Chapter 91 IF Option: What if Cheng Jia hadn't gotten cancer when they met again? 2

"......"

From today onwards, I belong to you.

Shi Qingci wanted to say something, but looking at Cheng Jia's smiling face, she couldn't bring herself to say those harsh words.

It turns out that all Cheng Jia had to do was smile at him.

He couldn't bring himself to do anything to harm Cheng Jia.

He gave a soft "hmm," picked up his bathrobe, and went into the bathroom.

Behind him, the person on the sofa armrest stopped smiling and quietly watched the figure he hadn't seen for five years. Cheng Jia thought to himself...

Qing dynasty porcelain, whatever you want.

As long as I have it.

They are all willing to make it up to you.

Don't be unhappy.

Don't let me fool you once and make you all alone now, radiating loneliness and resentment, cold and devoid of any human warmth.

Cheng Jia felt sorry for him.

He called Zhou Minghe: "Boss Zhou, I've found a powerful patron and I'm planning to resign. Um, it's President Shi..."

"......"

The catering department delivered dinner to the room.

The two people sat facing each other at a dining table by the window.

“Blueberries, I washed them clean,” Cheng Jia said, rolling up the cuffs of his white shirt to reveal a section of his smooth, fair wrist. He had prepared quite a few things while the man was taking a shower. “I wonder if your tastes have changed in the past five years. These dishes are what I ordered.”

Shi Qingci hadn't seen this person for a very long time.

It's been a long time since I've sat down and had a meal with Cheng Jia.

University dormitory, entertainment center guest room.

Two different scenes, the same two people.

As if she had a lot to say, but in the end it all came down to one sentence: Shi Qingci asked in a deep voice, "Have you been in a relationship these past five years?"

Cheng Jia stopped picking up food with her chopsticks, without looking up at the person opposite her: "...No, what about you?"

Did she find a boyfriend after he left?

Will there be other people who kiss Shi Qingci?

Cheng Jia really wanted to know.

"What does this have to do with you?" Shi Qingci replied.

I don't want to reveal that I haven't looked for one.

"......"

Cheng Jia put on gloves and resignedly served, peeling shrimp for the person opposite her: "I was just asking, I didn't say you had to answer. If you have it, you have it. How could someone of your status not have it... So, do you have it now?"

If there is something, he won't do anything unnecessary.

He only focuses on being a male nanny.

Cheng Jia put the peeled shrimp into the bowl of the person opposite her.

"So what if I have it, so what if I don't?" Shi Qingci picked up his chopsticks, put a piece of shrimp in his mouth, and only tasted the bitterness of the shrimp. He felt that Cheng Jia was playing him again. "Why ask such a question that you don't care about at all?"

The stars twinkle outside the window.

Cheng Jia's heart was racing: "No one will ask questions they don't care about."

“…?” Shi Qingci looked up at the opposite side.

Cheng Jia peeled shrimp with her eyelids lowered, feeling passive but knowing she deserved it. Having hurt the person in front of her, it was time for her to be passive this time: "...I asked because I care, even though you may not need me anymore, and don't need me to care, but I..."

Cheng Jia: "I care."

"I don't understand." Shi Qingci wiped her mouth with a tissue, her heart skipped a beat for no reason, but she felt more doubt and confusion.

Just when he wanted to get revenge on the swindler.

The scammer seemed to be confessing her feelings to him.

"......"

Cheng Jia took a deep breath: "If you don't understand, it's okay, it's okay, let's eat."

A little bit of courage that burst forth from the excitement of the reunion.

They quickly lost their spirits.

What kind of family background does he have? How could he dare to confess his feelings?

And so he followed Shi Qingci and worked for him.

The rest...

Let's talk about it later.

“I’m going back to Xining tomorrow, you’re coming with me,” Shi Qingci said as she continued eating. “Have my assistant write the check, and fill in the amount yourself.”

It's so cold and distant.

Five years can indeed bring about a lot of changes.

Cheng Jia was somewhat disappointed: "Okay, two million is enough for me. After you finish your report, will you let me go?"

If he doesn't want to leave.

Can I stay?

Cheng Jia didn't dare to ask.

"..." Shi Qingci did not answer this question.

He simply looked up at Cheng Jia.

