Hubby's Deep Love Will Never Change-Chapter 96 This Kind of Trend Should be Encouraged_1

On the road, Jin Xiangnan didn’t ask about what had happened. It was like an old friend meeting, he asked Eleven, "When did you come back, Eleven? Why didn’t you contact your brother?"

"Come back?...I never left Xicheng." Eleven said with a soft laugh.

There was a pause, "You were in Xicheng the whole time? That year ——"

He seemed to recall something and abruptly stopped talking.

Eleven didn’t mention the events of that year either, pretending as if he hadn’t said anything and changed the topic, "I remember Brother South, you also went to the United States for further study. When did you come back?"

"I only just came back at the beginning of this year, you..." Jin Xiangnan replied and then paused.

Clearly, something had happened between Eleven and his younger brother.

But with such an atmosphere, he didn’t know where to start asking. What could he ask which would be appropriate?

"Oh..." Eleven nodded as if she had understood.

Then no one in the car spoke, creating an awkward silence.

Jin Xiangnan was driving, occasionally glancing at the rear-view mirror. He saw his younger brother staring intensely at Eleven who was in the passenger seat. He was somewhat worried.

Several years ago, they were just a few more years away from the age of discussing marriage. The family, after their initial objection to Eleven, didn’t say anything afterward. It seemed like they believed Eleven would become part of the Jin family sooner or later.

Eleven was easy to get along with. As a big brother, Jin Xiangnan always liked this prospective sister-in-law. They usually got along well, so their relationship was harmonious.

But unexpectedly, that incident happened, and then Eleven...disappeared.

The situation was really hard to explain.

"Eleven, do you have time tonight, I’d like to invite you to dinner."

Before Eleven could answer, Jin Xiangbei interjected from behind: "She doesn’t have time!"

"Let Eleven answer for herself!" Jin Xiangnan said.

But Jin Xiangbei ignored him, stating directly. "She is going to accompany me to a banquet tonight, right?"

Eleven turned around, her face expressing disbelief as she looked at him, but she was lost for words.

When had she agreed to attend the banquet with him, and even in the capacity of his date?

"Little North, I remember you said the banquet was too boring. You decided not to go."

The party tonight was a birthday bash for a bureaucrat’s daughter. Jin Xiangbei, as one of the favored candidates, had absolutely no interest in appearing.

His sudden change of mind and wanting to take Eleven along set Jin Xiangnan on alert. He was worried about what Jin Xiangbei was up to.

"There will surely be journalists there. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to take Eleven? Everyone knows that Yao Ruoshui is your fiancée."

Jin Xiangbei cut off Eleven as she was about to speak: "She said she wants to conduct a social research investigation. In this era, college students want to achieve success through shortcuts, selling themselves to successful businessmen. We need to correct such trend, right, Eleven? As your ex-boyfriend, I should help you with this, shouldn’t I?"

Eleven bit her lip, her hands clutching the hem of her clothes.

He was threatening her.

Jin Xiangnan turned his head to look at her: "Is that so, Eleven?"

Eleven’s smile grew tense, but she still nodded her head, with a strained smile saying, "Yes, there is such a research project. It’s a bit troublesome for North. As for dinner, let’s do it some other time, Brother South. To apologize, I will treat you."

"No need, no need." Jin Xiangnan also broke into a smile, "How can we let a lady treat us? I’ll treat you when you’re free. Give me your phone." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Eleven gave a small laugh and handed him her phone.
