Chapter 48: Chapter 048: Want to ride in my car?

"Get lost."

Ouyang Jingxian slapped her disdainfully.

Hearing this, Jiang Tong pouted and withdrew her hand.

Everyone treated the earlier incident as a minor mishap at the party.

After enjoying the scene, they returned to their respective spots.

God knows what craziness struck Ouyang Jingxian, she actually mingled with the drunkards.

So by the end of the party, she was completely tipsy, her drunkenness was no less than Jiang Tong’s.

But since she came alone today, the responsibility of taking her home was given to Qi Feng, who was quite familiar with her.

Qi Feng supported the already passed-out Ouyang Jingxian, thought for a moment, and said, "Xiao Tong, why don’t you wait here for me? I’ll take Jingxian home first."

Jiang Tong didn’t drive today, and walking back to Ao Garden Century might take forever.

"No need." Jiang Tong shook her head, "I want to go back to Shanshui City."

Shanshui City.

In Beijing, it’s an existence where every inch costs an inch of gold, with each square meter priced at a million.

It backs Beihai and is located at the heart of Beijing’s villa district.

This was a birthday gift from her grandfather when Jiang Tong turned eighteen; she only occasionally went there.

The Lu Family wasn’t far from Shanshui City, just a ten-minute walk away.

Hearing her say this, Qi Feng was silent for a while, then worriedly said, "Be careful then..."

"Don’t worry, it’s just a few steps away." Jiang Tong sighed helplessly.

In the end, only after her repeated assurances, Qi Feng felt relieved to leave with Ouyang Jingxian.

As night deepened, the evening breeze turned cool. The people at Lu Mansion were almost all gone.

Jiang Tong, carrying a light gray handbag, walked on the sidewalk.

The orange-yellow lights cast down, her silhouette elongated, appearing somewhat lonely.

A Maybach came up from behind, the white headlights nearly blinding Jiang Tong.

The rear window slowly rolled down, she barely made out the person’s face.

It was Bao Nan.

"Are you heading back to Ao Garden Century?" A cool and indifferent voice sounded.

Jiang Tong was about to deny, but paused at that moment.

No...

If she said she was going to Shanshui City, her identity would be exposed, leading to more troubles.

So she nodded at Bao Nan, "Yeah, I’m heading back to Ao Garden Century."

"If you don’t mind, I can give you a lift."

"No need..."

Jiang Tong was about to refuse but was directly interrupted by Bao Nan.

"It’s an hour and a half’s journey back to Ao Garden Century from the villa district, you better get in my car."

Seeing him so persistent, Jiang Tong had nothing more to say.

If she continued to refuse, it would seem quite pretentious.

Besides, she just wanted to go back to Shanshui City to fetch some tools for tomorrow’s memorial, she could grab them tomorrow anyway.

Thinking this, Jiang Tong went around to the other side, opened the door, and squeezed into the Maybach.

In the spacious back seat, the two sat silently without a word.

Jiang Tong gazed dazedly out the window at the scenery.

Bao Nan, on the other hand, continuously observed her expression through the front rearview mirror.

Because of the court ball today, and now with no conversation between the two.

In such a quiet environment, Jiang Tong started to feel sleepy.

When you’re asleep, you’re unconscious, like she is now.

Her head tilted continuously to the left until it finally rested steadily on Bao Nan’s right shoulder.

Being suddenly leaned on like that, Bao Nan felt a bit nervous and didn’t know what to do.
