Beijing-Hong Kong Affair

Chapter 90 Questioning
Jiang Yunian glanced at his watch and realized that Lin Xian had been out for ten minutes and the candles on the cake were almost half burned.

"I'll go find Ah Xian."

Jiang Yunian stood up and left the table, opened the door of the box, found the bathroom, but found that Lin Xian was not there.

Her cell phone was still in the box, and Jiang Yunian had no way to contact her, so he had to ask the store clerk to help find it.

"Are you talking about the pretty girl in the white sweater? She seemed a little dizzy, so the manager took her to the lounge. Sorry, I thought she told you."

Jiang Yunian breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, I'll go find her myself." (Thank you, I'll go find her myself.)
This restaurant is Michelin three stars and has its own lounge.

When Jiang Yunian went over, Lin Xian had just stood up and was about to come out, and the two bumped into each other head-on.

Jiang Yunian reached out and held her firmly, "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want us to go back first?"

Lin Xian raised her eyes to look at Jiang Yunian and forced a smile: "Haven't you eaten the cake yet? Go back and eat the cake before leaving. I just felt a little uncomfortable and came here to rest."

In fact, she really wanted to ask Jiang Yunian if he was tired of pretending like this.

But neither her reason nor her emotions allowed her to say such words.

The doubts in her heart kept piling up and tormenting her over and over again. Even though she had been quiet for so long, there was no solution.

Jiang Yunian held her shoulders and said, "Ah Xian, we are husband and wife. You can tell me anything. Husband and wife should share the joys and sorrows together."

Lin Xian just thought this sentence was a huge joke.

Her eyes were cold as she stared at Jiang Yunian's seemingly affectionate eyes. "Really? Then why don't you tell me, Doctor Jiang, about your relationship with Jiang Mingzhe? Or should I call you Young Master Jiang?"

The back of Jiang Yunian's hands were stiff. He had wanted to confess his secrets countless times, but now they were exposed in public by Lin Xian. For a moment, he was speechless.

Lin Xian's face was calm and her tone was calm, "Let's go back and eat first. After we send Jian Shiya away, we'll have a good chat."

Jiang Yunian's hand was taken away by Lin Xian, and his heart suddenly tightened.

When Lin Xian discovered Chen Ji's incident, she was completely out of control. Why is she so calm now?

He didn’t know if it was Jiang Yunian’s illusion, but he always felt that Lin Xian’s behavior at this moment was like the calm before the storm, but he didn’t know when it would explode.

When Lin Xian walked past Jiang Yunian, he reached out and grabbed Lin Xian's wrist, "Ah Xian, listen to my explanation. I didn't hide this from you on purpose."

Lin Xian glanced at him sideways, with mixed emotions in her eyes, "Are you sure we want to talk about this here?"

Jiang Yunian quickly let go of his hand and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you and tell you when we get back."

When the two returned to the box, Shen Mengnan and Jian Shiya were chatting animatedly.

Jian Shiya has a generous personality and started drinking with Shen Mengnan.

Shen Mengnan couldn't hold his alcohol well, so he cheated and escaped. When he saw Lin Xian coming in, he quickly shouted, "Sister Xian'er, come over and help your brother Nan say a few good words to Xiaoya, so that she won't force me to drink."

Lin Xian pulled a chair over and sat next to Jian Shiya, "He has a strong appetite for food, so you should hold back."

Jian Shiya raised her eyebrows, shook her hair and looked at Shen Mengnan, "Are you a man? If you are a man, drink it! Don't be a woman, I tell you, I hate men who are indecisive and act like a der the most."

Shen Mengnan was aroused by the man's desire to win, "Don't compare your ex-boyfriend with me. At least I am upright and never lie. I never brag. If I can do it, then it's fine. If I can't do it, then it's not possible."

Lin Xian's eyes moved, and she handed the cup to Jian Shiya, "Pour me a cup."

