"Rest assured, Young Master, I have checked. She indeed lives here, without a doubt." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Since she lives here, and the security said they haven’t seen her leave, why, after knocking for so long, is no one answering the door? Could she still be asleep?"

Nangong Chen muttered to himself, raising his hand again. This time, he knocked a bit harder. Little Fox heard it but glanced at Jiang Xue, who was seriously brewing medicine, and said nothing.

Stopping the medicine brewing halfway would ruin the batch. So, it only hoped that the person knocking would be sensible enough to leave upon finding no one answering.

But Nangong Chen was not someone who gave up easily. Since the guard said Jiang Xue was home, she must be home.

At first, he suspected Jiang Xue might be asleep. But now, after knocking so loudly and still no answer, he began to suspect something might have happened to her.

With this suspicion, Nangong Chen was even more reluctant to leave. He took out his phone and dialed Jiang Xue’s number.

The phone rang, but no one answered. Nangong Chen’s face darkened, and he considered whether he should kick the door open.

However, thinking of Jiang Xue’s temper, he held back and kept dialing her number. As time passed, Jiang Xue finally finished brewing her second batch of medicine.

The moment she packed the pills, Little Fox told her, "Woman, someone has been knocking on your door for over half an hour."

"What?" Jiang Xue was startled, quickly packing away the medicine bottle, and rushed out of the space. Back in her room, she indeed heard the knocking and was about to open the door when she remembered her son was still in the space, and she stopped.

She entered the space again and carried Little Reunion out. Holding her son, Jiang Xue left the room and opened the door.

By then, Nangong Chen’s patience had already worn thin. Worried about Jiang Xue, he was just about to kick the door when, unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his foot, the door opened, and his action was seen by Jiang Xue.

"Why is it you?" Jiang Xue didn’t have a good expression, glaring at Nangong Chen. Earlier, she thought it might be Mr. Mu or Lu Jintian visiting.

Unexpectedly, it was Nangong Chen. Moreover, he had his foot up, clearly intending to kick the door open.

"Miss Jiang, are you okay?" Nangong Chen awkwardly retracted his foot and asked with concern. He had been knocking for so long, and Jiang Xue hadn’t come out, so he was really worried.

"I’m fine!" Jiang Xue replied coldly and then asked, "What brings Mr. Nangong here?"

Hearing the distance in Jiang Xue’s words, Nangong Chen’s expression darkened, and he said, "Miss Jiang, can’t I visit you without a reason?"

"Since Mr. Nangong has no reason, please leave. I have things to take care of and can’t entertain you," Jiang Xue said coolly, unclear and uninterested in Nangong Chen’s purpose for visiting.

Nangong Chen not only didn’t leave but even held Jiang Xue’s door, smiling and asking, "Jiang Xue, are you afraid of me?"

"Who said that!" Jiang Xue naturally wouldn’t admit it and said, "Why would I be afraid of you? There’s nothing scary about you."

"In that case, why doesn’t Miss Jiang invite me in?"

With these words, Jiang Xue realized, belatedly, that she had fallen into Nangong Chen’s trap. Damn Nangong Chen, he had set her up.
