After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?-Chapter 201 Encounter
Chapter 201: Chapter 201 Encounter
Shen Qingqing looked puzzled, "Test?"
She’s twenty-eight this year, but acts no different from a young girl.
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but Jiang Zhixun swallowed them back.
Suddenly he felt that having such thoughts was being a rogue.
His ears started to burn.
He stammered, "Stop scratching, it tickles."
Shen Qingqing let go of his hand, "If it tickles, go take a bath."
Jiang Zhixun: "..."
He stared intently into Shen Qingqing’s eyes, trying to see if she was pretending not to understand.
But her eyes were clear and pure... she really wasn’t thinking off-track.
Jiang Zhixun was a bit frustrated, if she stays like this, how can they take the next step?
He rubbed his fingers, looking serious, which was a habit when he was deep in thought.
Shen Qingqing looked wary, "What bad idea are you plotting again?"
"What bad intentions could I have?"
Shen Qingqing chuckled twice, "Full of bad ideas!"
The man couldn’t help but laugh, bringing her hand to his lips for a kiss.
Even in a public place, he dared to make such a move, so Shen Qingqing quickly scanned their surroundings.
Fortunately, the pedestrians were in a hurry, no one noticed them.
Shen Qingqing warned Jiang Zhixun, "Don’t do this kind of thing outside again."
The man retorted, "Can we do it at home?"
Shen Qingqing tried to pinch his waist, but all she felt was his firm muscles, making it hard to pinch.
She snapped, "I never knew before that you like to be such a rogue!"
Not just Shen Qingqing, Jiang Zhixun himself didn’t know that one day he would be like this.
Recalling his past self, Jiang Zhixun came to a conclusion.
He was pretending!
No wonder he lost his girl!
Jiang Zhixun: "Maybe I learned on my own."
The two were walking back to school when Shi Yu and Chen Shaojie caught them red-handed.
Shi Yu was excited, "I just saw you holding hands, you can’t deny it this time, don’t think you can fool me!"
She nudged Chen Shaojie on the shoulder, "You saw it too, didn’t you?"
Chen Shaojie nodded.
Indeed, he saw it.
Not only did he see them holding hands, but he also saw Old Jiang kiss Miss Shen’s hand.
"Old Jiang, when you move, it’s astonishing!"
Even though he has a good relationship with his wife, they don’t kiss and hug outside.
Jiang Zhixun was incredible, more proactive than any of them.
Thinking back, when Miss Shen went to the Northwest, Old Jiang still had a cold demeanor.
Turns out it was all an act!
Now look at him, like a peacock showing off, almost writing his intentions to woo Miss Shen on his face!
Chen Shaojie clicked his tongue.
Jiang Zhixun’s gaze turned dangerous, "What do you mean?"
Chen Shaojie: "I was complimenting you!"
Shi Yu gave a thumbs-up, "Indeed, ginger gets spicier with age."
Among the five present, Jiang Zhixun was the oldest.
Every time this came up, he felt a bit stifled.
He pressed a fist to his lips and coughed, "Qingqing and I are dating, a normal boyfriend-girlfriend relationship."
Shen Qingqing also adjusted her mood, telling Shi Yu, "We hadn’t confirmed it before, so I didn’t tell you."
Shi Yu hummed, "I think you were always ready to break up, which is why you didn’t let anyone know."
This guess hit right on the mark of Shen Qingqing’s thoughts.
Even though she was dating Jiang Zhixun, she had no confidence in the relationship.
She didn’t know if she could manage it well.
Nor did she know if it would end again without a sound.
Everything was uncertain.
Shen Qingqing was confident in other areas and excelled at her work, but in matters of romantic relationships, she had no confidence at all.
She was even a bit pessimistic.
Even though Jiang Zhixun was now clinging to her, Shen Qingqing still felt insecure.
She didn’t want to get hurt again, so she prepared for the worst in advance.
Just like Shi Yu said, she was ready to break up at any time.
Jiang Zhixun’s expression changed.
He wasn’t stupid; he could see that Qingqing didn’t have confidence in the relationship.
Even... she was holding a playful attitude, ready to withdraw anytime.
Breaking up or staying together, she could accept both.
Jiang Zhixun felt a burning ache in his heart, but he also knew this was a result of Shen Qingqing’s emotional trauma.
He had destroyed Qingqing’s yearning for love.
Made her afraid to love a man wholeheartedly again.
All of this was his fault.
He had no position, nor did he have the right to accuse her of anything.
He hooked his finger around Shen Qingqing’s, pulling her hand little by little until it was wrapped in his large palm.
Shen Qingqing glared at him, he was indeed getting bolder.
She didn’t struggle.
Pulling a tug-of-war in front of others was quite awkward, so being open and straightforward was better.
Jiang Zhixun smirked, changing to a normal hand-holding position.
As if everything was normal, he told Shi Yu and Chen Shaojie, "Now you know, it’s not too late."
Even the elders at home were still in the dark.
He didn’t know if the result would be Qingqing agreeing to announce their relationship or being caught by the elders while dating...
Jiang Zhixun felt a bit uneasy inside.
He wanted to announce it, to let everyone know he and Qingqing were together.
So no one would pursue Qingqing.
And to prevent her from leaving suddenly.
But if Qingqing didn’t agree, he wouldn’t dare to act impulsively.
Jiang Zhixun being so proactive left Chen Shaojie speechless. Was this still the Jiang Zhixun he knew?
Thinking about how women can be shy, he didn’t tease them further.
Chen Shaojie, holding his son, mused, "When we come to Beijing next time, I wonder if you’ll have a little brother or sister."
The little guy thought for a moment, "I want a sister."
In Lin Zhidong’s and Cheng Jingliang’s families, they all had boys, and Chen Shaojie wanted a cute little niece too.
He winked at Jiang Zhixun, signaling him to quickly marry Shen Qingqing.
Then have a few kids and live a happy life together as a family.
Jiang Zhixun ignored him.
Satisfaction lies in contentment; he only dared to fantasize about marriage in his heart.
If he pushed too hard, Qingqing would be averse.
He didn’t dare to gamble.
As for kids... it was because Qingqing would be their mother that he thought about having children.
If Qingqing didn’t want kids, pushing for them would be putting the cart before the horse, wouldn’t it?
Shen Qingqing was the most important!
The two tacitly didn’t pick up on this topic, and Shen Qingqing asked Shi Yu, "Finished with your matters?"
Shi Yu nodded.
The Shi Family thought she was easy to bully, and hadn’t given up on the idea of profiting from her all these years.
So they should suffer the consequences of their own actions!
Shen Qingqing didn’t ask more, as that was Shi Yu’s privacy, and probing too much might put her in a difficult position.
They were good friends but needed boundaries too.
"When are you going back to the Northwest?"
"We’re returning tomorrow."
Chen Shaojie rarely had a long vacation and wanted to go back and spend time with the elders.
If they delayed any longer, his leave would be over.
"Then Jiang Zhixun and I will pick you up from the hotel and accompany you to the train station."
Shi Yu laughed, "No need to send us off, farewells are too sad, what if I cry? Next time when we come to Beijing, you and Mr. Jiang can just greet us at the train station."
Shen Qingqing teased, "I’ve never seen you cry before."
"Oh, Shen Qingqing, you actually want to see me cry!" Shi Yu pretended to pin her down and tickle her.
Shen Qingqing was startled.
She quickly hid behind Jiang Zhixun.
At that moment, she suddenly felt that Jiang Zhixun was quite useful.
His tall build was a very good shield!
