Jiang Shanghan turned around and was about to leave when he saw Jiang Chuning hiding behind a stone pillar not far away with half of his face exposed. When he met his gaze, he immediately retracted and used the stone pillar to block himself.
He looked over and said calmly: "What are you doing standing there?"
A few seconds later, Jiang Chuning walked out slowly and whispered: "Uncle..."
Jiang Shanghan put one hand in his trouser pocket and said unhurriedly: "Do you have anything to do with me?"
Jiang Chuning stood in front of him, clasping his hands and nodding lightly: "I came here to apologize to you."
"What are you apologizing for?"
Jiang Chuning said: "What happened before was all my fault. I was too willful. Don't take what I said to heart. If...if you are really angry, just take it out on me."
Well, please don’t anger my great-grandfather and father."
After a while, Jiang Shanghan chuckled: "Do you think I would be angry because you didn't want to marry me before?"
Jiang Chuning puffed up his mouth and poked his finger: "It's not entirely because of this... I also said a lot of unpleasant things at that time."
Looking back now, she realized that it was indeed too much.
Moreover, it seemed as if Jiang Shanghan had some intention towards her.
He obviously doesn't want to marry her.
It's all an engagement that shouldn't exist.
Seeing Jiang Chuning's head lowering lower and lower, Jiang Shanghan said: "Okay, what do I have to argue with a child?
Now that the engagement is completely terminated, you do what you should do and don't always think about these messy things."
For some reason, Jiang Chuning felt that Jiang Shanghan's words were a little gentler than those he had said to her before.
It was as if she was really being comforted as a child.
She retorted in a low voice: "I am already twenty years old, and you always say that I am a child. Children are obviously old enough to get a marriage certificate."
Jiang Shanghan: "..."
He said: "It's time for you to go back."
Jiang Chuning said "Oh", turned around and took two steps, then turned back and looked at Jiang Shanghan with his beautiful eyes, faintly twinkling: "Then it's agreed, you won't be angry about what happened before, okay?
You can’t blame my great-grandfather and father! The one who lied... was the puppy."
Jiang Shanghan looked at her without saying a word, his expression not wavering at all.
Probably because I had never heard of such a threat before and found it outrageous, even a little funny.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Jiang Chuning became anxious. Did he really not have any plans for her?
She held her breath and hesitantly stretched out her hand in front of him: "Shall we... pull Gou?"
Jiang Shanghan's brows moved indistinctly, looking at her expectant and nervous eyes, his thin lips pursed slightly.
After a while, he finally reached out his hand and turned his head to the side to play such a boring trick with her.
A smile immediately appeared on Jiang Chuning's face, and he didn't care anymore. He hooked his finger and muttered: "Hang yourself with a hook. It won't change for a hundred years. You are just a puppy when you lie to others."
After completing this series of oaths, Jiang Chuning finally took back his hand with satisfaction: "Okay!"
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Jiang Shanghan's expressionless face, her smile stopped abruptly, and she shrank her neck in hindsight.
Jiang Shanghan put down his hand, met her eyes, and said slowly: "Jiang Chuning, anyone over ten years old will not behave in such a childish way."
Jiang Chuning: "..."
She stammered: "Anyway...I don't care anyway, you just promised me! You can't go back on it!"
When he said the next few words, Jiang Chuning had a vague feeling that he would regret it the next second, and ran away quickly.
While running, he looked back warily.
As expected, the lesson of not seeing the path underfoot was that it fell into a pile of leaves that the servants had cleaned but had not had time to deal with.
Instantly overwhelmed by a pile of leaves.
Jiang Shanghan stood there watching this scene, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
Fortunately, there were many leaves, so Jiang Chuning was not injured from the fall. He quickly got up and ran away at a faster speed.
…
In the evening, as soon as Ruan Xingwan and Pei Shanshan left the studio, they saw the man who had been waiting outside for a long time.
Pei Shanshan said: "Sorry, I'm a bit busy today. Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Zhong Wenbo smiled: "No, I just arrived a while ago."
After saying that, he looked at Ruan Xingwan, nodded slightly, and said hello.
During this period, since Zhong Wenbo and Pei Shanshan established their relationship, he would come to pick up Pei Shanshan from get off work every day. They would have dinner together and then send her back.
Doing things that couples seem to do.
Ruan Xingwan smiled: "Then I won't disturb you and leave first."
Pei Shanshan waved to her: "Then be careful on the road and let me know when you get home."
"Okay, you go."
Pei Shanshan and Zhong Wenbo turned and left.
Ruan Xingwan looked at their backs and exhaled.
The distance between these two people is enough for another person to stand.
It's obvious at first glance that they haven't made any progress.
Maybe Pei Shanshan is right, when you still have someone else in your heart, you will never be able to truly let go.
Ruan Xingwan shook his head, withdrew his gaze and walked towards home.
On the way back, she remembered what she had said last night about making soup for Zhou Cishen, so she stopped by the supermarket and bought a lot of vegetables.
After arriving home, Ruan Xingwan washed the ribs and put them on the stove to cook.
She went to put the things she bought back in the refrigerator one by one.
Yesterday, Zhou Cishen almost discovered the box containing medicine. She said it was seafood to avoid cheating. When she went to the supermarket today, she bought another box of seafood and put it in the refrigerator, which just blocked the medicine box.
After all this was done, the water on the stove was boiled.
Ruan Xingwan turned off the fire, poured out the blood from the ribs, and put them back on the stove.
She picked up her cell phone and called Zhou Cishen.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.
Just as Ruan Xingwan was about to speak, he thought of his previous lesson and confirmed again: "You're not in a meeting, are you?"
On the other end of the phone, the man laughed softly: "I just came out of the conference room."
Ruan Xingwan breathed a sigh of relief, that's good.
She added: "I made dinner, when will you be back?"
Zhou Cishen said: "There's still a while, don't wait for me, you eat first."
Ruan Xingwan glanced at the time, it was already half past eight.
She said: "Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Xingwan sat on the sofa and took out his draft book.
She is not hungry tonight, so she will eat later.
As soon as Ruan Xingwan picked up the pen, he heard a knock on the door from outside.
Not at her door.
But on this floor, she and Pei Shanshan lived, as well as the two houses that Zhou Cishen bought and left empty.
Who is knocking on the door?
