127: Chapter 127 You are a girl, you should know how to respect yourself!

Jiang Nan froze for a moment, then immediately realized, her pretty face instantly flushing red.

She shyly and angrily pounded Zhao Yang's shoulder: "Zhao Yang! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhao Yang laughed and dodged, but reached out to wrap his arm around her waist: "What, are you unwilling?"

"In your dreams!" Jiang Nan broke free.

She looked around vigilantly and lowered her voice: "If you do that again, I will be really angry!"

Zhao Yang looked at her shy appearance, and a wave of warmth surged in his heart.

This girl was clearly extremely shy, yet she was still willing to accompany him.

"Alright, alright, I won't joke anymore." Zhao Yang raised his hands in surrender.

"Then what do you suggest? Going to your house now is indeed not appropriate at this hour. For a first formal visit, I can't go empty-handed, right?"

Jiang Nan thought about it and felt it made sense.

She checked the time; it was already nine o'clock.

"Then... where are you going tonight?" After asking, Jiang Nan looked at him with her big, blinking eyes.

Zhao Yang looked up at the pitch-black sky and deliberately put on a miserable face: "I'm a lone spirit and wild ghost; I'll just find a place to make do for the night."

Jiang Nan looked at him, a feeling of reluctance surging in her heart, and the foot she had already stepped forward was retracted.

She lowered her head to look at her toes, her voice as small as a mosquito: "Then let's do as before, one sleeps on the bed, one sleeps on the sofa."

I don't know when it started, but this had become the fixed mode for the two of them when spending the night together.

Zhao Yang grinned: "That's so expensive, we'd have to book a suite."

"Zhao Yang, don't push your luck!" Jiang Nan stomped her feet in anger.

"Alright, I'll listen to you." Zhao Yang knew that if he continued to tease her, they would definitely have to separate tonight.

The two found a budget hotel, but unfortunately, the hotel only had one room with a large bed left.

Hearing the receptionist say this, Jiang Nan turned around and left.

They drove to the next one, and it was the same.

Zhao Yang whispered and laughed in Jiang Nan's ear: "My character is good, even the heavens are helping me."

Jiang Nan bared her pretty teeth: "You sleep on the floor."

Zhao Yang said pleasantly surprised: "As long as I can be with you, anything is fine."

This sentence was too powerful; Jiang Nan instantly abandoned all her internal persistence.

After entering the room, although Jiang Nan didn't insist on him sleeping on the floor, Zhao Yang still consciously laid a thin quilt on the floor and lay down.

"Jiang Nan, I have something to tell you."

Jiang Nan lay on the edge of the bed, tilting her head to look at him, somewhat surprised: "Go ahead, why are you being so formal?"

"Jiang Nan, I'm getting transferred, to the Policy Research Office of the Provincial Government."

"Ah? How long have you been at the Commission for Discipline Inspection?" Jiang Nan was a bit shocked and sat up.

"The Policy Research Office is a place where old scholars stay; how could they transfer you there?"

"Could it really be, as that Su Yawen said, that you offended someone?"

Looking at Jiang Nan with her brows furrowed, Zhao Yang laughed.

"Look how nervous you are. Let me tell you, the Policy Research Office is not simple. The Provincial Government's key work and major reform plans all come from there."

"This time I am going to the Investment Section of the Economic Division; perhaps one of my articles could influence the future development direction of Jianghan Province's industries."

Hearing him say this, Jiang Nan's hanging heart relaxed quite a bit.

But she was still worried: "Such an important position, can you..."

"Who are you looking down on?" Zhao Yang interrupted Jiang Nan, "Rest assured, your boyfriend never has moments where he can't handle things."

Seeing his smug look, Jiang Nan deliberately retorted: "You are only temporary; who my boyfriend will be in the future is not certain yet!"

After saying this, she playfully raised her chin.

"You dare!" Zhao Yang stood up and sat on the edge of the bed, pressing close to Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan instinctively shrank back, looking at him somewhat nervously.

Zhao Yang did not move around, but whispered: "I estimate I won't be able to stay there for too long; there will be a change in work soon."

