Flash Marriage with a Seductive Beautiful Omega After Being Dumped/Having the Engagement Broken - Chapter 4

Shen Jiangxu brought them to a private dining restaurant.

The environment was secluded and private. Judging by Niannian’s familiar way of going upstairs to find the private room, she must come here often.

After they were seated, Niannian didn’t even look at the menu and immediately named two dishes.

Shen Jiangxu didn’t stop her. Only after receiving a “whatever is fine” from Bai Youxi, did she add a few lighter dishes, all of which were specialties of Nancheng.

Among the Nancheng specialties, there were quite a few strongly flavored dishes, and the two dishes Niannian initially ordered were both quite spicy and numbing, indicating that she was not averse to spicy food.

Bai Youxi felt it must be related to her own condition, as the doctor had specifically told her to maintain a light diet.

Sure enough, when the food arrived, Shen Jiangxu moved the two stronger-flavored dishes, deliberately putting space between them and her.

Niannian also seriously cautioned, “Little Cat can’t eat these two, okay?”

Bai Youxi chuckled, saying, “Okay.”

Actually, she was still a bit dazed even now, still finding it unbelievable that she was actually picked up by someone who mistook her for a kitten.

Just a few hours ago, Shen Jiangxu was aggressively close to having her arrested, and even after the misunderstanding was resolved, she was full of vigilance.

Before the dishes were all served, Shen Jiangxu asked Niannian about her day at school. Niannian was very happy and excitedly recounted everything, not forgetting to mention that they had fed a kitten together.

Niannian’s voice, with the characteristic milkiness of a child, sounded soft in Bai Youxi’s ears, making her heart feel soft too.

She looked at the brightly smiling Niannian and the seriously listening Shen Jiangxu, and a smile couldn’t help but curve on her own lips.

It was only when those grey eyes lifted towards her that she realized she had been staring at Shen Jiangxu absentmindedly.

Bai Youxi was a little embarrassed, quickly picking up the glass on the table to drink water, and subtly glancing over. Shen Jiangxu was no longer looking at her.

This provided a strange sense of relief.

Fortunately, the dishes were served quickly, and the private room fell quiet. Bai Youxi buried her head in her food, finding it delicious.

To save money, she hadn’t eaten dinner for the past few days. After getting past the initial hunger, she no longer felt hungry.

But now that she was eating again, her stomach actually felt quite empty.

Niannian’s age was a factor, and her appetite was small. She quickly finished eating and sat there watching Bai Youxi eat.

Bai Youxi noticed and looked up. Niannian immediately smiled, “Little Cat, eat more. You’ll get better faster when you’re full.”

Bai Youxi smiled and nodded.

Towards the end of the meal, Shen Jiangxu got up and went out for a moment. Not long after she returned, a waiter brought in a bowl of soup.

Shen Jiangxu pointed at Bai Youxi, and the waiter placed the soup in front of her.

Bai Youxi was a bit confused, “Ah, I’m full enough, I don’t need an addition.”

Shen Jiangxu looked over, “Drink it. It’s a signature soup from this restaurant, good for your health.”

Slowly blinking, Bai Youxi said, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Seeing the residential compound from a distance, Bai Youxi felt that something was not right when she saw the brightly marked landmark building.

However, as the car drove into the compound and the apartment buildings became clearer in her vision, Bai Youxi had to admit that her feeling was correct.

Wasn’t this the famous wealthy residential compound in Nancheng?

The property prices in this compound were among the highest in the country. It was said that the annual management fee for one of the units was an exorbitant amount that an ordinary person couldn’t earn in a lifetime. It wasn’t something you could afford just by being rich.

Bai Youxi looked at Shen Jiangxu driving in the front seat with eyes full of shock. The light from the streetlamp skimmed her profile, like a sacred halo.

Can… can being a teacher really earn this much?

After going upstairs, Shen Jiangxu took out a new pair of slippers for her.

While Bai Youxi was changing her slippers, her peripheral vision had already taken in the general layout of the house.

It was very simple clean, tidy, and bright an ordinary look that didn’t quite match the expensive price of the property.

Maybe being a teacher wasn’t that lucrative after all, Bai Youxi thought.

Once she was done changing, Niannian couldn’t wait to grab her hand and introduced her to the rooms, opening different doors one by one.

The house was very large, and Niannian always added many small details to her introductions, lengthening their tour time.

But, it was very cute.

The simple arrangement revealed a strong sense of warmth, a passionate love that had nothing to do with the high price of the house or the modest furniture.

They were a very happy family.

After finishing the tour, Niannian pulled her to a stop in the center of the living room, “Mom, where does Little Cat sleep?”

Shen Jiangxu hadn’t followed them. She had gone to the kitchen, brought out some water, and was sitting on the sofa.

Hearing Niannian’s question, she stood up, walked to a room, and turned on the light inside again.

There was only a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe inside. Niannian had earlier said it was a guest room.

Shen Jiangxu turned around, “You can stay here for now. That door is the bathroom. I had Aunt Tong go buy some supplies, she’ll be back soon. We can buy anything else you need tomorrow.”

It was then that Bai Youxi realized why Aunt Tong had separated from them, and she couldn’t help but feel a little overwhelmed, “That’s too much trouble. I don’t need anything.”

“It’s no trouble, and don’t be reserved, just treat it like your own home.”

After a pause, Shen Jiangxu added, “Aunt Tong is basically here all day. You can call her directly if you need anything.”

Bai Youxi nodded in acknowledgment.

Shen Jiangxu took Niannian’s hand, “The room hasn’t been tidied yet. Let’s sit in the living room first and wait for Aunt Tong to come back and tidy up. I’ve poured some water.”

Bai Youxi didn’t nod, “The room is very clean. I can make the bed myself, no need to trouble Aunt Tong.”

It was the truth. Although it wasn’t frequently occupied, it was clearly cleaned regularly, and it was perfectly fine to move in directly.

Those bright eyes looked at her. In the soft white light, the cool grey was even more pronounced.

After a moment, Shen Jiangxu let go of Niannian and walked into the room.

Niannian followed behind, and Bai Youxi followed Niannian.

Shen Jiangxu took a set of bedding from the wardrobe. Bai Youxi quickly took it, walked over, and placed it on the mattress.

When she turned around, Shen Jiangxu was handing a pillow to Niannian, which looked like Niannian had requested.

Taking out another four piece set of sheets, Shen Jiangxu closed the wardrobe, and Bai Youxi was in front of her again.

Seeing her reach out, Shen Jiangxu handed over the four-piece set as well, her crimson lips slowly opening, “The water is getting cold.”

Bai Youxi tensed up, and quickly laughed, “I actually am a bit thirsty. This can wait. Let’s go drink the water first.”

Shen Jiangxu’s expression remained unchanged, and she replied, “Good.”

The two adults and one child all sat down on the sofa.

It was getting late, and Niannian needed to prepare for bed, so after only a short sit, Shen Jiangxu called her to go wash up.
