Chapter 655 You like me, so you're deliberately avoiding me
"What's up?"
Pei Jinwu blinked and pressed for an answer.
"..."
Jiang Jibai pursed his thin lips and looked meaningfully at Shang Shiyan across from him.
"?"
Shang Shiyan smiled faintly, feigning composure, "Wuwu is asking you a question, why are you looking at me?"
"I……"
Just as Jiang Jibai was about to explain, Wang Ma's voice rang out: "Miss Pei, the little turtle doesn't seem to be eating. Would you like to take a look?"
The two little turtles were a birthday gift she gave to Shang Shiyan.
The names of the two people were also pasted on it.
"etc."
Upon hearing the sound, Pei Jinwu immediately got up and walked to the balcony, whispering to Wang Ma with her head down.
Taking the opportunity, Shang Shiyan walked over to Jiang Jibai and asked, "What happened?"
Jiang Jibai replied, "I've confessed to Lou Ying."
"?"
Shang Shiyan was somewhat taken aback and frowned, asking, "What was her reaction?"
"It scared people away."
Jiang Jibai answered quite directly, "I've been looking for it for two days and haven't found it."
But he didn't dare tell Wuwu.
"..."
Shang Shiyan leaned back on the sofa, a half-smile playing on his lips, and exclaimed, "I never would have guessed you were so brave."
"Stop making sarcastic remarks!"
Looking at the sly old fox, Jiang Jibai threatened with a long face, "Don't forget, you and Wuwu haven't gotten your marriage certificate yet."
"Cough cough."
Shang Shiyan immediately became serious and pressed on earnestly, "So you came here today to confess to Wuwu?"
"Um."
“This is indeed a bit outrageous.” Shang Shiyan handed Jiang Jibai a glass of red wine. “Lou Ying will come to pick up the contract later, and if nothing unexpected happens, she will leave the day after tomorrow.”
"She's been acting like a madwoman these past two days, pressuring me to work on the contract. She's also in a rush to go back to S country. I wonder if it's related to you."
"You mean, she's deliberately avoiding me?"
"uh-huh."
“But before I confessed my feelings to her, she was already deliberately avoiding me.” Jiang Jibai gritted his teeth.
"perhaps……"
Shang Shiyan fell into deep thought. After a few seconds, he raised an eyebrow slightly: "She's also interested in you. She's avoiding you to control her feelings for you."
Will it?
Jiang Jibai couldn't distinguish his feelings, but hearing these words made him feel much more comfortable.
"Whether it is or not, you'll have to find the answer yourself." Shang Shiyan smiled. "That bastard Lou Ying has more tricks up her sleeve than hairs on a cow. Who knows what she's up to all day?"
"Don't call her a dog!" Jiang Jibai's gaze suddenly turned cold.
Shang Shiyan: "?"
Is it your property? Why are you protecting it?
——
The turtle is fine.
I ate too much and have some indigestion.
Pei Jinwu felt relieved, returned to the living room, and checked the time.
The building is almost there.
She looked at Jiang Jibai: "Brother, what did you want to talk to me about?"
A knock came at the door.
Aunt Wang opened the door and said with a smile, "Mr. Lou has arrived."
"Wang Ma, you've become even more beautiful." Lou Ying still acted nonchalantly, making Wang Ma overjoyed with his compliment.
"Little Sister Wu, I've come to get it—"
Lou Ying looked into the living room and met Jiang Jibai's face.
Her upturned lips immediately drooped, and her expression became awkward.
"I've come to get the contract."
"OK."
Pei Jinwu looked at her and said in a low voice, "The contract is here. You can sign it when you get back to S country. Aunt Wang made your favorite salt and pepper shrimp. Why don't you stay for dinner tonight?"
"..."
Lou Ying moved slowly, put the contract into her bag, and glanced at Jiang Jibai.
He glanced at it, then quickly looked away.
How did he end up here?
"I don't want to eat anymore..." Just as Lou Ying was about to refuse, Wang Ma's voice rang out: "The food is ready, let's serve it separately."
Louying: ...
over.
There's no way to run away.
Lou Ying was forced to sit down to avoid embarrassment, and deliberately sat far away from Jiang Jibai.
"?"
Pei Jinwu was full of doubt as she watched the two of them behaving strangely.
Louying is so quiet today.
The eldest brother was also puzzled; he didn't criticize Lou Ying at all.
The two were surprisingly...harmonious.
"Shang Shiyan, don't you think my older brother and Lou Ying are strange?" Pei Jinwu asked, leaning close to Shang Shiyan's ear.
"A little."
Shang Shiyan pinched her nose and couldn't help but smile. "Let's eat first. We still have things to do after we eat."
Pei Jinwu: "What is it?"
Shang Shiyan: "Something big!"
If I don't eat it now, I might not be able to eat it after I find out the truth!
At the dinner table.
Pei Jinwu asked Jiang Jibai for the third time what he wanted to see her about.
Jiang Jibai: "It's a matter of emotions."
"?"
Lou Ying just picked up a piece of pork rib, which then fell back into her bowl with a smack.
She was restless and uneasy.
Isn't the pretty boy supposed to confess?
"I've recently developed a crush on someone," Jiang Jibai said bluntly.
Everyone at the table turned to look at him, including the person in question.
"ah?"
Pei Jinwu didn't react immediately, blinked, and asked in confusion, "When did this happen? Who do you like?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Lou Ying coughed twice, interrupting Pei Jinwu's question.
"recent."
Ignoring Lou Ying's reaction, Jiang Jibai continued, "I came here today just to ask for your opinion."
"that……"
Lou Ying stood up, fiddling with her chopsticks in a flustered manner, and said absentmindedly, "I'm going to the restroom. You guys eat first."
"?"
Pei Jinwu put down her chopsticks and stared at Lou Ying with a puzzled look.
She's really strange.
“Brother, please continue,” Pei Jinwu said. “Who is the person you like? Why do you need my permission?”
"I'm going to the restroom too."
Jiang Jibai stood up and smiled slightly, "I'll go to the guest room."
"Do as you please."
Shang Shiyan nodded slightly and continued to serve food to Pei Jinwu, saying, "Never mind them, I'll eat ours."
"..."
Pei Jinwu ate her spare ribs, looking at the two empty chairs.
He fell into deep thought.
——
In the restroom.
Lou Ying opened the window, attempting to sneak away.
Keep reading.
Her legs went weak, and she silently retreated.
It's too high.
If she falls, she'll break into pieces here and there.
Lou Ying paced back and forth in the restroom several times, thinking that what is meant to be will be, and what is meant to be will be.
Jiang Jibai likes her, but that's not her fault.
She didn't flirt with him.
Thinking about this...
Lou Ying opened the bathroom door and was about to leave when a dark figure squeezed in.
Jiang Jibai?
"W-what are you doing?" Lou Ying was terrified when she saw the man who suddenly barged in.
"I have a question for you."
Jiang Jibai approached her, his expression terrifyingly serious. "Why were you deliberately avoiding me all this time?"
"I said I'm busy, why would I avoid you?" Lou Ying leaned against the wall, feigning composure: "Jiang Jibai, isn't this just pointless?"
"Because you like me too."
Jiang Jibai stared at her face and said, word by word, "You like me, so you're deliberately avoiding me, is that it?"
"I didn't!"
Lou Ying panicked, her smile became particularly ugly, and she denied it.
"You have!"
Jiang Jibai moved closer to her, leaned down, his gaze fixed on her face, and said in a lazy yet alluring tone, "I'm a movie star. Can you pass muster an acting skill in front of me?"
"Lou Ying, your face is red!"
——
good evening.
