You're so thick-skinned

Shang Jin saw that she had closed her eyes and felt a burst of irritation in his heart. He scratched his head, as though he had already vaguely come up with an answer, but he just didn't dare to think about it.

Seeing his conflicted face, Jian Ning just mocked him for a bit before he closed his eyes and stopped looking.

She looked at Liu Yiwei meaningfully for a moment, looked at him with disdain, and then left.

Looking at her back figure, Liu Yiwei squinted his eyes and deeply hid the killing intent in them.

"If you want to see when I'll show my tail, then let's see when you're chased out first."

Arriving at the living room, Jian Ning saw that Uncle Liu was walking around with a worried expression. Jian Ning couldn't help but go over and pull him back and ask: "Uncle Liu, why are you in such a hurry, what's going on?"

Hearing Jian Ning's voice, Uncle Liu immediately turned around and pulled her to look at her from head to toe. Only then did he feel at ease.

"Lin Hai called to say that you didn't pick up the phone. In the end, his phone even went off. I thought something happened to you, but it scared me to death." He could not help but complain.

Lin Hai was really scared when he said that. But luckily, she came back safely.

"Uncle Liu, don't worry. Even if something happens to you, she'll still be alive." When Liu Yiwei came in and heard that Uncle Liu was so concerned about her, he couldn't help but say some sour words.

Upon hearing Liu Yiwei's voice, Uncle Liu was extremely unhappy in his heart. He rolled his eyes at her, then said: "Miss Liu, you and Jian Ning are both guests of the Shang clan, why can't you be friendlier to others?"

Hearing Uncle Liu's reprimand, Liu Yiwei's face immediately turned cold, and mocked: "Uncle Liu, have you ever treated me as a guest of this merchant before, can you be a bit more fair?"

"I have always been fair. As for my mentality, I will have to forgive that." He was already in a bad mood, upon hearing Liu Yiwei's words, Uncle Liu immediately retorted.

Seeing Uncle Liu like this, Jian Ning silently praised him in his heart, Uncle Liu was really handsome like this.

Jian Ning looked at Uncle Liu complacently, then said: "Uncle Liu, calm down, it's not early, you should go rest first."

Uncle Liu looked at Jian Ning, and then looked at Liu Yiwei with great displeasure: "Then you should go rest early. Your hands are still not completely recovered yet, don't tire yourself out."

Only after Uncle Liu had left did Jian Ning say: "Look, there are people here who are still after me."

She naturally didn't need to say this, Liu Yiwei looked down on these people from the bottom of his heart, and these people could naturally feel it, so they naturally wouldn't get close to Liu Yiwei.

"Jian Ning, don't be happy too early." Liu Yiwei said bitterly.

Anyway, Shang Jin was already leaning on his side. When the time was right, Jian Ning would naturally not exist.

It was unknown what she thought of before her gloomy face broke into a smile.

In around a week's time, Jian Ning would visit Wen Lengyun in the sanatorium every day, and then talk to him about Wen Lengyun's current Qin Guang.

This weekend, Song Xi happened to be resting and had nothing to do, so he pulled Jian Ning to the market to prepare a week's worth of food.

"What are you buying so many dishes for?"

Seeing her bring up so much, Jian Ning couldn't help but to ask curiously.

"Tonight, I want to treat Zhang Xianzhe to a meal, so of course I need to prepare a little more." She answered nonchalantly.

"Treat Zhang Xianzhe to a meal?" Jian Ning curiously asked, looking at Song Xi with suspicion. When did the two of them hook up?

Of course, her measuring gaze was completely ignored by Song Xi. If she knew that inviting Zhang Xianzhe to dinner was only to reduce the distance between the two of them, she would definitely beat her to death.

Since she didn't say anything, Jian Ning wouldn't ask, and only quietly followed her in picking the dishes.

"I feel like if this goes on, maybe I can resign and start a restaurant." She looked at the dishes she bought and joked.

Listening to her words, Jian Ning tried his best to imagine what it was like, and regretfully shook his head: "I really didn't see that you had that kind of potential."

However, she still said very seriously: "My mom once said that if you want to catch a man, the first thing you need to do is to grab a man's stomach. Why don't you try it?"

Grab a man's stomach? Jian Ning uneasily imagined himself grabbing onto Shang Jin's stomach.

"Jian Ning, the meal today was a bit too tough, let's start again."

"This soup is a bit salty, let's make it again."

"Is this dish eaten by humans?"

Just by imagining it, Jian Ning felt a burst of horror, and couldn't help but shiver.

"What's wrong?" Song Xi asked curiously when he saw that there was something wrong with her.

Jian Ning shook her head hard. She would not tell Song Xi that she just remembered how she would look like when she was enslaved in the future.

However...

If he really wanted to grab onto Shang Jin's stomach, even if he had to ask her to cook for his entire life, it would feel pretty good.

Song Xi clearly felt that something was wrong with Jian Ning, but seeing that she was unwilling to say anything, he didn't think it was appropriate to say anything.

When he returned to his residence, Song Xi laid down without any care for his image anymore. "I don't want to cook anymore in the future, this really isn't something a human should do."

"It can't be. I think it's pretty good this way." Jian Ning shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he felt it to be pretty good.

Seeing her so pleased with herself, Song Xi could not help but retort, "You only carried a bag of salt, this feeling is good enough."

When she thought about how Jian Ning had only brought out a bag of salt, she felt extremely unbalanced, but she started to worry.

"Jian Ning, did the doctor say anything? When will your hand heal?" She sat up, looking at Jian Ning's hands as she asked with deep concern.

Once he got hold of it, Jian Ning subconsciously shook his head in disappointment, "I don't know either, but compared to before, it's indeed much better."

Seeing that she had agreed on it, Song Xi was still a little worried, and spoke sincerely and earnestly: "I already said that you have suffered severe injuries for a hundred days, you should be careful."
