ARDA - Chapter 15 - Sir, What a Coincidence!

 Jiang Ning turned around suddenly and looked behind her.

Nothing.

It's really an illusion...

Just at this moment, a black shadow ran over. It was a ferocious dog with jet-black hair baring its teeth at her.

Jiang Ning stood there and looked at the big black dog.

"Grr-" The black dog growled threateningly.

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment when she saw the big black dog and then remembered that this was the dog trained by the eldest young master of the Jin family, Jin Jingxiu, named Xiaohei. This dog has a gentle personality, and will not attack people indiscriminately.

In the previous life, Jin Jingxiu sent out a black dog to scare her.

She was so frightened that she fell to the ground, crying so miserably that her makeup was all stained. Everyone burst into laughter when they saw her.

Now that she sees the black dog again and knows that it will not bite randomly, she is not so afraid.

Jiang Ning picked up the small branch next to her and shouted, "Xiao Hei!"

The black dog put away his teeth and looked at her curiously.

"Xiao Hei, go pick it up!" Jiang Ning said, throwing the branch far away.

The black dog barked, ran quickly, chased the branch, picked up the branch, put it in front of Jiang Ning, and wagged its big tail as if asking for a reward.

Jiang Ning knelt down and touched the black dog's head, "Well done! But I didn't bring anything delicious today. Can I give it to you next time?"

"Woof!" the black dog barked, wagging its big tail happily.

"Pfft." At this time, a chuckle came.

Jiang Ning tensed up, stood up suddenly, and looked around.

Sure enough, there is someone! 

After scanning around, she finally saw a figure on the tree. The man jumped to the ground lightly and neatly.

When Jiang Ning saw the man's face clearly, a flash of surprise crossed in her eyes. Is it him? 

Jiang Ning was a little surprised.

Chu Yunli looked at her with a half-smile, staring at her face.

Jiang Ning subconsciously took half a step back for some reason, feeling uneasy. This was not the first time they had met. They had already met in the village.

It was just that the night was dark, her clothes were shabby, and her face was ugly. She didn't know if he would recognize her.

Chu Yunli stared at her for a long time and said, "Miss Jiang?"

Jiang Ning admired his eyesight. She had changed so much and he could still recognize her. Ordinary people would definitely not associate the miserable village girl with the eldest lady in the capital.

She raised her lips slightly and said, "Sir, what a coincidence."

Chu Yunli looked away and did not look at her again, nor did he ask her identity. Instead, he looked down at the big black dog and said, "Miss Jiang is familiar with this dog?"

Jiang Ning was stunned. She couldn't figure out the temperament of the regent in front of her who would have all the power in the future.

She whispered, "Not familiar."

"How would someone unfamiliar with it know that this dog is called Xiao Hei?"

"This..." Jiang Ning suddenly choked on her words. After thinking about it, she randomly found a reason, "This dog is black, so I called it Xiao Hei. I don't know its name."

"Really?" Chu Yunli spoke calmly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiang Ning's palms were sweating. If he continued, she didn't know what weird problems would be involved, so she immediately said, "Sir, I'm going to pick peach blossoms."

After saying that, she lifted up her skirt and left quickly.

Chu Yunli touched Xiao Hei's head and looked at the direction Jiang Ning left with a thoughtful look.

He was sitting on the tree just now and saw the woman coming from a distance.

After recognizing who the woman was, he saw the black dog rushing towards her. He pinched a stone and prepared to knock out the black dog. Unexpectedly, the woman was not afraid at all but looked familiar with it.

He had investigated the woman's identity and found out that she was the young lady brought home by the Marquis who had just been taken back to the capital.

Logically speaking, this was her first time at Jin Family Villa, so she probably didn’t know the black dog...

"Jiang Ning..."

He murmured quietly.
