Shi Xinxin’s words made Xu Jiayi really want to punch her, to show her how capable he was.
But in the end, Xu Jiayi just gave Shi Xinxin a big eye-roll.
“Shi Xinxin, shall we go out now and see how popular I am?”
Shi Xinxin hurriedly pleaded, “Forget it. If we get photographed, it will be quite troublesome. I’m afraid of those keyboard warriors on the internet. They care about money and not lives. I wouldn’t dare. My little heart can’t take it.”
Hearing Shi Xinxin say this, Xu Jiayi burst into laughter.
However, even though the person in front of him was laughing heartily, Shi Xinxin always felt a very cold gaze on her back.
So, Shi Xinxin couldn’t help but look behind her. Indeed, a very sharp gaze appeared. Seeing Sheng Chenjin, who had just walked in, Shi Xinxin couldn't help but tremble.
At this moment, Sheng Chenjin entered with some people. Because he was tall and burly, he was quite distinctive among the others and was immediately recognized by Shi Xinxin. It seemed Sheng Chenjin was here to talk business.
“What’s wrong?” Sensing Shi Xinxin’s unease, Xu Jiayi looked at Shi Xinxin behind him in confusion.
He saw Shi Xinxin’s gaze fixed on the doorway, so Xu Jiayi looked towards the door.
Xu Jiayi sighed in his heart, “It really is a narrow road for enemies. How can this guy be everywhere? Shi Xinxin only shows this expression when she sees this guy.”
“Shi Xinxin, you’re really a coward to the bone,” Xu Jiayi whispered into Shi Xinxin’s ear. Shi Xinxin immediately withdrew her gaze from Sheng Chenjin.
And the action between Xu Jiayi and Shi Xinxin just now, seen from a distance, was very ambiguous.
Sheng Chenjin felt very uncomfortable seeing that ambiguous scene, so a mocking smile appeared on his lips, which was a deliberate attempt to hide his true feelings. After all, Sheng Chenjin considered himself a dignified person.
Thus, Sheng Chenjin walked towards them step by step, his gaze gradually becoming even colder from the initial coldness.
Although Sheng Chenjin’s gaze was locked onto Shi Xinxin when he first entered, it now shifted to Xu Jiayi.
“Mr. Xu, we meet again.” Sheng Chenjin approached them first to greet them, which was quite rare to see.
Shi Xinxin turned her face away, seeming to not want to talk to Sheng Chenjin at all, not even wanting to look at him.
Since the person had taken the initiative to greet them, how could Xu Jiayi pretend not to see him?
So, Xu Jiayi also smiled and greeted Sheng Chenjin, “Mr. Sheng is also here for dinner.”
“Yes, Mr. Xu is truly a ladies’ man. You have a new girlfriend so quickly. Congratulations,” Sheng Chenjin said with a hint of disdain in his tone. In fact, both Xu Jiayi and Shi Xinxin could feel this.
But at this moment, Shi Xinxin didn’t want to say a word to Sheng Chenjin. As long as Sheng Chenjin wasn’t deliberately digging at or mocking Xu Jiayi, Shi Xinxin could still tolerate it.
Xu Jiayi maintained his polite smile, “Yes, it’s finally the weekend, and we should have some fun.” As he spoke, Xu Jiayi reached out and pulled Shi Xinxin into his arms.
Seeing this scene, Sheng Chenjin said nothing, and a smile remained on his face.
“Then I congratulate you both and wish you a happy evening.” Sheng Chenjin clearly said this while looking at Shi Xinxin, and deliberately to make her hear it.
In fact, Sheng Chenjin knew Shi Xinxin’s temper well. If there were nothing between her and Xu Jiayi, she would absolutely not ignore these so-called "misunderstandings" from others. However, Sheng Chenjin didn’t expect that Shi Xinxin would not refute a single word of what he said, which made Sheng Chenjin even more furious.
Therefore, Sheng Chenjin no longer wanted to stay there and said coldly, “I’ll be leaving now. You two enjoy yourselves.”
With that, Sheng Chenjin walked back into the crowd he had entered with.
Shi Xinxin still didn’t say a word, just watched Sheng Chenjin’s back.
As for Xu Jiayi, he also didn’t expect Shi Xinxin to be so forbearing, not saying a single word.
“You’re quite stubborn. You ran into your old flame, yet you can endure everything.” Xu Jiayi couldn’t help but tease Shi Xinxin about this.
Shi Xinxin’s face was expressionless. Instead, she turned and walked away, “Let’s go, where is the room?”
Seeing Shi Xinxin like this, Xu Jiayi shook his head helplessly, “She’s really stubborn.”
Led by a waiter, Xu Jiayi brought Shi Xinxin to a room.
Shi Xinxin asked Xu Jiayi in confusion, “Why are we going to a room? What for?”
Seeing Shi Xinxin’s appearance, Xu Jiayi suddenly felt like teasing her. So Xu Jiayi deliberately lowered his voice and said in an ambiguous tone into Shi Xinxin’s ear, “You know, the usual things. Why else would we book a room?”
Hearing Xu Jiayi say this, Shi Xinxin appeared even more surprised, even trembling and moving away from Xu Jiayi.
Seeing Shi Xinxin’s timid appearance, Xu Jiayi laughed heartily without restraint, as if the result he wanted had been achieved, and he seemed very excited.
Shi Xinxin also felt that she had been tricked by Xu Jiayi, so she angrily patted Xu Jiayi’s back twice, “Okay, you! How dare you trick me.”
Xu Jiayi was still laughing heartily, “What else? You’re really silly, you know, Shi Xinxin.”
Shi Xinxin gave Xu Jiayi an eye-roll and decided not to pay him any more attention.
“How is it? After being so nervous, have you forgotten about your ex?”
Xu Jiayi’s sudden words startled Shi Xinxin. She hadn’t expected Xu Jiayi to say this. “I didn’t care just now.”
Although Shi Xinxin said this, Xu Jiayi could actually feel that she was just saying the opposite of what she meant.
“Alright, whatever you say is fine. You don’t actually feel that way in your heart.”
Shi Xinxin wanted to refute Xu Jiayi’s words, but at this moment, Shi Xinxin didn’t know how to refute them. After all, what Xu Jiayi said was true. She was still thinking about Sheng Chenjin in her heart, otherwise, why would she still be dwelling on Sheng Chenjin until now?