After watching for a while, I turned to look at the night sky and stars outside.

After he retaliates, will he let Cheng Jia go?

It's highly unlikely.

Later, Cheng Jia wrote 100 million on the check.

Assistant Tony was stunned: "Mr. Nanny, are you really that bold as to hire him?"

"I...no, you should ask President Shi first. If 100 million is too high, I can lower the price," Cheng Jia said awkwardly, scratching his forehead. "It's just that if he asks for more, can I stay with President Shi for a little longer?"

The news reached Shi Qingci.

Shi Qingci, holding her coffee, didn't even blink: "Give it to him."

I'm not afraid of Cheng Jia wanting it.

The more you want, the more you'll want in the future.

As long as Cheng Jia dares to take it.

He dared to give it.

"......"

Tony listened with horror to the two words on the phone.

Good heavens, an exorbitantly priced male nanny!

"Did you give it to me?" Cheng Jia took back the check, counted the amount, folded it with satisfaction, and put it in her pocket. "Alright, I'm going to go move some dirt now. Today's task is to renovate the old house's back garden..."

He is now a male nanny with a stable job.

Finally, I can get back to work in peace.

Cheng Jia called her employer while walking: "Mr. Shi, do you have a business dinner tonight? Do you need me to drive you? I'm going back to the old house to renovate the garden, shovel soil, soak seeds... Hey, are you really going to throw away your surfboard? It looks like it can still be used after washing—"

"Cheng Jia," Shi Qingci called out from the other end of the phone.

Cheng Jia: "Huh?"

"It's nothing, you're busy." Shi Qingci stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the high floor, the corners of her lips curving into a smile.

This is the Shengjing Group Building in Xining City.

Cheng Jia accepted the check, and the Shi family's old house was finally occupied again.

That person's return was full of vitality.

The porcelain from the Qing Dynasty seems to have come alive.

*

Six months later.

The male nanny of the Shi family stood in the yard rinsing the sports car with water.

Cheng Jia, wearing a tank top and flip-flops, was squinting in the blazing sun, muttering, "I just had a car treatment and this is the result? Mr. Shi, were you ripped off? Shouldn't you go to the car dealership for a refund?"

"You certainly know how to save me money." Shi Qingci, dressed in a simple white T-shirt, came out with a freshly cut slice of watermelon in her hand and handed it to Cheng Jia in the sweltering summer heat.

For the past six months, the two of them have simply been employer and nanny.

There was a slight ambiguity between them, but neither of them brought it up.

Perhaps a certain opportunity will be needed.

Cheng Jia, carrying a hose, said irritably, "I'm not eating. I'll rinse off the foam and see. All that expensive nursing fee wasted."

"Take a bite." Shi Qingci raised her hand to feed it to him.

The tip of the watermelon is the sweetest.

Without hesitation, Cheng Jia gripped the water pipe and leaned close to Shi Qingci's hand, taking a bite of the watermelon tip. As he leaned closer, sunlight fell on his fluffy, tousled hair.

Sports car, sunshine, courtyard, watermelon.

A peaceful afternoon.

As if possessed, Shi Qingci lowered her head and kissed the male nanny on the cheek.

"..." Cheng Jia's lips were stained with watermelon juice, and he didn't know if there was any sweat on his cheeks. He turned to look at Shi Qingci, and their eyes met for less than two seconds.

He carried the water pipe and went back to kiss her.

They kissed on the lips.

The lips touched and then instantly withdrew.

Their hearts were pounding!

"...You?" Shi Qingci's breathing became erratic.

Cheng Jia picked up the hose and walked away, her ears bright red. She licked her lips and said, "Don't stand in the yard in the sun. Go inside. I'll be done washing soon."

"Why!"

The water pipe fell from Cheng Jia's hands, and the showerhead shot skyward.

Cheng Jia was pinned against the front door of the sports car by Shi Qingci, biting her lip fiercely. Transparent raindrops mixed with the scorching sunlight pattered down on their heads.

"Hold me," Shi Qingci said in a hoarse voice.

Cheng Jia's face flushed red: "Still kissing?"

"Hmm—"

"......"

"......"

Then let's kiss.

Kisses, kisses, kisses.

The browser has a few extra lines of text:
