After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?
Chapter 121 Are You Unable to Understand Human Speech?

Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Are You Unable to Understand Human Speech?

Zhou Hansheng inquired about Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun, but his understanding was only superficial.

The real situation is known only to those directly involved.

At this point, he wanted to explain to Shen Qingqing, but didn’t know where to start.

Just like Jiang Zhixun said, news that’s not verified might very well be rumors...

Zhou Hansheng could see clearly that the Jiang Family didn’t want to discuss Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun’s private matters in such a setting.

Based on his understanding of Shen Qingqing, she wouldn’t be happy having her privacy discussed.

Words reached his lips, only to be swallowed back.

Seeing Jiang Zhixun openly serving Shen Qingqing food stirred anger in his heart.

This guy is just taking advantage of Miss Shen’s amnesia to exploit the situation!

Jiang Zhixun hadn’t figured out the situation yet.

He believed that the elders were helping him maintain the decorum, making it hard for Shen Qingqing to turn against him.

Anyway, as long as she doesn’t drive him away, that would be great!

He served Shen Qingqing another piece of fish.

"Fewer bones in the belly, you can eat without worry."

Shen Qingqing was prepared this time, and reached out to block, "Thank you, no need."

Jiang Zhixun examined her with his eyes.

He felt that Shen Qingqing was a bit odd but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what.

He didn’t push his advantage.

Afraid of upsetting her and ending on bad terms.

Knowing Shen Qingqing loved fish, he rearranged the dishes to move the steamed fish in front of her.

Shen Qingqing awkwardly commented, "Today we are here for Doctor Zhou’s dinner."

The old man also glared at Jiang Zhixun, "Only knows how to stir up trouble."

Jiang Zhixun gave a half-smile, "Doctor Zhou is not the type who fusses about, he will serve himself."

When rivals meet, they turn particularly jealous.

Even knowing the other was being sarcastic, Zhou Hansheng could only endure.

Otherwise, it would just embarrass Miss Shen.

He didn’t want to make things difficult for her.

He gave Shen Qingqing a relaxed smile, "My arms are long, I can reach far."

Shen Qingqing also smiled and teased, "If you can’t reach... I’ll serve you."

If it weren’t for the elders present, Zhou Hansheng felt that he would definitely follow through and let Shen Qingqing serve him food.

He felt a bit regretful.

Not knowing if, the next time they meet, Miss Shen would still be this agreeable?

Jiang Zhixun was unspeakably upset.

This was his wife, why should she be serving food to another man?

He wanted to say a few more words, but received a warning look from Shen Qingqing.

He tugged at the corner of his mouth and forced a smile, "Doctor Zhou is a guest, I’m not going to eat him."

Is there any need for her to give him such a cold look?

Due to Jiang Zhixun’s sudden return to Beijing, this meal was awkward and tense.

The old man originally intended to test Zhou Hansheng, to see if he was worth trusting, but Jiang Zhixun’s disruption prevented any of the plans from being executed.

He glared at Jiang Zhixun again and muttered, "Neither early nor late, just knows how to create trouble!"

Jiang Zhixun pretended not to hear.

He asked his mother to take the old man back to the main house first.

Madam Jiang: "You’re not coming back?"

"No, I’m not."

It’s rare for him to return to Beijing, and he would leave tonight; right now, he just wants to follow Shen Qingqing and look at her a few more times.

Madam Jiang didn’t know how many days of leave Jiang Zhixun has, but she understands his intentions.

Surely he wants to stick close to Qingqing.

She simply handed him the keys to the rented apartment, "The room opposite Qingqing’s, Miss Shi went to the Northwest, so I rented it, if necessary, you can rest there."

"You’re truly my mother."

Madam Jiang laughed, "For you, I’ve given up my dignity, don’t let me down."

Glancing at Shen Qingqing not far away, talking to Zhou Hansheng.

She lowered her voice and said, "Hurry up and win Qingqing back, then you two can remarry; and get busy having a few kids, so you don’t end up divorcing again over disagreements in the future."

