The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind - Chapter 418 - 417

Chapter 418: Chapter 417

Lu Qingyan lowered his eyes and looked into Jiang Nanshu’s sincere ones.

After a long while, he let out a sigh, raised his hand to rub Jiang Nanshu’s head, and smiled brightly, “Don’t be nervous, I’ll listen to you.”

Having said that, he tossed a set of keys by Tao Tao’s feet, “You can get lost now.”

Tao Tao hadn’t expected that Lu Qingyan would actually set her free, she quickly grabbed the keys, afraid that Lu Qingyan would change his mind the next second, and unlocked her chains.

The opened chains crashed onto the floor, and Tao Tao was so moved that she was on the verge of tears.

She ran outside without looking back.

Lu Qingyan chuckled lightly, “Do you know what to say after you get out?”

Tao Tao paused mid-run, her voice stiff, “I know… I definitely won’t expose you.”

She didn’t dare stop her feet and ran outside, as if a demon was chasing her.

It was only when the surroundings fell silent that Lu Qingyan helplessly bent down and lightly kissed Jiang Nanshu’s lips, “Are you satisfied now?”

Jiang Nanshu looked at him somewhat awkwardly.

It seemed that the topic that used to anger her, now calmly asked by her, made her lightly cough, “I just don’t want you to commit a crime.”

“I know,” Lu Qingyan took Jiang Nanshu’s hand, placed his face against it, and gently rubbed, “I’ll listen to whatever you say.”

“And her…”

“Don’t worry, she wouldn’t dare to say anything. I’ve let her go, she should be happy.”

Jiang Nanshu swallowed back what she wanted to say.

“Alright, I found a neighborhood for my parents, and I also bought an apartment there, can we move in? I don’t really want to live in Half Mountain Villa, it’s too far and there’s hardly any human presence.”

“Sure,” Lu Qingyan nodded, “Wherever you go, I’ll go.”

A great weight lifted from Jiang Nanshu’s heart.

She wanted to be closer to Father Ji and Mother Ji, to take care of them.

She wanted to spend more time with them too.

With Lu Qingyan agreeing to the move, Jiang Nanshu set about preparing to decorate the new apartment.

“Do you want to check out the decoration? Or should we just go with what I prefer?”

“Decorate it however you like, that will be our marital home in the future.”

Lu Qingyan walked Jiang Nanshu out, closing the basement door.

Then they went upstairs.

The beautiful Snow Rose in the house shone as if it were glowing.

He had used a transparent freezer to freeze the roses, so the Snow Roses would never melt, because it was the first gift that Jiang Nanshu had given him, and he had protected the roses well.

Lu Qingyan closed the door, and if nothing unexpected happened, they would never come back to this house again.

Having resolved a major concern, Jiang Nanshu made another trip to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Lu Qingyan returned to the company.

He ordered Ye Yuan expressionlessly, “Have someone keep an eye on Chu Muxi. If she dares to do anything unusual, let me know immediately.”

Ye Yuan’s heart chilled, “President Lu, you let her go?”

As someone close to Lu Qingyan, Ye Yuan was aware of the situation. Even transferring the person was helped by Ye Yuan because he was sufficiently loyal and would absolutely not betray Lu Qingyan.

He was worried that if the matter got out, it would cause trouble for Lu Qingyan.

But Lu Qingyan wasn’t so worried, he thought if she were smart, she would keep it under wraps and wouldn’t speak out about it.

“There’s no problem, she wouldn’t dare,” Lu Qingyan said as he walked toward the elevator. “If she makes a move, don’t let her off the hook next time.”

Ye Yuan nodded in understanding, “Got it, President Lu.”

…

After Jiang Nanshu settled things and headed to the hospital, she sent the address of the house she liked to Father Ji and Mrs. Ji and asked Ji Ze to take them to see it.

In the days that followed, Jiang Nanshu was quite relaxed, occasionally shopping with Xu Xi, then meeting up with Yan Yidan. Besides the annoyance of Jiang Yunchuan’s intermittent inquiries about Yan Yidan’s recent condition, everything else was pretty good.

The time swiftly reached May, the house renovations were completed, and her wedding date with Lu Qingyan was set for August, but she felt inexplicably irritable lately. Xu Xingwan’s matter had settled down since that day, Miss Zhao’s child was saved, but she divorced Bao Yan. Tao Tao, who left the villa, also made no further moves, and Lu Qingyan wasn’t affected either. She lied to the investigators, claiming she had returned from abroad and there was no disappearance or kidnapping involved.

The police had only received a report after all, their actions were not right, but as long as nobody was hurt, they wouldn’t probe further, and the matter was considered closed.

Yet, Jiang Nanshu felt anxious and couldn’t pinpoint the reason.

The Jiang family sought her out frequently, seemingly wanting to treat her well, but not knowing how, just continuously transferring money into her account, amassing a billion in just a month, all for her to spend at will.

Jiang Nanshu occasionally returned to the Jiang Family, and even if she wasn’t very familiar with this group of her true relatives, they genuinely cared for her.

For the sake of future pocket money, Jiang Nanshu also did some superficial pleasing.

Like when Mr. Jiang asked her where the wedding was to be held, Jiang Nanshu was so sleepy she began dozing off, indifferently replying, “Lu Qingyan will handle it.”

“What does the Lu family say? It’s just a few months away, and the wedding dress should also be scheduled soon.”

Jiang Nanshu replied, “Lu Qingyan will handle it.”

Mr. Jiang: “…”

Seeing that Jiang Nanshu really didn’t want to talk, he shook his hand and went out to walk the bird.

Jiang Nanshu promptly collapsed on the sofa to sleep.

Finally, it was quiet around her ears.

She didn’t know how much time had passed when a light mint scent reached her nose, someone was next to her, and with half-open eyes, she saw a tall figure pausing in front of her.

He held a light blanket in his hand, and seeing that Jiang Nanshu had noticed him, he still covered her with the blanket.

Jiang Nanshu instantly became alert, “Huaiyu? What are you doing here?”

Not seen for five years, Duan Huaiyu’s features had matured, the only thing constant was his neatly buzzed haircut, he had an indescribable rugged charm about him.

He was tall, and to Jiang Nanshu lying down, he seemed like a giant.

Duan Huaiyu took a step back, maintaining a distance from Jiang Nanshu, “Did I disturb your sleep? Miss.”

“You…”

“Nannan, you’re awake?” Jiang Zhouye’s voice came from the stairs.

Jiang Nanshu looked over.

Jiang Zhouye explained while walking, “I came home to pick up some stuff, Huaiyu came with me. I have a concert tonight, Huaiyu is my guest singer. Nannan, are you coming to listen?”

Jiang Nanshu realized, she looked at Duan Huaiyu, who had indeed changed a lot compared to when she first met him.

Duan Huaiyu was now a slightly famous singer, due to his straightforward personality and outstanding looks, he had gathered a bunch of female fans. Being single made his female fan base even stronger.

He was now a gleaming big star, no longer the past part-time bar model, or the guy who worked at the swimming pool, nor the one who played guitar in bars.

Jiang Nanshu’s gaze flickered across him, she smiled and raised her eyebrows at him, “Huaiyu, you’ve changed a lot, I almost didn’t recognize you.”
