Chapter 1241: Chapter 1241: Detecting a Clue
Right when they were preparing to go to the snack street, Chu Liyuan’s phone call came through.
“Uncle, are you off work?”
“Where are you?”
“We’re preparing to grab some food! Uncle, do you want to come along?”
“Address!”
“The snack street I first took you to!”
“Wait for me!”
“Okay!”
Although it was just a few simple sentences, they were still chock-full of couple’s sweetness.
“Is Chu Liyuan coming over?”
“Yes!”
“Ah, this Chu Liyuan really, really doesn’t want to leave your side for even a moment!” Grandpa said with a hint of deliberate meaning.
Sure enough, after hearing Grandpa’s words, “Xi Rui, don’t just stand there, hurry up and give Shang Simiao a call, tell him to come over quickly!”
“Ah?”
“Do you want to passively be fed this couple’s sweetness?”
“Ah?”
“What ‘ah’? Hurry up and make the call!” It was clear that Grandpa had lost his patience.
“Oh!” Urged by Grandpa, Xi Rui made a call to Shang Simiao, “Grandpa, Shang Simiao said he’ll be here soon.”
“What do you mean ‘soon’? Tell him to come right now, immediately!”
“Oh!”
The distance to the snack street wasn’t far for Jian Dan and the others, so it didn’t take long to get there.
But Jian Dan hadn’t expected that when they arrived, they would already see Uncle’s car.
“Uncle, how did you get here so fast?”
“Because I wanted to see you sooner!”
Jian Dan was naturally very happy to hear this, but she also felt it was a bit strange because Uncle had been particularly sugary sweet with his words lately, almost all the time, and it was almost too much for her to handle.
“Uncle, have you been hiding something from me lately?”
“Why do you ask?”
“I just feel like what you’ve been saying lately is a bit…”
“Don’t like it?”
“Of course I like it, it’s just a bit…”
“If you like it, that’s good enough, no need to think too much about it!”
“Xi Rui, where’s Shang Simiao? The lovey-dovey atmosphere here is so strong, if we don’t counter-attack, we’ll really get hurt!” Grandpa commented, watching the interaction between Jian Dan and Chu Liyuan.
“I’ll call him right now!” At this moment, Xi Rui felt the same as Grandpa.
The call connected~
“What’s up? Missing me that much?” Shang Simiao appeared behind Xi Rui at some point, wrapping an arm around her waist and leaning in close to her ear.
Xi Rui instinctively shrank her neck, “When did you arrive? You gave me a scare!”
“I feared you’d miss me too much, so of course I had to come quickly, otherwise, you might get lovesick!”
How did these two ice blocks, Chu Liyuan and Shang Simiao, melt after meeting Jian Dan and Xi Rui? And the speed of melting is really fast, too.
Seeing the interaction between the two, Grandpa nodded in satisfaction.
Xi Rui was somewhat unaccustomed to Shang Simiao’s sudden change.
However, precisely because of this, Xi Rui saw something that others did not.
When Shang Simiao held her in his arms, her gaze happened to meet Jiang Xue’er’s, so she clearly saw the flash of jealousy in Jiang Xue’er’s eyes, directed not at anyone else but at Jian Dan.
Xi Rui finally understood why she felt that way when she saw her in the morning. Although she hid her emotions very well, that very last trace was still picked up by Xi Rui.
“Now that everyone’s here, let’s hurry in! I’m starving.”
“Do you mind if two more people join?”
“Zi Yan? How come you’re here too?” Seeing Zi Yan and Lu Ting, who appeared out of nowhere.
“You guys didn’t go home, and it was just too boring for Lu Ting and me to eat alone at home, so I called Chu Li, and he told us you were here, so we came over!”
“My bad, I didn’t think of it.”
“So you’ll have to treat us to food!”
“No problem, I’ll host, and Uncle will pay!”
“Jian Jian, so generous of you?”
“If Uncle runs out of money, I’ll just take care of him!” Jian Dan said with a laugh.
“Alright then, if I run out of money, you’ll take care of me!”
Of course, everyone knew these two were just teasing. Who was Chu Liyuan? Would he ever run out of money?
While the two were playfully teasing each other, Jiang Xue’er’s gaze stayed on them. Of course, when Jiang Xue’er watched Jian Dan and the others, there were also two pairs of eyes watching her…
