Yuan Shu glanced at the time and said, “It’s getting late. I think I should go and find Shi Bin personally to understand what’s going on.”
Jiang Chen said, “I’ll get someone to send you off.”
Yuan Shu said, “There’s no need. 1 have a chauffeur.”
With that, she picked up her handbag and prepared to leave.
Jiang Chen asked, “Are we still friends?”
Yuan Shu replied with a smile, “Of course we are. We always have been.” Yuan Shu paused for a moment before adding, “It’s just that I’m Shi Xiao’s wife now. Considering the relationship between our families, it’s better for us to keep our distance.”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but ask, “Now that you remember everything, aren’t you going to divorce him?”
Yuan Shu said calmly, “This is between us. If I wanted a divorce, I would have done so when he returned to the country.”
Jiang Chen was obviously very disappointed. The moment Yuan Shu pushed the door open and walked out, he asked, “Why can’t it be me?”
Yuan Shu heard this question, but she didn’t answer and left.
Jiang Chen had never thought of getting an answer to this question. He had just held it in for too long, so he wanted to ask. This was a question that would always be between the two of them, a question that could never be explained with words.
Yuan Shu let out a long sigh the moment she went out. She had already thought about divorcing Shi Xiao, but she didn’t want to give Jiang Chen false hope.
When Yuan Shu came out of the teahouse, she saw a row of cars parked at the door, blocking her way.
After the car in the lead stopped, Zhao Cheng got out of the driver’s seat and walked to the back to open the car door. Then, Shi Xiao stepped out and stood in front of Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu asked, “Why are you here?”
Shi Xiao replied with a smile, “I’m here to pick up my wife.”
Seeing this scene and the row of cars behind her, Yuan Shu complained inwardly. They didn’t look like they were here to pick her up. Instead, they looked like they were here to kidnap her.
However, Shi Xiao was surprised that Yuan Shu came out of the teahouse so quickly. He thought that Jiang Chen and Yuan Shu would talk for a long time.
Moreover, he was also mentally prepared. Regardless of whether Yuan Shu wanted to stay or if Jiang Chen was unwilling to let Yuan Shu leave, no matter what, he had to bring Yuan Shu back today. However, after he came to this place, he didn’t expect things to be so peaceful. He even appeared a little late. What was going on?
Yuan Shu glanced at the row of cars behind Shi Xiao and said, “Let them go back. I have something to discuss with you.”
Shi Xiao looked at Zhao Cheng, who gestured at the cars in the back row. Then, they left the teahouse in an orderly manner.
Yuan Shu couldn’t help but admire Shi Xiao’s ability to train his subordinates. If it were in ancient times, this ability would have made him a general.
Yuan Shu hadn’t eaten well these few days because she had things on her mind. It was dinner time, so she chose a good Chinese restaurant with spicy Hunan cuisine.
After Yuan Shu looked at the menu, she ordered a table full of dishes. There were stir-fried eggs with vinegar, stir-fried yellow beef, and duck palm tendons. None of the dishes weren’t spicy.
Shi Xiao couldn’t help but say, “I haven’t seen you eat spicy food since 1 came back, so I thought you liked bland food.”
After Yuan Shu handed the menu to Shi Xiao, he asked him to order. After Shi Xiao glanced at it, he asked the attendant to bring the menu away.
Yuan Shu replied, “I rarely eat spicy food because a light diet is better for my health. However, 1 suddenly want to try some other types of food.”
Yuan Shu actually liked spicy food very much, but that was her preference when she was in the military camp.
She didn’t like food that was too bland. It would make her feel that eating was a pain. When she was in the military camp, she liked to eat roasted meat. She would sprinkle chili cumin and pepper powder on the meat and enjoy it with wine. It was very satisfying.
However, the main reason Yuan Shu stopped eating spicy food was because the palace rules didn’t allow it.
Yuan Shu realized that she had been restrained by this rule for too long and it was rare for her to indulge herself like today..
