Chapter 371: Chapter 371 Divorce and Resignation_1
How interesting!
I never thought there would come a day when I would become the third wheel to Ding Yinuo and Jiang Jiaying.
Sitting here, I feel as if I’m in the way.
The atmosphere at one point was unbearably awkward.
“Uh… you got off work so early today?”
Ding Yinuo and I were sitting opposite each other on the sofa, neither of us speaking.
Unexpectedly, it was Jiang Jiaying who broke the silence.
I glanced at her and responded, “Yeah!”
“How’s the company running these days?”
Jiang Jiaying sat down, picked an orange from the fruit bowl, and began to peel it slowly.
Once she had finished, she plucked a slice and stuffed it into Ding Yinuo’s mouth.
This gesture appeared ordinary, with no flaws to be seen.
But what puzzled me was that Ding Yinuo actually opened his mouth and ate it.
Their actions were in perfect harmony.
As if they had been intimate for a long time.
This scene deeply stung my eyes.
I could only pretend not to see it.
Just then, Ding Yinuo’s mother came in. She witnessed this scene and quickly snatched the orange from Jiang Jiaying’s hand.
While stuffing it into her own mouth, she laughed and said,
“This orange was bought by me, the stall owner said it was very sweet, I’m going to try one myself.”
Then she took another one and handed it to Ding Yinuo,
“You’re not handless, peel one for yourself.”
“I don’t want it!”
Yet Ding Yinuo’s mother was very stubborn, insisting that Ding Yinuo should peel it,
“Peel one for me!”
Unable to overrule his mother, Ding Yinuo had to do it himself. After peeling it, he handed it to her, “There you go.”
“Hey, don’t give it to me, give it to your wife!”
Ding Yinuo’s mother motioned towards me.
Ding Yinuo glanced at me, his eyes filled with reluctance.
Nevertheless, he still handed me the peeled orange.
The so-called handing it to me was just placing it on the table in front of me.
“Uh, Auntie, is dinner ready? I can help you out,” Jiang Jiaying actually began to ingratiate herself with Ding Yinuo’s mother, putting down her pride to ask for an apron.
Ding Yinuo’s mother naturally refused her,
“No need, no need, it’s all small stuff, I can handle it.”
“What dishes does Yinuo like to eat? Teach me, so I can cook for him. Usually, when he comes home, he’s happy with your cooking. But at the hospital, it’s all cafeteria food, and he doesn’t eat well, leading to an upset stomach and a decreased immune system. Therefore, I want to learn from you, so he can also eat well at the hospital.”
Ding Yinuo’s mother flatly denied her,
“How well he eats should be taken care of by his wife, it’s not quite right for outsiders to intervene. Miss Jiang, you’re not married either, if rumors spread, it wouldn’t be good for you.”
Although Jiang Jiaying couldn’t save face, she did not get angry, just smiled,
“Auntie, it’s okay, I’m not afraid of gossip. I’m quite resilient, and don’t care what others say.”
But Ding Yinuo’s mother laughed and said,
“You might not mind, but Ayun would feel troubled by it! After all, she’s the Ding Family’s second daughter-in-law, right? So, people should not be so selfish, always thinking of others, not just doing things for your own happiness that might hurt others.”
Ding Yinuo’s mother’s words were very powerful.
After hearing them, Jiang Jiaying’s face immediately showed she was upset.
Her expression was extremely unnatural.
However, she quickly regained her composure.
Just in time, Ding Yinuo’s mother finished cooking, and she instructed everyone to start eating together.
To avoid the awkwardness of choosing seats later, I went to the children’s room first to find Ding Ruirui.
I played with Ruirui for a while, figuring that by then everyone else should have taken their seats, so I carried Ruirui out with me.
Just as I reached the dining room, I saw Jiang Jiaying about to sit down.
