After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?-Chapter 190 Just Pretending

This time visiting Jiang Zhixun, Chen Shaojie and Shi Yu brought quite a lot of things.

Mostly specialties from the Northwest.

Dates, walnuts, beef jerky, as well as local tea and wine.

Each in a large bag, some of which were given by Lin Zhidong and Cheng Jingliang.

Chen Shaojie said, "The wine is for the old man and Uncle Jiang, a little drink during holidays can bring joy!"

The table was full of items, all good stuff.

Madam Jiang: "You shouldn’t have spent so much."

Shi Yu: "These things aren’t rare where we are, what cost are you worried about?"

Compared to a few years ago, trade is now much more convenient. Shi Yu even partnered with her sister-in-law in business, made some money, and genuinely doesn’t feel the expense.

"If we hadn’t left so suddenly, without giving you time to prepare, others would have wanted to send Captain Jiang some local specialties. Sister-in-law Wang often mentions him and Qingqing."

Jiang Zhixun promptly explained to Shen Qingqing, "That’s my leader’s sister-in-law in the Northwest. When you had your accident, it was Sister-in-law Wang who took care of you while I was at work."

Shen Qingqing acknowledged with an "Mm".

She smiled, "If we ever have the chance to go to the Northwest, I must visit Sister-in-law Wang."

Shi Yu, without a second thought, said, "Captain Jiang is doing so well now. When winter break comes, you should come to the Northwest with me, and then return to Beijing when it’s over."

Being by herself, Shen Qingqing was free to come and go and seriously considered Shi Yu’s proposal.

Jiang Zhixun reminded, "We should celebrate the New Year at home."

Shen Qingqing ignored him.

She told Shi Yu, "I’ll see how the school arranges things by the end of the semester. If there’s no other task, I’ll come to find you."

Shi Yu snorted, "You agreed right away last time."

She shot a sidelong glance at Jiang Zhixun.

Hope she’s not influenced by this guy!

Shen Qingqing laughed, "I didn’t think much at the time."

Shi Yu sighed, "You have a proper job now, can’t just leave as you did before, I understand."

Shen Qingqing replied smoothly, "If there’s nothing, I’ll definitely come to find you."

"Really?"

"If I’m lying, I’m a little dog."

The little creature Shen Qingqing was holding timely barked twice, amusing everyone to laughter.

Shen Qingqing couldn’t remember the last time she was this happy.

After the meal, she and Shi Yu were reluctant to part.

Shi Yu’s eyes twinkled, "Why don’t you come with us to the hotel, and let Chen Shaojie take care of the child while we share a room."

Shen Qingqing said, "Then you might as well come stay at my dormitory, it’d save a room fee."

She was just saying it casually, not expecting Shi Yu to actually be tempted.

"I’ve never been to Beijing University..."

Before she could finish, Chen Shaojie reminded, "It’s getting dark, are you planning a night tour of Beijing University?"

As someone who seemed to be abandoned, he suddenly had some understanding why Jiang Zhixun got jealous.

He didn’t want to stay alone!

No wait, there’s a son too...

Shi Yu carelessly said, "If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have thought of it. Actually, it sounds quite fun."

Chen Shaojie reminded, "Ladies should be careful when going out at night."

Shi Yu: "We’ll just be in the school; what could happen?"

"Better safe than sorry."

Shi Yu glared at him, "Qingqing and I haven’t seen each other for years, we finally get to chat privately, don’t ruin it."

Chen Shaojie dared not refute further, holding his son, he looked a bit pathetic.

Shen Qingqing smirked, "There’s a guesthouse near the school, the accommodation is quite nice."

Madam Jiang chimed in, "Why stay at a guesthouse, just stay at home, there are rooms available."

She was just hesitating whether to let them stay overnight.

It’s not about inconvenience.

Just thinking young couples might not want to stay at someone else’s house.

The couple isn’t short of money, surely they want to stay comfortably and freely.

Now that Shi Yu wants to room with Qingqing, might as well let everyone stay at home.

"Miss Shi, you and Qingqing sleep upstairs, Little Chen will stay downstairs with the child, convenient!"

Shi Yu wanted to room with Shen Qingqing, to chat about girl things.

But she didn’t want to stay at the Jiang Family.

She just felt awkward, uneasy!

Hadn’t figured out how to refuse, then heard Shen Qingqing say, "Need to prepare lessons for tomorrow’s outing."

She’s busy with work now, each time using this reason leaves Madam Jiang unsure how to keep them.

Shi Yu asked Chen Shaojie, "How about you stay with the child, disturb Auntie for a night?"

Chen Shaojie wasn’t particular.

With his wife not sleeping with him, he could stay anywhere.

"I’ll take you to the school first."

Shi Yu looked at Shen Qingqing, silently seeking her opinion.

Shen Qingqing teased, "If I disagree, that would be really clueless."

Chen Shaojie wanted to escort Shi Yu, out of concern.

It’s understandable.

Chen Shaojie shoved the child into Jiang Zhixun’s arms, "Help me look after him for a while."

Jiang Zhixun took the child silently, then returned him to Chen Shaojie’s arms.

"What do you mean?" Chen Shaojie clicked his tongue, "Are we really brothers, you won’t even help with this small favor?"

Jiang Zhixun: "I’ll go with you, to show you the way."

His lips moved slightly, the words as irritating as always, "So you won’t get lost and not find your way back."

Chen Shaojie’s mouth twitched.

Does he seem that stupid?

This guy clearly can’t bear to be away from Miss Shen, still pretending!

Young people’s matters, Madam Jiang couldn’t interfere any further.

She reminded Shen Qingqing, "Zhixun’s eyes haven’t fully healed, keep an eye on him."

Shen Qingqing felt frustrated.

She wasn’t a babysitter, specifically responsible for "taking care of a child"!

Couldn’t curse in front of the elder, could only watch as Jiang Zhixun got in the car.

And tossed the car keys to Chen Shaojie.

Shi Yu was perceptive, giving the backseat to Shen Qingqing.

The car drove out of the courtyard.

Jiang Zhixun leaned lazily against the seat, relaxed in posture, eyes closed for a moment of rest.

Shen Qingqing couldn’t stand seeing him like that.

"Wake up."

"Hmm?" The man opened his eyes, puzzled, looking at Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing raised her chin, "Show the way."

Jiang Zhixun: "..."

Chen Shaojie suppressed his laughter, observing his buddy’s reaction through the rearview mirror.

Thinking, this is a case of shooting himself in the foot.

For not telling the truth.

He obviously just wanted to personally escort Miss Shen!

Jiang Zhixun frowned, "Eyes feel uncomfortable."

This was his trump card.

Shen Qingqing indeed changed her attitude, asked suspiciously, "Is it serious, should we turn back to the hospital?"

"Not serious, just need to squint for a while."

Jiang Zhixun slumped down, two strong long legs stretched out, head tipped, resting on Shen Qingqing’s shoulder.

The couple in the front were dumbfounded.

This can actually work!

This guy is indeed shameless...

Shen Qingqing felt the same, trying to push Jiang Zhixun’s head away, "Don’t pretend."

As she moved, the fragrant scent became stronger.

The hand she used to push was also soft and fragrant, the skin she touched seemed to have current passing through.

Jiang Zhixun coveted this warmth, determined to keep up the shameless pretense.

"Feeling dizzy too."

Shen Qingqing: "Pretending!"

The man chuckled, "Yeah, just pretending."
