Quick Transmigration with Female Lead Aura Chapter 142

Published at 27th of July 2022 10:23:53 AM

Jiang Nian was in the study when Xiao Zheng came over suddenly. Auntie knew Xiao Zheng and didn't hold him back. She told him that the lady was in the study upstairs, and he came over by himself.

He seemed to be in a hurry, his chest heaving, his breathing short, and there were even beads of sweat on his forehead.

He was born handsome and unparalleled. He usually seemed indifferent, but in front of Jiang Nian, he was well-behaved and harmless. At this moment, his face gained a bit of fragility, showcasing his delicate mood, but his eyes were still very dignified.

This appearance, that is, was the same as two years ago, when Xiao's parents and Xiao Yicai died. The then weak Xiao Zheng had a cold face during the day, but when he was alone at night, he would unconsciously reveal his vulnerability. Later on, he would restrain his expression even more and learned to disguise under a mask of falsehood, otherwise, he wouldn't have fooled Jiang Nian.

When Jiang Nian saw him suddenly approaching, she wondered: “What's the matter?”

Xiao Zheng entered the study, closed the door, and stood with his back to Jiang Nian for a moment, and just when Jiang Nian became impatient, he finally spoke, calling her: “Jiang Nian.”

Jiang Nian was stunned, and her fingers tightened around the pen she held.

Xiao Zheng turned around, there was no superfluous expression on his face, only seriousness and earnestness remained, and he said pitifully: “I see that you are not surprised nor shocked at all, it seems that my dream is true, Jiang Nian, you already know that I like you, you actually know…”

Jiang Nian put down her pen, leaned back on her chair, and ordered, “Xiao Zheng, go back.”

Xiao Zheng's expression became uglier than crying. He walked up to Jiang Nian, looked at her stubbornly, and asked, “Do you hate me?”

Jiang Nian thought about it, it's not that she hates him, it's just that she can't do anything to this poor little one, not to mention her ambition does not match with his, and there is also the sea of beauties (male pets) waiting for her to be petted.

Xiao Zheng took Jiang Nian's silence as a default agreement, he stepped forward again, squatted beside Jiang Nian, as he did countless times before, and looked up at her: “You hate me? Do you think I'm too perverted for falling in love with you? Do you not want to see me in the future?”

Jiang Nian looked down at the big boy squatting beside her, and said, “I don't hate you, and I don't think you're perverted…”

Xiao Zheng followed immediately, his dim eyes brightening at this moment: “Do you accept me liking you?”

Jiang Nian snorted and slapped Xiao Zheng on the forehead: “Little brat, don't fool me!”

Xiao Zheng rubbed his forehead, looking pitiful as if he was a child beat and scolded: “I haven't (yet).”

Jiang Nian said: “Not yet? Okay, some things, we will treat them as if they never happened, don't mention them in the future. You can go back.”

Xiao Zheng: “…”

He looked at her silently for a while, then spoke in a low voice: “Jiang Nian, do you know, I always wanted to call you by your name like in my dreams, and I always wanted to tell you that I like you and that I will become the best man in the world for you. But I didn't dare, I was afraid that you'd think I'm disgusting, avoid me, and don't want to see me again in the future. I didn't dare, I was too afraid of losing you.”

It's really too timid, too cowardly.

Jiang Nian asked: “Then you're not afraid now?”

Xiao Zheng looked at her suspiciously: “Didn't you say you didn't hate me, and that you didn't think I was perverted?”

After a moment of silence, “Don't you want to talk? Jiang Nian, don't treat me like this…”

Jiang Nian: “…” She couldn't help but want to whack him on the head again.

Xiao Zheng looked at her face carefully. Seeing her dark face, he cowered a bit. He was also a little guilty. Of course, he was even more afraid that Jiang Nian would ignore him and drive him away. He approached her, hugged her leg again, and earnestly said: “I was afraid that you would know, but now that you know it, I don't want to hide it. I like you, Jiang Nian. It's not mere drunken talk the night before yesterday, I really like you.”

Jiang Nian lowered her eyes. Looking at the man kneeling beside her legs, the sincerity in his eyes can't be faked. He really likes her, but her favorite is Big Gold.

Jiang Nian began, “I—huh?”

“Don't talk, I know what you're going to say, don't say it.” Xiao Zheng covered her mouth immediately, his eyes were a little red, and the stern man turned into a pitiful puppy again, “I like you, I like you more than that university professor, I like you the most, I can give you everything I have, give you my life… Can you give me a chance?”

She frowned and took his hand down, “Xiao Zheng, I didn't teach you to be so humble, you don't have to.”

Xiao Zheng smiled sadly: “If I don't, you will push me completely, you are so cruel.”

Jiang Nian: …It's not good to know her too well.

Xiao Zheng lowered his head and leaned his head on her knee: “I just hope you don't reject me, don't hide from me, I won't ask for anything else…”

Jiang Nian felt that she was not as cruel as Xiao Zheng said. She at least felt a little soft-hearted and distressed at the moment. She had been with Xiao Zheng for nearly ten years. At first, he rejected her very much, and he did not rely on her as much as he did now. In this world, Xiao Zheng is also the only person she trusts.

But her heart belongs to the world of beauties and belongs to the big gold. Could it be that her dream of a prosperous life can't be realized?

So frustrating!

…

Since the matter was revealed, Xiao Zheng stopped hiding. Every day he would either call or send a message to Jiang Nian. He was very restrained before, but now he actually started to give her expensive and precious gifts regularly.

