Chapter 435: 279 The eldest brother was pounced: a lover's kiss, two lines of tears from family members_2 Jiang Yanting had never heard her talk about her mother before, "Your mother..." "She was just a foolish woman!" Shen Zhixian bitterly smiled, her eyes reddening and a mist forming over them as she looked at the person before her.

"And the relatives who adopted you, were they good to you?" Under normal circumstances, Shen Zhixian would never bring up such matters.

Perhaps it was the stimuli of today's events and the alcohol that made her speak out, "They call themselves relatives, but they were never close. Their family was already struggling, and the only reason they were willing to takein was to get their hands on the small inheritance my mother leftafter she died." "Didn't they contact you afterward?" Jiang Yanting put down his chopsticks and stared intently at her. If they were after money, knowing she had been acknowledged by the Xie Family, how could they not have contacted her? "After I went abroad, I never got in touch with them again. Those people..." Shen Zhixian snorted lightly, "they would've been happier if I were dead. I took... I took their..." It wasn't clear what she thought of next, but Shen Zhixian suddenly started to breathe rapidly, her grip tightening on the stem of the wineglass until her knuckles turned white.

Jiang Yanting saw her expression change and took her hand, "Xianxian?" "Would you like to have a drink with me?" Shen Zhixian gave him a smile, both bitter and astringent.

He nodded, and Shen Zhixian slowly stood up with the help of the table, pouring the drink and moving closer to him. As she leaned over, her arm unintentionally brushed against the man's crisply ironed fabric, and having drunk swine already, she felt as if she were on fire.

Perhaps the force used to straighten up was too much, or it was just coincidence, but her hair got tangled with Jiang Yanting's button.

She was forced to bend over, his breath coming in unerring waves, raising the temperature on her face inch by inch.

The more frantic she felt trying to untangle her hair and his button, the harder it was to do so.

"Letdo it." Jiang Yanting's deep voice trembled in her ear, tickling her.

As he reached out, their fingers entangled, the hair separated from the button, and just as Shen Zhixian was about to straighten up, he caught her wrist.

"Senior..." Her breath carried the scent of alcohol, sweet and rich, yet scalding.

"Do you still like me?" "I..." "I like you, from the start until now. You know that, don't you?" "I... I need to use the restroom." Shen Zhixian braced herself against the table and left.

Jiang Yanting got up as well, his hand casually in his pocket, watching her shakily walk, leaning against the wall. She had been to a meeting today, dressed in a blouse and a pencil skirt, her ankles delicate, and her walk was enough to make hearts flutter.

She was about to stumble, about to fall to the ground, when Jiang Yanting quickly stepped forward and embraced her.

Shen Zhixian's fingers tightly clutched his sleeve; her constitution was such that she was prone to sweating, and with the alcohol, she felt unbearably warm and damp all over.

"Senior..." Jiang Yanting was about to suggest helping her back to her room when she stumbled, leaned into his embrace, and with a "thud," collided with his heart.

The next second, she was clutching at his collar, bringing her whole body close to his.

"Bzz, bzz-" The phone vibrated, and Shen Zhixian instinctively reached for it beside her bed, finding nothing.

She slightly frowned, and then a long arm reached in front of her, the muscles toned and powerful, handing her the phone, "Here, your phone." Her head exploded with a buzz, and her eyes flew open, leaving only the sound of her rapid breathing and the still-vibrating phone in the room.

"I'm going to take a shower." He had actually rolled out of bed and stood up.

Shen Zhixian was not an inexperienced young girl; the sensations in her body told her they hadn't gone all the way, but...

Where were her clothes? All gone? She propped herself up with her arms, trembling as she sat up in bed, and that's when she noticed all her clothes were on the headboard. Using the the took to shower, she prepared to get dressed, but her skirt...

How had it been torn in two? She vaguely remembered that it was she who had initiated it, throwing herself on Jiang Yanting, pressing him against the wall.

Shen Zhixian, have you gone mad! Why on earth were you drinking in broad daylight? This was her room. She swiftly opened the wardrobe, picked clothes at random, and decided to put them on first. "Xianxian-" Jiang Yanting suddenly spoke up.

"Ah?" Shen Zhixian felt a tingling numbness on her scalp.

"Go to my room, helpfind a piece of clothing." This was Shen Zhixian's bedroom, naturally, there were no clothes for him to change into.

"Okay." She dashed to his room and to his wardrobe, where neat white shirts, almost all identical, filled the space. She randomly grabbed one and knocked on the bathroom door, "Your clothes!" The door opened a crack, and Shen Zhixian handed the clothes through.

The lotus-white arm holding his shirt, amidst the steam swirling inside the bathroom, inevitably stirred sinful thoughts.

With her back to him, Shen Zhixian was still puzzled why he wasn't taking the clothes as the mist from the shower slowly wafted out through the door gap...

Suddenly, a forceful tug pulled her into the bathroom.

"Jiang Yanting!" A deluge of hot water cpouring down, and Shen Zhixian lamented that she had just changed her clothes. "Earlier it was you taking the initiative, now it's my turn, so it's fair..." Just when Shen Zhixian thought she was beyond rescue, Jiang Yanting let go and pulled back, cupping her face and giving her two quick kisses.

"Xie Family called you, dialed several times, so I answered for you, told us to cback for dinner, Jiangjiang and Taotao already went over there, that phone call just now was probably to hurry us." "It's getting late, other matters... we can talk about them when we cback tonight." As soon as the children and the Xie Family were mentioned, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured over her; Shen Zhixian was completely sobered up, "The elder uncle called? What did you tell him?" "The truth, I said you were sleeping." "You..." "I did have sideas today, just that at the crucial moment, you actually threw up, to be honest... it left a bad taste." Reminded by him, Shen Zhixian vaguely remembered embracing the toilet and vomiting her guts out.

"You stripped off all my clothes?" "Before you threw up, you were already undressed." ||

Jiang Yanting emerged from the bathroom; Shen Zhixian had already Set changed into another set of clothes and was tidying up the room, the torn dress had to be thrown away. On the way to the Xie Family's place, Shen Zhixian called the elder uncle back.

"Woke up, have you?" The old man chuckled slyly.

Shen Zhixian felt extremely embarrassed, "I just took a nap." "I understand, haha-" Pinching the bridge of her nose, Shen Zhixian realized he had completely misunderstood.

"If you two are busy, just carry on, no need to cover, I'll look after the children, having a mealisn't such a big deal, you can cover anytyou want to eat, the important things take precedence." We... don't have any important things! "I'll be there soon." Shen Zhixian hung up the phone quickly.

Jiang Yanting held the steering wheel with both hands, watching her look both shy and annoyed, he couldn't help but laugh quietly...

The wine that Xiaowu sent really was a good thing, they should stock up more at home.

** Xie Family After hanging up the phone, the old man was overjoyed, and jovially asked the kitchen to cook a couple more dishes.

"What happened, Grandpa, you seem just so happy." Xie Duo had just returned from the company, even his secretary looked at him with a strange expression in the afternoon.

Xie Tongtong smiled at him, "Auntie and Uncle will cover in a bit." "There's not even a hint of a word!" Xie Duo was stubborn, "You sure changed how you address them quickly." "How do you know there's not even a hint of a word?" Xie Duo was taken aback, then looked at his grandfather's gleeful demeanor, had a bad feeling that the sky was falling-could it be that those two...

Truly a lover's kiss, but a relative's two lines of tears!
