Even if she wasn't with Jiang Jianhan, An Ning would never agree to be with him again. As far as she was concerned, the relationship between the two of them was just like family, and it was hard for An Ning to have any other feelings towards Xu Wang now.
”Alright, I understand.”
As he looked through the French window, she wondered if he should leave. Xu Wen had always been aware of her feelings for An Ning, but he was unable to respond to them. This was too unfair for Xu Wang. Perhaps it was because it would give him an opportunity to get to know someone better, and that way, she wouldn't be able to delay him.
Jiang Xianxin came to the Xu family to pick up An Ning. He personally drove her to a restaurant he had just discovered.
This shop was hidden in a very small alley, so small that even cars could not enter, and could only park at the mouth of the alley. Although it was hidden deep, there were still a lot of people who came to eat.
The houses here were very old, and there were good and bad street lamps. There were many places on the road that were dark, so it was hard to see where they were going.
Because she was worried that falling down would hurt her child, An Ning walked very slowly, afraid that she would step on something. However, even though An Ning was being very careful, her feet still slipped and she stepped on a piece of fruit that some unscrupulous person threw on the side of the road.
Ah!
An Ning cried out in alarm, her body tilting to the side as she fell to the ground. She tightly closed her eyes, her hands protecting her lower abdomen. She had already mentally prepared herself to fall to the ground.
However, the expected pain did not come. An Ning fell into a warm and powerful embrace. Jiang Li's cold voice rang out by her ear, stirring up a small stream of air as she threw herself into An Ning's ear.
”It's fine now. Open your eyes, don't be afraid!”
An Ning opened her eyes blankly. The moon in the sky was very round, and bright stars dotted the edges. But even brighter than those were the cold eyes of Jiang Jia. They were like a black whirlpool, intoxicating An Ning.
”Plop!” ”Plop!”
Amidst the silence, An Ning heard her own heartbeat. It was as if something had broken through her heart and been reborn.
Someone's kitten passed by the wall and knocked a few rocks off. An Ning suddenly came back to her senses. She quickly stood up and backed away from Jiang Jia Han's embrace.
The street lamp, which she had originally despised, was now An Ning's ”shady cloth.” An Ning simply had to thank the workers who knew that the street lamp was broken but had been lazy to repair it. If it wasn't for them, she would have long since been seen through by Jiang Qisha's flushed face.
The two of them walked for two steps in silence. Suddenly, a big, warm hand wrapped around AnNing's body. She couldn't help shrinking, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. But, it was all held tightly by Jiang Ying without a doubt.
