Jiang Xilin harbored a secret. He had been married to Shen Congyu, and then they divorced.
He had thought that if Shen Congyu ever dared to return, he would absolutely not let her off the hoo...
Chapter 221 Choice
Chen Congyu's gaze avoided a little, but his body did not move, "It doesn't matter."
Jiang Xilin repeated this concise answer, "No?"
Considering their relationship, if Shen Congyu told the truth, she would certainly know what to say.
It's just that she doesn't want to.
"If you want me to tell the truth and tell others what the situation is between us, I would rather say that we have no relationship."
She has been unwilling to accept and admit it for more than a day or two.
Jiang Xilin's breathing got closer. "But the truth is, no one will believe you if you say it has nothing to do with you."
Chen Congyu looked at him dissatisfiedly, "So, what are you going to force me to say?"
"I didn't say I was going to force you."
Chen Congyu was about to continue asking questions, but Jiang Xilin almost kissed her, causing her to stop talking.
She was prepared as expected, but just a second before Jiang Xilin came close, he stopped.
He looked behind Shen Congyu.
This sudden change also made Shen Congyu realize something.
She turned her head and saw Yuan Qi, who had just returned from a phone call, looking at them with a frown.
It seemed to be because of the posture and intimacy of the two people about to kiss.
"Sister, you guys..."
Chen Congyu glanced at Jiang Xilin, stood up, and said to Yuan Qi: "Have you made an appointment with your friends?"
Yuan Qi looked a little depressed, and his tone was not as lively as before. "It's agreed."
"Shall we go back and eat now? Or do you want to stay here a little longer?"
Yuan Qi shook his head.
He wants to go back with Shen Congyu.
But before leaving, he couldn't help but go to see Jiang Xilin.
Jiang Xilin was still sitting there.
He didn't know if it was Yuan Qi's illusion, but he felt that Jiang Xilin's mood seemed to be better than during the day.
Yuan Qi didn't ask anything directly, nor did he tell Shen Congyu what had just happened, but he still had some ideas in his mind.
He could see that the relationship between Shen Congyu and Jiang Xilin was not just ordinary friendship, but it didn't seem like they liked each other either.
But for Yuan Qi, there will be divorce even after marriage, let alone now.
So he can't ruin his image in front of Shen Congyu now.
He still knows what is important and what is not.
The next day, Yuan Qi's friend arranged a yacht, and they took it after breakfast. The sea breeze blew in the morning, neither too hot nor too cold, and the sea view was magnificent and boundless, which was very suitable for relaxing the brain.
After arriving at a sea area, the yacht stopped. Yuan Qi took out a fishing rod and asked them if they wanted to go fishing.
"I heard from the staff that there are abundant fish in this area. If we can catch some fish, we can have fresh fish for lunch. I'll ask the chef to prepare a barbecue."
Xue Mingrui was not interested in this. Maybe it was because she didn't get enough rest last night, but she felt a little dizzy on the sea today, so she could only sit there and watch their activities.
Shen Congyu asked for a fishing rod, but she was not very familiar with it, so Yuan Qi volunteered to teach her.
The other fishing rod was empty, and when Shen Congyu took the time to check on Xue Mingrui's condition, he found that it was in Jiang Xilin's hands.
He still had no expression, wore sunglasses, and looked like he was fishing seriously.
Yuan Qi hadn't noticed yet, seeing that she was looking at the other side, he asked her, "What's wrong, sister?"
Chen Congyu retracted his gaze, “Nothing.”
She had a plan in mind, and after a few minutes, she shook her hands and said, "I don't want to fish anymore. Come on, I'll go see Ruirui."
Yuan Qi took it obediently and said, "Then you should go and have a rest, it's a bit hot here."
He watched Shen Congyu go by, and then he realized that the other fishing rod was in Jiang Xilin's hand.
For some reason, Yuan Qi felt a desire to win.
However, his luck today was not very good, and the number of fish he caught was far less than that of Jiang Xilin.
He gradually became unhappy.
At the end of the fishing trip, the difference in the number of fish caught by the two people was visible to the naked eye.
Xue Mingrui was now much calmer. He stretched his head to take a look and said, "Wow, Brother Jiang is such a great fisherman."
Chen Congyu also saw it from the side.
Jiang Xilin said, "There are more fish in this area."
Yuan Qi stopped talking.
There are a lot of fish, but he still can't catch as many as he catches.
Doesn't that mean he is not as good as him?
The chef came over to select the fish for lunch, some suitable for sashimi, some for grilling. Jiang Xilin asked him to release the rest back into the sea.
Yuan Qi also said nothing. He took the bucket and went to the side and silently poured the remaining fish in the bucket back into the sea.
The chef cleaned and prepared the ingredients, and you can grill them yourself. Yuan Qi took the initiative to do it at this time.
He and Jiang Xilin were grilling, while Shen Congyu and Xue Mingrui were sitting next to them looking at the photos they had taken that morning.
Yuan Qi grilled a fish and gave it to Chen Congyu very politely, "Sister, try it first."
When Shen Congyu looked up, he noticed from the corner of his eye that the fish in Jiang Xilin's hand behind him was also grilled.
The aroma of food lingers and it smells delicious.
Jiang Xilin was also looking at her.
Although he said nothing, Shen Congyu probably knew what he meant.
See who she chooses.
But Yuan Qi had already put the fish in front of her, and if she didn't choose him, it would be too disrespectful to him.
So after a brief thought, Chen Congyu took the grilled fish from Yuan Qi.
In front of several people, Shen Congyu took a bite.
Yuan Qi asked her expectantly, "How is it? Does it taste good?"
There is no need to talk about the deliciousness of fresh sea fish. Even without excessive cooking, you can still taste its freshness. Moreover, Yuan Qi paid attention to the roasting temperature, so the fish tasted very good.
Shen Congyu nodded: "It's good."
Yuan Qi's eyes lit up. "That's fine. What else do you want to eat? I'll grill it for you."
"You don't have to help me with it. I can't eat much."
"It's okay, I'll bake them together right away."
Perhaps it was because Chen Congyu praised him in front of them that Yuan Qi became more motivated, and the frustration caused by falling behind in fishing was swept away.
He returned to the barbecue grill, and when he met Jiang Xilin's eyes, the smile on his lips was quite proud and boastful.
Jiang Xilin then brought his grilled fish and food to Xue Mingrui, "I didn't put too much seasoning, you can eat a little if you don't have an appetite."
"Thank you, Brother Jiang!"
Jiang Xilin put the food on the small table, which was right in front of Shen Congyu and Xue Mingrui.
After putting it down, he went to wash his hands and did not join Yuan Qi in the subsequent battle.
Later, Yuan Qi grilled some more food and put it on the plate on the table. Together with the sashimi and salad made by the chef, this lunch was not only rich but also delicious.
After having lunch on the yacht and returning, Shen Congyu went to the bathroom. When she went back on the deck, the yacht was a little unstable. She slipped and didn't have time to grab anything with her hands.
Thinking she was going to fall, Jiang Xilin came forward and hugged her.
His hands were on Shen Congyu's waist, touching her skin, and the other hand was holding her steady.
Chen Congyu breathed a sigh of relief, looked up into Jiang Xilin's eyes, and said, "Thank you."
Jiang Xilin did not let go of his hand. His touch had actually exceeded the normal limits of courtesy, but neither of them seemed to react too much.
It seems like he doesn't reject such closeness.
Yuan Qi saw it.
