Chapter 241 Is she pursuing my ex-niece-in-law?
"Sister Xiaoruo, this is delicious, you should try it."
Shen Qingzhuo suddenly picked up a piece of spare rib and placed it on Sang Ruo's bowl.
Bo Jinyan's hand, which was holding the chopsticks, suddenly paused for a moment.
He raised his gaze and looked at the woman opposite him.
Sang Ruo's gaze was initially fixed on the piece of spare rib, before she looked up at Shen Qingzhuo opposite her and said, "Thank you."
From beginning to end, she didn't dare to look at Bo Jinyan even once.
Although their eyes didn't meet, Bo Jinyan still noticed the unnatural look in Sang Ruo's eyes.
Sang Ruo naturally felt the intense gaze from the other side.
But how could she dare to look?
Without even looking at her, one could tell just how terrifying Bo Jinyan's expression was at that moment.
"Mr. Shen, you are really considerate, much better than my nephew."
After the man's cold tone fell, Sang Ruo and Chen Anni both raised their eyes in disbelief and looked in the direction of Bo Jinyan.
Chen Anni then realized that something was off about the atmosphere.
I even regretted inviting them to stay for dinner.
The matter between Bo Jinyan and Sang Ruo has not been brought to the forefront to this day.
Shen Qingzhuo's affection for Sang Ruo was completely undisguised and blatant.
Chen Anni subconsciously lowered her gaze and glanced at Sang Ruo somewhat guiltily.
Sang Ruo kept her gaze fixed on the man opposite her, but remained silent.
Shen Qingzhuo smiled faintly, "Mr. Bo, you're joking. How can I compare to Sister Xiaoruo's ex-husband? No matter what, he's still her ex-husband, and I'm nothing..."
"Is that so?" Bo Jinyan said in a nonchalant tone, "I thought Mr. Shen had already won over Miss Sang."
The man's tone was meaningful.
When these words reached Sang Ruo's ears, she looked at him in shock.
Why would he say something like that at this time?
Sang Ruo was about to stop their conversation when Shen Qingzhuo replied seriously, "Sister Ruo, haven't you... received your divorce certificate yet?"
Sang Ruo swallowed unconsciously, and saw a faint blush rise on Shen Qingzhuo's face.
This was the first time she had ever seen such an expression on his face.
"Oh? So, Mr. Shen is pursuing my former niece-in-law?"
Bo Jinyan placed the chopsticks on the table, a dark glint in his eyes.
When he said this, he didn't look at Shen Qingzhuo beside him, but looked at Sang Ruo opposite him.
Shen Qingzhuo spoke frankly, "I do indeed have feelings for Sister Xiaoruo..."
Fearing he might say something abrupt, Chen Anni quickly interrupted him, "Xiaozhuo, this dish is quite delicious, you should eat more."
Shen Qingzhuo was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
Although he didn't finish his sentence, everyone present understood what he was trying to say.
Shen Qingzhuo sensed that something was off. After thanking Chen Anni, he quickly turned to look at the man beside him.
At this moment, Bo Jinyan's gaze was fixed on Sang Ruo opposite him.
Although they didn't say anything, it was as if they had said a lot without each other.
The complex emotions on his face were truly indescribable.
Just then, Bo Jinyan's cell phone rang.
He glanced down, then slowly stood up: "I have some other things to attend to, so I'll be going now."
"Mr. Bo, won't you finish your meal before you leave?"
Chen Anni quickly raised her eyes and looked at the man opposite her.
Bo Jinyan glanced at her, then fixed his gaze on Sang Ruo's face: "No, thank you for your hospitality."
"Goodbye, godfather! Come visit me again when you have time!"
"good."
The man's gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, drifted towards Sang Ruo's direction.
But from beginning to end, she never raised her head to look at him again.
Bo Jinyan tacitly stopped talking to her and strode towards the door.
"Clatter—"
Sang Ruo's upper eyelashes trembled slightly for a moment when she heard the door close outside.
Shen Qingzhuo had already noticed these subtle changes.
After dinner, Shen Qingzhuo received a phone call, and then stood in the courtyard smoking.
Sang Ruo was playing shuttlecock with her child in the front yard.
He gazed at her with deep, dark eyes, extinguished his cigarette, and slowly approached her.
Song Linlin got tired of kicking and took the shuttlecock back to the house. Now, only the two of them were left in the yard.
"Sister Xiaoruo, I really want to ask you a question, is it convenient for you?"
Sang Ruo curled her lips into a faint smile: "Alright! Ask away..."
"What is your relationship with Mr. Bo?"
Shen Qingzhuo looked at her with a serious expression, his voice very low.
After hearing his words, Sang Ruo suddenly froze.
Did he see something?
But at this critical juncture, how can we let him see through our scheme?
She tried her best to remain calm, and smiled gently, "What kind of relationship could I have with him? Of course, we're uncle and niece-in-law, or perhaps we're just family without blood ties! After all, he's Linlin's godfather..."
After hearing her explanation, the man in front of her had a look of surprise in his eyes.
The previous gloomy expression vanished in an instant, revealing the bright moon.
"Is that so?" Shen Qingzhuo curled her lips and asked again, "Is that all?"
"Um."
Sang Ruo didn't dare to say anything more, and just nodded gently.
"May I... ask you one last question?"
Shen Qingzhuo gazed at her with a tender expression, his eyes filled with gentle warmth.
When Sang Ruo saw his gaze, a faint unease suddenly rose in her heart.
She roughly guessed what he wanted to ask, and even though she didn't really like listening, she still said, "Okay."
"You're currently getting a divorce, so you probably haven't started dating anyone new, right?"
Sang Ruo's eyelashes fluttered wildly up and down.
She and Bo Jinyan had indeed been living like lovers for a long time, but they were not officially together, so that man could not be considered her boyfriend at all.
"Sister Xiaoruo..."
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shen Qingzhuo quickly called out to her softly.
After regaining her composure, Sang Ruo shook her head without hesitation: "No."
Having received the answer she wanted, Shen Qingzhuo's mood improved considerably.
Even he, a bystander, sensed something was off about the atmosphere between Bo Jinyan and Sang Ruo.
Because Bo Jinyan asked him a few questions, his expression gradually darkened, and he even left the table midway through the meal.
It's hard not to overthink this...
fine.
Xiao Ru is single.
As long as you're single, everything is negotiable.
"It's getting late, I'll head back now. Your hand isn't feeling well, so get some rest tonight."
"Okay, I'll see you to the door."
After Sang Ruo escorted the person to the door, Shen Qingzhuo turned around and stood face to face with her.
When his gaze fell on her forehead, he subconsciously reached out and wiped the beads of sweat from her brow.
Sang Ruo inadvertently caught sight of an extremely gloomy face.
