Outside, the cold wind continued to rage. Jiang Chengsi stood quietly at ease, leaning against the table, towel in hand to dry his hair, watching her. His dark eyes seed to hold traces of amusent, like ripples of water...
It made her heart feel warm.
Why was he staring at her like that?
She coughed lightly and turned her head to look elsewhere, pretending to examine the room, but she could still feel Jiang Chengsi’s gaze on her from the corner of her eye.
Doesn’t he know how to be embarrassed?
"You... you stop looking at ."
"I like you, I enjoy looking at you, you don’t like looking at you?"
"..."
What kind of nonsense is he saying, she had no idea how to respond.
"Then should we do sothing?" Jiang Chengsi, who had never been alone with a girl, didn’t know what else to do, so he secretly sent a ssage to Qi Zeyan:
[What do you and Xiaoruan do together every day? What are you up to?]
Quickly, a response ca:
[What’s it to you, are you sick or sothing? Why are you prying into our private matters?]
He finally got a chance to hit a ho run on Valentine’s Day, and this guy ruined it. He hadn’t gotten even with him yet, and now he had the nerve to ask what he and Ruan ngxi usually did!
Forget it, this guy just snubbed , and now he needs ? Am I soone who cos and goes at anyone’s beck and call?
At that mont, Qi Zeyan was leaving the hotel with his family, heading to the Ruan Family. Feeling a bit nervous, he wanted soone to talk to, but after snapping at Jiang Chengsi, Jiang actually ignored him.
Which only made him more frustrated.
Jiang Chengsi wanted to snap back, but then grandma’s call ca through, and he didn’t get the chance to reply.
Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan had returned ho an hour ago, and naturally, grandma wanted to ask about the visit to the Si Family. The two of them just said everything went well and didn’t ntion too much.
They weren’t exactly sure how far this Miss Si and Jiang Chengsi had progressed, so they didn’t bring it up. They also didn’t ntion the fact that "Miss Xiao" was Si Qingxiao.
Grandma had only been away from her great-grandson for a few hours and already missed him, holding Jiang Xiaowai and playing for a while. Upon hearing that he gave Si Yushan a hard ti...
She was both angry and helpless.
"You little rascal, you even dared with Mr. Si, you’re so...," Grandma feigned a few taps on his little bottom, then glanced at the gift from the Si Family. Besides the red envelope, there was a small gold lock, notable for its exquisite design.
Jiang Xiaowai didn’t know what he’d done, only giggled at Grandma.
"The Si Family is really polite." Grandma held Jiang Xiaowai. At her age, constantly holding a child was becoming a bit strenuous, yet she refused to let go, "By the way, when you went over this ti, did you et the daughter of the Si Family? She’s called... Si Qingxiao, I think that’s the na."
Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan exchanged a glance, "We saw her."
"How’s the young lady?"
"She’s quite nice," Tang Wan smiled, "Why do you suddenly bring her up?"
Grandma pointed at the pile of gifts beside them, "At noon, the Xie Family ca by, bringing lots of stuff. They talked about Xie Duo’s marriage. Your grandpa on the Xie side is nearly worried to death. You’re about the sa age as your eldest brother, and after autumn, Jiangjiang and Taotao will both start elentary school, yet Xie Duo still hasn’t made any progress..."
"And in the conversation, the Si Family ca up."
"Chengsi joked before about Xie Duo going to the Si Family to beco their son-in-law. Old Xie said he’d rather see him beco a son-in-law than have him around the house, thinking he’s an eyesore."
"It seems their families have so business cooperation; the details I’m not sure of. It looks like, by any ans this year, the Xie Family aims to resolve Xie Duo’s affair, so I was asking you, what’s Si Missy’s temperant like?"
...
Jiang Chengsi was rely jesting at the ti, and Jiang Jinsang thought he might be an idiot. Little did they know the Xie Family was already this anxious about Xie Duo’s marriage.
"Miss Si is quite nice, but she might not necessarily suit Xie Duo."
"I’m just asking. We don’t have that kind of bond with the Si Family. Even if I wanted to play matchmaker, it’s not possible. That’s between their two families. I’m already too busy managing the children; there are still lots of ssy matters at ho..."
When Grandma ntioned "ssy matters at ho," she certainly referred to Jiang Chengsi, "Talking about that fourth one just makes so mad."
"When recruiting an assistant before, all of Beijing knew his eccentric nature. Anyone who dared allow their daughter to marry him must be nuts."
"This kid doesn’t care a bit. Now just looking at him angers . On Lantern Festival, he didn’t co ho for dinner; he must have gone out to fool around with those riff-raff friends of his again."
