Chapter 79 I want to see my sweet baby soon
After a while, Zhai Jin held his breath and a stiff smile appeared on his face. "I am 25 years old this year, and my birthday is in January. How old is Miss Xu?"
She actually knew Xu Xian's age and birthday, but she still had to pretend.
Xu Xian raised an eyebrow in interest when she heard that. A subtle curve formed on her red lips as she said sympathetically, "Well, I'm a few months younger than you, Zhai Jin. But it doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of being at a disadvantage. Don't think that calling me 'sister' makes me feel old."
"We can just call them by their seniority."
Zhai Jin: “…”
The gentle voice may not seem to have any killing power at first glance, but it actually touches people's hearts.
Is Xu Xian mocking her age, either overtly or covertly?
The beautiful nails were held in her palm and were almost broken by her. Zhai Jin's face changed slightly. Seeing that both of them were staring at her, she could only shout unwillingly, "Then I will try to get close to you, Sister Xu Xian."
The sound of gnashing teeth sounded like a spring breeze to Xu Xian, and he felt particularly relaxed.
She looks like a delicate white lotus, but in fact her level is not good enough at all.
Without waiting for her response, the few people who had been paying attention to the call did not notice the sound of the door opening and closing, and Jiang Shibai's figure suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
The man looked exhausted, holding a large bouquet of champagne roses in his arms. The silver ring on his ring finger emitted a faint light. His calm face was softened by the flowers. A few snowflakes fell on his dark gray coat, and his every move exuded charm.
He was holding a paper bag in his other hand. When he saw the three of them sitting on the sofa, his expression remained unchanged. He walked towards the sofa calmly with the flowers in his arms.
Under the astonished gazes of the three, he slowly placed the flowers and paper bag on the coffee table, pinched Xu Xian's cheek with deft movements, and said in a gentle voice, "My dear! This is a gift for you."
When he spoke, the man's cold eyes and brows naturally became gentle, without any effort.
The two of them are casual and affectionate in private, but rarely behave intimately in front of outsiders.
Xu Xian's expression froze slightly, then she thought of the man in front of her. She immediately grabbed the man's arm with her backhand, smiling, "Thank you, husband. You're so nice! I love you!"
Before he left in the morning, he said he would bring her a gift, but she didn't take it seriously.
And it’s an hour earlier than the end of get off work time. Is he skipping work?
Her voice was sweet and her face showed a coquettish expression that she had never had before. Jiang Shibai was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he received such a warm welcome.
After a slight change of mind, he understood what she meant by her sudden sweet talk.
She would only mention the word "love" when she was pretending.
Before the two of them could show off their affection enough, Zhai Jin couldn't help but speak first, his eyes fixed on Jiang Shibai, deliberately avoiding looking at the pile of gifts on the coffee table, "Brother Shibai, you got off work pretty early! I remember the company gets off work in an hour!"
Her eyes were clear and she sounded like she was chatting.
Jiang Shibai calmly sat down next to Xu Xian, a smile slipping from his lips. He uttered a light "hmm" as if casually saying, "I wanted to see my sweet baby sooner, so I got off work a little early."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of Xu Xian's head in an intimate manner.
Xu Xian: “…”
She secretly glanced at Jiang Shibai. Why did this guy like her hair so much?
If there wasn't someone present, she would have tried to get it back.
Zhai Jin laughed awkwardly, almost unable to keep his composure, jealousy boiling in his heart.
What on earth has Xu Xian done to deserve Brother Bai to leave work early, buy her flowers and gifts, and spoil her like a child?
Why? How is she worse than Xu Xian?
Jiang Shibai glanced at her calmly, then turned his gaze to Wen Tingyun, and said calmly, "Mom, is there anything you need to come to Repulse Bay?"
As he spoke, he opened the paper bag beside him, revealing a cup of warm matcha pistachio milk tea.
Under the gaze of the three people, he slowly inserted the straw and casually handed it to Xu Xian's mouth. His movements were smooth and flowing, as if he had done it thousands of times, and it was pleasing to the eye.
