A Favor Done, A Husband Won-Chapter 211: Obvious Jealousy!

Shi Su turned her head to say to the person outside the door, "Sorry, I haven’t checked my phone for a while and didn’t notice your WeChat message."

Wei Sinan relaxed upon hearing this and replied, "No worries, I was just a bit concerned when you didn’t reply. I came back earlier and bought some cold medicine and a warming patch. You can open the door and take them inside."

Faced with this sudden concern, Shi Su was about to reply when she suddenly felt a chilly gaze from above her head.

She gathered her thoughts and replied to the outside, "I have cold medicine here. The weather’s been cold lately, and it’s easy for everyone to catch a chill. Keep the medicine just in case, and if I need more, I’ll ask you."

Wei Sinan chuckled kindly from outside, "I’ve noticed you’ve had a cold for several days without getting better. Perhaps the medicine isn’t right. Also, this warming patch is pink—I can’t use it. Just take it in. It’s late, and I understand the need for propriety. I won’t come in. I’ll leave once you take the things."

His words had reached this point, and it would truly be too insensitive not to open the door.

Shi Su was about to turn and open the door just a crack when her waist was suddenly grabbed tight. The man she was holding down abruptly raised his hand, pressing on her waist as a warning.

She immediately raised her hand to cover her waist, glaring at him.

Jing Jihan looked at her without speaking, his gaze calm but his expression icy.

Shi Su paused. She had initially intended to take the items in and be done with it, not wanting to reject someone’s kindness too harshly, but Jing Jihan’s warning gaze suddenly made her think more clearly.

Considering that she really had no interest in the person outside the door, and that while Wei Sinan took good care of her, such proactive care could lead to misunderstandings if not nipped in the bud. Unnecessary ambiguity benefits no one.

"I just showered and haven’t changed clothes yet, so it’s really inconvenient to open the door now. When we go to the set the day after tomorrow, you can give the warming patch to Chujiu. Thanks, and get some rest. Good night!" Her tone was quick, with clear intent to refuse.

With Shi Su saying this, Wei Sinan didn’t press further, "Alright, I’ll head back then."

The hallway outside was carpeted, so it was hard to hear if footsteps were leaving, but from her understanding of Wei Sinan, he didn’t seem like someone who would persist excessively, so he likely had left.

Only then did she quickly break free from Jing Jihan’s embrace, wanting to return to her meal.

Otherwise, it would get cold if left too long.

The man who had originally been cornered by her against the wall now had her waist pinned against him as she tried to step back. The grip on her waist hadn’t loosened.

She glanced up, meeting Jing Jihan’s deep, steady black eyes.

Even though he had first been pressed against the wall by her, he stood tall and stern, looking down at her due to their height difference, with not a hint of fluctuation in his gaze.

Perhaps it was because they had known each other long enough, but Shi Su could tell that this seemingly emotionless Jing Jihan was the most dangerous.

She gestured towards the table with her eyes, indicating she hadn’t finished eating, "I’m not full yet. Zhou He specifically bought it for me, and it won’t taste good if it gets cold."

Obviously, Jing Jihan didn’t plan to let it go that easily, but Shi Su persisted in casting glances toward the table, clearly wanting to eat, and his phone vibrated again in his pocket.

The grip on her waist loosened, and Shi Su quickly rushed back to the table in a few quick steps, sitting down to enjoy her special dish—Jing Jihan’s homemade tomato beef rice.

Jing Jihan picked up his phone and glanced at it, finding a WeChat message.

Shi Su was still happily stuffing her mouth with food when a familiar, milk-sweet voice suddenly filled the air, "Uncle Ji Han, Grandma Qin gave me a bath and put on nice-smelling lotion. I’m about to go to sleep. Good night, Uncle! Love you, mwah mwah!"

Shi Su was about to continue shoveling food into her mouth when she abruptly paused, shocked, turning to look at the man holding the phone.

That voice clearly came from his phone.

Shi Su stared at Jing Jihan, who had smoothly raised his phone and gently pressed the voice message button on WeChat, replying softly, "Good night."

Shi Su: "???"

"Who is Mianmian using to contact you on WeChat?"

Shi Su couldn’t believe it. That little rascal Shi Mianmian never even had the habit of saying goodnight to her every night, yet behind her back, she sweetly said goodnight to Jing Jihan every day!

The jealousy of a mother made Shi Su suddenly lose her appetite. She stabbed her chopsticks forcefully into her food container, glaring at the man walking toward her.

"Lu Zhao gave Mianmian a children’s watch with a GPS function and WeChat chat feature. He also helped bind WeChat to the watch number for Mianmian." Jing Jihan watched her as she vigorously poked her food container.

"How come I didn’t know about this?"

"Lu Zhao delivered it after you left Jiang City."

"No, I mean, how come I didn’t know that Shi Mianmian had WeChat? She didn’t even add me!"

Shi Su’s jealousy was palpable!

Very palpable!

Extremely jealous!

Incredibly unbelievable!

"Lu Zhao set me as the first contact on Mianmian’s children’s watch. The watch system automatically adds the default guardian. She might not know how to add you." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Jing Jihan’s voice was consistently calm, as if being automatically set as Mianmian’s guardian by a watch system was no big deal—as if it should be that way, with nothing wrong at all.

"..."

Shi Su sulkily scooped a big bite of rice into her mouth, chewing hard.

Traitorous Mianmian!

Even if she didn’t know how to add her, she hadn’t mentioned in calls that Uncle Lu had given her a phone watch, or even that she said goodnight to Jing Jihan every day, not once.

The little rascal was plainly afraid she would forbid nightly goodnights to Uncle Ji Han.

A four-year-old kid, daring to keep secrets from her!

Since birth, Shi Mianmian had been adored for her cuteness and charming antics. Abroad, countless people liked her, but the little girl’s personality was quite proud, not easily showing favor or liking just anyone. Whether a stranger uncle or a little boy at her kindergarten showed her kindness, she often turned and ignored them.

What magic does Jing Jihan have?

Enough to make Shi Mianmian betray her lovely, beautiful mother...

After a few more bites, she suddenly asked, "Did Mianmian ever mention me when messaging you on WeChat?"

She had to salvage her last shred of dignity as the biological mom.

Jing Jihan didn’t say anything but directly handed her the phone.

Hesitantly, Shi Su took the all-black phone, its screen still lit, without needing a password input, and immediately saw Mianmian’s Peppa Pig icon. Besides the recent voice message, there were all kinds of cute, adorable emoji Mianmian had sent.