Jian Shiya looked at her with some doubt, "Isn't it that you can't drink?"

"I'm happy today and want to have a drink."

Jian Shiya poured Lin Xian a cup and asked Jiang Yunian, "Doctor Jiang, do you want some?"

Jiang Yunian shook his head, "I'm going to drive soon, so I won't drink."

His eyes followed Lin Xian, not missing any of her subtle expressions. She decided to drink after hearing what Shen Mengnan said.

She was implicitly endorsing Shen Mengnan's words and counterattacking herself.

A trace of bitterness passed through Jiang Yunian's heart. If he had known this day would come, why had he kept it a secret?

There were so many opportunities to explain it clearly, but now you are being too clever and are trapping yourself in a cocoon.

"Ah Xian, blow out the candles and make a wish first, and I'll light them for you again."

Lin Xian ignored Jiang Yunian, clinked glasses with Jian Shiya, and drank half a glass of red wine.

It was Jian Shiya who took over the conversation. "Doctor Jiang, you must take good care of my Xianbao. It is very, very difficult for her to open her heart to you. She has suffered too much."

Lin Xian turned her head away, and the tears she had been holding back all night finally rolled down.

Jian Shiya thought she was thinking about the past, so she hugged her tightly and said, "Don't cry, dear. All the hardships in the past are in the past, and our future will be sweet."

Even when Lin Xian was crying, she was quiet and peaceful.

Shen Mengnan was completely out of the situation. He lowered his voice and asked Jiang Yunian, "Why are you crying?"

Jiang Yunian's expression was stiff. He stood up silently, put the cake in front of Lin Xian, and put the birthday hat on her head. "Ah Xian, happy birthday."

Lin Xian just said this dryly without any response.

Shen Mengnan quickly stood up to liven up the atmosphere, "Come on, let's sing a song for the birthday boy, and wish our birthday boy a happy birthday every year."

"Thank you. I won't celebrate my birthday anymore."

Lin Xian adjusted her mood and blew out the candles directly without making a wish or performing any ceremony.

Jiang Yunian felt as if his heart was stabbed by a needle. He should be the closest person to her, but he made her so sad on her birthday.

Jiang Yunian felt that he had lived in vain for the past thirty years. His self-confidence collapsed in front of her. He couldn't even find the right words to comfort Lin Xian.

Jian Shiya thought of Jiang Yunian's proposal to Lin Xian, and quickly winked at Shen Mengnan, "I heard that Gangcheng Bar is great, Dr. Shen, would you like to take me to see it?"

Just as Shen Mengnan was about to say that he couldn't drink anymore, Jian Shiya put her hand on the back of his hand and squeezed it hard.

"Ah! Okay. Xian'er, don't worry, I'll take good care of your classmates for you. If you're busy, you can go first."

Jiang Yunian was extremely grateful to the two for giving him a way out. He bent down to pick up Lin Xian's coat and phone, "Ah Xian, let's go home first."

Without taking a bite of the exquisite cake, Lin Xian stood up, asked Shen Mengnan to take good care of Jian Shiya, and let Jiang Yunian hold her hand and go out.

She didn't want Jian Shiya to come all the way here and worry about her.

She can handle her own affairs.

After leaving the box, Lin Xian pulled back her hand and said, "Let's find a place to talk. I don't want to go home."

She has no home.

She originally thought that the house was rented, but happiness was her own.

Only now do I realize that this happiness was actually fake, and was performed for her by a man.

I have no idea what Jiang Yunian’s mental activities are. There is no trace of acting at all and his performance is very natural.

Jiang Yunian felt a pang of pain in his heart, "Ah Xian, I can assure you that apart from hiding my family background from you, I have never told you any other lies."

Lin Xian pulled a self-deprecating smile at the corner of her mouth, "Jiang Yunian, do you think I would believe it? With such a good family background, do you need to find someone to fake a marriage to deal with your family? Do you know that your marriage partner has come to me!"
