Chapter 63 Under the Table
Chen Congyu and Chen Yao left the room. What they didn't know was that this villa was under Jiang Xilin's name and there were actually surveillance cameras in the room.
The conversation between Shen Congyu and Chen Yao was passed to Jiang Xilin word for word.
Even the expressions can be seen clearly.
After a long silence, Yan Zhao tapped the screen and asked, "Are these two serious?"
If Shen Congyu had said in front of Jiang Xilin before that she and Chen Yao had quarreled and were about to divorce, Jiang Xilin thought that was her strategy.
This time, she wouldn't have thought there would be surveillance cameras in the room. In other words, she and Chen Yao had indeed reached the point where they hated each other even if they touched.
Jiang Xilin was still looking at the screen. "It doesn't look fake."
"That's strange. Didn't you say that she chose this man herself and that she's been living well these past few years?" Yan Zhao's eyes were sharp, and his words weren't much better. "It doesn't look like that's the case."
Of course Jiang Xilin could see it.
"That's what the investigation revealed," Jiang Xilin said, looking thoughtful. "Perhaps there's something else going on."
Yan Zhao looked at him. "It's probably complicated. Although I don't know your ex-wife very well, she shouldn't be the type to just take it. If you hate her so much, why haven't you separated yet?"
Only Yan Zhao could call Chen Congyu his ex-wife in front of Jiang Xilin.
"She's really not that kind of person, unless the other party has some leverage over her."
Jiang Xilin turned off the surveillance.
Yan Zhao: "Do you want me to help you?"
"Not for now."
Yan Zhao was about to go out, but Jiang Xilin stopped him.
He was playing with a lighter in his hand. He didn't smoke, but this lighter was left here by the original case a long time ago. It was a very simple style, a very casual gesture, but it seemed inexplicably dangerous.
Yan Zhao waited for him to speak.
"Stop teasing her."
Yan Zhao: "Are you talking about your ex-wife?"
Jiang Xilin only said: "You know."
"I understand, but I don't quite understand why you say that. Are you reluctant?"
Yan Zhao said it as a joke.
With a ding, Jiang Xilin closed the lighter and said, "I'll do it myself."
Yan Zhao shrugged nonchalantly, "Okay, I won't meddle in other people's business."
…
At dinner time in the evening, the person arranging the seats naturally put Chen Congyu and Chen Yao together.
Although Chen Congyu was very unhappy, he didn't say anything on this occasion.
She sat down, and Chen Yao followed and sat next to her, leaving the seat on her left empty.
Chen Congyu didn't take it seriously until the person sitting next to her blew a light breeze that quickly penetrated her nostrils.
It’s Jiang Xilin.
Chen Congyu immediately straightened his back silently and tightened his grip on the knife and fork in his hand.
Xue Mingrui, who had just finished his work, saw this scene, made a gesture to Chen Congyu, and then walked over to Jiang Xilin.
Her voice was soft, so only Jiang Xilin and Shen Congyu heard it.
She asked Jiang Xilin if he wanted to change seats.
Jiang Xilin didn't hesitate: "No need."
Xue Mingrui looked at Chen Congyu helplessly.
Shen Congyu secretly pursed her lips.
With so many people around, Xue Mingrui couldn't force Jiang Xilin to change his seat in a big way, as that would make it seem like he was trying to cover up his guilt.
So Chen Congyu gently shook her head at Xue Mingrui and told her to forget it.
And so began dinner.
Only then did Chen Congyu completely lose the ability to eat.
But Chen Yao seemed to be unaware of his own situation and always picked up food for her and asked her what she wanted to eat.
Chen Congyu responded indifferently one by one, and even ignored him later.
Chen Yao didn't feel anything unusual and his attitude remained good. Occasionally someone talked to him, but he was still gentle and didn't seem to be affected.
Chen Congyu was too lazy to look at his hypocritical appearance, and planned to leave after finishing the food on the plate and come back after the cake was served.
As she was thinking this, she suddenly felt a chill in her calves.
Under the table, someone lifted her trouser legs with their feet.
Judging from the angle, it was Jiang Xilin sitting on her left.
Chen Congyu always avoided looking to the left.
Chen Yao was too sensitive. He was afraid that he would find out something and then take the opportunity to get entangled with her.
But now, Chen Congyu could no longer remain as calm as before.
She lost her appetite and moved her legs to the other side.
I waited a little longer, but there was no movement under the table.
Just as Shen Congyu was about to relax, Jiang Xilin lowered his hand and placed it on her thigh using the table napkin as a cover.
Chen Congyu shuddered and tilted her head to look at him.
Jiang Xilin asked her as if nothing had happened, "What's wrong?"
In the eyes of others, it was she who turned her head first, and Jiang Xilin had nothing to do with it.
Chen Congyu held back from speaking and moved to the right this time.
But the seat is so small, if she moves too much, she will be too close to Chen Yao, and her movements will be easily discovered by others.
So she tried her best to hide, but Jiang Xilin's hand was still able to rest on her leg.
Having admired her useless avoidance enough, Jiang Xilin no longer just put his palm against her thigh, but rubbed it with his palm.
Chen Congyu knew that he did it on purpose. The position of his hand was too dangerous, and it was obvious that he was deliberately trying to provoke her.
She coughed lightly.
This voice was originally intended to remind Jiang Xilin, but was noticed by Chen Yao.
He immediately turned to her and asked, "What's wrong? What do you need?"
Chen Congyu pretended to be calm and collected, picked up the cup at hand, and took a sip, "My throat is itchy."
Chen Yao immediately replaced it with a cup of hot water. "The glass you just drank was fruit wine. If your throat is uncomfortable, don't touch it. Drink some water instead."
"No."
After Shen Congyu finished speaking, he didn't even look at the hot water he brought.
Chen Yao treated Shen Congyu like a disobedient child. Even though Shen Congyu said she didn't want to drink, he still considerately placed the cup next to her.
While she was talking to Chen Yao, Jiang Xilin's hands were not idle.
He already knew the most sensitive parts of Shen Congyu's body and how to touch her to make her react.
In the past, their intimacy was almost always in private spaces, rarely outside, let alone occasions like today.
Shen Congyu thought Jiang Xilin would not go too far.
Who knew she overestimated him.
Almost every time she said a word to Chen Yao, his fingertips would move forward an inch. Even if there were no other movements, every bit of his movement made the back of Shen Congyu's head numb.
The more itchy your heart is, the faster it beats.
She was really afraid that Jiang Xilin would not care. Whether she was discovered by Chen Yao or anyone else here, it would be difficult for her to face it.
Chen Congyu held her breath and tried to cross her legs to prevent Jiang Xilin's hand from taking advantage of the situation.
But he seemed to have anticipated her intention and held down her legs.
The force was warning her not to move.
Chen Congyu was nervous and drank water from the cup from time to time. A glass of fruit wine was soon empty and someone helped to refill it.
She couldn't talk to Jiang Xilin at this time, so she could only take out her cell phone, pretend nothing happened, and send him a message.
