Marriage as a Game

Chapter 63 Look at the road, little fool
"Brother Jiang Han, our relationship has been exposed. There's no need for you to leave your big villa behind. Why don't you come to our civilian area and experience life here?"

Walking into the alley, Zhongli saw that no one was following him, so he started joking.

"I brought you gifts. If you don't want to talk, I'll give them to someone else."

The alley was wide enough and there were few people passing by at this time, so the three of them walked side by side.

Shang Jianghan walked in the middle of the three people, with Zhongli on his left and Shen Chaoxi on his right.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes! Don't be a fool!"

"is it?"

Shang Jianghan was pleased with her words and asked leisurely.

Shen Chaoxi felt that these two words, with an upturned ending tone, floated into her eardrums, as if asking her.

"Of course, everyone knows that our Third Young Master Shang is generous, and the gift is a fine product after all. I am looking forward to it!"

When Zhongli is happy, he doesn't mind watching the fun.

"Brother Jiang Han, Chao Xi also has a gift, right? He even hosted you for dinner. You can't be so heartless!"

Shen Chaoxi did not hide the fact that Shang Jianghan had dinner at home that night. Some things are more open and aboveboard when told than hidden.

"Don't make trouble, I don't want it." Shen Chaoxi quickly refused.

She was already certain in her heart that Shang Jianghan would bring her a gift, but among the three of them, she was just a bystander and she had to know how to position herself for success.

The three people had already walked to the gate of the community and swiped their check-in cards.

The pedestrian entrance is narrow and only one person can enter.

Zhongli walked in front, Shang Jianghan lagged behind slightly, stopped and waited on one side, looking at Shen Chaoxi beside him.

"You go first."

Shen Chaoxi lowered her head slightly and looked at the speed bump in front of her black leather boots. She nodded and took a few steps forward.

The rubber of the speed bump was about five centimeters high. Shen Chaoxi felt that his feet were lifted up, but he still tripped.

A hand grabbed her arm in time.

Shen Chaoxi stood firm and smelled a faint woody scent that seemed to drift into his nostrils.

"Watch the road, little fool!"

There was a hint of teasing in the deep voice.

Shen Chaoxi tilted her head and saw the faint smile in his black eyes.

"You are the little fool!"

The voice was sweet and charming, blending into the cold wind.

"It wasn't me who said that. It was her."

Two people came in one after another, and Shang Jianghan nodded at Zhongli.

Zhongli was confused and looked around at the two of them. He felt like they were playing some kind of riddle.

After entering the apartment building, everyone went back to their homes.

About half an hour later, my aunt finished cooking dinner, said a few words to Zhongli and Shen Chaoxi, and then went home.

Zhongli was answering a phone call from his agent, who said that a set of stills would be shot during the New Year's Day period.

Shen Chaoxi sent his aunt to the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Shang Jianghan walking towards me carrying two plastic bags.

The aunt left in a hurry and entered the elevator.

Shen Chaoxi withdrew his gaze and met Shang Jianghan's dark eyes.

"I thought we were in sync. You knew I came here specifically to open the door."

Shang Jianghan had changed into casual clothes, a white pullover, light grey casual trousers, and a pair of black cloth slippers.

He entered the house as if he knew the way.

Heat surged on Shen Chaoxi's cheeks, but he remained calm.

"Teacher Shang is really self-indulgent!"

Because I had informed you in advance, I made dinner for three people and had some left over.

Zhongli hung up the phone and the three of them sat down to eat.

The food was somewhat polarized, Shen Chaoxi and Zhongli preferred spicy food, while Shang Jianghan's dishes were lighter. Auntie catered to their tastes and also knew how to choose the right dish for each person.

After dinner, Shen Chaoxi took the dishes back to the kitchen and lingered there for a while until Zhongli called her for the second time.

"You don't need to clean it up. Auntie will clean it up tomorrow morning. Come and see our gifts."

At this time, Shang Jianghan was answering the phone on the balcony.

Shen Chaoxi walked over and took an exquisitely packaged box from Zhongli.

The box was made of golden wrapping paper tied with a pretty half bow and a pink and white ribbon, and it looked very expensive.

"Come on, is this for me?"

Shen Chaoxi handed over the gift box again.

"Of course, look, doesn't it say TO: CHAO XI SHEN?"

Sure enough, there was a purple sticky note on one side of the wrapping paper with his name written in English letters on it.

Shen Chaoxi subconsciously glanced towards the balcony.

The man was facing the balcony glass, his figure was straight, and he was wearing casual clothes, but he did not look casual, but rather noble.

She withdrew her gaze and opened the box at Zhongli's repeated urging.

Zhongli’s packaging box is purple, and inside is a K bracelet of the latest model of the season, made of metal, with a low-key yet luxurious glow.

"Ah! That's exactly what I want. My brother Jiang Han really understands me! Chao Xi knows this, right? This is a heavy-duty bracelet specially launched by K for Christmas this year. It will not be available until midnight on Christmas Eve, and only super V members of the store can get it!"

It was obvious that Zhongli was very satisfied with the gift. She put the bracelet on her hand and looked at it over and over again.

"Ah! I have to provoke my brother. He is my biological brother, but he doesn't understand his sister as well as someone who is not my biological brother. Just wait and see how I insult him!"

As Zhongli was talking, he took his phone and went into his room.

Only Shen Chaoxi was left in the living room, and the faint response from the man on the balcony.

After opening the wrapping paper, Shen Chaoxi looked at the pink and white velvet box. Seeing the same logo as Zhongli's, she was a little reluctant to open it.

The gift is a bit expensive.

"Why don't you open it and take a look?"

At some point, Shang Jianghan had finished his call and walked over to sit next to her.

"It's too valuable, I can't accept it."

Shen Chaoxi was telling the truth. Even if there was only a tiny earring inside, its value was something Shen Chaoxi could not afford right now.

She handed over the velvet box.

The pink and white velvet box rubbed the precious steel watch with the light blue film on the man’s left wrist and was placed in his hand.

"It's a thank you gift for cooking for me last time."

Talking about the last dinner, Shen Chaoxi's cheeks began to get hot again.

"A meal. Mr. Shang's gift is too expensive and not equal. I don't want to take advantage of you."

"You didn't even look at it, how do you know you got the upper hand?"

As Shang Jianghan was speaking, his slender fingers had already opened the velvet box.

The moment the velvet box was opened, Shen Chaoxi felt his eyes brighten.

She had just estimated in her mind that the gift inside could not be more expensive than Zhongli's bracelet.

But when looking at the golden ladies' watch lying quietly on the white short-haired mat, Shen Chaoxi's heart trembled.

She hasn't paid much attention to luxury goods recently, but she knows that the value of this watch is definitely not less than Zhongli's bracelet.

The gold bracelet, light pink case, crystal white bottom, gold hands, and diamond engraving design, there is no other watch like this in China.

"Then I can't take it back!" Shen Chaoxi moved back.

"Do you feel like you got an advantage?" Shang Jianghan asked.

Shen Chaoxi nodded. How many meals would it take to compare to this value?

"Do you like it? Is it beautiful?" Shang Jianghan changed the way of asking questions.

Girls all love beauty, and Shen Chaoxi is not a god.

　As a preview, the identity of the Zhong family’s uncle will be revealed later.
