love out of time

Chapter 144

"I had a quarrel with my family, and I went out to relax. There is a painter I like very much at this auction. I asked a friend for an invitation and sneaked in. I really didn't expect to see your painting in the special auction. I was looking for it at the beginning of the reception. you."

Jiang Ci smiled and said, "I've been in the lounge before—let's find a quiet place to talk."

Jiang Ci took the dinner plate and led Xu Jinhuan to the lounge.

Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but observe all the way.Her long hair is tied into a bun, her skin is a little darker, she is no longer as pale as paper, with a sickly look like three years ago; the big red dress that just reaches her knees, the color is flamboyant but not gaudy, it makes her look like a girl Bulgarian roses—she would never have associated roses with ginger before.

When we arrived at the lounge, Jiang Ci was about to ask Xu Jinhuan to sit down, when he saw the biscuit bag was still thrown on the sofa, he immediately picked it up and threw it into the trash can, "Um...please sit down."

Xu Jinhuan couldn't help laughing, "Don't be cautious, we are also reunited, right?"

Jiang Ci smiled and nodded, "I just got off the plane in the morning, I didn't expect to meet acquaintances on the first day."

"Where did you fly back from?"

"U.K."

Xu Jinhuan glanced at her and didn't say anything, "The painting is pretty good, if I'm not penniless now, I'd like to support you."

Jiang Ci smiled, "Don't be fooled by this, there are better ones, if you like it, I'll give it to you for free later."

Xu Jinhuan didn't speak for a while, and after a moment of silence, he still asked, "Have you been staying in England for the past three years?"

"I went two years ago. At that time, there happened to be a place for advanced studies, and sister Xizi—that is, the owner of the gallery—give it to me."

"You came to the imperial capital after you left Chongcheng?"

"No, I stayed in Dali for almost a year before."

Xu Jinhuan was still looking at her, never expecting to see such a calm and calm Jiang Ci in his lifetime, who was completely different from the thorny girl three years ago, she couldn't help but asked with a smile, "You don't have anything to ask me ?"

Jiang Ci's expression froze for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he clenched his fingers quietly, and then slowly released them, "...how is he?"

"It's okay, at least it looks healthy and healthy."

Jiang Ci smiled softly again, "That's good..."

"But what's going on in my heart, I can't tell." Seeing Jiang Ci's expression change, she couldn't help but smile narrowly, "...Just kidding, Liang Jingxing is fine, a person like him can't be easily defeated. He Recently, I am investing as a producer, and I am so busy that I can hardly see anyone. Uncle Liang urges him to solve life-long affairs every day, and I suffer accordingly."

Jiang Ci's heart moved when she heard the words, and another question that had been asked for many years resurfaced again. She looked at Xu Jinhuan, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "You and Liang Jingxing..."

Xu Jinhuan hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt her, "Did he tell you?"

"He just said that you don't want to get married, so you use him as a cover."

Xu Jinhuan laughed loudly, "This man is really a good friend, um... how should I put it, I actually don't like men."

Jiang Ci had already faintly guessed this before, "...I'm sorry, I misunderstood you earlier."

"It's okay——if I had known about your relationship with him, I would have explained it to you myself. Liang Jingxing is also sincere, and if he was asked to keep it a secret, he would really not say a word. No wonder his girlfriend ran away in anger."

Jiang Ci smiled, gradually faded, and lowered his eyes slightly, "...Actually, I didn't mean not to contact you on purpose, but I was a little bit competitive with myself. After all, I have come out, so I don't want to go back in disgrace."

Xu Jin laughed and said, "I understand, and I'm afraid I'm the only one who agrees with the temporary separation between you two."
