Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002: What a Coincidence (6)

"Huh? Didn’t you say you were picking someone up?" Shu Jiao finally noticed Jiang Bin following behind them.

"Didn’t manage to pick them up, maybe the schedule changed." Jiang Bin said casually, but his gaze fell on Shu Wen. Shu Wen frowned slightly and turned her eyes away.

"By the way, I don’t need to introduce you all, right? It seems like you two were schoolmates back in the day. Xiaowen, didn’t you ask Xiaojiang to take something to Jiaojiao for you before?" Shu Jiao said.

Shu Wen gave a vague nod, then held Ruan Jiaojiao’s little hand tightly and said, "Come on, let’s go already. It’s freezing, hurry up. I’m starving."

With that, she entered the station, pulling Ruan Jiaojiao along with quick strides, as though avoiding some plague.

Ruan Jiaojiao tilted her head, looking at her curiously. Behind them, Shu Jiao also squinted her eyes suspiciously.

Although Shu Wen was the youngest in the Shu Family and grew up doted upon, her personality wasn’t spoiled or bratty. Instead, she was always rather poised and composed. But today, she seemed unusually rude.

What was even stranger was Jiang Bin, who hastily nodded in agreement upon hearing her words, chiming in: "It is pretty cold. Let’s go hurry back and eat something." While saying this, his gaze never left Shu Wen.

"..." This was clearly not normal!

Ruan Jiaojiao’s gossip radar went off like wildfire!

Was Jiang Bin actually here to pick up her aunt, Shu Wen?

Ruan Jiaojiao felt she’d uncovered the truth. She was bursting with excitement, wanting to stir things up, but Shu Wen gave her no chance. Practically dragging her out of Beidu Station, she rushed onto the car.

Jiang Bin followed them the entire way, and at some point even took over the suitcase Shu Jiao had been carrying, escorting them all the way to the door. Before they got on the car, he even helped them with their luggage.

But other than those actions, he didn’t dare do anything else. He just stood on the steps, watching the car leave with a reluctant expression.

Inside the car.

The atmosphere was unnervingly odd.

Ruan Jiaojiao glanced at Shu Wen, then outside at Jiang Bin, who was standing straight in the biting cold wind, shivering as he failed to garner even a fleeting look from her aunt. She couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for the man.

Even as the Shu Family’s car drove off, Shu Wen never once looked out the window.

Meanwhile, Shu Jiao, seated up front, also witnessed the entire scene, her eyes glinting thoughtfully.

After the car had started moving, she finally broke the silence and asked, "Xiaowen, you and Jiang Bin..."

"We had a thing once, but broke up mid-year. We’re nothing now." Shu Wen didn’t intend to keep it a secret. Before Shu Jiao could even finish her question, she answered frankly.

"!!!" Ruan Jiaojiao.

So she was right!

Wait, her aunt and Jiang Bin?

Ruan Jiaojiao blinked. In her previous life, Jiang Bin had never married, and her aunt Shu Wen had passed away young. Could Jiang Bin’s unwillingness to marry be because he’d never met his destined one—her aunt?

She was dying of curiosity and couldn’t help clinging to Shu Wen’s arm to ask, "Auntie, why did you guys break up?"

"Oh, Jiaojiao knows what ’break up’ means now? Does that mean you have a little sweetheart at school?" Shu Wen didn’t answer but instead teased her playfully.

Ruan Jiaojiao grinned without an ounce of embarrassment, "Nope, Jiaojiao’s waiting till she’s an adult to have a boyfriend. I’m too young now, no dating yet."

"Hahaha, talking about boyfriends at such a young age—aren’t you shameless!" Shu Wen was utterly tickled by her, laughing uncontrollably.

Ruan Jiaojiao rubbed her sore little cheeks after being pinched. She hadn’t said anything wrong; she really intended to wait until adulthood for relationships! How was that embarrassing? It was perfectly normal.
