To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!
Chapter 26 Rejection and Disappointment
"Qingyi, what are you thinking about? You look so lovestruck. Are you thinking about your live-in partner?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingyi's cheeks suddenly turned bright red: "Are you kidding me? Who's getting all lovey-dovey? You'd better go home right now, I need to rest!"
Xia Caiwei clicked her tongue: "Go, go, go, I'll leave right away, I won't disturb your time together."
"But Qingyi, when are you planning to officially start a relationship with him? My aunt called again to ask about things here!"
Luo Qingyi seemed to have thought of something: "What do you mean by 'defining a relationship'? We haven't reached that stage yet, don't overthink it!"
Xia Caiwei said, "Huh? It hasn't been announced yet. Is he impotent? With such a beautiful woman like you right here, how could he not be tempted?"
Luo Qingyi's cheeks flushed slightly: "It takes time, and he's not that kind of person!"
Xia Caiwei said, "Then you'd better hurry up. Aren't you going back to your hometown next month to celebrate your aunt's birthday? Your aunt said you shouldn't go back if you don't have a boyfriend!"
Luo Qingyi lowered her head and remained silent.
Xia Caiwei said, "If all else fails, you can have him pretend to be your boyfriend!"
Luo Qingyi was taken aback, then seemed to be deep in thought.
Just then, the door opened and Jiang Jinhuan walked in.
Upon seeing Luo Qingyi and Xia Caiwei, they quickly greeted them, "Sister Qingyi, Sister Caiwei!"
Xia Caiwei said, "Oh, handsome boy, you're back! I missed you so much! It's been so long since I've seen you! Did you miss me too?"
Jiang Jinhuan's cheeks flushed red upon hearing this.
Xia Caiwei's eyes lit up even more when she saw Jiang Jinhuan's appearance. "This looks so fun!"
Luo Qingyi, who was standing next to her, pinched her in an annoyed manner.
She let out a soft cry and rolled her eyes at Luo Qingyi in dissatisfaction.
Seeing Luo Qingyi's angry gaze, she quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll leave, alright?"
As Xia Caiwei got up and passed by Jiang Jinhuan, she couldn't resist teasing him, asking, "When are you planning to officially announce our relationship with Qingyi?"
Jiang Jinhuan was taken aback upon hearing this, and quickly said, "I didn't mean that! Qingyi and I aren't in that kind of relationship!"
His relationship with the Song family is still ambiguous, and he doesn't think Luo Qingyi would be interested in him.
She was indeed very good to him, but the more she treated him, the less he dared to take that step.
He is insecure and sensitive; he knows his shortcomings, but he really doesn't have the courage right now!
Xia Caiwei was stunned for a moment.
Luo Qingyi also quieted down.
Xia Caiwei clicked her tongue. "Just kidding, why are you so nervous?"
Jiang Jinhuan said seriously, "Sister Caiwei, this concerns Sister Qingyi's reputation, so we must be careful. I really have no intention of coveting Sister Qingyi."
The room fell silent after those words.
Luo Qingyi clenched her fists tightly, a hint of bitterness in her eyes.
Xia Caiwei frowned, looking at Jiang Jinhuan, who had a serious expression, with a hint of speechlessness.
She was surprised to find that this guy was really serious about it.
In other words, this guy really didn't have feelings for his best friend!
"You're driving me crazy! Fine, figure it out yourself, I'm leaving!" Xia Caiwei glared at Jiang Jinhuan speechlessly before getting up and leaving.
Luo Qingyi looked somewhat lost, her smile forced. "Come in quickly, I'll go cook!"
Jiang Jin Huan quickly said, "Sister Qing Yi, let me cook!"
Jiang Jinhuan got up and went into the kitchen.
Looking at Jiang Jinhuan's retreating figure, Luo Qingyi's eyes showed a hint of melancholy.
She sat back on the sofa, looking somewhat dazed, and couldn't even concentrate on reading the documents.
The meal was eaten quietly; both were preoccupied with their own thoughts and neither said much.
……
Wang Shihhan then returned home.
She seems to have something on her mind.
Director Wang looked at his daughter who had just returned and asked, "Why are you so late today?"
Wang Shihhan said somewhat dejectedly, "Dad, I only found out today that Jiang Jinhuan in our grade is actually Jiang Jinhuan from the Jiang family!"
Director Wang was taken aback. "You mean the one that's part-time while studying?"
"That's right, it's him. He works at Xingyao now. Did you know that he's only been at Xingyao for a few days and he's already a project manager?"
She then told her father everything she had heard from Song Qingci.
Director Wang was shocked upon hearing this: "Two proposals? Directly using previous projects, such a bold idea is unheard of. How did he come up with the idea of investigating files from three years ago? This guy is simply a prodigy."
Director Wang got up and paced back and forth. "If only such a talented person were the heir of the Jiang family, how wonderful it would be! Why did it have to be that good-for-nothing Jiang Zhe?"
"Hmph, Jiang Guodong, Jiang Guodong, you've been so wise all your life, yet you made such a foolish mistake here!"
After Director Wang finished speaking, he noticed that his daughter hadn't said a word.
He turned his head to look.
I found my daughter staring blankly into space.
"Shihan? What's wrong? You seem distracted?"
Wang Shihhan, regaining her composure, asked, "Dad, is he really going to arrange a marriage with the Song family?"
Director Wang was taken aback; so that's where the problem lay.
It seems my daughter has really taken a liking to the second son of the Jiang family.
Director Wang walked up to his daughter and asked, "Shihan, do you really like that boy?"
Wang Shihhan twisted her fingers together and remained silent.
Director Wang said, "Actually, this matter is not yet settled. If the Song family and the Jiang family really do get married, I can't possibly not know about it."
The Song family hasn't said anything or announced any news about the marriage alliance, and the Jiang family has only mentioned it briefly at first.
However, the matter was never mentioned again, so there might be a change in circumstances, and the Song family might not be interested in Jiang Jinhuan!
"Why? Jiang Jin Huan is clearly so outstanding!"
Director Wang said, "Because he's not favored in the Jiang family. Although he's called a son of the Jiang family, he's actually treated worse than an illegitimate child. The Song family probably wouldn't even look at someone like him!"
Wang Shihhan's eyes lit up, but then, as if remembering something, they dimmed again: "I saw Song Qingci today, and she didn't seem to have any ill feelings towards Jiang Jinhuan!"
"What? You met President Song? My dear, you've really made something of yourself! If you can cultivate a good relationship with the Song family, your position in the Jiang family will be secure!"
Wang Shih-han rolled her eyes, looking charming and adorable.
She stood up and walked briskly upstairs to the second floor: "Indeed, the Song family definitely wouldn't approve of Jin Huan; that marriage alliance is doomed to fail sooner or later!"
……
The next day, at Luo Qingyi's residence.
Jiang Jinhuan prepared breakfast for Luo Qingyi.
Luo Qingyi woke up too. She washed her face, and hearing the commotion outside, a smile returned to her lips. "It's alright, no rush, take your time!"
She made her smile more natural, then walked out of the house.
Seeing Luo Qingyi walk out of the bedroom, Jiang Jinhuan said, "Sister Qingyi, I've been quite busy with work these past two days, so I won't be coming back for lunch."
"Qingyi, you don't need to bring me lunch anymore!"
Luo Qingyi's smile gradually faded, her hands clenched tightly. "Okay, okay, I understand!"
By the time Jiang Jinhuan finished breakfast and packed his things, Luo Qingyi had already left.
She seemed to have left a little early today.
