Chapter 154 If you want to hold hands, just say it

Jiang Shibai specially asked the waiter to bring a glass of sweet milk, handed it to Xu Xian, and said nonchalantly: "Guess, Mrs. Jiang."

The man never showed his emotions on his face, but at this moment he was smiling in a ruffian-like manner, with a bit of Du Yuanzhou's scoundrel-like style.

Xu Xian: “…”

She shot herself in the foot.

She drank the sweet milk slowly. The sweet hot milk warmed her stomach which was originally filled with alcohol. She was out of tune with the other people who were rolling dice and drinking.

Jiang Shibai drank milk with her, but his cup was not sweet. After taking a few sips, he leaned against the sofa leisurely, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Have you decided what to ask me?"

He was actually looking forward to what she wanted.

Since they got married, she had never taken the initiative to ask him for any promises or things.

He gave her everything on his own initiative, wanting to treat her with all his heart.

Xu Xian had no idea about the rules of the game that had been suggested on the spur of the moment. He shook his head decisively, "Just owe it for now!"

She had no idea for the time being. She didn't need to ask for his things, someone would hand them to her and they were within her reach.

The debt collector was not in a hurry. As a debtor, he naturally would not rush to pay back the debt. Jiang Shibai tilted his head back and drank the milk. His sexy Adam's apple rolled slightly, and the milky white liquid slowly slid down the inner wall of the glass.

Du Yuanzhou accidentally caught a glimpse of this scene and sighed softly, "It looks like there are two children in our box."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xian glanced at the unfinished milk in his hand, and felt a little embarrassed when he heard the sarcasm in his words.

It is a bit strange that the club drinks milk.

"My husband and I are taking care of our health. We hope to grow old together, with the wife following his lead. What do you, a woman without a wife, know?" Jiang Shibai retorted lightly, his face showing his willingness.

Du Yuanzhou suddenly felt that he was the most redundant in this game. Next time, he would definitely find a girlfriend to have fun with him and show their love to them.

Unconvinced, he turned his attention to his fellow poker players and tried his best to beat them.

They didn't stay together very late and dispersed around ten o'clock.

The driver had gone back to his hometown on vacation. Jiang Shibai and Xu Xian were unable to drive after drinking, so they called a designated driver.

The car was parked in the ground parking lot, and the two stood on the roadside waiting for the designated driver and sobering up.

A gust of cold wind blew wildly on Xu Xian's flushed cheeks. She was not actually drunk after drinking a glass of fruit wine, but her head was instantly clearer.

The wind was relentless, and the cold chill swept over her body, causing her slender body to tremble uncontrollably.

Jiang Shibai, who was standing next to her and looking at his phone, caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye. He used his free hand to feel the palm of her hand hanging on the edge of her coat. The cold temperature made him frown slightly.

"Cold? Let's get in the car."

As he spoke, he reached for the car door.

Seeing this, Xu Xian stopped his actions, and the slightly red tip of his nose looked somewhat pitiful and weak.

"It's not cold, I want to stay outside."

She just shivered suddenly when the wind blew. Her coat was warm, so she wasn't actually cold.

She also wanted to stand outside and look at the bustling city and listen to the hustle and bustle of the driveway. The indescribable sense of reality made her feel at ease.

The road is wide and the streets are busy. The sounds of conversation and cars are intertwined around. The bright lights gather together, and various colors are mixed together, sprinkling on her delicate facial features, creating a beautiful landscape.

The temperature outside was a little low, and the cold made the corners of her eyes and the tip of her nose turn a faint red. Her beautiful eyes were filled with dazzling light, as if covered with a layer of moisture, adding a sense of fragmentation.

Jiang Shibai's eyes fell on her stubborn face, he sighed inaudibly, and put her hands into his coat pockets.

His coat was slightly open, and the two of them stood face to face, giving the illusion that she was being embraced in his arms.

The man's body temperature was high, and the two of them clasped their hands together. His dry, broad palm easily wrapped around the bony little hands.

Xu Xian raised her eyebrows slightly, her red lips curled up to a certain arc, and her voice was sweet and sticky, breaking the charming moment between the two of them, "I need to point out that my coat has pockets."

The implication is that two people don't need to squeeze into one pocket.

Jiang Shibai forced out a faint smile, with a hint of helplessness between his brows. He laughed neither lightly nor heavily, and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Jiang, don't be so unromantic."

"If you want to hold hands, just say so." He was a head taller than her, so Xu Xian could only tilt her head slightly and look upwards.

Jiang Shibai followed her words, his tone doting, "Well, you discovered all this."

The two knew it well, but they just smiled and said nothing.

Suddenly, Xu Xian remembered something very important. It was almost New Year's Day, and they hadn't discussed where to celebrate the New Year.

According to her mother's current condition, this year may be the last New Year for her and her mother, so she must accompany her mother.

As for Jiang Shibai, she was not sure what he thought.

Maybe he is willing to spend the New Year with her and his mother, but his mother may not be willing, and his grandmother's attitude is also uncertain.

I wonder if the Jiang family has the tradition of celebrating the first New Year after marriage in the old house.

The two of them might have to celebrate the New Year separately, but it's a pity that this is her and Jiang Shibai's first New Year, which is of great significance.

"Jiang Shibai."

"Um?"

Xu Xian looked deeply into his deep eyes, not wanting to miss his gaze, and parted her red lips slightly, "Are we going to separate for the New Year this year?"

Jiang Shibai understood what she meant instantly after hearing this. A dark light flashed across his calm eyes, but he did not answer her directly.

"What do you think?"

Xu Xian didn't dare look him in the eye again, afraid that he would notice the slight guilt in his eyes. He bit his lower lip with the back of his teeth and hesitated for a long time before saying, "I will definitely spend the New Year with Mom. As for you...would you rather stay at the old house?"

Her idea was actually a bit selfish. She easily decided whether he should stay or go without asking for his opinion.

But she didn't want to cause any trouble, and she didn't dare to gamble.

It would be safer to let Jiang Shibai celebrate the New Year at the old house.

Recently, Wen Tingyun often went to the hospital to visit her mother, and the two would sometimes meet, but they just ignored each other.

If Jiang Shibai spent the New Year with them, mother and daughter, she was not sure whether Wen Tingyun would tolerate it.

His mother definitely doesn't care that she won't be spending the New Year at the Jiang family, but her attitude towards where Jiang Shibai will spend the New Year is unknown.

If she is unwilling, she will go to the hospital to talk to her mother about this, which will cause trouble to her mother.

Judging from her mother's personality, she definitely doesn't want her and Wen Tingyun to have a conflict as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she will definitely compromise and mediate.

This was not the ending she wanted to see.

In her final moments, she hoped her mother would see her marriage and family live happily, rather than leaving behind regrets and worries before her death.

Jiang Shibai's eyes flickered slightly. Looking at her cautious appearance, his heart felt like it was entangled by vines and he could hardly breathe.

He couldn't bear to see her being so cautious in front of him.

Marry her to pamper her, not to bother her.

He bent his long fingers slightly, scratched the tip of her red nose tenderly and lovingly, and smiled gently, "Little fool, what are you worried about? I will take care of everything."
