Free Web NovelChapter 1167: Chapter 1167: She Has a Secret
After speaking, Jiang Xue strode toward the car that Nangong Chen had parked outside the community. The driver was slightly taken aback when he saw Jiang Xue get in. Just as he was about to ask, Nangong Chen also got in the car and then said, "Drive into the community!"
The driver started the car and headed toward the community.
Since Nangong Chen had a house here, as soon as the security checked his license plate number, they let him in without a hitch.
Once inside, Nangong Chen drove the car to his residence. The community had a mix of high-rise apartments and villas, with the high-rises in front and the villas in the back.
Nangong Chen lived in one of the villas, so his place was located further back. When the car stopped, Jiang Xue thanked Nangong Chen, opened the door, and got out of the car.
Little Fox had informed her that Nangong Yao’s place was not far away, and she didn’t need Nangong Chen to lead her. After getting out of the car, she headed straight towards Nangong Yao’s residence.
Nangong Chen watched, somewhat surprised. He had long suspected that Jiang Xue was hiding a secret, and now this feeling resurfaced.
It’s worth noting that he had only told Jiang Xue that Nangong Yao lived in this community, but he hadn’t given her the exact address.
Yet now, Jiang Xue was clearly heading in the direction of Nangong Yao’s place. Could it be just Jiang Xue’s intuition?
With this doubt, Nangong Chen followed alongside Jiang Xue. Seeing him follow, Jiang Xue cast him a sideways glance and said, "Aren’t you afraid of being recognized by Nangong Yao if you follow like this?"
"If she recognizes me, then so be it. It’s not like we get along anyway." Nangong Chen’s nonchalant attitude left Jiang Xue at a loss for words. She actually didn’t want him tagging along because his presence would make it difficult for her to act freely.
But she couldn’t openly tell him to leave since he had been the one to bring her in.
After some thought, Jiang Xue asked Little Fox in the space, "Little Fox, how far are we from Nangong Yao’s place?"
"Not far, two more buildings and you’ll reach her place. However, Nangong Yao isn’t in a good state right now; the things you left on her are acting up, and she’s in so much pain that she’s rolling on the ground."
"If that’s the case, we should wait a bit before going over. Is there a place nearby where we can sit for a while?"
"Yes, twenty meters to the left front."
Jiang Xue nodded, stepping towards the spot twenty meters away. Nangong Chen watched as Jiang Xue deviated from the path to Nangong Yao’s house, frowning again. He wondered if perhaps he had been overthinking before, otherwise, why would Jiang Xue be heading somewhere else?
Jiang Xue reached the resting place, sat down, and looked at the closely following Nangong Chen, asking, "Are you really not worried at all?"
"Why should I worry?" Nangong Chen retorted. freēwēbnovel.com
"Nangong Yao is your sister, after all."
"But she is also my enemy." Nangong Chen replied indifferently, leaving Jiang Xue stunned, staring at him blankly. For some reason, Jiang Xue suddenly recalled the first time she met Nangong Chen, when he was being pursued.
Now that Nangong Chen is the Young Master of the Nangong Family, she wondered if the pursuers had been sent by Nangong Yao’s father.
This thought took root as soon as it emerged in her mind. Jiang Xue took a deep look at Nangong Chen, sighing, "Every family has its own troubles."
Nangong Chen nodded, then looked at Jiang Xue, and said seriously, "Jiang Xue, remember this, although I am part of the Nangong family, I am different from them."
