The Evil Creature Was an Eyeball

Chapter 717: The Evil Creature Was an Eyeball

Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard her. He had not expected her to be talking about this.

To Jiang Chen, this was not a matter at all. It had merely been Xu Li's condition. Since Jiang Chen had previously refused to become the successor to the City Lord, that condition naturally no longer counted.

"We only met for the first time before. You have the right to pursue your own happiness instead of becoming a condition in a transaction. Let's drop this matter. Don't overthink it." Jiang Chen smiled.

"Mm." Xu Wenjing nodded slightly.

Who knew what she was thinking at this moment? It seemed Jiang Chen really did not take a fancy to her.

"As long as you don't take it to heart. Then I'll take my leave first." Xu Wenjing said.

Now that she knew Jiang Chen's attitude, she felt that it was not wise to stay here, so she wanted to leave.

Xu Li had already told Xu Wenjing about his previous plan. She had been willing to follow her father's arrangements, but Jiang Chen had not agreed according to their plan.

That was where the unexpected turn had occurred.

"Mm." Jiang Chen said nothing more.

Watching Xu Wenjing's departing figure, Jiang Chen also sighed.

Although Xu Wenjing was beautiful, Jiang Chen had no intention of being with her.

He already had He Yushi. Next, he still had to find Long Qingyao. Jiang Chen had offended many powerful forces, and it would be too dangerous for her to stay by his side.

They had only met twice. It was impossible for them to privately pledge themselves to each other because of that.

Jiang Chen still had his own matters to handle. He did not want to add trouble.
