Qin Huan's eyes were fixed on the notebook, but her peripheral vision kept falling on the two figures.
Jiang Jingchu is tall and has long legs, and has an ascetic face. He can make even the simplest shirt and trousers look romantic and unrestrained.
Ji Jingya, who was standing next to him, was pretty and bright, wearing a new off-shoulder white dress from a famous brand.
Both of them have excellent temperament, and when they walk together, they attract the attention of passers-by.
I saw them walking across the porch towards me.
Qin Huan's fingers on the table curled up slightly, and her heartbeat uncontrollably quickened.
In a moment, two shadows passed by her one after another. When she looked up again, Jiang Jingchu had already passed by her without looking at her and walked away, leaving only a faint scent of cold pine lingering in the air.
Qin Huan suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in her heart, as if something had disappeared along with Jiang Jingchu's figure.
She glanced at her phone and saw that Zou Shikai had just sent her a message, saying she would have to wait another half an hour.
Her shoulders slumped and she took a deep breath.
After Jiang Jingchu and the other person sat down, Ji Jingya supported her chin with her hands and teased him.
"It's rare for the aloof Mr. Jiang to come down to earth today. He usually just stays in a private room wherever he goes."
Jiang Jingchu didn't even raise his head, but looked down at the menu. His long and thick eyelashes drooped on his lower eyelids, leaving a row of faint shadows.
"The private room is too stuffy, it's bright outside."
After telling the waiter a few dishes, Jiang Jingchu casually closed the menu.
"See if there's anything else you want to eat."
While Ji Jingya was ordering food, Jiang Jingchu glanced sideways, his deep eyes looking through the hollow screen at Qin Huan who was not far away.
She seemed to be waiting for someone, a little anxious, and glanced at the time every once in a while.
When she looked at the dial on her wrist for the sixth time, a man walked past her from behind and sat directly opposite her.
Jiang Jingchu was facing the man and could see clearly that the man was Zou Shikai.
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Jiang Jingchu took a sip of tea and sent a message to Gao Fei.
"Have you finished with the photo?"
In less than two seconds, Gao Fei's message came back.
"It was sent to Miss Qin yesterday via intra-city express."
Jiang Jingchu calmly put down his phone, his eyes fixed on the two people opposite him with interest, his slender fingers bent, stroking the teacup from time to time.
"What do you think of what I told you a few days ago?"
Jiang Jingchu said "Hmm?" and managed to collect his thoughts a little.
Ji Jingya smiled and glared at him.
"I knew you weren't listening to me carefully."
She took out her cell phone, opened the picture and handed it to Jiang Jingchu.
"Auntie has been urging us to decorate our new house. Yesterday I found a well-known interior design company. Two of the designers there have good design styles. Take a look."
Jiang Jingchu glanced at it casually.
"It's up to you to decide. It's a gift from my mother anyway."
The embarrassment in Ji Jingya's eyes flashed away, and then was filled with smile.
"Just pretend, otherwise when Auntie asks you later, you won't know anything."
After saying that, he naturally took the phone away from Jiang Jingchu.
"It's okay if you don't want to see it. I'll invite you to go see it in a few days when they come up with the first design plan."
Jiang Jingchu was absent-minded and casually replied, "Let's talk about it later."
Zou Shikai was looking at a 360 VR panoramic view, and Qin Huan sat quietly opposite him, waiting for his questions at any time.
Halfway through the film, Zou Shikai pinched his nose wearily.
"Sorry, I just had a few drinks at the table, so I can't concentrate very well. Could you please give me a detailed explanation?"
Qin Huan nodded, got into the state in a second, and adjusted the laptop screen to an angle that both of them could see.
"Then Mr. Zou, let's start from the entrance."
Qin Huan's soft voice was like an early summer breeze, gently blowing beside Zou Shikai's ears.
His gaze drifted towards Qin Huan's profile, the clear and smooth jawline, the small and straight nose, the plump lips that opened and closed slightly...
