âThud!â
A tear the size of a bean fell on the table.
In the quiet room, it seemed somewhat jarring.
Jiang Xu was stunned.
He had imagined many scenarios.
Like Jiang Xiaoyan going crazy and smashing things.
Like her swearing vociferously.
Like her chasing Jiang Xu with a knife and so on.
But he had never imagined that Jiang Xiaoyan would cry.
This was completely out of character for her.
Following the first tear, Jiang Xiaoyanâs tears came like a breached dam.
Pouring out ceaselessly.
Her makeup was ruined.
The tabletop became wet.
She looked as if she was going to fall apart.
Moreover, she wasnât sobbing loudly but crying silently, without making a single sound.
This gave Jiang Xu the feeling that he was truly despicable, truly a piece of trash.
He hastily stood up, took a tissue, and handed it to her, âDonât cry anymore, I havenât really done anything to you.â
Jiang Xiaoyan didnât reach out for the tissue.
She just lowered her eyelids slightly, looking at the tabletop, still crying silently.
Completely different from her usual self.
She looked exactly like a little girl bullied by a thugâpitiful, weak, and helpless.
At that moment, the door was pushed open.
The waiter brought in the dishes.
Upon seeing Jiang Xiaoyan, who seemed about to shatter, the waiterâs eyes widened, suddenly feeling an immense pity.
So beautiful!
So cute!
Such an amazing figure!
Such a good temperament! You beast made her cry.
If it were a normal kind of crying, it would still be okay, but you made her cry like this; thatâs just too despicable.
Right then, the waiter really wanted to play the hero and save the beauty.
But thinking he might get fired for it, he chickened out.
If he were to be fired, he wouldnât be able to spend money in League of Legends anymore.
Without the money, the game company might go bankrupt.
If they went bankrupt, how would he buy skins for his wife in the game?
So, in the end, he could only leave, holding back his pity.
Jiang Xu watched, puzzled, as the waiter, who had shown seven or eight different expressions within ten seconds of entering, left.
Is he sick or what?
Forget it, forget it, thereâs no time to deal with an unnamed extra right now.
Itâs better to coax Jiang Xiaoyan first.
To be honest.
Jiang Xu wasnât afraid of Jiang Xiaoyan going crazy in all sorts of ways.
But he was afraid of her like this right now.
Not saying a word, just crying.
Who knows if she might suddenly stab Jiang Xu in the heart while crying,
Then give herself a stab and pull off some kind of double suicide.
With that in mind, Jiang Xu had no choice but to pull out all the stops to coax this madam.
But who knew, the more he coaxed, the harder she cried.
The tears that streamed down could have been used for a bath.
Come on, youâve got way too much water there.
Jiang Xu felt extremely drained.
And thenâ
He slammed the table suddenly.
âBang!â
The sound was loud.
Jiang Xu shouted sternly, âShut up, stop crying.â
âCry, cry, cry, all you know is to cry, youâll cry the house down!â
Jiang Xiaoyan stopped crying.
The tears stopped as soon as they were told.
She didnât speak, either, just looking at him with her swollen, watery eyes.
Jiang Xu was almost on the verge of collapse, âMadam, what on earth do you want?â
He would rather plow two acres of land than continue like this.
Jiang Xiaoyan still didnât speak.
She just picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, pacing herself.
She ate very slowly.
She had to chew each mouthful over a dozen times before swallowing.
Jiang Xu: â???â
He was utterly baffled.
He had no idea what trick this little ancestor was planning to pull this time.
But at least she wasnât crying anymore, which was a good thing.
Jiang Xu really couldnât figure out what Jiang Xiaoyan was thinking or trying to do at the moment.
Seeing her quietly eating, he didnât dare disturb her.
Silently, he poured her a glass of juice, then held his breath and turned himself invisible.
He even put his phone on silent.
Fearing any disturbance might upset this little ancestor.
After all, it wouldnât be fun if she threw the knife and fork in her hand at him on a whim.
A meal took Jiang Xiaoyan over an hour to finish.
After eating, she took out her makeup kit.
She touched up her makeup.
Her eyes were still swollen and red, marring her appearance somewhat.
But that made her look even more endearing.
âI wonât be attending your wedding,â Jiang Xiaoyan finally spoke.
Her voice was bone-chillingly cold, âBut donât worry, the gift that should be sent will be sent.â
âAnd you donât need to worry about me causing a scene at your wedding either.â
Jiang Xu opened his mouth.
He wanted to say something, but for a moment, he didnât know what to say.
All he heard was Jiang Xiaoyan continuing, âFrom now on, if I donât contact you, you shouldnât contact me either.â
âRemember what Iâve said, no matter what happens, donât contact me.â
After speaking, she picked up her bag and stood up to leave.
Jiang Xu sighed in his heart.
At this moment, he also felt extremely uncomfortable.
But alas, everything had its order of precedence.
He met An Nuonuo first.
He also fell for An Nuonuo first.
His heart was big enough to hold all the business in the world.
Yet his heart was also so small that it could only fit An Nuonuo alone.
Sometimes he found it hard to understand why Jiang Xiaoyan insisted on him.
Even though he had told her many times already.
Unfortunately, she just wouldnât listen.
Sigh.
Perhaps that was the charm of being the protagonist.
Knowing there was no chance yet still rushing in like a moth to the flame.
Jiang Xu also chased after her.
He decided he should at least personally escort Jiang Xiaoyan home before anything else.
He was a bit worried about her current state, afraid she might encounter some accident on her way home alone.
He followed far behind Jiang Xiaoyan.
Only after seeing her enter her home did Jiang Xu leave.
After getting home, Jiang Xiaoyan collapsed to the floor, her eyes lifeless.
Even though she had long known about their impending marriage,
The actual date coming from Jiang Xuâs lips still left her breathlessly heartbroken.
Just now, at the restaurant, she had really wanted to finish Jiang Xu in one fell swoop.
Then give herself the same and go together, a case of togetherness in life and death.
But in the end, she held back.
She couldnât bring herself to hurt the only man she had ever cared for in her life.
After sitting paralyzed for a while, Jiang Xiaoyan called Zhou Qingyue, âCome keep me company drinking.â
Zhou Qingyue could tell why she was feeling this way from Jiang Xiaoyanâs subdued tone.
Zhou Qingyue had long since received the wedding invitation sent by Jiang Xu.
Without asking why, she simply said okay and immediately set off.
Putting aside her work, she rushed to Jiang Xiaoyanâs place in the shortest time.
Upon seeing her, Zhou Qingyue didnât say a word.
She opened several bottles of liquor.
âCome on, weâre not going home until weâre drunk tonight.â
âRight, not going home until weâre drunk!â
âDrink up, thereâs not a single good man!â
âNo, Jiang Xu is a good man, the best man in the world.â
Zhou Qingyue: ââ¦â
She had thought she was head over heels in love before.
Now, it seemed she was utterly mistaken.
Jiang Xiaoyan was the one who was truly, madly in love.
