Chapter 1233: Met Before

"Do you need me to go with you?"

After Nangong Yu came back to her senses, she continued to speak.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, "No need, you wouldn't be able to help much if you came along, and would instead become a burden."

Nangong Yu was speechless for a moment, "Isn't it a bit too direct for you to say it like that?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "You don't like directness?"

Upon hearing this, a smile bloomed on Nangong Yu's pretty face, "I do."

The smile on Wang Jianqiang's face grew even richer, "Isn't that right, then?"

Nangong Yu's beautiful eyes flashed, "Then... shall we have something even more direct?"

A look of bewilderment flashed across Wang Jianqiang's face, "What do you mean by even more direct?"

Nangong Yu was stunned, then she looked at Auntie Qin, who was also showing a look of curiosity, and immediately realized what had happened.

Pretending to be upright.

She secretly curled her lip, but did not expose Wang Jianqiang.

She spat out two words in a generous and open manner.

Hearing these two words spill from Nangong Yu's mouth, Qin Yun was instantly dumbfounded.

Miss Yu'er might not be considered a refined young lady of a noble family on a daily basis.

But she was always proper, and had never had any inappropriate words or actions.

She never expected that she would have such a wild side.

On the other side.

Wang Jianqiang also seemed unable to handle such straightforward words.

His face turned red in an instant.

"Yu'er, we are both civilized people, how~ how can you... be like this..."

Nangong Yu curled her lip, "It's not the first time, why are you shy?"

Wang Jianqiang gave a wry smile, "This... you know, I am thin-skinned... besides... Qin Yun is still right here."

"Auntie Qin is not an outsider."

Nangong Yu curled her lip, then turned her gaze to look at Qin Yun, "Auntie Qin, when I just returned to the family, I heard my mother say that you admire Wang Jianqiang very much."

"How about I give you a chance?"

As she spoke, her expression was calm, as if she were talking about what to eat tonight.

But the content of what she said truly left Qin Yun dumbfounded, "Yu'er, this... Daoist Friend Wang is your... good friend... how can I..."

"What of it?"

Nangong Yu shook her head, "As a Personal Maid, one should naturally be part of the dowry."

"My mother treated you as a sister, which is why she didn't use this rule to bind you."

"Although I treat you as an elder, you are now considered my Personal Maid; if we go by the rules, no one can say anything."

Hearing Nangong Yu's calm words, Qin Yun was stunned, and her eyes lit up.

Originally, her feelings for Wang Jianqiang were purely admiration and adoration.

But she had never thought she could stay by Wang Jianqiang's side forever.

After learning of the relationship between Nangong Yu and Wang Jianqiang, she had completely given up on this hope.

She only hoped not to be seen through by Miss Yu'er and make her angry.

Never expected...

Miss Yu'er had actually known she admired Wang Jianqiang all along, and was even specifically playing matchmaker for her and Wang Jianqiang.

A wave of emotion washed over her, and at the same time, she felt a surge of surprise.

In this way, she would no longer need to worry about her relationship with Wang Jianqiang being discovered by Miss Yu'er.

More importantly, she would also have the opportunity to stay by Wang Jianqiang's side.

"Many thanks, Miss Yu'er."

She did not act coy or overly polite, and took the opportunity to accept.

Wang Jianqiang was shocked, "This... I have always been an upright person who upholds the Way of the Gentleman, how can I..."

"Enough, listen to me."

Nangong Yu didn't wait for Wang Jianqiang to finish, but secretly rolled her eyes and interrupted his words.

This bastard, he's getting the benefit and still acting coy, he's addicted to acting, isn't he?

Hearing Nangong Yu's words, Wang Jianqiang's speech stopped immediately.

Although his face was full of difficulty, after a moment of hesitation, he finally sighed helplessly.

"Since you've said so, Yu'er, then I'll listen to you."

"Who else but me spoils you the most."

Twenty days later.

Qin Yun left Cuiyu Garden with deep joy, found Qin Ran, and told her the news that Nangong Yu had come out of seclusion.

Qin Ran let out a long sigh of relief.

Immediately after, her expression shifted, "Yu'er usually comes to report her safety to me herself after coming out of seclusion, why did you come instead this time?"

"Where is Yu'er?"

Qin Yun's expression flickered, "Miss Yu'er, she..."

"She has been in seclusion for so long that she is a bit exhausted and is currently resting."

Qin Ran nodded upon hearing this, not thinking much of it.

Qin Yun and she were like sisters, and she had never deceived her.

Moreover,

what Qin Yun said also had some merit.

The secret technique Yu'er was cultivating during this seclusion was extremely difficult and would inevitably consume a great deal of energy.

It was normal for her to be a bit exhausted.

She pondered for a moment and said, "I will go see her."

Qin Yun was startled, "Miss Ran, is that necessary? Miss Yu'er is currently resting."

Qin Ran rolled her eyes, "I am her mother; no matter how tired she is, would she shut her own mother out?"

"But..."

Qin Yun wanted to say something more.

Qin Ran suddenly looked at her, revealing a strange expression, "Sister Yun, you are acting strange."

Qin Yun's heart skipped a beat, "What is strange? Miss Ran, I don't quite understand what you mean?"

Qin Ran stared at Qin Yun with a serious expression.

Qin Yun felt a wave of trepidation in her heart.

Could it be...

that Miss Ran had guessed something?

Miss Yu'er had always been highly valued by Miss Ran; if the relationship between Daoist Friend Wang and Miss Yu'er were exposed, would Miss Ran not act against Daoist Friend Wang?

Just as her inner worry grew stronger, Qin Ran, who had been staring at her seriously, suddenly burst into laughter, "Sister Yun, how many years have you been with Yu'er that you are already thinking of her so much?"

"This level of concern even exceeds your concern for me."

"Aren't you afraid I'll be jealous?"

Hearing Qin Ran's words, Qin Yun was stunned.

Her heart relaxed, and she followed with a laugh, "Miss Ran, what is this? Are you going to compete for favor with your own daughter?"

"Of course, we are sisters; if you favor one over the other, how can I not be jealous?"

Qin Ran and Qin Yun bantered for a while.

The conversation shifted, "Let's go, come with me to see what gains Yu'er has made during this seclusion."

After speaking, she walked toward the outside of the residence.

Seeing this scene,

Qin Yun opened her mouth.

In the end, she did not continue to block her.

Not long after.

Qin Ran and Qin Yun arrived at Nangong Yu's residence.

"Daoist Friend Wang, let me introduce you."

"This is my mother."

After everyone was seated, Nangong Yu pointed at Qin Ran and said to Wang Jianqiang.

"My sister and I have already met once."

Wang Jianqiang looked at Qin Ran and smiled.

Met already?

Nangong Yu was taken aback, then immediately realized.

Wang Jianqiang had arrived before she finished her seclusion; it must have been then that he met her mother.

Immediately after, her attention fell back onto the way Wang Jianqiang addressed her mother.

A flash of helplessness crossed her expression.

Her mother had a lively nature.

Based on her understanding of her mother, she didn't even need to guess to know that this form of address was requested by her mother herself.

Thinking of this, she did not dwell on the address and smiled at Qin Ran, "Mother, you previously wanted me to bring Daoist Friend Wang home as a guest."

"Now Daoist Friend Wang is here."

"When you first met, how did it feel?"

"Was there a sense of pleasant surprise that meeting in person was better than hearing the reputation?"
