Chapter 51: Chapter 051 I Am Behind You

An hour and a half later, the Maybach came to a steady stop at the entrance of Ao Garden Century.

Jiang Tong rubbed her eyes, her left hand resting on Bao Nan’s shoulder, and opened her eyes bewilderedly.

Turning her head, she bumped right into Bao Nan’s handsome face.

"Bao... Bao Nan?" she stuttered.

Upon hearing this, Bao Nan looked down at her, "Mm, I’m here."

Jiang Tong was stunned, she vaguely remembered that she fell asleep because she was too tired.

How did she end up hanging on Bao Nan when she woke up, and was covered with his clothes?

This is just... too easy to misunderstand!

Seeing her face all twisted in confusion, Bao Nan chuckled lightly, "I was afraid you’d get cold, so I covered you with an extra layer."

Since he said that, Jiang Tong couldn’t say much more and awkwardly climbed off his right shoulder.

"Thank you."

"You’re welcome."

They exchanged polite greetings, but Jiang Tong inadvertently glanced at Bao Nan’s right shoulder.

The foundation and lipstick on his white shirt, there was no need to guess whose handiwork it was.

"Um... sorry, I can help you clean it," she said, her face already half red.

Bao Nan glanced at his right shoulder and shook his head, "It’s okay."

"Come on, let me help you wash it..."

"It’s really okay."

Jiang Tong opened her mouth, but ultimately couldn’t win over him.

"Then when I have time, I’ll get you a new one."

This was the best solution.

Bao Nan nodded slightly, agreeing to this suggestion.

Jiang Tong sighed in relief, rubbing her hands together, "In that case, I’ll head up first..."

Upon hearing her words, Bao Nan frowned slightly.

He was planning to return to Shanshui City tonight.

But recently, the hallway light on their floor was broken, so he should walk her up first.

Jiang Tong was about to get out of the car when Bao Nan called out, "I’ll walk you up."

"Ah, no..."

She was just about to refuse when Bao Nan got out of the car and opened the door on her side.

"The hallway light is broken, it’s very dark and not safe."

Since he said that, Jiang Tong couldn’t find a reason to refuse, so she nodded.

Then the two of them walked one after the other in the hallway of the community.

Halfway through, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Tong.

She turned her head and saw Bao Nan holding his phone, lighting the way for her.

"The light on this stretch is broken, I’ll give you some light."

Seeing her look of surprise, Bao Nan explained indifferently.

Jiang Tong looked at him with complicated feelings but remained in place.

"Keep walking, I’m right behind you."

Bao Nan’s words stirred her heart slightly.

She lowered her eyes, slightly moving her lips, and walked forward.

After that, they didn’t say another word along the way.

A few minutes later, Bao Nan successfully escorted Jiang Tong to her doorstep.

"Thank you." Jiang Tong’s body was half through the doorframe, waving to him, "Goodnight."

Bao Nan’s cool eyes flickered slightly, his voice unconsciously softened, "Goodnight."

After they exchanged goodnights, Jiang Tong withdrew herself inside.

Bao Nan stood in the hallway for quite a while before slowly moving and returning to the Maybach.

"Young Master, are we heading back to Shanshui City?" the driver leaned in to ask.

"Mm."

Bao Nan rubbed his temples, leaned back on the seat, and responded coolly.

He had to go back to Shanshui City tonight.

Because...

The driver sighed, turned the car around.

He couldn’t understand why the young master wanted to travel back and forth like this, how exhausting.
