Chapter 45 Fake Marriage
The past is like a dream, so beautiful that it almost seems unreal.
Sometimes Jiang Xu would wonder whether those past events really happened or were just his imagination?
"What are you daydreaming about?"
He Yanting's voice brought her thoughts back to reality.
Jiang Xu looked at the man in front of her in a daze. The once innocent male college student seemed to have been reborn in just a few years, exuding the aura of a superior.
She felt like crying for no apparent reason, and quickly lowered her eyelashes, saying softly, "Nothing, have you bought it?"
"Well, now that we've bought the vegetables, let's go check out the seafood."
He Yanting pushed the cart and Jiang Xu followed beside him.
He then bought some beef, fish, and shrimp. Just as he was about to pay, he suddenly remembered something: "You don't have any seasonings at home, do you? Do you have any pots, pans, or utensils?"
Jiang Xu said awkwardly, "There are only a few simple seasonings, and we have pots, pans, and utensils."
He Yanting curled the corners of his mouth, revealing an expression that said "I knew it".
Then I bought some seasonings, checked out and went home.
After returning home, He Yanting went straight into the kitchen and started busying himself. Jiang Xu owed him a favor today and felt embarrassed to wait for food, so he went into the kitchen.
"How can I help you?"
He Yanting said, "Go soak the rice and pick the green onions."
Jiang Xu did as he said, and although it was clumsy, he did a good job.
"See if this works?"
She showed the picked onions to He Yanting.
He Yanting was processing shrimps, glanced at it and smiled: "Well done."
Jiang Xu was speechless. Is he trying to coax a child?
"Is there anything else I can do?" she asked again.
He Yanting lowered his eyes and focused on preparing the ingredients. His three-dimensional profile was extremely handsome. He said calmly, "Just go to the living room and wait. If you're hungry, eat some fruit."
"oh."
Jiang Xu knew that he was only a hindrance here, so he left with self-awareness.
More than an hour later, He Yanting called her to eat.
She immediately went over to set the table and saw several home-cooked dishes on the table. He Yanting came out holding a casserole.
"This is……"
Jiang Xu smelled a familiar scent.
He Yanting opened the lid of the casserole, and a fresh and rich aroma spread out, instantly arousing Jiang Xu's appetite.
"Isn't this the seafood porridge from that private restaurant? How do you know how to make it?"
Jiang Xu looked at him in surprise.
He Yanting served her a bowl and said, "Eat it."
Jiang Xu sat down, took a sip of porridge, and suddenly froze.
She raised her eyes and asked He Yanting, "Did you make the porridge that Gao Cheng brought that morning?"
He Yanting sat down opposite her and nodded calmly.
Jiang Xu recalled something: "That time at the old house..."
He Yanting was a little embarrassed: "That was my first time making it, so the taste was a little lacking."
Jiang Xu looked down at the porridge, unable to describe the feeling in his heart.
Are you touched?
Maybe a little, but more of a caution.
A voice in her head reminded her: "Jiang Xu, wake up. This man is very capable. Don't fall for him again. In the end, you will be the only one who gets hurt."
"Eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it's cold." He Yanting urged.
"Um."
Jiang Xu suppressed his fluctuating mood and drank his porridge in silence.
This porridge was indeed to her liking. She drank half of the pot by herself. After the meal, she took the initiative to wash the dishes, but was driven out of the kitchen by He Yanting.
Jiang Xu went to the sofa to watch TV. Perhaps because he ate too much, he soon felt sleepy and fell asleep unknowingly.
After a while, she felt a little heavy.
Turning her head, she saw He Yanting leaning against her, his eyes slightly closed, and seemed to be asleep too.
She moved, but He Yanting held her arm down.
"Don't move, let me sleep for a while."
Jiang Xu said: "If you are tired, go home and rest."
He Yanting didn't say anything, but held her tighter and rubbed his face against her.
Jiang Xu glanced at the time. It was already late. She urged, "He Yanting, you should leave."
He Yanting frowned slightly, closed his eyes, and said with a somewhat aggrieved tone: "Let me rest for a while, Ruanruan, I'm really tired."
Jiang Xu was silent.
Forget it, since he is willing to help Chen Jiaojiao, I will endure it for now.
After a moment of silence, He Yanting's breathing gradually became steady and he seemed to have fallen asleep.
Jiang Xu's cell phone rang.
It was the mini program that reminded her that the day for the surgery was approaching.
Jiang Xu stroked her belly and sighed softly: Baby, should I keep you?
He Yanting slept for more than an hour, and Jiang Xu felt half of his body numb, until his cell phone rang.
It was Gao Cheng on the other end of the phone, and it seemed like something had gone wrong with a project.
He Yanting rubbed his brows, his expression immediately becoming serious: "Okay, I'll be right there."
He stood up and walked to the door. Jiang Xu went to see him off. He suddenly turned around and hugged her in his arms, holding the back of her head and kissing her gently.
"Replenish some energy."
He curled his lips and raised his hand to brush away the hair from Jiang Xu's face. "It's the old man's birthday the day after tomorrow, don't forget."
Jiang Xu nodded: "I remember."
After He Yanting left, Jiang Xu couldn't help but recall what happened at the old man's birthday in her previous life. She used Old Lady He to put pressure on He Yanting and forced him to agree to get married on the spot.
That kind of thing will never happen this time. After the birthday party, she will have surgery and stay away from He Yanting.
He turned and went to the study and took out a package from the drawer.
There were two red books inside, which were two fake marriage certificates that she had someone make specially.
He Yanting just wanted to use her to get shares, and Jiang Xu didn't want to get married, so a fake marriage was the best option.
But she felt a little guilty when she thought about deceiving her grandparents.
But thinking of her miserable experience in her previous life, she had no choice but to harden her heart.
She asked for leave the next day.
The HR manager told her that her resignation would be submitted in the morning.
She drove to the airport. Qin Zifei's vacation was over and he was going abroad again.
At the boarding gate, he patted Jiang Xu's shoulder, his eyes full of trust: "I'll wait for you. Although it's a year late, I know you will catch up."
"Okay, I'll try my best." Jiang Xu nodded seriously.
After seeing Qin Zifei off and Jiang Xu just got into the car, He Yanting called.
"Where?"
His tone was heavy, with obvious displeasure.
Jiang Xu had already guessed why and replied, "Outside."
He Yanting asked, "Are you going to resign?"
Jiang Xu: “Yeah.”
"Why?"
Jiang Xu: "I said, I want to continue my studies. This job is not what I'm interested in."
"Not your interest?"
He Yanting scoffed, "Then why did you go to so much trouble to get in?"
Jiang Xu pursed her lips. Why else? For him.
At that time, He Yanting didn't want her to join the company at all. The assessment for her was much more difficult than for others. However, Jiang Xu still completed it very well, which is why she was able to join the company smoothly.
Thinking about it now, it was really stupid.
Jiang Xu narrowed his eyes and looked forward, saying softly: "I'm going to the group now, let's talk about it when we meet."
After taking a look at the two fake marriage certificates in her bag, she secretly made up her mind.
