The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Heartbeat Like a Drumming

Yang Jiashu looked completely clueless.

Lu Qingyan couldn’t bear to watch.

He glanced sideways at Jiang Nanshu, "Your fourth brother might have returned to the villa already; I’ll take you back, okay?"

"Jiashu, call your driver to pick you up; we’re not going the same way."

Yang Jiashu: "..."

Fair-weather friend!

"Got it. Make sure you and Sister Nanshu stay safe on the road."

Once he finished speaking, he began making the call.

Lu Qingyan went to bring the car around.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, he tilted his chin up toward Jiang Nanshu, "Get in."

Jiang Nanshu sat in the passenger seat, her mind preoccupied with tomorrow’s visit to her foster mother’s house.

[Should I invite Lu Qingyan along? It could be a good opportunity to develop our relationship.]

[What if he doesn’t want to go? No matter, I’ll just ask and see.]

She cleared her throat softly, her voice saccharine, "Ah Yan."

Lu Qingyan’s eyebrows lifted slightly; the corners of his mouth curved into a smile as he focused on driving, his eyes, however, twinkled, "What’s up, Nannan?"

"Tomorrow, I want to visit my foster mother. I want to cut ties with that bunch of paupers once and for all, so they stop bothering me. Would you be willing to come with me?" As she mentioned her foster mother, Jiang Nanshu wrinkled her nose in disgust.

[She has leukemia and only treatment can save her life. It’s just a matter of money, right? Once I throw a few million at them as severance, they can afford her treatment.]

Lu Qingyan replied lightly, "Yeah, sure."

He showed no sign of discontent regarding Jiang Nanshu’s comments.

His voice was gentle, "You really have changed quite a bit."

Jiang Nanshu: "?"

[Have I not become vicious enough?]

"In the past, your money only ever got swindled, now you’re thinking of financially assisting your foster parents. Quite filial of you," he commented nonchalantly.

Jiang Nanshu: "..."

[Brother, I just called them paupers and you’re still praising my filial piety. Obviously, you must like me. Love is blind; this is awesome.]

"Thanks for the compliment."

"As it should be."

"..."

Lu Qingyan continued, "I’ll take you there tomorrow."

The car stopped in front of the white estate’s entrance.

Jiang Nanshu got out.

Lu Qingyan closed the car door and walked her to the entrance, "Go on in. I’ll go check on Xiao Xu."

Jiang Nanshu nodded.

Her gaze fixed on his stunningly handsome face, with sparkling eyes, she said, "Bow your head; I have something to tell you."

Lu Qingyan bowed his head, and Jiang Nanshu, standing on her toes, quickly kissed his thin lips.

Before Lu Qingyan could react, she ran inside, waving with a radiant smile, "Ah Yan, see you tomorrow."

Only after her cheerful figure had vanished,

did it hit him like a bolt from the blue that Jiang Nanshu might actually like him as well.

His heartbeat thundered like a drum.

Under the night sky, the red tips of his ears stood out vividly.

He took a deep breath and started walking toward the neighboring villa.

Halfway there, he turned back; he had forgotten his car.

However hard he tried, his lips curved up-ward involuntarily.

Not until Shang Xu looked at him with curious grape-like eyes, "Uncle, what are you smiling about?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyan reverted back to his aloof demeanor in a second.
