28: Chapter 28 You're bringing a woman home?

"Did you stay up late?"

Before opening the door, Jiang Ning, who had been feeling hesitant and uneasy, was slightly stunned when she heard Jiang Che's words.

"Hmm?"

"Did you sleep your brain away? I said, did you stay up late? You've got such huge dark circles under your eyes." Jiang Che repeated himself while placing the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

Guilty as she felt, Jiang Ning still retorted softly, annoyed by his comment about her dark circles and how she looked: "No, I didn't."

"Hurry up and eat breakfast. I've been waiting for you until I'm hungry."

Jiang Ning watched his figure, hesitated slightly, then walked over to the dining table.

After they sat down facing each other, Jiang Ning picked up her chopsticks but didn't move, instead sneaking a few glances at Jiang Che.

"What? Is there something written on my face?" Noticing that the girl was acting a bit strange, Jiang Che couldn't help but ask.

Seeing that he didn't mention anything, Jiang Ning immediately shook her head and buried her head in her food.

"Last night, was it An Ran and Luo Yao who brought me back with you?" Jiang Che asked suddenly, halfway through his meal.

As soon as he said this, Jiang Ning immediately widened her eyes, staring straight at him.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Che thought his sister was acting a bit strange.

"Nothing..." Jiang Ning shook her head, then replied vaguely: "Yes... we all brought you back together."

Well, dropping him off outside the residential complex counted as bringing him back together.

"Looks like I really drank too much last night. My head still hurts a bit this morning. I do remember there were quite a few people when I was brought back, they kept talking, and someone gave me honey water."

As soon as the words 'honey water' came out, the chopsticks in Jiang Ning's hand nearly dropped. After steadying her nerves, she looked into her brother's eyes intentionally or unintentionally: "You... you don't remember?"

Jiang Che took a sip of milk, "I remember. You guys brought me back, seemed to be talking to me, and then I drank honey water."

As he spoke, he frowned, "Who gave me the honey water? I seem to have some impression, but... I can't remember clearly. An Ran? Or Luo Yao?"

After asking, Jiang Che saw his sister staring at him with wide, unblinking eyes, looking very strange.

"What? It wasn't Yang Fei who fed it to me, was it? That would be a bit nauseating..."

"Of course not." Jiang Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "He left right after leaving the restaurant."

Jiang Che nodded, then suddenly his gaze sharpened, looking intensely at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning thought he had suddenly remembered what happened last night and panicked.

"Wh-what?"

"Who took off my clothes? An Ran or Luo Yao?"

Jiang Ning hesitated, her face flushing with a hint of red. After two seconds, she retorted angrily: "Who else could it be but me? Who do you want of the two of them to take it off for you?"

Hearing this, Jiang Che breathed a slight sigh of relief, "That's good then."

"What do you mean 'that's good'? I..." Jiang Ning stopped halfway, feeling she had gotten a bit too excited, and immediately lowered her voice, "They are just your colleagues. You really wanted them to take your clothes off?"

"How is that possible? Your brother here is still a pure, innocent man. If they saw my body, I'd definitely have to make them take responsibility, right?"

"If they saw... you have to take responsibility?"

"Otherwise?" Jiang Che picked up the milk, finished the last two sips, and then looked at Jiang Ning: "Clean up the bowls and chopsticks."

"Oh." Jiang Ning responded faintly. However, just as Jiang Che got up to return to his room, she couldn't help but ask another question:

"Sister An Ran... she seems to know the location of this place?"

Jiang Che was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "She's been here once."

Seeing him admit it so frankly, Jiang Ning couldn't help but be even more curious: "What did she come here for?"

"One time I accidentally brought her USB drive home, and it just so happened that there was project data that needed to be reported the next day. As compensation, I worked overtime with her at home, and incidentally treated her to a late-night snack."

"And then?"

"And then?"

"Yeah, after eating the late-night snack... then what?"

Jiang Che immediately understood what Jiang Ning meant, so he walked up to her, hooked his finger mysteriously, and gestured for her to come closer.

Jiang Ning hesitated a bit, but her curiosity about this matter made her lean in. The next second...

"Ouch! Why are you knocking me!" Jiang Ning raised her hand to cover her forehead, pouting angrily.

"That's for letting your little head run wild with random thoughts. I said it was because of work. After the late-night snack, naturally, I took her home. What else did you think happened?"

Jiang Ning was slightly unconvinced, rubbing her head and huffing: "I'm not a boy, how would I know what you're going to do?"

"Little gossip, you'll know once you start dating in the future." Jiang Che said irritably, and after finishing, returned to his room.

Watching his back, Jiang Ning pouted and murmured softly: "Hmph, why in the future?"

After saying that, Jiang Ning's gaze unconsciously drifted to the sofa nearby, and immediately after, the scene of her feeding him honey water last night appeared in her mind again.

Thinking about it, Jiang Ning's face began to flush red.

The bad news: he suddenly woke up last night and even saw her... kissing him.

The good news: after waking up this morning, he forgot it again.

Jiang Ning felt a bit relieved, but as she thought about it, she seemed to feel a bit... disappointed, because, if you swapped these two pieces of good and bad news, it would also seem to make sense?

Jiang Ning shook her head, dispelling the wild thoughts in her mind. At the very least, she was still safe in front of Jiang Che right now.

The only thing that worried her a little was that the two older sisters named An Ran and Luo Yao were very pretty.

What worried her even more was that, according to what they said last night, there were many pretty older sisters at her brother's company, and her brother was very popular.

Thinking about it, Jiang Ning frowned slightly. She was only a freshman in college, and there were so many flashy girls out there, some of whom were seductive vixens. She didn't know if he could resist the temptation...

When Jiang Che came out of his room again and entered the living room, he saw his sister looking at him with a bitter, deep hatred. That look... Jiang Che had seen it on TV before; it was the same look a woman gives a scumbag husband after he abandons his wife and children.

"Are you sick? Why are you glaring at me?" Jiang Che said irritably.

Coming back to her senses, Jiang Ning realized she had almost given herself away, so she said softly: "I'm full."

"If you're full, clean up the bowls and chopsticks. Then, either stay home obediently or go back to school yourself."

Seeing Jiang Che putting on his shoes while talking, clearly preparing to go out, Jiang Ning quickly spoke up: "Where are you going?"

"Going to pick up a beauty." Jiang Che said casually.

Hearing this, Jiang Ning's brows furrowed.

"Pick up... a woman? You're bringing a woman home?"
