Chapter 6 Unfamiliar (2) _1
Xia Wan'an felt a little uneasy, turning her head to glance at Han Jingnian, then after a while, she glanced at him again.
Han Jingnian seemed to feel her gaze, he too turned his head to look at her a couple of times, one of which resulted in their eyes meeting.
Xia Wan'an's fingers trembled nervously, forgetting to avert her gaze, and Han Jingnian didn't move his sight away either, staring at her intently for a while before nodding slightly at her.
This distant, courteous gesture, felt like a small stone brutally hitting her heart, causing ripples to surge from the depths of her heart, wave after wave.
Ai Jiang, who was sitting next to Xia Wan'an, saw the exchanges between her and Han Jingnian, couldn't help but stealthily lean in to whisper in Xia Wan'an's ear, "Wan'an, do you know Han Zhijin's uncle?"
Song Youman and Xia Wan'an were neighbors, and their families were very close. Their mothers even arranged a childhood betrothal for them, but since both families had daughters, Xia Wan'an's marriage to Han Jingnian was known to Song Youman. As for Ai Jiang... Xia Wan'an, recalling Han Jingnian's wish for their relationship to not be known by others, hadn't told Ai Jiang about it.
Hearing Ai Jiang asking this, Xia Wan'an lowered her eyes slightly, concealing a flicker of sadness in her gaze, "No, I don't know him."
Yes, she didn't know him. Even though she wanted to declare that he was her husband, she could only say that she didn't know him to anyone who asked... In the two years after their marriage, that's what she always said, no other reason than because he said their marriage was existent in name only and that she mustn't affect his life or cause him trouble after their wedding, so she always told people she didn't know him.
