C90 Don't Try too Hard

Xia Jing nodded at her, then took Shen Ruo Bai's arm and walked in together.

It was said that the old man rarely went out because he couldn't move his legs properly.

At this moment, he was quietly sitting by the window, wearing a dark grey robe. He was slightly lost in thought as he watched the shadows of the bamboo swaying outside.

When he realized that someone was coming in, he turned around and saw the two of them holding hands, so he started to laugh loudly. His clear laughter sounded far away, "Young people nowadays are really good. They don't try to hide anything anymore. It is totally different from the time when we had to hold each other's hands secretly. We were afraid that we would be seen by others. "

When Xia Jing heard this, her face turned slightly red, and she let go of Shen Ruo Bai's hand.

Shen Ruo Bai immediately said to the old man unhappily, "This is not your time."

"Stinking brat, blame my old man for not saying much." The old man glared at him and then turned to look at Xia Jing, "Girl, you haven't been here for a long time. What have you been busy with?"

Xia Jing found a random chair and sat down. She rested her chin on her hands and took a nap. If it wasn't for Shen Ruo Bai asking her to come, she wouldn't have bothered to come here. Hearing this, she raised her eyes slightly and sighed, "Of course, it's work."

Ever since Shen Ruo Bai gave her the Xia Group, she had been busy with work every day.

It was rare for her to be so relaxed that she could sit down and take a nap.

"What? Is work very hard?" Seeing that she didn't look too good, the old man was full of concern.

"It's not very hard at all. You don't have to worry." The corner of Xia Jing's mouth curled into a smile as she turned her head to look at Shen Ruo Bai. In any case, there would be someone to take care of the documents that she could not finish every day.

"That's good. Young man, don't work too hard. Your health is the most important."

The old man was slightly relieved.

"That's right, old man." Xia Jing nodded and then looked at Shen Ruo Bai on purpose. She imitated the old man's tone and said sincerely, "Young man, don't work too hard."

Shen Ruo Bai's face immediately darkened.

He had been working so hard outside for the sake of his future with her.

This person really knew how to say sarcastic words.

"Hahaha, girl, I think your temper isn't as dull as it was in the past. In the end, you are better than that brat, Ruo Bai." He was always worried that the two of them wouldn't be able to get along with each other. Now it seemed that the girl was just slow and warm. She was actually quite lively.

"When has my temper ever been dull?" Xia Jing thought about it for a moment. It was probably when she was in a bad mood and did not like to talk much, but her temper was not that dull.

Unlike Shen Ruo Bai, who could easily say any kind of words of love in front of her, she had a cold and aloof image outside. Other than work, it was rare for her to have a good chat with others.

Shen Ruo Bai's face immediately darkened. She had been shot even when she was lying down.

"Then it was my old man who remembered wrongly. He remembered wrongly, hahaha." The old man's clear laughter drifted out of the open window and spread throughout the entire manor.

Su Yu, who had been waiting outside, had an increasingly ugly expression on her face. The old man usually didn't smile, but every time he saw Xia Jing, he seemed to have become a completely different person. He didn't have the usual serious appearance and could always talk and laugh with this girl.

She thought that the girl was not someone who liked to play tricks and did not intentionally make the old man happy. But for some reason, the old man treated her differently from the others.

Furthermore, he had been talking about this girl all these days. Could it be that the two of them had some kind of relationship?

The more she thought, the tighter her eyebrows became. When she was sent by her parents to be the old man's adopted daughter, they had already investigated the old man. The old man was always alone. He didn't have any children.

The two of them should not have any kind of relationship...

"Su Yu?" While she was still in a daze, the old man's voice suddenly came from behind, very close.

Su Yu turned around and found that they had come out. Xia Jing pushed the old man's wheelchair and Su Yu quickly went over, "Miss Xia, let me do it."

"No need. Su Yu, go and prepare food. Let's go to the manor for a stroll. We can eat when we come back." In front of Su Yu, the old man was obviously much more serious. There was not a trace of a smile on his face.

Xia Jing listened to his words and elegantly held her forehead. "Old man, you asked her to cook. Who will push you?"

She had originally planned to push him to the door and give him to Su Yu, but she didn't expect this old man to ask Su Yu to cook.

This was really strange. This Su Yu looked delicate and tender, yet she knew how to cook?

"Girl, you really have no sympathy at all. I am so pitiful. Don't you know how to push me around?" The old man turned his head and looked at her with a sad expression. Xia Jing quickly raised her hands in surrender." Push, I can't push."

For some reason, although she felt that this old man was a little strange, sometimes when she spoke to him, she felt inexplicably familiar. That kind of feeling was indescribable.

"Then Su Yu will go to cook." Su Yu gritted her teeth, turned around, and left.

Xia Jing watched her leaving figure and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Shen Ruo Bai. Was this really her adopted daughter and not the servant that the old man had hired?

She knew how to pour tea and cook without any complaints.

She was too lazy and didn't know how to do housework. Sometimes, the servants would take a leave of absence, so she had to do those things for nothing.

Qin Mo's manor was very big, so Xia Jing pushed the old man to find a nearby garden to stroll around.

In the early autumn, although the flowers in the garden were not as bright as in the summer, they were still very enchanting.

However, such an ordinary garden could not be compared with Qin Mo's world-famous flowers. Xia Jing sighed as soon as she entered the garden.

The old man seemed to be able to read her mind: "Girl, do you think that the flowers in this garden are not as beautiful as the flowers in Mo's private garden?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Xia Jing felt a chill run down her spine, and she did not dare to say anything else. She glanced at Shen Ruo Bai's suddenly cold face and changed the topic, "What are you talking about? The flowers here are so beautiful, how can they not be as good as the ones in someone else's garden?"

The old man was stunned for a moment. He turned around and looked at Shen Ruo Bai's cold face and immediately laughed out loud.

He didn't expect that this brat would also be jealous.

"However, old mister, how did you know that I had entered Qin Mo's private garden?" That place was not a place that ordinary people were not allowed to enter. When she entered, only Qin Mo and Mr. Bodyguard accompanied her. How did this old man know?

Qin Mo said that the old man was his mentor, could it be...

"Haha, girl, who in this manor doesn't know that you have picked Mo brat's Salamandhys? Even though my old man doesn't go out, Su Yu occasionally tells me about the interesting things in these manors."

"So it was Su Yu who complained in front of you." Xia Jing realized what was going on, and then she sighed, "Actually, I felt a little wronged in this matter. When I was picking the flowers, I didn't know that the Salamandhys was so precious. Qin Mo said that he could pick any of the flowers in his garden, so I didn't think too much about it. I picked the most beautiful ones, but who would have thought that they would become famous in this manor? If I had known that there was only one flower in the world of flowers, I wouldn't have destroyed it so ruthlessly."

"Alright, girl, there is nothing to regret. No matter how precious it is, it is still just a flower. If you pick it, then pick it. It saves others the trouble of thinking about it." The old man didn't act like Su Yu. Instead, he was quite indulgent.

Xia Jing felt even more intimate, "If everyone thinks like you, I don't have to feel any pressure."

At this moment, Shen Ruo Bai snorted, "Who dares to talk nonsense about my wife? Don't let me catch you."

Xia Jing looked at him with a smile, feeling more and more that her family was adorable. When she was jealous, she was cute. When she was angry, she was also cute.

"Did my old man hear it wrong? Ruobai's boy, you have already called me your wife, but when are you going to get married?"

Speaking of getting married, Xia Jing's face was a little awkward. She did not have such thoughts yet. Ruo Bai had mentioned to her before that he wanted to hold a grand wedding for her, but she felt that it was not necessary.

"We're almost there." Shen Ruo Bai looked at Xia Jing's complicated expression and agreed coldly.

"What you said doesn't count. Girl, have you made up your mind to marry Ruobai's boy?" The old man was a good person, and he immediately turned his gaze to Xia Jing.

"Ugh..." Xia Jing lowered her head, her fingers twisting the corner of her clothes. Under the two burning gazes, she only raised her head after a long while, "He hasn't even put on the marriage ring for me. Wouldn't it be letting him off easy if I marry him just like that?"

Xia Jing secretly admired herself for her wits. The last time she proposed to him for nothing, something went wrong when she was about to put on the ring. Later on, he was so angry that he threw the ring away. Because of this, she felt sorry for him for a long time.

If he wanted her to marry him, he had to at least make up for it with the wedding ring.

"Ruobai's boy, you are really too stingy. My family's girl is as beautiful as a flower, why can't you even afford a ring? Small, really petty. Girl, let's not marry him."

Xia Jing smiled and nodded her head. Shen Ruo Bai looked like she had been humiliated. She glared at Xia Jing and said in an overbearing manner, "You're my wife even if you don't want to marry."

Whether he married her or not, they would all be Shen Ruo Bai's women.

The old man laughed heartily again, but Xia Jing ignored the two of them. She looked at the blooming flowers in the garden, saw a place with a good color, and went over to pick a few flowers.

The old man shook his head with a smile, "Girl, the flowers in the garden are not mine. Aren't you worried that others will blame you?"

However, her appearance... was very similar to someone.

"What's wrong with blaming? With you guys supporting me, I'm not afraid of him. No matter how much money, my family can afford it." Under the bright sunlight, Xia Jing raised the colorful flowers and waved them happily at Shen Ruo Bai.

Shen Ruo Bai's cold face finally revealed a smile.

The old man looked at the two of them and nodded with a satisfied smile.

What a perfect match.

Su An was still in the hospital. After she left the manor, Xia Jing asked Shen Ruo Bai to take her to the hospital.

From the ward, she could hear the noise from inside. Xia Jing couldn't help but look up at Shen Ruo Bai. Shen Ruo Bai didn't say anything and just pushed open the door and went in.

Who would have thought that the moment she entered, she would see a scene she shouldn't have seen?

Li Nan was hugging the crazily struggling Su An and kissing her passionately.
