Chapter 185 The Jealousy Jar Has Overturned
Xiang Yun finally calmed down. He understood Xu Songning's sudden action. He lowered his arm from her waist and said coldly, "Let's go."
Xu Songning stiffened in his arms. Was her guilt just now that obvious? Did Brother Yun discover something?
She held onto Xiang Yun tightly, lifting her face from his embrace, but Xiang Yun turned his face away, his cold, sharp jawline sending a chill down her spine.
“Brother Yun, I…”
Xiang Yun pulled the person off him and said through gritted teeth, "Let's go."
Back in the car, no one spoke. Xu Songning tried to start a conversation, but Xiang Yun wasn't interested in anything she said, responding with short, indifferent interjections.
Who was that man just now? She actually used herself as a shield to avoid other men.
This made him very unhappy.
Xiang Yun was secretly furious, but what good was his displeasure when Xu Songning showed no intention of explaining?
Xu Songning knew that what she had just done was inappropriate, but she really didn't want to meet that person.
But if she didn't explain, Xiang Yun would definitely get angry. Looking at his cold profile, not even glancing at her, she knew how serious the situation was.
"I had a reason for what I said earlier, Brother Yun," Xu Songning said cautiously.
Xiang Yun, who considered himself a shield, remained silent, staring intently out the window as if trying to see through the highway.
"Please let me explain," Xu Songning said softly.
Xiang Yun snorted softly and didn't reply. If he opened his mouth, what he said might not be pleasant, but his ears were perked up, waiting for Xu Songning's explanation.
"So, are you going to listen or not? If you don't want to listen, I'm not going to say anything," Xu Songning said.
Xiang Yun couldn't hold back any longer, frowning as she said, "What do you take me for? A shield?"
"How could that be? Of course I see you as my boyfriend!" Xu Songning said urgently.
Hearing her say this, Xiang Yun was amused and exasperated. "So, you really know that person?"
Xu Songning laid his cards on the table: "My ex."
She had promised Xiang Yun that she would not hide anything from him in the future, and she meant it.
They talked about their exes, but not in great depth; they only got a superficial understanding, which made him unhappy.
"What's your name?"
"Cheng Ou".
"Heh." Xiang Yun chuckled cryptically and gripped the steering wheel tighter.
A forced smile is even more chilling.
"Brother Yun, I don't care to see him! I'm too lazy to mention what he did. Anyway, we're from two different worlds. I did that because I didn't want to see him!" Xu Songning immediately explained, afraid that Xiang Yun would misunderstand. The next second, he slammed the car door and left.
"Aren't you afraid he'll recognize your back as you snuggle into my arms?" Xiang Yun asked quietly.
Xu Songning sighed, "He probably doesn't recognize me. How could I be so good that he would remember me for so many years? Besides, his parents have probably already found him a marriage partner. If his parents don't like me, he probably doesn't like me much either."
These were all heartfelt words, and Xu Songning's words touched a nerve.
Xiang Yun held her wrist and gently squeezed it. More than being jealous, he didn't want to see Xu Songning looking so downcast.
He and Xu Songning were in a romantic relationship. An ex is just an ex. Xu Songning could face Qin Han openly, so why did he have to hold onto Cheng Ou?
Although I thought that way, I still felt a little sour and a little pain in my heart.
“I recognize you.”
Xu Songning had to admire him; even though he was squatting next to the pancake stall, Xiang Yun could see him clearly from across the street.
"I'm wondering the same thing, Yun-ge, how did you recognize me? I was squatting there, did I look ugly?" Xu Songning teased him.
Xiang Yun replied in a bad mood, "Yeah, it is pretty ugly."
Xu Songning laughed, "So what if she's ugly? She's still your girlfriend."
The aloof Xiang Yun didn't reply and silently drove home. Both of them had already eaten dinner, and it was almost eight o'clock when they got home. Usually, at this time, they would both take a shower and crawl into bed, leaning against each other and doing their own things. But today, after what happened, Xiang Yun went into the second bedroom without saying goodnight, and locked the door. It goes without saying who he was keeping an eye on.
Xu Songning stood at the door of the master bedroom, sighed deeply, and raised his fist at the door of the second bedroom.
I really need to check the almanac next time I go out! What a coincidence that I ran into my ex? And I even made Xiang Yun angry.
But if I hadn't hugged Xiang Yun back then and Cheng Ou had recognized me, he would definitely have harassed me, and wouldn't Xiang Yun have been even angrier?
After their breakup, Xu Songning gave him a chance, but he failed her. After she decisively deleted Cheng Ou and didn't want to have any further contact with him, he came back to bother her.
When Cheng Ou wasn't working, he would wait for her downstairs every day, repeatedly adding her as a friend. When she ignored him, Cheng Ou would harass Zhou Qiao instead.
Zhou Qiao almost changed her phone card because of this; she found the person incredibly annoying.
Xu Songning directly packaged up the evidence and sent it to Cheng Ou's parents, telling them to control their son and stop harassing them. Only then did things calm down.
Xu Songning only truly relaxed after hearing that Cheng Ou's family had left Shanghai.
Regardless of his reasons for returning to Shanghai, not meeting him is the best arrangement! It's just that her actions today hurt Xiang Yun, and she needs to do something to make amends.
So, Xu Songning sent a message to Xiang Yun.
Xu Songning: Brother Yun, driver Sister Xu is online. What time do you start work tomorrow?
Yun-ge ignored her.
Xu Songning: Brother Yun, look at my abs!
Yun was so angry that he went to take a shower.
This road is blocked; we have to take another one.
Xu Songning knew that Xiang Yun had a habit of waking up early. Whenever he didn't have a flight mission in the morning, he would go for a run in the nearby park.
She got up unusually early, intending to wait for the opportunity. In the past, she would stay in bed and didn't want to go for a run early in the morning. Xiang Yun indulged her and never asked her to go running with him.
Hearing the door to the second bedroom open, she immediately changed into her morning running gear and slowly walked to the park where Xiang Yun ran, where she did warm-up exercises at the finish line while waiting for him.
She jumped high in the air a dozen times, disrupting her calm breathing to add a touch of realism.
Footsteps came clattering in.
Xu Songning has a very keen ear; as soon as he heard the voice, he knew it was Xiang Yun.
She was wearing a tracksuit today, with her ponytail pulled up high without any large hair clips.
Xiang Yun reached the finish line and stopped to rest. Just as he was about to drink some water, a hand suddenly appeared beside him. "Brother Yun, have some water!"
Xiang Yun frowned when he saw Xu Songning's pretty face. "What are you doing here?"
"I go for a morning run," Xu Songning lied through his teeth.
There wasn't even a bead of sweat on her face. Xiang Yun neither exposed her nor took her water.
"Shall we run together?" Xu Songning warmed up on the spot.
Xiang Yun slowly wiped the sweat from his neck, picked up his bag, and walked out. "You keep running."
"So where are you going?"
"go home."
