Chapter 59: Never Letting Go

However, Jiang Haoen still did not let go.

Shi Zhaodi suddenly had no idea what to do.

In the end, Housekeeper Shi was the first to compromise.

"Young Master, I will go and bring the dinner over right now."

Then she walked up to Dora and invited her to join the Jiang family for dinner in the dining room.

"Thank you, Housekeeper!" Dora replied politely and graciously.

Before leaving, she cast a meaningful glance at Shi Zhaodi.

"Brother—" The room was suddenly left with only Jiang Haoen and Shi Zhaodi.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Shi Zhaodi raised her head to look at Jiang Haoen, asking with a hint of anxiety.

"We are not separating." Jiang Haoen looked down at Shi Zhaodi and gave his answer.

Shi Zhaodi had been somewhat dazed before, even though this was already the third time Jiang Haoen had said "We are not separating" tonight.

Only at this very moment did she truly understand what Jiang Haoen meant.

He was using her own method to acknowledge her status and to protest against the arrangements made by the heads of the Jiang family.

He wanted them to be together, and no one could ever tear them apart.

Therefore, even when Housekeeper Shi personally came to fetch her, he refused to loosen his grip on her hand.

Shi Zhaodi's heart instantly swelled to the brim with this deep devotion and tenderness, and she couldn't help but echo softly,

"We are not separating!"

That evening, Housekeeper Shi still had their dinner brought over.

Jiang Haoen and Shi Zhaodi ate dinner together at the square table in the room, just like they used to.

As she ate, Shi Zhaodi would occasionally raise her eyes to steal a glance at Jiang Haoen, as if she were still somewhat unsure whether everything that happened tonight was real.

Whenever Jiang Haoen looked up and happened to meet Shi Zhaodi's gaze, he would pick up a piece of food and place it in her bowl.

Every time this happened, Shi Zhaodi felt as though Jiang Haoen was treating her like a child who wanted candy.

Jiang Haoen ate with great focus and at a very slow pace, and for once, Shi Zhaodi followed suit, dragging out the meal just as slowly.

Of course, she also didn't forget to report on things at school to Jiang Haoen, almost as if she were talking to herself.

She simply omitted the matter of the head teacher calling her in for a talk.

After dinner was finished, the maid, Xiao Lin, cleaned up, picked up the tableware, and left.

Shi Zhaodi went back to doing her homework.

Earlier, when her mother asked her if she had finished, she knew her mother meant for her to go back with her.

That was why she had answered that she was done.

So now she had no choice but to finish the remaining assignments.

Once she finished her homework, she packed her schoolbag.

"Zhaodi—"

"Hmm?" Shi Zhaodi looked up at Jiang Haoen. This was one of the very few times since her childhood that she had heard Jiang Haoen call her by her name.

"Would you like to go abroad with me?" Jiang Haoen looked at her and asked.
