Chapter 231 Let's Be Together
Jiang Ning followed behind him and sighed, "I knew that noodle shop would shine."

Xie Jingyan, who was walking in front, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Go to the window and order: "Two bowls of beef noodles, extra meat, less chopped green onions, no cilantro."

Jiang Ning covered his hungry stomach, silently glanced at Xie Jingyan's tall back, and sat in his seat waiting for him.

Until the hot noodles are served, steam rises and the aroma fills the air.

Jiang Ning couldn't wait any longer.

After taking the first bite, she looked at Xie Jingyan with sparkling eyes: "It's exactly the same. I'm three times happier to be able to eat beef noodles from this restaurant in Beijing."

Xie Jingyan stirred the noodles with chopsticks and replied, "As long as you like it."

Jiang Ning was eating with a grunt, and Xie Jingyan suddenly felt like he had an appetite as well.

In fact, he doesn't eat much after 8 o'clock in the evening.

Because he had three meals a day normally, he was in good health. Most of the senior managers in his company had some stomach problems, but he didn't.

It took me half an hour to eat a bowl of noodles.

Jiang Ning took a final sip of the soup with satisfaction, then put the bowl down and clutched his stomach, feeling very satisfied: "It's delicious. I'll come back tomorrow."

Xie Jingyan put down his chopsticks and chuckled: "You are always so easily satisfied."

Many people like expensive and luxurious Western food and exquisite and well-presented dishes, but only Jiang Ning, even with his big boss out, only wants a bowl of beef noodles.

Jiang Ning also laughed, his eyes curved: "Of course, as long as I have enough food and drink and live, that's all I need. This is my ultimate goal in life."

"Thank you for your hospitality. I'll treat you next time."

Xie Jingyan nodded: "Okay."

He walked out and Jiang Ning followed.

Xie Jingyan opened the passenger seat first and gestured to Jiang Ning: "Get in."

Jiang Ning didn't hesitate, and Xie Jingyan followed closely behind him and got into the driver's seat.

The car headed towards the apartment in the northern part of Jiangning.

Jiang Ning turned his head to look at the neon lights outside the car window.

The colors reflected in her pupils are colorful.

Xie Jingyan's eyes lingered on Jiang Ning, his thin lips tightly pursed.

Why did he feel that his relationship with Jiang Ning had become more distant...

Xie Jingyan took a deep breath and waited for Jiang Ning to take the initiative, unless a sow would climb a tree.

He cleared his throat and said slowly, "Jiang Ning, you've been here for so many days, don't you have anything you want to ask?"

Jiang Ning's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his tone was casual and relaxed: "What's there to ask? You know I came here on a mission, and you also know that I don't belong to this world. I am a person in another world, and it's no different here."

Jiang Ning's voice was very faint, without a strong sense of belonging, as if she was just a guest here to play.

Xie Jingyan felt as if his heart was torn open, with a sharp and intense pain. It was a wound that belonged only to Jiang Ning.

She could control his heartbeat freely.

Whether it was ten years ago or ten years later.

The first time Xie Jingyan saw Jiang Ning, he still couldn't help but fall in love with her.

So, he felt sorry for her.

Xie Jingyan parked the car on the side of the road.

Jiang Ning looked at him puzzledly: "Why don't you leave?"

Xie Jingyan stared straight ahead, the light from the street lamp shining on half of his face. He said, "Jiang Ning, you are not alone. You have family and friends here. They are all waiting for you."

Jiang Ning's body stiffened slightly, shocked by Xie Jingyan's last words.

They are all...waiting for her...

But why… “Aren’t you curious about your parents’ situation? Aren’t you curious about Jiang Yan and Jiang Li? Aren’t you curious about what happened in the past ten years? Don’t you have any thoughts at all? Our… our past, does it still count?” Xie Jingyan said the last word and turned to look at Jiang Ning.

His dark eyes were stubborn, waiting for an answer.

Jiang Ning's lips moved, and his eyes looked at Xie Jingyan's eyebrows.

The once young boy has grown up, but his features don't seem to have changed much, and he still looks at people with tenderness and love.

Jiang Ning seemed to be scalded. She turned her head away and didn't look into Xie Jingyan's eyes.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I spent ten months in another world, and ten years have passed here in your world. Xie Jingyan, ten years is too long. Family, friendship, or even love, these things have long been unclear."

After Jiang Ning finished speaking, the carriage fell silent.

It was so quiet that only the breathing of the two people could be heard.

After a long moment, Xie Jingyan chuckled softly, his laughter filled with bitterness and mockery: "How can I not explain it clearly? I've waited for ten years. Even if it's twenty, or thirty, as long as I can still breathe, I will still wait. Blame me for reading so much that I've become stupid. I'm stubborn and single-minded. Once I make a decision, it's for my whole life."

He reached out to hold Jiang Ning's hand, his tone solemn and serious: "Xie Jingyan, will never change."

Jiang Ning lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling, and tears fell one by one, hitting her cotton coat.

Xie Jingyan held Jiang Ning's face in his hands, saw her red eyes, and bit her lip to hold back her tears.

He gently stroked her with his fingers and wiped the tears from her cheeks: "Look at me seriously, I'm not young anymore. I don't want to spend the remaining ten years waiting for you, Jiang Ning, let's be together."

Xie Jingyan's expression was no longer cold, but became gentle, and his deep peach blossom eyes were filled with strong love.

At this moment, Jiang Ning felt it.

That boy of hers has always been there.

Jiang Ning blinked and asked, "Are you in love?"

Xie Jingyan chuckled when he heard this: "It's fine if you want to get married."

Jiang Ning quickly shook off his hand, rubbed her burning face, and said stubbornly, "Don't think I'll marry you just because you treat me to a bowl of beef noodles. As for love, it depends on how you act. I'm a very difficult person to deal with."

She stuttered a little as she spoke.

Jiang Ning wanted to bite off his tongue.

You're such a deadbeat! It's just that someone confessed their love to you, why are you stuttering?

Jiang Ning's face turned even redder.

Xie Jingyan smiled and replied, "I understand. I will try my best."

"Drive quickly, I want to go back to sleep."

The car restarted.

Jiang Ning's mind is still a little confused.

She thought Xie Jingyan was going to continue to look as dead as he did, but she didn't expect the confession to be so sudden.

So after getting off the car, Jiang Ning ran as if there was a monster chasing her.

Xie Jingyan sat in the car and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Jiang Ning fleeing.

Well, still as cute as before.

After Jiang Ning completely disappeared, Xiao Mi appeared.

It said in a firm tone: "That's more like it. Taking the initiative is what makes things happen. Don't worry, I'll definitely persuade her to actively complete the mission next time."

Xie Jingyan glanced at it and said calmly, "No need."

Xiaomi was anxious: [No! This mission must be done.]

Xie Jingyan drove away: "I mean, I'll do this task."

Xiaomi: [Huh?!]

It's getting sweet!
