Chapter 133 She Likes the Candy in My Hand

Xu Xian stared at the condom box in Xu Yixiu's hand with wide eyes. For a moment, he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. He felt like he was struck by lightning.

A wave of heat rushed from the soles of her feet to her forehead, dyeing her entire face red with horror and surprise.

Without waiting for her to speak, Xu Yixue tilted her head back and asked with a smile, "Aunt, do you like orange flavor or cantaloupe flavor? We also have strawberry here!"

Xu Xian: “…”

She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and disappear immediately.

Looking at her innocent and pure little face, she was speechless and had no idea how to explain that this box was not candy.

The cashier who heard the noise couldn't help but be curious. He leaned over the cash register and saw what Xu Yixiu was holding. His eyes twitched slightly and his ambiguous gaze wandered between Xu Xian and Jiang Shibai.

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Jiang Shibai's eyes were filled with a playful smile, and his tone was unclear, "What flavor do you like, Mrs. Jiang? Didn't you just want to eat sweets? Now you have the chance to choose."

"Jiang Shibai, shut up." Xu Xian glared at Jiang Shibai fiercely.

How could he treat his uncle like this?

In front of his little niece, he molested her in public.

Jiang Shibai shut up tactfully upon seeing this, and couldn't help but raise his thin lips, anticipating how she would resolve the situation.

Seeing that he was unreliable, Xu Xian had no choice but to step forward himself, take the candy from Xu Yixiu's hand, endure the distracted gazes above his head, and put the condoms back on the shelf.

She took Xu Yixue's hand and forced a stiff smile, "My aunt doesn't like sweets."

Xu Yixue frowned slightly, her puzzled eyes darting back and forth between Xu Xian and Jiang Shibai, a little confused about their actions, "But my uncle clearly said you like it!"

Xu Xian glanced at Jiang Shibai with a forced smile, and said through gritted teeth, "Your uncle is mistaken. He has never had a good memory."

"Okay!" Xu Yixiu believed the person's words more.

Seeing that the two of them had calmed down, Xu Xian immediately stood back at the cashier counter and never looked at them again.

Now, when she saw the two of them, the scene of social death just now automatically emerged in her mind.

For the first time, I felt that the process of scanning the code to check out was too long.

Xu Xian, who wished he could stay ten meters away from the two of them, couldn't resist the cashier's restrained attempt to raise his lips. He coughed lightly and said, "It's a bit hot in there. I'll be out first."

After saying that, she left the two of them and hurried out of the supermarket, as if a wolf was chasing her.

The woman's tall and slender figure disappeared from sight, and Jiang Shibai's gaze fell on the shelves.

Without any hesitation, he bent down and took two boxes of condoms from the shelf, two boxes of ultra-thin large strawberry flavor.

The man remained calm and composed.

Seeing his actions, Xu Yixue said in a sweet voice with an innocent look on her face, "Uncle, my aunt said she doesn't like candy."

"She will like it. Besides, we've run out of candy at home, so this is a good time to restock." Jiang Shibai glanced at the size on the box and put it on the counter.

I didn't use condoms much recently, and the condoms at home were used up too quickly, and they are almost gone.

The variety of items on supermarket shelves is not as diverse as those online, but they are suitable for emergencies.

Xu Yixue felt that the adults spoke differently and scratched her hair. "Then why did she put the candy back?"

"Because... she likes the candy in my hand. Let's not tell her and give her a surprise secretly." Jiang Shibai's eyes were not innocent, and he curled his lips and chuckled.

The two boxes that Xu Yixiu took just now were the smallest in size, and they would not be usable even if she bought them.

"Then I'll use my pocket money to buy some candy for my aunt-in-law as a surprise." Xu Yixiu said as she reached into a small bag she wore across her body, which contained several bank cards.

Her aunt-in-law usually buys her gifts and is very nice to her, so of course she also has to buy gifts for her aunt-in-law.

In her world, candy is the most precious gift, and her mother usually doesn't let her eat too much.

As the only younger generation in the Jiang and Xu families, he is the apple of everyone's eye.

In addition to the love that elders show to their younger generations on a daily basis, they also generously give out red envelopes and checks during festivals and holidays, and using bank cards is also commonplace.

