't replying to her message!
"Knock, knock, knock!"
A slight noise came from the balcony door.
Xie Churan shivered. She lived on the second floor, several meters high, and it was impossible for ordinary people to reach here.
Even if it were a thief...
He wouldn't be this polite, would he?
With this thought, a fiery gleam appeared in her eyes, and she quickly opened the door.
As expected.
It was the person she had been longing for!
"How did you get here?" Xie Churan was as happy as a little girl.
Chen Nan: "What, you're not welcoming me?"
"Welcome, of course! I wish you would come here every day!" Xie Churan blushed crimson and immediately offered her sincerity.
They say women in their thirties are like wolves, and in their forties, like tigers.
Xie Churan embodied this saying to the fullest.
Her previous two displays had been rather reserved, mostly out of consideration for Chen Nan's feelings.
But this time was different!
She unleashed the fierce tiger that had been caged within her heart!
An ordinary person might be afraid!
But Chen Nan, as a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, how could he be afraid of her?
After a long while.
The room returned to peace.
*Snap!*
Xie Churan lit a cigarette for ladies and brought it to Chen Nan's lips, "I only have this kind of cigarette, I don't know if you'll be used to it!"
Chen Nan raised an eyebrow, "As long as you're used to it!"
Xie Churan gave him a resentful look, "My jaw almost dislocated!"
Chen Nan shrugged.
It's not my fault!
Who told my second brother to be so capable?
"You were supposed to go to the Jian family today, why are you here?" Xie Churan changed the subject. She wasn't stupid; she had seen Jian Ning's relationship with their family at the Chen family.
That girl was definitely the future daughter-in-law of the Chen family.
Chen Nan said in surprise, "Aren't you jealous?"
"At my age, do I still have the right to be jealous? As long as you occasionally think of me and come here for a visit, I'll be content." Xie Churan was surprisingly open-minded and didn't show any displeasure.
Chen Nan sighed, and didn't hide anything, "I originally planned to go to the Jian family, but that old man is too cunning. He's been guarding against me, preventing me from making any substantial progress with Jian Ning!"
"I have a way," Xie Churan said with a smile. "If you want to win over Jian Ning, I can invite her to my place, and then things will naturally fall into place for you two."
Chen Nan repeatedly shook his head, "Forget it, it's not fair to you!"
A tear suddenly welled up in Xie Churan's eyes, "With your words, I can die without regret!"
Just as Chen Nan was about to speak, his phone lit up with an unknown number.
He frowned, then pressed the answer button. A timid voice came through, "Ancestor, it's Qingxin. I've made up my mind. Can you come to the Summer Resort?"
