As Ruan Chen finished speaking, the attitudes of everyone at the dinner table became clear.
Ruan Xingwan's habit of being embarrassed came back again, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
But next to him, Zhou Cishen acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and acted as if nothing had happened the whole time, as if the person they were targeting was not him.
Looking at this scene, Ruan Xingwan couldn't help but reach out and scratch his eyebrows.
He knew clearly that no one would welcome him, so why did he insist on trying to make people uncomfortable?
It's so annoying.
Just when Zhou Cishen picked up the chopsticks, Ruan Xingwan suddenly took the bowl in front of him, poured half of the oil into the empty bowl next to him, and then said lightly: "Mr. Zhou, just give it a try, I really can't get used to it.
You can only..."
"Who says I can't get used to it?"
After finishing speaking, Zhou Cishen reached out to pick up the vegetables and ate them without hesitation.
Ruan Xingwan raised her eyebrows, and when she looked away, she found that everyone else was looking at her.
"..."
After noticing that she was looking over, everyone coughed and looked away. Some lowered their heads to eat their vegetables, while others picked up their water glasses to drink.
Ruan Xingwan pursed his lips slightly, but still did not explain.
Forget it, it would be wrong to say more. She just wants to finish the meal quickly and go back to her home.
After a short silence, I don't know who started the topic, finally breaking the awkward and suffocating atmosphere.
After dinner, Pei Shanshan took the initiative to take on the important task of washing the dishes. When Cheng Wei offered to help her, Pei Shanshan said: "It's just me and Daniel, you go..."
As she spoke, Pei Shanshan winked at him and motioned for him to accompany Ruan Xingwan so that Zhou Cishen wouldn't take advantage of him.
Cheng Weiyi was speechless for a moment, seeming to be hesitating whether he should go there or not.
Pei Shanshan whispered: "The more times this happens, the more you should take the initiative. How can you retreat at the critical moment? Go ahead, go ahead!"
As Pei Shanshan said this, she pushed him and then pulled Daniel, who was watching the excitement, into the kitchen.
Daniel tried to struggle: "I don't know how to wash..."
"You'll know how to do it if you just learn it. I'll teach you how to just eat and not do anything."
In the living room, Ruan Xingwan was clearing away the remaining things on the table. Just as Zhou Cishen was about to step forward, Ruan Chen took his arm and said, "Let's talk to me."
Zhou Cishen turned his head and said calmly: "What do you want to talk about?"
Soon, Zhou Cishen and Ruan Chen went to the balcony one after another.
Cheng Wei walked to Ruan Xingwan and whispered: "Xingwan."
Ruan Xingwan raised his head and smiled at him: "What's wrong?"
Cheng Wei was silent for a while, but he never came up with what he really wanted to ask. He just made an excuse: "Are you really... allergic to flowers?"
"No, he just said it nonsense."
"That's it."
Cheng Weigang was about to ask more questions when Xu Wan suddenly came over and smiled apologetically at him: "I'm sorry, I have something to do with Xingwan, which took up your time."
With that said, Xu Wan pulled Ruan Xingwan to the side.
For a moment, Cheng Wei was the only one left in the living room.
He turned his head and looked at the flowers beside him, slightly lost in thought.
After arriving in the bedroom, Xu Wan clasped his hands together and apologized all over his face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought Mr. Zhou here."
If she had known that the situation would be so embarrassing, she would not compromise no matter how much that bitch man threatened her.
Ruan Xingwan smiled: "I thought it was something. He has been like this recently. Even if you didn't bring him here, he would have other ways."
Even though she said so, Xu Wan still felt very sorry: "I really didn't know there were so many people here today, as well as your... suitor."
Ruan Xingwan's temples twitched: "Don't listen to Shanshan's nonsense..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you notice that the way he looked at you was obviously different? And Mr. Zhou, he was so jealous that the whole room was filled with jealousy. If there weren't so many people around, they would probably fight."
Ruan Xingwan pursed his lips and said nothing.
Xu Wan added: "Xingwan, let me just say one more thing. I'm not very clear about what happened between you and Mr. Zhou, but I have worked under Mr. Zhou for so many years, and I still know something about him.
Yes, except for his bad mouth, he is not bad at all."
"And although there are many scandals about him, none of them are true. I can really guarantee you this.
That's right...according to my observation, he is very attentive to you, cares about you, and cares about your feelings.
Why don't you... also consider giving him a chance?"
Ruan Xingwan shook his head gently: "There is no possibility for me and him."
Xu Wan took a breath and said with a smile: "Then just pretend I didn't say it and let's forget about it."
Ruan Xingwan smiled and replied: "Okay."
When they went out, Ruan Chen was the only one left in the living room.
Ruan Xingwan looked around and asked, "Where are they?"
"gone."
"Going together?"
Ruan Chen nodded: "Yes."
Xu Wan whispered: "Isn't it because we went down to have a fight?"
When Ruan Xingwan heard this, he ran out without any time to think about it.
Ruan Chen looked at her back and frowned, wanting to say something, but he didn't say anything.
At this time, a soft female voice sounded next to him: "What did you say to Zhou Cishen?"
Ruan Chen looked at her subconsciously, then looked away without any trace: "It's nothing."
Xu Wan didn't believe it: "There's nothing wrong with him and he can just leave like that?"
"I said he is not welcome here. It would be more dignified if he left by himself."
Xu Wan looked incredulous: "Did you really say that?"
As if sensing her adoring and admiring gaze, Ruan Xingwan felt a little embarrassed. He raised his hand and touched his neck: "That's about it."
That’s awesome too!
Xu Wan reached out and patted his shoulder, praising him without hesitation: "It's okay, brother. You are very brave, courageous and knowledgeable."
Ruan Chen: "..."
…
When Ruan Xingwan chased them downstairs, he looked around but couldn't find Cheng Wei or Zhou Cishen.
She let out a slow breath, as long as she didn't start fighting.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Ruan Xing shivered in the evening. Then he realized that he was in such a hurry to get down that he even forgot to put on his coat.
She rubbed her arms with both hands and was about to turn around when her shoulders suddenly felt heavy and a warm coat was placed on her body.
Ruan Xingwan turned around and looked at the man in front of her, slightly startled: "Didn't you leave?"
Zhou Ci stared at her with deep black eyes and asked instead, "What are you doing here?"
"I..." Ruan Xingwan thought quickly and then said, "I'm here to see Cheng Wei."
"To disappoint you, he has left."
"oh."
After a moment of silence, Ruan Xingwan finally said tentatively: "What did Xiaochen tell you?"
Zhou Cishen said: "What do you want him to say to me?"
