The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: The Way You Care About Me Makes My Heart Feel So Sweet

Lu Qingyan took a seat beside her.

Previously, Jiang Nanshu was crude and mercenary, malicious and brainless, thoroughly ruining the beauty of her appearance. She’d shame many high-born ladies she deemed came to seduce him, using her status as his fiancée.

Every day she’d clamor about having the wedding first, then registering the marriage.

On her eighteenth birthday, Old Sir Lu had forced him to attend.

Jiang Nanshu had prepared two glasses of drugged wine, one for her supportive sister Chen Qian and the other for Jiang Zhouye.

She gave one to Zhouye and was going to give the remaining glass to him, but when he discovered it, she pushed the blame onto a maid and slapped her viciously.

That maid resigned that very day.

And it was also from that day, Lu Qingyan was firm in his resolve to break off the engagement with Jiang Nanshu.

Even if Old Sir Lu disagreed, this time he wouldn’t give in.

Just that...

An accident had occurred.

The Jiang Nanshu in front of him seemed no longer the same person.

Yet she apparently still retained her original memories.

Seeing Jiang Nanshu motionless, he took out a bottle of medicine, along with cotton swabs, and the gauze specialized for dressing wounds.

"Do you need my help?" Lu Qingyan asked again.

Jiang Nanshu: "..."

She was determined to find Da Shachun and ask for a thorough explanation.

She coughed lightly, her pale cheeks blushing slightly, coquettishly said to Lu Qingyan, "No need for medicine, just a puff from Brother Qingyan will make it stop hurting."

The more he disliked such mushy behavior, the more Jiang Nanshu ramped up her efforts.

Lu Qingyan acted as if he heard nothing, seizing her hand and applying the ointment. The ointment felt ice-cold, so after a moment’s hesitation, he gently blew on it before carefully affixing the gauze over her wound.

Lu Qingyan looked up to see the shock in Jiang Nanshu’s eyes that she couldn’t hide.

His ears turned a bit warm, embarrassed...

This was the first time he had done such a thing.

The more nervous he was, the more indifferent his expression became, his affectionate, peach blossom eyes especially calm as his voice was cold, "Is this what you wanted?"

"..."

[Not at all! Isn’t this just shooting myself in the foot? How ridiculous...]

Jiang Nanshu kept her composure, withdrawing her hand and tossing the gauze Lu Qingyan had applied on the ground, her face scrunched up in a feigned grievance, but her tone was rather petulant, "So ugly. I want a band-aid with a strawberry pattern; this one is not pretty at all."

She smiled with eyes curving, "Brother Qingyan, could you go buy it again for me? I just want the ones you buy. The way you show that you care makes me feel so sweet inside."

[If you can tolerate this, then I’ll just have to use my ultimate move.]

Jiang Nanshu felt as though she had entered a fake novel, with the plot careening wildly and the major characters slightly breaking character. She feared that if time continued to progress, the story might spiral into madness...

And it would be beyond saving.

Lu Qingyan produced another one from his pocket, "Stick with this for now, I’ll take you to buy it after we eat."

Jiang Nanshu threw it on the ground again, "I said, it’s ugly. I don’t like it, and I don’t want to walk either. I only want the one you personally go out to buy, with a strawberry pattern."

She spoke naturally with a smile, oblivious to the nearby people who were too frightened to eat properly.

How could Jiang Nanshu dare!

The Lu Family Crown Prince was kind enough to buy her medicine, and she kept throwing his kindness onto the ground, time and again.

Did she really think the world revolved around her?

Acting like this, no wonder she was loathed by all!

They were silently counting when Lu Qing would simply walk away.

With someone like that, what was there to care about?

Yang Jiashu surreptitiously wiped away sweat.

This is...

He had never seen Lu Qingyan treat someone so well before.

Only this person seemed ungrateful, throwing all his kindness onto the ground.

No wonder the atmosphere seemed so strange just now.

He had thought it was something serious, but this was easy to solve.

Yang Jiashu stood up, his clean face smiling sincerely, nodding, "I get it, girls want pretty things, like stickers with strawberry or teddy bear patterns, pink butterfly hair clips, and fluffy stuffed toys. It’s just a strawberry-patterned band-aid; don’t bother Brother Yan, I’ll go buy it for you. Don’t be mad, Nanshu."

Jiang Nanshu’s apricot eyes blinked as she looked at him, a very clean young man indeed. In the book, he was a peacemaker, always mediating between Su Ran and Lu Qingyan, until he depressed himself and sought psychological counseling, feeling something was wrong with his values.

Thinking about this, Jiang Nanshu couldn’t help laughing.

Yang Jiashu touched his nose in vexation.

Why... Did he say something ridiculous?

Jiang Nanshu smiled at him, "No need, I want Lu Qingyan to go buy it himself."

She turned her head, her apricot eyes innocent, "Will you go?"

Yang Jiashu: "..."

What a waste of breath!

He tried to insist one more time, "No problem, I happen to be free, I..."

"Jiashu," Lu Qingyan spoke up.

Yang Jiashu fell silent.

Lu Qingyan stood up, his demeanor aloof and his peach blossom eyes indifferent, "Then wait here for me, I’ll go buy it."

Jiang Nanshu’s smile was radiant, "Mm-hmm, I like you the most."
