Chapter 258: Housewarming

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zou Bai: It’s no problem, as long as you don’t always treat me as an outsider.

Jiang An touched her nose and sent a blushing smiling emoji.

While the two of them were chatting, Jiang An realized that another new message had entered. She opened it and saw that it was from Jiang Zhen.

Jiang Zhen: An’an, what time is the flight on Monday?

Jiang An: 10am.

Jiang Zhen: Okay, I’ll be there at 8.

She set off the day after tomorrow. There was still one day left tomorrow. Jiang An planned to settle the gift before rushing to another city.

Jiang An: Are you free tomorrow? I’ll go warm your new house up. Otherwise, you’ll have to leave Jingdu City for four months the day after tomorrow. I won’t be able to make it in time.”

Jiang Zhen had chosen to ask on Saturday night because he wanted to test her. Yesterday, when Jiang An said that she would pick a housewarming for him to move to his new house today, Jiang Zhen had been a little absent-minded the entire day.

Now that he saw Jiang An’s words, the corners of Jiang Zhen’s mouth could not help but curl up.

Jiang Zhen: I’m free. I’m free tomorrow. You can come at any time.

Jiang An: Then I’ll go over at 10 am tomorrow morning.

Jiang Zhen: Let’s have lunch at my house tomorrow. You can try my cooking.

Jiang An thought for a moment and did not refuse. However, considering that it was not good for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room, and if she was housewarming, the more people, the better.

Jiang An: Alright, my brother has been busy filming his scenes recently. He definitely won’t be free during the day. He’ll go to your house another time. I’ll go with Mom tomorrow.

When Jiang Zhen saw Jiang An mention that she wanted to be with Li Mei, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Jiang Zhen: Okay.

Jiang An and Jiang Zhen agreed before she opened Zou Bai’s message.

Zou Bai: You’re going on a trip soon. I’ll take you to the hot spring tomorrow.

Jiang An cursed in her heart. The other party had just agreed when they started making plans again.

However, there was a sequence to things. They could go on a date anytime, but congratulating a friend on moving to a new house was naturally the most appropriate thing to do when they first moved in. Jiang An could only reject him heartlessly.

Jiang An: Zou Bai, 1 have a friend who’s moving to a new house. I’ve already made plans to go to his house tomorrow. I’m sorry, let’s go to the hot spring next time.

Zou Bailian thought of the exquisitely wrapped gift he had seen in the afternoon.

Zou Bai: I see. Is the other party a female friend or a male friend? Can I go with you to get to know them?

Jiang An planned to bring Li Mei along, so she naturally could not let the two of them meet. Thinking of the scene of the two of them meeting and their secret relationship being exposed, Jiang An was so frightened that she shook her head a few times.

However, Jiang An was worried that Zou Bai would misunderstand that she was going alone. It didn’t seem good. She told himself in a low voice, “I’m not lying on purpose. Everything is a white lie.”

Jiang An comforted herself and began to reply.

Jiang An: Of course it’s a female friend.

A trace of suspicion flashed in Zou Bai’s eyes as he muttered in confusion, “Would a woman like a wrapper with a black background and silver patterns?”

Although he was suspicious, Zou Bai wasn’t stupid enough to ask. He only thought that her female friend’s aesthetic taste was special.

Zou Bai: Then let’s have dinner together. Is that okay?

Since she had already rejected him once, Jiang An couldn’t reject him a second time. She could only bite the bullet and agree.

Jiang An: Five o’clock. I still have to come back to pack my things and talk to my parents.

Zou Bai: Then I’ll pick you up at 5pm tomorrow.

Jiang An: No need. 1’11 just go to where we’re eating from my friend’s.

Zou Bai didn’t insist, which made Jiang An heave a sigh of relief. The two of them agreed on a location.

The next day, during breakfast, Jiang An mentioned asking Li Mei to accompany her to Jiang Zhen’s house.

Li Mei was eating porridge and using the action of lowering her head to hide her guilt. “Aiyo, what a coincidence. Mom happened to be going shopping with a friend today. I’ve already set a time. This time, you have to go alone.”

Jiang An frowned slightly. Li Mei usually stayed at home most of the time and rarely went out to attend any gatherings. That was why Jiang An dared to tell that to Jiang Zhen directly last night.

However, since things had come to this, Jiang An could only visit herself. She replied helplessly, “Alright.”

Li Mei smiled and replied, “Jiang Zhen doesn’t have many friends here. Your third brother has been very busy recently. If you’re the only one going today, stay longer. There’s no hurry to come back.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang An was secretly happy. “Mom, then 1 might not come back for dinner tonight.”

Although she hoped that the two of them would interact more and get to know each other better, Li Mei was unwilling for her to go for an entire day and only return at night. The girl acted like she was in a hurry. Li Mei was worried that her daughter would be looked down on by the man. “You still have to come back for dinner. You can stay for a while after lunch at Jiang Zhen’s house. Just come back before dinner..”
