The charming girl stretched out her arms and pounced on Jiang Qiran.
Shen Xi’er thought that even if Jiang Qiran didn’t take the initiative to hug her, he wouldn’t resist.
After all, in this world, besides Jiang Miaomiao, she was the only one who could be around Jiang Qiran.
However, the moment Shen Xi’er pounced on him, Jiang Qiran frowned and subconsciously dodged her.
Shen Xi’er’s eyes widened and she couldn’t stop herself in time. She staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, she managed to control her balance at the last moment and didn’t really fall.
…
There were many people in the hall of this building. When Jiang Qiran saw such a beautiful girl, he actually wanted to dodge!
Were they breaking up?
Many gossipers stopped and looked at Jiang Qiran and Shen Xi’er.
Shen Xi’er’s black and white eyes flashed. She bit her lips with her pearly white teeth, and a hint of grievance flashed across her face.
No one had ever disrespected her like this since she was young!
In the past, Jiang Qiran didn’t take the initiative, but at least he wouldn’t dodge to the side like he did now!
She pursed her lips, and her eyes were soft and filled with a little girl’s grievance.
“Brother Qiran… have you not seen Xi’er for too long, so you’re not even willing to let Xi’er give you a hug?”
“I took a plane from Dong Chen Country to come here from thousands of miles away. I didn’t even return to S City. I came straight to A City, and the first thing I wanted to do was to look for you. Aren’t you a little too heartless?”
She pouted her pink lips slightly, and her voice was soft.
When Jiang Qiran heard this, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
“I’m sorry, I’ve never liked to be too close to others.”
So in Brother Qiran’s eyes, she was “others?”
Shen Xi’er bit her lips, and her delicate hand suddenly clenched a few times.
However, she was in front of her sweetheart after all. Because she knew Jiang Qiran’s personality was cold, Shen Xi’er naturally didn’t dare to complain too much.
She took a deep breath and immediately smiled at Jiang Qiran.
“It’s okay! I know you’ve always been like this, but Xi’er has been your neighbor for more than ten years. We can’t be strangers just because we haven’t seen each other for three years, right? You’ll get used to me when we see each other more in the future.”
Shen Xi’er looked at Jiang Qiran with a smile, her beautiful eyes curved into a crescent moon. She was very likable.
Jiang Qiran nodded indifferently, and then walked to the elevator next to him.
He was tall and had long legs, and he walked very fast. He had no intention of stopping for Shen Xi’er.
After a while, he left Shen Xi’er behind.
Seeing that Jiang Qiran’s reaction was still so cold, Shen Xi’er gritted her teeth. The moment the elevator was about to close, she immediately reached out and squeezed into the elevator.
Because a large group of people had just gone out, the elevator this time was very empty. In fact, only Jiang Qiran and Shen Xi’er were inside.
Jiang Qiran’s long and narrow eyes swept over Shen Xi’er, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.
“Why did you follow me here?”
Shen Xi’er pouted her pink lips, and her cheeks puffed up slightly. She was as cute as a koala.
“I came to see you.”
Jiang Qiran frowned and his voice was cold and clear. The unwelcome tone in his voice was obvious.
“Didn’t you already see me?”
Shen Xi’er’s eyes widened. She pouted her lips and pushed Jiang Qiran’s arm.
After all, they were in the elevator. Jiang Qiran was caught off guard and Shen Xi’er touched his arm.
His frown deepened.
…
And when Shen Xi’er saw his unhappy look, she felt extremely displeased.
It had only been three years since they last met. Why did it feel like Jiang Qiran really saw her as a stranger?
Originally, in her expectations, when they had just reunited after a long separation, she would give him a big hug and take the opportunity to give Jiang Qiran two kisses on the face, using the open customs of Dong Chen Country as an excuse.
However, who would have thought that Jiang Qiran would act so irrationally!
Shen Xi’er was conceited about her beauty. Regardless of whether it was in Jiuzhou or Dong Chen Country, the number of boys chasing after her couldn’t even fill a single street.
Why did Jiang Qiran seem to be so resistant to her face, which could kill countless people in an instant?
…
Shen Xi’er’s long eyelashes flickered, and a few strands of sparkling mist appeared in her exquisite eyes. She seemed to have been really wronged.
“Qiran, are you really that heartless? I chased you all the way here, and you don’t even want to invite me over to see your apartment?”
Jiang Qiran pursed his lips, and his expression was extremely cold.
“It’s not convenient.”
Shen Xi’er saw that Jiang Qiran spoke only three words. Although she knew that his personality was like this, she was used to the way the stars worshipped the moon, and she still felt indignant in her heart.
“What’s so inconvenient?! Do you think I would do anything to you if it was only the two of us?”
Shen Xi’er understood a little, so she pretended to be smart and made a face at Jiang Qiran.
In her opinion, Jiang Qiran had always been the kind of person who had high standards, and it was impossible for him to have a girlfriend. Even if he did, she should only be an outstanding person like her who could stand side by side with him.
Ever since she was young, Shen Xi’er had been trying her best to understand Jiang Qiran.
She had even subconsciously leaned on Jiang Qiran’s mother. Although Shen Xi’er had always liked bright and colorful clothes, she had also tried her best to buy elegant and stylish ones.
Sometimes, when she spoke and did things, she would unconsciously imitate Jiang Qiran’s mother’s style. She had even learned to play the Guqin.
However, because the Guqin would hurt her fingers and make the skin on her hands especially rough, Shen Xi’er only learned one elementary level. In the end, that was that.
The beautiful Shen Xi’er would not be willing to have her skin become rough in the future.
…
The reason why she had to imitate Jiang Qiran’s mother was because Jiang Qiran’s attachment to Su Wan was too obvious.
Shen Xi’er even thought that Jiang Qiran actually had an Oedipal complex.
Whenever Su Wan appeared, Jiang Qiran’s gaze would be the first to land in that direction. Even Jiang Qiran himself didn’t notice it, but Shen Xi’er did.
Therefore, the standard for Jiang Qiran to find a girlfriend was definitely based on Su Wan!
…
Just as Shen Xi’er was thinking about something, she suddenly noticed the bag in Jiang Qiran’s hand.
She had been too focused on her sweetheart earlier. Now that she saw that Jiang Qiran was still carrying something in his hand and that it was obviously a sanitary napkin brand, Shen Xi’er widened her eyes in shock.
Jiang Qiran would actually buy something like this?
This kind of thing did not fit his status at all!
Shen Xi’er would never have thought that Jiang Qiran had a girlfriend.
“Qiran, why would you buy these? Does Miaomiao live here?”
She bit her lip and suddenly felt a little jealous of Jiang Miaomiao.
Ever since she was young, Jiang Qiran had always been very protective of Jiang Miaomiao. Although he didn’t say it out loud, it was obvious that he was biased towards his sister.
Fortunately, she was only his sister.. Otherwise, she would be her competitor.
