Chapter 1130 Shengnan 62
Perhaps it was because she slept better, or perhaps her heartache subsided, and with the help of Dr. Zheng's traditional Chinese medicine, Jiang Shengnan's complexion improved significantly in just one week.

She was originally a striking beauty with striking features, breathtakingly beautiful even without makeup. Now, with her complexion improving and her former beauty returning, she has instantly become the darling of Jin Jue's manor.

The aunt would give her various snacks whenever she had a spare moment, and the chef would also give her extra meals according to her tastes. Not to mention the others, who tried every means to get close to her.

The most clingy one is Jin Jue; he wants to take Jiang Shengnan everywhere he goes. If Jiang Shengnan weren't unwilling to come to his company, Jin Jue would take her to work with him.

Even so, Jin Jue was returning home earlier and earlier each day. This day was no exception; before five o'clock, Jin Jue had already returned to his large estate.

Jiang Shengnan put down her book and looked helplessly at the person who had snuggled up to her as soon as she returned, saying, "You're back?"

"Yes, I missed you so much." Jin Jue hugged her and took a deep breath: "Are you getting used to staying at home?"

“I feel very comfortable here,” Jiang Shengnan scratched his chin. “Auntie calls me to eat on time, which is really nice.”

She wanted to go home, but Jin Jue wasn't willing. He'd finally managed to get her to his territory, and now that they were boyfriend and girlfriend, how could he let Jiang Shengnan leave?

“We’re going to see Old Zheng tomorrow,” Jin Jue said, leaning against Jiang Shengnan as she lay down. “The thought of Zheng Linxi makes me not want to take you to see Old Zheng.”

"Zheng Linxi?" Jiang Shengnan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Who is that?"

She naturally knew who Zheng Linxi was, but even before they were together, Jin Jue was already incredibly jealous. If she were to say that she remembered Zheng Linxi, who knew how long he would sulk again.

Since Jiang Shengnan had no recollection of Zheng Linxi, Jin Jue could only be happy. Although he roughly knew that Jiang Shengnan was pretending not to know, the fact that she was willing to coax him was already very important.

“Not an important person,” Jin Jue hugged Jiang Shengnan like a cat, “Let’s go on a date after we see Old Zheng tomorrow. We’ve never officially gone on a date since we got together.”

Jiang Shengnan thought about it and couldn't help but look forward to it, saying, "Okay, where do you want to go on a date? How about we go see Xiao He?"

Jin Jue's eyes gradually turned dangerous: "Xiao He? He Zechuan?"

"Yeah, he messaged me today asking if I had time to come over for dinner," Jiang Shengnan said with a smile. "His food is pretty good; I'm kind of craving it."

"Ugh... Why did you bite me?"

Jin Jue stepped back slightly, looking at the faint teeth marks on Jiang Shengnan's fingers, her jealousy flaring: "You and He Zechuan are in frequent contact?"

Jiang Shengnan finally understood. She was both angry and amused: "Are you really that jealous? He's nine years younger than me, still a child. We're not even from the same generation. Why are you so jealous?"

“You’re only six years younger than me,” Jin Jue said quietly. “He hugged you the moment he saw you; I’ve never hugged you before.”

"Also, he works at a club, and you two even met there... You gave him so much money..."

Jiang Shengnan was dumbfounded. The reason He Zechuan treated her differently was because of Tan You. And was it her who went to the club? It was Tan You. How could this be pinned on her? She hadn't done anything.

“Going to the club wasn’t my choice either,” Jiang Shengnan racked his brains. “It was Jia Hui who wanted to relax, so we went to check it out. The reason I gave He Zechuan money wasn’t for that reason either; wasn’t it just that I wanted to spend money to buy some peace and quiet?”

Seeing Jiang Shengnan trying to calm herself, a smile flickered in Jin Jue's eyes. To avoid giving himself away, he buried his face in the crook of Jiang Shengnan's neck, his voice slightly muffled: "Whatever you say." Jiang Shengnan finally came to her senses. She gritted her teeth and quickly and accurately pinched the soft flesh on Jin Jue's arm: "Jin Jue!"

“I was wrong,” Jin Jue slid to his knees very quickly: “Nan Nan, I was just jealous, jealous that you are seen as a savior in other people’s eyes.”

Jiang Shengnan remained silent for a long time before saying, "There is no such thing as anyone being anyone's savior. He provides emotional value, and I provide money. It is a fair exchange of equal value and the purest monetary relationship."

"Your jealousy is unreasonable, and he doesn't like me either."

Jin Jue smiled enigmatically. Did he not like her? Perhaps not. But he wouldn't expose He Zechuan's feelings; why invite a rival into his life?

There are too many people who covet Jiang Shengnan. What was that high school classmate's name again? And then there's Zheng Linxi, not to mention the various flowers that are frequently sent to the coffee shop.

If He Zechuan were added to the mix, Jin Jue felt like she would be drowning in a vat of jealousy.

The two huddled together talking, while Aunt Wang, who was helping out in the kitchen, shook her head: "The gentleman is too good for Miss Jiang. It's like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung."

The chef said nonchalantly, "Yes, sir, besides having some money, he doesn't have any other redeeming qualities."

The butler smiled and said, "That's why we need to treat Miss Jiang even better and try our best to keep her here."

On his third visit to the Zheng family, Jiang Shengnan was in good spirits. As soon as he sat down, Old Master Zheng smiled and said, "You look good; it seems you've recovered very well recently."

“Yes, I haven’t been having insomnia lately.” Jiang Shengnan glanced at Jin Jue, who looked around as if facing a formidable enemy: “You’re right, a mental illness requires a mental cure. I’m doing fine now.”

Old Zheng said irritably, "Stop looking. Xiao Er didn't come back today. Just think about it, how could anyone else possibly take the person you've set your sights on?"

Jin Jue was secretly pleased, but he still had to keep a straight face: "Look at what you're saying. It's a real pity that I didn't get to chat with Lin Xi for long last time."

"What's there to regret?" A somewhat lazy voice rang out. Zheng Linxi was standing in the entryway with one hand in his pocket, his eyes full of mockery.

"Brother Jin, let's chat a little longer today."

Jin Jue's expression changed, while Jiang Shengnan's lips curled up, choosing not to get involved in their subtle power struggle. Men's matters should be left to them to resolve.

After taking Jiang Shengnan's pulse for a long time, Old Zheng smiled and said, "It seems you've had a very comfortable week."

“It is indeed very comforting,” Jiang Shengnan hugged the pillow, feeling a little embarrassed under Old Zheng’s all-knowing gaze, but still said frankly, “I’m also giving it a try with him. Rather than suffering and getting caught up in internal conflicts myself, I might as well give it a try.”

"If it doesn't work out, I'll accept it. After all, a short pain is worse than a long one."

“It won’t be impossible,” Jin Jue said, keeping an eye on Jiang Shengnan even while bickering with Zheng Linxi. Now, hearing Jiang Shengnan say this, he snuggled up to her and hugged her waist, his chin resting on her shoulder: “We will be together forever.”

"You're so mushy," Jiang Shengnan blushed slightly, "Old Zheng is still here."

She's clearly a stunningly beautiful woman, and at her age, she's experienced everything she should have. Yet, she still gets shy and blushes when things get a little intimate, and this contrast is particularly captivating.