Xu Xian licked her lips upon seeing this. She wanted to show off her affection and annoy the two hostile people opposite her, but she didn't expect it to be so dramatic.
She reached out to hold the milk tea, but the man did not insist and let go of it.
Wen Tingyun suddenly remembered what Xu Xian had asked just now, and a lot of black lines appeared on his forehead. The couple were really exactly the same.
"Can't I come to Repulse Bay if I'm fine? Or is there someone here who doesn't welcome me?"
She spoke with sarcasm and was almost calling Jiang Shibai a traitor and an ungrateful person.
"Not really, I'm just afraid that you'll disturb my and Guaibao's world of two. If there's anything, we can just call. There's no need to come here in person." Jiang Shibai crossed his long legs, his posture lazy, holding Xu Xian's hand and playing with it, his voice flat.
He was absent-minded at work today. Xu Xian's face, which had been ravaged by him, kept appearing in his mind, so he simply left work early.
Unexpectedly, he received a call from Aunt Zhang on the way back, and he heard every word of the conversation between the three of them on the phone.
Go to his house and bully his wife, do you think he is dead?
His continuous output did not give Wen Tingyun any chance to perform, and he could only stare at him helplessly.
What a rotten son!
Xu Xian almost spit out the milk tea in his mouth. He swallowed it with a distorted face and looked at Jiang Shibai in disbelief.
She found that when it came to sharp tongue, she was inferior to Jiang Shibai.
Every word she said was full of hidden meaning, but he was straightforward enough, giving the impression of not caring about anyone's life or death.
However, she saw his intention, which was nothing more than to support her, and a piece of her hard heart inexplicably collapsed.
Zhai Jin, who had been silent the whole time, was also very surprised. In her memory, Brother Shi Bai was polite, elegant and gentlemanly. Although he spoke coldly, he was patient and gentle.
It was the first time I saw him speak in such a sarcastic and rude manner.
Before she could open her mouth to defend Aunt Jiang, Jiang Shibai had already ordered her to leave, "Dad is waiting for you to come home for dinner! Let me take you home!"
Wen Tingyun: "..."
Did he think she was keen on eating in Repulse Bay?
Wen Tingyun, who was full of anger, picked up his bag and stood up, walking out angrily, not giving anyone present a chance to stop him.
Jiang Shibai's indifferent gaze fell on Zhai Jin, and his voice was cold, "Miss Zhai, I'm afraid I can't keep you for dinner. My wife and I are having a candlelight dinner tonight, so it's not very convenient."
No matter how thick-skinned Zhai Jin was, he still felt embarrassed. Facing the sarcasm from the man he liked, his heart seemed to be clenched and he couldn't breathe.
Her face flushed as she whispered, "I didn't mean to disturb Brother Shi Bai and Sister Xu Xian's dinner. I'll leave now. We'll get together again when there's a chance."
After she finished speaking, she stood up with an embarrassed look on her face and walked out the door.
The gentle, weak and considerate little white flower can most arouse men's desire to protect her, but this trick has no effect on Jiang Shibai, and there is not even a ripple in his heart.
Jiang Shibai turned his head to look at Xu Xian, and seeing that her expression remained unchanged, he knew that she had not been wronged.
He stood up calmly, straightened his coat, leaned over and placed a light kiss on Xu Xian's plump forehead.
Xu Xian raised his eyes and looked at him, his clear eyes were unspeakably gentle.
Jiang Shibai's slender fingers were slightly bent, gently scratching the tip of his upturned nose, and his voice was so gentle that it could drip water, "My dear, have some afternoon tea first, and wait for me to come home for dinner."
After saying that, he walked outside. He was tall and slender, with a broad back, giving people an infinite sense of security.
The living room returned to silence, with only Xu Xian sitting on the sofa, holding his milk tea. The sky and earth covered with snowflakes seemed to have no other sounds except the sound of his heart beating in his chest.
Each sound became louder and louder, almost bursting her eardrums.
