After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?
Chapter 240: Stop Staring at Shen Qingqing

Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Stop Staring at Shen Qingqing

Shen Qingqing didn’t agree to register for a marriage certificate, but she didn’t refuse either, which was good news for Jiang Zhixun.

He still recalls the scene when Shen Qingqing kept him at a distance.

In comparison, he’s very happy now.

After dinner, Shen Qingqing wanted to return to her dorm at school; she had classes the next morning, and the elders knew better than to keep her.

They just let Jiang Zhixun see her off.

Madam Jiang: "Take the cake back with you and share it with colleagues, then save some for breakfast tomorrow."

More than half of the cake was left; if they didn’t eat it soon, it would surely go bad.

Shen Qingqing cut a piece, enough for her breakfast.

"You all eat the rest. In the building, I know too many people, all just nodding acquaintances, so I won’t give it to anyone."

Colleagues who had a good relationship with Shen Qingqing either got a place of their own or had spouses with housing and didn’t live in the single dorms.

You see others every day, but don’t have deep connections.

Often, people are really complicated.

A slice of cake isn’t rare, but it can become a trigger for conflict.

It’s easier not to give it to anyone and avoid lots of trouble.

Madam Jiang: "Then take it to the office as snacks for colleagues."

If it hadn’t been overnight, Shen Qingqing might have done just that.

She shook her head, "I’ll invite them to eat another time."

She could be responsible for herself if she ate the overnight cake and got sick.

But giving it to others makes her uncomfortable.

Madam Jiang: "Really won’t take it? Then I’ll share it with the kids in the courtyard. The old man and your dad don’t like it, and I can’t eat much alone. Keeping it would be a waste."

Shen Qingqing nodded, "Go ahead and share it."

The kids in the courtyard are mostly really cute.

When Jiang Zhixun was hospitalized before, they volunteered to look after him.

Except for a few troublemakers, Shen Qingqing had a good impression of the people here.

Like Qin Wenqiang.

They grew up together in the compound, now each has a job and life.

But whenever they need help, Qin Wenqiang is always there for them.

There are quite a few righteous people like him in the compound.

Jiang Zhixun came downstairs, holding a square box in his hand.

It’s large.

Very conspicuous.

It’s like trying to hide something while adding a coat to his arm despite the warmth, trying to cover the box.

Madam Jiang was extremely curious and wanted to ask if it was the birthday gift he prepared for Qingqing.

But afraid to spoil the surprise, she held back.

Jiang Zhixun headed straight for the door without turning back, "Aren’t you coming?"

Shen Qingqing thought to herself, this guy is really putting on an act.

He was clingy during the day, and now he’s acting all aloof.

Changing back and forth, is he a chameleon?

She coughed lightly, "Then I’m heading back to school now."

Madam Jiang winked and gestured towards Shen Qingqing’s back.

"Quick, or that boy will get anxious."

Jiang Zhixun put the box in the back seat.

His long arm casually rested on the passenger car door, waiting for Shen Qingqing to get in.

Teasing words floated into his ears, and Jiang Zhixun felt inexplicably delighted.

Everyone recognizing his relationship with Shen Qingqing really felt good, so good...

"Why are you dazing?"

Shen Qingqing was already seated in the passenger seat, but Jiang Zhixun was still holding the car door.

A smile at the corner of his mouth, as if bathed in spring breeze, with unknown thoughts.

The man suddenly leaned in and kissed her at the corner of her mouth.

"Honey, happy birthday."

Shen Qingqing’s face flushed instantly.

If she remembered correctly, it was Jiang Zhixun’s second time calling her honey.

It made her blush and her heart race more than being called wife.

He was obviously so aloof, yet somehow learned to say such intimate words.

She tugged at his handsome face, "Mr. Jiang, please be serious and stop being so slick."

"I say it from the heart."

Shen Qingqing is his treasure.

A treasure found again!

He pecked her on the corner of the mouth again, "Who’s got a problem with me kissing my own wife?"

Shen Qingqing was about to tug at Jiang Zhixun’s ear when she suddenly sensed a resentful gaze, dead set on her.

Full of malice, as if it could pierce a hole through her.

It was hard for Shen Qingqing not to notice.

She turned her head to see Yang Fen standing not far away, staring at them.

She clicked her tongue, "Let’s go, she’s annoying."

Jiang Zhixun also noticed Yang Fen, tossed her a glance, then stepped back to close the passenger door.

The car swiveled away and disappeared out of sight.

Yang Fen finally broke free from that sharp gaze, her heart pounding.

Because she was scared.

She knew Jiang Zhixun’s temper, and she knew she wouldn’t get a good face from him.

Mental preparations were made long ago, but the cold gaze sweeping over her still made her feel a chill down her spine.

She clutched her heart, muttering a curse, "Shameless!"

Kissing here by the door, who knows how excessive they are in private.

No wonder there was that thing at the hospital that day.

Sadly, even if she told, no one would believe her.

Not being able to catch Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun off guard made Yang Fen very frustrated.

But she couldn’t do anything.

Worried about accidentally messing up the marriage again.

Approaching thirty, she really couldn’t afford to delay.

If she didn’t marry soon, not only would the family nag her, but the gossip outside could drown her.

"Hey, aren’t you getting married? Why aren’t you at home organizing the wedding, standing here like a door god?"

Madam Jiang walked out of the courtyard, ready to call the kids to come and eat cake at home.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw Yang Fen.

Considering not long ago the young couple had just left the compound, it wasn’t hard to guess why Yang Fen was standing there with a sour face.

Madam Jiang spoke with a tone of melancholy, "People, if they lack self-awareness and always focus on others, their own life surely won’t go well."

Yang Fen forced a smile, "Auntie, I’m getting married, you should have received the invitation."

"Hmm."

"I’m not unwanted, I won’t pester Brother Zhixun, rest assured."

Madam Jiang wasn’t planning on saying much to her, but seeing her act pitiful, her anger flared.

"Didn’t you once pester him? Now acting all innocent?"

There was no mercy in her words, Yang Fen’s expression nearly fell apart.

She reiterated, "Auntie, I’m getting married."

"Then live your life well and stop obsessing over Zhixun and Qingqing. I didn’t bring up the past out of respect for your parents, but everyone’s patience has limits. If you direct misguided ideas toward them again, we’ll have a problem."

Coldly looking at Yang Fen, "Take care of yourself."

Madam Jiang left.

Yang Fen lashed out, kicking the ground, "What’s she acting high and mighty for, isn’t it just marrying into a good family?"

She spat in the direction Madam Jiang left, "Fawning over Shen Qingqing without shame!"

She cursed Shen Qingqing again, "Vixen!"

Who knows what kind of charm Shen Qingqing worked on the Jiang family to make them protect her like this.

Yang Fen’s eyes were full of resentment, whenever Shen Qingqing was around, nothing good happened.

She’s just a jinx!
