Jiang Xue was slightly taken aback. Her mind was in turmoil, but her brain remained rational. "I don't think there's anything good about the two of us being together. On the contrary, it would delay your Ji family from having a grandson."
Ji Chen stared intently at Jiang Xue, showing no intention of letting go. "I can wait, until you're willing."
"I want to go back. I still have to cook when I get back." Jiang Xue rationally changed the subject. In this great era, we should be making money. Who would still be indulging in romantic relationships?
"Okay, I'll go with you."
"No need, you go ahead with your work. I need to go to the store to select samples of those fabrics for you," Jiang Xue said before turning to leave.
Ji Chen was still held back by Jiang Xue, "I'll take you to buy jewelry. I feel like you definitely didn't like the one from last time."
Jiang Xue quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need, you're busy, I'll go first."
Jiang Xue, who had fled in a panic, took a deep breath of fresh air. She hadn't expected that this face would actually attract so many suitors.
She bought some vegetables and returned to her shop, where she saw Sun Ze'an standing next to her shop with a bouquet of flowers.
Aunt Zhou was dumbfounded, and no matter how she tried to persuade him, she couldn't get Sun Ze'an to leave.
"You're back? I thought you weren't coming back." Sun Ze'an walked gracefully toward Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue felt instantly dizzy and lightheaded, as if she could pinch someone's philtrum right now.
"Hello, Teacher Sun."
"Here you go, congratulations on closing a big deal today." He handed the eye-catching red roses to Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue's lips twitched. What was going on? "I don't want it. Roses are for the sweetheart. I'm not suitable for them."
Jiang Xue went straight to open the door, but Ji Chen, who was following behind her, happened to witness this scene.
"What are you doing?" Ji Chen's eyes were fierce, and he clenched his fists so tightly that he wanted to punch him without any room for doubt.
Jiang Xue quickly turned around and grabbed Ji Chen's arm, "What are you doing? Don't hit people!"
Ji Chen said indignantly, "We're husband and wife, what do you want to do?"
Sun Ze'an has always been a man who doesn't care about other people's opinions. Perhaps because he came from a wealthy family, no one dares to point fingers at him.
"Everyone knows you two are a fake couple. I'm just congratulating her on landing a big order today." Sun Ze'an showed no fear of Ji Chen's fierceness.
He actually felt a bit contempt for Ji Chen. He could see through Ji Chen's thoughts, but he didn't cherish them.
Now that someone else has taken advantage of his weakness, he realizes how precious she is.
Jiang Xue hurriedly pushed Sun Ze'an, "Teacher Sun, you should go back first. Didn't we agree to have dinner with you in a couple of days and celebrate together?" She pushed Sun Ze'an anxiously.
Sun Ze'an smiled indulgently, "Okay, see you then, I have things to do when I get back."
Although Sun Ze'an had left, Jiang Xue, who remained behind, felt as if she couldn't breathe properly. She forced a smile and said, "They're all friends, they're all friends."
Ji Chen glared fiercely at Jiang Xue, then sped away without looking back.
Jiang Xue, frozen in place, exchanged a smile with Aunt Zhou and shrugged.
"You've really become quite likable since you changed your personality," Aunt Zhou said with a sly smile.
Jiang Xue knew that Aunt Zhou was teasing her, "I know my limits, and I will be more careful in the future."
"It's up to you. Both young men are quite good. A woman needs to be capable herself. Once you have ability, you'll have confidence." Aunt Zhou sighed deeply.
"You can do it too, no matter your age, trust me."
