Chapter 1097 - Bother (1/2)

Today, Shen Jiayi had no makeup on her face and looked slightly pale. Her gaze landed on Junyuan and turned a blind eye to Xia Mo who was standing beside him.

“Junyuan.” Seeing that the man was ignoring her, she called him again.

Gooseb.u.mps seemed to crawl all over Xia Mo’s arms.

Meanwhile, Junyuan turned back and glanced at Shen Jiayi indifferently. Shen Jiayi bit her lip. “I have something to talk to you about.”

In other words, she wanted Xia Mo to leave.

Xia Mo stood up and although she felt uncomfortable in her heart, she still left.

Junyuan continued to arrange the medicine. Shen Jiayi looked at his cold side profile and could not help squatting beside him. “Junyuan, can’t we still be friends even though we’re not lovers? We’ve known each other for several years and you know very clearly how I treated you. It’s just that I felt so upset back then, that’s why I said all those mean words to you. I’m not here to get back together, I just want to be friends with you and not be strangers with you.”

“No need,” Junyuan replied faintly.

Swallowing, Shen Jiayi felt choked up. “I heard you went for the operation? Are you all right?”

Junyuan did not answer her.

“I also heard that the operation went smoothly, but you need women to help you…”

A slight hint of displeasure appeared in Junyuan’s eyes. He was normally poker-faced and seldom showed his emotions on his face, but at this moment, he looked slightly angered. “Shen Jiayi, pay attention to your status.”

Shen Jiayi opened her mouth, wanting to say something but Xia Yanran, who had finished her call, came over. “Brother, I’ve booked the private room. It’s at Chuyue Restaurant. We can walk over…”

Xia Yanran did not look properly and thought the person squatting beside was Xia Mo. On a closer look, she realized that it was not Xia Mo and Xia Yanran’s voice trailed off.

Shen Jiayi stood up and held Xia Yanran’s arm affectionately, smiling. “Yanran, you’re going out to eat? I haven’t had dinner yet, you don’t mind me tagging along, right?”

Xia Yanran looked at Shen Jiayi, a complicated feeling in her heart.

She once thought that Shen Jiayi was different from other women, that she would be able to walk into her brother’s heart and become her sister-in-law. But who would have known that an accident would make her show her true colors.

Xia Yanran looked at Junyuan and seeing his cold expression, she could only reply that there were other guests so it was not convenient.

Shen Jiayi said nothing more, smiled and left the drugstore.

After Shen Jiayi left, Xia Yanran went to look for Xia Mo. The little girl was huddled in the corner of the counter, her cheeks puffed up angrily.

Looking at Xia Mo, Xia Yanran thought of how her personality before was a little similar to the little girl’s.

…

After Junyuan finished arranging the medicine, the three of them went to the restaurant. Xia Yanran and Xia Mo walked in front while Junyuan walked behind.

Looking at the two girls in front who had their arms linked together, talking and laughing, Junyuan’s cold face softened.

It seemed like Yanran hadn’t been so happy for a long time.

Moving his gaze away from Xia Yanran, it stopped on Xia Mo for a few seconds before moving away.

…

They arrived at the restaurant and Xia Yanran and Xia Mo were stunned when they saw the figure after they entered the room.

Shen Jiayi welcomed them with a smile. “Yanran, I’m treating tonight, you don’t have to be polite to me.”

Xia Yanran looked coldly at the attendant who was leading the way and the attendant explained softly, “This lady gave Miss Xia’s name and said she was with you.”
