Hu Miaomiao felt even more guilty. She wanted to take off the hairpin, but felt that it was too deliberate.
However, she promised Lin Xiumu that she would keep it a secret, but she would feel guilty if she told Jiang Meng.
After several struggles, Hu Miaomiao finally said nothing.
When Jiang Meng saw this, he didn't intervene, but his expression was colder than usual.
Hu Miaomiao never understood what he was thinking. Seeing that he didn't ask, she just secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Jiang Meng saw everything.
At the dinner table, except for Lin Yuqing who dared not show up, the other four people were there.
Jiang Meng ate in silence, acting the same as usual, but Jiang Tao, who knew him well, knew in his heart that his elder brother was angry at this moment.
Jiang Tao's heart was pounding. He wondered why he was angry. Was it because they were studying in the room, or because Miaomiao held his hand?
Every guess seemed possible. When he thought that his eldest brother might be silent because of himself, Jiang Tao felt guilty and felt deeply guilty.
The more Jiang Tao thought about it, the heavier his heart sank. He gave him a chicken leg and whispered: "Brother, eat more meat."
Jiang Meng paused and didn't return the chicken legs, but just responded lightly.
However, the more he behaved like this, the more Jiang Tao's guess was confirmed. I wonder what the elder brother is angry about?
Immediately, Jiang Tao looked at Hu Miaomiao, trying to see something on her face.
Hu Miaomiao happened to catch his eye and asked doubtfully: "Jiang Tao, what do you see me doing?"
Jiang Tao froze and subconsciously looked at his elder brother's expression.
But the strange thing is that the eldest brother didn't seem to be aware of it, or didn't want to ask anything, and didn't even look at them, just minding his own meal.
Soon, Jiang Meng put down the bowl. As soon as he stood up, Jiang Tao hurriedly stood up, "Brother, where are you going?"
"I'm full, you guys eat slowly." Jiang Meng went out without explaining.
Hu Miaomiao looked at his leaving figure and asked doubtfully: "Is he full so soon?"
Jiang Tao smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid it's not that I'm full, but that I'm full of anger."
"Full of anger? Who made him angry?" When Hu Miaomiao heard that he was angry, he immediately put down the bowl.
Jiang Tao shook his head, and Xiao Liu also shook his head. If Jiang Meng didn't say anything, it would be difficult for others to guess what he was thinking.
Hu Miaomiao couldn't figure out the reason and had no intention of eating anymore, so she immediately chased after him.
"You..." Jiang Tao hesitated, but finally did not stop her.
In the yard, Jiang Meng was collecting chopped firewood.
After Hu Miaomiao came out, she didn't dare to talk to him at first. She just walked around as if she wanted to help but didn't know what to do.
Because she was in the way, he was almost hit several times, but Jiang Meng was stunned without saying a word and just walked around her.
Hu Miaomiao was speechless and felt a little uncomfortable.
Suddenly, a piece of firewood fell to the ground.
"Brother Jiang Meng, let me get it for you." Hu Miaomiao picked it up immediately, smiling sweetly.
Jiang Meng glanced at her lightly and walked straight into the woodshed.
Hu Miaomiao was stunned, not knowing whether he agreed or disagreed, but she still followed him into the woodshed with firewood.
A large pile of firewood was thrown haphazardly on the ground, not neatly stacked as usual.
At this time, Lin Yuqing was hiding in the dark, fearing that Jiang Meng would take it out on him if he saw her. After all, she didn't want to leave yet.
As soon as he turned around, Jiang Meng bumped into Hu Miaomiao.
"ah!"
Hu Miaomiao screamed, and the firewood in his hand fell to the ground. His fingers stung, and a wooden thorn actually stuck into him.
"Stop walking around, and don't hinder my work." Jiang Meng's words were not serious, but Hu Miaomiao still felt uncomfortable after hearing them.
"Okay, I won't hinder you anymore..."
Hu Miaomiao spoke very quietly, with a cautious expression that looked extremely pitiful.
Jiang Meng frowned, but softened his heart and asked proactively: "Miaomiao, do you have anything to say to me?"
As long as she said it, Jiang Meng would believe it unconditionally.
"I..." Hu Miaomiao's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak for a long time.
Jiang Meng laughed at himself, but his eyes seemed cold, "So, you have nothing to say?"
At this time, Jiang Meng didn't want to be angry with her, so he asked for the last time: "Where did you get your hairpin?"
Hu Miaomiao was speechless, and finally took off the hairpin without realizing it, but still didn't explain.
"Okay, you don't have to say anything, and I won't ask again." Jiang Meng's face was livid, and he walked directly around her and went out.
Hu Miaomiao called him in panic, but Jiang Meng didn't stop.
"What should I do? Is he angry with me?"
Hu Miaomiao's face was pale, and when she thought of Jiang Meng's indifference, she felt so uncomfortable that she almost cried.
"I, I...I have to stop him from being angry..."
Hu Miaomiao was flustered. She wanted to make Jiang Meng happy, but she didn't know what to do.
She was about to go out when she heard someone calling her from behind.
"Lin Yuqing? Why are you hiding here?"
Lin Yuqing chuckled. Did she want to hide? She didn't even see how terrifying Jiang Meng's low pressure was. How could she dare to show her head?
However, Hu Miaomiao only wanted to find Jiang Meng and didn't care about her.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Lin Yuqing said directly: "Miss Hu, I want you to leave Brother Jiang."
"What?"
Lin Yuqing sighed, with a look of embarrassment on her face: "I don't want to embarrass you, but there is something you probably don't know yet..."
Hu Miaomiao asked uneasily: "What's the matter?"
"Oh, actually, Brother Jiang and I are engaged. You don't know about this, right?"
"Impossible!" Hu Miaomiao retorted subconsciously, but her face turned even uglier. She was afraid that her heart was turned upside down.
Lin Yuqing shrugged, with an "I knew it" expression, and took out a pendant from her arms.
"This is our engagement token. The other half is with Jiang Meng. If you don't believe it, just go find it."
Hu Miaomiao seemed to have lost his soul and murmured: "No way, brother Jiang Meng can't lie to me..."
"I also know that it's hard for you to accept, so I haven't told you for a long time, but..." Lin Yuqing said in a long tone, dissatisfied: "Brother Jiang is mine. You have occupied him for so long, it's time to return it to me, right?"
Her eyes revealed deep disgust, as if Hu Miaomiao was a shameless thief.
Hu Miaomiao was greatly shocked. After staggering a few times, he rushed out with his head buried in the air.
