The four maids were talkative people, which was very different from their usual quiet demeanour when they were by Jiang Xiao's side. The four maids immediately chattered to Lu An about Jiang Xiao's hobbies and things to pay attention to. Of course, Lu An only listened to it once and did not really remember it.
In fact, he was not interested in Jiang Xiao's hobbies and only listened to it to grasp some of Jiang Xiao's characteristics. As he listened, he was also thinking about his own matters. He was thinking about when to leave Jiangshou Star and return to Heavenly Star River to tell Fu Yu about the Ning Clan.
After Ning Ji left, Lu An would also choose to leave. Jiang Xiao would have to cooperate with his actions and would not be able to stop him from disappearing. In fact, his meeting with the Ning Clan's people this time was already a huge weakness for Jiang Xiao. At least Ning Ji already knew that he had sacrificed his spiritual consciousness to Jiang Xiao. If he showed any signs of disobeying Jiang Xiao's orders or rebelling against Jiang Xiao, Ning Ji would immediately suspect him. And if Ning Ji confirmed that Jiang Xiao was lying to him … no normal man would allow a man with his own consciousness to be so close to his wife. He would definitely break off the engagement with Jiang Xiao immediately.
In other words, Jiang Xiao would not dare to order him to do anything too excessive. Otherwise, if he could not resist showing any signs of rebellion, everything would fail. Not to mention Jiang Xiao, even the Jiang Clan would have to bear the Ning Clan's wrath.
To Lu An's surprise, not long after, Jiang Xiao and Ning Ji walked out of the courtyard. Jiang Xiao ordered the four maids, "You, and you, come with us."
Jiang Xiao pointed to one of the maids, and the other person was Lu An.
Ning Ji was startled to see Lu An leave with them. After all, Lu An was a man, but he quickly felt relieved. This man was in the Heaven Realm; it would not be bad to have him by their side to protect them. Who knows, it might even save them some work.
Lu An naturally would not refuse. He and the maids followed behind the two and soon disappeared from the palace. They even left Jiangshou Star.
Because Jiang Xiao did not develop her own forces, there were not many people on Jiangshou Star, and there were not many interesting things. Most of the interesting things had to go to the public stars. Jiang Xiao was not someone who liked to show her face in public, so not many people knew that she was the eldest daughter of the Jiang clan. As for Ning Ji … … no one knew that he was the young master of a top clan. The four of them went through the Teleportation Array and arrived at a very large star in the Spirit Star River. They arrived at a very large city.
This star was one of the top five stars that were publicly known to the Spirit Race. The fact that this city was one of the top three cities that were open to all Astrals was a testament to how large the city was and how much entertainment there was.
Jiang Xiao and Ning Ji had been playing around, and Lu An had been following behind them, observing them. Lu An could see that Jiang Xiao really liked Ning Ji, but compared to Ning Ji's feelings for Jiang Xiao, it was a far cry.
Jiang Xiao looked at Ning Ji with fondness, but this fondness was not precious. It was like fondness for a treasure. Ning Ji looked at Jiang Xiao with eyes full of love. It was true love.
In other words, Ning Ji really loved Jiang Xiao, but Jiang Xiao just liked Ning Ji and didn't love him. It was only because of Ning Ji's identity that Jiang Xiao was willing to marry Ning Ji … … Even her fondness for him might be because of Ning Ji's identity.
Along the way, Ning Ji was very proactive with Jiang Xiao, and although Jiang Xiao responded every time, it was obvious that she was the passive party. And in a relationship, the passive party was often the active party. Jiang Xiao had a very precise grasp of propriety. She ensured that Ning Ji would be happy with her response, and also ensured that her proud and noble side was as noble as a goddess in front of Ning Ji, making Ning Ji love her very much.
In other words, Jiang Xiao was deliberately keeping Ning Ji in suspense. She was using tricks to talk about feelings, and not using her true feelings.
Lu An had already had a family, so naturally, he could see through Jiang Xiao's various tricks. Perhaps it was because the person involved couldn't see clearly, but Lu An could see that Ning Ji didn't have the slightest awareness.
But this was nothing, as long as Ning Ji was happy, it was enough.
