Chapter 143 Dad, Aunt Jiang said she likes you!
"I know."
Over here, the dining table was filled with laughter. Ye Yu was a funny guy at heart, and his surprising remarks made Jiang Shiyuan and Xing Zhen laugh non-stop.
Taking advantage of their inattention, Fu Chenzhou got up and went to a dark corner of the corridor to answer the phone.
Laughter filled Xie Jinghuai's ears, and he vaguely heard Jiang Shiyuan's clear, bell-like laughter.
In their five years of marriage, Xie Jinghuai had never heard Jiang Shiyuan laugh like that before—so cheerful, joyful, and unrestrained. It was almost unrecognizable to him.
Xie Jinghuai struggled to breathe, his large hands clenched, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
Are you happy, at ease, and content when you're with Fu Chenzhou?
Jiang Shiyuan, you were the one who kept saying you loved me, but now you're the one who abandoned your husband and children and is having an ambiguous entanglement with another man.
How can a person's feelings change so easily?
From childhood to adulthood, he had everything he wanted, and he was invincible in the business world.
He couldn't bear to see the person who originally belonged to him being taken by someone else. He couldn't stand the fact that the love that was rightfully his was being transferred to a treacherous person like Fu Chenzhou.
No matter what, he was determined to bring Jiang Shiyuan back to the Xie family, so that she could continue to be his wife and Tongtong's mother!
"Mr. Xie, is there something you need?" Fu Chenzhou interrupted his chaotic thoughts.
Xie Jinghuai's voice was terribly hoarse, "Is Jiang Shiyuan with you?"
"Yes, A-Yuan is at my house, and we are having dinner."
Fu Chenzhou asked casually, "President Xie, is there anything you need me to convey?"
Ah Yuan?
When did he start calling Jiang Shiyuan so affectionately?
It felt as if they were a family of three, and he was an uninvited guest who had no sense of propriety and had no sense of shame, disrupting their warm family atmosphere.
Xie Jinghuai felt that every word he uttered was a provocation!
"I'm going there now. When the time comes, have Jiang Shiyuan come out to see me. I have something to say to her." The man suppressed his rising anger, his throat hoarse as if it were about to burst.
"Now? No, we haven't finished eating yet."
Xie Jinghuai's eyes turned red with anger, feeling utterly humiliated:
"Fu Chenzhou, do you think I'm discussing this with you? Jiang Shiyuan and I haven't gotten a divorce certificate yet, she's still Mrs. Xie! Do I need your permission to see her? Who do you think you are?"
Han Xu looked at the president's muscular physique, which was trembling with anger, and shook his head helplessly.
It's starting to look like a cornered dog will do something desperate.
Lost in a daze, Fu Chenzhou put one hand in his pocket, leaned back slightly, and looked towards the restaurant.
Jiang Shiyuan's delicate face, steamed like steamed pork with coconut chicken broth, was deeply reflected in his dark eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his lips:
"Didn't I say I didn't let you see me? What's the rush?"
Xie Jinghuai's back stiffened.
“Ah Yuan was seriously injured. During her hospital stay, she was in so much pain that she couldn’t eat or sleep well. My son felt sorry for his Aunt Jiang, so tonight he specially asked me to invite her to our house so I could cook her a good meal and help her recover.”
Fu Chenzhou leaned against the wall, his eyes deep and somber. "President Xie, after what happened last time, I don't think she'd want to see you again."
It really affects my appetite.
A strong sense of resentment choked him, making his throat tighten. "This is a private matter between my husband and me. You have no right to interfere!"
“I didn’t interfere. How things end up between you two is her own choice.”
Fu Chenzhou curled his lips into a half-smile, "You could say it was you, President Xie, who pushed her to this point step by step."
"you--!"
"Come back later. At least let A-Yuan finish her meal in peace."
After saying that, the man hung up.
Xie Jinghuai stared at the dark screen, a bittersweet feeling welling up inside him and spreading throughout his body.
...
Fu Family Villa.
Jiang Shiyuan really enjoyed the meal this time. She leaned back lazily, her hands folded over her lower abdomen.
She thought to herself, "Thank goodness I'm wearing loose clothes today, otherwise my belly would bulge out and I'd look like I haven't eaten, which would be so embarrassing."
However, she had to say one thing:
Fu Chenzhou's cooking skills are absolutely amazing! This is like a state banquet!
A CEO who can't cook isn't a good cook!
"Ah Yuan is probably going to gain three pounds after this meal."
Ye Yu knew her too well. He rested his chin on his hand and couldn't help but tease her, "Look at your little belly. Did the imperial physician say you're carrying twins?"
Jiang Shiyuan was embarrassed. She was naturally shy and couldn't stand being teased like that. Her face instantly turned bright red. "It's just that Mr. Fu's cooking smelled so good that I couldn't resist..."
"Aunt Jiang, do you like the dishes my dad makes?" Fu Yansi asked, cradling her round little face in her hands.
Jiang Shiyuan didn't think much of it and blurted out, "Yeah, I like it."
Fu Yansi was so excited that he danced around and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Dad! Aunt Jiang said she likes you!"
Jiang Shiyuan's face suddenly turned as red as a ripe peach.
"Fu Yansi, you're quite good at shortening sentences."
Fu Chenzhou frowned and covered his ears with his fingers. "Also, don't be so loud. Your father is sharp-eared and sharp-eyed; he's not deaf."
Ye Yu stared intently at Jiang Shiyuan's flushed cheeks, pursed his lips, and silently clenched his hands under the table.
He could vaguely sense a hint of first love in her shy reaction.
Since deciding to divorce Xie Jinghuai, A Yuan may not seem to have any emotional fluctuations, but unintentionally, he can still see the desolation and melancholy in her eyes that reveal a sense of having seen through the world.
For five years, she poured her heart and soul into the Xie family, burning herself out.
Even though he was determined to escape his hopeless marriage, he was carefree, and his lively, girlish sister, A-Yuan, was ruined by Xie Jinghuai and could never come back.
But the man before her seemed to stir Ah Yuan's once-dead heart once more.
Ye Yu silently withdrew his gaze, picked up the half-finished bottle of dry red wine on the table, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Aunt Jiang, how about I have my dad cook for you every day from now on?" Fu Yansi held Jiang Shiyuan's hand, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
He really wanted to stamp Aunt Jiang's hand with the words:
This is my expectant mother, no one is allowed to take her away!
“Banban, I…” Jiang Shiyuan’s face was still flushed with embarrassment, and her heart trembled again.
She didn't know what was wrong with her tonight; why was she so stubborn and clumsy?
Speak up! Refuse!
"Banban, Aunt Jiang is your guest. It's very impolite of you to be so aggressive."
Fu Chenzhou's high, straight eyebrows furrowed slightly. He held up a glass of red wine with his fair fingers, took a small sip, and his prominent Adam's apple bobbed up and down. "Besides," he said, "am I some kind of idle person? Why would I cook for others every day?"
"Raising you is tiring enough, and now I have to support another one? You should take care of your old father, okay?"
“Oh…” Fu Yansi looked sullen.
Jiang Shiyuan glanced at Fu Chenzhou, whose expression was indifferent, then lowered her eyes and looked away from her face, which had lost its blush.
After dinner, the nanny served fresh cut fruit and brewed some fine tea.
Xing Zhen took Banban to the living room to play chess, giving the adults space to talk about serious matters.
"Attorney Ye."
Fu Chenzhou picked up the teacup with his left hand and held the lid with his right, gently skimming off the floating tea. "Actually, the reason I called you over tonight wasn't just to reunite you with Miss Jiang."
"That's because there's something I'd like to discuss with you in detail."
