Chen Juan looked calm and glanced at Xia Cheng. Seeing that she had no reaction, he took the chopsticks from her hand without politeness, sat down next to her, and started eating.
Xia Cheng gave him a cold look and had to go to the kitchen to get it again.
"Really or not?" Lu Beiyu looked at Chen Juan and deliberately spoke loudly to ensure that Xia Cheng could hear, "Are you saying something good is about to happen?"
Chen Juan lowered his eyes and ignored them.
"That's natural." Qiao Qiao said with a smile, "I'm going to have a sister-in-law soon. I will have a sister-in-law to protect me from now on. Look at my brother still bullying me."
Xia Cheng came back and sat down calmly, only to see that the plate in front of her was filled with her favorite dishes.
Qiaoqiao and Lu Beiyu were still talking, so this dish must have come from Chen Juanjia, and she hesitated whether to eat it.
With his peripheral vision, he glanced at Chen Juan, and he happened to look over.
He also said casually, "If you don't eat what you cook, you won't be poisoning it, right?"
Xia Cheng gave him a cold look. If he wanted to poison him, he would do it to you alone. How could he harm others?
She picked up her chopsticks and ate the food in front of her.
Chen Juan breathed a sigh of relief and raised the corners of his mouth.
Qiaoqiao and the others are still arguing.
Lu Beiyu said to Qiaoqiao, but looked at Xia Cheng, "Are you so sure that Shen Wanwan is your sister-in-law?"
Qiaoqiao nodded with certainty, "Of course, she and my brother have known each other for a long time. Both our families are happy to see it happen, and my brother has no objection, right, brother?"
In fact, she didn't like Shen Wan very much. She always felt that she was too pretentious and unreal. However, since her brother liked her, she had to accept it reluctantly.
Lu Beiyu looked at Chen Juan and Xia Cheng, both of whom were eating seriously. These two were really a couple, so able to keep their composure.
He cleared his throat and asked deliberately, "Assistant Xia, do you think Ah Juan and Shen Wan are a good match?"
Xia Cheng's beautiful eyes were startled, and she said seriously, "They are a perfect match. They are both talented and beautiful."
Lu Beiyu pursed his lips, always wanting to smile.
Chen Juan frowned and said in a deep tone, "If you don't want to eat, get out."
Qiao Qiao obediently shut up and lowered her head, not daring to speak any more.
Lu Beiyu said with a smile, "Oh, we are not allowed to eat. Do you two want to eat alone?"
Qiao Qiao cautiously glanced at her brother and found that he was staring at her. She was startled and couldn't figure it out. Did she say something wrong again?
Lu Beiyu observed Xia Cheng's face. She was eating as if nothing had happened, looking at her phone and chatting with others from time to time, without being affected at all.
But it was obvious that the atmosphere on the table was a little solemn. The ice source came from Chen Juan.
Lu Beiyu broke the silence with a smile, "Assistant Xia, your craftsmanship is really good, did you have special training?"
Xia Cheng smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated. It's all done in vain."
When she was studying abroad, she was not used to the local food, so she bought all the ingredients herself. She fiddled around, but maybe she had talent, and she actually did pretty well.
Lu Beiyu laughed and said, "Ah Juan, is the food cooked by Shen Wan delicious?"
He guessed that the woman, who thought of herself as a fairy all day long, must not be able to cook.
Chen Juan gave him a cold look and almost told him to get out.
After the meal, the man took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Two men wearing aprons were standing in front of the stove, each busy, which was a bit cute.
Lu Beiyu whistled at Chen Juan and said, "Hey, you're not really planning to marry Shen Wan, are you?"
Chen Juan replied angrily, "Bigamy is illegal."
Lu Beiyu breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't stand the condescending Shen Wan. "Then why don't you explain it to Xia Cheng?"
Chen Juan washed the dishes and said with a cold face, "Explain what?"
Lu Beiyu raised his eyebrows, "Your mother and Shen Wan are choosing wedding dresses."
Chen Juan tugged on his lips, "Do you think she cares?"
Lu Beiyu looked at him and asked, "Don't care?"
"Care?" Chen Juan said.
Lu Beiyu thought about it seriously and answered affirmatively, "I don't care."
Chen Juan was silent and looked at the bowl under the water, as if he wanted to throw it away.
Lu Beiyu cleared his throat, "It's not you who cares about her, but she doesn't care about you, right?"
"Do you think I would be so mean?" Chen Juan washed the foam off his hands, took off his gloves, and threw them on the table, "Wash them yourself."
After that, he strode out of the kitchen. Lu Beiyu looked at the dishes in the sink, all of which had to be washed, and sighed, "I am the one who made the mistake."
In the living room, Xia Cheng and Qiaoqiao were talking about something. When Chen Juan came out, Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Brother, the translation materials have been sent to your email. Remember to check."
Chen Juan's expression remained unchanged. He ignored her or looked at anyone and went directly to the study.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xia Cheng said hello to Qiaoqiao and left.
She took a taxi, made an appointment, and had to wait at the door. The car arrived soon. As soon as Xia Cheng got in, a figure, faster than her, opened the door on the other side and sat in. It was Chen Juan.
Xia Cheng stopped and said generously, "Then sit down and I'll make another appointment."
Is this about keeping a distance? Chen Juan's eyes were dangerous, "Sit in."
Xia Cheng hesitated for a moment before sitting in.
The driver looked at her and wondered, has this girl met a bad guy?
Chen Juan was a little impatient, his eyes as cold as ice, "Drive!"
The driver felt cold all over and immediately stepped on the accelerator.
Chen Juan was sitting with his legs spread, taking up a lot of space.
Xia Cheng tried not to bump into him and asked, "Where are you going, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Juan looked ahead and pulled his collar, "Follow my wife."
Xia Cheng was calm as usual, "Where is Shen Wan? Did you ask the master to send you there?"
Her calm tone seemed to be talking to someone else.
There must be no woman in this world who is as generous as she is in sending her husband to her lover.
Chen Juan closed his eyes to rest and suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, "Jealous?"
Xia Cheng chuckled, "I know myself. Mr. Chen will get his wish soon. Do you want to divorce me?"
Chen Juan opened his eyes, looked at her and asked, "Do you want to leave?"
Does she want to change anything? She doesn't want to at the moment, but Shen Wan has already chosen a wedding dress, hasn't she?
No matter how depressed Xia Cheng is, she will not persist in her pursuit. "Of course I can't hinder Mr. Chen's happiness, but I have a condition."
There were inexplicable emotions hidden in Chen Juan's eyes. His face had turned cold, and even his tone was not friendly, "What are the conditions?"
Xia Cheng felt that everything should be brought to the table. She thought for a moment and said, "I won't make it too difficult for you. I originally planned to divorce after a year, but you really can't wait, and I can't insist on it." , the lawyer in charge of my dad’s case took it because of your face, I hope it won’t affect him, and in a few days, I want to take you to see my mother.”
Chen Juan clenched his hands subconsciously and looked at her quietly without responding for a long time.
Xia Cheng thought he was afraid that she would have to divide his property, so she said, "As long as you agree to the two conditions I mentioned, I will not divide your property."
Chen Juan still didn't speak, his eyes were filled with frost, and even the atmosphere in the car was a bit strange.
Xia Cheng looked over and couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"
