Hello
Xu Xi didn't expect that when Chen Shuning came out of the shower, the takeaway hadn't arrived yet. She glanced at the order on the takeaway app and it showed that it would arrive in three minutes.
When she looked up, she saw Chen Shuning wiping her hair with a thick towel. She had already sat down next to her. She was wearing a short silk pajamas with suspenders. Her long, white legs were thin and straight. Xu Xi sat next to her, her heart beating rapidly. She felt like every cell in her body was exploding, and her breathing was almost stagnant.
Xu Xi blinked and looked away, not daring to continue looking. She felt that if she continued looking, she might get a nosebleed. Xu Xi looked at the coffee table, where the freshly cut fruit was still. She casually found a topic to chat about, to distract herself from the tension in her heart.
Xu Xi moved the fruit plate in front of Chen Shuning, very close to him: "Ningning, the takeaway is ready, have some fruit first."
Chen Shuning smiled beautifully. Her wet hair made her look like a hibiscus flower just out of water, gorgeous and charming. She casually put away the thick towel in her hand and looked at Xu Xi.
"good."
Xu Xi looked at Chen Shuning's hair, which was still dripping with water, and took the thick towel from her hand. "Let me help you dry your hair."
"Thank you." Chen Shuning did not refuse. After Xu Xi took the towel, she took the fruit plate in her hand, picked up a piece of fruit with a fruit stick, and handed it to Xu Xi first.
"Take a bite first."
Xu Xi clenched the thick towel in her hand, staring blankly at the piece of fruit for two seconds before opening her mouth to take it. After she had it in her mouth, she mumbled, "You eat it too."
While chewing the fruit in her mouth, she began to wipe Chen Shuning's hair. After about two minutes, the doorbell rang, and the takeaway arrived.
Xu Xi put down the towel in her hand and said, "I'll go open the door. The takeaway should have arrived."
After saying that, Xu Xi stood up and walked quickly to the door, but she didn't expect that before she could open the door, it was opened from the outside.
Xu Xi froze in place, watching the door open and then the person who walked in. It was Chen Shuning's sister, Chen Shuyao, whom she had met before.
Xu Xi blinked, not knowing what to say at this moment. Why did Chen Shuning's sister come over so late at night? Puzzled, she only said two words politely.
"Hello."
Chen Shuyao looked at her indifferently for two seconds before responding indifferently. "Yeah."
"Is Chen Shuning in there?"
"Yes." Xu Xi frowned, having a bad feeling in her heart.
After saying that, Chen Shuyao walked straight inside without even changing her shoes. Seeing Chen Shuning sitting on the sofa, eating fruit from a fruit plate, she breathed a sigh of relief. But the next second, she hurried forward, raised her hand, and hit Chen Shuning on the forehead.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming out? I couldn't get through on the phone. Who are you trying to drive crazy?"
"Speak up! Why did you come out without a word and leave your guests sitting there waiting for you?"
Chen Shuning only glanced at Chen Shuyao, then silently lowered her head and continued eating her fruit. She asked Chen Shuyao calmly, "What else?"
Chen Shuning chewed the fruit slowly. She had never imagined things would turn out like this. Today, her family called her home, saying something was going on, saying there was an important family gathering, and they had sent a driver to pick her up. However, after she got home, she discovered that this so-called family gathering was actually a simple engagement party they had arranged for her.
That was an engagement party. Something like an engagement didn't even need to be discussed with her or notified. It was just arranged like that.
Chen Shuning put the fruit plate in his hand on the coffee table, took a deep breath, and slowly stood up.
"I'll treat you the way you treat me. I went back because I trusted you, but you took advantage of my trust and called me back. You know better than anyone whether he likes me or not. For the sake of so-called fame and fortune, you even wanted me to marry him even though you knew he had three illegitimate children. You said it was for my own good. If it was really that good, why didn't you remarry and marry him?"
After hearing these words, Chen Shuyao was so angry that her hands were shaking. She subconsciously raised her hand and wanted to slap Chen Shuning.
Xu Xi stood aside, watching the slap coming up, and rushed forward quickly. She was very anxious, but she didn't know what to say, and she stuttered nervously.
"No, don't fight. Let's talk it over."
Xu Xi rushed to Chen Shuning, turned around, hugged him in his arms, and took a big step back.
Chen Shuyao's slap missed. She pursed her lips, her hand clenching unconsciously. Her eyes were already moist. Born into a family where profit was paramount, what could she do? Hers was also a marriage arranged by arrangement, hers too... She was just lucky; her partner was a retired soldier who cared about his family.
