Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Not Afraid of Ten Thousand, Only Afraid of ’What If’ (1)_1
Han Jingnian left early in the morning, not for any official business, but to stand downstairs and intercept the courier?
He had always been very strict, especially after the male members of the Han family passed away one after another. The only ones left to rely on were Han Jingnian and Han Zhijin. Han Zhijin, though seemingly always scolded and punished by Han Jingnian, was never exposed to any areas of danger or darkness.
To the entire Han family, Han Jingnian was the one holding up the sky.
Once he recognized this truth when he was young, he never allowed himself to slacken. Yet this time, because of the delivery she received yesterday, he broke an appointment with a client who had already been scheduled. This kind of error, almost as if he were brain-dead, was perhaps the first of its kind in Han Jingnian’s life?
Was it her nightmare from last night that left him feeling anxious and at a loss? Was he afraid that she would be utterly frightened upon receiving such a terrifying delivery?
In fact, her mental fortitude wasn’t that weak. It was just that the scene in the delivery box was too bloody and horrific, leaving a shadow over her. As a result, she dreamed about it at night after thinking about it during the day. When she woke up today, although she still felt a bit uncomfortable, it wasn’t a big deal after self-regulation...
So, her casual nightmare weighed so heavily on his heart that he was worried she would receive another terrifying parcel and thus, ran downstairs first thing in the morning?
No matter his identity or his time, such behavior should not occur. But he just did it...Should this be called stupidity, or should it be said that even someone detached from the mundane world could eventually become worldly and confused out of concern for someone?
The worry that Xia Wan’an felt when she went downstairs turned into being touched. It filled her chest tightly and choked her throat so much that her eyes welled up with acid.
When the courier entered the apartment building, Han Jingnian returned to the spot under the begonia tree.
Standing there casually like a statue, one couldn’t deny that his appearance and demeanor were indeed excellent. Even while doing such a menial task, he was still pleasing to the eye. However, despite the distance, Xia Wan’an could still notice the faint dark circles under his eyes and exhaustion on his face... While she had slept exceptionally well last night, him... had he not slept at all?
Xia Wan’an pursed her lips, feeling the sourness in her throat intensify.
She didn’t stay in the lobby for too long. She quietly avoided Han Jingnian’s gaze, stepped into the elevator, and went home.
Soon enough, the doorbell rang. As the courier arrived to deliver the parcel, Xia Wan’an thought of the conversation between Han Jingnian and the courier downstairs. Her fingers trembled terribly while signing. After calming her emotions and signing her name, a mist formed in her eyes. She raised her hand, covered her eyes, and when the courier was about to leave, she halted him: "Could you please do me a favor?"
"Miss, what can I do for you?"
"Well, when you leave, can you tell the gentleman who stopped you earlier that the lady on the 27th floor seems to be going out...Remember, make it seem casual, like you’re just making small talk..."
While the courier responded, "Okay," he was actually perplexed: could anyone tell him what was really going on in this household? Why were their actions all so strange?
(Sister An made Han Jingnian in the comic indeed become more down-to-earth~hehe~)
