When walking out of the restaurant with items in hand and looking at the still bustling street, he was at a loss for a mont.
The Taoist nun sister did indeed co.
But how to accommodate a living person?
Should she stay at a hotel?
If it were when they just t, it wouldn’t be a psychological burden, but now leaving her alone in a hotel feels sowhat inconsiderate.
Bring her back to Spring and Autumn Plaza?
That doesn’t seem quite appropriate either.
First.
That’s actually not his house.
Second.
Regardless of whose house it is, you can’t just ignore Li Shuru’s feelings.
Even though, given Li Shuru’s personality, she probably wouldn’t mind, there’s a difference between making decisions upfront and negotiating beforehand.
Standing on the street corner, Jiang Chen found himself in a dilemma, not knowing whether to turn left or right.
Wait.
Suddenly, as he was racking his brains, a flash of inspiration struck, and he found a suitable place to go.
"Co with ."
He took the Taoist nun sister to Jin Zhuxuan’s neighborhood by car.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Just after knocking for a few seconds, the door was opened from the inside, with Jin Zhuxuan wearing perfectly light makeup on her face.
Even for a celebrity, do you really need to be so "disciplined" at ho late at night?
"Mr. Jiang."
Knowing Jiang Chen was coming, she was quite happy, not even hiding this emotion, showing it directly on her face.
"Brought you so late-night snacks."
Boss Jiang maintained his composure and lifted the take-out bag in his hand.
Jin Zhuxuan was even happier, but when she opened the door to let Jiang Chen in, her smile froze instantly as Tanki Liuli ca into view behind him, with the expanding field of view.
"This is my friend, Tanki Liuli."
Jiang Chen introduced.
As for introducing Jin Zhuxuan to the Taoist nun sister, that seed unnecessary.
"Oh, please co in."
Jin Zhuxuan quickly regained her smile, warmly inviting the two of them inside with no change in deanor.
"Have they already left?"
Xia Wanqing wasn’t around.
"Yes, they left today. Mr. Jiang, what would you like to drink?"
"No need, I’m not thirsty."
Jiang Chen didn’t want to trouble them, so he placed the packed late-night snacks on the coffee table and looked at Tanki Liuli, "Have a seat."
Then, he looked at Jin Zhuxuan, who as the host seed a bit reserved, "You sit too."
"Miss Duan...you’re really pretty."
As expected of a celebrity artist, Jin Zhuxuan sowhat understood social interaction, and besides, even she was amazed by Mr. Jiang’s friend’s looks, which made her feel sowhat inadequate despite being considered a Goryeo national treasure.
In her career, until now, she had never had such a feeling, even though the entertainnt industry never lacks handso n and beautiful won.
Moreover, this wasn’t the key point.
In Goryeo, attractive stars often beco templates for costic surgery institutions, and her face was displayed on the walls of many surgery clinics.
The costic surgery industry in Goryeo is well-known for its hustle, leading the world with its advancents. But Mr. Jiang’s friend...
She felt that no matter how advanced those institutions’ techniques were, they could never replicate such beauty.
So beauty doesn’t lie just in the skin and flesh. Skin and flesh can be sculpted, modified, but the things beneath the skin, beyond the flesh, aren’t sothing a scalpel can touch.
"...She’s not surnad Duan."
Although it was sowhat awkward, Jiang Chen corrected, "Her surna is Duanmu."
"Ah...Mianhaeyo!"
Out of embarrassnt, Jin Zhuxuan instinctively used her mother tongue.
Even without understanding, Jiang Chen could guess it was an apology.
"Is Miss Duanmu also an artist?"
Jin Zhuxuan asked with a flushed face.
Such a guess was understandable. In Goryeo, any woman with so looks would find ways to squeeze into the entertainnt circle. Those without the looks would turn to those costic institutions to create beauty.
"She’s not, she’s more like my bodyguard."
Bodyguard?
Jin Zhuxuan’s eyes widened in disbelief, fixedly staring at Tanki Liuli, whose appearance did not match the typical bodyguard in any way.
Bodyguards were usually burly and sturdy.
Even the female bodyguards she had seen had iron-like faces and sharp gazes, unlike this one.
"Don’t stare at her that way, be careful not to provoke her. You should understand what ’don’t judge a book by its cover’ ans now. If you anger her, and she throws you down, I can’t stop her."
Jiang Chen said seriously.
