Chapter 100: A Lifetime of Two
Xu Xian entered the bathroom and took another shower. Jiang Shibai called someone to send him all the necessary clothes and ointment.
He did not do anything excessive. After handing the clothes and ointment to Xu Xian, he went into another bathroom to take a shower.
By the time the two of them had finished packing, the hotel had already delivered the meals to their room.
Xu Xian was eating while browsing her phone. The gold chain on her ankle had been taken off, and her light blue skirt was swaying gracefully.
Suddenly, a message popped up on the phone.
Li Nanyan: [Baby! Are you going to the Jiang family's manor today?]
Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, not understanding how she knew her itinerary.
The next second, another message appeared in the chat box.
Bai Han said you guys are having a party at the manor this afternoon and invited me to join you. I'm here to ask you, if you go, I'll go too.
Xu Xian: [I’m going.]
[But are you going there for me? Or for Bai Han? (Gossip.jpg)]
Some time ago, Li Nanyue came back from France. After the two had a meal and went shopping, she threatened to go home to resolve the marriage issue.
The result was nothing, but it actually accelerated the process of their marriage.
During this period, she did not inquire about the progress between Li Nanyan and Bai Han.
Based on her understanding of Li Nanyue, if she was not interested in Bai Han, she would not go to the party even if everyone else went.
Li Nanyan: [Baby! What's the point of exposing me?! I'm weak-hearted, what if I get over it?! (Pissed.jpg)]
Xu Xian: [Overacting. (shame.jpg)]
Li Nanyan: [My grandfather threatened to commit suicide, so I had no choice but to marry him. He's doing well, and I'm not at a disadvantage. We can go our separate ways after marriage.]
The last time she returned home from France, she wanted to explain the cancellation of the engagement to her family, but she didn't expect that the two families would have dinner together and start discussing the marriage directly.
After the dinner that day, she was so angry that she dragged Bai Han out for a drink, intending to get him drunk, embarrass him, and vent her anger.
Unexpectedly, he was fine, but she was very drunk and completely blacked out. She didn't even remember how she got to bed.
The two of them had been interacting with each other quite a bit during this period, and they had developed some feelings for each other.
Xu Xian knew that they had slept together, but he was not surprised and stopped teasing her.
[Just think it through. Don't get married blindly like me.]
Li Nanyan: [Yo yo yo! Your foolish marriage is so sweet it's killing me.]
The two of them talked about almost everything, and Li Nanyan had a comprehensive understanding of the recent developments in Xu Xian and Jiang Shibai's relationship.
Xu Xian stared at the message, pursed his lips unnaturally, and glanced at Jiang Shibai who was eating with his head down.
The man's movements were elegant, and even though he was eating simple meals, it felt like he was enjoying delicacies from land and sea.
Perhaps sensing her burning gaze, Jiang Shibai looked up as if by telepathy, and his eyes met those rippling ones, with the corners of his eyes turning red.
"My dear, watch me while I eat?" He smiled indulgently, his voice lazy and full of teasing.
Xu Xian: “…”
"Don't be so narcissistic. I just want to ask you how my sister and I's private flower viewing turned into a party?" She blinked her confused eyes, looking puzzled.
Jiang Shibai forgot about this. The scene just now was too erotic and no one would take such a small matter to heart.
He recounted the whole story.
She was shocked to hear that he and she were originally going to the manor together and Jiang Shixin's visit time was irregular.
Xu Xian patted his chest with lingering fear, as if talking to himself, "That's good, it'll be more lively with more people."
She didn't want to be alone with Jiang Shibai again, for fear of an accidental conflict.
There are many people at the party, so I don't think he would dare to behave inappropriately.
When Jiang Shibai heard this, a smile appeared on his stern brows, as if he understood what she meant, and he didn't say much.
After lunch, Jiang Shibai drove Xu Xian to the manor owned by the Jiang family.
The manor covers an area of more than 2,000 acres and is located on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery.
A huge European-style castle building stands in the center, surrounded by green lawns and trees, with beautiful fountains flowing, and a pure white piano as decoration sitting under the white dome.
The evergreen trees serve as a cover and divide the estate into several areas. With the castle as the center, there are horse farms, golf courses, orchards in various corners of the estate, and there is even a building dedicated to indoor entertainment.
The roadside from the gate to the castle entrance is planted with flowers of various colors, all of which are cold-resistant varieties. They are full of vitality and beautiful, and become a touch of warmth in winter.
When the two arrived, all the partygoers except Jiang Shixin were already playing on the lawn next to the castle.
The nonchalant Du Yuanzhou, wearing a pink sweatshirt, was relaxing in a rattan chair, tasting wine nonchalantly, and was the first to notice them.
Seeing the couple holding hands affectionately, he called out, "Hey! The newlyweds are here! It's late enough! If they don't come soon, our first round of barbecue will be over."
The others who heard the voice turned their gazes towards Xu Xian and Jiang Shibai who were approaching, with ambiguous looks in their eyes.
Xu Yixiu, who was originally playing Lego with Li Nanyan, rushed over like a little firecracker. She was wearing a fluffy yellow princess dress, her two little braids swaying in the wind, and the ribbons and hair ornaments on them flying, like a little princess on the run.
She left the group of people behind her and stopped in front of Xu Xian happily, raising her soft face.
"Aunt, it feels like a long time since I last saw you! I miss you so much! Do you miss me?"
They had just met yesterday, not even 24 hours had passed. Xu Xian did not expose her, but instead stared into her bright and sparkling eyes, smiling brightly, "Yeah! I miss Xue'er so much, too."
As she spoke, she let go of Jiang Shibai's hand and touched her furry head.
"Hehe!" Xu Yixiu smiled shyly, and naturally put her chubby little hands into the slightly larger palms of the two men, jumping and holding their hands as she walked towards the lawn.
The sky is blue and the clouds are white, the azure sky is endless, the green mountains are rolling and the natural scenery serves as the backdrop of the picture. The three people with extremely high looks outline the most important part of the picture, like a beautiful painting.
Li Nanyan immediately took out her cell phone to take a picture, and then sent it to Xu Xian’s WeChat.
The niece looks like her uncle. Xu Yixiu and Jiang Shibai have somewhat similar facial features if you look closely. When you see the three of them holding hands, people who don’t know the situation might think they are a family of three.
Bai Han, who had come over at some point, saw this and said quietly, "Let's have a daughter in the future!"
Li Nanyan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and replied halfheartedly, "Then you can have your own child! I won't have children, I'm a DINK."
She didn't even plan to get married, let alone have children.
Bai Han Qingjun's face stiffened slightly, then as if he had made up his mind, he nodded and said, "That's fine, we can live together for the rest of our lives."
Li Nanyan: “…”
Looking left and right, Du Yuanzhou suddenly felt that he was a little redundant. Everyone was in pairs, making him look very lonely.
He does have a regular female companion, but today's occasion is a gathering of childhood friends, so it is inappropriate to bring a bed partner.
Thinking of this, he turned his cold gaze towards Xu Jing who was grilling, and said in a sad voice, "Only you, Old Xu, am like me!"
"Thank you for the invitation! I have a wife." Xu Jing understood his thoughts and smiled at the corners of his warm lips.
Du Yuanzhou's mouth twitched slightly.
The next second, Jiang Shibai, who had already walked to his side, gave him a fatal blow, "I'm a newlywed, and you're alone."
It was obviously a response to Du Yuanzhou's teasing towards the couple just now.
Du Yuanzhou's heart was instantly stabbed countless times. He must be unlucky this year.
