Chapter 43.1 Jealous
Editor: Jodi
“Let me show you my little Yuan Bao!” Yang Ning held his phone up excitedly for Shen Ci to see, but Shen Ci just nodded with little interest, “Mhmm, cute.”
Yang Ning could tell he was just being perfunctory with a single glance, so he pouted, “Jerk… you weren’t like this just now.”
Wei Shuo pushed him aside, “Alright, alright, stop bothering him.”
After accidentally seeing Lu Xiao just now, Shen Ci had become listless.
It was because he saw Sister Jiaxi sitting with Lu Xiao that’s why he was unhappy right?
Wei Shuo thought about it. It seems this idiot was starting to be enlightened a little.
“What were you guys doing just now?” Yang Ning was very puzzled, not understanding why Shen Ci suddenly seemed down, “Didn’t you just go to the restroom?”
Wei Shuo sneered, “Want to know? Then beg daddy for it.”
Yang Ning immediately put on a sincere expression of begging with tears in his eyes, “Daddy! Please tell me!”
Wei Shuo’s eye twitched, “…Big brother, don’t you have even the least bit of dignity left?!”
This tactic of provocation had no effect on someone as shameless as Yang Ning, but Wei Shuo didn’t want to share Shen Ci’s little secret with more people, so he acted stubborn, “Doesn’t matter, I’m not telling you!”
“Damn it!”
Yang Ning gritted his teeth and cursed Wei Shuo, while Shen Ci lay between them covering his ears, looking utterly speechless.
That they could even fight like this, they were really a pair of enemies.
Shen Ci’s listless appearance was too concerning, because after arguing for a while, they both forgot about each other and looked at him helplessly.
Min Song, seeing things calm down here, pushed a plate of strawberries over to Shen Ci in a timely manner.
This was Shen Ci’s favorite fruit, but he wasn’t in the mood to eat it now, so he just smiled at her, “Thank you.”
Min Song pursed her lips, the words of concern and inquiry rolling around in her throat, but she swallowed them down.
Forget it, she wasn’t good at talking. It wouldn’t be good if she accidentally touched Shen Ci’s sore spot…

Whenever Shen Ci closed his eyes now, all he could see was Lu Xiao and Sister Jiaxi sitting together, which made him feel uncomfortable.
But why exactly he was upset… he couldn’t explain.
Just then, his phone rang, like a savior interrupting his thoughts, causing Shen Ci to answer it immediately.
“Xiao Ci, are you done over there?” Lu Xiao’s voice sounded slightly tipsy and hoarse, with a flat tone.
It’s little uncle…..
Shen Ci pouted but didn’t say anything.
Lu Xiao, sensing that his mood was a bit off, paused, “Xiao Ci?”
“What’s wrong?”
Shen Ci grumbled in a muffled voice, “Nothing, I’ll be down in a bit.”
Then he hung up the phone directly, only to feel a hint of regret in his heart.
Why hadn’t he controlled his temper? Why did he lash out at his little uncle…
Throwing a tantrum would only make Lu Xiao feel troubled, which would in turn make Shen Ci even more unhappy, so when he found Lu Xiao’s car in the underground parking lot, he tried hard to smile but couldn’t.
“Little uncle.” Shen Ci forced a smile as he sat down next to Lu Xiao.
The car started, and for a moment, there was only the gentle sound of piano music flowing quietly in the car.
Lu Xiao reached over and pulled Shen Ci into his arms, his slender fingers around his neck, pinching his earlobe as he asked softly, “Why are you unhappy?”
As they got closer, Shen Ci could smell a faint unfamiliar scent coming from Lu Xiao’s body.
It was a scent that didn’t belong to him.
And his heart feeling a little sour, Shen Ci pouted, “I saw you in the private room today.”
Lu Xiao’s fingers paused, then he suddenly understood something.
There was even a hint of a smile in his eyes, “And then?”
Shen Ci lowered his head, like a little ostrich, “And then, you were sitting next to Sister Jiaxi.”
“You still remember her?” Lu Xiao was slightly surprised.
Shen Ci: “En, after all, she’s so beautiful, gentle, and generous… and looks so perfect with you.”
Lu Xiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “…Perfect?”
Shen Ci fell silent, then after a while, he continued, “She’s engaged to you, isn’t she?”
“Then, do you want me to marry her?” Lu Xiao suddenly changed the topic, asking gently as he leaned in closer.
Was Lu Xiao admitting it indirectly? Shen Ci remained silent.
In his mind, the scene of Lu Xiao’s wedding that he had imagined under Qin Yun’s guidance appeared slowly, causing him to feel a little dazed. How had this day come so fast?
He lowered his head, not wanting to look at Lu Xiao, feeling a bit deflated.
He admitted, he didn’t want Lu Xiao to get married, nor did he want him to be taken away by anyone. But this thought was too selfish.
He couldn’t say it out loud.
“My engagement with her has long been invalid.”
Lu Xiao’s slightly tipsy voice carried a faint smile in it, causing Shen Ci to freeze all over as he looked up at him.
Invalid?
Lu Xiao patted the child’s soft hair, unable to suppress the curve of his lips.
Xiao Ci, had probably been jealous just now.
Revealing the child’s words might make him angry and embarrassed, so Lu Xiao could only smile as he hugged him tighter.
“En, rest for a while first.”
Shen Ci leaned against Lu Xiao, his mind unusually clear as he kept on thinking about what Lu Xiao had said just now.
The driver drove quietly, looking calm on the surface when in reality, there were turbulent waves in his heart.
He had just started this month, so this was his first time meeting Shen Ci.
After Lu Xiao hung up the phone just now, the atmosphere in the car became visibly tense and cold. He even shivered a few times even though he was sitting next to the car’s heater.
Then a quick glance in the rearview mirror revealed that the President’s lips were pursed tightly, looking rather displeased, causing him to think that it was Little Young Master Shen who had upset him.
However when Shen Ci came over… Lu Xiao unexpectedly became gentle again, even asking in a gentle voice what was wrong, completely putting away the heavy pressure and aura he usually exuded when meeting clients and partners.
He had heard that President Lu had a close relationship with Little Young Master Shen, but seeing it with his own eyes… really surprised him a lot.