He must be too sensible, right? It seems that he has also learned the essence of Guo Xiuyu's education!

The key point is that he was still aggrieved when he gave her gifts, saying pitifully: “Every time I saw something beautiful and suitable for you, I wanted to buy it for you, but I was afraid that it would be over the top and that I would scare you away. …”

How is this possible? That's looking down on her too much. If she knew that his liking would bring so much big gold, she would have softened her heart earlier!

Xiao Zheng continued: “I'm not afraid anymore, I want to give you all the beautiful things in the world!”

Jiang Nian: “…” She really couldn't say anything to refuse. The big gold is too tempting! ! !

However, Xiao Zheng was so obvious in his pursuit that the first person who came to trouble him was the old lady. Faced with her questioning, he finally stopped being as secretive as before, “Grandma, what I was afraid of is that Jiang Nian would be disgusted with me. But she doesn't, so I'm not afraid of anything.”

The old lady questioned, “You're not afraid of me anymore?”

Xiao Zheng replied, “Grandma, Jiang Nian is so nice, you like her too, she's such a nice person. Isn't it normal for me to fall in love with her? Why can't I love her?”

“Have you forgotten your eldest brother!”

“I haven't forgotten, I fell in love with Jiang Nian after a long, long time…”

At the age of seventeen, Xiao Zheng's loving parents and elder brother died in a car accident. After that, the people around him changed their faces. Those relatives who seemed to be harmonious before came to the door one after another, conspiring in the name of caring. They wanted to trick him out to take over everything in the Xiao family before he was an adult. This is just one means of their, and the second is that someone fanned the flames in his ear, saying that Jiang Nian was trying to occupy his family's property and trying to make him not believe her.

Although he was not as smart as his eldest brother, he was not really stupid. He would not believe their words that easily, but at that time, Jiang Nian was called back by Jiang Tao. She did not come back for a long time. When he fell ill, he was isolated and helpless at that time, and he had to guard against the calculations of all parties. He was determined to take over the Xiao family left by his father and brother, but it became difficult because he had no work experience in this area at all. It was also impossible for the board of directors to hand Xiao Shi to an old lady and an underage boy.

At that time, Jiang Nian came back. He still remembers how she suddenly appeared in front of him carrying a big wooden stick, drove away those so-called relatives, and supported the entire Xiao family independently as Xiao Yi's widow.  When she stood in front of him, just one look could make him feel at ease, as if there was nothing to fear, and that everything that worried and scared him before became insignificant.

From then on, he became used to following Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian handles official business until late, and he will accompany her to do her homework until late. No matter what she does, she will not shy away from him. On weekends, he also accompanies her to socialize. It was difficult at first. Jiang Nian, a woman, faced old foxes who would always make things difficult for her, even sexism, taking advantage of her verbally. Every time, he wanted those people to disappear… Maybe it was from that time that he decided he would always protect Jiang Nian. He wanted to stand in front of her instead of hiding behind her. He wanted to hold up the sky for her and cover all the wind and rain for her. Later, when he came to power, he exacted revenge on those who had hurt Jiang Nian.

Actually, at first…he just wanted to protect her.

And then he didn't know when he had other thoughts about her.

Jiang Nian is so good, is it that unbelievable that he fell in love with her?

He respects her and loves her, and the two don't conflict.

“Grandma, I'm sorry, don't go to Jiang Nian. If this is wrong, it's my fault. It has nothing to do with Jiang Nian.”

“Do you think I'm really an unreasonable old woman?” With a snort, he reprimanded, “It's your fault, you stinky boy, you're a lot of trouble, don't drag Jiang Nian down.”

“I won't hurt her.”

The old lady shook her head helplessly, not knowing whether to think of today's situation as good or bad. She couldn't put all the responsibility on Xiao Zheng, and of course she couldn't say that Jiang Nian was at fault either. After the accident at home, Xiao Zheng spent too much time with Jiang Nian, and Jiang Nian wanted to guard the Xiao family, which undoubtedly cost her too much energy. In the past ten years, they have faced each other day and night, and they have been through countless trials together. Xiao Zheng likes Jiang Nian, so who is to blame?

She had a headache and didn't want to talk anymore. She went back to her room to rest, relying on her crutches for support. Xiao Zheng wanted to see her off, but she waved him away.

…

A few days later, Jiang Nian suddenly received a set of photos from the private detective. It turned out to be a photo of Yang Hai going to school to find Jiang Boxue. The two had lunch at a fried chicken restaurant outside the school, and they were intimate, to say the least.

Although it is not clear what Yang Hai planned, Jiang Nian could guess vaguely. Over the years, Yang Hai and the Jiang family have been close, and the relationship between Yang Hai and Jiang Boxue is also very close. Jiang Tao also intended to let Jiang Boxue recognize him as his godfather, but for some reason, Yang Hai refused. Yang Hai going Jiang Boxue at this juncture means he probably wants to take the route of saving the country through a curve and let Jiang Boxue say good things about him to Jiang Tao.

This Yang Hai is also as despicable as rats, using the mowest of means. Jiang Boxue is only a few years old, and he actually wants to use him.

Jiang Nian's mind turned, and suddenly she remembered the unclear relationship between Yang Hai and Guo Xiuyu… She always felt that Guo Xiuyu after her rebirth coming back to target the original owner was too strange, did she really just want to monopolize Jiang Tao's property, afraid that the original owner would rob her?

I have exams next week and the week after that, so I may not be able to update for a while. Sorry for leaving you hanging… Can you guess what's the plot twist?
