Chapter 185: The Peach Tree Outside the Window
Zuo Xinxin didn't expect Jiang Yucheng to come like this, but it was difficult for everyone to refuse, so she opened her mouth and ate it.
His cheeks were hot, and the speed of peeling shrimp slowed down.
In contrast, Jiang Yucheng's slow and orderly appearance is very pleasing to the eye, his hands are already very good-looking, and his every move has a natural sense of nobility.
"Xinxin, I also have it here, give it to Xiao Cheng Xiaoai."
At this time, Han Jiaxin spoke softly and handed the shrimp in front of her to the maid, who understood and sent it to Zuo Xinxin.
"How embarrassing is this......" Zuo Xinxin smiled embarrassedly.
Chen Yurong said with a smile: "Xiao Cheng Xiaoai likes to eat, so let them eat more." ”
"Yes, I've been losing weight recently, just give Xiao Cheng Xiao Ai, so as not to make me greedy." Han Jiaxin said.
In this way, Zuo Xinxin couldn't say anything, and raised her hand to wipe the oil stains from the corners of Xiao Ai's mouth: "Thank you Aunt Han yet." ”
Han Jiaxin is about the same age as her, and it is appropriate for Xiao Cheng Xiaoai to call out to her aunt.
Who knew that Xiao Ai didn't play according to the routine: "Mommy, Sister Han is so beautiful, she should be a sister." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately laughed and praised the little guy for his sweet mouth.
"Stupid Xiao Ai, in this way, what should Sister Han call Daddy?" Xiao Cheng was learning to peel shrimp from Zuo Xinxin, and when he heard Xiao Ai's words, he put the shrimp in his hand into Xiao Ai's mouth, but his little face still looked disgusted.
Xiao Ai was asked at this time, frowning and not thinking about it, everyone was amused by her cute appearance.
After this, the atmosphere at the dinner table was completely lively, seeing that Zuo Xinxin had fewer and fewer shrimp at hand, and the two little guys were still unsatisfied, Chen Yurong ordered the kitchen to make two more portions.
After a meal, Xiao Cheng Xiaoai was fed a lot of shrimp by Zuo Xinxin, and the two little guys ate so much that they couldn't walk
After eating, everyone moved to the backyard of the Jiang family's old house to chat.
There was a long table in the backyard, on which desserts and red wine were placed, and everyone sat down at will, chatting in twos and threes, and took out the gifts they brought one after another.
The people present were either rich or expensive, and the gifts they gave were all beautifully packaged, Chen Yurong thanked them one by one, and instructed people to put them away.
"Sister-in-law Yurong, this is what I specially brought back from a friend abroad, I guarantee that you will like it when you see it." Jiang Kenan's gift box is red, as bright as the sports car she parked outside the villa.
Chen Yurong accepted it and said with a smile: "But Nan has a heart, I have always liked the things you sent." ”
As she spoke, she raised her red wine glass and took a sip with Jiang Kenan.
"Yes, Ke Nan has a unique vision, and Jiaxin's gift has consulted her." Han Qizheng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
Jiang Kenan lowered his eyes, looking at the red wine in the cup, as if he hadn't heard his words.
Han Jiaxin on the side smiled and took out a palm-sized purple gift box from her bag: "Aunt knows that I don't know how to choose gifts, so I ask Aunt Ke Nan to help me make a decision." ”
Hearing this, Han Qizheng and Chen Yurong looked at each other and smiled.
Chen Yurong smiled: "
Jiaxin really has a heart. ”
"Yes, Jiaxin chose several things at the beginning, and she couldn't make up her mind to ask me, and finally picked the most satisfactory one."
Jiang Kenan hooked his lips and smiled, his eyes collided with Han Jiaxin, who smiled a little embarrassedly.
When Chen Yurong heard this, she glanced at Han Jiaxin with a smile, raised her glass, Han Jiaxin bowed slightly, took a sip of wine, and her movements were elegant and gentle.
Han Jiaxin and Jiang Kenan's gifts have been sent, and Jiang Yucheng and Zuo Xinxin are left.
Jiang Yucheng has never participated in this kind of occasion, but this time he sat with Zuo Xinxin and the child because they were there.
Seeing this, he touched Xiao Cheng's head: "Son, take out the birthday gift that Daddy and Mommy prepared for grandma." ”
The words fell, and everyone's eyes converged on the two little guys.
They all know that Jiang Yucheng and Zuo Xinxin's current relationship is quite special, but the child is innocent after all, no matter what, looking at Chen Yurong's pampered appearance, they know that these two cute little guys are from the Jiang family after all.
"Do you remember what you told Grandma?" Zuo Xinxin took out a blue and powder packaging box from her bag and handed them to Xiao Cheng Xiaoai, reminding her softly.
The two little guys came to Chen Yurong side by side with little short legs: "I wish grandma good health, good luck, and happy birthday!" ”
When the words fell, everyone applauded: "It's so cute, Mrs. Chen has picked up a treasure this time." ”
"Thank you Xiao Cheng, thank you Xiao Ai, grandma also hopes that the two of you will grow up safely and happily!" Chen Yurong still maintained an elegant smile, but her eyes were full of doting.
As she spoke, she took a cool snack from the table and put it in Xiao Cheng Xiaoai's hand.
"Thank you, grandma." Speak in unison.
Everyone praised Jiang Yucheng's children for being sensible, and Chen Yurong seemed to be happier than when she celebrated her birthday in previous years.
"Happy birthday, Mother." Jiang Yucheng raised his glass.
Zuo Xinxin followed and picked up the red wine glass in front of her: "I wish my aunt a happy birthday." ”
Chen Yurong smiled and drank all the red wine in the cup.
