Chapter Sixty-Nine
"It's nothing," Jiang You said, ignoring the lingering coldness on his leg, and looked away.
Xia Yan, who was walking ahead, turned around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Just as she was about to speak, the man looked up at her face, then moved his gaze to Xia Yan, and said politely and frankly, "I accidentally bumped into Miss Jiang."
Xia Yan glanced at the girl, then at his brother, neither of them seemed to care. He then pulled the girl along and continued walking forward.
Jiang You had just sat down when he heard the man, who exuded an air of nobility and restraint, say calmly, "Little brother, aren't you going to introduce me?"
"Oh, right," Xia Yan stood up, having forgotten about it during the earlier incident. "Youyou, this is my brother, Xia Bei. Call him brother with me. Brother, this is Jiang You, whom I often mention to you."
At this point, Xia Yan's thin lips curved into a smile, his ears flushed red, and his captivating peach blossom eyes sparkled with light: "She's also my girlfriend... your sister-in-law."
The underlying meaning of the words is marriage partner.
Lu Shi'an paused as he arranged the cards on the table, his raven-feather-like eyelashes drooping, casting a faint shadow under his eyes.
Xue Yun stared wide-eyed in astonishment. Was this shy boy still the same Xia Ge who was indifferent to everything and arrogant in his memory?
I've never seen him blush.
Is Xia Yan really going to have an affair with this unremarkable girl?
Xu Yan was rather shrewd, and what surprised her was that the girl was actually the one in control of the relationship.
During her conversation with Jiang You that day, it was clear that the girl didn't have much affection for Xia Yan, and even when they talked about the future, she showed resistance in her words.
Now it's clear that Xia Yan is deeply involved.
Moreover, the Xia family needs to be mindful of interpersonal relationships and social interactions everywhere. No, every family should be mindful of interpersonal relationships.
It's going to be difficult for a girl with such a socially awkward personality to fully adapt.
There are too many factors that prevent these two people from being together, so it's impossible for them to be together.
Xu Yan shook her head. Why was she thinking so much? What did it have to do with her?
However, she smiled slightly. Xia Yan had had it too easy. He had a strong background and an outstanding older brother, which meant he hadn't had to shoulder the burden of the family. He had never encountered any setbacks or troubles in his life.
He began to look forward to seeing Xia Yan suffer his first hardship; it would surely be very interesting.
Unlike the complicated thoughts in other people's minds, Jiang You was extremely flustered. She thought this was a breakup party, but it wasn't? Not only was it not, Xia Yan even introduced her to his family!
This...this isn't right, is it?
Xia Bei raised an eyebrow and stood up. His fitted shirt outlined his muscular chest, the contours of which were faintly visible. With his breathing, it seemed to contain endless energy, ready to burst forth at any moment.
He stared at the girl, a gentle smile playing on his lips: "Hello."
The social circle of Jiangyou had never before adopted the etiquette of shaking hands.
She stood up, her head in a daze, and said, "Hello, hello."
The moment her palm touched him, the man's large hand clenched tightly, his palm pressed firmly against hers without any gap.
The force made Jiang You's body tremble. She didn't feel anything was wrong and thought it was like what was shown on TV, that once they held hands, they would separate. So she tried to pull her hand back, but it was gripped even tighter and she couldn't pull it back at all.
The warm, strong hand made her very uncomfortable. She looked at the man helplessly, and their eyes met in the air. Like a lion on the savanna, he locked onto her.
