Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Daniu Gets Jealous!
Only after everyone in the small courtyard had left, did Zhao Lang stride down the stairs with his long legs, heading straight to Jiang Li’s room door.
Through the window, he saw the girl sitting at the table reading, her face slightly tilted down, serene and lovely. The book she cradled had been switched from “Zhou Yi” to another ancient text.
She really seemed like a girl who read extensively.
With that thought, Zhao Lang curled his knuckles and knocked on the door.
Jiang Li’s clear voice followed, “Who is it?”
“It’s me,” Zhao Lang said with a smile. “I’m not sure if Miss Jiang is available to let me in?”
“Come in,” she replied.
Zhao Lang was about to push the door open but turned back to glance at the camera behind him.
The corners of his eyes curved with a smile, a touch of mischievousness in his gaze, “Brother Xiao Xu, Miss Jiang and I have a private matter to discuss, please wait out here.”
Xiao Xu, perhaps thinking of something, blushed slightly at the ears, nodded hastily, and took a few steps back.
[Ah ah ah ah, Daniu is going to talk privately with Jiang Li? What private matters can’t they let us hear?!]
[Xiao Xu! Director Sun just told you yesterday not to miss any of the guest’s movements. Set the camera inside, I want to watch the live broadcast!]
[PD, you mustn’t be charmed by Daniu’s handsome appearance. All the performance of the “Plough-Ox” CP relies on you. How can you stand so far away?]
[What? Private conversation that can’t be filmed? Okay, I guess I’ll start spreading rumors then——]
The “CP” fans in the live room were all getting restless.
But Xiao Xu stood firmly by Zhao Lang’s instructions, not moving an inch.
Seeing this, Zhao Lang smiled with satisfaction, pushed the door open, walked in, and then closed it behind him.
Not leaving even the slightest gap.
Inside the room, Jiang Li closed her book and stood up when she saw him approach.
“Do you need something from me?”
Zhao Lang glanced at the book, but noticed that she was reading a poet’s collection, a bit surprised at first then nonchalantly moved his gaze away.
“I’ve been keeping an eye on the household next to Aunt Ying. No one has come out in these past two days, nor has there been any noise. So I went in, guess what?”
Jiang Li did not expect him to be in the mood for such a game at this time. She frowned slightly and did not play along with his words. Instead, she asked, “Did you go in by yourself? Are you hurt?”
Zhao Lang chuckled softly, “Is Miss Jiang concerned about me?”
Jiang Li nodded indifferently, “Take it as you will.”
“No worries, I’m perfectly fine. If I were injured, I wouldn’t be standing here now.”
Now it was Jiang Li’s turn to smile, “If you’re not injured, then that means those people have already left, right? And you found nothing in there?”
Zhao Lang’s mouth fell open in a moment’s shock before he gave a somewhat helpless shake of his head.
“I thought Miss Jiang was concerned about me, turns out she’s testing my words.”
Not falling into someone else’s logical trap, but instead making them unconsciously follow one’s own line of thought.
This Jiang Li’s mind really was sharp.
