Chapter 118: Jealous

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

They all felt that Qu Xiao was worth it. They all recognized Qu Xiao’s status and identity in the Shang family, right?

When Shang Liqing saw Qu Xiao, she thought of Grandfather Shang and Shang Xinchen reprimanding her, and her desire for revenge grew stronger.

She deliberately pulled Wen Wan’s wrist and pushed Wen Wan to Shang Yan’s side.

Wen Wan lost her balance and fell onto Shang Yan’s lap. After all, she was an outsider, so Shang Yan could not stand up to distance himself from her. He could only say unhappily, “Shang Liqing! What are you trying to do?”

Shang Xinchen quickly helped Wen Wan out of the predicament and helped her up.

Qu Xiao’s expression did not change at all. Her lips curled up demurely, and her eyes smiled. “You are a friend of Liqing, right? I seem to have seen you at the charity banquet before. The tiles in the living room are slippery, be careful not to fall.”

“Since you’re here as a guest, why don’t you stay for dinner?”

“Liqing’s friend is also our younger sister, don’t stand on ceremony with us.”

Qu Xiao’s magnanimous way of handling things saved the Shang family’s face and gave Wen Wan a way out. Grandfather Shang nodded in satisfaction and looked at her with gratified eyes. It seemed that Shang Xinchen was right. The Qu family’s girl was indeed different from before.

“I passed by the supermarket and bought a lot of dishes that Shang Yan likes. There’s also boiled beef that Grandfather likes. What do you want to eat?”

“Something lighter, or something with a stronger taste?”

Qu Xiao looked down at the ingredients in the plastic bag and spoke somewhat nonchalantly, “Actually, everyone’s taste is different. They may not be able to eat what they like for a long time. If they are overly obsessed, they may hurt their bodies…”

“Miss Wen Wan seems to like spicy food, but being addicted to spicy food is not good for your skin. Why don’t you change your taste?”

How could Wen Wan not understand Qu Xiao’s hint of advice?

Wen Wan hurriedly found an excuse to leave. The butler and nanny also carried Qu Xiao’s shopping bags to the kitchen and busied themselves with preparing dinner.

Qu Xiao sat beside Shang Yan and answered Grandfather Shang’s questions with a calm expression.

But Shang Yan noticed the displeasure in her eyes and wanted to coax Qu Xiao.

He wanted to interlock his fingers with Qu Xiao’s. But the moment his fingers touched hers, Qu Xiao pulled her hand back abruptly.

She was angry! Was she jealous?

Shang Yan could not help but laugh and shake his head helplessly.

Grandfather Shang noticed the subtle movements of the couple and recalled the days when he was younger. His eyes were fixed on the family portrait placed on the dining cabinet. His gaze was filled with nostalgia, and he also became gentle and loving. “Shang Yan told me everything.”

“I thank you for helping him achieve this medical miracle, allowing him to completely walk out of his trauma and become more open.”

Grandfather Shang took the initiative to raise his glass, and Qu Xiao hurriedly clinked it with his. She respectfully turned her body to the side and took a sip of white wine.

“Shang Yan is busy with work. If you have time, come over more often. You can drink tea and play chess with me.”

“I’m getting old. I hope that it will be more lively around me. With you juniors accompanying me, I won’t be so lonely.”

Grandfather Shang raised the suggestions. Qu Xiao understood what he meant, but she was so stunned that she forgot to answer until Shang Yan gently pushed her leg under the table.

Qu Xiao nodded in a panic. “I will definitely come to see you often! As long as you don’t mind.”

Shang Xinchen curled the corners of his lips and teased, “Second Sister-in-law, Grandfather can’t wait to have you come every day so that you can massage his shoulders and legs. You have to be mentally prepared!” Grandfather Shang gave Shang Xinchen a fierce look and pretended to be angry as he said, “Am I like that?”

The atmosphere at the dining table was warm and cheerful. Only Shang Liqing buried her head as she ate, trying to block out all the sounds.

After dinner, Qu Xiao helped Grandfather Shang with acupuncture and massage for half an hour and followed Shang Yan out of the old residence.

Shang Yan wanted to chat with Qu Xiao while in the car heading to the villa, but Qu Xiao remained silent as she looked out of the car window and refused to answer.

“You’re still angry?”

Shang Yan’s question was like a fuse that lit a bomb. The anger in Qu Xiao’s eyes deepened.

In the villa’s bedroom, Qu Xiao slammed the door. Shang Yan who followed closely behind her, almost had the door slammed on his nose.

He hugged Qu Xiao tightly from behind and buried his head in her neck as he explained in a muffled voice, “I had no idea that Liqing would call Wen Wan over. I rejected her very directly. After all, the two families are family friends. There’s no way to make the relationship too stiff.”

“My wife, can you forgive me?”

Shang Yan imitated Qu Xiao’s usual demeanor and acted coquettishly towards her.

Qu Xiao’s body suddenly stopped. She clenched her teeth and turned around to stare at the man who was a head taller than her. “I won’t be jealous, but you must make up for it and pay the price!” After saying that, she pushed Shang Yan’s chest, causing him to step back until he fell back and sat on the bed.

Shang Yan sensed her intention. He raised his eyebrows and held Qu Xiao’s waist with anticipation.

“I’m happy to use my body to make up for it!”

Qu Xiao’s eyes glinted mischievously. She rubbed Shang Yan’s earlobe with her hand. “Is that so? I hope you don’t regret it!”

Her cold little hand covered Shang Yan’s eyes. He raised his head and waited for Qu Xiao’s kiss, but he didn’t expect to receive something else.
