The old tutor said solemnly, "Another plate."
Ning Jiang smiled."Sure."
Luo Hanshang, who was at the door, turned around and walked into the living room to wait for her.
Ning Jiang had played three rounds of chess with the old man and won two.
She didn't want her grandfather to lose too badly. Thus, in the second round, she had used her own method to purposefully lose to her grandfather by a few chess pieces.
When the old man was preparing to play the fourth game with her, Luo Hanshang walked in.
"Grandfather, that's enough. I'm going to take Ning Jiang back first."
The lordmaster said rather unhappily, "It's only been a few hours, yet you're already urging me like this."
Luo Hanshang put his arm around Ning Jiang's shoulder and said, "If you're not in a hurry to get a grandson, I'm not in a hurry either."
Ning Jiang tilted her head and rolled her eyes at him.
His words were truly too unbridled.
Luo Hanshang smiled evilly at his grandpa as if he didn't see anything.
The old man looked at the two of them and waved his hands impatiently."Alright, alright, alright. You two can leave now."
Ning Jiang said, "Grandfather, let's play chess again next time."
The old man raised an eyebrow."Let's do it this weekend."
"Alright."
She agreed and then left with Luo Hanshang.
Ning Jiang busied herself with her work for several days in a row. Every day, she would have to wait until 8 or 9 o'clock before she could return to the hotel.
Since it was related to the preparation for the early stage of the project, she had no time to pay attention to the investigation.
On Thursday night, Ning Jiang finished her shift and was about to leave the company when she met Jiang Shicheng in the elevator.
Ning Jiang glanced at him and nodded, "Director Jiang, good evening."
Jiang Shicheng did not say anything.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Ning Jiang should have gone down. However, after a moment of hesitation, she turned to look at him."Uncle Jiang, how have you been?"
Jiang Shicheng looked at her and said after a long silence, "Do you want to get off the elevator?"
She pursed her lips, "I want to go down. But I have a feeling that if I don't ask good old colleagues who used to have a good relationship with my father, I will be sorry for the praise my father gave you over the years."
Jiang Shicheng scowled: "I'm in a hurry."
Ning Jiang smiled and walked off the elevator without a trace of anger.
When the elevator door was about to close, Jiang Shicheng pressed the open button.
"Ning Jiang, I hope you can join our company and enter this project for the sole purpose of increasing your knowledge and experience. As for other matters, don't ask too much."
"I don't quite understand what CEO Jiang means."I don't know what Director Jiang is referring to ..." She hesitated to speak.
Jiang Shicheng didn't say anything else and released his hand.
The elevator door slowly closed.
Ning Jiang stood facing the elevator door for a minute. The human heart could actually be so cold.
When she returned to the hotel, Luo Hanshang was waiting for her.
He said unhappily, "Why are you so late?"
"Yes, I've been back so late lately."
"Those who don't know, they think I've treated my employees badly."
Ning Jiang's face was a little tired. She smiled at him and said, "Your employee is willing to work overtime for you. Isn't that a good thing?"
He would rather not have her be so diligent. The feeling of waiting for someone was simply too unpleasant.
He pointed at the short silver gown hanging on the shelf."You go and try it out."
She wondered, "Do we have any important occasions to attend?"
"Grandmother sent it. She wants you to wear it tomorrow when you get your marriage certificate."
Ning Jiang looked at her dress and sighed.
Luo Hanshang raised his eyebrows, "What?" Your gra y's heart is something that you disdain very much? "
"You misunderstood me, " she said, walking over to the shelf, took off her gown, looked at him seriously, and said, "I didn't think that Grandmother would think so much, but we used a fake marriage to deceive her. I feel very sorry for her."
Luo Hanshang raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you still have some conscience."
Ning Jiang looked at him."What is conscience?" "Can you eat it?"
She curled her lips into a smile and returned to her bedroom.
Very soon, she finished changing her clothes and returned to his side. She then turned around and asked, "How was it? Did you pass?"
Luo Hanshang crossed his legs and stared at her for a while.
She was a little embarrassed by the look."Not good? Even if I don't look good, I still have to wear it because it was chosen by your grandmother."
"Not bad. However, you probably don't know when you'll look the best in my eyes."
She did not speak.
He answered seriously, "You're the most beautiful when you're not wearing anything."
She was somewhat surprised at what was called being serious. She had finally witnessed it today.
In the past, when she had seen him standing beside Mo Lan, always at a distance between them, she had thought he was a gentleman. But originally ...
"Was it the same when you were alone with Mo Lan before?"
"Which one?"
"Casually teasing her."
He smiled."What do you think?"
Ning Jiang thought for a moment."Men probably like to flirt with women."
His face darkened. This evaluation truly made him angry.
"It seems that men have flirted with you quite a few times. Otherwise, why would you exclaim like that? "
Seeing that his tone was a little off, in order not to anger him and cause trouble for herself, she hurriedly said, "I used to walk the same path as the cold goddess Fan'er, and no one dared to tease me. I only saw you teasing me all the time, so I thought you were the same to other women."
Luo Hanshang pondered for a moment.
Indeed, Ning Jiang was the first woman he always wanted to tease.
This feeling... Very different.
