Chapter 688

After the meal, Shen Jingjing learned that Jiang Yuanliang hadn't driven today, so she took the initiative to go out and walk him to the entrance of the residential complex.

As soon as the two left, Shen Ci ran sneakily to the side of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room to peek.

Just looking at their backs in the night, they really were inexplicably well-matched.

"Sister, where are Mom and Uncle Jiang?"

At this moment, A-Li came downstairs holding Yoda. Shen Ci tilted her chin toward the outside: "Uncle Jiang is heading back, Mom is walking him to the complex entrance to catch a taxi."

"Then I'll go too, it's a good chance to walk Yoda."

As Shen Li said this, she was about to chase after them, but her sister grabbed her: "Don't go, you take Yoda to the pet park."

A-Li was puzzled: "Why? I want to go for a stroll with Mom."

"Mom has company," Shen Ci said, walking straight to the door to put on her shoes: "You can go for a stroll with Sister."

Shen Li felt her sister was a bit strange, but she didn't think much of it and happily went out with her sister and Yoda.

"A-Li." After leaving the main gate, Shen Ci suddenly looked at her sister and asked: "What do you think of Uncle Jiang?"

"Uncle Jiang is certainly great. I heard Mom say that he has helped our family many times." Shen Li also looked at her sister, her expression serious: "Sister, you are closer to Uncle Jiang, so you must understand him better than I do. And I'm actually a bit afraid of him; although he is a very good person, his status and position are just too high, so I'm a bit afraid to talk to him."

"Sister, why did you suddenly ask me this?"

Shen Ci suppressed the urge and didn't tell her sister her guess just yet: "It's nothing, I was just asking."

On the other side, Shen Jingjing was also walking with Jiang Yuanliang toward the main entrance of the complex.

There had been a heavy snowfall two days ago, and the complex's property management had done a timely job of clearing the roads, even using the snow to pile up a row of snowmen on both sides of the road, which looked exceptionally delightful.

"Before coming to Longcheng, you probably hadn't seen such heavy snow, right?" Jiang Yuanliang looked at the snowmen on the side of the road and turned to ask Shen Jingjing.

Shen Jingjing nodded with a smile: "How could there be winter in Shengang? When I was little and back in my hometown, I could occasionally see snow, but after leaving my hometown, I basically hadn't seen it much."

"The snow in Longcheng is both heavy and beautiful. I like the winter in Longcheng. It's warm inside, and when it snows outside, I like to sit by the window and watch; I can watch for quite a while."

As she said this, the image naturally emerged in Jiang Yuanliang's mind. Just then, Shen Jingjing stepped on a small patch of thin ice remaining on the road, her foot slipped, and her body suddenly tilted backward.

"Ah—"

Shen Jingjing screamed in fright, and almost as a subconscious reflex to seek safety, she reached out to grab Jiang Yuanliang, who was beside her.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuanliang hurriedly reached out to support her, but without time to consider the boundaries of his actions, he scrambled to grab Shen Jingjing's arm, only to lose his own balance, and the two of them fell to the ground together.

"Ugh—"

Jiang Yuanliang let out a muffled groan, feeling his waist hit the curb, which made him gasp in pain.

As for Shen Jingjing, because Jiang Yuanliang's attempt to pull her before falling had increased the resistance during the fall, and because she was dressed thickly for winter, she didn't feel as much pain when she fell.

She immediately asked with concern about Jiang Yuanliang's condition: "Yuanliang, are you okay?"

Jiang Yuanliang gritted his teeth, bit the bullet, and shook his head: "I'm fine. Did you hurt yourself in the fall?"

Shen Jingjing also shook her head and reached out to help Jiang Yuanliang up: "Let me help you up."

After getting up, Shen Jingjing still asked again with concern: "Are you really okay? I saw you fall harder than I did."

"I'm really fine. You have to watch your step when walking from now on. Winter in the north is like this; even if the snow is swept clean, there will still be floating ice on the ground. It's very slippery, and you'll fall if you're not careful."

Seeing that Jiang Yuanliang seemed to be truly fine, Shen Jingjing finally felt at ease.
