Chapter 1239: Chapter 721: Clingy and Flirty Xiaosi (3rd Update)
Outside, the cold wind continued to rage. Jiang Chengsi stood quietly at ease, leaning against the table, towel in hand to dry his hair, watching her. His dark eyes seemed to hold traces of amusement, like ripples of water...
It made her heart feel warm.
Why was he staring at her like that?
She coughed lightly and turned her head to look elsewhere, pretending to examine the room, but she could still feel Jiang Chengsiâs gaze on her from the corner of her eye.
Doesnât he know how to be embarrassed?
"You... you stop looking at me."
"I like you, I enjoy looking at you, you donât like me looking at you?"
"..."
What kind of nonsense is he saying, she had no idea how to respond.
"Then should we do something?" Jiang Chengsi, who had never been alone with a girl, didnât know what else to do, so he secretly sent a message to Qi Zeyan:
[What do you and Xiaoruan do together every day? What are you up to?]
Quickly, a response came:
[Whatâs it to you, are you sick or something? Why are you prying into our private matters?]
He finally got a chance to hit a home run on Valentineâs Day, and this guy ruined it. He hadnât gotten even with him yet, and now he had the nerve to ask what he and Ruan Mengxi usually did!
Forget it, this guy just snubbed me, and now he needs me? Am I someone who comes and goes at anyoneâs beck and call?
At that moment, Qi Zeyan was leaving the hotel with his family, heading to the Ruan Family. Feeling a bit nervous, he wanted someone to talk to, but after snapping at Jiang Chengsi, Jiang actually ignored him.
Which only made him more frustrated.
Jiang Chengsi wanted to snap back, but then grandmaâs call came through, and he didnât get the chance to reply.
Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan had returned home an hour ago, and naturally, grandma wanted to ask about the visit to the Si Family. The two of them just said everything went well and didnât mention too much.
They werenât exactly sure how far this Miss Si and Jiang Chengsi had progressed, so they didnât bring it up. They also didnât mention the fact that "Miss Xiao" was Si Qingxiao.
Grandma had only been away from her great-grandson for a few hours and already missed him, holding Jiang Xiaowai and playing for a while. Upon hearing that he gave Si Yushan a hard time...
She was both angry and helpless.
"You little rascal, you even dared with Mr. Si, youâre so...," Grandma feigned a few taps on his little bottom, then glanced at the gift from the Si Family. Besides the red envelope, there was a small gold lock, notable for its exquisite design.
Jiang Xiaowai didnât know what heâd done, only giggled at Grandma.
"The Si Family is really polite." Grandma held Jiang Xiaowai. At her age, constantly holding a child was becoming a bit strenuous, yet she refused to let go, "By the way, when you went over this time, did you meet the daughter of the Si Family? Sheâs called... Si Qingxiao, I think thatâs the name."
Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan exchanged a glance, "We saw her."
"Howâs the young lady?"
"Sheâs quite nice," Tang Wan smiled, "Why do you suddenly bring her up?"
Grandma pointed at the pile of gifts beside them, "At noon, the Xie Family came by, bringing lots of stuff. They talked about Xie Duoâs marriage. Your grandpa on the Xie side is nearly worried to death. Youâre about the same age as your eldest brother, and after autumn, Jiangjiang and Taotao will both start elementary school, yet Xie Duo still hasnât made any progress..."
"And in the conversation, the Si Family came up."
"Chengsi joked before about Xie Duo going to the Si Family to become their son-in-law. Old Xie said heâd rather see him become a son-in-law than have him around the house, thinking heâs an eyesore."
"It seems their families have some business cooperation; the details Iâm not sure of. It looks like, by any means this year, the Xie Family aims to resolve Xie Duoâs affair, so I was asking you, whatâs Si Missyâs temperament like?"
...
Jiang Chengsi was merely jesting at the time, and Jiang Jinsang thought he might be an idiot. Little did they know the Xie Family was already this anxious about Xie Duoâs marriage.
"Miss Si is quite nice, but she might not necessarily suit Xie Duo."
"Iâm just asking. We donât have that kind of bond with the Si Family. Even if I wanted to play matchmaker, itâs not possible. Thatâs between their two families. Iâm already too busy managing the children; there are still lots of messy matters at home..."
When Grandma mentioned "messy matters at home," she certainly referred to Jiang Chengsi, "Talking about that fourth one just makes me so mad."
"When recruiting an assistant before, all of Beijing knew his eccentric nature. Anyone who dared allow their daughter to marry him must be nuts."
"This kid doesnât care a bit. Now just looking at him angers me. On Lantern Festival, he didnât come home for dinner; he must have gone out to fool around with those riff-raff friends of his again."
