Feeling utterly exhausted upon returning, Jiang Junchi lay sprawled on the narrow sofa.
Upon seeing her return, he immediately said, "I haven't eaten yet today, go and cook for me."
Jiang Xiaoling was too tired to pay attention to him right now.
He simply said, "If you want to eat, just order takeout. I don't want to cook right now."
After saying that, he walked towards the bedroom.
"Stop." Jiang Junchi called out to her.
Jiang Xiaoling stopped and waited for him to continue.
Jiang Junchi smashed the wine bottle and swayed wildly on the sofa. "Now you think you're all grown up and won't listen to me anymore?"
He always does this, scaring her like this ever since her parents passed away.
She was truly fed up. Let him hit her if he wanted; she wasn't afraid, since it wasn't the first time.
Jiang Xiaoling ignored him and stood there, waiting for his next move.
Jiang Junchi seemed to find her acting strangely today, tilting his head to ask, "What happened to you?"
Jiang Xiaoling really wanted to answer that he had experienced quite a few shocks today. First, he was cornered by Xu Yi and almost kissed by him, then he was caught by Liu Yunqi, and then he heard about their decision to get married.
She felt really tired and her mind was no longer capable of thinking normally.
She said softly, "I'm going to sleep now."
Then he went into the bedroom and locked the door tightly from the inside.
The next day when I went to the Xu family again, I saw a familiar figure in the office as soon as I entered.
Through the glass outside, it was clear that Liu Yunqi was constantly hovering around Xu Yi, asking him all sorts of questions like a little girl.
Jiang Xiaoling went in without anyone noticing, and started working on a huge pile of tasks.
Liu Yunqi noticed her at some point and walked over to Jiang Xiaoling, tapping on her table.
When their eyes met, Jiang Xiaoling could clearly sense the provocation in Liu Yunqi's eyes.
Liu Yunqi spoke first: "You haven't heard yet, have you? The Xu family has been temporarily saved and can barely operate with a sum of money. Moreover, my promise to him will soon be fulfilled."
Jiang Xiaoling immediately understood. So this meant Xu Yi had agreed to marry her? And all that sweet talk between them inside just now was to discuss marriage?
Jiang Xiaoling forced a smile: "Then I congratulate you first."
"No need for congratulations, but you should try to avoid being around Xu Yi in the future to prevent any unnecessary misunderstandings."
Jiang Xiaoling looked at her delicate face and couldn't say a word.
Yes, they're getting married soon, so she has no reason to continue entangled with Xu Yi.
Actually, when you think about it, they never dated. It was just that Xu Yi kept harassing her, making others mistakenly believe that they were in a relationship.
Jiang Xiaoling also felt that it was best to end this relationship in this way, which had caused so much misunderstanding.
She then politely said to Liu Yunqi, "Actually, there's really nothing between us. Don't worry, I won't have anything to do with him in the future."
It wasn't for Liu Yunqi, nor for Xu Yi; it was just to focus on my work and avoid thinking about unrealistic things.
Liu Yunqi seemed quite happy, and took her hand, saying, "Actually, I didn't mean anything by it. Putting all that aside, we can still be friends."
Her eyes were clear, and she seemed to have no ulterior motives.
There's no need to be friends anymore, since she hasn't found many people better than Fu Hange in her life anyway.
Jiang Xiaoling didn't respond directly; she just smiled and let the matter rest.
