Chapter 71 Hand Covering

Chen Shixuan's mother's unexpected return disrupted her plans to travel to Shanghai with Jiang Xun.

Her mother lives far away in Beijing, and sometimes she doesn't come back even once a year. Each time she does come back, it's only for two or three days.

Even if she really wanted to go with Jiang Xun, she couldn't possibly leave her mother, who had come all the way from the capital, behind.

What frustrated her even more was that her mother would arrive in Chicheng in about half an hour.

In other words, she and Jiang Xun only had half an hour to spend together.

Rolling in bed is out of the question; there simply isn't enough time. Jiang Xun thinks that even three times the time wouldn't be enough.

Most importantly, it's clear that Chen Shixuan wasn't actually prepared.

Although she is enthusiastic and outgoing, she is clearly not as open as she appears, or rather, she is actually very insecure.

For her to willingly give herself to someone, that person would have to be someone she's completely devoted to.

Jiang Xun may have already occupied a very important place in her heart, but it is clearly far from that level.

Of course, if it weren't for her mother's return from the capital, and the two of them were sharing a room tonight, Jiang Xun would have insisted, and she probably would have given in half-heartedly.

A young girl just beginning to experience love is no match for such an irresistible test.

However, doing so might result in Jiang Xun ending his single life prematurely and giving up the entire forest for it.

So even if Chen Shixuan is willing to give it, Jiang Xun has to think about it. He can't handle this girl when she gets wild.

……

A phone call made Chen Shixuan feel down, and she was even distracted while eating.

Jiang Xun was alright, although he was a little disappointed, but after all, he had lived two lives and was much more rational when it came to matters of the heart.

Perhaps if things don't develop so quickly, it won't be a bad thing for either of them.

Because in this life, he never intended to be a good man; his main goal was to be passive, never refuse, and never take responsibility.

Getting involved with a passionate girl like Chen Shixuan too early is definitely not a wise move.

At this moment, Chen Shixuan noticed Jiang Xun's lowered head and silent appearance, and thought he was a little unhappy, so she felt a tightness in her heart.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect my mom to come back so suddenly." She snuggled into Jiang Xun's arms and said in a soft, sweet voice.

"Why apologize to me? It's not your fault." Jiang Xun gently flicked her nose with his finger and chuckled.

Seeing the smile on his face, Chen Shixuan finally felt relieved.

After they left the private room, Jiang Xun went to pay the bill, only to find out that Chen Shixuan had already paid. She said that Jiang Xun would also have to spend money in Shanghai, and told him to be frugal.

"You know, the novel I wrote before has already made a lot of money." Jiang Xun led Chen Shixuan along a small river, chatting casually.

"I know, I'm reading it too. You're amazing, how can you write a book with such a vast worldview?" Chen Shixuan leaned against Jiang Xun, her face full of admiration.

“This kind of book is easy to write, too easy to write. Anyone can do it,” Jiang Xun said with a smile.

"Have you earned enough for ten million yet?" Chen Shixuan chuckled. "If you have, don't forget what you said."

Jiang Xun glanced at her, raised an eyebrow, and said, "What, you really want to be my concubine?" Surprisingly, Chen Shixuan didn't refute him, but instead sighed and said softly:

"Actually, I'm quite afraid of getting married. I think marriage is really terrifying."

"No matter how much love you have before marriage, all sorts of arguments and conflicts will occur after marriage, tormenting both of you and making you unrecognizable from your former selves."

Jiang Xun looked at her with some surprise, not understanding why a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl would have such thoughts.

However, considering her family situation, it's not surprising.

It's mostly because her mother instilled these ideas in her from a young age, and she was used to her parents arguing frequently, which made her fear marriage.

To be honest, Jiang Xun also thought so. Marriage is not just the grave of love, it's practically the grave of all humanity.

Without marriage, humans would live incredibly free and happy lives.

Of course, this is just his personal opinion. In reality, marriage has its inevitable factors, which no one can change.

At this moment, Chen Shixuan seemed unwilling to continue discussing this heavy topic, and she suddenly asked shyly:

Are your hands cold right now? Do you want me to warm them up for you?

Jiang Xun paused for a moment, his gaze unconsciously falling on a certain spot.

Just then, they arrived at a relatively secluded place, with no one around. They leaned against the river railing, embracing each other.

Before Jiang Xun could reply, Chen Shixuan took his hands and put them inside her clothes.

They walked back to the hotel. Chen Shixuan took her things downstairs, and Jiang Xun, seeing her reluctance to leave, escorted her downstairs again.

After going downstairs, Jiang Xun watched Chen Shixuan walk to the roadside and saw a black sedan waiting there.

Upon seeing Chen Shixuan, a stylish and still charming middle-aged woman got out of the passenger seat.

Chen Shixuan's mother is certainly not bad-looking either. She gave birth to Chen Shixuan when she was in her early twenties, and she is only thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old now.

"Mom!" Chen Shixuan smiled and stepped forward to hug the woman.

"My darling!" he exclaimed excitedly, kissing her cheek repeatedly.

At this moment, a middle-aged man who was close to fifty years old got out of the driver's seat. He didn't look particularly good, but he had an extraordinary demeanor.

He helped Chen Shixuan put her things in the trunk, and drove away after Chen Shixuan and her daughter got into the car.

After they left, Jiang Xun returned to his hotel room. At that moment, a message popped up on his phone—

Chen Shih-hsuan: [Although I'm afraid of marriage, I'm willing to give it a try if it's you.]

Jiang Xun: [Honey, we don't necessarily have to get married. I'll always be with you.]

Chen Shih-hsuan: [Would I be the concubine? Is Yang Kaiyi the first wife?]

Jiang Xun: [I didn't say it was her]

Chen Shixuan: [Hmph! There's someone else?]
