229: Chapter 225: Candlelight Dinner (Second Update!) (Vote for Recommendation!) 229: Chapter 225: Candlelight Dinner (Second Update!) (Vote for Recommendation!) Caught a taxi, Lin Tian was preparing to rush back to Guanlan Lake.

As for the Minghu Lakefront District, even though Xu Tangge was no longer angry, he still didn’t want to return there.

During the day, by chance, Xiangxiang had called him “Daddy” in front of others, and the two women must have had their thoughts, which he couldn’t explain clearly.

Going there would be inevitably awkward.

Taking advantage of this time to return to Guanlan Lake, he could continue refining and polishing the Devil-like Xiao Tian Wood Heart.

But halfway there, his mobile phone rang.

Jiann Xinzhu!

He took out his mobile phone and looked at the caller ID, Lin Tian was stunned.

It was already one o’clock at night, could she have an urgent matter?

With doubts in his mind, Lin Tian pressed the answer button.

“Sister Jiann, so late and still not resting?”

Lin Tian asked with a light laugh.

“Um…

Lin…

Lin Tian, are you okay?”

Jiann Xinzhu hesitated for a long time before stammering a response.

“Ah, I’m fine!

Sister Jiann, are you alright?”

Listening to Jiann Xinzhu’s hesitant tone on the phone, Lin Tian said, somewhat puzzled.

“That’s good, you should rest now, I’m hanging up!”

Jiann Xinzhu said and hurriedly hung up the phone.

What happened to Sister Jiann?

Lin Tian frowned, feeling that something was off.

Just as he was preparing to put away his mobile phone, it rang again.

It was still Jiann Xinzhu!

“Sister Jiann, is there something wrong?

Wait at home for me, I can come over now!”

Upon connecting the call, Lin Tian immediately said.

Jiann Xinzhu suddenly exclaimed, then said somewhat nervously, “You…

can you really come over?”

“Did those people directly come to your door?

Don’t go out, I’ll come over right now!”

Thinking that the cultivators might have indeed found Jiann Xinzhu’s place, and the mother and daughter could be in danger, Lin Tian, worried, hung up the phone and told the taxi driver to turn around and head to Jiann Xinzhu’s residence at top speed.

Ten minutes later.

Lin Tian arrived at the villa community where Jiann Xinzhu lived.

His Divine Sense spread out, enveloping the entire district, but he detected nothing unusual.

“What exactly is wrong with Sister Jiann?”

Thinking this, Lin Tian’s Divine Sense probed into Jiann Xinzhu’s villa.

However.

To his astonishment, Jiann Xinzhu was currently in the dining room, arranging some snacks with two bottles of red wine and a few candles placed beside her.

What is going on!

Perplexed, Lin Tian walked to the door and pressed the doorbell.

The door opened, and Jiann Xinzhu, seeing Lin Tian at the door, blushed and said somewhat nervously, “Lin…

Lin Tian, you really came…

can I still call you that?”

“Sister Jiann, you called, didn’t you?

Aren’t you going to invite me in?”

Seeing that Jiann Xinzhu was alright, Lin Tian relaxed and said with a smile.

“Okay okay…

come on in!”

Jiann Xinzhu pulled Lin Tian inside, somewhat flustered.

Seeing the other person like this, Lin Tian couldn’t help feeling surprised.

“Where is Xiangxiang?

It’s late at night, and Sister Jiann is still having a candlelight dinner!”

Lin Tian looked around and made sure there was nothing amiss in the villa, then he completely relaxed.

“She fell asleep.

However, after coming back, she has been talking about you all day!”

Jiann Xinzhu sighed lightly, then stared at Lin Tian and hesitated for a while before saying, “Lin Tian…

are you really an Immortal?”

“An Immortal?

Sister Jiann, you’re thinking too much!

It’s not easy to become an Immortal!”

Lin Tian smiled wryly, thought about it, and then explained, “People like me and the old man you saw at Sea City Group are generally called Cultivators.

