You overestimate yourself
"Really?" Xu Ran excitedly raised his head, and looked at Jian Ning nervously. He did not expect her to really agree.
Jian Ning's action of holding onto the magazine was very forceful, but when she was talking to Xu Can, she was also very gentle, so no one could tell that she was restraining herself.
As for Jian Ning, she felt that she was only a girl that Shang Jin wanted to help. If she wanted to marry Shang Jin, there was still a little impossibility, and this could be seen from how long ago it had been.
Feeling Xu Nan's gaze never left him, Liu Yiwei had a very calm smile on his face. When he looked at Xu Nan, it was as if he was looking at a familiar face.
"Why is Miss Xu free to come today?"
Liu Yiwei looked at Xu Can and confirmed that she did not have any evil intentions, then started to get close to him.
"Jian Ning previously promised to help me out with the design. I came here today to see if she had finished drawing." Her slow smile was very fitting, but her eyes kept looking upstairs, waiting for Jian Ning nervously.
"What is it? Talking to me makes you depressed? " Liu Yiwei was joking around, but it was to take this opportunity to get closer to her.
Many people didn't know Xu Nan's identity, but she knew that Selina was very famous in the fashion industry. If he could get to know her, then in the future, he would definitely be above everyone else in the upper class.
"No, no."
Xu Nan blushed and shook her head. One must know that she really did not dare to speak to such a scheming woman. She was worried that she would be sold, and might even have to thank him.
She really felt awkward, but she didn't want to offend him. Just as she was at a loss as to what to do, Uncle Liu came over with a cup of tea she had prepared.
"Miss Liu, this is Miss Jian Ning's guest." When Uncle Liu saw Xu Nan's red face, he thought Liu Yiwei was bullying her again, so he went forward to help her.
She naturally understood Uncle Liu's thoughts, and disdainfully smiled. "Uncle Liu, I just want to become friends with Miss Xu, I have no ill intentions."
"Yes, yes." Xu Ran also nodded. She didn't look like a tigress at all.
He couldn't believe that after looking at the two of them for a while, he felt that something was wrong, but why did he say it out loud?
"Uncle Liu, Miss Xu and I still have some things to say. You should get busy." There was no doubt in her voice, and she was sure he would understand.
Uncle Liu looked at them a few more times in worry. After confirming that the two were fine, he finally left.
After he left, Liu Yiwei began to talk again, "I heard that Miss Xu's teacher is selina. With such a teacher, the requirements must be very strict."
Xu Nan didn't seem to hear the probing tone in Liu Yiwei's words, she seriously thought back to her teacher's attitude, and thought that Liu Yiwei was alright.
However, there were also times when he would bring up Jian Ning. Not only was his tone filled with regret, it also contained a sense of not being able to meet expectations.
Just as she was thinking about it, the thing that Jian Ning was holding onto walked down from above. Seeing Liu Yiwei sitting at the same place as her a moment ago, she was slightly displeased.
Naturally, Liu Yiwei had also realized that Jian Ning was coming over, but she didn't hurry up. Instead, she looked at her provokingly.
"Liu Yiwei, we still have some matters to take care of. If there's nothing else, I hope that you can leave now." Towards this woman, Jian Ning was not courteous at all.
"I just saw that no one called out to this little friend, so I came here to take a look. Why are you here? It's as if I want to eat someone." She taunted him bluntly.
This time, Jian Ning tactfully ignored him. After all, there were no outsiders here, so she didn't need to fight Tai Ji with her.
Seeing that she was silent, Liu Yiwei did not continue with his solo performance. He patted his clothes and stood up: Alright, I will leave first.
When she arrived in front of Jian Ning, she stopped and looked meaningfully at Xu Nan, before slowly approaching her ear.
"Such a good resource. It's such a pity that I gave it to you."
"What about you? Do you think you're worthy?" Jian Ning taunted her back, not allowing her in the slightest.
Even if it was a pity, it was better than handing it over to someone who didn't know anything.
"I'd like to see how long you can be proud of yourself." She smiled and forcefully turned the hand that was placed on Jian Ning's waist, and very successfully, saw that Jian Ning's face had turned pale.
The two of them had always watched their little interactions, and now, they believed even more that Jian Ning had always been a vulnerable group.
The two of them stayed in a deadlock for a long time before they were willing to let go. As if nothing had happened to Jian Ning, she tossed the drawing paper over to Xu Nan, then laid back on the sofa.
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward. Xu Ran stole a glance before lowering his head to look at the item in his hand.
After watching for a long time, Xu Nan's mouth was dry. Only then did he raise his head.
Seeing that Jian Ning had already fallen asleep, she looked at him again with a serious expression.
Compared to before, she seemed to have become more haggard, and couldn't help but think back to her confrontation with Liu Yiwei, as if she had understood Jian Ning's situation.
Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Xu Ran was wondering if he should wake her up when he saw that Uncle Liu had already walked over.
Seeing that Jian Ning had fallen asleep on the sofa and matched up with Xu Nan, Uncle Liu could not help but grumble: "Miss Xu, Jian Ning is not in a good condition right now, you shouldn't have come looking for her so early."
"... Is it early? " Xu Ran thought back to the time he came in the morning. It didn't seem to be early.
However, in Uncle Liu's eyes, it was considered early for anyone who disturbed Jian Ning's rest.
Facing Uncle Liu's confident expression, Xu Nan began to have some doubts, but she still apologized to Uncle Liu.
When Uncle Liu came over, Jian Ning was already half awake, but she was a bit tired and didn't want to move.
She opened her hazy eyes and saw that Xu Nan was already feeling very embarrassed, so she said: "Alright Uncle Liu, I accidentally fell asleep myself. It has nothing to do with Xu Nan."
"If you want to sleep, you should at least go back to your room and get someone to bring a blanket over. If the air conditioning is on and you catch a cold, you'll definitely feel better." He could not help but nag at the thought that she would be sick again.
"That Uncle Liu, can we eat now? I'm hungry."
