Chapter 187 Childish
Jiang Xilin was not angry when he saw Xue Mingrui's attitude, but he quickly thought that she might have said something about him with Shen Congyu.
Shen Congyu sat on another sofa without looking at him, and he turned his gaze from her to Xue Mingrui.
He smiled and teased her, "Why do you look like that? Did I provoke you?"
Xue Mingrui whispered sarcastically, "You know what you did."
Jiang Xilin said, "I really don't know."
Looking at his half-smile, Xue Mingrui felt more and more that he really didn't think there was anything wrong.
She wanted to say something to him, but she didn't dare in front of Shen Congyu, and continued to glare at him, "Sister Congyu and I saw you. You attended the cocktail party today with Sister Duan Ke. You lied to us about breaking up, right?"
It seems to be pretty close to what he guessed.
Jiang Xilin sat down and looked at Shen Congyu opposite him, "Where did you see it?"
Xue Mingrui: "Anyway, I saw it."
"It's normal for them to appear together. If you look up, you won't see each other. If you look down, you'll see each other. What's so strange about that?"
"Just a coincidence?"
Jiang Xilin was very calm: "What else do you think it is like?"
Although he was talking to Xue Mingrui, his eyes would occasionally fall on Shen Congyu.
Xue Mingrui wanted to ask him if he was lying, but she had no substantial evidence and she was no match for him.
Finally, she thought there was no need to rush, as she would know sooner or later.
She went over and pulled Shen Congyu to say a few words, then wanted to leave with the puppy.
Jiang Xilin asked her, "Wouldn't you stay a little longer?"
"No, come back another day."
Chen Congyu sent her to the door. When she returned to the living room, Jiang Xilin picked a red grape and put it in his mouth, talking to her: "Do you think the same as what Ruirui said?"
Although Shen Congyu didn't say anything, she still heard clearly the conversation between him and Xue Mingrui.
She hadn't intended to ask him from the beginning.
"Then it's your business. How can it be my turn to ask about it?"
After saying this, Shen Congyu went upstairs again, and it was obvious that she didn't want to be alone with Jiang Xilin.
Jiang Xilin didn't stop her. He sat on the sofa and watched her go upstairs.
Today, after returning to her room, Shen Congyu immediately locked the door, but then she thought that her action was in vain for Jiang Xilin, and she became upset and ignored it.
But she was determined to keep Jiang Xilin away from her tonight and refused.
Jiang Xilin was blocked outside the door by Shen Congyu.
It was not impossible for him to go in if he wanted to, but seeing the closed door, he did not go in again.
Xi Wen packed up all the things that Chen Congyu had left in the house he had rented before and sent them over and put them in the basement.
Shen Congyu probably didn't know about this. She went out early and came back late every day, and never saw Xi Wen deliver anything.
So all the things she didn't bring with her were left there untouched.
Jiang Xilin suddenly thought of something and went to the basement.
The surroundings were very quiet. He turned on the light and inspected the boxes piled up in front of him. From the outside, it was impossible to tell what was inside. Xi Wen had carefully sorted them out, fearing that Chen Congyu would lose track.
Her things didn't pack that much. Jiang Xilin stopped in front of a two-layer stack of cardboard boxes. The top layer was a small box with an accessories label on it.
Thinking that Chen Congyu's clothes and things were all very standard after she returned to Haicheng, Jiang Xilin opened the box in front of him and took a look.
Xi Wen had carefully arranged the accessories so that one could tell at a glance what each one was, so Jiang Xilin could see them clearly without having to look for them specifically.
Because of this, his attention was quickly drawn to a ring.
After looking at it quietly for a few seconds, Jiang Xilin reached out and picked it up. He was not mistaken about the ring placed in the transparent box.
Jiang Xilin was very familiar with it.
After he and Shen Congyu got their marriage certificate, he gave most of his savings to Shen Congyu, and used the rest to buy a ring for Shen Congyu.
At that time, his friends said that the ring was too expensive. Wouldn’t it be better to buy a similar one and save the money?
But Jiang Xilin thought at that time, Chen Congyu married him without even having a wedding. How could she, who loved beauty and demanded quality of life, not want a better ring?
'Almost', Jiang Xilin couldn't imagine that Chen Congyu would be associated with this word.
Even if it was just to save her face in front of her friends, he would buy it for her.
When she gave it to Chen Congyu, she commented, "That's all," but she kept wearing it afterwards.
In fact, even Jiang Xilin at that time thought in his heart that even if he used all his savings at that time to buy a ring for Chen Congyu, it would not be very expensive.
Now Jiang Xilin still had this thought as he looked at the familiar ring in his hand.
When he came to his senses, he didn't expect that Chen Congyu still had the ring with him. He thought he had thrown it away somewhere over the years.
If it was Yuan An who packed these things, he should have told him when he saw the ring, but unfortunately Xi Wen didn't know.
If he hadn't wanted to come and see, he wouldn't have found it at all.
Jiang Xilin stood quietly for a long time, put the ring in his palm, and left the basement.
…
Without Jiang Xilin's interruption, Shen Congyu rested normally at night and did not sleep too long in the morning. She had three meals a day as usual. When she went downstairs for breakfast, she didn't expect that Jiang Xilin didn't go out today.
She wanted to turn around and go upstairs, but Jiang Xilin and her aunt had already seen her coming down.
The aunt is now familiar with the relationship between her and Jiang Xilin. Although she doesn't understand why it's not right, she doesn't ask too many questions and just does her job normally.
The aunt put Shen Congyu's breakfast away and asked her what she wanted to eat for lunch. She then said, "Mr. Jiang said you can't eat spicy food. I will pay more attention to it in the future."
Shen Congyu glanced at Jiang Xilin, not understanding why he still told this to his aunt.
She said to her aunt, "Sure, your cooking is just to my taste."
In the afternoon, Chen Congyu had an appointment with a colleague to do some temporary work, so he planned to go back to the room after dinner to communicate with his colleague.
My mind is on work.
When she was almost done eating and was about to ask her aunt if she could have lunch a little earlier, she looked up and bumped into Jiang Xilin's sight.
She didn't mean to look across, but she didn't expect him to be looking at her.
With her brows slightly furrowed, Shen Congyu felt that he was a little weird. It couldn't be that he had a problem with her because she didn't sleep with him last night.
She asked unhappily, "What are you looking at?"
Jiang Xilin cut a piece of bacon and said, "Why are you so overbearing now? I can't even look at you."
"No, I don't want you to stare at me."
"Then come over here and cover my eyes?"
Chen Congyu scolded him for being childish in her heart, finished her coffee, stood up and ignored him.
She went to the kitchen to talk to her aunt, and when she came out she found Jiang Xilin's eyes still on her. She said in a neither loud nor soft voice, "It's inexplicable."
He quickened his pace and walked out of Jiang Xilin's sight.
Chen Congyu couldn't help but wonder if he knew something again.
