Chapter 969: Chapter 578: As Long as You Like It, the So-Called Wedding House (2)
More importantly, she recognized this brooch, "This... didnât Teacher Tang say it wasnât for sale?"
"Originally yes, but since our relationship is quite special, they made an exception for me."
"Itâs really great to be part of her family." Her tone was envious.
Jiang Chengsi carefully observed her expression. Although she hadnât said anything specific, it was clear she liked it.
"This must be expensive, right?"
"Not really..." Jiang Chengsi noticed the car in front was moving, immediately started the car, while she caressed the brooch, only to hear another sentence from beside her:
"As long as you like it."
It felt as though something lightly pricked her heart, and she suddenly found breathing a bit difficult. Her gaze lowered to the brooch, leaving her with indescribable feelings.
"How do we go ahead?" Jiang Chengsi raised his eyebrows, unfamiliar with East City.
"You can just let me off at the next intersection."
"The next intersection?" As they moved forward, the area suddenly became scarce of people.
Jiang Chengsi had been to this area before looking for a house. He knew there was a community ahead, along with a villa complex, and further east, there was another place...
"Yes, just let me off ahead."
Jiang Chengsi didnât insist on taking her to her doorstep. After all, they werenât that familiar. He estimated the young lady was still somewhat guarded towards him and didnât force the issue. He only requested she send a message once she reached home safely.
"Iâll accept the gift, I really like it." Saying this, she adjusted the clothes draped over her lap, placing them on the seat, getting ready to get off the car.
However, Jiang Chengsi felt the night was cold, so he put the clothes back on her.
During the daytime in Beijing, the temperature already reached up to 40 degrees, so naturally, it was very hot at night too. However, the air conditioning in the car was cooler, but outside, there was no need for a jacket.
Yet Jiang Chengsi thought she was cold and insistently pushed the clothes back to her, watching her disappear from his sight before driving back to Hexi.
About five or six minutes later, a car stopped in front of her. She opened the car door and got in. The driver just wanted to turn back and ask what took her so long outside but saw her staring blankly at a piece of clothing.
It was a jacket...
That wasnât the main point. The main point was... it was a manâs jacket!
The two people in the front seats exchanged glances, wondering if their young miss was in love, out on a date?
She folded the clothes and when she reached home, she didnât expect there were guests. She placed the things back in her room and went to the living room to chat with the guests, forgetting to send Jiang Chengsi the message.
...
Jiang Chengsi didnât head straight back to Hexi, but turned the car around first to check on his new house. Before handing him the keys, the owner cleaned the place again. It was neat and tidy, with the first floor being the living room and kitchen, connected to a backyard that led to the artificial lake within the community.
The second floor was made up of bedrooms, but one of them was locked. The owner said it was their personal bedroom, and the items couldnât be easily moved.
There were plenty of bedrooms. One room locked wouldnât make much of a difference. Most importantly, the garage was spacious enough.
After looking around, feeling very satisfied, he decided to move in the next day and then drove back to Hexi.
Until he finished showering and quickly tidying up his luggage, did he realize he hadnât received a "Miss Xiaoâs" safety message yet.
The time was approaching eleven oâclock, he hesitated but still sent her a text message.
[Did you get home safely?]
With the weather heating up, there seemed to be more lewd incidents. Recently, the news always reported about incidents involving groping on buses and subways where perverts would blame young ladies for wearing little clothing.
About five or six minutes later, he received a reply.
[Sorry, I got home a while ago. Something came up and I forgot to text you. Did you get home okay?]
[Yes, I did.]
[Thatâs good to hear, thank you for treating me today.]
[Iâm sorry for not having a restaurant planned beforehand, making you trail around with me to a few places. It was my oversight.]
...
The two of them chatted like this until after midnight when Jiang Chengsiâs group of friends texted him, asking if he wanted to go out. Only then did he realize how late it had gotten.
He hurriedly ended the conversation.
That night, Jiang Chengsi had the same dream again. He was trying to escape while being "pursued," and he ran into "Miss Xiaoâs" house. All the doors and windows were tightly shut, leaving no way out. Later, he found a door he wanted to use to escape...
A voice came from overhead:
"Once you enter our home, donât think about leaving."
He tried to run but was surrounded by a group of people who restrained him. He struggled hard, but since it was a dream, no matter how hard he tried, he couldnât escape. The next moment, this group was actually trying to undress him, startling him awake with a jolt, accompanied by the urgent sound of the alarm clock...
