Chapter 137 Not as Interesting as Me

Jiang Xilin has always given Duan Ke enough respect. Duan Ke used to think that Jiang Xilin was a good person, but now, she has to wonder if Jiang Xilin's calmness towards her means that he has no feelings for her.

Although we are called partners, it seems that there is really no difference between us and partners.

Duan Ke couldn't help but get angry. It was rare for her to speak to him in a bad tone. "You said you were letting me choose, but aren't you still forcing me to go public? If you don't plan to break up with her, how can I be happy if I continue to pretend to be a couple with you and let me watch you two interact with each other?"

Jiang Xilin didn't think this was a difficult task.

"Since you're unhappy, you can choose a suitable time to tell me that we've broken up. Then, no matter what I do, you won't have to endure it just because of our superficial relationship."

He responded to the situation quickly and calmly, "We discussed these matters when we broke up. Even if we make them public now, we will still cooperate if necessary. You don't have to worry about any repercussions."

Duan Ke felt dizzy and pinched her palms hard. Yes, they had agreed on those words a long time ago. She had always thought so for so long, but at this moment, she felt as if something was different.

What she accepted was that if he had someone he liked, they would naturally make their relationship public, and she could bless him and explain the situation.

Now what?

For a woman who had been divorced for several years, he just wanted to take revenge on her.

Duan Ke really didn't understand what Jiang Xilin was trying to do.

He refused to tell her.

Duan Ke heard the sound of her own breathing and asked her, "What are you going to do if I say I want to continue?"

Jiang Xilin sat there, his posture steady, even his tone didn't fluctuate much. Facing Duan Ke's question, he answered her: "Duan Zhen's side needs your help."

This is not what Duan Ke wants to hear.

"What about you and Miss Shen? Today, only Duan Zhen saw you. If someone else saw you in the future, how would you explain it?"

The more she spoke, the more emotional she became. In the end, she couldn't control her dissatisfaction. "When the time comes, should I admit to others that Miss Shen is the mistress, or should I explain to her that we broke up a long time ago and I am just a decoration with a false reputation?"

Duan Ke deliberately used sharp words. She wanted to see if she could force Jiang Xilin and Chen Congyu to break up.

It was rare for him to have such a sharp conversation with her. Jiang Xilin frowned slowly and looked at the woman in front of him who refused to give in.

He had said everything he needed to say, and he didn't have the patience to continue.

He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, then said coldly, "Then it ends from today. Go out and tell your sister that we broke up a long time ago. It's not her turn to question who I am involved with."

There was no warmth in his words, and Duan Ke felt a chill in his heart.

She knew that Jiang Xilin's good temper was usually towards the people around him, and he had a side that was difficult to approach. She never expected that one day he would speak to her like this.

There was a long silence, and Jiang Xilin broke it first. "How is it? Have you thought about it?"

Duan Ke shuddered and focused his attention.

She tried her best to ignore the indifference on his face and asked him, "Is there really no room for change?"

"What do you think?"

"Okay, I understand." Duan Ke's throat was dry, and she had no time to care. "Let me go back and think about it. As for Zhenzhen, I'll make her shut up."

She said she wanted to leave, and Jiang Xilin didn't say a word to try to stop her.

She walked out of the room stiffly. Duan Zhen was still waiting at the door. She came up to her and asked through gritted teeth, "What's wrong, sister? How did Brother Jiang explain it?"

Duan Ke weakly raised his eyelids to look at her.

Duan Zhen felt something was wrong. "What's wrong? Why do you look like that? Is Brother Jiang denying it? I'm going to question him!"

She said she was going to open the door, but Duan Ke grabbed her tightly and said, "Don't go, let's go over and talk."

The noise at the door of the room quickly disappeared. The door was so soundproof that Chen Congyu and Wen Song didn't hear anything effective.

Wen Song said, "Did you deal with Jiang Xilin? Otherwise, Duan Zhen would have rushed over and told you to get out."

Chen Congyu managed to regain his composure, “Except for the two of them, who else knows how to say it.”

It is not the right time for her to ask Jiang Xilin now.

There was a noisy sound coming from the garden downstairs, but Shen Congyu had no time to care and wanted to leave.

Wen Song: "Let's go, I'll go tell Zhou Zhou, we'll go back first."

"Aren't you playing here anymore?"

"There are so many people here. I've said everything I need to say to Zhou Zhou and given him the gift. There's no point in me staying here any longer."

Wen Song picked up the bag and suddenly remembered, "Where are Zhou Yuye's clothes?"

Shen Congyu pursed her lips, “Still next door.”

"You have to take it. We can't let this accident happen tonight and lose the connection we worked so hard to get." Wen Song added, "I'll see if Jiang Xilin has left and find a way to get the coat out."

She was so excited that Shen Congyu had no time to think about anything else.

After changing clothes, the two stayed in the room for another ten minutes. Wen Song went out first, and not long after, she came back with Zhou Yuye's coat.

“I don’t know where Jiang Xilin went, there’s no one next door,” Wen Song handed the clothes to Chen Congyu, “Take it, let’s go.”

Chen Congyu really wanted to ask Jiang Xilin what he had told Duan Ke, but she was not sure whether he would be with Duan Ke. In order to avoid adding fuel to the fire, she had to find a chance to ask tomorrow.

When the two of them left, they specifically told Zhou Zhou something. Zhou Zhou was having fun, and although he really wanted Wen Song to stay, seeing that she was determined to leave, he had the annoying intention of stopping her.

"Okay, do you want me to find a driver to take you there?"

Shen Congyu said: “No, I can drive.”

Zhou Zhou nodded and said casually, "Do you think my arrangements are not good? Why are you leaving right after Sister Duan Ke and the others left? We have other things to do later."

"The Duan sisters are gone too?"

"Yeah, about ten minutes ago."

Chen Congyu and Wen Song exchanged a glance. Chen Congyu probably knew that Zhou Zhou knew about her and Jiang Xilin. Zhou Zhou was not the kind of person who would say anything nonsense, so she simply asked him directly: "Where is Jiang Xilin?"

Zhou Zhou thought for a moment and pointed in a direction, "My uncle is looking for him. They went over there to talk. I guess they are discussing work." As for any man who has a close relationship with Jiang Xilin, Shen Congyu doesn't want to get involved with such a man from the bottom of her heart, even Zhou Yu.

Because she was afraid that Jiang Xilin would find out before she had a chance to have anything happen with the other party.

It’s similar to Hu Zi’s situation.

The only good thing about Zhou Yu is that he is not particularly familiar with Jiang Xilin.

Chen Congyu had nothing to ask and was about to leave, but Wen Song pulled Zhou Zhou aside and asked, "What's your uncle's WeChat? Please tell me."

Zhou Zhou showed a reluctant expression, "Sister, you don't like my uncle, right? He's a boring guy, not as interesting as me..."

"Be good, sister also thinks you are interesting."

"Then you also want his WeChat."

Wen Song couldn't say that she was asking for it for Chen Congyu, so she casually said, "What are you thinking about? I have a friend who likes Mr. Zhou and I want to help him."
