309 chapter 309: regretful for meeting too early

When Shi Yan woke up, she felt that the spot beside her had turned cold. She knew that she had woken up late again.

She realized that ever since she got together with Jiang che, her routine in life was often broken.

Oh, it didn’t seem to be Jiang Che’s fault this time. She was the one who had drunk too much again.

What happened after he got drunk last night suddenly flooded his mind.

shi yan was stunned. then, her ears turned red and she buried her face in the pillow.

She really didn’t want to admit that she was the one who had been drunk and made a stupid mistake in the clubhouse corridor last night.

after a few minutes, she flipped the blanket over and got up.

she pulled open the curtains and folded the blanket before she went to wash up.

after washing up and changing her clothes, she habitually went downstairs. perhaps she was still a little groggy from the hangover and had completely forgotten that jiang che had a guest to entertain this morning.

hence, when she saw the person sitting in the living room halfway down the stairs, shi yan was stunned.

he looked at his own outfit.

it was still decent and not impolite in front of the guests, so he heaved a sigh of relief.

Jiang che saw her the moment she showed up.

He raised his eyes and looked at her.

When his eyes met hers, they were as gentle as water.

When Xie Heng saw this, he also realized something and followed Jiang Che’s line of sight.

On the stairs, the girl was dressed in a long white dress with a red knitted cardigan. The buttons of the knitted cardigan were buttoned up, and her black hair was let down.

There was no makeup on her simple and elegant face, making her look quiet and gentle.

Jiang che ignored Xie Heng and said to him, ” “i’ll excuse myself first.”

He got up and walked towards Shi Yan.

Shi Yan saw him coming and also came downstairs.

you’re awake? ” Jiang che took her hand. you’re awake? ”

“yes.”

Jiang che raised his hand that wasn’t holding her and tucked her loose hair behind her ear. He gently caressed her face, ” “Do you have a headache?”

“A little.” The truth.

“Miss Shi, do you still dare to drink so much next time?” Jiang che asked helplessly.

“you clearly promised me last night that you would drink less, but in the end, ms. shi, you almost became a drunkard.”

shi yan knew she was in the wrong, so she didn’t say anything, her eyes wandering.

jiang che couldn’t help but laugh when he saw her pretending to be confused and trying to get away with it.

” the porridge is warm in the kitchen. i’ll bring it to the dining room for you. i’ll make you a cup of honey water first. ”

As he spoke, he was about to lead her to the dining room.

He did not deliberately declare his sovereignty in front of his love rival. All his actions were natural, and it was not difficult to see that they usually got along like this.

“no rush.” shi yan said.

“since we have guests, we should go over and greet them first.”

it would be impolite to eat without saying a word when a guest came.

Naturally, Shi Yan knew the basics of how to treat a guest.

Not to mention, she knew the guest.

jiang che was silent. he glanced at xie heng, who was sitting on the sofa and looking at them expressionlessly.

if xie heng did not have any feelings for miss shi, then it was nothing; If Xie Heng had feelings for miss Shi, he would probably be a little hurt at this time.

he was actually not sure if xie heng was interested in miss shi.

people like him and xie heng could hide their emotions well as long as they didn’t want to. they would never let others find out their true thoughts.

jiang che wasn’t a sympathetic person, and he wouldn’t show any sympathy to people who were likely to be his love rival.

shi yan had taken the initiative to say hello, so of course, he would not stop her.

he held her hand and led her to the living room.

“thank you, patriarch.” shi yan greeted him with a smile.

I didn’t know that the guest Jiang che was going to receive was family head Xie. It’s rude of me to only come down now to greet you.

shi yan wasn’t a person with low emotional intelligence. the reason why she said this was entirely because she didn’t know that xie heng had feelings for her.

in her view, xie heng was someone she had some entanglements with but was not very familiar with.

the shi family and the xie family were long-time friends. even if xie heng came to visit jiang che and not her, it was indeed a little rude for her to sleep in until now and only come downstairs to greet him.

xie heng’s eyes swept over the two people holding hands and then fell on shi yan’s face.

the hand holding the teacup tightened and loosened.

“Miss Shi Yan, you’re too kind.” He put down the teacup and stood up.

he drank a lot last night. I’m taking her out to eat something. Please excuse me.

Shi Yan glared at Jiang che as he spoke.

Why did he mention her drinking? he didn’t even know how to save her face in front of the guests!

Jiang che was amused by her cute look. He pinched her fingertips and said, ” “Let’s go, Ms. Shi. Let’s get something to eat.”

shi yan kept her cheeky expression in front of jiang che and smiled politely at xie heng.”I’ll excuse myself first.”

Xie Heng’s thoughts were stuck in the interaction between the two and he didn’t come back to his senses for a long time. By the time he reacted and was about to respond, the two had already walked far in the direction of the restaurant.

xie heng stood quietly for a long time before sitting down.

meanwhile, in the restaurant.

After Jiang che brought the porridge to Shi Yan, he went to the kitchen to make a cup of honey water. He took a sip as if to test the temperature. Then, he said something to Shi Yan and brought the cup to her lips to feed her.

shi yan seemed to be used to it and drank a cup of honey water.

After drinking it, Jiang che seemed to say something again and then lowered his head to kiss her.

After kissing for a while, Jiang che brought the cup back to the kitchen. Shi Yan sat at the dining table and ate her porridge.

jiang che walked to her side, peeled an egg, and handed it to her. he leaned over and whispered something into her ear, then kissed her on the cheek. he took a tissue and wiped his hands clean before walking out of the dining room.

Xie Heng saw all of this.

He couldn’t tell what he was feeling.

He only felt endless regret spreading in his heart.

if he had not agreed to the marriage with the shi family when the elders mentioned it, would she not have been forced to leave?

if she had not been forced to leave home, would the person she had met have been him and not jiang che?

It should be.

the shi family and the jiang family didn’t have much interaction, but the shi family and the xie family had been friends for generations. When he was young, he had a close relationship with the eldest young master of the Shi family and often walked around.

He had far more opportunities to come into contact with her than Jiang che.

He knew what kind of person he was. If he had not fallen in love with the Shi family’s eldest daughter at first sight, he would never have agreed to the marriage when the elders mentioned it.

If he hadn’t nodded, there wouldn’t have been such a thing.

most people’s regrets were that they met too late; and his regret was that he had met him too early.

it would have been better if he had met her later.

He wasn’t a good person, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to sit firmly in the position of the head of the Xie family.

if jiang che had treated her badly in the slightest, or if she had disliked jiang che in the slightest, he would not have just stood by and watched.

Jiang che was very good to her. This could not be faked, and the Jiang fifth Lord disdained to pretend.

And it was clear that she liked Jiang che from the bottom of her heart.

jiang che walked towards the living room and saw that xie heng still had that cold and expressionless look. one couldn’t tell from his appearance.

“I’m sorry,” he said as he retracted his gaze.

she walked over and sat down, pouring a cup of tea for xie heng.

xie heng thanked him and picked up the tea but did not drink it.

after a few seconds of silence, he looked at shi yan, who was eating porridge in the kitchen, and said emotionlessly, ” “back then, the shi family and the xie family almost had an arranged marriage. the eldest daughter of the shi family and i almost became fiancée. does fifth master jiang know about this?”
