When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1134 Shengnan 66
Jiang Shengnan was amused by the aggrieved look in his words. She scratched Jin Jue's chin and kissed the corner of his lips: "You still remember things from the past?"

"Yeah, I'll never forget it." Jin Jue leaned on her shoulder like a big bear: "He is him, and I am me. Nan Nan, you can't hold him accountable."

"Don't worry, I won't hold it against you." Jiang Shengnan was in a good mood. She nudged Jin Jue's shoulder and said, "Aren't we going to have a meeting? You go ahead and do your work. I'll read a book here."

Seeing Jin Jue staring at her, Jiang Shengnan smiled and said, "I promise, I won't go anywhere until you come back from the meeting."

"Okay," Jin Jue said happily. After receiving a long kiss, he went to the conference room in high spirits, leaving Jiang Shengnan in the main office.

As soon as Jin Jue left, Jiang Shengnan started calling out to Tan You: "Teacher, did that bastard Yan Yu go to see Sara? Sara didn't tell me."

"No, it's working hours now, I don't want to disturb Sara's work. I'll contact Sara during lunch break."

Tan You's voice was calm: "I haven't been paying attention lately. Isn't it because you haven't been doing well lately? As for Yan Yu..."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Even a scoundrel can have a heart. I saw a trace of affection in him. I never imagined that such a heartless and fickle person could actually develop feelings for someone."

Jiang Shengnan stared in disbelief for a long time before angrily punching the pillow: "Then what should we do? Take away his love threads? That would be too easy on him. We should torture him properly."

"It doesn't matter," Tan You said indifferently. "If he can win back Sara's love, I won't interfere anymore. If he can't, then there's just one more person in the world who loves someone unrequitedly."

The thought that Yan Yu would soon experience the same unrequited love that Sara had gone through made Jiang Shengnan feel indignant. Ultimately, she was on Sara's side.

Jiang Shengnan remained somewhat absent-minded until the end of lunch. Jin Jue sighed helplessly, "Contact Sara. I think you're about to burst. You've been thinking about all sorts of things during the meal, even though you promised to spend the afternoon with me."

Jiang Shengnan smiled at him: "Sara is a friend, I'll make it up to you later."

Jin Jue held her fingers, his gaze deepening: "How will you compensate me?"

Who understands? He clearly falls asleep holding his girlfriend every night, yet he's truly in a very pure relationship. Holding hands, hugging, kissing—everything is there, but nothing else is possible.

But seeing Jiang Shengnan's still thin body, Jin Jue could only take a deep breath and endure it.

Jiang Shengnan blushed slightly and whispered something in Jin Jue's ear. Jin Jue's eyes lit up: "Really?"

“Really?” Jiang Shengnan nodded haphazardly. “Sara is off this afternoon, and I want to chat with her a little longer. I haven’t been to a coffee shop in a long time either. Can you pick me up from the coffee shop tonight?”

“Okay,” Jin Jue kissed Jiang Shengnan’s fingertip, his eyes gleaming with a sly glint, “Don’t forget what you promised me.”

"I won't forget," Jiang Shengnan said, shrinking her fingers slightly, still trying to maintain her composure.

After dropping Jiang Shengnan off at the coffee shop, Jin Jue went to work. Thinking about Jiang Shengnan's promise, Jin Jue suddenly felt that time was passing so slowly today.
In the coffee shop, Jiang Shengnan was on her phone, chatting quietly with Sara: "How's work been lately?"

Sara didn't want Jiang Shengnan to worry, so she downplayed the issue by saying, "It's fine, work is going well."

Jiang Shengnan leaned closer to the video: "Just talking about work, what about your life?" Sara didn't answer Jiang Shengnan's question, but instead looked intently at the other end of the video: "Why have you lost so much weight? Have you been feeling unwell lately?"

Jiang Shengnan touched her cheek: "It's okay, I'm on a diet."

“Don’t try to fool me,” Sara frowned and said seriously, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll book a flight back right now.”

"I'll talk, I'll talk, okay? I asked you first." Jiang Shengnan muttered, and seeing Sara about to get up, she quickly explained, "There were some minor hiccups before, but everything's fine now."

Sara, however, wouldn't let it go so easily and began to dig deeper: "What twists and turns?"

Jiang Shengnan had no choice: "I suddenly realized that I was not loved or expected to come into this world, and in order to completely sever ties with the past, I fell ill."

Sara looked at Jiang Shengnan, her eyes gradually reddening: "You didn't tell me how sad you were back then, did you? You were there for me when I was at my lowest, but I wasn't there when you were in pain."

Jiang Shengnan tried hard to hold back her tears: "It was really tough back then, but thankfully we made it through."

She shook her finger as she spoke: "I'm in a relationship. I'll introduce you two when you come back to China."

Sara stared at the ring on her hand, her eyes widening slightly. "Didn't you always say that staying single and childless is the best way to stay safe? How come you're dating? We even agreed to go to a nursing home together when we're old."

Jiang Shengnan rested her chin on the back of her hand: "Jin Jue is so clingy, and the timing was just too perfect. Sara, do you know Abebe?"

Sara fell silent, and then Jiang Shengnan said, "Completely cutting ties with one's family of origin is really painful. At that time, I felt like my heart was about to break. The pain of having all my internal organs clenched together still makes me shudder when I think about it now."

“When I was heartbroken to the point of fainting, Jin Jue appeared in front of me. After I returned to S City, I couldn’t sleep for nights on end. Only when he was by my side could I sleep peacefully. He became my Abebei.”

"My body remembered Jin Jue's scent before my mind did, but I couldn't accept it rationally. I couldn't accept that I would fall for a playboy. I was really sad when I learned about Jin Jue's past."

“I’m not as passionate or decisive as you. If someone is kind to me, I’ll repay them several times over. Even if he has such a complicated past, he’s been too good to me. My reason tells me to stay away from him, but I can’t do it emotionally.”

Sara understood: "Nannan...that period must have been difficult, right?"

“It was really too hard,” Jiang Shengnan wiped away her tears. “Now I can finally understand the pain you went through. I despise myself for it. If Jin Jue hadn’t been so good to me, I might have forgotten him immediately and made him disappear from my life completely.”

"But it's because he's so good to me. No man has ever been so good to me before." She laughed self-deprecatingly. "I've never received fatherly love before. In the past, when I went on blind dates, the men were only after my looks."

"Jin Jue... he fulfilled all my fantasies about the role of a man. Knowing that I was suffering from insomnia, he would take me to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, try his best to make me happy, and seriously... pursue me."

"It's just a man's concern, but I just can't bear to give it up. If I wanted to, I would have plenty of men to choose from, but this is just how cruel it is. I can't sleep at all without Jin Jue."

Sara: "So you said yes to him?"
