The love story of a wealthy brother and sister

Chapter 290 Retreating from Difficulties

People's aesthetic tastes are fixed and single. If someone they liked before, they will most likely still like him in the future. Just like at this moment, Jiang Kaicheng was following quietly beside him, but Li Shu's heart was still beating fast.

Things and people have changed, but the intimacy and familiarity remain.

They found a western-style restaurant on the fifth floor of the mall. After they sat down, no one spoke. The atmosphere was deathly silent. Until the waitress came over, Jiang Kaicheng motioned for her to give the menu to Li Shu.

"I don't mind," she declined.

"I'll order," he continued her words, and then raised his hand to signal the waiter to return the menu to him - he remembered her preferences, and ordered all the expensive ones. After ordering, the waiter left quickly;

There were only two of them left in the small partitioned space, and the atmosphere fell silent again. Li Shu suddenly took out his cell phone and said, "I took a few photos of Ming Yi while holding him that day."

She didn't know what to talk about, so she could only talk about the child - "He is so cute and looks a lot like Yundan,"

Jiang Kaicheng also tilted his head to look at the photo, with an inexplicable look of kindness on his face, but when he heard the words "Yundan", his smile quickly faded and he murmured, "Looks like me."

"Hmm?" Li Shu looked at him, and he looked at her too. When their eyes met, he repeated firmly, "Like me."

She realized something and quickly stopped talking. "Okay," she took back her phone and no longer wanted to start a conversation.

"How's work going?" He started to talk about the topic. "Are you getting used to it?"

"It's good," she looked at him and smiled, "It's what I want to do, and it's meaningful."

"Yeah," he nodded, "that's good."

"What about you?" she asked.

"Same old," he laughed. "I invested more in emerging industries, so it's okay."

"Well," she lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

"You saw Mingyi, and you saw her, right?" Jiang Kaicheng asked again.

"I'll explain that there's nothing between you and me," she looked him straight in the eye, took a deep breath and continued, "There really is nothing between you and me, and there won't be anything between us in the future," and added at the end, "I've been on a blind date recently, and I've found the right person."

"Then you have to hide him well," he suddenly laughed, "or I will find him and make him give up."

Li Shu also smiled: "Okay, I'm just a person," she raised her eyebrows slightly, "There's nothing wrong with that."

"Shushu——"

"Can you please let the past go?"

——They spoke almost at the same time, but one was very gentle while the other was very impatient.

"You're not my type," she said bluntly, "and you're not suitable for marriage—"

"I am like this now because I am with the wrong person," Jiang Kaicheng was still very stubborn, "Really, you are the one... After we got married, there was not a single day that I didn't miss you--"

"If you keep doing this," she suddenly picked up her bag, "I won't eat anymore."

"Then I won't say it," Jiang Kaicheng immediately gave in, calmed down a little, and almost begged, "Can we have a good meal together?"

Li Shu was still not happy, "Why do you always come to me?"

"Eat," he took a sip of water and said half-jokingly, "You have my innocent years in you—"

"Jiang Kaicheng——"

"I'm glad to see you," he quickly explained, and became playful again, "Can't you make me happy?"

"What are you happy about?"

"I'm really annoyed lately," he didn't know what to say, "but seeing you makes me feel much happier--"

The waiter had already started serving the appetizers, but Li Shu didn't move.

"I hope..." She also had something to say, and she kept looking at him seriously, "Can you be nicer to Mingyi's mother?"

"Sure," he agreed without hesitation, "What do you want me to do? Agree to her divorce terms?"

"She's alone in Shanghai, with no family background or connections," she began to mutter, "If she had a family to support her, would you still treat her like this?"

Jiang Kaicheng raised his eyes to respond to her gaze, and after thinking about it, it seemed to be true, so he replied: "I won't bully her, I can agree to all her conditions."

Li Shu lowered his head: "But I——"

"Eat," he interrupted her, "Stop talking about that and say something happy."
