Chapter 2186: Chapter 2188: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi

But she was the local expert; why did he, a person who lost his passport and needed her protection, feel like he was orchestrating her actions from start to finish? Had they reversed roles?

Jiang Nuan felt frustrated with herself all the way.

Luckily, they quickly arrived home. She parked the car in the garage and started moving the stuff from the trunk inside.

"This house is my place in Mahali. Until we find your passport and suitcase, you can stay here temporarily. I’ll get the guest room ready for you."

Jiang Nuan was carrying a bunch of bags. Halfway through, the things in her hands were taken away, and the man who replaced her naturally walked beside her, carrying the items. "Mm."

Jiang Nuan’s hands were suddenly empty, which made her feel a bit awkward. But arguing back and forth seemed unnecessary, so she walked ahead, took out her keys, and opened the door.

She lived alone in a two-story small villa, which was spacious enough even with him here.

After entering, Jiang Nuan found a pair of brand new men’s slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them by his feet, then changed her shoes and walked inside.

"Come in. My place is small, don’t mind it too much. Just make do for now. You can leave your things at the entrance, and I’ll sort them out later. Are you thirsty? Would you like coffee or tea?"

Fu Yi gazed at the dark blue men’s slippers placed in front of him. His eyes were dark, and he didn’t even look up. "Tea."

He needed tea to cool down.

"Oh, okay, I’ll look for the tea can. You go in and have a seat first."

Jiang Nuan, wearing her slippers, went into the kitchen, rummaged around for a while, and finally found the tea can she had brought back from home, hidden in a dusty corner.

Looking pleased, she quickly boiled some water, made two cups of tea in mugs, and carried them out.

"Sorry, I don’t have special teacups at home, only my regular mugs. You can make do for now. If we don’t find your passport by tomorrow, I’ll go to the supermarket and buy some teacups."

Fu Yi, sitting on her pink loveseat with his long legs seemingly having nowhere to go, had them pressed against the coffee table.

Jiang Nuan quickly set the cups on the coffee table and awkwardly moved it aside a bit to make more space.

She explained apologetically, "I usually like to sit on the carpet to watch TV, so the coffee table and sofa are closer...."

She had never thought the sofa she bought was too small until someone sat on it, and she realized how... pink it was.

"If you’re uncomfortable, feel free to pull the coffee table away, no need to stand on ceremony. Just make yourself at home!"

Your home... Fu Yi felt a warmth spreading through his chest, ironing out the earlier tension that arose when he saw the men’s slippers from the shoe cabinet. It felt as if she easily soothed him, making him both frustrated and amused. Rubbing his temples, his gaze lightly drifted to a brightly colored piece of clothing on the left side of the sofa. "Um, aren’t you going to put that away?"

"Huh, what?" Following his gaze, Jiang Nuan saw the quirky lingerie Lemon had sent her from an online shopping site, resting triumphantly on the sofa. The sheer, almost transparent fabric seemed to challenge the limits of human shame. In her sight, Fu Yi picked it up, and the transparent lace silently floated in the air....

What a dilemma!

Jiang Nuan’s face turned beet red, even her ears felt like they were burning. She rushed over, snatched the items from his hand, and stammered, "I... I’ll put it away right away!"
