Chiang Qing was informed by the signalman that someone was looking for her at the main gate, and she couldn’t help but wonder who it was. Xiao Tian?
As she arrived at the main gate and saw the person waiting there, Chiang Qing’s face immediately darkened. It wasn’t Xiao Tian, but Ning Ge, that shameless rogue.
Chiang Qing turned around to leave.
"Stop right there!" Ning Ge called out, quickly striding forward in three long steps to intercept Chiang Qing, "I haven’t even spoken, and you’re leaving? What’s the matter, feeling guilty? Afraid to see me, Fourth Young Master Ning?"
Chiang Qing stepped back, dodging his hand, "What do you want to do?"
"Where is Chiang Tian?" Ning Ge glared at her, demanding, "What kind of shenanigans are you two siblings plotting now?"
Chiang Qing let out a cold laugh, "Fourth Young Master Ning, aren’t you interfering a bit too much? What do my brother and I have to do with you? Do you need to breathe down our necks? Who do you think you are, extending your hand too far, aren’t you?"
"Whatever you’re planning, I advise you not to act rashly. It’s better to think things through before you act, or else you might drag down the entire Chiang Family," Ning Ge warned with narrowed eyes.
Chiang Qing laughed mockingly, saying, "Fourth Young Master Ning, are you here to warn me in such a hurry to stand up for Cheng Su? Are you afraid that we might do something to her? Or do you intend to protect her? Tsk tsk, I didn’t realize Fourth Young Master Ning could be so deep in loyalty and sentiment."
A light bulb went off in her head. Perhaps, she didn’t need Xiao Tian at all, having Ning Ge was enough. He was Cheng Su’s business partner, accompanying her day and night. It was common for feelings to develop over time.
Moreover, Ning Ge was also someone from Qi Taiguo’s inner circle, a trusted person. If Qi Taiguo were to find out that this ’younger brother’ he held dear had hooked up with his sister-in-law... tsk tsk, what an entertaining and lively drama that would be!
Excitement gleamed in Chiang Qing’s eyes, and the more she thought about that scenario, the more exhilarating it felt, even seeming to make her blood boil.
One of the hardest things for a person to accept is betrayal by someone they trust.
If such a thing really happened, Qi Taiguo would surely divorce Cheng Su!
Ning Ge’s brow furrowed deeply upon seeing the crazed light in Chiang Qing’s eyes, contemplating what malicious ideas she could be concocting. He watched her coldly, noting that she seemed even more deranged than the last time he saw her.
Could it be that Chiang Qing always had a mental issue?
Otherwise, could a person really sink into madness from unrequited desire?
"I am warning you..."
"You don’t need to warn me," Chiang Qing said coldly, looking at him with disdain, "Go ahead and protect Cheng Su all you want, fiercely if you must. If you can’t express your feelings for Cheng Su, I can lend you a hand."
Ning Ge’s expression shifted slightly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Chiang Qing laughed harshly, pointing at his chest with her finger, "You can fool others, but you can’t fool me. Ning Ge, you’re just as pitiable as I am, so stop pretending to be Big Head around me."
"You..." Ning Ge grabbed her hand, demanding, "What exactly are you scheming? What is the real purpose of Chiang Tian’s visit here?"
Chiang Qing shook off his hand, replying, "Can’t my brother come to see his sister? Qing City isn’t owned by the Ning Family, nor can you cover the sky with one hand. It’s none of your business."
Ning Ge glared at her with piercing eyes, and Chiang Qing stared back defiantly, without a hint of fear. She had discovered Ning Ge’s secret; what was there to be afraid of? It would be best if something happened between Ning Ge and Cheng Su – that would truly be a sight to see!
After Chiang Qing left, Ning Ge watched her retreating figure disappear, his expression darkening as much as the bottom of a pot.
