Chapter 37 She Refuses to Admit
The night was as dark as ink, and it looked like it was going to rain.
After dinner, Shen Qinghuan accompanied the old man for a walk in the garden. It was not until after nine o'clock that she returned to her room on the second floor.
Jiang Yu was still sleeping soundly on the soft big bed.
Shen Qinghuan glanced at him with a frown. Is he really that tired? Then she thought of something else and curled her red lips in a mocking way. He had been with Li Mingzhu for a whole week and still had to work. It would be unreasonable for him not to be tired!
The phone on the sofa suddenly rang.
She picked it up and took a look, there was an unread message.
[Ms. Shen, are you free tomorrow? Can we have a quick dinner together tonight? I can pick you up downstairs at the office.]
Dr. Zhou asked her out for dinner?
Shen Qinghuan stared at the man on the bed for a while, then agreed.
[Just send me the address, no need to pick me up specially.]
[Alright, see you tomorrow night.]
…
Very few people know that tomorrow is Shen Qinghuan’s birthday.
She hasn't had a proper birthday since her father died in a car accident.
Her father had an accident on her birthday. It rained heavily that day, but she still insisted on eating pizza from Pizza Hut. Her father and mother couldn't persuade her, so they drove her out to eat.
No one expected that a terrible car accident was waiting for them.
Along the way, she was very excited because her parents agreed to her request, and she chattered non-stop.
Just as they were waiting for the red light, a large truck rushed towards them without warning.
Before she could come to her senses, her vision suddenly went dark and she fainted.
When she woke up from her coma, she was already lying in the hospital, an oxygen mask on her face, a needle stuck in the back of her hand, cold liquid flowing into her veins through a transparent rubber tube, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant...
There was no one in the huge ward except her, lying alone on the hospital bed.
It was not until several days later that she learned that the car accident had claimed her father's life and her mother had been seriously injured.
Thinking of the past, Shen Qinghuan couldn't help but have a headache. She reached out and rubbed her temples, then lay lazily on the sofa, forcing herself not to think about the things that made her so painful.
Perhaps she was tired, and before she knew it, she fell asleep on the sofa.
That night, Shen Qinghuan dreamed of her father. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she last dreamed of him. He asked her if she was doing well. She cried and shook her head. She wanted to say, "Dad, I miss you so much." But she opened her mouth and no sound came out of her throat...
She kept crying and crying, wanting her father to stay with her, but her father said that she had grown up and no longer needed his company.
"No, don't go, don't..."
She reached out to her father desperately, begging him not to leave her, but the figure kept walking away.
"Shen Qinghuan! Shen Qinghuan!"
Who is calling her name? Why does this voice sound so familiar? Who is it? Who is calling her?
Shen Qinghuan woke up suddenly, and a very beautiful face appeared in her sight without warning.
She stared at him blankly.
"What did you dream about? Why were you crying so hard?" Jiang Yu stared into her eyes and asked in a nonchalant manner.
Shen Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses and reached out to wipe his face.
My palms are wet.
Is she crying?
"I'm not crying, you're seeing things." Shen Qinghuan said coldly, "Why are you squatting in front of me instead of going to sleep?"
Afraid that Jiang Yu would see through her weakness, Shen Qinghuan deliberately changed the subject.
Jiang Yu could see through Shen Qinghuan's little trick, and knowing that she didn't want to say it, he didn't continue to ask.
He sneered and deliberately moved closer to her, "Shen Qinghuan, you were yelling in a dream. We were both in the same room. Tell me, was it you who woke me up? And then I couldn't sleep anymore?"
Shen Qinghuan bit the corner of her lip, lowered her head, knowing that she was in the wrong.
But she definitely couldn't apologize to Jiang Yu seriously.
Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on that fair little face. She had just cried, her eyes were red, and her eyelashes were wet with tears. He felt that she looked so pitiful, but he couldn't help but want to bully her.
"Shen Qinghuan, I can't sleep now because you woke me up. What do you think we should do?"
Is he trying to scam me? Shen Qinghuan looked up at her, her mouth slightly opened, and she retorted unhappily: "What does it have to do with me!"
Jiang Yu: "Your crying woke me up. Tell me, is it your fault?"
Shen Qinghuan denied: "I didn't cry."
I would never admit it even if you kill me!
Jiang Yu sneered and looked at her leisurely, "Shen Qinghuan, how do you manage to lie without blushing?"
Looking at the face that was right in front of her, Shen Qinghuan felt angry because she was being laughed at and couldn't help but reach out to push it away.
Her face turned cold again, and she glared at him angrily and said, "Jiang Yu, I said I didn't cry, and I didn't cry. Are you done yet?"
After saying this, she quickly got up from the sofa.
Jiang Yu was stunned, his eyes dark.
Shen Qinghuan was feeling a little annoyed and didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Yu. She even wanted to call Li Meng out to have a few drinks with her, but she was at the old house now and couldn't get a taxi in the middle of the night. The only thing she could do was close her eyes and sleep.
Then, wait for dawn.
Seeing Shen Qinghuan crawling into bed without saying a word, Jiang Yu looked at her deeply, his eyes gradually darkening, and turned to leave the room.
Shen Qinghuan could clearly hear the footsteps gradually receding, and she could also hear the slight sound of the door closing.
Jiang Yu left and she didn't try to keep him.
She also couldn't help but think that the two people who were so close not long ago were now like strangers.
In the second half of the night, Shen Qinghuan was not sleepy at all, and Jiang Yu did not come back.
It was not until dawn that she forced herself to close her eyes and sleep for a while.
The next morning, Shen Qinghuan got up late. When she arrived at the restaurant, her grandparents were already sitting there.
She greeted him with a smile and sat down obediently to eat breakfast.
"Huanhuan, Ayu told you! He has something important to deal with, so he's going to the company first. I'll ask your Uncle Li to take you to work later." Jiang Tianye said happily.
Li Xiangqin glared at her husband angrily, "What's wrong with Huanhuan taking a day off at home? It's not like we can't afford to support her and force her to go to work."
Jiang Tianye was stunned for a moment, then nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He smiled and said, "Huanhuan, listen to your grandma and don't go to work today. Later, accompany grandpa and grandma to meet some old friends."
Grandpa had already spoken, so Shen Qinghuan didn't dare to say anything else. He quickly picked up the phone and asked for leave from Assistant Gao.
After asking for leave, she picked up the soup dumplings that had just come out of the pot, blew on them carefully for a while, and ate them with relish.
Fearing that she would choke from the heat, Li Xiangqin quickly asked her to eat slowly.
"Grandma, I'm already eating very slowly."
"Then go a little slower. These soup dumplings are very hot right out of the pot."
"Well, I listen to grandma."
…
A coffee shop.
Li Mingzhu looked down at the coffee in her cup. The slowly rising steam, carrying the rich aroma of coffee, rushed straight into her nostrils.
Sitting opposite her was Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu took a sip of his coffee and looked up at Li Mingzhu. "Tell me! What do you want to talk to me about?"
