Chapter 1111 Shengnan 43
Xu Muchuan understood Jiang Shengnan's meaning and smiled, "Okay, let's make another appointment next time."

Jiang Shengnan nodded perfunctorily and entered the villa under Jin Jue's guidance.

On the contrary, the client who came to relax with Xu Muchuan narrowed his eyes as he watched Jin Jue's retreating figure. Looking at the way Jin Jue took care of Jiang Shengnan in his every move, he understood what was going on.

He Jiahui couldn't hold back any longer: "Jiang Jiang, your high school classmate has feelings for you."

"That's his business," Jiang Shengnan said calmly. "What does it have to do with me?"

He Jiahui glanced at Xia Ji and Wu You: "I told you she was heartless, but you didn't believe me."

Jiang Shengnan pretended not to hear the comment: "He's just a high school classmate. It's been fourteen years since we last saw each other. Just because he showed me affection, does that mean I have to reciprocate? Besides, his affection came too easily and was too superficial."

He Jiahui understood, but still pressed on with gossip: "How did you two meet?"

Jiang Shengnan: "I met him in the airport waiting room the day I came back."

He Jiahui: "That's quite a coincidence. You met in Singapore and now you've met here again. Meeting twice in such a short period of time, it's really amazing how fate works."

Jin Jue was displeased: "Nannan, do you think fate is more important, or hard work?"

"Of course I think hard work is important, but fate can be created by people." Jiang Shengnan smiled and said, "Of course I value hard work more."

She couldn't keep harping on the idea of ​​fate; her encounter with Xu Muchuan was, frankly, just a coincidence. Besides, if Jin Jue hadn't come to the manor, she wouldn't have seen Xu Muchuan again.

So, when it comes to fate, this relationship was actually created by Jin Jue.

Jin Jue laughed genuinely, impressed by Jiang Shengnan's composure and her dislike for Xu Muchuan. They hadn't gone far when a chubby middle-aged man came out to greet them.

The other person greeted Jin Jue with a hug without any hesitation: "Old Jin, it's been a long time since you've been here. What brings you here today?"

After hugging the other person, Jin Jue introduced him: "Old Fang is the owner of the villa, this is Jiang Shengnan, and those are her friends."

Old Fang glanced at Jiang Shengnan, and then, judging from Jin Jue's tone, knew who the main character was today. His plump face beamed with a friendly smile as Old Fang shook hands with Jiang Shengnan: "Miss Jiang, please don't be shy. Old Jin and I are old friends. If you have any inconveniences, just ask Old Jin, and he can handle it."

Jiang Shengnan replied gracefully, "No problem, thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Fang. I also want to thank Mr. Jin for bringing us to this paradise."

Old Fang winked at Jin Jue. "President Jin? That's a clever way to address him."

Jin Jue shrugged with a wry smile. What could he do? He had finally managed to change his tune in the car, but it changed again as soon as they arrived at the villa.

Old Fang quickly went to greet other guests. He Jiahui's eyes darted around, and she pulled Xia Ji and Wu You over: "Let's wander around on our own first. Dr. Xu, are you coming?"

Xu Yuan followed: "Of course I want to stay with you..."

Jiang Shengnan glanced at He Jiahui's retreating figure and thought that He Jiahui was truly straightforward, just throwing herself at Jin Jue like that. Jin Jue smiled with satisfaction, thinking to himself that He Jiahui really knew how to read the room.

Hiding a smile from his lips, Jin Jue looked at Jiang Shengnan: "Shall I take you back to your room first, and then we can wander around?" "Sure, whatever you say." Since they were already on someone else's turf, Jiang Shengnan didn't hesitate. Since she had promised to repay Jin Jue's favor, she naturally wouldn't spoil the fun.

"Your friend's villa is really interesting." Jiang Shengnan, wearing a straw hat, was strolling with Jin Jue through the peach orchard. "The peaches smell so sweet."

Jin Jue walked beside her, carrying a fruit basket in one hand: "It's even more beautiful in spring."

Jiang Shengnan imagined the scene of peach blossoms in full bloom and couldn't help but narrow her eyes: "Indeed, do you come here often?"

Jin Jue chuckled: "I come two or three times a year, I guess. I'm usually quite busy with work. Would you like to pick some peaches to take home? The kitchen can make all sorts of desserts from them."

"The sun will get even stronger and the temperature will be high outside in a little while, so be careful of heatstroke."

Jiang Shengnan looked up at the sun and became interested: "Okay, I heard that peaches can also be used to make wine, I'll have to try it later."

Jin Jue: "Peach wine must be made from fully ripe peaches to make the fruit flavor sweeter and richer."

Jiang Shengnan focused intently on the ripe peaches, while Jin Jue followed her around like a little helper, occasionally reminding her which peaches were riper. Soon, the fruit basket was piled high with peaches.

Jiang Shengnan said with great interest, "I'll take these back to brew wine. I want to find a fully ripe one."

Jin Jue looked at the dimple on Jiang Shengnan's left cheek and thought to himself that it hadn't been easy for her to finally be happy again. He slowed his pace: "You like it well-cooked?"

“Yes,” Jiang Shengnan didn’t even look at Jin Jue, her eyes scanning around. Until she saw a bright red peach on the top of a tree to her side, just by looking at its color, she could almost smell its sweet aroma.

Jiang Shengnan ran over and looked up at the peach above her head, reaching out but naturally unable to reach it. She turned to look at Jin Jue, who looked up and said, "From this height, I can't reach it either."

Jiang Shengnan stared at the peach for a couple of seconds and said, "Never mind, let's go find the next one."

Jin Jue put the basket on the ground. "The peaches in the low-lying areas have almost all been picked. Unless we use tools, should we try a different method?"

Jiang Shengnan looked up at him, only to see Jin Jue slightly bending over. The next second, a feeling of weightlessness came over her, and Jiang Shengnan found that her field of vision had suddenly increased. Only then did she realize that Jin Jue had actually lifted her up, and she was sitting on Jin Jue's right shoulder.

Jiang Shengnan shifted her legs slightly, but Jin Jue pretended not to notice her discomfort. He looked up at Jiang Shengnan and asked, "Can you pick it?"

Jiang Shengnan picked the peach hanging on the branch, her voice a little hoarse for the first time: "I've picked it, put me down now."

In a certain spot in the peach orchard, He Jiahui was snapping photos with her phone, exclaiming, "Wow, President Jin is really something! He actually did it right away!"

Standing beside her with a smile in her eyes, Xu Yuan glanced at Jin Jue and Jiang Shengnan leaving hand in hand not far away and suddenly felt that this trip together was quite interesting.

On the way there, Jiang Shengnan fell silent, but her ears remained bright red. Jin Jue glanced at her, deciding not to say anything at this moment. They had already made significant progress, and he needed to know when to stop.

Just thinking about the scene from earlier made Jin Jue's fingers twitch involuntarily. Now he understood what "lean but not skinny" meant; he felt as if he had touched a piece of mutton-fat jade, extremely smooth and lustrous.
