The antique girlfriend of a chaebol heir

When Jiang Duo woke up, he smelled the aroma of food as soon as he sat up.

He got dressed and opened the bedroom door, only to see Shen Xiaoming setting the table in the living room.

Seeing that he was awake, Shen Xiaoming greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Jiang is awake! Come and eat."

"Hello, Uncle Shen."

Jiang Duo responded politely.

At this moment, Lin Ruojin came out of the kitchen carrying a steaming bowl of soup.

She looked up and her eyes met Jiang Duo's as he walked out of the bedroom.

My hand wobbled slightly, and the soup almost spilled.

Shen Xiaoming quickly caught her elbow, took the soup from her, and placed it on the table, asking with concern, "Ruojin, did you burn your hand?"

Lin Ruojin shook her head, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

"That's good." Shen Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up and introduced them with a smile, "Ruojin, this is Xiao Jiang, Youyou's boyfriend. This is the first time you've met him."

He turned to Jiang Duo: "Xiao Jiang, this is your Aunt Lin."

Jiang Duo remained calm, nodded slightly, and greeted her politely, "Hello, Aunt Lin."

Lin Ruojin forced a smile: "Hello, Xiao...Jiang, right? Please have a seat."

"Hmm," Jiang Duo responded, pulling out a chair and sitting down.

He looked around the restaurant but didn't see Shen Ci, so he casually asked, "Uncle Shen, where's Youyou?"

"Youyou went downstairs to pick up her package and will be right back."

As Shen Xiaoming spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen. "Please sit down, I'll go get the rice."

Once Shen Xiaoming's figure disappeared behind the kitchen door, the living room instantly fell silent.

Lin Ruojin raised her head and looked directly at Jiang Duo.

She lowered her voice, her tone carrying a hint of scrutiny and surprise:

"Young Master Jiang's presence is truly unexpected."

Although the Lin family and the Jiang family didn't have much contact, Lin Ruojin was still a member of the social circle and had attended many banquets, so she had naturally met Jiang Duo.

She never expected that the "Little Jiang" her husband had been talking about lately would actually be the only son of the Jiang family.

Jiang Duo wasn't surprised that she recognized him; after all, the upper-class circles in Beijing were only so big.

A moment later, Shen Xiaoming came out of the kitchen carrying rice. Jiang Duo got up to greet him, took the bowl from him, and placed it steadily on the table.

He then took the chopsticks and spoons, and arranged them neatly, one by one and handful by handful, turning them around in a circle.

Lin Ruojin watched his movements and was secretly amazed.

Who would have thought that the young master Jiang, who was described by others as aloof and icy, could now act like an ordinary junior, helping to clear the table and set the table.

Just then, the sound of a door opening was heard.

Shen Ci walked in carrying a delivery box.

As she changed her shoes, she looked up and saw Jiang Duo standing by the dining table. She was clearly taken aback: "You're awake."

Jiang Duo walked over, took the package from her hand, and casually ruffled her slightly messy hair: "Okay, waiting for you to eat."

Dinner was a very harmonious meal.

Lin Ruojin listened to her husband calling her "Little Jiang" affectionately from left to right, and looked at Jiang Duo's gentle and refined manner.

Gradually, the turmoil in my heart subsided.

Youyou and Jiang Duo went to the same school, so she must know his identity.

As for things among young people, let's just leave it to fate.

She picked up a piece of green vegetable with her chopsticks, lowered her eyes, and chewed.

She decided not to tell her husband Jiang Duo his true identity yet, so as not to cause him unnecessary trouble and make him uncomfortable.

The new semester quietly began amidst the chilly spring rain.

Early the morning before the start of the school term, Jiang Duo drove to the Shen family's building.

After the black car came to a stop, Jiang Duo opened a large umbrella and sheltered Shen Ci under it, taking her back to school.

The car drove smoothly to the school's parking lot.

The rain hadn't stopped yet. Jiang Duo held Shen Ci's small suitcase with one hand and hooked her pink backpack onto his knuckles with the other, then slung it behind his back.

After doing all this, he turned his head slightly, his gaze falling on Shen Ci, a faint smile playing on his lips. He then took her hand and openly, even somewhat ostentatiously, escorted her all the way to the girls' dormitory.

Shen Ci understood his hidden thoughts perfectly well.

He was using his actions to announce to the students passing by that she was his girlfriend.

Indeed, childish yet domineering...

This time, however, Shen Ci neither dodged nor felt uncomfortable.

At this moment, she was willing to walk side by side with him on the campus road, unafraid of the burning gazes, whether surprised or inquisitive, cast from all directions.

When she got back to her dorm, before she even had a chance to change out of her rain-soaked coat, Chu Xuanxuan and the others immediately surrounded her.

"Xiao Ci, look!"

Li Yueran held up her phone close to her face, her voice filled with excitement:

"The campus network is exploding! It's full of photos of you and Jiang!"

Shen Ci looked down and saw that the screen was full of candid photos of the two of them on campus.

There were photos of him holding an umbrella for her, photos of him carrying a pink backpack, and photos of the two walking side by side downstairs in the dormitory building.

Shen Ci was slightly taken aback, then smiled helplessly.

She had long anticipated that she would receive a lot of attention after her relationship with Jiang Duo became public.

She never expected that the students' gossip was even more intense than she had imagined.

"That's great," Chu Xuanxuan exclaimed from the side, "The whole school knows that our Xiaoci is taken."

……

Shen Ci thought that Jiang Duo's high-profile way of sending her back to her dormitory was enough, which indirectly made their relationship public.

It wasn't until she finished her first class after the semester started, and as the bell rang, as she walked out of the lecture hall, that she saw the figure leaning against the doorframe, patiently waiting for her under everyone's gaze. At that moment, she knew completely—

This guy will definitely become more and more "pushy" in the future.

People were coming and going in the corridor, and Jiang Duo's figure was too eye-catching.

Instead of deliberately avoiding suspicion, he strode straight towards her the moment he saw her come out.

Amidst the surprised or inquisitive gazes of his classmates, he took her hand quite naturally.

Their fingers were intertwined, leaving no room for refusal.

Then he lowered his head slightly, leaned close to her ear, and spoke in a deep, gentle voice, as sweet as honey, with a hint of coquetry:

"Honey, I'm starving! Let's go eat together!"

The way she called out "baby" was so poignant that it instantly made Shen Ci's cheeks flush uncontrollably.

Even with two lifetimes of experience and a good upbringing, Shen Ci couldn't help but mutter to herself:

Shameless...
