Chapter 38 I am your uncle’s...wife
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was filled with surprise, their eyes almost popping out of their heads, especially Wen Tingyun. She really couldn't imagine that her proud son would actually lower himself to pursue a scheming woman.
Xu Xian's half-hanging fingertips trembled slightly, and he almost couldn't control his expression, his face was slightly tense.
love at first sight?
It's almost like being attracted by beauty.
She was astonished by his ability to tell lies with open eyes, and secretly lamented that it was a pity that Mr. Jiang did not enter the entertainment industry to act.
With this look, this figure, and this acting skill, he lost the title of Best Actor.
"I think you are just attracted by her beauty. Xianxian is so beautiful!" Jiang Shixin retorted to him. It was obvious that her relationship with Jiang Shibai had always been like this and she couldn't stand him.
There is a three-year age difference between the two of them. Jiang Shixin thinks she is older, while Jiang Shibai is too mature, which makes the two of them look like siblings from an ordinary family, loving and hating each other.
Even after getting married, they didn't change their old habits.
"Isn't that how you treat your brother-in-law? You've been pestering him since you were a child. This is our family tradition, and I can't do anything about it." Jiang Shibai exposed her shortcomings in a calm tone.
This sentence made Jiang Shixin choke and she couldn't utter a single word.
The Jiang family and the Xu family are old friends. Jiang Shixin fell in love with Xu Jing when she was a child and always followed him around. She only got him after she went to college.
"Shi Bai, don't bully my wife." Xu Jing led a little girl about five years old down from upstairs. When he heard this, he immediately defended her.
Unlike Jiang Shibai's aloofness and indifference, he is more gentle and elegant. The rimless glasses on his nose make his whole temperament calm and steady.
As expected of a university professor, he is gentle as jade and full of bookish air.
"Dad, you can't bully my uncle." The little girl with two pigtails said softly, let go of Xu Jing's hand, and jumped towards the sofa.
She likes her uncle Jiang Shibai the most and can't stand anyone saying anything about him, so she protects him very closely.
Xu Jing felt a little helpless when faced with his daughter's behavior of being disloyal. People say that a daughter is a warm and thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket for her parents, and the girl in his family is a warm and thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket for her uncle.
The chubby baby fat on her cheeks swayed with her steps, and Xu Xian inexplicably wanted to pinch it.
The next second, the little girl walked around everyone, without even glancing at Jiang Shibai, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She stopped in front of Xu Xian, and looked at her curiously with her grape-black eyes. She could vaguely see the shadow of Jiang Shixin.
"Hello, auntie, I'm Xue'er, your uncle's niece!" Xu Yixiu was completely familiar and emphasized her identity innocently, fearing that Xu Xian didn't recognize her.
It was Xu Xian's first time interacting with a child, and he forced out a gentle smile. "Hello, Xue'er. I'm your uncle's...wife."
She paused for a moment before saying the last two words, feeling a little shy to say them in front of her family.
The feeling of pretending to be familiar with someone she didn't know made her feel uncomfortable.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shibai's hand that was tearing the orange's white fascia stopped slightly, and his drooping eyes darkened.
The two people's conversation was completely in sync, making everyone present laugh and cry.
"Xue'er, who told you to introduce yourself like this?" Jiang Shixin asked.
Xu Yixiu sat down next to Xu Xian in a familiar manner, squeezing in between her and Jiang Shibai, sticking close to Xu Xian, almost nestling in her arms.
She likes Xiangxiang's aunt.
"No one taught me! I know it myself! Isn't it amazing?"
As she spoke, she stared at Xu Xian with her round eyes, as if asking for praise.
"Well, Xue'er is super amazing. My aunt-in-law didn't even think of this method." Xu Xian had no experience in getting along with children, so he could only praise her mindlessly.
Madam Jiang laughed out loud, "Now we have another lively treasure at home. It's going to be even more lively now!"
Xu Xian's face turned a faint pink when she heard this. She originally thought that wealthy families had weak emotions and that family members might get along just enough, but she didn't expect them to be so harmonious.
