After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 24

Xia Shishi was already prepared for her heart to pound and her face to flush.

She slowed down the pace of changing her clothes, wondering about all the things Wen Jiao might say. Wen Jiao liked her so much; it was impossible for her to have no reaction at all.

Should she be more overt?

Or did Wen Jiao actually prefer a platonic relationship?

But her reactions were genuinely so cold. If Xia Shishi hadn’t personally witnessed Wen Jiao’s various responses after her death, she would have almost lost confidence.

She put on her clothes while thinking.

Wait a minute, she was almost done changing, so why hadn’t Wen Jiao reacted at all?

Xia Shishi suddenly turned her head to look and found Wen Jiao had picked up her work and was burying her head in it.

Xia Shishi: “…………”

She wailed, “Does work have more charm than me!” Oops, she asked it out loud.

Wen Jiao’s finger trembled, and she said lightly, “Aren’t you going out?”

After speaking, she continued to look down at her proposal, leaving only a side profile for Xia Shishi, which infuriated Xia Shishi greatly.

She ran over quickly and said, feeling very wronged, “Clever wife, this is the time when you should be caring about your lover. Look at me, I’m wearing such thin clothes, and you didn’t even ask if I needed to add a layer!”

It was still summer now, and wearing a single layer was just right…

Xia Shishi deliberately put on a cold-shoulder dress with ulterior motives, just wanting to see Wen Jiao’s reaction, but she wouldn’t even look!

Overwhelmed by her feelings of grievance, Xia Shishi’s tears began to fall easily.

Plop, a drop fell onto Wen Jiao’s hand.

It was a bit embarrassing, but having vented her emotions, Xia Shishi felt much better inside, and she continued to shed tears.

“Since yesterday, you’ve been intentionally saying things I don’t like to hear. You’re not a qualified wife.”

Wen Jiao raised her head now, expressionless.

Xia Shishi’s tears and the words she spoke undoubtedly made her begin to feel scared. She kept her lips almost tightly sealed, which made her expression look even stiffer.

Xia Shishi was crying with blurry vision, and the scene in front of her was not very clear. She only saw Wen Jiao raise her head.

So, subconsciously, she softened her voice and still wanted to reach out and pull Wen Jiao’s sleeve to coax her.

“You can’t be like this.”

The air around Wen Jiao seemed to condense.

Her hand unconsciously exerted force: “Then are you moving out?”

Xia Shishi hissed.

She was a little scared.

She opened her eyes wide, forgetting about crying, and just stared blankly at Wen Jiao. Only then did she clearly see Wen Jiao’s expression. Her hand was still gripping Wen Jiao’s sleeve, making the scene even more awkward.

What did this sentence mean? Xia Shishi’s brain was running fast.

Something must have gone wrong.

Xia Shishi took a breath, sniffled, and said, “Are you jealous?”

Wen Jiao was also caught off guard by this sentence.

What did she mean, she was jealous?

“I’m sorry, I forgot.” Xia Shishi only remembered to report her itinerary to put Wen Jiao at ease, forgetting that Zhou Xiaojiang was also a woman, and at least on the surface, Xia Shishi and she had a very good relationship.

Xia Shishi had only been by Wen Jiao’s side for a few days; maybe her dear wife was feeling a little uneasy?

She must be jealous.

“Then I won’t go see her. I’ll stay here and keep you company.”

So, it was normal for her wife to be jealous and sulk, refusing to look at her.

Xia Shishi obediently sat down, placed her hands on her lap, and looked at Wen Jiao with anticipation: “So don’t be angry, and don’t make me move out, okay? I’ll just stay by your side.”

She offered to stay and accompany Wen Jiao.

Even if she couldn’t go anywhere, she wanted to stay.

Xia Shishi was more worried about being kicked out.

Wen Jiao didn’t dare to look at Xia Shishi, fearing that her whole body would catch fire.

Even when Xia Shishi said she liked her, Wen Jiao was not as overwhelmed as she was now, almost completely unable to control herself.

She carefully wanted to hide this flower, but a sunflower grows toward the sun. Wen Jiao was worried that keeping her by her side would make her lose vitality.

However, Xia Shishi was willing to stay voluntarily, giving up her lifestyle of many years.

Wen Jiao’s rationality was fading.

“I’m not angry.”

“You are angry.” Xia Shishi wasn’t stupid; seeing Wen Jiao’s expression relax, she knew she had successfully coaxed her.

