After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?-Chapter 83: Insignificant People

Chen Shaojie bought a lot of things. Shi Yu had her own income, so she didn’t hesitate to accept them.

She received them calmly, "Mr. Chen, you’ve gone out of your way."

Usually articulate, Chen Shaojie was now very nervous, waving his hand, "It’s no trouble."

Then he didn’t know what to say anymore.

Shen Qingqing’s gaze wandered between the two of them, carrying a scrutinizing air.

Chen Shaojie’s face was full of bashfulness, his ears so red they seemed about to bleed.

Shi Yu felt a bit uneasy, but was more curious about Chen Shaojie, subtly observing him.

It seemed that her first impression was quite good.

If they really could end up together, it would be a good thing, and Shen Qingqing felt quite pleased.

She teased Chen Shaojie with a smile, "In such cold weather, you let a female comrade carry heavy things. Shi Yu’s hands are all red from the cold."

Chen Shaojie was quick to respond and hurriedly went to take the things from Shi Yu’s hands.

"Sorry, I wasn’t thoughtful enough."

Seeing how nervous he was, Shi Yu actually relaxed.

She decisively handed over the items to Chen Shaojie.

"Mr. Chen, thank you for your hard work."

Chen Shaojie had trained for many years and was in excellent physical condition. Carrying such small things was no problem for him; even carrying a sandbag all day would be fine.

As she spoke, Shi Yu let go of Shen Qingqing’s arm.

Jiang Zhixun’s face was expressionless, but he had taken in what Shen Qingqing said earlier.

He went to take the bag off Shen Qingqing’s shoulder and said stiffly, "Next time, don’t go out with a bag."

Her injury hadn’t healed; what if she accidentally strained it?

Shen Qingqing held back repeatedly.

But couldn’t hold it any longer.

She rolled her eyes, "Can you have some self-awareness?"

Which divorced couple would be as entangled as he was?

Jiang Zhixun knew his behavior was shameless and said awkwardly, "You’re a patient."

The untimely concern made Shen Qingqing feel irritated.

Just a few days ago, he had returned to normal and stopped bothering her; what had made him lose it today?

Shi Yu couldn’t focus on observing Chen Shaojie anymore.

She took Shen Qingqing’s bag with one hand and held her arm with the other.

She said sarcastically, "I used to think some people were blind, turns out I misunderstood. It’s strange, how can a person’s vision be sometimes good and sometimes bad?"

Jiang Zhixun had a stunned expression, unable to believe someone would mock him like this.

Instinctively, he looked at Shen Qingqing.

The result was that she didn’t come to his defense; instead, she nodded as if considering, "Not sure if it’s blindness, but lacking insight definitely is."

"Shen Qingqing."

Jiang Zhixun’s tone was calm, his sharp eyes showing disapproval.

If there was a problem, they could lay it all out and discuss.

Sarcastic remarks, besides venting emotions, did no good.

Shi Yu wasn’t as easygoing as Shen Qingqing.

She stepped forward, blocking his path, "What, do you want to curse at me or hit me?"

Jiang Zhixun didn’t answer the question.

He just kept staring at Shen Qingqing, "Is this what you truly think of me?"

If it wasn’t her opinion, why would Shi Yu think so?

Jiang Zhixun didn’t care how others saw him and wasn’t afraid of rumors.

But Shen Qingqing’s attitude was something he couldn’t ignore.

The feeling of being stifled swept over him again, and Jiang Zhixun really wanted to ask Shen Qingqing.

What exactly happened to her? Why did she suddenly seem like a changed person?

The Shen Qingqing of the past wasn’t like this!

"Why are you looking at her? Do you think Qingqing has a good temper and you want to bully her again?"

Jiang Zhixun waited for a long time but didn’t hear Shen Qingqing refute it.

So she really thought this way.

He suddenly laughed in anger.

"Who exactly is bullying whom?"

Jiang Zhixun was already difficult to get along with, and his current demeanor was even more unnerving.

Shi Yu felt a chill run down her spine.

She thought to herself, Shen Qingqing surely liked challenges a bit too much to take an interest in such a cold man.

Wasn’t this just putting herself through suffering?

Shen Qingqing didn’t want to argue with Jiang Zhixun, nor did she want Shi Yu to be troubled.

She proactively held Shi Yu’s arm, "He’s irrelevant, why waste time with him?"

Shi Yu gave Shen Qingqing a knowing look, eyes expressing: You’re the capable one.

This ex-husband... his face had turned black!

Jiang Zhixun knew he wasn’t welcome, but hadn’t expected Shen Qingqing to use such words on him.

Irrelevant...

Even for ordinary friends, it’s unnecessary to be so hurtful, right?

He didn’t want to see Shen Qingqing’s cold face anymore.

His tone allowed no refusal, "Give me the key, I’ll take your things back to the compound first."

His visit wasn’t for Chen Shaojie’s matchmaking.

Nor was it to stick to Shen Qingqing.

He had only one purpose, which was to make Shen Qingqing move back to the compound.

A woman living alone outside was unsafe, especially since she was now sick and couldn’t take care of herself.

This matter was non-negotiable.

He absolutely couldn’t let her act recklessly!

Jiang Zhixun’s face showed determination, leaving no room for discussion. Seeing her not taking action, he even thought of finding the key himself.

Even with the best temper, Shen Qingqing was driven crazy by him.

"We’ve already divorced, can you stop doing things that irritate people?"

"I know we’re divorced. You don’t need to remind me over and over again."

His words were almost gritted out.

"Since you know, please keep your distance from me."

Shen Qingqing didn’t want to entangle with him any longer and bluntly stated, "I will return to the compound and see a doctor, but as long as you’re there, I will never go back, nor will I go to the hospital with you."

"Jiang Zhixun, please recognize your own position. Your one-sided efforts bring me nothing but trouble and annoyance."

"If you want my illness to worsen, then keep shamelessly coming every day to add to my frustration."

She spoke faster and faster, showing signs of losing control over her emotions.

Jiang Zhixun tightened the hand hanging at his side but still couldn’t restrain the stabs of pain.

It erupted from his heart, rapidly spreading throughout his body.

Being rejected and verbally attacked by the one he loved—so this was what it felt like.

A cold wind blew by, making his eyes sting, and suddenly they turned red.

He asked unwillingly, "You’d rather be tortured by illness than see me?"

Shen Qingqing’s eyes were resolute, "Yes."

"Alright."

With just that one word, Jiang Zhixun turned and left.

He walked away quickly, not even saying a word to Chen Shaojie.

Shen Qingqing didn’t know what he meant.

She pressed her lips together, ultimately choosing to ignore Jiang Zhixun’s feelings.

He was already an adult and didn’t need others to worry unnecessarily.

Besides, they were divorced and should not be entangled.

Chen Shaojie and Shi Yu exchanged looks, not knowing what to say.

Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun’s issues seemed very complex; as outsiders, they really couldn’t intervene.

Fearing she was in a bad mood, Shi Yu took the initiative to ask Chen Shaojie, "Do you have any plans today? How about the three of us go see a movie? The cinema is nearby, and if there’s time afterward, we could take a walk in the park?"

When it comes to matchmaking, the goal is to make the other person happy.

Shi Yu’s suggestion was something Chen Shaojie agreed to unconditionally.

Moreover, Miss Shen’s condition wasn’t suitable for wandering around the park.

Perhaps the more they walked, the more she would overthink.

Watching a movie would be good to distract her!
