Free Web NovelChapter 1166: Chapter 1166: Not Joking
As for Jiang Xue wanting to sneak into the neighborhood, he could help solve that problem.
But looking at Jiang Xue now, it’s obvious she doesn’t want his help anymore.
Nangong Chen was wondering whether he should take the initiative to offer help. If he didn’t, who knows how long Jiang Xue would have to wait.
But if he did, what if Jiang Xue didn’t appreciate it? Or worse, what if she got angry?
Nangong Chen hesitated, not sure whether to tell Jiang Xue. Meanwhile, Jiang Xue had already walked to her chosen spot, then turned to Nangong Chen and said, "Nangong Chen, since you’re not willing to leave, then give me a hand."
"What do you want me to do?" Nangong Chen asked with a smile.
"You see this place, right? The wall’s pretty low. I want to go in, so please be my stepping stone down there."
"Jiang Xue, are you going to climb the wall?" Nangong Chen froze, looking at Jiang Xue.
"What do you think?" Jiang Xue gave him a look like he was an idiot and said, "If I don’t climb the wall, how else will I get in?"
"Jiang Xue, if I say I have a way in, would you be mad?" Nangong Chen thought it was improper for a girl to climb walls, so after hesitating, he decided to share that he could enter the neighborhood.
"You can get in?" Jiang Xue looked astonished, staring at Nangong Chen. After a moment, she glared at him and said, "Why didn’t you say so earlier? You wasted my time."
"Me?" Nangong Chen looked at Jiang Xue, speechless. In the end, Jiang Xue glared at him again and urged, "What are you still standing around for? Let’s go!"
"Alright, alright, alright, let’s go!" Nangong Chen said this while walking towards the neighborhood entrance. Jiang Xue watched, stopped in her tracks, and then asked Nangong Chen, "You’re not going to tell me you’re planning to go through the main entrance?"
"What do you think?" Nangong Chen smiled, not directly answering Jiang Xue’s question. But his expression and tone clearly told Jiang Xue she had guessed right. freewēbnoveℓ.com
"Are you kidding me?" Jiang Xue glared at Nangong Chen. If they went through the main entrance, what was the point of her needing him?
She was heading to confront Nangong Yao, and she didn’t want anyone to know. If they went through the main entrance, what’s the point of all the effort she just spent?
"I’m not joking!" Nangong Chen said seriously. Seeing Jiang Xue about to lose her temper, he quickly added, "I have an apartment in this neighborhood. If you don’t want anyone to see you, just ride in my car directly."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue’s expression turned sour. If she’d known Nangong Chen had a place here, she wouldn’t have wasted all that time and effort.
"Why didn’t you say so earlier?" Jiang Xue glared at Nangong Chen in annoyance, lowering her impression of him further. If Nangong Chen had known, he’d surely feel wronged.
It wasn’t like he deliberately chose not to tell Jiang Xue; she had gotten out of the car and started circling the neighborhood without saying a word, leaving him no chance to speak, right?
Yet, Jiang Xue wouldn’t see it that way; she thought Nangong Chen was purposely watching her make a fool of herself.
"You didn’t give me a chance!" Nangong Chen said, looking pitiful. His words left Jiang Xue so frustrated she didn’t know what to say. She pointed at him, wanting to speak, but ultimately said nothing.
Forget it, she decided not to fuss over it with him and prioritized handling the matter first. Otherwise, it’ll get too late and unsafe to return.
So, Jiang Xue suppressed her irritation and displeasure, turned to Nangong Chen and said, "Let’s go, I’m in a hurry."
