refuse to be jealous

Chapter 23

"Did I wake you up, Ruan Ruan? If you're still sleepy, let's go sleep in the room." The tone was completely different from Jiang Guanlan's.

Faintly hearing the conversation between mother and son, Ruan Fu said sheepishly: "Aunt Xu, I'm sorry, I just fell asleep. But my neck is a little sore from sleeping. My feet are normal and I can walk on my own."

I was so tired these past few days that I accidentally fell asleep, which made Ruan Fu upset.

Jiang Guanlan licked his lips but said nothing.

Xu Meifang glared at him.

"Really, it's okay. You haven't been here for a week, and my aunt just misses you so much." Xu Meifang smiled at Ruan Fu and said, "Are your neck sore? Ask your aunt at home to give you a massage. It will be fine soon. But it’s been cold in Kyoto recently, is your mouth dry?”

"Let's go in, drink some water, and rinse your mouth."

"?"gargle?
Jiang Guanlan pressed his tongue against his back molars, suspecting that his mother's words were insinuating him.
-
When we got inside, Jiang Dong, Jiang Guanlan's father, was sitting on the sofa.

Ruan Fu nodded: "Uncle Jiang."

Jiangdong: "Well, hello."

After saying hello and receiving a response from the other party, Ruan Fu was pulled to sit down by Xu Meifang without saying anything else.

Ruan Fu had met Uncle Jiang several times before when she came to Jiang's house. She didn't have a deep impression. She only remembered that his attitude towards her was always polite and courteous, similar to today.

She always felt that Uncle Jiang's temperament was very similar to Jiang Guanlan's. They both liked to laugh, but there was also a sense of alienation.

Xu Meifang was still as enthusiastic as before. She pulled Ruan Fu and asked her aunt to massage her neck, and offered water and greetings.

"Are you tired from work lately? I see you have some dark circles under your eyes."

Ruan Fu touched his eyelids: "It's not bad."

Xu Meifang: "Don't stay up late."

Jiang Guanlan came in later and took off his shoes at the entrance, and then took off his suit jacket. Underneath was a vest and a white shirt, and the shape of his abdominal muscles could be faintly seen.

He walked in and called, "Dad."

Jiang Dong nodded and continued reading the newspaper.

After a pause, he looked at Jiang Guanlan again: "What's wrong with your mouth?"

There was a moment of silence in the politeness, and Xu Meifang glanced at him.

Jiang Guanlan raised his hand and touched it. Oh, it happened to be the place where he licked many times later.

The corner of his eye glanced at the black figure inadvertently, and the man said calmly: "I bit it accidentally."

Xu Meifang sighed in her heart, you are so beautiful. Fortunately, Ruan Fu didn't even raise her eyes. She pulled Ruan Fu over to talk about other things.

Jiang Guanlan stood there for a while, then passed by the living room and went to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water. Not long after, he came out with a glass and sat down on the sofa near his father.

I happened to be sitting across from Ruan Fu and his mother, so I could see him when I looked up.

The two were chatting happily, and the room was full of women's voices. On the contrary, they seemed relatively silent and reticent.

Suddenly, Jiang Dong asked: "How do you drink ice?"

The ice cubes in the glass clinked.

Jiang Guanlan took a sip, and his mouth still felt hot.

He looked across the way, but the woman still didn't look at him after getting out of the car.He gritted his teeth and replied to his father: "Jiangzao."

Jiang Dong glanced at him doubtfully, then followed his gaze to where he was looking, smiled and continued reading the newspaper.

The aunt came over and told the people in the living room that the meal was ready.

Xu Meifang finally let go of Ruan Fu's hand, and the latter stood up to help.

"Husband." Xu Meifang waved her hand to prevent her from doing anything. Instead, she said, "Come and help me serve the rice."

The man put down the newspaper, stood up silently, and followed.Jiang Guanlan took a look. In his eyes, his father was reluctant. At some point, Jiang Guanlan walked over to Ruan Fu.

