My love-brained brothers spoil me to the skies

Chapter 214 The most familiar stranger

A gust of cool autumn wind blew into the bedroom from the window, causing Nangong Jin, who was originally sleeping soundly, to shiver suddenly and slowly open his eyes.

She habitually stretched out her left hand and touched her side, but the cold mattress without any body temperature made her unable to help but turn her head to look, "Huh? Where is he? Why did he get up so early?"

Nangong Jin glanced at the windowsill with sleepy eyes. The sun was shining warmly on the balcony. She threw back the quilt and quickly washed up.

"We need to go down quickly and cook something for him."

Nangong Jin quickly packed himself up, then trotted downstairs and looked around. Only the servants were busy in the living room, and there was no sign of He Zichen.

She stopped the maid who was cleaning with a bit of disappointment, "Where's He Zichen?"

"Miss, the young master went back to the company with the old master early in the morning."

Nangong Jin felt a little confused after hearing this. Why did he suddenly go back to work when his body hadn't recovered yet? And he didn't even mention this to her last night?

In this way, Nangong Jin waited at home absent-mindedly all day long. Fortunately, they finally came back at noon.

As soon as Nangong Jin heard the sound coming from the door, he immediately trotted out of the kitchen to greet him.

But she soon stopped, her hands tightly clenching her apron, looking at the man and woman who were walking towards her arm in arm, talking and laughing.

The other party seemed to have just noticed Nangong Jin's presence. He just glanced at her indifferently and walked past her.

"He Zichen, it's time to eat..."

Nangong Jin didn't know how he managed to suppress the heartache and said these words calmly.

"Well, I understand." The other party's voice was distant, but soon his voice sounded again, "Xue'er, you are tired today, sit down and eat."

His tone was very gentle, completely different from his usual self. Even Qi Xue felt flattered. "Got it, Brother Zichen."

Nangong Jin's body was a little stiff, and she tried hard to adjust her breathing. She walked into the kitchen with a smile, brought out the food, and placed it on the table one by one.

"Xue'er, come and have some soup."

"Oh, thank you, Brother Zichen."

Listening to their intimate interaction, Nangong Jin kept his head down, eating in silence, his face looking a little pale.

"I have something to announce. Next month, I will be engaged to Cher."

"Clang!"

The bowl that Nangong Jin was holding fell to the ground, and she looked at the man in front of her with disbelief.

The servants quickly squatted on the ground to clean up. Nangong Jin felt that she was hallucinating. She clenched her fists, pretended not to hear anything, and stood up to go into the kitchen.

"I'm sorry, my hand slipped, I'll try again..."

"Ms. Nangong Jin, I will issue a statement tomorrow to cancel my engagement with you," he said with a calm expression, looking at Nangong Jin without any ripples in his eyes, but full of strangeness.

"In order not to cause trouble to Xue'er, could you please move out of the Lin family as soon as possible?"

Qi Xue was also shocked by his words, "Brother Zichen, are you telling the truth?" She was too excited, her voice was unusually sharp, and her hands were shaking constantly.

He Zichen turned his head, smiled and held her hand, "Of course, by then, you will definitely be the most beautiful bride."

Nangong Jin's eyes were filled with tears. She stared at the handsome and beautiful couple who were talking and laughing. She felt that she must be dreaming. It must be true. That person was definitely not He Zichen. He would not treat her like this...

She bit her lips tightly, and tried to come up with all kinds of excuses in her mind over and over again. Her hands and feet were out of control, and she wanted to escape but couldn't move. Until she saw...

He Zichen turned sideways and held Qi Xue in his arms. From Nangong Jin's perspective, they were kissing.

“I…I understand. I…wuwuwu…” Nangong Jin tried his best to cover his mouth and spoke intermittently: “I…will leave!”

When her tears burst out, she finally escaped from here and ran back to her room. As the door closed, she leaned against the door and slid to the ground weakly. The heart-wrenching pain made her burst into tears.

"This is obviously the result I wanted, why does my heart hurt so much... wuwuwu..."

Tears blurred her eyes and the emotional breakdown made her head hurt violently. She could only curl up on the floor and shut herself off.

At this moment, the two people at the table had returned to normal the moment Nangong Jin left. Qi Xue looked at He Zichen with a blushing face.

"Brother Zichen, you just..."

"It's okay, eat quickly."

Qi Xue looked at the man who was moody towards her, with some confusion in her eyes. Why didn't he kiss me just now? Could it be...

Just like that, Nangong Jin didn't leave the room all day and didn't eat anything. The servant came downstairs carrying the cold food and ran into He Zichen.

He glanced at the food on the plate, motionless, with worry in his eyes, but that emotion was fleeting and no one noticed.

"Master, the young lady..."

"Send food up every two hours. Don't worry if she eats it or not."

After saying that, he went straight upstairs. The servant looked at his back and couldn't help but murmur in his heart: They were so inseparable yesterday, why did they change so suddenly today?

It was an autumn night, the dew was heavy, and Nangong Jin, who was curled up on the floor, was awakened by a chill. She struggled to open her red and swollen eyes, and the soreness in her eyes made her clearly understand that everything that happened today was not a dream, but real.

She supported herself on the floor with both hands and stood up unsteadily. Perhaps because she had vented all the emotions that needed to be vented, she was now unusually calm.

Everything was going according to her idea. She had no reason to look for He Zichen. Now she was just leaving early. It was no big deal. Nangong Jin, just get used to it...

She quickly packed her things, opened the door without hesitation, picked up her luggage, and went downstairs.

Nangong Jin stood in the living room and looked at the time. It was five o'clock in the morning. She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then walked towards the kitchen.

The servants were already busy at this time. When they saw her, they were a little surprised. "Miss, are you hungry? I will help you..."

"No need, just do your thing, I can do it myself..."

The servant looked at her red and swollen eyes and did not disturb her anymore.

After a while, a fresh and sweet aroma wafted from the kitchen. The servants knew it was the shrimp and crab porridge that the young master loved the most.

Nangong Jin walked towards her and said, "The porridge will be ready after a while. Don't put too much salt. I'll trouble you to take care of him in the future. I'm leaving now."

"Miss, don't you want to eat something? You haven't eaten for a day. And where are you going?"

She anxiously tried to hold the other person back, but he just walked out the door without even looking back.

After a while, He Zichen came out of the lounge, and the servant hurried forward, "Master, Master, the young lady has left. Are you hungry? I'll go get you some porridge..."

"You go ahead and do your work. I'll do it myself."

He went straight to the kitchen and stayed there for a long, long time...
