Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400: Chapter 396: As Expected, Drinking Causes Trouble

——————

Although Jiang Xiaoying is not very beautiful, she isn’t ugly either. For Xie Jingyang, she makes a good wife and a good mother.

He had passed the age of craving tender and beautiful youth; his priority was very pragmatically based on character.

Xiaoqi and Xiao Si both got along well with Jiang Xiaoying, which was a crucial point that he could express directly.

"I..." Xie Jingyang hadn’t started to retort when she suddenly shook him off, disappearing in a blink of an eye at the stairwell, while he, dizzy from drinking, was too slow to stop Jiang Xiaoying’s escape.

"I am serious about this..."

Indeed, drinking causes trouble!

He was too impulsive!

Xie Jingyang slumped down weakly, moving one hand, realizing he was still tightly holding onto his glass. Remembering that this water was brought to him by Xiao Ying, Xie Jingyang finally felt a bit of strength returning. He slowly drank the water, while his mind replayed the earlier events, wondering where he had gone wrong that made Jiang Xiaoying avoid him like a snake?

Though dizzy, he could still clearly see Jiang Xiaoying’s facial expressions - her fleeting pain and pleading - he perceived that.

But this put Xie Jingyang in a difficult position; being a man, even though he was divorced, nobody talked behind his back about what was right or wrong. Thus, he had never truly empathized with Jiang Xiaoying’s situation.

After all, as soon as he took the job, he was a permanent employee, with his educational credentials visible, clearly in a position due to connections. His colleagues were friendly towards him, all in a state of observation, none would offend him.

Moreover, Xie Jingyang was truly sunny and bright in appearance. At just twenty-five, he looked like a handsome young man in his early twenties, quite appealing to women’s eyes.

And being tall and well-built, his body was muscular due to prolonged farming work, which made him look strong and vigorous. Isn’t he in his twenties, just the type mature women adore?!

Such a man, with a respectable job and good appearance, even though divorced, was still considered a good husband material.

Coincidentally, post the year 1977, divorce in the county town was not a big deal; many urban-returning youths were divorced...

Of course, what most women didn’t know was that Xie Jingyang had two children behind him, one boy and one girl, making a perfect "good" character.

Knowing this, they wouldn’t just feel chilled but would also step back.

Unsure why Jiang Xiaoying was so wary of him, overwhelmed by the alcohol, he collapsed onto the couch, drifting into a drowsy sleep...

When Xie Jingzi returned upstairs and passed through the living room, seeing her fifth brother lying asleep on the couch, she didn’t think much of it. It was too hot, and the men in the Xie family often slept on the floor when it was warm, let alone just sleeping on a wooden couch.

At that weight of her fifth brother, how could she, alone, help him into the room?

Xie Jingzi just took a shower and went to bed.

Upstairs, Jiang Xiaoying couldn’t sleep. As soon as she went upstairs, she moved to a temporary compartment on the third floor that was partitioned with furniture and curtains - just enough for her alone.

Inside, the male homeowner was definitely there, with the door closed, she didn’t feel right to barge in.
