The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 1318: Chapter 1318: Granny Says Distance Creates Beauty

Jian Dan left Mu Yi’s place and headed straight back to Li Garden. By the time she returned, Chu Liyuan hadn’t come home yet.

After taking a bath, Jian Dan went to the dining room for dinner.

"Madam, wouldn’t you like to wait for the young master to dine together?"

"Uncle?"

"Yes! The young master just called to say he’ll be home soon!"

"No, why should I wait for him? Damn, I’m not waiting for him. I’ll eat by myself!" Jian Dan, angry about what happened in the morning, protested.

Seeing Jian Dan’s demeanor, Jin immediately guessed her thoughts and didn’t say anything further, serving the dinner on the table.

Chu Liyuan entered the dining room just as Jian Dan was beginning to eat, "Jian Jian, why didn’t you wait for me?"

"Why should I wait for you?" she retorted.

The corners of Chu Liyuan’s mouth curved up, realizing Jian Jian must be upset about the morning’s events, and he gently touched her head, "It’s okay, Jian Jian, if you’re hungry, go ahead and eat!"

Chu Liyuan loosened the button of his suit and sat at the dining table, picking up the chopsticks and placing a piece of Jian Jian’s favorite dish into her bowl, "Eat more!"

"No need, I can pick up my own food!" Jian Dan moved her bowl aside.

"Fine! Then serve yourself!"

Chu Liyuan’s response made Jian Dan feel even more unhappy, pouting, with discontent written all over her face.

(There’s no helping it, dear audience, Jian Jian has indeed been spoiled by Uncle, so sometimes she acts a bit capricious. I hope you won’t criticize too harshly!)

After dinner, while Chu Liyuan was taking a bath, Jian Dan called Qiu Zimo and roughly explained the situation to him.

Qiu Zimo simply told Jian Dan three words: "Leave him hanging!"

Just as Jian Dan wanted to ask how exactly to do that, she saw that Uncle was about to come out of the bathroom and had to hastily hang up.

Leave him hanging?

The phrase kept echoing in Jian Dan’s mind...

Seeing Uncle lifting the blanket and preparing to get into bed, Jian Dan suddenly got out of bed.

"Jian Jian, what are you doing?"

"I’m sleeping in the study tonight!"

"Sleeping in the study?"

"Yes! There are some things at the company that need sorting out, it might get very late, so I’d rather sleep in the study to avoid disturbing Uncle’s rest," she said, ready to leave.

Chu Liyuan grabbed her, "Can’t whatever it is be dealt with tomorrow at the company? Does it have to be now?"

"Yes! It’s an emergency, it must be resolved tonight!"

"Jian Jian?"

"What? Anyway, I’ve made up my mind. Plus, Granny said that distance makes the heart grow fonder. I’m finding this saying very reasonable right now, so I’ve decided to listen to Granny and keep some distance from Uncle. We’ve been too close!" After freeing her hand from Chu Liyuan, she fled the room.

"Distance makes the heart grow fonder? Where’s the beauty in that? I don’t see any beauty at all," Chu Liyuan muttered, depressed, sitting back on the bed.

At this moment, he truly regretted everything; had he known this would be the outcome, he would have definitely taken Jian Jian’s side in the morning.

Sigh! It seems his male pride is nothing in front of Jian Jian.

If Jian Jian keeps ignoring him like this, he will truly go mad.

It was with great difficulty that he made it to dawn, ready to coax Jian Jian, but unexpectedly, when he went to the study, he found that Jian Jian’s form was long gone. Descending the stairs, he learned that Jian Yi had left early in the morning.

The calls and messages Chu Liyuan sent to Jian Jian all went unanswered.

As a result, Chu Liyuan was shrouded in gloom all day. Everyone who interacted with him today suffered the consequences, especially Li Jing, who didn’t know how many times he got reprimanded by Chu Liyuan, to the point that Li Jing felt like he was treated like a newcomer.
