The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379: Chapter 378: I’m Not Arguing with You

Jiang Nanshu had never been foolish, and now she gradually realized what was happening.

She pushed Lu Qingyan away, her eyebrows slightly furrowing, "Are you locking me up?"

Lu Qingyan’s expression remained unchanged, his smile gentle, "Why would I do that? I’m worried about you. If you got sick, I would go insane."

Jiang Nanshu choked up.

He embraced her again, "Can we not fight, please? I really regret not answering your last call. I’ll never do that again. Forgive me, I was wrong."

Jiang Nanshu silently looked at him.

This year, Lu Qingyan was already twenty-seven, and time had left profound marks on him. Compared to his previous sunny demeanor, he had become mature and composed. The suit he wore added an indescribable charm. His handsome features and sincere eyes when he was honest made Jiang Nanshu’s heart soften.

The decision had been hers. If it weren’t for their cold war, she might have stayed for a month, and the outcome wouldn’t have changed.

"I won’t argue with you, but you better not lie to me." Jiang Nanshu wasn’t going to let anyone lock her up.

Then she would rest for a few more days.

When her gaze landed on the Buddha Beads on his left wrist, Jiang Nanshu asked, "Where did you get this? Since when did you believe in such things?"

Lu Qingyan glanced at it too; the wooden Buddha Beads gleamed. He smiled slightly, "It’s just something to cover up ugly scars. It’s not important."

That’s when Jiang Nanshu remembered, he had attempted suicide that night.

Guilt flooded her like a tide, and she lowered her head, "I’m sorry, Lu Qingyan."

She should have said these words to him long ago.

She should have apologized for her past behavior long ago.

Lu Qingyan was stunned, then his eyes brightened with a smile, "It’s not your fault, it’s all mine. I didn’t call off the engagement at first because I could hear your heart, my motives were impure, I wanted to see how things would unfold, I knew you were playing me, yet I still wanted to be the successful bystander, I was attracted to you first but still coveted your proactive affection."

He raised his hand to feel the beating of Jiang Nanshu’s heart and smiled contentedly, "I’m glad you came back. We will never be apart again."

Jiang Nanshu’s physical condition had always been good; she was much better after about three days of rest.

Lu Qingyan went to the office every day. Jiang Nanshu watched his car drive out of the estate discreetly. The large gate, thick and broad like a high wall, opened only for those moments; only then could Jiang Nanshu see the outside world. But within seconds, the gate would shut heavily again.

Trapped in this villa, Jiang Nanshu spent her days idly. The domestic staff, as if trained, dared not speak a word to her. Whenever she asked about what was happening outside, they would shake their heads as if they were mute.

As she changed her clothes intending to take a walk around the estate, the servants neatly blocked her way, "Madam, the gentleman said you shouldn’t go out these days. It’s cold outside; you should stay in."

It was March, and Jiang Nanshu wore a thick sweater, not feeling cold at all.

"Move aside, I want some fresh air."

Jiang Nanshu wanted to explore the villa. Since she had moved in, this was the fourth day, and she wanted to see what it was enclosed by.

Living like a prisoner!

A few servants looked troubled, "Madam, please, if you go out, the gentleman won’t be pleased. We will lose our jobs."

Jiang Nanshu saw their pleading looks; surely they couldn’t get fired just because she had run out?

But she didn’t want to take the risk. They were all working people, why make it hard for them?

So, she went back to her room.

She didn’t even have a cell phone. The only thing in the house that could connect to the internet was the surveillance system. Jiang Nanshu stared at the surveillance in disbelief then turned and walked away.

At six in the evening.

Lu Qingyan would come back at exactly this time.

Jiang Nanshu stood on the balcony watching his car return.

A man in a suit got out of the front passenger seat and respectfully went to open the back door.

Lu Qingyan, dressed in a dark overcoat, had a detached expression and an aura that screamed, "keep away from me."

Jiang Nanshu noticed the tall and thin man next to him, probably his secretary.
