136: Chapter 136 Bro, a lot of girls in your company like you?

"There's some dust on the steering wheel."

Jiang Che, who cursed inwardly that his worst fears had come true, put on a calm expression and spoke slowly.

Jiang Ning looked at him with some suspicion, then looked at An Ran, whose expression was slightly unnatural.

Although suspicious, the Stinky Girl, who hadn't seen very clearly through the car window just moments ago, wasn't quite sure if what she had thought was really the case.

"Thank you for bringing my brother back."

Jiang Ning bowed slightly and said it politely. However... she didn't call her 'Sister An Ran', and it seemed that to avoid being too obvious, she didn't even say the name An Ran.

"It's nothing, we're colleagues, it was on the way," An Ran said softly. She found it strange; the way the girl had looked at them earlier was odd, especially when looking at her.

It didn't look like she was looking at her brother's friend, and it didn't quite look like she was looking at her brother's lover either; it was more like she was looking at a romantic rival.

However, given the current situation, there was no time to think about it in detail. An Ran looked at Jiang Che: "Well, you should go back in. Have a nice weekend."

Jiang Che gave a hum of acknowledgment. Just as he opened the door, he heard Jiang Ning outside suddenly say: "Do you want to come in and sit for a while?"

Jiang Che: "?"

An Ran: "Huh?"

Both of them were taken aback, especially Jiang Che. This girl... she couldn't be plotting something, could she?

Having grown up with him, Jiang Ning clearly understood the meaning in Jiang Che's eyes and immediately rolled her eyes at him, the subtext seeming to say: "What are you looking at me for? Do I look like a bad person?"

An Ran thought about politely declining, but then Jiang Ning smiled and said to Jiang Che: "A colleague brought you home, shouldn't you be polite and invite her in to sit? Besides, I just bought some fresh fruit."

What the girl said... actually made some sense.

Jiang Che looked at An Ran, "Want to come up and sit for a bit?"

An invitation from her future sister-in-law... The thought suddenly popped into An Ran's mind. She had already asked twice; if she refused again, it would seem like she was deliberately avoiding her. Thinking of this, An Ran nodded gently.

After getting out of the car, the three of them walked toward the residential complex together. The Stinky Girl walked in front, with Jiang Che and An Ran following behind, and An Ran intentionally kept a two-step distance.

After entering the elevator, the three of them didn't speak the whole way. In the quiet atmosphere, there seemed to be a subtle undercurrent hidden.

Soon, after arriving home, Jiang Ning enthusiastically got a pair of slippers for An Ran. Such a proactive gesture made An Ran feel a bit uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but glance at Jiang Che.

An Ran thought it was strange, and Jiang Che even more so.

It was impossible for the Stinky Girl not to be jealous upon seeing him with another woman, so acting like this now definitely confirmed the saying: when something is abnormal, there must be a demon at work.

"Annoying, why do you keep staring at me? Take Sister An Ran to the sofa to rest, I'm going to pour some water~" Jiang Ning said with a sweet smile, finally calling her 'Sister An Ran'. However, this made Jiang Che feel a bit creeped out.

"Sister An Ran, here, have some water."

Soon, Jiang Ning brought two glasses of water to the sofa, handed one to each of them, and then sat down naturally next to An Ran, almost pressed against her.

"Thank you."

"Sister An Ran, don't be so polite, just treat this place like your own home." Jiang Ning looked innocent, which made Jiang Che's forehead fill with black lines. He really wanted to shout: "Whatever dirty thing is possessing my sister, get off her right now!"

An Ran had already sensed a touch of unnaturalness, and this feeling was precisely because her enthusiasm felt somewhat abrupt.

She had met Jiang Ning twice in total: the first time was when she specifically asked Jiang Che to bring his sister to dinner, and the second time was when she stayed over and was caught by Jiang Ning.

The first two times, Jiang Che's sister had been polite. This time, she was enthusiastic, and very enthusiastic at that.

There was no transition in between, which was where the weirdness lay.

"Oh no, Brother, I forgot to wash the fruit." The Stinky Girl suddenly spoke, looking at Jiang Che with an innocent face.

Jiang Che, understanding the hint, had just stood up when Jiang Ning added another instruction: "Wash it a couple more times!"

Once he entered the kitchen and the sound of washing fruit was heard, An Ran looked at the very pretty girl beside her, who was acting a bit strange tonight.

"Little Sister Jiang Ning, do you have something you want to tell me?"

Jiang Ning looked into her eyes, hesitated for two seconds, and nodded.

"Sister An Ran, does my brother have... any girls he likes at the company? Or rather, is he dating anyone, do you know?"

An Ran was slightly taken aback, not because of the girl's question, but because when she asked these two sentences, she was staring straight at her face, as if observing her reaction.

Jiang Ning did not shy away with her gaze, even though a trace of suspicion had already flashed across An Ran's face.

"You... don't want your brother to date?" An Ran didn't answer, but instead asked a question in return.

"Not at all," Jiang Ning said with a serious face. "I'm just curious and gossiping, caring about my brother's love life. If he were dating, that would be great too. If he were dating a girlfriend as pretty as you, Sister, that would be even better!"

Jiang Ning's answer left An Ran speechless.

She had originally thought the girl was a bit suspicious and resistant, but who knew she would say something like that?

However, An Ran's woman's intuition still felt a trace of indescribable weirdness after seeing Jiang Ning, so after two seconds of silence, An Ran replied softly: "I don't seem to have heard anything about your brother dating at the company, but..."

An Ran paused, "Your brother is very good, he's a good person, there must be quite a few girls who like him."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning frowned slightly. How was that an answer that felt like no answer at all? So, is he dating or not?

One second she was thinking, the next, Jiang Ning suddenly realized another question and immediately stared straight at An Ran, "Quite a few girls?"

At this moment, Jiang Che happened to return to the living room carrying the freshly washed fruit and also heard Jiang Ning's words.

"Quite a few girls? What quite a few girls?"

An Ran glanced at Jiang Che, giving him a look he couldn't decipher.

And after he looked at the Stinky Girl, his expression froze... How come he just went to the kitchen to wash some fruit, and the Stinky Girl was looking at him with such a strange expression?

"Brother, do many girls at your company... like you?"
