Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance-Chapter 1038 - 729: Where Help Is Just Extra_2

Qianqian was doing miscellaneous chores or tidying up. Or perhaps fussing with the cushions, it was quite peaceful.

Everything was neat and pleasing to the eye.

Jiang Nian finished his tasks too, without making a sound. He leaned against the dining table, quietly watching Qianqian.

"It might rain tomorrow."

"Oh." Qianqian looked up and thought for a moment, "Just take the bus, it shouldn't be far."

"I'll drive," he said.

Upon hearing this, Qianqian's brow furrowed with a hint of worry, "But after all, it's someone else's car."

Jiang Nian thought for a moment and nodded.

"True."

He was not a proud person, often listened to Qianqian, "Then we'll ride bikes."

As soon as she heard about biking, Qianqian blushed slightly. She had been kneeling on the sofa and now sat upright.

"Don't take advantage of me."

"I'll try not to." Jiang Nian was a bit embarrassed, adding, "Even if I can't help it, it's not entirely my fault."

Qianqian: "..."

She was a bit conflicted, hoping it wouldn't rain tomorrow. But on second thought, it didn't seem to matter much.

As she pondered, time passed.

She didn't even know when Jiang Nian left. Groggily, she finished her shower and lay on the bed.

The room was shrouded in darkness, Qianqian stared at the pitch-black ceiling.

"Sigh."

...

The next day.

The rain poured heavily outside. Jiang Nian pulled the curtains aside to take a look, instinctively resisting.

"Weather like this should be spent sleeping at home."

However, his day's schedule was full. Trying to cancel now would be too late.

At the tea house, a car drove through the rain into the courtyard.

A woman waiting by the door glanced at the license plate. She quickly grabbed an umbrella and ran after the car.

Bam!!

Jiang Nian stepped out of the car, an umbrella appeared over his head. Turning around, he saw it was the familiar female tea artist.

In April, she wore a jade white cheongsam. Her figure was proportionate, she smiled at Jiang Nian.

"The rain is so heavy."

"Yes." Jiang Nian nodded.

She continued, "The boss asked me to wait at the entrance, just started working shortly before you arrived."

"Delivering goods, have to get up early, right?" Jiang Nian chuckled, moving towards the trunk.

The female tea artist chuckled too, perhaps finding it amusing.

"It's different."

Had it truly been a delivery, she wouldn't have chased with an umbrella. But once said, it still felt meaningful.

"Where's your boss?"

"No idea, probably inside the tea house."

Rain fell soundly on the umbrella, making a thumping noise before scattering around.

Jiang Nian carried the box inside, filled with medicinal herbs. [Purchase] One-click transaction, it wasn't too difficult.

He had only saved up a bit lately, but it was a no-investment deal, and the Xu Family was willing to take them.

No need to be shy, take what should be taken.

Upstairs.

Xu Shuang stood on the second floor, watching the black umbrella. Slowly it moved, and ultimately disappeared downstairs.

She arrived early but didn't go down. Once spoken, words are hard to take back, so could only smooth things over a bit.

The transaction was simple, took one look and accepted the goods.

Xu Shuang took the items away, told him to wait a moment. After a while, the money was transferred to the card.

Jiang Nian was delighted, thinking that living on soft gains was still preferred.

"Eek!"

Suddenly, Xu Shuang came out.

"Did you receive the money?"

"Cough cough." Jiang Nian held composed, replied seriously, "Haven't checked yet, should be there."

Xu Shuang found it amusing, "Better take a look."

"It's there."

Though his skin was thick, he felt a bit heated at this moment, "If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."

Xu Shuang was surprised, "Are you very busy today?"

"No."

"Then have some tea." Her smile was sincere, not just polite words, "Shelter from the rain."

Jiang Nian had driven here, naturally not worried about rain. But he couldn't reject her hospitality, thought for a bit and sat down.

"Where's your brother?"

"Sleeping at home." Xu Shuang sat down and made small talk, while the tea artist came over to brew tea.

