Chapter 159: Boss Jiang Falls in Love with Playing Bad (Including Sub-CP Cheng Wan)
"Well... most likely he won't come today." Chen Cheng replied, and her hand stopped pushing the drawer back. Between two bags of potato chips was an orange-flavored lollipop that didn't belong to her.
Curious, she reached out and pulled out the lollipop, only to find that there was a piece of paper wrapped around the stick, like a tire. She knew who the candy belonged to.
Only Ling Wan would carry candy with her, orange-flavored candy. If she came across a crying child, she would give one, and the child would miraculously stop crying.
My mind was filled with that figure, and closer and closer was the little crescent moon that rose when the other person smiled, gentle as running water to nourish my soul.
Still can't erase it...
"Why not come?" Xia Li asked curiously.
"The boss has taken to playing badly lately." Chen Cheng leaned back in her chair, her expression unchanged but her clenched fists betrayed her excitement.
She sent Xia Li away. Now she was too lazy to pursue the matter of stealing snacks. She gently pressed the sticker with her thumb and waited until the edge curled up before she dared to tear it off.
Fortunately, the mini bear sticker was not difficult to tear off, and when she opened it, the beautiful font appeared.
[I'm sorry for hurting you. I want you to come back and talk to me face to face.]
…
The warm sunlight was blocked out by the curtains, and the person on the bed was still sleeping soundly. However, Pei Xiangwan couldn't sleep that long and had already gotten up to make himself a cup of coffee.
Looking at the time, she walked back to the room with the half-empty cup of coffee. The unmelted ice in the cup shook and hit the wall of the cup, making a pleasant sound like a bell.
Pei Xiangwan put the cup on the table, tiptoed to the bed and sat down. Seeing Jiang Shiyuan's rosy face sleeping, she really couldn't bear to wake him up, so she tapped Jiang Shiyuan's nose.
Jiang Shiyuan's originally calm brows quickly wrinkled, and he snorted in dissatisfaction. Pei Xiangwan, who was addicted to teasing, continued to tease him.
The person was completely awake. Jiang Shiyuan opened his tired eyes and saw the owner of the finger clearly. He was so angry that he opened his mouth and bit the other person.
"You pervert."
Pei Xiangwan said nothing but just smiled. She leaned over to get closer to Jiang Shiyuan, but the other party pushed Pei Xiangwan's face with his hands like a cat resisting its owner's approach.
Pei Xiangwan has a good temper and won't get angry, so he takes advantage of the chaos to kiss Jiang Shiyuan's palm.
It was too hot, so Jiang Shiyuan immediately withdrew his hand and yelled fiercely, "What are you doing!"
It was more convenient without any obstacles. Pei Xiangwan rubbed Jiang Shiyuan's neck and greedily sniffed the fragrance.
"I don't know what I'm doing either."
Greed swallowed up reason like a beast. The palm that had touched the ice cube slid away, and the cold feeling made Jiang Shiyuan tremble uncontrollably. She tried to push it away but failed.
"Why are your hands as cold as ice? Go away!"
Pei Xiangwan looked up and chuckled, "Jiang Jiang is so smart that she knew I touched ice." She held Jiang Shiyuan's wrist and guided him to touch her face.
"I'll be sad if you drive me away."
Jiang Shiyuan felt that Pei Xiangwan's hand had warmed up again, thanks to her body temperature.
She couldn't make Pei Xiangwan sad. The red mark was only on the surface and would fade away in a few days, but the loveliness was deep in her bones and could not be erased.
She took the initiative to hug Pei Xiangwan, but the other party didn't seem to intend to do anything. The hug lasted for a long time, but the hugging posture was particularly uncomfortable, so Pei Xiangwan got up.
"Get up, are you hungry, Jiang Jiang?"
"Fortunately, I'm not very hungry." I control my figure strictly, and after it became a habit, I naturally didn't want to eat that much.
"Okay, let's eat. Aunt Zhang has prepared everything."
Jiang Shiyuan couldn't help laughing. The marks on her body made her wrap herself tightly even in hot weather.
Aunt Zhang didn't understand but thought it was normal for Jiang Shiyuan to be thin and afraid of the cold, so she advised him to eat more.
Pei Xiangwan came to the rescue and said, "Zhang Ma Jiang Jiang can't eat too much. Ballet training requires strict body management. But I can eat more. I'm also very thin."
She brought the topic back to herself, and Aunt Zhang stopped trying to persuade her and turned around to do other things.
After dinner, Pei Xiangwan took a tablet to look at the design drawings to see if any changes were needed, while Jiang Shiyuan used her legs as a pillow. Perhaps because she was too tired, she closed her eyes to rest.
Pei Xiangwan could see that cute sleeping face just by looking down, and couldn't help but touch her rosy cheeks, the worry in her eyes could not be hidden.
A few days ago, she learned from Lin Muyao that the Jiang family was in crisis. It was because of years of word of mouth and Jiang Shiyuan's father's desperate efforts to keep the news secret that it did not spread.
But the loss has been irreparable, and time is limited. She has to find a way to resolve the crisis of the Jiang family and let Jiang Shiyuan live a carefree life forever.
…
There were not many people in the coffee shop with warm wooden tones, only two people sitting there, facing each other without speaking.
Chen Cheng lowered her eyes, the steam from her coffee continued to rise. She didn't want to see Ling Wan at this time because her heart was too confused and she needed time to sort it out.
But when they met, looking at those crescent eyes filled with broken stars, she couldn't say anything and just followed Ling Wan.
She thought that as long as she ignored it and stopped missing it, she could forget the person, but she couldn't do it all the time.
"I... have a lot to say to you..." Ling Wan was the first to break the silence. Perhaps it was the first time she saw Chen Cheng silent, and all the things she had wanted to say were lost in an instant.
Her eyes were fixed on the silent man with his head down, who seemed to have no intention of looking up.
Ling Wan's heart, which often ached, started to ache again. She was too reckless, so what right did she have to be sad, and why should she be sad?
Isn't this the result she wanted? Why is she not satisfied with it now?
She spoke again, her mouth tasted bitter and spicy as if she had eaten mustard, and her eyes soon became moist.
"Did you have a good time during your vacation?" She thought a lot and was curious whether Chen Cheng met any new people on the road. But in the end, she only had enough courage to say one sentence.
"Can't you see it all? I like to post on my Moments and it's all there. Isn't it obvious whether I'm happy or not?" Chen Cheng raised his eyes and replied stubbornly.
Ling Wan didn't get the response she expected and smiled bitterly, "I know. I want to apologize for my impulsiveness that day. I shouldn't have hit you."
"I'm sorry, Chen Cheng." Her voice was still extremely gentle, but now it was trembling.
It was like a pair of invisible hands gently stroking Chen Cheng's broken wound. For a moment, her hope was rekindled, but it was extinguished by Chen Cheng's own hands.
It's time to see clearly between reality and illusion.
"You don't need to apologize, you don't need to apologize to anyone. Every step you take is right."
The stinging sensation made her breathing heavy. "It was me who ignored your advice and fell in love with you. It was also me who rushed forward without considering your feelings. Perhaps I was really naive. I couldn't ignore your pain. I used my self-righteous happiness to keep you by my side, which led me to become greedy step by step, and I felt that nothing was enough."
There was light music playing in the store, but both of them felt heavy-hearted. Chen Cheng was afraid that she would lose control the longer she stayed, so she stood up and stared at the person she had loved for a long time.
Ling Wan always exudes a gentle beauty, but when she is sad, the gentle beauty will dissipate into a pitiful broken beauty that makes her want to hug her.