Jin Zhuxuan, much like a startled fawn, quickly shifted her gaze from Tanki Liuli and beca even more reserved.
Jiang Chen could no longer hold back; after all, his visit was still to ask for help.
"Just kidding, she’s indeed a bodyguard of mine, but you can see she’s unlike any conventional bodyguards."
Boss Jiang chuckled, "But she really is quite capable of fighting, easily handling a hundred like you."
He really knew how to make comparisons.
Not using himself as an example but using soone else as a reference.
"That’s amazing."
Jin Zhuxuan murmured softly, without any doubt.
However, don’t forget, with quantity cos a qualitative change. Although she was a delicate idol, powerless even to truss a chicken, a hundred still couldn’t be underestimated.
But Jiang Chen definitely wasn’t exaggerating.
After all, in Goryeo, he had witnessed Lan Peizhi’s formidable strength firsthand,
soone who was truly undefeatable, capable of taking on hundreds alone.
"Miss Xia went on a trip, are you lonely living alone?"
Jiang Chen’s sudden concern made Jin Zhuxuan’s gaze tremble; she t Jiang Chen’s eyes for a mont before quickly lowering her head a little and softly replied, "It’s okay, Mr. Jiang doesn’t need to worry. When I was in Goryeo, I also lived alone."
Why is there such a gap between celebrities?
Think of Yang Ni.
Before finishing her sentence, I’m afraid she would have already understood.
So at tis, being a bit smooth is not a bad thing.
Boss Jiang, with nothing to latch onto, could only cough lightly, "Then I suppose it must get boring, with no one to talk to."
"Not at all, I can practice calligraphy, read, dance, and watch TV..."
Indeed.
So fulfilling.
Watching this Goryeo Divine Face honestly answering his questions, Jiang Chen’s eye twitched, and his smile involuntarily beca sowhat stiff.
The conversation stalled.
A complete stall.
"Mr. Jiang, do you... have any business?"
Fortunately.
It wasn’t complete obliviousness.
Jin Zhuxuan finally sensed sothing amiss.
"I do have a bit of a favor to ask you."
It seed he couldn’t beat around the bush any longer.
"Please, Mr. Jiang, just say it. As long as it’s sothing I can do, I’m willing to do anything."
Jin Zhuxuan spoke without hesitation.
At first glance, these words might be easily misunderstood, but after all, she wasn’t a native of Shenzhou. Misplaced words or inappropriate expressions were completely understandable.
"Just a small request. Aren’t you living here alone now? So I was wondering if she could stay here for a few days."
Jin Zhuxuan was caught off guard, involuntarily turning her head to look at the silent Tanki Liuli.
"She’s rather reserved and not very talkative. But don’t worry; she’s definitely a good person."
Jiang Chen explained, "If it’s inconvenient, it’s okay, I’ll think of sothing else."
"It’s convenient, convenient!"
Jin Zhuxuan quickly said, "She can keep company."
Jiang Chen nodded.
"Thank you."
"No trouble at all!" Jin Zhuxuan imdiately shook her head, "It’s no more than a small task."
Jiang Chen smiled.
"Let tidy up the room a bit, I’ll sleep in Sister Wanqing’s room. Miss Duanmu can sleep in mine."
She truly was soone who understood social decorum.
Jin Zhuxuan quickly stood up to tidy the room.
"You can stay here for a few days first."
Jiang Chen looked at Tanki Liuli, "Any issue with the environnt? She’s not from Shenzhou; she’s a star from Goryeo. She’s nice, and you two should get along fine."
Tanki Liuli never refused arrangents, or rather, her life up until now had always been according to other people’s arrangents.
This ti was no different.
She did not reject Jiang Chen’s arrangent for her, though this ti there seed to be sothing unusual in the usual.
"Do the only acquaintances you have happen to be won."
She looked at Jiang Chen, clearly and earnestly asking a question.
Boss Jiang was unexpectedly caught off-guard, feeling as if struck by lightning, and it wasn’t until he stayed dazed for a while that he composed himself, seriously and earnestly retorting,
"You want to live with a man?"
An absolute coback.
Then.
For the first ti in history, he felt a sense of danger emanating from the Taoist nun sister, even her gaze and deanor bore traces of her senior sister’s aura.
Jiang Chen’s back straightened involuntarily, quickly taking out his phone, while standing up and pretending, "I’ll report so peace to the old Taoist master."
He moved aside.
In reality.
He didn’t even have the phone number of that old immortal master.
