Chapter 1366: Invitation
Jiang Yu was shocked. She was pregnant?
Looking at her in disbelief, he asked, “Really? Yingluo, when was it?”
She shook her head indiscriminately and demanded another drink.
Jiang Yu grabbed her hand. “You can’t drink anymore! You are still pregnant! Yingluo, what is going on with the child, is it true or are you talking drunk?!” Hearing that the girl he liked so much was pregnant with someone else’s child made him distressed and angry.
But she still just shook her head and giggled, and gradually slept in his arms.
Jiang Yu guarded her, his mind a mess, full of the word “pregnant”. He didn’t know what to do. Did Wei Lingnan know this? If he didn’t know and he told him, would he still marry Gu Jinxiu? Yingluo obviously still loved him, should he tell Wei Lingnan about it and make them happy… Or, hide this secret, stay with her, take care of her, and take advantage of her when she was most vulnerable and in need of help? Then maybe, maybe, he could be with her…
He was absorbed in his thoughts until he heard a noise outside the door.
“Go away, you are not welcome here!” Jin Ling’er yelled angrily. “Yingluo won’t see you!”
Jiang Yu quickly got up and went out to see that Jin Ling’er was standing in front of the door wearing a home shirt. A woman with strong makeup stood outside the door with a proud look and wearing an emerald bracelet was on the door, preventing Jin Ling’er from closing it.
Jiang Yu walked over and asked, “Jing’er, what’s wrong?”
When Jin Ling’er saw him coming out, she was even angrier. “Brother Jiang, drive this woman away quickly, don’t let Yingluo see her!”
“Oh, it’s Mr. Jiang Yu.” The woman outside smiled coldly. “Pleasure to meet you.”
Jiang Yu asked calmly, “You are?”
“Pei Yan,” the woman said her name and shook the thing in her hand. “I’m Gu Jinxiu’s friend. I’m here to send her invitation to Xia Yingluo today. Tomorrow will be Gu Jinxiu’s wedding. Ms. Xia must also come along to admire it. ”
Jiang Yu understood that she was here to anger Xia Yingluo.
The man Xia Yingluo liked was going to marry another woman, and she still invited her to the wedding? Which woman could take such an insult?
No wonder Jin Ling’er was so angry.
Jiang Yu took the invitation from Pei Yan. “I’ll help Yingluo accept it. Ms. Pei, thank you, you can leave.”
“Brother Jiang! How could you accept this!” Jin Ling’er called again, looking at Jiang Yu in disbelief.
Jiang Yu said to her, “Quiet, Yingluo has already fallen asleep.”
Jin Ling’er realized that her voice was too loud, so she stopped talking.
But Pei Yan looked at him thoughtfully—Xia Yingluo was already asleep? What was going on with Jiang Yu here, were they sleeping together? But this was obviously Jin Ling’er’s home. Even if the two of them want to live together, they should choose another place.
Regardless of her bad thoughts, Jiang Yu politely urged her again. “Ms. Pei, you should go.”
Pei Yan was disappointed. She had taken the initiative to take the invitation to Xia Yingluo to see her sorry state. It would be worth the fare here if she could see Xia Yingluo’s heartbroken expression. But unfortunately, Xia Yingluo didn’t even come out to fight. “The invitation is for Xia Yingluo. I can’t return without seeing her. What about her? Don’t tell me she’s in her room crying to sleep after falling out of love?” Pei Yan half-mocked.
Jiang Yu stopped being polite. He reached out and closed the door.
The loud closing sound echoed in the corridor, and Pei Yan was caught off guard and almost hit her nose.
“Hey!” She shouted in shock and anger, but the corridor was empty, and there was only an iron door in front of her.
She stomped unwillingly and turned to leave.
Inside, Jin Ling’er gave Jiang Yu a thumbs up. “Brother Jiang, good job. You should be like that to people like that!”
Jiang Yu’s expression was dull, and he handed the invitation in his hand to Jin Ling’er. “Burn it.”
“Ah? Oh!” Jin Ling’er quickly took over the invitation. “Right, I was asking why Brother Jiang would even accept this? This kind of thing must not be visible to Yingluo! I’ll take it to the kitchen and burn it right away!”
Jiang Yu said, “If I didn’t accept it, she just wouldn’t leave. What if she wakes up Yingluo? It’s better to take it and deal with it.”
Jin Ling’er said, “Brother Jiang is still thoughtful.”
Jiang Yu said, “I’ll go see Yingluo.” He turned back into the room.
In the room, Xia Yingluo was still asleep. Her eyes and pale brows looked distressed. Jiang Yu reached out and touched her cheek with some hesitation, then retracted it and whispered, “Relax, I will protect you.”
Xia Yingluo slept for a long time. When she woke up, the house was full of sunshine. Jiang Yu was snoring by her bed.
She had a splitting headache with a hangover.
As soon as she moved, Jiang Yu also woke up and looked up at her. “How are you feeling?”
She looked at him and said, “When did you come here? Have you been guarding me? I’m sorry, I was drunk last night and don’t remember anything.”
“It was very late, and I came to see you on the way.” Jiang Yu gave her a soft smile. “I didn’t guard you for a long time.” He wanted to ask her about the pregnancy, but he swallowed it back. It was a big taboo. And even if he liked her a lot, he knew that he hadn’t earned a place in her heart yet.
Xia Yingluo knew that what he said was not true.
If he had only come on the way and didn’t guard her for long, he wouldn’t have such deep dark circles.
She looked at him apologetically. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” He got up very consciously and left the bed gentlemanly. “You can wash and change your clothes first. I’ll see how Jin Ling’er is preparing breakfast.” Today was Gu Lingxiu and Wei Lingnan’s wedding ceremony. Not only was Jiang Yu uneasy, but Jin Ling’er was also extremely uneasy. She had pushed off all her schedules and only stayed with Xia Yingluo.
Xia Yingluo saw him go out and even locked the door, so she got up to wash and change into clean clothes.
There was no one in the living room. Jiang Yu and Jin Ling’er were gathered in the kitchen preparing breakfast, and Xia Yingluo also walked over.
“Yingluo, you’re here?” Jin Ling’er was wrapped with her apron and she turned to smile at her. “Go sit for a while, I’ll fry the eggs. Brother Jiang, go with Yingluo, too. I know at a glance that you can’t really cook, you look so unfamiliar with it.”
Jiang Yu smiled a little apologetically. “I really don’t cook much.”
Xia Yingluo said, “It’s okay, Brother Jiang. Please sit down. I’ll help, my cooking is good.” While talking, she picked up the eggs on the chopping board and beat them, and threw the eggshells into the trash can. Suddenly, her sight halted—
She saw a small piece of burnt paper in the trash can, which faintly read “Ms. Xiu’s Wedding.”
Ms. Xiu’s wedding?!
Xia Yingluo understood it in an instant. There may be many new people getting married today, but it had something to do with Jin Ling’er if it was here. There was even a “Xiu” word on it, it could only be Gu Jinxiu!
