Chapter 42 A repressed, sensual old man!
"fine."
Compared to Jiang Ning's embarrassment, Shen Jingnian seemed completely unaffected, picking up a piece of mung bean cake and tasting it with a nonchalant expression.
He was really calm.
He remained so calm, as if he wasn't the one whose hand had just been touched.
Jiang Ning gave him a thumbs up in her heart!
It seems she's still inexperienced. It's just holding hands, what's there to be embarrassed about?
She needs to learn from Shen Jingnian.
Jiang Ning took a deep breath and pretended nothing had happened, continuing to chat with Shen Jingshu and Yue Qianlan. Fortunately, Shen Jingshu and Yue Qianlan had been having a very pleasant conversation and hadn't been discovered by the two of them.
Shen Jingnian glanced at his phone. "Sis, Haotian is here. I'll go outside to greet him."
"Go ahead." Shen Jingshu said without even looking up.
If Shen Jingshu listened carefully, she would have noticed that Shen Jingnian's voice had a hoarseness that he didn't usually have.
Shen Jingnian got up and walked towards the door.
The sky in early October.
The air was already slightly cool, but Shen Jingnian felt unbearably hot and began to unbutton the first button on his shirt.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Yun Hao finally arrived.
Seeing Shen Jingnian standing at the restaurant entrance, Yun Haotian was somewhat surprised. "Uncle? What are you doing?"
"Waiting for you." Shen Jingnian said calmly.
"Wait for me?" Yun Haotian felt flattered.
His uncle was actually waiting for him!
After saying that, Yun Haotian noticed that Shen Jingnian was acting differently than usual and asked in confusion, "Uncle, have you been drinking?"
"What do you mean?" Shen Jingnian asked.
Yun Haotian continued, "Why is your face so red?"
Very popular.
It was almost red down to the back of her neck.
“It’s too stuffy inside,” Shen Jingnian explained.
Is it too stuffy inside?
Yun Haotian scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. "But it's not that hot today, is it?"
“I have a short temper,” Shen Jingnian said in a low voice.
Very angry?
Yun Haotian immediately followed Shen Jingnian's footsteps, and said in a cheeky tone, "Hey, Uncle, you need a girlfriend, huh?"
What was originally just a joke made Shen Jingnian's face turn even redder, as if it were on fire.
For some reason, he lowered his voice and said, "Your mother and the others are inside. I'm going to the restroom."
He needs to wash his face with cold water to calm down.
Yun Haotian looked at Shen Jingnian's hurried back, his eyes filled with surprise.
He was just saying it casually; I never expected his uncle to be so innocent!
Hahahahahaha!
He's such a pure-hearted old man!
When Yun Haotian arrived at the restaurant, he saw Shen Jingshu and Jiang Ning chatting from afar, with a cute little sister sitting next to Jiang Ning.
"Mom," Yun Haotian walked over, "Father Jiang!"
Jiang Ning greeted him with a smile, "This is my friend Yue Qianlan."
"Hello, Sister Yue, this is Ms. Shen's son, Yun Haotian!" Unlike Shen Jingnian, Yun Haotian is a very outgoing and sociable person.
Shen Jingshu asked curiously, "Where is your uncle?"
"I went to the restroom," Yun Haotian replied.
"Oh." Shen Jingshu didn't ask any further questions.
After dinner.
Shen Jingshu smiled and said, "Jingnian, Haotian can take me back. You can take Ningning and Sanyue back."
"Okay." Shen Jingnian nodded slightly.
We arrived at the restaurant's underground parking garage.
Shen Jingnian's car is as high-profile as his car.
Rolls-Royce Phantom Limited Edition.
Yue Qianlan and Jiang Ning sat in the back row.
Yue Qianlan gave her home address, "My home is closer, so please take me home first, Mr. Shen."
"Okay." Shen Jingnian nodded slightly.
Yue Qianlan was quick to react; she could tell that Shen Jingshu liked Jiang Ning very much and had been secretly trying to matchmake Jiang Ning and Shen Jingnian.
Most importantly, Yue Qianlan felt that a girl as wonderful and capable as Jiang Ning deserved to be paired with an outstanding person like Shen Jingnian.
Ordinary people are not good enough for her!
Moreover, the two of them look absolutely perfect together, very pleasing to the eye, much more entertaining than any dating reality show.
She'll be shipping this couple first!
So she wants to be a love security guard!
To protect and support Jiang Ning and Shen Jingnian.
After dropping Yue Qianlan off, Shen Jingnian continued driving Jiang Ning back home.
"Would you like to listen to some music?" A deep, magnetic male voice suddenly broke the silence of the carriage.
Good to hear.