Zuo Xinxin glanced at Jiang Yucheng, and he drank it all, Zuo Xinxin had no choice but to purse her lips and drink the red wine in the cup.
Giving gifts, everyone continued to talk and laugh, Zuo Xinxin drank a few glasses of red wine with everyone, and began to feel that the red wine tasted good.
In fact, during the period when she was sick abroad, many nights were spent on alcohol, but after she quit alcohol, it became a cup of pour.
Watching Han Jiaxin talk and laugh with everyone, occasionally mentioning Jiang Yucheng, he only affectionately called it "Yucheng", and other than that, there was no other meaning.
Despite this, Zuo Xinxin still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but after thinking about it, why she was uncomfortable and what qualifications she had to be uncomfortable.
She's just a minor accident at this high-class birthday party.
Everyone continued to talk, and before they knew it, time passed, fatigue gradually hit, and many friends began to say goodbye one after another.
They are all specially here for Chen Yurong, and the next itinerary is also very full.
As a former strong woman, Chen
Yurong's friends are also well-known figures in the mall, and after sending everyone away, only Jiang Kenan, Han Jiaxin and her father were left on the table.
"Auntie, last time I heard Aunt Ke Nan say, you have received several authentic paintings here, can you take me to see them later?" Han Jiaxin didn't seem to be happy, as if she remembered something, and said with great interest.
Chen Yurong had a good amount of wine, but her face was only a little red until now, and after sending everyone away, she sat down to have a few drinks, and when she heard Han Jiaxin's proposal, she immediately said: "I'll take you to see it now, I bought it from a few antique dealers for a lot of money." ”
"But Nangu, Yucheng, Xinxin, do you want to be together?" Han Jiaxin helped Chen Yurong to stand up, turned her head to look at them, and sent out an invitation.
Jiang Kenan drank the remaining wine in the cup: "Let's go, I was in a hurry last time, I didn't look carefully." ”
"Xinxin is a little dizzy, I'll send her back to the room to rest, you guys go." Jiang Yucheng said lightly.
Han Jiaxin glanced at Zuo Xinxin with concern: "Okay, I'll ask the maid to deliver the sobering medicine later, it won't be too uncomfortable." ”
Jiang Yucheng bowed slightly, expressing his agreement.
When they walked away, Jiang Yucheng glanced at Zuo Xinxin, who was frowning, and said softly, "Let's go." ”
Zuo Xinxin nodded, but directly ignored Jiang Yucheng's hand and stood up on the table, she was a little dizzy, but not to the point of getting drunk.
"Mommy beware." Xiao Cheng grabbed Zuo Xinxin's hand very intimately, and Xiao Ai learned from his brother to grab the other hand, which made Jiang Yucheng a little at a loss, so he could only walk behind just in case.
At this time, Han Jiaxin went and returned, and handed the medicine bottle in her hand to Jiang Yucheng: "I have already arranged Xinxin's room, the one with the window facing the peach tree." ”
The demeanor and tone of her speech were very similar to that of a hostess who arranged guests, and she only mentioned the characteristics of the room later, but Zuo Xinxin knew from Jiang Yucheng's expression that he already knew which room it was.
I didn't expect Han Jiaxin to be so familiar with the old mansion.
"Thank you." Jiang Yucheng's tone slowed down a little, paused, and added, "She's rarely happy, I'm sorry for you." ”
Han Jiaxin knew that he was talking about Chen Yurong, so she nodded and said softly: "Aunt actually wants you to accompany her." ”
Jiang Yucheng pursed his lips, didn't answer her words, said lightly, "Thank you for the medicine", and took Zuo Xinxin upstairs.
Zuo Xinxin was silent all the way, until she entered the room, Jiang Yucheng took the water and handed the medicine to her, she just took it silently and swallowed it.
"Drink more water." Jiang Yucheng still remembered how drunk Zuo Xinxin was in the manor before, although he didn't drink much today, but looking at her uncomfortable appearance, he was also a little worried.
Zuo Xinxin drank the water silently, and then said softly: "You go and accompany Aunt Chen, I'll just sleep." ”
"I don't worry about you." Saying that, Jiang Yucheng bent down to take off her shoes for her.
Zuo Xinxin dodged abruptly and frowned: "I'm fine, I just want to sleep, you will disturb me if you stay here, take Xiao Cheng Xiaoai out for a walk, they have eaten too much and need to digest it." ”
Jiang Yucheng reluctantly straightened up and looked at the woman's palm
His face flushed, but his watery eyes were full of determination.
"Okay, if you're not feeling well, remember to call me."
"Hmm."
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yucheng took Xiao Cheng Xiaoai and walked out, and the two little guys waved their hands very sensibly: "Mommy, have a good rest." ”
Click.
The room was quiet.
Zuo Xinxin looked at the clean and tidy guest room, with a few pots of green plants on the windowsill and a few paintings hanging on the wall.
Thinking of what Han Jiaxin had just said, Zuo Xinxin got up and came to the window, and sure enough, he saw a few peach trees with withered leaves not far away.
A few months ago, the scenery here would have been beautiful.
Looking at it, Zuo Xinxin suddenly raised her hand to close the curtains, covering the scenery outside the window tightly.
Immediately afterwards, she went back to bed and lay down, but the picture of Han Jiaxin and Jiang Yucheng just talking in her mind kept coming to mind.
The few sentences just now can be said to be the most words that the two of them have said since they entered the old mansion. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with listening, but it falls into Zuo Xinxin's ears, but it contains another meaning.
The most important thing is that she can sense that Han Jiaxin has no malicious intent, but thinks about herself everywhere.
