Chapter 213 All They Want Is Peace and Longevity

"You trust me so much?" Jiang Shibai felt a burning sensation in his heart, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously, his happiness was visibly evident.

"Want to know?" Xu Xian's eyes were shining with a smile, and his voice was sweet.

"Um."

"I won't tell you!" Xu Xian made a feint and refused to give him an answer.

Jiang Shibai's clear and elegant features were filled with pampering and composure.

Even without her saying anything, he could guess the correct answer through her words and actions.

After getting in the car, Xu Xian took control of the steering wheel and stared at the road ahead. The warm sun shone through the windshield, and the golden light sprinkled freely on his straight nose, outlining his delicate facial features, and gradually penetrating into his beautiful collarbone.

Jiang Shibai did not close his eyes and pretend to sleep. After finishing the work on the ground, he stared at her with interest.

The man's scorching gaze made Xu Xian feel a little uncomfortable.

She finally understood how uncomfortable a man felt when she teased him while sitting in the passenger seat.

"If you're not sleepy, play with your phone and don't stare at me." Xu Xian's slender fingers gripped the steering wheel tightly, afraid that he would let it slip out of control if he wasn't careful.

"A cell phone is not as pretty as a good-looking baby." Jiang Shibai shed his outwardly reserved demeanor, supported his chin with one hand, his eyes full of interest.

The man's voice was unusually casual, as if he spoke without thinking, yet one could sense some sincerity in it.

Xu Xian's heart trembled, his breathing stagnated, and his heartbeat was like thunder.

Who can stand a handsome guy praising her beauty?

Even gods would be tempted by this.

She appeared calm despite her inner drama, her voice steady, "If you don't want to play with your phone, just look at the scenery."

Her mind was unstable and she was afraid to continue praising him, so she slipped and had an accident.

The airport is located on the outskirts of the city. The road to Repulse Bay is lined with artificially planted flowers, plants and trees. The flowers are in full bloom, but there is nothing new about them. The green belt receding outside the car window has no ornamental value.

They are like a newlywed couple after a short separation.

Jiang Shibai raised his eyelids upon hearing this, glanced out the window indifferently, then his gaze fell back on her, and he said nonchalantly: "The most beautiful scenery is you in front of me. After we get home, I will take a closer look at my dear."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xian instantly guessed his little thoughts.

They are like newlyweds after a short separation, but there is no innocence in this guy's eyes.

She smiled wryly, "Jiang Shibai, if you tease me again, I'll throw you on the street and you won't be able to return home."

If the cars in front and behind were not moving, she would have stopped the car and kicked him out.

Jiang Shibai: "..."

Fearing he might have gone too far, he immediately became serious, retracted his fiery gaze, stared at the rear of the car in front of him, and said pitifully, "I just returned to China, and Mrs. Jiang is already kicking me out of the house. How cruel."

The momentum of sighing and groaning is captured just right.

If you don’t know, you might think he was abandoned. His pitiful tone would make anyone feel sad.

Xu Xian was used to his acting, and his resolute heart didn't waver at all. Fearing he wouldn't stop talking, he simply changed the subject, "I just ran into Zhai Jin and her fiancé at the airport."

"Did she bully you?" Jiang Shibai was leaning lazily, but upon hearing that, he sat up straight and turned to look at her.

The man glanced nervously up and down, and when he saw that she was fine, his frown relaxed a little, but he still stared at her.

He seemed to be worried unless she explained the reason.

Xu Xian was surprised by his first reaction.

How did he feel that Zhai Jin would bully her anytime and anywhere?

"No, they just exchanged a few words. After her fiancé arrived, they left in a sweet and affectionate manner. They didn't bully me."

Jiang Shibai's secretive eyes showed visibly relaxed, and he murmured "hmm" softly, obviously realizing that his reaction was a bit extreme.

"Why are you so nervous? If there really was a fight, do you think I'd be sitting here driving?" Xu Xian tilted his head to look at him, his clear eyes gleaming with an unknown glimmer. "Why do you subconsciously feel that she will harm me?"

Jiang Shibai couldn't give a specific reason, but he classified Zhai Jin as a dangerous person, and became confused because of his concern.

He was wary of anyone approaching them with ill intentions.

Once a person has a soft spot, he will not only look ahead and behind and leave room for maneuver when doing things, but he will also be more cautious and careful in dealing with people and things than before, and will not dare to make even a single wrong step.

"I don't know either, but as long as you're okay, stay away from her from now on. She might go crazy."

He said it so smoothly that he didn't notice the loophole in the sentence at all.

Xu Xian nodded in agreement with his words, saying smugly, "You underestimate Mrs. Jiang's fighting ability."

She didn't want to have anything to do with Zhai Jin.

It's nothing more than verbal provocation and divisiveness. She can handle the roundabout gossip as long as she is not treated as a dish.

I didn't see her launch any physical attacks.

"I have never underestimated this. After all, I still remember Mrs. Jiang's heroic deeds in the company a few months ago." Jiang Shibai teased with a smile.

He specifically watched the surveillance video of her slapping someone. It was so fast, accurate, and ruthless, without any hesitation.

Xu Xian: “…”

Why did she feel that he was laughing at and advocating the use of force to solve problems with violence?

"If you don't behave yourself, I'll kill you."

The woman's threatening voice was not very lethal, and Jiang Shibai just laughed it off. "I have no objection to you cutting me into pieces on the bed."

Seeing that he couldn't win the argument, Xu Xian simply shut up to avoid being led into a ditch by him and having to cede land and pay compensation.

After returning to Repulse Bay, it was lunchtime. Jiang Shibai went upstairs to take a shower and change clothes, while Xu Xian was cooking noodles in the kitchen downstairs.

Eating longevity noodles on birthdays is an unchanging tradition throughout the ages, symbolizing longevity and health.

She thinks longevity noodles are more meaningful than cakes.

Decisively abandon the plan of making him a new cake.

Xu Xian carefully put the noodles into the bowl and placed a golden fried egg on the red soup base to represent reunion.

She arrived at the restaurant carrying two bowls of steaming noodles on a tray, which she placed neatly and solemnly.

The man was very fast. By the time he finished showering, dried his short hair and went downstairs, the noodles were already on the table.

The two sat facing each other, with wisps of green smoke rising from two bowls of noodles in the middle of the table, blurring each other's vision.

Through the thin smoke, Xu Xian smiled and said, "May Mr. Jiang be free from disasters and illnesses and live a long and healthy life."

Jiang Shibai chuckled and said slowly, "You also have a share of my birthday blessings. I wish you a worry-free and healthy life."

All they want is a peaceful and companionable old age.

The two of them finished the entire bowl of noodles, leaving the bottom of the bowl empty.

The two of them took a short walk to help digest their food. Just after sitting on the sofa to rest for a few minutes, Xu Xian noticed that the man was touching her.

"Mr. Jiang, just a friendly reminder, you've been working non-stop for two days, don't you really need to go upstairs to rest?" She said, struggling to get off his lap.

It's dangerous to hold it now.

"Doing things that please both physically and mentally with you is like resting." Jiang Shibai was very shameless, and the palm that controlled her soft waist moved upwards instantly.

Xu Xian's brown pupils shrank slightly, "You're not afraid of sudden death!"

"What's the harm in dying on you?"

The living room was well-lit in broad daylight, and two figures were entangled on the carpet, whispering to each other.

Use the most primitive way to express a week of separation and longing.
