Chapter 24 Was it Love at First Sight?
Song Liangjiang let go of Chu Jingmoâs arm and was about to sit up straight when he wound his arm around her. She slid into his arms and they looked at the menu together.
âWe didnât plan to get married,â Chu Jingmo replied vaguely. As for what he meant, it depended on everyoneâs guess.
They didnât plan to get married, so they didnât take marriage seriously.
It was true that they hadnât planned to get married, but no one could resist true love. That was another way to put it.
Song Liangjiang was forced to lean against his chest as he selected a few more dishes. She kicked the back of Chu Jingmoâs calf a few times, but the manâs expression did not falter. It was obvious that not only was he shameless, but his skin was also thick.
After ordering, Chu Jingmo let go of her. Luo Fuyang took the initiative to bring up the topic of their childhood. This was not something that Song Liangjiang could participate in.
Song Liangjiang had just picked up her phone as Chu Jingmo talked to Luo Fuyang. But he snatched her phone away and placed it on the table without looking at her.
This behavior was just like a parent bringing a kid to a relativeâs house as a guest. She was bored and wanted to use her phone, but her dad had confiscated her phone and said that it was impolite to do so!
The person opposite him naturally noticed his natural action. Luo Fuyangâs voice unconsciously faltered.
âLiangjiang, are you bored because we are talking about the past?â Luo Fuyang asked, even though she knew the answer. âIâm sorry.â
âItâs fine. Continue chatting. I can listen and see if what he told me about his childhood was a lie or not.â Song Liangjiang sounded extremely magnanimous as she glanced at Luo Fuyang with a faint smile.
That womanâs family must own a tea place. She had too much leisure time on her hands indeed.
Luo Fuyangâs expression changed visibly. She picked up her cup and drank from it to hide her emotions.
Didnât Song Liangjiang just hint that Chu Jingmo had even shared his childhood memories with her?
When would they share such boring stuff? It had to be during their honeymoon.
The table fell silent for a moment. It was only when the waiter served the food that the honey-like awkwardness was broken.
Song Liangjiang didnât feel embarrassed at all. She continued to smile sweetly at Chu Jingmo as if she had deep affection for him.
In the next hour, Luo Fuyang rarely took the initiative to start a conversation, but Song Liangjiang was up to no good. She sweetly asked Chu Jingmo to feed her and make him act intimately. She wanted to disgust everyone with this meal.
Halfway through the meal, Luo Fuyang finally couldnât stand it anymore and left first.
Song Liangjiang watched Luo Fuyang leave and retreated from Chu Jingmo with a snort. âYour family must be running a high tea business in some vacation destination. Or perhaps a white lotus is blooming in a desert in Africa.â
He can meet his secret admirers everywhere indeed.
Xie Yu collapsed on the table and laughed uncontrollably for a long time.
Chu Jingmo slowly put down his chopsticks. âYou want me to feed you?â
Song Liangjiang quietly moved further away. When she felt that the distance wasnât enough, she inched away more.
âYou have a feud with Fuyang?â Xie Yu saved Song Liangjiang and finally stopped laughing.
Not exactly a feud, but we do have a grudge, she thought to herself.
But looking at the two childhood friends of Luo Fuyang in front of her, Song Liangjiang felt the truth seemed to be sowing discord between them, especially someone like Chu Jingmo.
âNo, itâs inevitable for peers to be jealous of each other.â Song Liangjiang hurriedly took a few bites. âIâm done. Take your time.â
With that, she grabbed a bun before she scuttled off
âYou care about her a lot?â Now Chu Jingmo looked at Xie Yu. This wasnât the first time.
âDo you believe in love at first sight?â Xie Yu watched until Song Liangjiang had completely disappeared from sight before turning back to look at Chu Jingmo. âBut I wonât do anything before you get a divorce. Donât worry about that.â
Chu Jingmoâs face darkened. âI remember telling you that Song Liangjiang gave birth to my son.â âI donât mind.â
âAre you serious?â Chu Jingmo looked at his friend, his emotions unreadable.
âOld Chu, although I donât know what happened between the two of you in the past, you definitely didnât get married because of love. Perhaps that child was also-an accident?â
âShe doesnât belong in the same world as us.â
âI can go to her world.â
âXie Yu!â Chu Jingmo bellowed in a deep voice, clearly displeased.
But Xie Yu wasnât afraid of him. âBut just like I promised, I wonât do anything until you get a divorce. But you will get a divorce, right?â
Chu Jingmo looked at his good friend and knew that he was not joking.
âAre you blind?â
Song Liangjiang was a heartless woman. What good would it do to be in love with her?
Xie Yu chuckled. âDoesnât love blind people?â
Chu Jingmo stood up and took his coat. âSong Liangjiang only has Harmonious Flowing Stream and Goblets in her heart. You should give up.â
Chu Jingmo left after saying that. Xie Yu watched as he strode away swiftly and smiled mysteriously.
When Song Liangjiang came out of the shower, she saw Chu Jingmo sitting on her bed. She cried out and reflexively whirled around and ran back to the bathroom.
âChu Jingmo!â Song Liangjiangâs heart was pounding. She suspected that he did it on purpose!
âHow dare you yell at me? Youâre getting bolder.â Chu Jingmo flipped through her sketches and then looked at the woman leaning against the bathroom door.
âYou came to a girlâs room in the middle of the night. Itâs good enough that I didnât call you a hooligan.â Song Liangjiang hid in the bathroom and glared at the man who was still sitting on her bed.
âGirl?â Chu Jingmo had some objections to this word.
Song Liangjiang was stunned for a moment. She suddenly thought of the two rascals at home and felt guilty. However, she couldnât show it.
âWhat, Iâm no longer a girl at twenty-three?â
Chu Jingmo put down her sketches and snorted meaningfully.
âCome here.â
âGet out.â Song Liangjiang insisted.
âDo you want to take a look at the photos of Harmonious Flowing Stream and Goblets?â
âReally?â She took a step forward, then thought of something before she stepped back again. âSend them to my phone.â
âItâs fine if you donât want to look,â Chu Jingmo replied. He rose and tidied his shirt calmly before turning.
âWait!â Song Liangjiang looked down at the towel on her body and quickly ran to the bed to get her pajamas. She disappeared into the bathroom like smoke. âGive me a minute. Iâll be done soon. Donât leave!â
Chu Jingmo only caught a glimpse of a white shadow flash past his eyes. Those fair and slender legs entered his vision without warning and quickly left.
Chu Jingmo subconsciously tugged at his tie and suppressed the inappropriate illusion in his mind.
However, some memories that had long been dormant began to stir unconsciously. It was just that he hadnât realized it yet.
Song Liangjiang changed into her pajamas as quickly as possible and ran out. When she reached Chu Jingmo, her eyes were bright. âPhotos. Show them to me.â
Chu Jingmo looked at the woman who usually wanted to stay away from him, but now, because of some photos, she was so close to him.
Her freshly washed hair was still dripping water, and her face was still flushed from the hot shower. What did Xie Yu say earlier on?
Love at first sightâ¦
