Chapter 156: What does liking feel like?
't want to cause her trouble, "Auntie, I...""I know what you're thinking. Words are spoken by others, and nobody can control that. Don't overthink it," Zhao Yu smiled, pulling her along. "Come on."向晚...Ren Xiaoya struggled for a while before wriggling out of Zhong Yuxuan's arms.
She stole several glances at He Hanchuan, then leaned into Zhong Yuxuan's ear and whispered, "Master, I want to stay with Xiang Wan alone for a while. Can you find a way to take the iceberg away"
At first, Zhong Yu Xuan pretended not to hear. Later, he couldn't stand her persistence and said to He Hanchuan, “There’s something I want to talk to you about. Let’s go to a coffee shop.”
"I don't have much to talk to you about." He gave him a sharp look, refusing cleanly.
“.....” Zhong Yuxuan pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled, “At least in front of my apprentice, give me some face!”
Ge Hanchuan raised an eyebrow slightly, looked at him, then at Ren Xiaoya, and finally his gaze fell on Xiang Wan. He paused for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly.
He stood up and said, "Let's go."
"How come you're being so agreeable this time" Zhong Yu Xuan was a little surprised by his sudden agreement.
He was originally walking outwards, but upon hearing this, he stopped and turned to look at Zhong Yuxuan, "Why don't you beg me for a while longer"
"My fault, my fault!" Zhong Yuxuan hurriedly apologized. "You are magnanimous, please don't hold it against me, let's go now!"
He Hanchuan let out a light hum and glanced back at Xiang Wan. His eyes flickered, then he withdrew his gaze and left with Zhong Yuxuan.
"Whew—" Ren Xiaoya hurried over to close the door and took a deep breath, patting her chest and saying, "Luckily my boss isn't an iceberg, otherwise I would have lived several decades less!"
向晚 looked up at her, pulled at the corner of her lips, but didn't speak.
She didn't respond, but Xiaoya could continue effortlessly, "向晚, why is your face so pale Are you feeling unwell again Should I call a doctor"
"I'm fine." Xiangwan rubbed her temples and asked, "Miss Ren, what brings you here"
"Don't always call me 'Miss Ren', it's too formal. Just call me Xiaoya!" Ren Xiaoya said, wrinkling her face.
Moona pursed her lips, "…"
They didn't seem too familiar with each other.
"I heard you were hospitalized, I was worried about you, so I came!" Ren Xiaoya blinked her eyes and took out a bunch of grapes from the fruit basket. She didn't wash them, just wiped them with her hands a couple of times before stuffing them into her mouth.
Toward Wan stared at it, wanting to say, 'Why don't you wash it again There might be pesticide residue on the noodles,' but in the end, she just opened her mouth and said nothing.
"You've been staring at me, haven't you Want to eat some" Ren Xiaoya spat out a few grape skins and pushed the rest of the grapes toward Xiang Wan. "Here you go!"
向晚, "No need, thank you."
"You're welcome, this was for you anyway!" Ren Xiao Ya enthusiastically shoved the remaining half string of grapes into Xiang Wan's hand, "Eat it, it's delicious!"
In the expectant gaze of A-Wa, she slowly picked a grape and brought it to her lips, but she couldn't get past that hurdle in her heart. "... I suddenly remembered, the doctor told me not to eat cold things."
"Then you're really unlucky!" Ren Xiaoya took the grapes back, popped one into her mouth, and closed her eyes happily. "They're super sweet!"
While向晚 wasn't in a good mood, seeing Rén Xiǎoyǎ's carefree and joyful demeanor, and her genuine smile, dispelled some of the gloom that had been weighing on her heart.
"Oh, by the way!" Ren Xiao Ya spat out the grape skins and seeds into the trash can, excitedly leaned towards Xiang Wan, and whispered gossipy, "Do you know Old Man Lin The famous calligraphy master!"
Towards Evening nodded, feeling that she was probably going to be subjected to another retelling of the legendary tales of Old Master Lin and Lin Tiantian.
"Wow, he's getting married to a woman in her twenties!!!" Ren Xiaoya was so excited her face turned red.
Towards Evening had known about the old man and Lin Tiantian's relationship for a while, but hearing that they were going to get married still surprised her.
Even if the old man was senile, would the Jiang family and the Lin family agree
Ren Xiaoya's next words solved her confusion. "Let me tell you, this old man is amazing too. His grandson and son both disagreed with him marrying Lin Tianting. You guess how he did it"
"What did he do" Xiang Wan asked cooperatively.
Ren Xiaoya let out a tsk, tossing the grapevine in her hand into the trash before pulling out a tissue to wipe her hands. "He actually used suicide to force those juniors of his! Such love is truly heartbreaking!"
Towards the evening, thinking of how Old Man Lin had once attempted suicide for love, her expression turned a little strange.
Just thinking about Jiang Qingran and Jiang Qifeng being embarrassed by Old Master Lin's affairs, facing public scorn and ridicule, she let out a chuckle, feeling light and refreshed.
Could this be karma coming back to bite the Jiang family
"Why are you laughing" Ren Xiaoya asked curiously. She didn't seem to have told a joke!
"Towards the Evening smiled, her complexion much better. “Met a good thing.”
"That's certainly something to be happy about." Ren Xiaoya nodded in agreement, suddenly grinned slyly twice, and asked towards the evening, "A seventy-something old man marrying a twenty-year-old woman must be very interesting. Would you like to go"
At the end, she still raised her eyebrows slightly with a hint of teasing.
"Can you let me in" Xiangwan looked at her and asked.
Ren Xiaoya raised her chin and snorted, "Small case!!"
"Sounds good." Xiangwan curled her lip into a smile, amusement dancing in her eyes. "I'd love to join the fun too."
By the way, take a good look at the Jiang family's faces that day. Maybe she should bring a camera and record their discomfort so she can watch it back a few times every day.

Cafe.
The aroma of coffee fills the air, coupled with gentle music, creating a sense of peace and serenity.
He Hanchuan and Zhong Yuxuan have been at the coffee shop for a while, but it's always the latter who is speaking, the former occasionally agreeing with a word.
"Something on your mind" Zhong Yuxuan put down his cup and pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, asking.
He lowered his head and stirred his coffee gently, but didn't drink it. Just as Zhong Yuxuan thought he wouldn't answer, he suddenly let out an "um."
"You actually have something on your mind!" Zhong Yuxuan pushed his cup away, placing both hands on the table, his glasses reflecting the light. "Tell me!"
He stopped stirring his coffee, the spoon clinking against the rim of the cup, producing a crisp sound.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, then after several attempts to speak, asked in an unnatural tone: "What do you think... what does it feel like to like someone"
Zhong Yuxuan stared straight at him, his eyes widening slightly, his mouth half-open, to the point of being utterly astonished by this question.
" ...When I didn't ask." He Hanchuan tapped the table faster, his face was normal, but his ears were a little red. After speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Come on, don't be shy, Kanagawa!" Zhong Yuxuan suppressed a smile and stood up to pull him, but he couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. "I just didn't expect you to ask me this…"
Under He Hanchuan's disapproving gaze, he swallowed the "funny" that had reached his lips, replacing it with, "Such a philosophical question!"

(b/24/24658/ )ut, I'll just leave." Xiang Jianguo's face was still not very good-looking, but he had already recovered his usual elegant manner. "It's about that piece of land in G city, I want to talk to you about...