So, was Wen Jiao really jealous just now? Her eyes were sparkling as she looked at Wen Jiao, and the corners of her mouth were almost reaching her ears.

“You like me, that’s why you were jealous. Don’t worry, wife, I have no one else in my heart. My dealings with them were all just going through the motions!”

“Going through the motions?” Wen Jiao frowned, wanting to remind Xia Shishi not to misuse words. Fearing that saying it out loud would lead to another misunderstanding from Xia Shishi, she closed her mouth.

Xia Shishi had her unique ability to comprehend things.

Wen Jiao had witnessed it.

She did not continue to bring up things like asking Xia Shishi to move out: “You can go out and have fun.”

Xia Shishi didn’t speak; she just blinked her eyes at her.

Wen Jiao: “…You still have to go to the company later and will be in contact with all kinds of people. I have no reason to stop you.”

Wen Jiao pursed her lips: “Come back early.”

The sunflower instantly bloomed.

The smile on Xia Shishi’s face showed that she would brighten up with just a little sunshine. She smiled incredibly happily: “Wife, you finally learned! This is the proper procedure for showing care. I’ll be back early. You have to trust me; I really have something to see Zhou Xiaojiang about. I’ll call you after I arrive, so pay attention, okay?”

Xia Shishi stood up with a smile and consciously ran over to change into a different outfit.

Although Wen Jiao had not expressed any opinion about that dress from beginning to end.

Xia Shishi walked to the door of the room and threw a flying kiss at Wen Jiao: “Wife, stay home and work hard. I’ll control my desire to spend and won’t waste money.”

Xia Shishi left.

The room was much quieter.

Only after being exposed to the noise did Wen Jiao realize how good the sound insulation of this house was, so much so that she couldn’t hear anything except her own heartbeat.

After a while, Zheng He pushed the equipment in: “It’s time for your physical check-up.”

Wen Jiao: “Get out.”

Zheng He: “What did you say?”

Xia Shishi’s face carried a cheerful smile that didn’t stop even when she saw Zhou Xiaojiang.

Her wife was indeed her strength, supporting her every step forward!

Zhou Xiaojiang looked at Xia Shishi in surprise. It was rare to see her this happy; the scent on her wasn’t perfume but a strong sour smell.

Xia Shishi cupped her face: “My wife just couldn’t bear to let me go and only agreed after a kiss.”

Zhou Xiaojiang: …I didn’t ask you out to hear this!

It seemed like she was asked out precisely to hear this…

Zhou Xiaojiang forced a smile: “It seems your relationship is really good. Are you planning to get married? When?”

Xia Shishi smiled and looked over, then scoffed: “Of course we’ll get married. Otherwise, was the engagement party just for fun? By the way, how is the progress between you and Fu Yunhan? Are you considering that kind of future?”

Zhou Xiaojiang withdrew her smile and said weakly, “We haven’t officially started dating yet.”

A similar conversation had happened in the previous life.

At that time, Xia Shishi genuinely considered Zhou Xiaojiang a good friend and even envied the love between her and Fu Yunhan. Hearing this, she even blamed Fu Yunhan for being too insensible.

How would Xia Shishi reply this time?

She said: “Huh? Then why don’t you just break up.”

A wretched woman who was smooth sailing in her own relationship but advised others to break up.

Xia Shishi clicked her tongue and said, “How long have you two known each other? And you’ve been dragging it out vaguely. If you delay any longer, it won’t be appropriate.”

“Either break up or get together.” Xia Shishi lazily led Zhou Xiaojiang forward. “You see, what I said makes sense, right?”

“Oh my~ some things, indeed, you can only figure out after having a family~ The perspective on things is different, it becomes sharper.”

Zhou Xiaojiang followed behind Xia Shishi, head lowered.

Xia Shishi had always been a flamboyant little princess since childhood, acting without considering the consequences, as there were always people to clean up the mess.

It was indeed rare for her to say such words.

Has she changed since interacting with Wen Jiao? Zhou Xiaojiang looked at her questioningly, not easily allowing Xia Shishi to lead her on.

She had other considerations for not officially dating Fu Yunhan yet.

Breaking up was out of the question, but officially dating was also not possible yet.

But Xia Shishi insisted on sharing some sweet experiences with her.

“I went shopping with my wife yesterday and, before I knew it, bought a lot of things. When will I ever change this bad habit? But I guess I can’t change it. She said I can spend her money however I want. She’s so good to me.”
