Chapter 216 Reluctant to Leave
Where did he get his partner!
The moment he said that, he knew he was in trouble.
But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back, so we can only grit our teeth and persevere.
He had no choice but to wave his hand and quickly cut the subject short. "Stop asking, stop asking. Why are you asking so many questions?"
He tried to change the subject, but there was already a hint of panic in his tone and his eyes were a little erratic.
"I'm just saying, everyone can fall in love. I can date anyone."
"I'll bring it out later so you can see it. It'll blind your eyes!"
He spoke with confidence, but his heart was beating like a rabbit.
Chen Yan and Song Xiaomei kept asking, "So when can we meet your girlfriend? What's she like? Can you introduce her to us?"
The two of them sang the same tune, asking more and more detailed questions, as if they had really believed that he really had a partner.
Where can he find this "object"!
He could only smile bitterly while thinking about how to get out of this situation. If he continued like this, he would be exposed.
I could only run away quickly, "You guys are too fond of gossip. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
After saying that, Song Xiaochen ran away.
He almost rushed out of the door, his movements were so quick and decisive as if he was afraid of being kept for interrogation. The sound of two people laughing and joking could be heard behind him.
Shen Yan then put the bank card away, took out some cash from it, and handed it to Zhu Jingchen, "I've left all your money with me. It's not safe without some cash on you."
Her tone was gentle, as if she was reminding him of a small matter.
But that thoughtfulness makes people feel warm in their hearts.
"It's a little pocket money for emergencies."
As she spoke, she gently stuffed the few banknotes in her hand into Zhu Jingchen's pocket.
Zhu Jingchen stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment, and could only nod slightly.
Shen Yan handed him ten thousand yuan in cash.
Zhu Jingchen only took out half of it, leaving 5,000 yuan.
"That's enough."
He said, "This money is enough for us to do business in Shanghai. And there is a batch of goods waiting for us in Suzhou. Fortunately, Brother Qin has been helping to keep an eye on it."
In order to rush back this time, he almost gave up all his business in Su City without hesitation.
He has been delayed in Shanghai for too long, and things over there are probably on the verge of collapse.
He must return to Su City as soon as possible.
An indescribable feeling of reluctance welled up in Shen Yan's heart.
They had just confirmed their relationship not long ago, but now they had to face separation again.
We just got together and haven't had time to get along well, but we have to separate again.
She felt sad in her heart, as if there was an indescribable feeling stuck in her chest.
She really didn't want to just watch him leave.
She felt that even though they had only been together for a short time, her heart was already tied to him.
The feeling of being unable to separate easily became stronger and stronger in her heart, almost an instinctive dependence.
If she couldn't see him or hear his voice, she would definitely feel very uncomfortable and might even start to have wild thoughts.
Zhu Jingchen stretched out his slender fingers, gently stroked her warm cheek, and whispered, "I'm not going far. I won't be away for too long and will be back soon."
Although Chen Yan was reluctant in her heart, she also understood that the most important thing now was their respective business matters.
So she didn't try to persuade him to stay, but got up and took out a small bag made of soft iron from the bottom of the wardrobe.
She carefully stuffed a thousand yuan into the bag, then held the bag with both hands and carefully stuffed it into the inner pocket of Zhu Jingchen's shirt.
She whispered, "This is the money I saved at the bottom of my chest. It's not for emergencies, nor for spending, but for my safety."
Her voice was soft and her tone was gentle, but it contained a deep concern and wish.
After hearing this, Zhu Jingchen's Adam's apple moved slightly and he nodded gently.
"If you encounter any problems while I'm away, go find Brother Qin. I can ask him to pass on the message for me."
He paused, as if trying to suppress the reluctance in his heart, and added, "As long as there is really something going on over there, I will definitely rush back immediately."
He earnestly warned her: "You have to take care of yourself and don't always worry about these business matters."
Shen Yan had never experienced such a separation in her life.
Because in the previous life, communication between people was very convenient, and no matter how far apart they were, they could communicate instantly through various means.
As long as you want to find someone, you can send a WeChat message or a video request anytime and anywhere.
You can see the other person's face and hear their voice almost instantly.
But in this era, in this time and space, such a simple connection is difficult to achieve.
Because there were no advanced communication tools, the so-called separation meant not meeting each other or communicating in the true sense.
It means that we can no longer share the trivialities of each other's lives, hear each other's voices, or see that familiar face again.
Even if you write a letter, you may have to wait for a week or two, or even half a month or longer before you receive a reply from the other party.
The deep longing for that person can only be hidden quietly in my heart, and chewed and savored over and over again in my heart.
Has Zhu Jingchen never had such a feeling?
He gently and carefully stroked her face with his palm for the last time, and said in a gentle but firm tone, "I won't keep you waiting too long. I will be back as soon as possible."
After he said this, he stood up, picked up the things he brought with him, turned around and left the house.
In fact, his heart was in pain and he was struggling.
Because he knew very well that if he stayed a little longer, he might never be willing to leave.
Especially when he saw tears in her eyes and she looked at him reluctantly, his heart was in turmoil and he wished he could be with her all the time.
Zhu Jingchen slowly walked out of the stone door, then opened the car door and got into the passenger seat next to the driver's seat.
Song Xiaochen, who was sitting in the driver's seat, grinned and said half-jokingly, "Oh, you finally decided to leave her house?"
"I thought you were really going to settle down in her house."
Zhu Jingchen did not respond immediately, but turned around to look in the direction of the stone door, his eyes revealing deep reluctance.
He responded in a low voice, "You've never been in love before, so you don't understand the feeling of separation."
After hearing this, Song Xiaochen curled his lips in dissatisfaction and replied, "Bah!"
It happened early the next morning.
That day, Chen Yan, Song Xiaomei and Cao Yangfei arrived at Huating Road early together.
On the other side, Zhong Huijie was very happy to see them arrive, with a warm smile on her face.
Zhong Huijie greeted them and said, "Shuyun, your goods are all ready. You can check the quality and count the quantity yourself."
Afterwards, Shen Yan, Song Xiaomei and Cao Yangfei immediately began inspecting the goods.
