After escaping with his bestie, the gloomy villain turned darker!

After the video was connected, what came into view was a spacious room with exquisite decorations. From the crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling to the hand-woven Persian carpets on the floor, every detail exuded a luxurious and low-key artistic atmosphere.

Facing her was a handsome man sitting in a wheelchair. His nose was high and straight, with smooth lines, which formed a sharp contrast with his pale skin. His lips were thin and tightly closed, revealing a hint of imperceptible fragility.

His skin was so pale that it was almost transparent, as if it would break at the slightest touch. This sickly paleness formed a strange harmony with his handsome features, which made people feel pity for him.

At this moment, Ning Huaiqin's posture was elegant and natural, with one hand casually placed on his knee and the other hand gently stroking an oil painting beside him. His gaze slowly shifted from the painting to the camera.

"I'm sorry to trouble you."

Ning Huaiqin was wearing a simple white shirt with the collar slightly open, revealing his delicate collarbone and elegant neck line. After seeing such a "beautiful scene", it was hard for Jiang Cha not to take a few more glances.

"Um...what's the trouble?"

She didn't hear clearly what was said on the other end. After a second of blankness in her mind, she forced her gaze to look at the oil painting in the man's hand.

There is a painting of several boys playing ball outdoors. One boy is sweating as he prepares to shoot. The oil painting just freezes him in the air, making him look very energetic.

"It's my grandma. She put pressure on your friend to have you come to her birthday party."

Ning Huaiqin didn't care about her distraction, but continued to explain in a gentle tone: "I've already told her that if you don't want to, you don't have to come."

"Oh, it's okay, just go and join in the fun."

Since I have already accepted the invitation, I might as well make good use of the banquet resources. Jiang Cha will naturally not do anything without profit.

"Xia City has been in turmoil recently, and your welfare home may become a target of attack. I will send you some bodyguards, and I hope you won't refuse."

"Huh? When?"

"About a month later, but the exact time is unclear."

"Thank you. Are you planning to invest in my small orphanage?"

"Well, I'll call you as many as you need."

"......"

Seeing him so straightforward, Jiang Cha felt a little embarrassed. She coughed lightly and whispered, "Invest 10 million first. I will definitely carve your name on the most conspicuous notice wall of the welfare home so that they can all..."

"Need not."

He lowered his brows, a trace of sadness drifting across his face. "I'm a dying man, and it would be unlucky to put this up there. Just write your name."

"How could that be? Your illness might be curable. I saw on the news that someone with a terminal illness could live to be over 80. You can definitely do the same!"

"Thank you for your comfort. Don't be sad. I accepted my fate when I was fifteen. I just have some regrets that I'm afraid will never be fulfilled in my lifetime."

He seemed increasingly lonely, and although it looked as if he was pretending, he still made people feel pity for him.

After all, Jiang Cha has a guy with acting skills at the level of an Oscar winner. That guy always pretends to be pitiful, and she is used to it. But this guy is different. He is indeed a terminally ill patient who will not live long.

Even though she knew that this person was trying to get her sympathy, she still couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

"What regret?"

"It's just... I want to know what it's like to be like a pair of wings in the sky and a pair of branches on the ground."

"You want to be in a relationship? Haven't you ever liked a girl before? Have you never been in a relationship?"

"......"

Jiang Cha's three straightforward questions made the other party blush, and he even started to use the remote control to turn off the screen.

"Ahem, I'm going to go out and relieve myself."

Fengying held back his smile as he handed the phone to Jiang Cha, turned around and slipped out of the car.

Jiang Cha felt a little embarrassed when he remembered what question he had asked just now, "Um..."

"Well, I think, no, we haven't talked about it."

After he took a long breath, he actually answered her seriously.

"I know you don't like being bound by constraints, and you don't like using marriage as a bargaining chip. It was me who insisted on agreeing to this marriage, so my grandma has been pestering you... Thank you for speaking up for me in front of my grandma that day."

"It's okay, as long as you understand."

Jiang Cha was a little dazed. In this day and age, could he still see such a "simple" young master from a wealthy family?

She doesn't believe it!

"I have talked about it. I even...broke up."

Jiang Cha was about to say that he was divorced, but luckily he stopped and changed his words.

Ning Huaiqin chuckled, "It's good that you have experience, you can teach me well."

His original intention was to prevent his grandmother from causing trouble for Jiang Cha, but he inadvertently observed her for two months and even couldn't help but investigate her past.

It turned out that her first twenty-one years were a blank. She had never been to school and was rarely seen. There were even rumors that she was a fool.

After a car accident a few months ago, she woke up and became good sisters with Dalgo Tiana. It all happened so suddenly, but because her mother was the nanny of the Dalgo family, no one cared about it.

When I heard her say that they had broken up just now, this strange feeling became even stronger, as if someone with memories from a previous life suddenly woke up.

"Teach you how to fall in love?"

"You can't really say that. Just help me find the feeling of love. Before I die, as long as you succeed, all my inheritance will be yours."

“How do I know what success looks like?”

“As long as I’m willing to cook that person a home-cooked meal, then it’s a success.”

"So simple?"

"Ah."

Jiang Cha looked at him in disbelief. There must be some conspiracy behind this.

"Why are you looking for me?"

"Maybe it's because you're the first person who has physical contact with me without rejecting me."

"Then can you help me cook a meal now?"

"......"

"Just kidding. What you mean is, I can do it myself or call someone else. As long as you are willing to cook a meal for that person, it means that your love has sprouted?"

"Ah."

Ning Huaiqin's eyes showed a hint of cunning, and he said calmly: "I can't smell the smell of oil smoke. It makes me sick, and in serious cases, I will faint."

Ginger Tea: “…”

I know there's no such thing as a free lunch.

"You saved my life, and I trust you very much, so I want to hand over the regrets of this life to you."

"It doesn't matter if you fail. After I die, I will give you a reward of 1 billion. You can sign a contract for anything you ask for."

"My only request is that you become my fiancée first, so that my grandma will stop tormenting me."

Seeing her hesitation, Ning Huaiqin suddenly started coughing.

After a while, he coughed up a large mouthful of blood. The red blood stains at the corners of his mouth made him look even more fragile. "It's okay. It's okay if you don't want to. It's good to die with regrets. After all, no life is perfect."

Ginger Tea: “…”

There was a feeling that something was not right when she said this, but it was indeed a good thing for her.
