Chapter 505: Chapter 407: Attempting to Persuade Jiang Ning

Qi Xingzhou’s words made Qi Chen, who was originally checking to see if the rental conditions at Jiang Ning’s place were safe, tremble, and he turned around with a complex expression to look at Qi Xingzhou, "What do you mean by ’take her’?"

The last time he had heard his little brother ask for something, it seemed to be over a decade ago, when a four- or five-year-old Qi Xingzhou with chubby little hands pointed at a Luban blocks toy in a babyish voice, wanting to take it home...

At that time, he purchased the blocks toy with some money.

But Jiang Ning was a living person.

This little brother of his hadn’t made a request in over ten years, and when he finally did, it was a challenging one.

After tossing the question back to Qi Xingzhou, Qi Xingzhou furrowed his brow and thought very seriously.

"The villa is our home, Jiang Ning is living here just fine, there’s no reason for her to leave with us," Qi Chen added indifferently, trying to make his little brother face reality sooner, "The safety here is adequate, far from the point where she needs to move out."

Seeing Qi Chen about to say something he didn’t like to hear, Qi Xingzhou lowered his eyes and pretended not to understand what his older brother was talking about.

He didn’t even spare Qi Chen an extra glance, turning around and entering the room without any reluctance, as if he had only followed Qi Chen around to say that one sentence.

Seeing that his goal with Qi Chen was unmet, he immediately returned to Jiang Ning’s side.

Qi Chen: "..."

People usually discard something after using it, but his little brother was already tossing even before using!

Qi Xingzhou returned to Jiang Ning’s side, acting as Jiang Ning’s little shadow.

"You’ve arrived just in time," Jiang Ning stood in front of the fridge, opened the fridge door, and asked Qi Xingzhou, "What do you and your brother usually like to drink? Help yourself."

Adding on the time she spent out catching criminals, Jiang Ning figured she had lived here for no more than a month.

Living alone and often not at home, she didn’t buy bottled water in case it bred bacteria, nor did she ever use a water dispenser, always buying small bottled mineral water and other beverages, with a decent variety of flavors.

Qi Xingzhou glanced at the beverage in Jiang Ning’s hand, picked one just like it for himself, and then also got a bottle of mineral water for Qi Chen.

So, when Qi Chen came inside, he glanced at the mineral water his little brother handed him, and then back at the ’Nutrition Express’ in the hands of Qi Xingzhou and Jiang Ning... Huh? Why did he get something different?

However, Qi Chen didn’t think too much about it; he was disciplined and healthy with his habits and diet, and he never touched beverages like those.

Looking at the mineral water in his hand, the originally indifferent Qi Chen revealed a trace of emotion, feeling that this was a manifestation of Qi Xingzhou’s care for him.

Otherwise, how could he have known that he only drinks mineral water?

Qi Chen unscrewed the cap and took a sip, then said to Jiang Ning, "With this kind of thing happening, living here alone seems a bit unsafe. Why don’t you move in with us for a while?"

Since his foolish little brother was so concerned about him, of course, he would try his best to fulfill his little brother’s wishes.

Even though he knew the chances of Jiang Ning agreeing to move were slim, he still made the effort to express his sincerity to Jiang Ning, "We have many empty rooms, and we have maids who clean regularly, so it’s clean, you can just move in. The security in the villa area is much stricter than here, and absolutely no strangers are allowed in. After the police catch the person behind all this, you can move back whenever you want."
