Chapter 222 There is a reason

Before returning to the beach, Yuan Qi called Chen Congyu over to talk alone.

He looked like an eggplant hit by frost, wilted and as if he had been beaten.

"Sister, there is something I want to tell you."

Chen Congyu was actually amused by his state, "What's wrong? Why are you so serious?"

Yuan Qi leaned against the table behind him and asked Chen Congyu very seriously: "Can I pursue you?"

He suddenly spoke so bluntly that Shen Congyu was caught off guard.

"Why are you suddenly saying this?"

"I'm serious because I don't want to keep it in my heart."

Yuan Qi's eyes were focused on Chen Congyu's appearance, "Sister, do you hate me?"

Chen Congyu said honestly: "I don't hate you, I think you are very good."

This answer made Yuan Qi's eyes light up, "Do you agree to let me pursue you?"

Chen Congyu didn't know why he was so anxious all of a sudden, and it didn't seem to be part of his plan.

It seems that Xue Mingrui really guessed right.

But Chen Congyu still felt a little uncertain.

She replied to Yuan Qi seriously: "It's too fast now, don't you think? We've only known each other for a short time, and we're not familiar enough to know each other very well."

"But I know very well that I want to continue to understand you. I feel very happy with you and I want to continue. Isn't that enough?"

Chen Congyu said to him calmly: "I am very grateful that you have such a good impression of me, but matters of the heart cannot be treated impulsively, right?"

Yuan Qi nodded obediently to show his agreement.

Chen Congyu continued, "You don't have to worry. If your mind doesn't change after a while, we can talk about it later, okay?"

"Really? Aren't you just trying to be polite?"

Yuan Qi was really anxious. "If you have anything to say, you must tell me directly, sister."

His cautious look made Shen Congyu see his sincerity.

She was very nice and said, "I didn't treat you lightly."

This answer barely gave Yuan Qi a shot in the arm.

Although he was still not very happy, he still forced himself to cheer up and did not want to show his bad side in front of Shen Congyu.

Yuan Qi himself didn't want to ruin his relationship with Shen Congyu, regardless of whether it succeeded or not.

So he did not choose to force Chen Congyu.

This matter was put on hold for the time being. Shen Congyu was the first to open the door and go out. On the steps, Jiang Xilin stood in front of him.

When he came and what he heard, Chen Congyu didn't know.

But from her understanding, judging from his facial expression, it seemed that he had heard her conversation with Yuan Qi.

"How did you..."

As soon as Shen Congyu started to speak, Jiang Xilin suddenly turned around and left with an expressionless face.

Until returning to the hotel, Shen Congyu did not speak to Jiang Xilin.

After returning to the room, taking a quick shower and changing clothes, Chen Congyu packed her luggage. She didn't want to rush too much at night, so she planned to go back in the afternoon.

There wasn't much stuff, so she packed it up quickly. Just as she sat down, someone knocked on the door.

As soon as she opened the door, the person outside stretched out a hand to block the door and then squeezed in.

Shen Congyu stepped back and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person who came in was Jiang Xilin.

"Why didn't you say anything? You scared me."

Jiang Xilin closed the door and glanced around her room, "Is it packed?"

Shen Congyu nodded.

She didn't think he just came here to ask questions so simply, and sure enough, Jiang Xilin's next sentence made a 180-degree jump.

"That boy confessed his feelings to you, why didn't you just reject him?"

He finally heard it.

Chen Congyu calmed down and asked, "Why are you eavesdropping on us?"

“Is that the point?”

"Well, I get along well with him, and he's a nice guy. I'm going to say it so decisively that I've blocked all my options."

Jiang Xilin sneered and said, "So you still want to take a back-door?"

Chen Congyu walked back, not wanting to squeeze in with him at the entrance to talk. The small space would give her the illusion of being imprisoned by him, limiting her reaction.

She said, "Why not? Do I have to be around you forever and be in disgrace?"

The argument was still about this topic, he must know it.

But he never changed, forcing Shen Congyu to mention it again and again.

But Jiang Xilin still said: "In short, it is not possible now, not in the short term."

Shen Congyu's tone fluctuated, "There is no such reason."

She stopped and turned to look at Jiang Xilin. She bit her lip and made some kind of decision.

This time I don’t want to continue dwelling on these topics that have already been discussed.

So she looked at Jiang Xilin's familiar face and took a deep breath, "I have been with you for longer than we have been married."

This sentence carries great weight.

Jiang Xilin stepped forward and pinched her shoulders, squeezing out almost every word from his throat, "What do you mean by this?"

Chen Congyu endured the pain, not daring to look into his eyes, and turned her face away. "I don't mean anything else. I just mean that if you want to take revenge on me, time is enough. We weren't even married for this long."

"You can't pretend anymore?"

"I don't want to argue with you."

She reached out to push Jiang Xilin's hand, but he remained indifferent.

His strength was like a mountain pressing down on Shen Congyu.

Jiang Xilin insisted that she explain herself clearly.

Chen Congyu closed her eyes, made up her mind, and said, "There was a reason why I divorced you."

The veins on the back of Jiang Xilin's hands bulged, showing how deeply he was suppressing his emotions at the moment.

"explain."

Chen Congyu: “Do you really want to know?”

Jiang Xilin almost didn't want to hear her delayed answer. He said bluntly: "Why shouldn't I want to? I am the victim in this matter."

"What if it's not what you think?"

Chen Congyu held back his words as they came to his lips. He held Jiang Xilin's wrist and said, "Tell me first, do you still have feelings for me?"

Her hand was warm and cool, and when it was placed on Jiang Xilin's wrist, it was like a fever reducer, calming the boiling blood and keeping the person calm.

After several seconds, Jiang Xilin said, "I'm asking you about something in the past."

Chen Congyu: “But I want to know, this will determine whether I should tell you the truth.”

She was forcing him, or she was being mysterious.

There was no such thing as truth, maybe she was lying to him again.

This was just an excuse for her to avoid his accusations.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xilin suddenly pulled his hand back.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room was interrupted by a knock on the door.

The person outside knocked on the door and said, "It's me, sister. Are you ready?"

No one spoke in the room, they just looked at each other.

In the end, it was Chen Congyu who answered Yuan Qi, "I've packed up and can leave soon."

"Then I'll wait for you downstairs."

He left again.

Chen Congyu adjusted his mentality and took the initiative to ask Jiang Xilin: "Do you want to continue chatting?"

The one who answered her was Jiang Xilin who slammed the door and left without saying a word.

You can tell his current mood from the sound of him closing the door.

Chen Congyu breathed slightly. It was not easy for her to bring up the old things again.
