Even if she wasn't with Jiang Jianhan, An Ning would never agree to be with him again. As far as she was concerned, the relationship between the two of them was just like family, and it was hard for An Ning to have any other feelings towards Xu Wang now.

"Alright, I understand."

As he looked through the French window, she wondered if he should leave. Xu Wen had always been aware of her feelings for An Ning, but he was unable to respond to them. This was too unfair for Xu Wang. Perhaps it was because it would give him an opportunity to get to know someone better, and that way, she wouldn't be able to delay him.

Jiang Xianxin came to the Xu family to pick up An Ning. He personally drove her to a restaurant he had just discovered.

This shop was hidden in a very small alley, so small that even cars could not enter, and could only park at the mouth of the alley. Although it was hidden deep, there were still a lot of people who came to eat.

The houses here were very old, and there were good and bad street lamps. There were many places on the road that were dark, so it was hard to see where they were going.

Because she was worried that falling down would hurt her child, An Ning walked very slowly, afraid that she would step on something. However, even though An Ning was being very careful, her feet still slipped and she stepped on a piece of fruit that some unscrupulous person threw on the side of the road.

Ah!

An Ning cried out in alarm, her body tilting to the side as she fell to the ground. She tightly closed her eyes, her hands protecting her lower abdomen. She had already mentally prepared herself to fall to the ground.

However, the expected pain did not come. An Ning fell into a warm and powerful embrace. Jiang Li's cold voice rang out by her ear, stirring up a small stream of air as she threw herself into An Ning's ear.

"It's fine now. Open your eyes, don't be afraid!"

An Ning opened her eyes blankly. The moon in the sky was very round, and bright stars dotted the edges. But even brighter than those were the cold eyes of Jiang Jia. They were like a black whirlpool, intoxicating An Ning.

"Plop!" "Plop!"

Amidst the silence, An Ning heard her own heartbeat. It was as if something had broken through her heart and been reborn.

Someone's kitten passed by the wall and knocked a few rocks off. An Ning suddenly came back to her senses. She quickly stood up and backed away from Jiang Jia Han's embrace.

The street lamp, which she had originally despised, was now An Ning's "shady cloth." An Ning simply had to thank the workers who knew that the street lamp was broken but had been lazy to repair it. If it wasn't for them, she would have long since been seen through by Jiang Qisha's flushed face.

The two of them walked for two steps in silence. Suddenly, a big, warm hand wrapped around AnNing's body. She couldn't help shrinking, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. But, it was all held tightly by Jiang Ying without a doubt.

"Don't move!"

Hearing Jiang Jia Han's words, An Ning's struggling movements suddenly seemed to lose all of their strength, and her red face was tightly grasped by Jiang Jia Han. Although Jiang Jia was usually cold, and his aura was like a big block of ice, but the magical thing was that his hands were very hot and had a comforting power. The cool feeling brought by the night wind was washed away.

When they turned into the alley where the restaurant was located, all the street lamps were already lit up, and the dim yellow light shone down. An Ning felt a little embarrassed, and the two of them tightly clenched their hands, like a hot potato, until An Ning's face was as red as a tomato.

The two quietly walked deeper into the alley, the bamboo plants on both sides of the road were shrouded in darkness, and under the dim yellow light of the street lamp, it seemed as if there was faint green smoke floating on the leaves, like a layer of gauze drifting with the wind, or like a blue wave rippling with the smoke.

An Ning felt as if something in her heart had suddenly changed that night.

At the entrance of a rather unremarkable yard, Jiang Jia suddenly stopped and pushed open the door. What made people's eyes brighten up was that the yard inside the yard was actually quite special.

It seemed like the two courtyards were connected. The interior was very large, with a clear pool of water embedded in the middle of the courtyard. There were layers of buildings beside the pond, making the entire courtyard seem like the residence of a family in Jiangnan.

In the long corridor, behind a door, there was a private room. A waiter wearing a shallow collar jacket and skirt walked over, slightly lowering his head, indicating that the two of them should follow her. Along the way, many conversations could be heard in the private rooms.

An Ning's interest was piqued, but she didn't show it on her face. She didn't know if Jiang Jia had already decided on the menu when they made the appointment. The waiter didn't say anything. After leading the two to their seats, he bent down slightly and left.

Jiang Jia whispered to An Ning as he explained how he had found this place. As he spoke, the door was knocked, several waiters came in, placed the dishes on the table, and left. The whole process was quick and silent.

"This place is not... The restaurant? " Seeing the dishes, An Ning was at a loss. She couldn't help but ask.

With a cold smile, Jiang Jun didn't say anything. He merely signaled An Ning over and over again to taste the fish first. An Ning hesitantly picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

The fragrance of the beans and the taste of the fish spread in her mouth at the same time. An Ning opened her eyes in surprise. Only after tasting the taste did she realize that it was really fasting.

"The taste isn't bad, right? The specialty here is to make all kinds of flavors and shapes out of vegetarian dishes. "

Seeing the look of surprise on An Ning's face, Jiang Xiushan finally opened her mouth and smiled. Being together with An Ning made him feel extremely calm and happy, and she couldn't help but smile.

The two happily finished their meal, and when they left the house, Jiang Jia naturally pulled An Ning's hand again, and it was unknown if it was because she was used to it or if she just ate and had a slow reaction. An Ning was very obediently led by Jiang Jia Han, and the two slowly walked, their figures were elongated under the street lights, and then intimately snuggled together.