She was totally overwhelmed.
Before she could recover, Jiang Shibai directly split the orange in his hand into two, stuffed one half into her hand, and stuffed the other half into Xu Yixiu's hand. His movements were skillful and natural, as if he had done it thousands of times.
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the orange-yellow orange in Xu Xian's hand, and they smiled ambiguously. Jiang Shixin, in particular, said with a look of jealousy, "Dear brother, I haven't even tasted an orange peeled by you!"
Jiang Shibai has lived like a robot since he was a child, only knowing how to study and work. When have you ever seen him take care of someone so considerately and pay attention to everything?
Xu Xian instantly felt that the orange in his hand was a hot potato, and secretly glared at Jiang Shibai.
"Your husband is next to us, it would be inappropriate for me to be too attentive!" Jiang Shibai wiped his hands slowly, not caring at all about Jiang Shixin's thoughts.
Jiang Shixin: “…”
Xu Jing was afraid that she would argue with Jiang Shibai again, so he hurriedly started peeling the orange.
Madam Jiang smiled with relief, "You! Finally, you have some human touch. It's true that marriage is different. You know how to take care of others."
Her grandson sometimes looks gentle and friendly, but in fact he is more distant and indifferent than anyone else. It is not obvious when he treats his family, but it can be seen at a glance when he treats outsiders.
It’s hard to imagine that a cold and aloof guy like him would pursue a girl.
"Yeah." Jiang Shibai rarely refuted and turned his gaze to Xu Xian with a tender look. "Is it sweet?"
Xu Xian inexplicably felt that this display of affection was over the top, and quickly stuffed the remaining orange back into his hand, "You taste it yourself."
Jiang Shibai stared at the orange tangerine in his palm, the sweet fruity aroma lingering at the tip of his nose. He slowly swallowed a slice and said, "It's quite sweet. I bought some good tangerines at home."
This sentence was incomprehensible and Xu Xian didn't understand it, but Xu Jing forced a smile and looked at Jiang Shibai meaningfully.
The two of them stared at each other in the air with unspoken eyes.
It is unknown whether the oranges are sweeter when you buy them or because they have been touched by others.
Xu Yixiu, who couldn't understand the undercurrent between the two of them, thought that the oranges were to be shared, so she jumped off the sofa and distributed the oranges in her hand one by one.
"Grandma! Grandpa! Grandma..." The short Xu Yixiue walked around the sofa and slowly distributed oranges. Her pink princess dress made her look cute.
There were few oranges, and each person could only get one slice. However, the child's innocent behavior touched the hearts of the elders, and they couldn't stop smiling. Wen Tingyun, who had always had a stern face, also showed his first smile of the night.
After dividing the oranges around, she only had one segment left. She didn't look distressed at all. She put it in her mouth with a smile and ate it with relish, her almond-shaped eyes narrowed in satisfaction.
Xu Xian thought she was super cute and soft. At this moment, she suddenly thought that if she was really pregnant, would she give birth to such a delicate little girl?
She seemed to suddenly understand why Jiang Shibai said frankly that he liked his daughter. It turned out that there was a ready-made example at home.
Thinking of this, Xu Xian glanced at Jiang Shibai beside her, and her eyes met his calm ones. The emotions in his eyes spread, burning her heart and she abruptly looked away.
Seeing the good atmosphere, Madam Jiang smiled and said, "Since you two have already obtained the marriage certificate, the wedding can be put on the agenda. It will take at least half a year to prepare, so make plans early."
A wedding is not as simple as just attending. Wedding dresses, rings, venue decoration, etc. all need to be carefully planned to achieve the most perfect effect.
"Yes! Xianxian, what style of wedding do you like? I can help you with advice when the time comes!" Jiang Shixin was very interested in this topic.
"I want to be a flower girl!" Xu Yixiu raised her chubby little hands high, chewing an orange in her mouth, and her speech was not very clear.
This put Xu Xian in a very difficult position. She had no intention of making her marriage public, so how could she possibly hold a wedding?