Realizing that Shen Jingnian was asking her, Jiang Ning nodded, "Okay."
Shen Jingnian continued, "You can connect to the car's Bluetooth."
He didn't know Jiang Ning's preferences.
Jiang Ning took out her phone and started connecting via Bluetooth.
After connecting via Bluetooth, Jiang Ning leaned back in her seat and glanced at the driver's seat. From her angle, she could only see Shen Jingnian's profile. His nose was high, and his well-defined features were hidden under the flickering streetlights, exuding a restrained yet noble air. "Mr. Shen, do you mind if I listen to the opera?"
She asked.
After all, many young people nowadays don't really like traditional opera.
She was afraid that Shen Jingnian wouldn't like it either.
“I also really like traditional opera.” Shen Jingnian said softly.
"Really?" Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised.
"Hmm." Shen Jingnian nodded slightly.
"Do you like 'The Story of the Jade Bracelet'?" Jiang Ning asked.
"Quite like."
"Then I'll put this one."
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage was filled with the melodious sounds of traditional opera.
Jiang Ning leaned back lazily in her chair, her hands resting naturally on her lap, her fingers tapping rhythmically on her legs to the music.
Some people may find the slow, monotonous rhythm of opera uninteresting, but Jiang Ning enjoys listening to it and savors the passage of time. When she hears a part she particularly likes, she will hum along.
You can see the girl's face in the rearview mirror.
She was completely immersed in the opera.
She didn't notice a pair of deep eyes scrutinizing her in the rearview mirror.
They didn't even notice that the car was slowing down.
About twenty minutes.
The car was parked at the entrance of the apartment building.
Jiang Ning got out of the car and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for bringing me back."
"You're welcome," Shen Jingnian said, his gaze falling on the rearview mirror. "Miss Jiang, you forgot to bring your boyfriend's clothes."
The color of the clothes can be seen through the bag opening.
A gray polo shirt.
So ugly!
Ugh, what an ugly outfit!
"What boyfriend?" Jiang Ning asked, her face full of confusion.
Shen Jingnian is tall and has long arms. He turned slightly and easily picked up the bag of clothes on the back seat, handing it to her. "This."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Oh, this is for my grandfather."
grandfather?
Shen Jingnian smiled and said, "The color of the clothes is nice, very beautiful, and very suitable for the elderly."
"Thank you," Jiang Ning continued, "Mr. Shen, please drive carefully."

the other side.
Cheng family.
In the study, Wang Yuan recounted everything that happened at the mall that day to Cheng Zijun.
"Mom, are you sure you haven't mistaken her for someone else?" Cheng Zijun's eyes were full of disbelief. "Someone as distinguished as Mrs. Yun would recognize Jiang Ning as her sister?"
Even a fool would know that this is impossible.
Moreover, before registering his marriage with Jiang Ning, Cheng Zijun conducted a background check on Jiang Ning, who turned out to be just an ordinary village girl with no hidden identity whatsoever.
After marrying into the Cheng family, Jiang Ning was even more open with me. If she really knew Shen Jingshu and had a close relationship with her, she would definitely tell me immediately.
They've only been divorced for a few days!
Jiang Ning's attempt to climb up to Shen Jingshu after her divorce is as difficult as a collision between Mars and Earth.
Don't mention Jiang Ning!
Even Zhang Shuyi, the most talented woman in China, might not have such ability!
It's even less likely that Jiang Ning, that little village girl, will have one.
and so.
The mother must have mistaken the person for someone else.
“I swear I didn’t see wrong! I even greeted Mrs. Yun, but she looked down on a small family like ours!” Wang Yuan frowned as she said this, “I don’t know what kind of spell Jiang Ning cast on Mrs. Yun, but she seemed to really like her.”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zijun narrowed his eyes. "Mom, have you met Mrs. Yun?"
Wang Yuan immediately took out her phone. "I even took a picture from a distance. Look, isn't this Mrs. Yun?"
Upon seeing the photos on his phone, Cheng Zijun's heart sank, and his face turned very pale.
Because the person in the photo is indeed Shen Jingshu.
And the person next to Mrs. Yun is Jiang Ning!
Why?
What exactly makes Jiang Ning so special?
Wang Yuan sighed and then said, "I now suspect that what the fortune teller said was true. Maybe that little village girl really is a lucky charm for her husband. Originally, our Cheng family could have cooperated with the Shen family, but since you divorced that little village girl, we have even lost the cooperation. And she actually managed to marry Mrs. Yun."
At this point, Wang Yuan looked at Cheng Zijun, "Son, why don't you call that village girl back? She loves you to death. If you just say a few words to her, she'll definitely come running to you, utterly grateful!"
