Chapter 785: Chapter 785: Pushed into the Limelight Chapter 785: Chapter 785: Pushed into the Limelight Ning Yanan paused, turning around to look at him.
Just a glance and she quickly turned her head away, her movements were unbelievably fast.
He was wearing nothing, with one leg slightly bent. Everything that was meant to be seen and not meant to be seen, Ning Yanan had seen it all.
Ning Yanan clenched her fists, trying to regain her calm; her face, however, couldn’t help but flushed red.
“So this is being a pervert, huh? You seemed to enjoy it when I was ‘really’ being one last night.” Jiang Jinchen had no shame or embarrassment whatsoever.
He leisurely stepped towards Ning Yanan, encircling her waist from behind.
Pulling her into his arms, he rested his chin on her delicate collarbone, “Yaya, have you figured it out? Do you really like me?”
Actually, he wanted to say love, but he feared that it was too sudden and it would scare her away.
The words on the tip of his tongue were straightforwardly revised to ‘like’.
Ning Yanan stiffened, lowering her gaze, not uttering a word.
There was no need to answer that question, was there?
If she did not like him, how would they have ended up in bed together….
“Weren’t you under house arrest? How did you suddenly come to America?” Ning Yanan abruptly asked.
Jiang Jinchen’s appearance was too sudden, too unexpected, rendering her incapable of thinking, completely plunging her into a state of chaos.
Now that she was lucid, there were many questions she could no longer ignore.
“So you knew about my house arrest but never thought about looking for me.” Jiang Jinchen gripped her shoulders, straightening her body, looking at her face to face.
“If I hadn’t come, would you have pretended to have never known me? Completely forget me?”
The mere thought of this possibility made Jiang Jinchen seethe with anger.
Ning Yanan was at a loss for words, avoiding his questioning, “I saw the news yesterday, did you not attend the Jiang family’s engagement banquet at all?”
“I’ll answer that question later, get ready for breakfast. After eating, we need to visit Hanjie. Will you accompany me?” Jiang Jinchen knew he could not persuade her right away and he decided not to force her into submission.
Leading her into the bathroom.
Along the way, Ning Yanan learned that Jiang Jinchen had abruptly escaped from the engagement banquet, causing a huge commotion.
If it were not for Dan Hanjie who had her under house arrest ahead of time, she might have been killed in the streets yesterday.
The Jiang family wouldn’t go easy on her, the source of all troubles.
“As long as I’m here, nobody dares to lay a finger on you.”
Jiang Jinchen noticed her unease and held her hand tightly throughout the journey.
Ning Yanan remained in a daze after reading the domestic newspapers.
Her eyes blank, her mind empty, not knowing what she was thinking. She let him hold her all the way to the private villa.
The moment they stepped out of the car, the butler was already waiting outside.
Seeing Jiang Jinchen and Ning Yanan, he greeted them respectfully, “Mr. Jinchen, Miss Ning, please follow me.”
They walked through the courtyard and into the living room. On the luxurious leather sofa, was Dan Hanjie alone.
His tall body sank into the sofa, with long legs elegantly crossed, and a hand Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform.
Seeing the two, hand in hand, entering the room, his seductive eyes flickered slightly, and his thin lips opened slightly.
“You two seem to be enjoying yourselves. The groom of the Jiang family’s engagement banquet vanished into thin air, which has become the talk of the town. Believe it or not, if you dare to return to Fico City now, she would immediately be riddled with holes.”
Dan Hanjie pointe his long finger, pointing a Ning Yanan.
