Chapter 279 I Really Want to Buy It!
Debt Collector: [OK. But Ms. Cen, did you forget something?]
Cen Lian stared at the message with a frown.
She quickly recalled her previous conversation to make sure she hadn't missed anything important.
Cen Li'an: [? 】
Debt collector: [You haven't commented on my lunch photo yet [feeling wronged]]
Cen Lian'an was almost so angry that he laughed. Why is this person so childish?
She clicked on the photo that was forgotten in the chat history.
Cen Li-an: [It looks worse than my dog food]
Debt Collector: [So, Ms. Cen, would you please have some pity on me and take me out for a nice meal tonight?]
Cen Li-an: [Okay, you can choose the place.]
Debt Collector: [That won't work. Since you're the one treating, you get to choose the place. I'm footing the bill.]
Cen Lian looked at the message, his finger hovering above the screen, not knowing how to reply.
She suddenly realized that she seemed to be led by this "debt collector", and her originally depressed mood had unknowingly dissipated for the most part.
Just as she was lost in thought, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"An An?" Mother Cen's voice came through the door. "Mom made Tremella soup. Do you want some?"
Cen Li'an quickly turned off the screen of his phone, "Yes!"
She opened the door and took the bowl from her mother's hand.
Mother Cen's gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds, and she suddenly asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Cen Lian was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he had stopped thinking about Cheng Yuxiao's engagement without knowing when.
She scooped a spoonful of Tremella soup and replied vaguely, "I wasn't in a bad mood anyway."
Mother Cen gave her a meaningful look. "Who were you chatting with just now? You were smiling so happily."
"I'm not laughing!" Cen Li'an retorted subconsciously, but after seeing his mother's teasing look, his ears turned red. "It's just... a friend."
"Oh, a friend." Mother Cen dragged out her tone, "Boyfriend?"
Cen Lian'an almost choked to death when he heard this. The Tremella soup was stuck in his throat and he coughed so hard that tears came out.
"Mom! Can you please stop guessing!" She hurriedly took a tissue to wipe her mouth, her ears were so hot that you could fry an egg on them.
Mother Cen patted her back with a smile and said in a leisurely tone, "Oh, such a big reaction, it seems that you are not just an ordinary friend."
Cen Li'an: "..."
She lowered her head and drank the Tremella soup, pretending not to hear, but the mischievous smiling face of the "debt collector" emerged uncontrollably in her mind.
Wait, why does she feel guilty?
She was obviously just being pestered to treat him to a meal as a reward!
Seeing that she was silent, Mother Cen sighed deliberately, "Alas, a girl can't be kept at home when she grows up. She doesn't even tell the truth to her mother anymore."
Cen Li'an finally couldn't stand it anymore and glared at her, "If you keep doing this, next time he really invites me to dinner, I won't go!"
As soon as she said it, she regretted it.
Sure enough, Mother Cen's eyes lit up and she immediately moved closer: "Him? So it's really a boy?"
Cen Li'an: "..."
It’s over, I’ve fallen into a trap.
She took a deep breath and decided to go all out. "Yes, he's a man, but we're just acquaintances, not even friends."
At most, he's a creditor! He's an ancestor!
Mother Cen said "Oh" meaningfully, and walked slowly towards the door. Before leaving, she turned back and added, "Then remember to dress up nicely, don't let people think our Cen family is stingy."
Cen Li'an: "..."
After the door closed, she sank into the pillow, gritted her teeth, opened her cell phone, and sent the first message to a certain culprit.
Cen Li-an: [It's all your fault! My mom now thinks I'm going on a date!]
She only realized what she had sent after she sent the message.
She didn't understand why she sent him this message, but when she wanted to withdraw it, it was too late.
Debt collector: [? ]
Debt Collector: [Isn’t it?]
Cen Li'an: [...]
Debt collector: [[dog tilting head.jpg]]
Cen Li'an stared at the innocent expression pack, and inexplicably brought into his mind Jiang Chenyu's mean yet overly handsome face!
Crazy! She felt that she must be crazy to keep thinking about him.
Cen Lian threw his cell phone aside, collapsed into the bed, and covered his head with the quilt, as if this could drive away the lingering face in his mind.
But the more this happened, the clearer someone's face became in my mind...
——
Cen Lian lay down for a while and then fell into a drowsy sleep. When she woke up, she didn't know what time it was.
She didn't know what she was thinking about, she suddenly sat up from the bed, took out her cell phone and checked the time.
It's over!
It's already 5 o'clock!
Half an hour had passed since the time Jiang Chenyu had agreed with her.
She quickly sent him a message.
Cen Li'an: [Sorry, sorry! I overslept! Where are you now? I'll be out right away!]
She jumped out of bed in a hurry, rummaging through the closet while staring at her phone waiting for a reply.
Debt collector: [[Location]]
Debt collector: [No rush, I'm just downstairs from your house]
Cen Lian'an's fingers paused, staring at the message with wide eyes.
He was actually downstairs in her house? !
She rushed to the window, carefully lifted a corner of the curtain and looked down——
Jiang Chenyu was leaning against a black car, playing with his mobile phone.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, outlining a slender silhouette.
As if sensing her gaze, he suddenly looked up and accurately caught sight of her hiding behind the curtains.
Cen Lian was so scared that he immediately retracted his head, his heart beating like a drum.
The phone vibrated again.
Debt collector: [I was caught peeking, Miss Cen]
Cen Li'an: [......]
She took a deep breath and typed quickly: [Give me ten minutes!]
Debt Collector: [No rush, take your time. But...]
Cen Li'an: [? 】
Debt collector: [I just saw my aunt and said hello to her.]
Cen Lian’an’s eyes went dark.
It's over, all over.
She could even imagine her mother's meaningful look!
Ten minutes later, Cen Lian hurried downstairs and found Jiang Chenyu and Cen's mother standing at the door talking happily.
"Mom!" She walked over with her head held high. "Let's go."
Mother Cen nodded with a smile. "Go ahead, it's okay to come back later."
After saying that, he patted Jiang Chenyu's shoulder meaningfully and said, "Chenyu, An An is in your hands."
Jiang Chenyu nodded politely, "Don't worry, Auntie."
Cen Li'an was speechless!
She grabbed Jiang Chenyu's sleeve and walked away quickly, not letting go until they turned the corner.
"What did you say to my mother?" she asked warily.
Jiang Chenyu blinked innocently and said, "I just briefly introduced myself."
Cen Li'an looked at him suspiciously, "Really?"
"Yeah." He paused, then suddenly leaned close to her ear and lowered his voice, "But Auntie seems to have misunderstood that we are in a relationship."
The warm breath brushed past his ears, and Cen Li'an blushed instantly. He took a step back, "Don't get so close!"
Jiang Chenyu chuckled and stood up. "Let's go. I'll take you somewhere."
"Where are you going?"
"You'll know when you get there."
He opened the car door and gestured "please".
Cen Lian hesitated for a moment, but still sat in.
The car slowly drove away from the Cen family. Cen Lian could still see his mother's figure on the balcony looking out through the rearview mirror.
She held her forehead and sighed, realizing that she couldn't wash herself clean even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
"So reluctant?" Jiang Chenyu glanced at her, "Are you afraid I'll sell you out?"
Cen Li'an curled his lips, "Even if I sell you, I have to find a buyer."
"Of course not?" He chuckled. "I really want to buy it."
Cen Li'an: "..."
She decided to keep her mouth shut, otherwise she would be pissed off to death by this guy sooner or later.