We are all people who defy the heavens, wishing to achieve immortality and reach the Immortal Path!

We are still humans.

However, we have longer lifespans and powers beyond the Mortal World!”

“Sister Jiann, so you shouldn’t feel burdened, I am still me!

And it’s enough that you know about this!”

Hearing this, Jiann Xinzhu’s face showed a relieved smile, “I understand, you are still that Lin Tian!

Sit down and have a few drinks with Sister Jiann, just this once!”

“Sure!”

Lin Tian had never really drunk red wine before.

He hadn’t touched any alcohol even when he went to Tang Qianqian’s cousin’s birthday party, noticing two tall glasses on the table, which Jiann Xinzhu obviously planned to share a few drinks with him.

At this point, it wouldn’t be good to refuse her kindness.

As Lin Tian sat down at one end of the dining table, Jiann Xinzhu lit the candles, then sat down opposite him.

Red wine, tall glasses, red candles, pastries, the night, and the delicate face of the beautiful woman across the candlelight.

Lin Tian couldn’t help but feel that everything in front of him was somewhat romantic and beautiful.

He had never experienced it, but was amazed to find such warmth in just having a drink.

“You’ve drunk quite a bit of this red wine, haven’t you?”

Jiann Xinzhu thought of Lin Tian’s status, figuring he must have encountered far more than she had and could not be seen through the same initial perspective.

However, Lin Tian shook his head and said, “I’ve actually never drunk this stuff!”

Never drunk it?

Perhaps someone as elevated as him wouldn’t see the appeal of red wine.

Surprised for a moment, Jiann Xinzhu poured Lin Tian some wine and said, “Maybe you’ll find it unusual.

But you should savor the red wine slowly, and you’ll be able to appreciate your favorite flavor.”

“I’ll try it!”

Lin Tian clinked his glass with Jiann Xinzhu’s and took a small sip.

A bit sour, a bit sweet, a bit bitter, a bit spicy…

All these flavors lingered on his taste buds.

Gradually, Lin Tian began to like it.

And as a Cultivator, he could drink as much as he wanted and never get drunk.

But he neglected the fact that Jiann Xinzhu opposite him was just an ordinary person, and he didn’t notice that she was drinking large quantities quickly.

Soon, Jiann Xinzhu showed a slight hint of drunkenness.

“Lin Tian…

aren’t you curious about my family?”

Suddenly, Jiann Xinzhu raised her head and said to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian’s face remained unchanged, without any sign of drunkenness, and he looked at Jiann Xinzhu, who had a flushed and stunning face, and smilingly said, “I was curious before, but you and Xiangxiang seem pretty happy; at least you’ve made it through!”

“I was married!”

Jiann Xinzhu pursed her lips, showing a bitter smile, “Just that, five years ago on the night I got married, that man had an accident on the way to the wedding, and he left me alone!

Others say I’m a husband-destroyer…”

Saying so, Jiann Xinzhu’s eyes began to redden, she sighed with the sorrow in her heart evident in her words, “It was his own accident, how did it become my fault?

To this day, I still don’t even know what it’s like to be a woman!”

What it’s like to be a woman?

Like me, still a virgin?

Lin Tian, surprised, paused for a moment, then said, “Then…

what’s the story with Xiangxiang?”

“She’s the child of a good university friend.

Xiangxiang was just a few months old at the time, but my friend’s parents had died young, and her boyfriend, despite having a child, still abandoned them!

Eventually, she succumbed to depression and passed away!”

Saying this, Jiann Xinzhu lightly bit her lip, and the tears brimming in her beautiful eyes quietly streaked down her delicate cheeks, she sighed softly, “Her fate was much harsher than mine!

Xiangxiang had no one to take care of her, and I didn’t want her to go to an orphanage, so I took her in to raise her as my own, and she took my surname afterward!”

So that was it!

Lin Tian finally understood, and at that moment, he realized that Jiann Xinzhu’s life was even harder than he had imagined.
