Chapter 387



387 don’t deliberately act intimate

“that niece of yours, yingluo.”

shi yan asked hesitantly as soon as she entered the coffee shop.

jiang che didn’t need to ask in detail to know what she wanted to ask. he said, ” the Jiang family doesn’t have many truly smart people, but they also don’t have any truly stupid people.

in other words, it was very unlikely that jiang shasha’s stupid behavior had been unintentional.

Shi Yan understood what he meant.

seeing that she didn’t speak and her brows seemed to be slightly furrowed, jiang che raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head, ” it’s fine. It’s just a small fight. It won’t cause any trouble. Don’t worry about it.

He smiled and nodded.

Shi Yan wasn’t blindly confident in Jiang che. She really believed that since he dared to say so, it meant that he knew what he was doing.

Naturally, she didn’t need to worry about it.

Xie Heng, who was walking in front, happened to turn around and see the interaction between the two. His eyes paused for a moment, then he turned around and continued to follow the waiter.

he went upstairs and sat by the window.

Xie Heng didn’t sit down immediately. Instead, he stood to the side and said to the two,”Please take a seat,”

“Thank you clan head, please.” Shi Yan didn’t say anything. This was what Jiang che had said.

he let shi yan sit on the inner side, jiang che sat beside her, and xie heng sat opposite her.

“What would you two like to drink?” Xie Heng handed the menu over.

it was jiang xi.

shi yan had no intention of ordering anything. jiang che ordered two glasses. before ordering, he did not ask shi yan what she wanted to drink. it seemed like he knew shi yan’s taste very well. and from shi yan’s behavior, it was not difficult to see that the two usually got along like this.

Xie Heng lightly retracted his gaze from the two.

he took another menu from the waiter and randomly ordered a dish that he often drank.

her gaze swept past shi yan before looking at jiang che.”i’ve only recently found out that fifth lord jiang also has a lot of business in qingcheng. i’m glad that i didn’t have much interaction with qingcheng in the past and didn’t have any conflicts with him.”

“it’s just a small business, please don’t laugh at me, patriarch xie.”

there was no doubt that the city of qing was very chaotic, but it was also a very prosperous city. as one of the seven major forces in the city of qing, it wasn’t as simple as a small business.

“Fifth Lord Jiang is too modest.”

“i’ve had some conflicts with yuan shi recently. i’ve been investigating yuan shi these past few days and found out quite a bit of information. i’ve heard that su chen, the miracle doctor su, is trapped in the original state. i wonder if miss shi yan has heard of this?”

As one of the parties involved in the engagement, Xie Heng knew the truth about Shi Yan’s departure. He naturally knew that the person Shi Yan had contacted the most over the years was su chen.

Su chen being detained by Yuan Shi was something he had found out when he was investigating Yuan Shi.

In fact, when he had met Shi Yan and Jiang che at the night market, he had roughly guessed why the two of them had appeared in Qing city.

However, he only had a rough guess and wasn’t completely sure. Since he knew about this news, there was no harm in telling them.

If they didn’t know about it beforehand, he could be considered to have helped. if they had known about this beforehand, he would not have lost anything by mentioning it.

Shi Yan stirred her coffee and nodded with a faint smile, her posture gentle.”thank you for your concern, clan head. he has already left the original state.”

“that’s good.”

after that, shi yan didn’t say anything else. jiang che and xie heng were chatting, mostly about business matters. shi yan didn’t care and didn’t listen carefully.

Seeing that Jiang che didn’t move the coffee in front of him, she pushed her cup in front of him, took his cup, added sugar, and stirred it carefully.

She did it naturally, and Jiang che accepted it naturally.

he smiled at her and took a sip.

Xie Heng saw this scene.

if he remembered correctly, when shi yan stirred jiang che’s cup of coffee, he had used a spoon to test the taste.

These two people were clearly not deliberate, but they were intimate in every way.

Jiang che had agreed to Xie Heng’s invitation to have coffee with him. He said that he wanted Xie Heng to see how good their relationship was and completely give up. But in reality, Jiang che had no intention of doing anything deliberately.

because he knew very well that as long as he and shi yan were together, they didn’t need to do anything deliberately, and it was enough to make others envious.

the three of them didn’t sit in the cafe for long.

after finishing his cup of coffee, xie heng said he had something to do and left.

after xie heng left, shi yan and jiang che also left.

They went back to the place they stayed last night, which was the base camp of Tianwang.

shi yan did not wander around and went straight to her room after returning. jiang che probably had something to deal with and did not go back with her.

Shi Yan came out of the shower. Before she could dry her hair, her cell phone rang. She had no choice but to dry her hair with a handkerchief as she walked to the sofa in the room and picked up her phone.

It was an unknown number.

but shi yan knew it.

This was Shi boyu’s number, which had never been changed in all these years.

She paused in the middle of drying her hair and answered the call.

“third brother,”

“yanyan, have you eaten?” the other party’s tone was normal and familiar, like a simple greeting from an old acquaintance.

“Yingluo ate it.”

It was almost 10:30 when they returned to the manor. She should have taken more than half an hour to shower. It was already past 11:00, so it was impossible that she had not eaten.

“what’s the matter, third brother, calling me at this hour?”

On the other side of the phone, Shi boyu was standing on the balcony, looking at the dark night sky outside.

Upon hearing Shi Yan’s slightly distant words, her face tensed up slightly.

” mom asked me to ask you if you’re coming back to haicheng tomorrow. ” he said.

Shi Yan could tell that this was just an excuse he had made up.

If her mother wanted to ask her if she was going back to Haicheng tomorrow, she would have called her herself instead of asking him to ask on her behalf.

I should. I have classes the day after tomorrow.

“Yes.”

After a moment of silence, Shi boyu asked again,”where?” Mist?”

“no, tianwang,”

As expected.

shi boyu took off his glasses, his lips pursed tightly, looking a little annoyed.

He knew it as soon as Shi Yan arrived in Haicheng. he had also been the first to know what had happened to shi yan in sea city.

naturally, this included shi yan moving into the jiang residence, meeting jiang che at the jiang residence and getting together with him, as well as the fact that the two of them had bought a villa with a small courtyard and an apartment near haicheng university not long after they got together.

The villa’s small courtyard was being renovated. The two of them had been living in that apartment recently.

however, the impact of hearing this news from someone else was completely different from hearing it from shi yan personally.

as an older brother, shi boyu knew very well that jiang che was the man shi yan had set her mind on. this day would come sooner or later, but it still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

“Yanyan, you and Jiang che flirt.”

His voice stopped.

How could Shi Yan not understand what he was trying to say?

He didn’t say much. He only said, ” third brother, Jiang che and I are a couple. We will be husband and wife for the rest of our lives.

shi boyu was silent.

“I know,” he said after a while.

Shi boyu knew there was no need to say things like ” you’re still young, so take care of yourself and don’t give away everything ” because he knew that his sister was very intelligent and transparent. She knew all these in her heart, so there was no need for him to say more.

“It’s late, rest early.”

“third brother too, rest early.”

he hung up the phone and held it in his hand. he stood in place with his eyes slightly lowered.

In less than half a minute, a pair of arms reached out and wrapped around her from behind. A familiar voice entered her ears.”miss shi, why are you in a daze?”