Xu Yixiu, who was only five years old, had no idea about her assets. She only knew that she was going to her uncle's house and wanted to buy some gifts for her aunt, so she took out a few bank cards from the bedside table.

Jiang Shibai really didn't know that the small bag she always carried contained a bank card, and he laughed for a moment.

He stopped her from taking out her card and said to her, "Use Xue'er's card to buy another gift for my aunt. Xue'er doesn't need to treat me this time. I'll buy it myself."

No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't let his naive little niece pay for him.

"But--"

Before she could finish her words, the cashier had already settled the bill. Jiang Shibai took out his mobile phone and pulled out the QR code.

Xu Yixiu knew that this was an act of paying, so she shut up and said nothing more, thinking in her mind what gift to buy for her aunt-in-law.

After shopping, they drove home. Xu Xian didn't pay much attention to the things in the shopping bag and didn't notice that there were two boxes of condoms that shouldn't be there.

After returning home and eating the dinner prepared by Aunt Zhang, Xu Xian played with Xu Yixiu for a while, took a shower, and then went to the study to draw.

The good news she received from the jewelry design competitions she participated in gradually made her famous in the circle and she was considered a cutting-edge designer.

Fengnan has already found an office location and is recruiting employees. The next step is to advertise and find clients.

Thanks to his previous fame in the country, some celebrities and private clients he had worked with before came to the company to customize and create unique designs.

Thanks to Feng Nan's reputation and ability, the company had a very successful start.

Xu Xian was so immersed in the jewelry design that she didn't notice the passage of time. She didn't even notice when Jiang Shibai entered the study with a plate of cherries.

Jiang Shibai did not interrupt her thoughts. He gently placed the cherries next to her, then took an unfinished book from the bookshelf, sat on the sofa, and slowly flipped through it.

The years were peaceful and the bright light flowed around their feet. Alone in a room, they did not communicate with each other. The sound of pen hitting paper and the sound of pages turning merged into one.

It was not until more than half an hour later that Xu Xian finished the last stroke, brushed off the eraser crumbs on the white paper, and stared at her own masterpiece with satisfaction.

She stretched lazily and saw Jiang Shibai in black silk pajamas. He was slumped leisurely on the sofa, his long legs crossed and a book spread on his knees.

The man lowered his head slightly, the light from above shining on the ends of his hair. His freshly washed hair drooped obediently in front of his forehead, black and shiny. His thin eyelids covered his ink-black eyes. His high nose bridge had smooth lines, and his thin lips were slightly pursed.

Even when sitting quietly, it is difficult to ignore his innate nobility and elegance.

The air was filled with a dark, delicate fragrance, a mixture of shampoo and shower gel.

Xu Xian stared at him for a long time. The man on the opposite side seemed to sense something and raised his eyelids without warning. Their gazes met in mid-air, creating a different kind of spark.

Jiang Shibai blinked his sore eyes, and the cold temperament on his body disappeared completely. A hint of tenderness appeared at the corner of his lips, "Is it finished?"

His low, undecorated voice sounded particularly pleasant in the empty room.

Xu Xian subconsciously rubbed his ears and pursed his lips, "Well, where's Xue'er?"

Before she went upstairs, Jiang Shibai accompanied Xu Yixiu downstairs to watch bedtime cartoons.

"In her room, I coaxed her to sleep." Jiang Shibai closed the book and walked towards her.

Before they got married, Xu Yixiu would often come to Repulse Bay to stay for a few days, and she had her own room here.

It’s just that I haven’t lived here for a long time, and it’s a bit difficult to fall asleep in the unfamiliar environment.

Jiang Shibai told her several fairy tales before he coaxed her to sleep.

Xu Xian nodded weakly, feeling that drawing a design would drain all her energy.

She picked up a bright red cherry and put it into her mouth. The juice splashed in her mouth, and the sweet juice slid down her throat, filling her whole mouth with sweetness.

"Is it sweet?" Jiang Shibai leaned his buttocks against the desk, one of his long legs was bent, and his palms were resting on the table.

One was standing, the other was sitting, and they looked into each other's eyes.

Xu Xian tilted his head back slightly, picked up another one and put it into his mouth, saying slowly, "It's very sweet, try it."

"No, I'll try it and you'll know."
