C16 No Sleep Left
Nanny Lee's expression changed slightly. With a cold snort, she turned around and walked away. How dare he be so arrogant? Jiang Xinyue would get what she deserved sooner or later.
Jiang Yusheng was still awake. She was using her personal laptop to deal with official business in her bedroom. When Nanny Lee came in and saw how serious and hardworking she was, her heart ached.
"Miss, why are you still busy? It's time to rest!"
"So it's Nanny Lee …" Jiang Yusheng looked up from her computer screen. When she saw Nanny Lee, she couldn't help but smile, "There's one more thing I'll be busy with. Once I'm done, I'll sleep."
Nanny Lee passed the hot milk in her hand to Jiang Yusheng. "Wait till you finish your milk before you go to sleep."
"Look at you, busy with the company's matters all day. It's not that Nanny Lee is talking about you, but you look so thin!"
Hearing Nanny Lee's exaggerated words, Jiang Yusheng couldn't help but laugh. "Nanny Lee, how could it be as exaggerated as you say!?" I've really gained weight! "
Nanny Lee chatted with Jiang Yusheng for a while and mentioned that Jiang Xinyue had sneakily gone out of the room and back home in a sorry state.
"This woman really dares to think of anything!" After Jiang Yusheng understood what he meant, she couldn't help but chuckle. "But she has to be able to bear it!"
"Jiang Xinyue, she …" Nanny Lee was also a smart person, so when Jiang Yusheng said this, she also understood, "However, a woman like her, Mr. Lu definitely doesn't like her. Nanny Lee was also a smart person, so when Jiang Yusheng said that, she also understood," However, a woman like her, Mr. Lu definitely doesn't like Mr. Lu.
"Ahem, Nanny Lee. Actually, Lu Gechen and I are only friends now!" Jiang Yusheng felt a little embarrassed and her face was slightly hot.
"Nanny Lee saw that the two of you didn't seem like normal friends." Nanny Lee thought Jiang Yusheng was just shy and said mockingly.
Nanny Lee beamed as she nodded repeatedly, sighing in her heart. It was rare for her to see the young miss taking off the clothes of a strong lady and recovering the loveliness of her young daughter's family. She thought that Mr. Lu must be the one to blame for all this!
Jiang Yusheng went to take a bath, drank the milk Nanny Lee brought her, and then lay down on the bed ready to sleep.
But when she closed her eyes for more than ten minutes, she could not sleep, and the image of a man's face kept appearing in her mind.
Tonight, the two of them chatted in the garden for a long time. Jiang Yusheng felt that she was one step closer to the real Lu Gechen, and she became more and more excited.
However, she always felt that Lu Gechen was rather distant from her, but she didn't know why.
After a long moment of confusion, a text message notification rang on the phone Jiang Yusheng had placed on the bed.
Jiang Yusheng didn't pay much attention to it. After a while, she took the phone.
At first glance, he did not feel sleepy at all!
It was a text message from Lu Gechen.
— Sleeping?
Jiang Yusheng deleted, changed, and finally typed out the text message and sent it.
— Not yet, are you home?
Lu Gechen returned after a while. It had only been a few minutes, but Jiang Yusheng felt that it had been a very long time.
— Just arrived.
— I heard Nanny Lee say that when you left tonight, Jiang Xinyue went to see you off?
— Yes.
Lu Gechen's simple "yeah" made Jiang Yusheng even less able to sleep soundly.
She bit her lower lip. She wanted to ask, but she didn't know what to ask. What was his relationship with Jiang Xinyue? Asking Jiang Xinyue if she was interested in him?
What position was she going to take?
Jiang Yusheng was still conflicted when she heard another text message notification sound. She quickly opened it.
— What is it?
Jiang Yusheng twitched her mouth as her fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard of her phone.
— Nothing. Sleeping.
Jiang Yusheng took a deep breath, turned off the phone, put it back on the bedside table, and lay back on the bed.
But a rapid ringing of the telephone in the quiet night.
"Hello?" Jiang Yusheng tried to make her voice sound less pleased.
"It's me." Lu Gechen's voice came from the other end of the phone. It was low and hoarse. In the silence of the night, the two seemed to be able to hear each other's breathing.
"I know. "What's wrong?" Jiang Yusheng couldn't help but smile.
Lu Gechen was silent for a while, at one point, Jiang Yusheng thought that the other side had hung up. She looked at her phone and realized that she was still on the phone.
"Why aren't you talking when you called?"
Jiang Yusheng curled her lips. The joy in her heart was like a flame that had been extinguished. It instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke, and a faint sense of loss surged up within her heart.
"It's not a big deal." Lu Gechen's voice was soft and exceptionally sexy.
"Since it's nothing, then let's hang up!" Jiang Yusheng's words were just a bluff.
When Lu Gechen heard this, he chuckled and said slowly, "I saw a clown jumping at night and wanted to share it with you."
"Oh? Is that so? "Then do you think it's nice?" Jiang Yusheng couldn't hold back her laughter. The "clown" Lu Gechen was referring to must be Jiang Xinyue!
Lu Gechen pondered for a while and seemed to be troubled, unable to answer.
"He's just trying to attract attention. If you are talking about good-looking, I feel that there is someone who is much more good-looking than she is. "
"Hmph, who is it?" Lu Gechen's evaluation of Jiang Xinyue made Jiang Yusheng very satisfied, and the latter half of his words made her heart feel sweet all of a sudden, as if she fell into a pot of honey.
"That I do not know. I must ask if I am willing to become the better looking person."
Jiang Yusheng could not help but roll her eyes, "Then forget it. Compared to Jiang Xinyue, I feel that my standards have dropped."
Hearing Jiang Yusheng answer his question in such a silly manner, Lu Gechen felt that he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes at all and it showed on his face. If others were to see his current appearance, they would definitely cry out, "Damn it, this isn't the Mr. Lu that they are familiar with!"
They chatted briefly, then said good night to each other and hung up.
When Jiang Yusheng lay back down on the bed, she thought that she would not be able to sleep because of the phone call, but unexpectedly, the moment she touched the pillow, sleep came over her.
Perhaps it was because of Lu Gechen's last sentence: "Sleep early".
The next morning, when Jiang Yusheng saw Jiang Xinyue at the dinner table, she actually felt some schadenfreude. She could imagine Jiang Xinyue being badly injured by Lu Gechen's coldness when she went to pay her respects to Lu Gechen last night.
Jiang Xinyue, on the other hand, was quietly eating her breakfast with lowered brows and eyes. There was even a tinge of formality and constraint in her actions, as if she felt that she was incompatible with the atmosphere of this family.
Jiang Haohan sat at the head of the table and sighed when he saw Jiang Xinyue's restrained look, "Xin Yue, this is at home. You don't have to be afraid, just get along well with your family. In a few days, there will be an engagement banquet for you and Jing Ming. If you two marry each other, and live in Rao Family, and look the same as before, others will say that our daughters outside Jiang Family are ungenerous and cause others to laugh at you. "
