Chapter 61 My wife and I are dating
Jiang Shibai raised his head slightly, frowned slightly, and his indifferent eyes fell on the woman's smiling face. A trace of confusion flashed across his eyes, as if he was thinking about her name.
"Zhai Jin?" His voice was neither salty nor bland, but with a hint of inquiry.
Zhai Jin didn't hear it, completely overwhelmed by the joy of reunion. His cold face was quickly covered by a smile, "It's me! Brother Shi Bai, I didn't expect to meet you here. I thought we would have to return to China to see each other! What a coincidence."
She didn't expect that she would see Jiang Shibai when she just came out to have dinner with friends today. She just caught a glimpse of this face from afar and didn't dare to confirm it for a while.
Jiang Shibai stood up calmly, a seemingly gentle but actually distant smile forming at the corner of his lips, "What a coincidence, it's been several years since we last met."
The Zhai family also owns a well-known medical device company in Hai City. The two companies have business dealings and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results through sharing of resources, technology and market information.
As for Zhai Jin, he actually didn't have much impression of him. It seemed that he often chatted with his mother when he was a child, but he probably didn't remember meeting her many times.
In response to his polite greeting, Zhai Jin's eyes lit up and he blurted out, "It's been four years! We haven't had any contact since I came to Japan to study."
There was a four-year age difference between them. When she was a child, her home was only separated from Jiang Shibai's by a wall. She had liked him since she was a child, but after Jiang Shibai went to college, the Jiang family moved and the two had only met a few times.
She came to Japan to study four years ago, and the two have not seen each other since then.
Fortunately, her studies have been completed. If she hadn't been tied up by something in Japan, she would have returned home long ago.
But she didn't expect to meet him before returning home. Is it God helping her?
Xu Xian put down his chopsticks and stared at the two people chatting. He clearly saw that the black-haired woman in front of him had an unconcealable joy in her eyes when she faced Jiang Shibai, which went beyond the scope of friends reuniting.
More like liking him.
Thinking of this, she looked at the two of them with interest.
Perhaps her gaze was too intense, Zhai Jin noticed her after calming himself down, and his heart skipped a beat when he met her inquiring eyes.
The woman was too beautiful, with a gentle temperament. Her palm-sized face was extremely dazzling, and her faint eyes seemed to be able to see through her.
Zhai Jin pursed his lips, suppressing his inner excitement, and said generously and politely, "Is this lady your client? Then I won't bother you with business. I'll contact you after I return home."
Jiang Shibai raised his eyebrows when he heard this, lowered his eyes to glance at Xu Xian, and softened his voice a little, "No, my wife and I are on a date."
When he mentioned the word "wife", the corners of his mouth, which were originally slightly curved, could not help but rise. Compared with the polite smile he showed to Zhai Jin, it was more sincere and even doting.
Zhai Jin suddenly clenched the black handbag in his hand, his eyes full of disbelief. After a while, he whispered, "Madam?"
She had spoken to Aunt Jiang on the phone two months ago, and hadn't heard that Jiang Shibai had a girlfriend?
Why is there suddenly another wife?
"I'm married." Jiang Shibai raised his left hand, the silver ring on his ring finger gleaming, stinging Zhai Jin's eyes.
His tone was full of sweetness, and his heart and eyes were filled with the silent woman sitting in her seat.
Zhai Jin forced a smile, his voice trembling slightly, as if holding on to a last glimmer of hope, "Why haven't you received any news? Aunt Jiang said you didn't have a girlfriend a while ago!"
"I got the certificate a month ago." Jiang Shibai explained calmly, then turned to Xu Xian and said gently, "My dear, this is my childhood neighbor, the daughter of Zhai Lin Medical, her name is Zhai Jin."
Neighbor?
Zhai Jin repeated these two words in his mind, and a trace of hurt flashed in his eyes. It turned out that she was just a childhood neighbor to him, not even a friend?
Then what about her love for more than ten years?
Xu Xian stood up from his seat, narrowed his eyes, and put on a proper smile. He was very calm, as if he hadn't noticed Zhai Jin's distraught state. "Hello, I'm Jiang Shibai's wife, Xu Xian."
As she finished speaking, she extended her hand towards Zhai Jin.
Zhai Jin stared at the hand in mid-air, a flicker of resentment in her eyes. Due to Jiang Shibai's presence, she managed her expression and returned the handshake, saying, "Hello, Miss Xu."
After a brief shake of hands, the two immediately let go.
Zhai Jin stared at Xu Xian's face in a daze, but ultimately didn't ask any more questions. He tried hard to maintain a smile on his face, pinching his palms tightly with his nails, trying to regain a bit of rationality.
"Brother Bai, Miss Xu, and my friend were still waiting for me, so I left first."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for the two to respond, she left quickly, her back looking like she was fleeing in panic.
Xu Xian stared at her disappearing figure, recalling what Zhai Jin had just called her.
Brother Shi Bai, Miss Xu?
It seems that she really likes Jiang Shibai, otherwise why would she not want to acknowledge her identity as Mrs. Jiang.
After sitting back in their seats, neither of them mentioned the little episode about Zhai Jin until the dinner was almost over. Xu Xian watched Jiang Shibai flipping the barbecue, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
She pinched her throat and said, "Brother Shi Bai, I want to eat the grilled shrimp in front of you. Can you peel it for me?"
Jiang Shibai's hand holding the clip paused, he looked up in disbelief, and met those smiling eyes. His heart couldn't stop beating wildly, and he almost couldn't maintain his expression.
Her voice was originally slightly sweet, and it seemed sickly under the deliberate affectation, but it was particularly able to tease Jiang Shibai's heart, especially when she called him brother.
It cost him his life.
Jiang Shibai's protruding Adam's apple rolled slightly, his dark eyes were full of mystery, and he said in a hoarse voice: "What did you call me?"
"Brother Shi Bai! How come other women can yell at you, but your wife yells at you and you're not happy?" Xu Xian pouted provocatively, his eyes full of teasing.
She likes to tease Jiang Shibai.
Jiang Shibai stared at her bright and beautiful face and instantly understood what she meant. Was she jealous?
Thinking of this possibility, he felt inexplicably excited.
"Of course I like it when you call me brother, but the location is not right." Jiang Shibai took out the grilled shrimp and put on gloves to peel the shrimp for her.
Xu Xian frowned, his face full of confusion, "What's inappropriate about this?"
Is there a time and place for calling someone brother?
Jiang Shibai peeled the shrimp, picked it up with chopsticks and passed it to Xu Xian's mouth. After seeing her take a bite, he said slowly: "If you call me brother, I will react."
"If you want to scream, we can go back to the hotel and scream all night long."
Xu Xian stopped chewing the shrimp meat and his face turned red instantly, like a red shrimp. He couldn't swallow or spit out the shrimp meat in his mouth, and stared at the culprit in front of him.
The lights in the barbecue restaurant are a bit warm, and they are getting hotter and hotter on my face. My ears are so red that blood seems to be dripping out. What kind of vicious words are these?
Finally, Xu Xian swallowed the shrimp meat, drank some juice to cool down, and whispered: "Jiang Shibai, you are so dishonest and disrespectful to your elders."