After a while, the female tea artist left.

Jiang Nian glanced back, Xu Shuang caught his gaze without making a fuss, watching him.

"Is she pretty?"

"Pretty decent, the tea house has high standards," Jiang Nian casually complimented, sipping his tea.

Xu Shuang acknowledged, her enthusiasm seemed lacking. Jiang Nian didn't understand, assuming he said something wrong.

However, the tea artist indeed was quite attractive.

After observing, she seemed to be the tallest in the building, though unfortunately not well-endowed, not of interest.

The aesthetic part.

If posted on Xiao Hong Shu, the bag would be criticized into a sieve.

Suddenly, Xu Shuang asked, "Would you also carry her?"

Jiang Nian: "Huh?"

.....

Nine o'clock.

Jiang Nian went home to change clothes, parked the car at Boya Square, intending not to drive for a while.

Got caught in the rain along the way, jacket got wet.

Xu Shuang's words still puzzled him. But it wasn't important anymore, likely just a slip of the tongue.

When distracted, people often do so.

However, speaking of carrying..... his relationship with Xu Shuang seemed to have grown closer during the mountain trip.

To make haste, Xu Shuang spent most of her time on his back. Perhaps, it facilitated their relationship.

Hmm... hard to say.

Jiang Nian put on a raincoat, clearing his mind of scattered thoughts. He went next door, urging them to get moving.

"Got it."

"Coming."

The two women were mostly ready, wearing jackets, unaffected by rain in their enthusiasm to forage.

"Just one raincoat?" Qianqian, sharp-eyed, "How about I ride with Xiyun?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian chuckled.

"What about me?"

Qianqian felt a bit embarrassed, blushing said, "Walking's good for exercise, benefits study too."

"Ha." Jiang Nian rejected.

Song Xiyun didn't mind, even sitting in the middle would be fine. Her mind was elsewhere, still engrossed in the game.

Once distracted, she'd fall into daydreaming.

The plan remained unchanged, the three would still ride. On rainy days, roads were slippery, Jiang Nian became more cautious.

At least, sudden braking was out of the question.

Backseat, Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. But the raincoat wasn't large, being sandwiched in the middle was uncomfortable.

With slight movements forward, she'd be pressed against Jiang Nian. Gradually, a pressure was felt at her chest.

"Move forward a bit!"

"Riding a bike, how to move forward?" Jiang Nian replied irritably, "It's raining, just deal with it."

Qianqian: "...."

There's not much space behind Song Xiyun, she simply embraced Qianqian's waist, squeezing forward a bit.

"Feels like I'm slipping down."

Upon hearing, Qianqian could only move forward a bit more. Thought for a moment, then embraced Jiang Nian's waist too.

After all, it wasn't the first time.

Meanwhile.

In Jingfu District, Li Lanying got up early. She had to return to her hometown for ancestor worship today, couldn't be absent without reason.

After washing up, she let out a yawn.

"Such a hassle."

In the mirror, Li Lanying wore only a thin strapped dress. The silky fabric failed to contain Bai You.

"Ha~~"

She walked out of the bathroom, so tired tears came out. A breeze from the balcony gave her a chill instantly.

"So cold... Qingqing?"

Li Lanying froze, looking at Li Qingrong standing on the balcony.

"Aren't you guys off today?"

"Yes."

"Why up so early during break?" She rubbed her face, "Go back to sleep, a nap is nice too."

Having said that, there was no response from the balcony. Li Qingrong remained there, watching the drifting rain outside.

Li Lanying sensed something amiss, turned to look at her.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing."

"But you've been sulking these past days?" Li Lanying found a jacket, put it on, and walked over.

Standing beside Li Qingrong, she suddenly laughed.

"Had a fight?"

Li Qingrong fell silent, after a while responded with an 'um,' then seemed to recall something, shook her head.

"Not exactly."

"Oh, then it must be a disagreement." Li Lanying said, "Anything sister can help with?"

In response, Li Qingrong finally turned to speak.

"Going out."