Jiang Nan was a bit confused, her big eyes blinking, "Why do you say that?"

"My transfer order was signed on Thursday, which is yesterday, and it reached my hands this morning. What does this mean?"

"What does it mean?" Jiang Nan was still a bit confused.

"This means someone above is very concerned about this matter and specially transferred me there to gain experience."

Zhao Yang did not explicitly state that this was facilitated by Sun Zhendong.

Moreover, Sun Zhendong transferring him to the Policy Research Office was not entirely based on connections.

It must be that when he was in Donghai Province, his remarks deeply moved Sun Zhendong.

Jiang Nan was unaware of the relationship between Sun Hongwei and Sun Zhendong.

This girl was simple and upright; if he said too much, she would definitely guess blindly.

Jiang Nan turned her head to look at him, the corners of her mouth gradually curling up.

"This isn't just the sharpness of a reporter, right? In my opinion, you are a monster; nothing can be hidden from you!"

"I don't know where I'll go in the future. So, I want to get married first." Zhao Yang pulled her hand over, his eyes full of deep affection.

Jiang Nan laughed and shook off his hand, "You haven't even proposed, who would marry you!"

Zhao Yang lay back down on the floor bed, "So, tomorrow I'm going to see my father-in-law. Sleep!"

In early winter in Tongan, the night air was biting.

The quilt spread on the floor was too thin; not long after Zhao Yang lay down, he sneezed twice in a row.

"How about you come up and sleep?" Jiang Nan turned her head and looked under the bed.

"No, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself."

"It's okay, I can control it."

Zhao Yang raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

"Do you still remember that whip kick? From here, I can kick you out to the balcony with one foot."

Since Jiang Nan had already said so, Zhao Yang lay on the bed without hesitation.

Jiang Nan picked up a pillow and blocked it between the two of them, warning: "You are not allowed to cross the line!"

Zhao Yang chuckled: "Do you want me to tell you a story?"

"Is it about being 'worse than a beast'? I won't listen!" Jiang Nan covered herself with the quilt and turned away.

Zhao Yang: ... She could even guess this? Could it be that she has heard it before?

Early the next morning, the 'worse than a beast' Zhao Yang got ready, went with Jiang Nan to the mall to buy high-quality tea, and went to visit.

Jiang Nan opened the door, kicked off her leather shoes, and shouted into the house: "Dad, I'm back!"

A female voice suddenly came from the living room: "You're so old already, and still not steady at all!"

Hearing Lin Xuecen's voice, the joy on Jiang Nan's face collapsed, and she pouted: "Oh."

She tidied up her shoes and found a pair of slippers for Zhao Yang.

"Mom, is Dad home? Zhao Yang is here to see him today."

Zhao Yang was slightly surprised; is this girl still so straightforward? Doesn't her brain ever take a turn?

He walked in quickly and said with a smile: "That's really great, Auntie is also here today. I originally planned to go see you tomorrow when I returned to Jiangzhou."

Lin Xuecen stood up and smilingly greeted Zhao Yang to take a seat.

After Zhao Yang sat down, she turned to Jiang Nan and said: "Nan Nan, come with me for a moment!"

Jiang Nan's expression changed, and she squeezed out a smile at Zhao Yang: "You eat some fruit first, I'll be right back."

Arriving at the master bedroom, Lin Xuecen closed the door.

"Lying to your dad about working overtime last night, is this how you work overtime?"

Lin Xuecen pointed her finger in the direction of the living room: "Xiao Zhao is not bad; I quite appreciate him. But you are a girl, you must know how to respect yourself!"

Jiang Nan looked at her mother in surprise, widening her eyes, her pretty face flushing red.

"What did I do? How did I not know how to respect myself? Lin Xuecen, I'm telling you, I'm not a child, and I'm not as ignorant as you think!"

Lin Xuecen didn't expect Jiang Nan to react so intensely, her lips trembling with anger: "Then you two, early in the morning..."

"Yes, I did sleep with him!" Jiang Nan's eyes filled with tears, her voice filled with anger.

"Lin Xuecen, in this life, I will marry no one but him; do as you please!"
