Chapter 638: Chapter 668: Seems Like Jiao Jiao’s Ex-Boyfriend
"My mom told me later that she was actually a bit reluctant at first. She’d heard my grandparents weren’t easy to get along with, and that there were several brothers in the family. But in the end, that meal my dad cooked for her won her over."
What’s that saying? The way to conquer a person is to first conquer their stomach.
Shen Yi, while keeping an eye on the pot, leaned in and gave her a little kiss. "So when did I conquer you, Jiao Jiao?"
Qin Jiao thought about it carefully, then shook her head. "I don’t really know, to be honest. Right after I was reborn, all I could think about was how to get away from you."
The main reason her life had been so terrible in her past life was that she’d gotten entangled with Shen Yi.
So staying away from him was the simplest and most permanent solution.
But a certain someone was just too shameless. He kept finding all sorts of excuses to get close to her at first, shamelessly sticking to her like super glue.
And he was so cunning about it that she had no way to refuse.
One thing led to another, and not only did they not grow apart, they actually got closer and closer. And now, look, there was even a baby in her belly.
Qin Jiao snorted. "Go check on the pot, you!"
"It’s almost ready."
Shen Yi happily went to dish out the noodles.
He had cooked a lot. When Qin Jiao said she couldn’t eat it all, Shen Yi got a bowl for himself and ate with her.
Qin Jiao was speechless. "Didn’t you just come back from having a big meal with those people?"
Shen Yi shook his head. "How could I have any appetite looking at that bunch of guys? It was all just for business. I didn’t eat much, and I didn’t drink. I just filled up on tea. Besides, what meal could ever be as delicious as one with my wife?"
"Oh? So sweet-tongued. Do you talk like that to other women when you’re out?"
"Were there any women out there? Weren’t they all men?" Shen Yi retorted.
Qin Jiao paused, chopsticks in hand, then burst out laughing. Shen Yi was worried she was going to laugh the baby right out!
The two chatted for a while longer about business. Shen Yi said, "Oh, right. Shen Feng and that Lu Jiuan guy have also partnered up to open an electronics company. They’ve been asking people to pull some strings and get me to give them a leg up."
Qin Jiao said, "In that book, Shen Feng also ended up in the electronics business, but he didn’t work with Lu Jiuan. How did those two end up together?"
Shen Yi said dismissively, "Who knows? Anyway, I told the person who came to plead their case that there was no way I’d help them, because Shen Feng’s mother destroyed my parents’ marriage."
After hearing this, Qin Jiao silently gave Shen Yi a thumbs-up. "You’re ruthless."
With that, even Shen Feng would be too embarrassed to bring it up again. Besides, they were all in the same social circle. The intermediary probably thought Shen Yi would feel obligated to save face and not bring up the matter, and would then help them get started, maybe even introduce them to some resources.
But who would have thought that Shen Yi would be even more ruthless and air out the dirty laundry himself?
Shen Yi slurped down his bowl of noodles, then dished out another for himself. "Jiao Jiao," he said, "I know I shouldn’t ask, but I’m still curious. You said that in that book, you married Shen Feng... so, were you happy together?"
’How should I put it? Setting aside all that business about past lives and books, it felt like that Shen Feng guy was Jiao Jiao’s ex-boyfriend.’
’Coupled with the fact that Shen Yi had always despised the man, Shen Feng was like a fish bone stuck in his throat.’
’It didn’t really affect anything, but every now and then, it was incredibly irritating.’
’It was just so aggravating.’
