NovelEnglishChapter 230: 170 Second Master vs. Young Master Xie, Fifth Master's divine assists are too many Jiang Family's Study The setting sun slanted downward, and the sunlight that entered from the window carried a heavy touch.
Jiang Yanting and Xie Duo sat opposite each other, as the water for tea boiled fiercely. Though neither spoke, the air between them was tense as if filled with drawn swords and ready crossbows.
When the water boiled, Jiang Yanting filled the empty cup in front of him with boiling water, causing the tea leaves to unfurl and dance instantly.
"Thank you," said Xie Duo, his tall figure relaxed with legs casually crossed. When their gazes collided, neither flinched visibly, yet sparks seemed to fly.

"Not bad," the ceramic cup received the hot water and seethed. Xie Duo gently twirled the cup with his fingertips, "I heard you and my sister met for a marriage interview a few days ago..." "Given Mr. Xie's graciousness, it was truly hard to decline." Xie Duo raised an eyebrow, "You mean to say, the marriage interview was something our Xie Family fervently sought? You went because it was impossible to refuse? So, you look down on our Xie Family?" "You are overthinking it. If I really looked down on you, I wouldn't have battled you for so many years. People I truly despise, I wouldn't even spare a glance." Xie Duo chuckled, "So, as your opponent, should I feel honored?" "Just mutual respect." "What is your view on that previous marriage interview?" The Xie Family ctoday indeed for that matter, as since the interview, it seemed the two had not contacted each other again. The Xie Family was naturally anxious and used the New Year gift-giving excuse to probe.
"Are you asking about my attitude towards that person?" Jiang Yanting sipped his hot tea.
"Could it be you've taken a fancy to my sister?" Xie Duo chuckled lightly. In Beijing, Jiang Yanting and his sister had long been acquainted. If there were any real interest, it wouldn't have taken until now.
"She's..." Jiang Yanting clutched his cup, "quite alright." They say the one who knows you best might not be your parents or friends, but your enemy. Hearing Jiang Yanting say these words, Xie Duo's eyes momentarily flashed, seemingly in disbelief that such words cfrom him.
"Actually..." Xie Duo stroked his cup, fingertips burning, "maybe you two are not suited for each other." "You say so, but if your grandfather hears, I'm afraid you'll die a miserable death." "I'm just giving you a heads-up." After all, if something real were to develop, it would involve both families. At this moment, he wasn't clear if the two were old acquaintances or not; he simply expressed his opinion based on his own understanding.
Just then, someone knocked on the door, Xie Duo chuckled, "Your brother has come." "Cin," even before Jiang Yanting finished speaking, Jiang Jinsang appeared at the doorway.
"Mr. Xie." Because he and Jiang Yanting typically didn't get along, Jiang Jinsang treated him very politely. "Long tno see, you seem to be in good health." "Thank you." The three in the study created a chaotic scene until Xie Tongtong sent a message to remind Xie Duo it was tto leave. Then Jiang Yanting personally saw the Xie siblings to their car and sent them off.
"Brother, do you think Jiang Yanting is serious?" The Xie side wasn't clear on Jiang Yanting's attitude. Although the Jiang Family had shown interest, no one could guarantee it was merely a courtesy.
"Um," Xie Duo nodded, "Tellagain everything about the last interview."

Xie Duo understood Jiang Yanting too well; their private conversation today was very abnormal. Hechad said srather harsh words, not typical for adults, unlike during schooling years when they might engage in outright aggression-it was just a spat of words. Normally, he would have retorted bluntly since he also had a sharp tongue, but today he acted out of character, his attitude exceptionally gentle.
There must be something amiss when things deviate from the norm...
There must be something between these two individuals.

After seeing off the Xie Family, Jiang Yanting complained of a headache, drank a few sips of soup, and then returned to his room to rest. Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan had dinner and then went out for a walk. Tang Yunxian watched the two intently until they left the house, with Jiang Jinsang still feeling his gaze cold on his back.
Once they stepped out, a chill wind blew, sending shivers through their bodies, and Tang Wan couldn't help but shiver. Her hand was then grasped.
"Are you cold?" Jiang Jinsang's voice was scattered by the cold wind, soft, yet cold.
"I'm alright."
