Chapter 37: Shen Qingxuan Was Her Old Man, So What?

When Shen Qingxuan walked up to the entrance, the imposing main gate slowly opened.

Appearing before his eyes was Jiang Yubing in a beige sailor uniform.

Shen Qingxuan’s gaze involuntarily focused on those long legs wrapped in silky stockings.

Following the lines upward, he noticed a slender waist that one hand could encircle.

She radiated the sweet vibe of youthful innocence.

This look differed greatly from her usual appearance.

It simply looked too girlish!

Jiang Yubing wore a faint smile and said softly, “You’re here.”

Shen Qingxuan responded with a light “Mm.”

Jiang Yubing suddenly changed the subject and asked with a hint of anticipation:

“So, what do you think? Does our wedding house look nice?”

“Quite pretty.”

Shen Qingxuan spoke before he thought.

The moment the words came out, he realized something was wrong.

He smacked himself inwardly in annoyance.

Shen Qingxuan hurried to fix it and said, “I meant that this wall is pretty.”

But his gaze betrayed him as his eyes still wandered over Jiang Yubing.

Jiang Yubing’s expression instantly turned a bit strange.

She subconsciously glanced around.

The outer walls of the house were painted warm yellow.

The interior décor did not feature pink as the main tone, so it matched nothing called “pink.”

Following Shen Qingxuan’s still lingering gaze, she immediately understood a bit.

A faint blush rose on her face.

She coughed lightly twice, “Ahem, ahem…”

Jiang Yubing’s lips twitched slightly as she said, “Come in.”

She then stepped forward with light footsteps.

Shen Qingxuan followed behind Jiang Yubing into the villa, and the luxurious interior décor amazed him again.

Overhead, the crystal chandelier cast gentle yet dazzling light like countless stars in the night sky.

Underfoot, the marble floor shone like a mirror and reflected their figures.

“Have you eaten?”

Jiang Yubing took out a pair of blue slippers, handed them to him, and asked softly.

“Not yet.”

Shen Qingxuan accepted the slippers and put them on.

He inadvertently noticed that Jiang Yubing wore a pair of red slippers.

The style was exactly the same as his.

For a split second, everything froze.

The saying “Red and blue always form a CP” flashed through his mind.

His heartbeat inexplicably sped up.

Shen Qingxuan silently wondered:

“What does Jiang Yubing mean by this?”

“Come see, what do you want to eat?”

Jiang Yubing walked to the sofa and sat down.

She held the phone in her hand.

She beckoned to Shen Qingxuan.

Shen Qingxuan heard her and sat down beside Jiang Yubing.

He deliberately kept some distance.

He was a hot-blooded young man.

A youthful and dazzlingly dressed Jiang Yubing sat right next to him.

He kept catching glimpses of those long, fair legs and felt utterly unable to stay calm.

He secretly wondered.

He never saw her dress like this at home.

“What on earth is going on today?”

Seeing that he stayed motionless for a long time, Jiang Yubing shifted a little closer to him.

She held the phone and spoke to herself:

“The steak from this place is very good, and the seafood pasta is delicious too.”

However.

He waited for quite a while.

Still, she heard no response from Shen Qingxuan.

“Is there something dirty on my mouth?”

Jiang Yubing looked in puzzlement at Shen Qingxuan, who stared blankly at her lips, and she could not help asking.

Shen Qingxuan then woke as if from a dream and shook his head repeatedly in panic.

Moments earlier, her close-range beauty completely overwhelmed him.

A moment earlier, temptation surged within him.

He actually felt an impulse to kiss Jiang Yubing’s lips.

Jiang Yubing felt that Shen Qingxuan’s reaction was a bit baffling, but she did not think further about it.

Perhaps because her sideways posture felt uncomfortable, she simply leaned lightly against Shen Qingxuan.

In that instant, a stretch of snowy white filled Shen Qingxuan’s vision.

His ears instantly burned red as if they were on fire.

“Y-you… pull your clothes up a bit.”

Shen Qingxuan stammered, his tone full of awkwardness.

When she heard this, Jiang Yubing realized her lapse.

She hurriedly straightened up and fumbled to tidy her clothes.

It had to be said that Jiang Yubing’s figure was voluptuous, and the slightest carelessness risked an accidental reveal.

Jiang Yubing’s cheeks burned red like a ripe apple; with a trace of shyness, she asked, “You didn’t see anything, right?”

“No, I just think this position isn’t good.”

Shen Qingxuan explained in a hurry, his gaze darting away, not daring to meet Jiang Yubing’s eyes.

“Oh, I was just asking casually. Why explain so much?”

Jiang Yubing pretended to stay calm.

“I didn’t explain at all.”

Shen Qingxuan kept being stubborn, trying to hide his embarrassment.

“Fine, then you didn’t explain.”

Jiang Yubing’s eyes curved, and a sly smile surfaced on her face.

Their small awkwardness quietly dissolved amid a few bickering words.

Yet the ambiguous air between them grew thicker.

It felt like an invisible net tightly entangling them.

Jiang Yubing shifted her attention back to ordering take-out.

She tapped lightly with her finger and spoke in a soft voice, “The desserts here are great too. Their tiramisu is sweet but not cloying, and it melts in your mouth, and this strawberry mousse looks especially cute.”

As she spoke, she lifted her eyes toward Shen Qingxuan as if waiting for his response.

Shen Qingxuan struggled to calm himself.

Yet his gaze still drifted to every move Jiang Yubing made.

He nodded slightly and answered in a gentle voice, “Sounds all good. You decide.”

While speaking, his eyes inadvertently swept over Jiang Yubing’s fair calves again.

His heart lurched, and he quickly shifted his gaze, pretending to look at his phone.

In reality, the content on the phone blurred into shapeless shadows before his eyes.

Shen Qingxuan could not stay here another moment and said to her, “I’ll go take a shower first.”

Jiang Yubing watched Shen Qingxuan’s fleeing back and chuckled softly.

When Shen Qingxuan said he did not see anything, Jiang Yubing did not believe it at all.

Otherwise, why would he remind her?

The reason she acted like that was merely to avoid awkwardness for the two of them.

Besides.

Setting these aside.

Shen Qingxuan was her idiot old man, so what if he looked?

He was her idiot old man, and she would spoil him herself.

……

After she placed the order, she let out a small breath.

Jiang Yubing got up and went to the kitchen to pour two glasses of juice.

When she returned, a faint smile hung at the corner of her mouth.

She handed the juice to Shen Qingxuan, who walked out of the bathroom.

Their fingertips accidentally touched.

An electric current instantly shot through Shen Qingxuan, and he almost failed to hold the glass steady.

“Be careful.”

Jiang Yubing reminded him softly, her tone filled with a hint of concern.

“It’s fine.”

Shen Qingxuan steadied the glass and replied.
