Chapter 163 The Cell Phone from Four Years Ago (1/2)
A Miao crept downstairs. The living room was quiet, but suddenly from the kitchen, there was the sound of dishes colliding. She walked over carefully and saw the man with a sinister face throwing a black fish into the garbage can.
”You're awake?”
Shen Xinglan twisted his head and found the little woman was about to secretly leave.
”Uh... yes, I woke up.” A Miao pulled her neck backward. ”What are you... doing...”
After asking him, she wished that she had bit her tongue.
”It will be ready in a minute. You can go to the dining room first.” Shen Xinglan threw another fish into the frying pan. No matter how well the food was cooked, he had to be handsome!
A Miao unconsciously swallowed saliva. ”I...”
”Aren't you hungry?” Shen Xinglan interrupted her words, turned around, and said lightly. ”Believe it or not, I'll let you go now. Before you see Jiang Quanyu, you will be caught by his fiancee.”
She did not want to leave...
A Miao muttered in her heart, also complaining about why she did not want to leave in the first place.
”Then why are you still standing here?” Shen Xinglan quietly threw another fish into the garbage can.
”I was going to say, go out and I'll do it.” She glanced at the frying pan. ”Not now.”
Shen Xinglan turned his back to A Miao, holding a piece of fish that had already been put into half of the pot. Just as he was about to say something, a white hand appeared in his sight and the fish was taken away the next second.
20 minutes later, the two of them were sitting at the table; braised fish, stir-fried yams, and sweet and sour pork, plus some old duck soup.
”I can do it without your help,” Shen Xinglan said somewhat awkwardly now that he had been driven out of the kitchen and that only the soup was his, with the final seasoning being done by A Miao.
”... Thank you.” A Miao did not want to argue with him. First, she did not have the strength. Second, it was rare that the atmosphere between them could be so peaceful.
Shen Xinglan gave her a bowl of soup with pursed lips. ”What are you going to do next?”
”Can we talk about it after dinner?” A Miao's chopsticks stopped in midair. ”I am really hungry.”
She had been thinking recently about what would happen after Jiang Hua came back. She did not eat well or sleep well. Now as the dust was settling, her heart was beginning to relax. Otherwise, she would not have woken up today until almost noon.
”Eat...” Shen Xinglan took the bowl.
The two of them had a quiet meal and everything was fine except that, someone did not conceal the emotion in his eyes, which made A Miao feel somewhat at a loss.
”So, what do you want to ask me?” Rubbing her stomach, A Miao sat down on the sofa and looked at the man opposite her.
Shen Xinglan looked nervous. ”Are you... going back?”
”What do you mean?” A Miao asked.
”Back to live with Jiang Quanyu,” Shen Xinglan said directly, ”back to his company.”
A Miao looked serious. ”I don't live with him, and we live in the same villa. As for the company, I haven't decided yet. ”
”What's the difference between living in a villa and living together...” Shen Xinglan complained silently for a moment, then deliberately sneered at her. ”Do you think his fiancee will let you dangle in front of his eyes?”
”...” A Miao hesitated. ”At least I have to inform Jiang Hua.”
In fact, she would not go back with her temperament. Would she not be crazy going back while knowing that his fiancee would treat her like a thorn in the side?
”I will move to the house over in the university town,” said A Miao tentatively. ”As for work, I will find another one slowly.”
He nodded. ”Alright, I'll take you there this afternoon.”
She did not expect him to speak so properly. A Miao looked at him and asked, ”What do you want?”
”I want to pursue you,” the man said especially boldly, ”until you promise to come back to me.”
A Miao was about to speak when she was interrupted by Shen Xinglan. ”Don't use Shanshan as an excuse. I have already explained her identity to you. I'm not asking you to promise immediately, but at least give me a chance.”
”Four years have not changed anything.” Shen Xinglan stared at her. ”I believe you, too.”
”I...”
”Alright.” He stood up and said, ”I'll take you there.”
In this way, A Miao was sent back to the house in the university town. She sat on the bed until Shen Xinglan came out of the bathroom with his upper body naked and then she jumped up.
”What are you doing?”
”Taking a shower.” He shook his hair and said, ”I just told you, but you were lost in thought and didn't hear me.”
A Miao pursed the corners of her mouth. ”Can you hear others when you are lost in thought?”
His perfect lower abdomen was in her line of sight. His happy trail extended all the way into the bath towel, revealing a few strands of black pubic hair.
”Pubic hair?” A Miao gasped.
”You... put on your clothes quickly!”
Shen Xinglan slowly put on his shirt with the corners of his mouth raised up, and deliberately buttoned it up bit by bit, looking extremely sexy.
”Bang!” A Miao slammed the door and went out.
”Haha...” Shen Xinglan did not chase after her. If he forced her too urgently, she would be angry, instead, he would slowly get her back this time!
In the evening, when A Miao saw Shen I come in with a suitcase, she had a feeling that she knew it before.
”Miss!” Shen I was particularly excited to pull the suitcases into the master bedroom.
A Miao stopped him. ”Your boss's room is next door.”
”Don't you live together?” Shen I looked innocent and said, ”It's so nice to live in one room!”
”Is it?” A Miao looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. ”Then you two can live together.”
Shen I was embarrassed. He looked at Shen Xinglan on the sofa and saw the latter nod. He reluctantly put the suitcases next door.
As soon as Shen I left, Shen Xinglan said, ”I thought you would throw the suitcases out.”
A Miao was closing the door and was still thinking about what Shen I had just said.
”Miss, the cell phone is in your room drawer.”