After playing for about a day, everything went smoothly. The security of this big city was very high, and no one deliberately caused trouble. But Ning Ji did not return to Jiangshou Planet with Jiang Xiao. Jiang Xiao let Ning Ji go back because if he stayed with her, the Ning clan might be unhappy.
And this, was also Jiang Xiao's trick.
Being neither close nor distant, gave Ning Ji a feeling of dissatisfaction, and made Ning Ji's heart unable to be completely satisfied. Only then could Ning Ji maintain a sense of novelty.
Although reluctant to part, Ning Ji still left. Jiang Xiao brought the maids and Lu An back to Jiangshou Planet. The four maids were waiting outside the courtyard, and Jiang Xiao faced Lu An in front of the four maids and said coldly, "I'm tired from walking, come in and massage my feet."
"Yes, Eldest Miss." Lu An said.
The four maids watched Lu An follow the Eldest Miss into the palace, and could not help but shake their heads. They would only serve the Eldest Miss' daily needs, but they would not do things like massaging feet. Chu Xing was in the Heaven Realm, and his Spiritual Consciousness Sacrifice was too terrifying.
However … …
Lu An did not feel dissatisfied in his heart, because he knew that Jiang Xiao's original intention was not like this, and should not have let him do this. She just found an excuse to let him into the palace to talk.
Sure enough, after entering the palace, Jiang Xiao went straight to a chair and sat down. Lu An was the same, and did not need Jiang Xiao's consent at all. Jiang Xiao did not mention the foot massage again, but asked Lu An, "How was it, was the person who hurt you Ning Clan?"
"I don't know." Lu An shook his head and said, "Although I don't know if the other party was wearing plain clothes at the time, but it was indeed not Ning Clan's clothes."
After hearing Lu An's answer, Jiang Xiao also felt relieved. She was most worried that Chu Xing's enemy was Ning Clan, as long as it was not Ning Clan, everything was fine.
"Then did you find any clues?" Jiang Xiao asked again.
"How could it be so easy?" Lu An said in a deep voice, "I didn't do anything, just followed you all all day, where would I have the chance to find any clues?"
"Oh?" Jiang Xiao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why? Are you jealous? "
Jiang Xiao's voice was obviously teasing, and so was her eyes. However, Lu An frowned slightly and said, "Your method is useful for Ning Ji, but it is not useful for me. I have no interest in you."
"…"
Hearing Lu An's words, Jiang Xiao was slightly startled, but then she smiled and said without hesitation, "I didn't expect you to be so understanding of feelings, to be able to see through the methods I used on him."
"Stay calm, there is nothing that can't be seen." Lu An said.
"Is that so?" Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "Then do you know how clever my methods are? If I said … until now, he has not slept in the same bed with me, would you believe me? "
Lu An frowned and said, "I have no interest in you, and I have no interest in your affairs. Don't talk to me about this kind of thing in the future."
"…"
Jiang Xiao's face changed when she heard this, and she looked at the man in front of her with dissatisfaction.
"I have something to do, so I will leave now. You can find a reason yourself." Lu An ignored Jiang Xiao's mood, got up and said, "I don't know when I will be back, at least five days, at most half a month."
After he finished speaking, Lu An walked towards the door with large strides. He didn't even bid farewell and directly left the palace.
Looking at the man's disappearing figure, Jiang Xiao was so angry that she wanted to stomp her feet.
However, after Jiang Xiao was angry for a while, she was suddenly startled, as if she had realized something.
In her past relationships, whether it was with Ning Ji or other people, she had always taken the initiative, using all kinds of methods to control a man's mentality, controlling a man's feelings. But this time, in front of Chu Xing, she had to admit that all her methods were useless, and she had lost completely. The more she lost, the more she wanted to succeed. Thus, she kept showing goodwill to this man, and even … changed clothes in front of him.
This … was this really something she could do?
Only then did she react, was she being controlled by Chu Xing, and her emotions being controlled by Chu Xing?
Damn it!
Jiang Xiao bit her lips, she did not expect that she, who had always controlled men, would be controlled by a man because of her unwillingness to admit defeat!
No!
Jiang Xiao could not take this lying down, no matter what, she had to find a chance to turn the situation around!