Having kids...

That’s something Jiang Zhixun had long thought about.

Back in the Northwest, he even cleaned himself up to meet Shen Qingqing at the lodging.

But...

Thinking of that day, Jiang Zhixun felt both awkward and sweet.

He held Qingqing and slept the night, even kissed her.

Actually, they did have beautiful memories!

"Don’t mention this to her."

Having kids requires Shen Qingqing’s consent.

The most important thing right now is to gain Shen Qingqing’s forgiveness.

Maybe because Shen Qingqing had ignored him before, this contrast made Jiang Zhixun feel that, on this return, her attitude towards him had improved a lot.

Even if they couldn’t reconcile immediately, this little happiness is enough for him to savor for a long time.

Next time he returns to Beijing, it should be for the New Year.

By then, will Qingqing forgive him?

His sharp gaze fell on Zhou Hansheng; as long as certain people don’t take advantage of the situation, Qingqing will surely forgive him!

He sent his mother and the old man off in the car.

With relaxed eyebrows, Jiang Zhixun held his jacket, leisurely tossing it over his shoulder.

Long fingers hooked the key ring, spinning it several times.

He walked to Shen Qingqing’s side, "Time to go home."

With no elders present, Shen Qingqing couldn’t be bothered to play nice with Jiang Zhixun.

Her intuition told her to stay away from this person.

"We still have things to do."

Jiang Zhixun’s gaze turned dangerous, restraining his urge to question, spinning the keys on his fingertip, "Then don’t go home."

After a few seconds, the man didn’t leave, clearly intent on sticking with her.

Shen Qingqing felt an urge to explode.

"Do you understand human language or not?"

"No, can’t understand."

Annoyed, Shen Qingqing threw her canvas bag at Jiang Zhixun.

"If you harass me again, I’ll report to the police and accuse you of indecency!"

Jiang Zhixun raised an eyebrow, "Alright, the police station is not far, should we go now?"

Shen Qingqing was mostly surrounded by cultured scholars.

People like Jiang Zhixun, she truly hadn’t encountered before.

His aura was icy, with a look of "keep away" about him.

Yet in words and actions, he was so unruly.

With just one sentence, one action, he could easily provoke her anger.

Shen Qingqing glared at Jiang Zhixun, "Do you know that you’re very annoying? Just now I showed respect because of the elders, so I hope you understand and stop doing things that irritate people!"

Jiang Zhixun’s smug smile slowly faded.

His good mood vanished.

His fingers curled tightly, enclosing the keys in his palm.

He tugged at the corners of his mouth, "After not seeing each other for a good part of a year, do you have nothing else you want to say to me?"

"No."

Shen Qingqing answered briskly; her expression was cold and indifferent.

Though she appeared gentle, the coldness emanating from her bones still made Jiang Zhixun’s heart pitter-patter.

"Alright, nothing it is."

Jiang Zhixun discreetly exhaled, adjusting his mood to avoid angering Shen Qingqing.

He no longer confronted Zhou Hansheng.

He understood the situation; Qingqing wouldn’t stand by his side.

To avoid making things easier for a rival, not much but to restrain his emotions, was the only path open to him.

"Where are you and Doctor Zhou going, and when will you be back home? I’ll wait for you at home."

Shen Qingqing: "None of your business!"

Jiang Zhixun: "..."

Meanwhile, after the car drove far, Madam Jiang suddenly remembered something.

"Earlier, I forgot to tell Zhixun that Qingqing’s condition is amnesia, not what she mentioned before!"

The old man calmly replied, "Saying it or not makes no difference, Qingqing doesn’t intend to engage with him, I think Doctor Zhou has a bigger chance."

Madam Jiang wasn’t happy, "Why are you turning against him?"

The old man clicked his tongue, "When you brought Qingqing back, you said to treat her as part of the Jiang Family. I cherish my granddaughter, and yet you’re not pleased."

Madam Jiang: "..."