He asked in a low voice, "Did my mother just ask you about us?"

definitely.

Xu Meifang thought they were talking.

Ruan Fu looked at him: "Yeah."

Jiang Guanlan smiled: "What did you say?" He handed over a strawberry-flavored candy, but Ruan Fu didn't take it.

Jiang Guanlan was stunned for a moment, then withdrew his hand, tore it open, and ate it himself. It was sweet and greasy. He frowned, and the taste spread in his mouth.

I happened to be walking to the restaurant soon.

"We said we had a quarrel recently. We were in the cold war." Ruan Fu looked at him again and said in a low voice, "So, don't talk to me."

"..." The sound of sugar hitting his teeth was obvious, but Jiang Guanlan felt that it was not as sweet as a woman's lips.

Gee, he was really stunned.

Again and again, again and again,
ask for contempt.

After dinner, Xu Meifang agreed to her original agreement. Knowing that Ruan Fu had many things to do, she immediately asked the driver to take Ruan Fu back to the research institute.

Jiang Guanlan happened to come down from upstairs.

"Are you leaving? I'll send..."

He had just eaten and went back home to change his clothes. His current outfit was very casual and sporty.

Xu Meifang said: "No need for you, I've already asked the driver to take it away. Ruan Ruan, please pay attention to safety on the road."

Ruan Fu hummed: "Auntie, please also pay attention to your health."

"Eat more vegetable."

Xu Meifang thought Ruan Fu cared about her health, so she smiled very happily: "Okay."

Jiang Guanlan paused, walked to the door, shook the key in his hand, and interrupted: "I'll send it off, Mom. You forgot, Uncle Li went to see Dad off."

Jiang Dong received a call after dinner. He heard that something happened at the company and asked him to go back.Xu Meifang didn't understand why it could be such a big deal, but she didn't stop it either.

Now that they are gone, Xu Meifang looks at Jiang Guanlan.

Their family has more than one driver.

But since her son wanted to save her, Xu Meifang also relaxed: "Yes, I forgot, let him give it to you."

"Just tell me if you bully him, and I'll beat him up for you."

Ruan Fu pursed his lips, not wanting to go through any trouble, so he said, "Okay."

Fortunately, the meal was finished, and she also had something to say to Jiang Guanlan.But before leaving, she stopped again and said she had a few more words to say and wanted to chat with Xu Meifang alone.

Jiang Guanlan nodded his chin, "I'll go to the car."
-
I don't know how many times I got into Jiang Guanlan's car today. Ruan Fu looked out the window and suddenly felt a little sad.

It's only been a week, time flies by so fast.

As we drove out onto the road, the streetlights on both sides cast dark shadows.Jiang Guanlan's car lights turned on, and he looked forward. Thinking of the last time they broke up, he curled his lips and said, "Does it feel familiar?"

Ruan Fu looked at him and said hum.

Jiang Guanlan: "...Are you going to keep having this attitude towards me? I'm not worthy of you saying two more words?"

Ruan Fu looked at him again. The man's tongue was touching something, and his cheek was slightly protruding. From this angle, it looked a bit bad.Ruan Fu propped up the window and said calmly: "Why do you want to embarrass yourself?"

"Knowing that I didn't reply on purpose." When Ruan Fu said this, he looked away and his words were very straightforward.

click-

The mints were all broken.

Jiang Guanlan glanced at Ruan Fu coldly. He had never been so embarrassed. After a few seconds, he laughed angrily and said, "You are quite righteous."

He remembered that just before he got in the car, Jiang Guanlan was smoking at the door and waiting for someone.

Not far away, Xu Meifang was still talking to Ruan Fu.After he finished speaking, the people arrived and he was about to get in the car when he saw a message from his mother.

Xu Meifang: [Ruan Ruan asked me if I was found to have high blood pressure. 】

The smoke trembled.

Jiang Guanlan: [Are you going back? 】

Xu Meifang: [No. 】

　Oh huo
