Chapter 126: Arriving in Xiajing
Ruan Hongzhuang’s subconscious movement caused Yang Hongwen’s complexion to change slightly, and he felt increasingly suffocated inside.
Even though she was holding onto Shen Siyuan’s arm, he didn’t mind, but this subconscious behavior clearly showed that she was worried her male companion would be unhappy because of his presence.
"Your friend?" Shen Siyuan asked.
Ruan Hongzhuang paid attention to Shen Siyuan’s expression, and seeing that he did not seem angry, she let out a sigh of relief in her heart. After a bit of thought, she still nodded. Some things couldn’t be denied; it was better to be honest.
However, she added another sentence.
"Just an ordinary friend."
"Then let’s go over there. It’s not very polite to ignore someone who came to pick you up without even greeting them," Shen Siyuan said as he carried the luggage and walked towards the other person.
Ruan Hongzhuang hurriedly followed, softly explaining, "He’s a college classmate of Taozi and me, but he has been pursuing me, and I didn’t agree – I have no feelings for him."
Ruan Hongzhuang’s words were very tactful, deliberately including Jiang Taoshi to prevent Shen Siyuan from getting the wrong idea.
"So, did Jiang Taoshi tell him you were coming to Xiajing?" Shen Siyuan asked.
Ruan Hongzhuang immediately shook her head.
