At this moment, she is the former.
Chen Ji had never been stared at so boldly by a woman before, especially in this strange position where she was almost lying on his lap.
The two were so close that he could smell the girl's fragrance.
Chen Ji turned his head slightly, a little awkwardly, and coughed softly.
Xu Ruantang then realized what was happening and hurriedly made her way away.
She had been kneeling for too long, and when she suddenly raised her hand, she lost her strength and fell forward.
The baby is sleeping in front of her; if she moves like this, she'll definitely roll over onto the child.
Without thinking, Xu Ruantang instinctively reached to the side, her other hand pressing down on Chen Ji's leg.
Her intention was to hold onto the cabinet next to her, but she only managed to grab a thin layer of fabric.
With a casual tug, a "rip" sound was heard.
Xu Ruantang fell to one side with the force, and the hard, warm touch beside her was very clear.
She turned her head blankly, and what she saw was a strong, muscular chest and a military green shirt with four buttons popped open.
Xu Ruantang: "......"
A large-scale social death scene.
Opportunity favors the prepared mind.
But she's not prepared, so why force her to stay?!
She doesn't deserve it!
Don't make unnecessary preparations if you don't have the opportunity.
Xu Ruantang jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), glanced at Chen Ji's cold and stern face, and thought to herself that she had gotten herself into trouble.
If I offend a big shot, will I get assassinated?
Her hands reacted faster than her brain; as if possessed, Xu Ruantang reached out and buttoned Chen Ji's shirt back up, one button at a time.
When she got to the top one, her hands were shaking so badly that she couldn't fasten it for a long time.
"I'll do it myself."
Chen Ji lowered his eyes, gently stepped back, and spoke in a low, emotionless tone.
Xu Ruantang's hand froze on the spot, and she closed her eyes weakly.
No wonder no woman wants to take advantage of being close to Chen Ji; his appearance and personality are indeed not pleasing at all!
Cold and hard, she is born with the fate of being unable to attract romantic relationships.
If it were a young, handsome man, a limp wouldn't be so bad, but he's so terrible, he's not good at anything.
Tsk tsk.
You bought a wife for three thousand yuan, aren't you even going to try her out?
Xu Ruantang was startled by her own thought. It was too crazy! Everyone said that he was no longer capable!
Another voice in my head said, "Platonic love is also acceptable!"
Anyway, we already have children.
"Ptooey! You're really hungry!"
Xu Ruantang spoke up subconsciously.
The moment the words left her lips, the already awkward atmosphere in the room became even more strained.
"Chen Ji, may I come in?"
A voice rang out from outside the door; it was Aunt Wang from next door.
"Okay." Chen Ji glanced at Xu Ruantang with a seemingly casual look, and said in a low voice towards the door.
Thank you, Aunt Wang, for getting me out of that predicament. Thank you, Aunt Wang, I love you, Aunt Wang.
Xu Ruantang breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Wang brought in two bowls, one of which was a large bowl of steaming stir-fried vegetables.
Xu Ruantang glanced at it and saw cabbage, tofu, vermicelli, and sliced meat.
Wow, the food looks pretty good.
The other bowl contained rice, a whole large bowl, which Xu Ruantang felt was enough to make her unable to digest even if she went up the mountain all night.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Xu, come and eat! Your auntie made a lot. If you're still hungry, Xiao Xu can come and get more bowls!"
Aunt Wang smiled broadly, and Xu Ruantang quickly accepted it.
She looked around the room, but it seemed there was nowhere to put it...
Aunt Wang, familiar with the place, found the small table behind the door and set it up directly on the kang (a heated brick bed). "Here, put it here."
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Wang."
"He who eats another's food is bound to do so," Xu Ruantang smiled brightly, praising Aunt Wang with her little mouth: "Auntie, you're such a good cook! It smells so good!"
On second thought, she felt she couldn't take advantage of others like that, so she said, "Don't cook tomorrow, I'll cook and you can come over and eat!"
If you eat someone else's food, you should repay them with a meal in return.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang was not happy at all; in fact, the smile on her lips froze for a moment.
She rubbed her hands on her clothes and looked at Chen Ji. "Little Chen, is there something I did wrong? You have to tell me so I can correct it."
Xu Ruantang's gaze also fell on Chen Ji's face.
The latter remained calm, while Xu Ruantang was not so calm and was somewhat confused.
But she quickly realized what was happening, because Chen Ji said, "No, Auntie, don't overthink it. She just arrived and doesn't know."
After Aunt Wang left, Xu Ruantang blinked her big eyes and asked, "What don't I know?"
“I paid Aunt Wang to help take care of Xiaobao and cook.”
Chen Ji has a magnetic and pleasant voice, and speaks in a calm and unhurried tone.
Xu Ruantang nodded, "Okay."
Chen Ji: "?"
"I mean, I understand!" Xu Ruantang, who couldn't control her utterance, really wanted to put a lock on her loose tongue.
Xu Ruantang originally wanted to eat separately from Chen Ji, but Chen Ji served her a bowl of rice and pushed it in front of her, indicating that she should eat quickly.
There was absolutely no intention of asking her to get the empty bowl.
Being watched by a powerful figure, and too embarrassed to express any dislike for them, Xu Ruantang readily accepted the situation.
Anyway, the man across from me is quite handsome, so eating with him isn't a bad idea!
She used to have to use her phone while eating, but now, looking at the face in front of her that was even prettier than a celebrity, she treated it like watching TV.
Chen Ji ate very well, slowly and deliberately, without making any smacking noises.
Xu Ruantang was somewhat puzzled.
Didn't they say he used to be a soldier?
This eating speed doesn't seem like it!
A large, well-proportioned hand was extended in front of Xu Ruantang. She looked down and found a piece of meat with alternating layers of fat and lean meat in the bowl.
"Why aren't you eating meat? Go ahead, I'm full."
Chen Ji's tone wasn't intimate, but when he spoke in his deep, magnetic, alluring voice, it carried an unconscious seductive quality.