As Zou Shikai watched, he seemed to be distracted, and it was not until Qin Huan called him several times that he came to his senses.
Qin Huan looked at him with a smile on her face.
"Mr. Zou, is there anything you don't understand?"
Zou Shikai touched his nose awkwardly.
"No, it's just the glare from the screen that makes it hard to see clearly."
Qin Huan had no doubts about it.
"Then please sit next to me so you can see clearly."
After saying that, he moved slightly to make room for Zou Shikai.
The two sat side by side with a normal social distance between them.
But in Jiang Jingchu's eyes, it was not the case at all.
At this moment, in his eyes, Qin Huan and Zou Shikai were sitting together intimately. They said something from time to time, and then smiled at each other, looking very sweet, just like a couple in love.
There was an undercurrent in his deep eyes, and Jiang Jingchu silently put down the chopsticks in his hand.
Ji Jingya glanced at Jiang Jingchu who had only taken a few bites and asked suspiciously,
"What's wrong? The food doesn't suit your taste?"
Jiang Jingchu curled his lips, leaned back slightly in his chair, and said lazily,
"Maybe the chef has changed."
Jiang Jingchu has always been picky about his words, but Ji Jingya didn't suspect anything.
"Then let's eat somewhere else next time."
Qin Huan spoke very carefully and also made careful notes based on the objections raised by Zou Shikai.
The two of them finished communicating, already exceeding the expected time.
Zou Shikai smiled and said that he was very satisfied with Qin Huan's design, and looked forward to more complete renderings after her next renovation.
Before leaving the restaurant, Qin Huan went to the bathroom.
When he came out, he was startled by Jiang Jingchu who was waiting at the bathroom door.
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Jingchu leaned against the wall, his bony fingers lazily holding the phone, which rotated rhythmically as he fiddled with it.
Hearing her voice, Jiang Jingchu opened his eyelids lightly.
"Why can't I be here?"
Qin Huan was stunned for a moment. That was right, he just came here to have dinner with his fiancée, not to see her specifically.
Thinking of this, she nodded, concealed the slight sense of loss in her heart, turned sideways, and left Jiang Jingchu.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Jingchu took a step forward and suddenly stood in front of her.
He is nearly 1.86 meters tall, which gives him a natural advantage and makes people feel extremely oppressive.
Qin Huan's heart was pounding, but she remained expressionless.
She raised her pointed chin and looked up at him.
"What's up?"
Jiang Jingchu lowered his dark eyes slightly and looked at the stubborn woman in front of him.
A full and smooth forehead, naturally thick eyebrows, long and curled eyelashes...
Looking at each one individually, it was exactly the same as he remembered, but when put together, it gave him a completely unfamiliar feeling.
Especially those eyes.
When I first met him, I was filled with vigilance and rejection.
Later, when the two were together, they were filled with tenderness.
Even when the two of them had such a quarrel, there was at least irritation and disgust.
But now, there was silence inside, without any emotion, as if he was just a stranger with no relationship to her.
The word "stranger" immediately popped up in Jiang Jingchu's mind.
Jiang Jingchu felt a pain all over his heart, as if someone had hit him hard with a fist.
He himself didn't realize that the expression on his face was already a little bit weak.
"Do you like him that much?"
I like him so much that even though I know he is cheating on me, I still pretend not to know.
This incoherent sentence finally softened Qin Huan's indifferent expression.
Her two beautiful eyebrows were slightly raised.
"Who are you talking about?"
Jiang Jingchu sneered and swept his tongue across the inner wall of his mouth.
"Besides him, are there many other people around you?"
Qin Huan had no idea that Jiang Jingchu was playing tricks on her. She didn't even have the time to look at the photos from yesterday.
Subconsciously, she thought that he was still bothered by what happened between her and Wen Li.
Thinking that he was about to get married, why did he keep asking about his private life again and again? So, he said stubbornly,
"Yeah, I like him that much."
