Chapter 429: Chapter 429

"Yeah, yeah. Uncle, you remember me, that’s great."

"I remember, I remember." Mu Siwu said as he noticed Nangong Chen carrying something in his hand and asked, "What’s this?"

"Uncle, I’m here to thank Jiang Xue. Look..." Follow current novels on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵

Nangong Chen was smart, leaving the decision to Mu Siwu directly.

"Come in!" Mu Siwu spoke up, and Father Jiang couldn’t say much more, so he made way for Nangong Chen to enter.

Nangong Chen, feeling pleased as he entered the house, thanked Mu Siwu while apologizing to Father Jiang, "Uncle, I’m sorry, if this makes you uncomfortable, I’ll explain it to Jiang Xue later."

Jiang Xue, although in the kitchen, heard the commotion in the living room. So she came out directly and saw that Nangong Chen had already come in, so she couldn’t exactly ask him to leave.

However, she didn’t give Nangong Chen a friendly look. If she had known her initial kindness would bring her trouble, she wouldn’t have paid attention at all, and should have just turned and walked away.

But now, regretting was useless.

Jiang Xue didn’t even greet Nangong Chen, she turned and went back to the kitchen.

Mu Siwu looked a bit embarrassed and awkwardly explained to Nangong Chen, "Xue’er is quite busy, Mr. Nangong, please don’t mind."

"I don’t mind!" Nangong Chen shook his head with a smile and then placed the items he was carrying aside, sitting down on the sofa to chat with Mu Siwu.

During the conversation, he learned that Father Jiang was actually Jiang Xue’s parent, and Mu Siwu was her father-in-law. Upon learning this, Nangong Chen felt a pang of discomfort.

But it was just for a moment, and he quickly brushed it off. However, thinking about Jiang Xue being married left him feeling uneasy.

Therefore, he didn’t stay long before getting up to leave.

Father Jiang and Mu Siwu didn’t try to keep him longer, only told him to visit again sometime and then saw him out.

After leaving Jiang Xue’s home, Nangong Chen didn’t leave immediately. He leaned against a wall to smoke. Only after finishing a cigarette did he finally leave.

Jiang Xue came out again after hearing that Nangong Chen had left and said to Mu Siwu, "Dad, in the future if Nangong Chen comes again, don’t let him in, just send him away."

"What happened? Did something happen?" Mu Siwu looked at Jiang Xue with confusion. Except for the peculiar look in Nangong Chen’s eyes when he looked at Jiang Xue, everything else seemed fine. From what he could tell, Nangong Chen appeared to be a well-mannered young man.

"Dad, yesterday afternoon on my way home, his people stopped me and wouldn’t let me go home." Jiang Xue explained what happened yesterday afternoon, causing Mu Siwu’s face to change instantly, and he couldn’t help feeling a bit regretful for allowing Nangong Chen inside.

"What should we do now?" Mu Siwu glanced at the items Nangong Chen left behind and asked. Since Nangong Chen acted so inappropriately, it would be best to have less contact in the future.

"Just leave them for now." Jiang Xue wanted to return the items but she didn’t even know where Nangong Chen lived.

"Alright, we’ll do as you say." Mu Siwu didn’t bring up Nangong Chen again, and Jiang Xue said nothing more, heading back to the kitchen to continue her chores.

After busying herself for almost a whole day, she finally got everything done. The food needed for New Year’s was prepared and the necessary shopping was done, only leaving the cleaning to do.

Jiang Xue took three days to clean three houses before finishing. After the cleaning was done, it was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year.

With everything almost settled, on the twenty-ninth, Jiang Xue took a rest, staying at home and going nowhere.
