Chapter 1240: Chapter 1240: All Ruined By That One Kick

"Tingye? I rarely come by as your uncle, you’re not planning on keeping me from seeing him, are you?"

In just a few words, Jiang Jinchen reverted to his casual and devil-may-care demeanor.

This Mr. Jiang Jinchen who seemingly didn’t care about anything was the man Dan Hanjie was familiar with.

Dan Hanjie never doubted his ability to strike out on his own; what he hadn’t anticipated was that after enduring so many years, Jiang Jinchen would choose to leave the Jiang Family for a woman.

Dan Hanjie’s eyes flashed slightly, "He’s upstairs, asleep."

Neither of them stood up, they just slouched in the sofa, exchanging glances.

A prolonged silence.

In the end, it was the butler who broke the strange atmosphere.

"Mr. Jie, Miss Ning came to see the young mistress."

Hearing this, it wasn’t Dan Hanjie who reacted first, but Jiang Jinchen.

Like electrocuted, the mere mention of Ning Yanan’s name instinctively brought him to his feet from the sofa.

He anxiously looked towards the main door.

"No need to rush, Mr. Three; the gatehouse just called to let her in, it’ll take some time before she walks in, it won’t be immediate," the butler kindly reminded.

"Who said I’m in a hurry? I’ve just been sitting too long, my legs are a bit numb, just standing up to stretch," Jiang Jinchen unabashedly explained for himself.

"Shake it off well, just don’t get a leg cramp from nervousness in front of Ning Yanan," Dan Hanjie gave him a sidelong glance, his tone neither warm nor cold, and headed upstairs.

"Such harsh words, so unfriendly."

Jiang Jinchen watched his retreating back, muttering his complaints under his breath.

Hearing footsteps by the door, the expression on his face instantly tightened, and he turned around.

Meeting Ning Yanan’s surprised eyes, he raised an eyebrow.

"Surprised to see me? Like you, I’m here to visit the sick."

"..."

Ning Yanan, having been preempted, suddenly didn’t know what to say.

She looked at him and, in the end, said nothing, just silently walked into the living room.

She was planning to ask Qin Youxuan about selecting a date for the photo session when she unexpectedly learned that Qin Youxuan had caught a cold after the wedding photo shoot.

Ning Yanan left without saying goodbye that day, and worried about Qin Youxuan, so she came over immediately.

But she hadn’t expected to run into Jiang Jinchen.

Ning Yanan recalled what Jiang Jinchen had said that day, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.

She didn’t sit down on the sofa but looked towards the butler.

"Xuan, how is she?"

"Miss Ning, the young mistress is resting; Mr. Jie has instructed that no one disturb her."

"She’s still sleeping, don’t wake her. I’ll go see Tingye and leave."

Ning Yanan started to head upstairs.

With Jiang Jinchen in the living room, she wouldn’t stay there waiting with him.

"Hiss—"

Just as Ning Yanan was determined and had taken a couple of steps forward, a sound like the tearing of fabric came from behind her.

Immediately afterward, her lower leg felt an icy chill.

Turning her head, she saw that her skirt had come apart.

And Jiang Jinchen’s foot was on the hem of her long skirt...

Meeting her astonished gaze, he leisurely withdrew his foot, lips parting innocently.

"Sorry, I accidentally stepped on it. Should I compensate you?"

"..."

Ning Yanan was on duty today and had changed into casual clothes after work to come here.

She wore a Bohemian-style long dress, a serene and relaxed rarity for her.

With just past shoulder-length hair, she had tied it into a loose braid resting on her shoulder.

It looked like she wasn’t planning on cutting it short again.

This outfit made her already delicate beauty even more refreshingly clean and pleasant.

Now, it had been ruined by Jiang Jinchen’s foot.
