Chapter 651: Chapter 651: Who Do You Really Like (3 more)

Jin Ruiyang, enthusiastically not tired of serving dishes to Xu Sisi, had just toasted everyone and was actually feeling somewhat tipsy.

Xu Sisi, enduring stomach pain, kept eating.

The more she ate, the more ferocious her expression became.

Just when Jin Ruiyang served her the bright red spicy chicken again, Xu Sisi couldn’t bear it any longer and with a "smack", she hit her chopsticks on the table.

Everyone at the table turned to look at Xu Sisi.

"Sisi, what’s wrong?" Xu Niannian asked in confusion, even Xiao Bao, who was drinking his formula, twisted his little face to look at her.

Xu Sisi’s embarrassment flashed for a moment; the pain in her stomach was too much, yet she still had to maintain a facade of calm, struggling to pull out a smile.

"Um... everyone please continue eating, I need to go to the bathroom."

After speaking, Xu Sisi got up nimbly, trying not to look too embarrassed, she straightened her back and walked over with big strides without daring to run directly.

Xu Sisi’s walking pace gradually quickened, damn it, her stomach hurt too much.

As soon as she reached the corner corridor, Xu Sisi’s calm pace disappeared instantly as she dashed like a wild horse, racing into the restaurant’s bathroom.

Xu Sisi’s actions left Jin Ruiyang stunned for a moment.

Recalling the reluctant expression on her face when he first served her a dish, the joy in his eyes gradually disappeared, yet his lips pulled into a serene smile.

He stood up, "I’ll go check on her..."

No one held him back, and then Jin Ruiyang left.

After he was gone, Ye Shaoting, with a thoughtful look, asked Jin Yu, "What’s going on?"

He wasn’t close with Xu Sisi, but he was quite familiar with Jin Ruiyang, and seeing his expression, it was clear something was up, stirring up Ye Shaoting’s curiosity for gossip.

"Eat your food, why are you so nosy as a grown man?" Jin Yu lifted his drinking glass and clinked it with Ye Shaoting’s.

If it’s said that Jin Yu and Ye Shaoting knew Jin Ruiyang well, then Xu Niannian understood Xu Sisi just as much.

Thinking of Xu Sisi’s frantic departure, Xu Niannian couldn’t help but laugh.

She guessed that Sisi probably had an urgent need but was too embarrassed to mention it, but Jin Ruiyang clearly misunderstood.

Meanwhile, Xu Sisi who dashed into the bathroom, after finally taking care of her pressing issue, hadn’t even left the stall when she overheard some girls crying outside.

The voice was pretty familiar to Xu Sisi; earlier during the toast, it belonged to a girl in white clothing.

Because of her standout looks and unique voice, Xu Sisi had a strong impression of her.

Moreover, during the toast, Xu Sisi noticed the girl with a look of pity eyeing Brother Ruiyang.

Just as Xu Sisi was about to leave, she heard the crying woman outside mentioning Jin Ruiyang’s name.

She couldn’t help but stop in her tracks, hiding in the stall to eavesdrop.

"How could Ruiyang just get engaged like that!" said the woman’s coquettish voice.

Xu Sisi subconsciously pursed her lips, thinking to herself spitefully, why couldn’t Brother Ruiyang get engaged, or else he’d be an old bachelor.

Ah, no, that’s not right, pah!

How could she speak of Brother Ruiyang that way.

Another woman tried to comfort the previous speaker, but she too sounded distressed.

"Yeah, how could he get engaged so suddenly? Sigh, don’t be too sad, the other person is Elder Xu’s granddaughter, we haven’t lost out."

"But it still feels upsetting inside!" the coquettish-voiced woman covered her heart, her face full of longing.

"You say, with a man as outstanding as Ruiyang, why did I choose to play hard to get back then? If I hadn’t been deliberately coy, maybe today I would be the one getting engaged to Ruiyang."

Wow, that was major news.

Xu Sisi held her breath and continued to eavesdrop.

"You’re taking things too far," said the other woman. "Ruiyang is not that kind of man. If I were more proactive towards Ruiyang back then, maybe I’d be the one getting engaged to him today."

"What do you mean? Qiuqiu, Ruiyang doesn’t like someone like you."

The two women outside seemed to be edging towards an argument.

Xu Sisi clenched her face, pressed her ear to the door, and listened intently.

The woman called Qiuqiu by the coquettish voice was not happy.

"What do you mean by not someone like me, do you think you know Ruiyang that well? I’m telling you, the first time I went to the Jin Family with my grandfather, Ruiyang even gave me a flower, he said I was prettier than the flowers, delicate in appearance, and also said, ’Flowers for the beautiful lady.’ You don’t know how gentle Ruiyang was to me back then."

Miss Qiuqiu, towards the end of her speech, seemed to be self-indulgent.

"It’s a shame that I was too shy because it was my first time meeting Ruiyang, and after accepting the flower, I hardly talked to him, all occupied with shyness. He gave me a flower; could he not have had feelings for me? Surely, he gave up because I didn’t talk to him, thinking I didn’t like him."

Giving flowers?

Xu Sisi in the stall was stunned, Brother Ruiyang seemed to have also given her flowers.

Before she had time to feel sentimental, the coquettish-voiced woman outside sounded even more shocked than Xu Sisi: "You’re saying Ruiyang gave you flowers? I don’t believe it!"

"Ah, why don’t you believe me? That was so long ago, and now I’m even married, I’m just reflecting on what could have been, not like you who still has designs on Ruiyang."

The coquettish-voiced woman didn’t get angry but was just extremely shocked.

She shook her head: "It’s impossible, at that time, Ruiyang should’ve liked me."
