Chapter 347: I don’t dislike her

After a hectic journey, the two finally made it back to the apartment safely.

When they got off the car, both of them simultaneously felt relieved.

Xia Shiyu went to the door and took out her key, pretending to be calm, but before she could open the door, she dropped it on the ground.

”Why don't I just go sleep outside?” With how nervous Xia Shiyu looked, Jiang Chen made this proposal in a quiet voice.

[I'm just crashing at your place; we're not doing anything naughty. Why are you so nervous?! You're making me nervous too.]

”No, no need. It's too much trouble.”

[No, no, it's probably more convenient…] Jiang Chen said in his mind.

As she finally lined the key up with the lock, Xia Shiyu seemed to be battling with something internally. She finally pushed the door open with one foot and stiffly stepped into the house.

[Everything was fine during the day…] Jiang Chen ridiculed her in his mind as he stared at Xia Shiyu's back.

Jiang Chen followed her inside as he was dragged to the spare bedroom.

The layout of the bedroom was feminine. It looked like where Ayesha stayed when she was protecting Xia Shiyu before. The sheets had the smell of sunshine; they were clearly hung out to dry outside not long ago.

Xia Shiyu, with a rigid look, threw Jiang Chen a set of spare keys before she hastily left the bedroom. She didn't have the fluidity she had when she first invited Jiang Chen to crash at her place.

Jiang Chen shook his head and sat on the bed. He took out his phone and called his parents and Ayesha separately.

His parents were enjoying their time on Coro Island. Not only did they live in a mansion, Jiang Chen also hired two caretakers to care of them.

Jiang Jianguo enjoyed fishing before, but since the river near their old place was too populated to fish and Fanyang Lake was too far away from home, he wasn't able to engage in his hobby. Now that he lived near the sea, it was possible to fish only a couple steps away, so he picked his hobby back up. He spent all day fishing with Carter from morning to night.

In their conversation, Jiang Jianguo kept bragging to his son about how big the fish he caught were. Although they tasted salty, when they were mixed with ginger and garlic sauce, they tasted surprisingly good.

As to his mom, Li Xuemei, other than occasionally heading out to the sea with Jiang Jianguo, she spent the majority of time homemaking and gardening. Ayesha visited her sometimes to learn the secrets to Han cuisine.

Regarding the beautiful foreign daughter-in-law, Li Xuemei absolutely adored her. Not only was she courteous, but she was also virtuous; it was hard to find someone as good as she was. Especially with Ayesha's earnestness when she asked what Jiang Chen liked to eat, Li Xuemei was even more delighted as she kept telling her husband how lucky Jiang Chen was.

Although they weren't married yet, the two elders all treated her like she was part of the family.

The first phone call lasted for an entire hour before his dad hung up in fear an exorbitantly high phone bill.

The second phone call was rather short since Ayesha never spoke too much. But from her concise words, Jiang Chen still felt her deep affection as well as longing from hundreds of miles away.

”… Remember to take care of yourself, I'll be back in a few days.”

”Mhmm,” Ayesha responded gently.

”That's all, I'm going to hang up.”

”Wait,” Ayesha abruptly said.

”Mhmm? Is there something else?” Jiang Chen said in surprise.

”Did you figure out Xia Shiyu yet?”

Jiang Chen almost choked on his own spit when he heard these words from the other side of the phone.

”Ahem? What 'figure her out'? Where did you learn this from?”
