Chapter 213 Yao Yao, why did you agree to marry me?
Zhou Huaiyan was very busy, so he left after giving a few instructions.
Cui Yong's matter has been resolved, but because of his commotion, Jiang Xingyao and the others' flight was still delayed.
Jiang Xingyao's phone was also trampled and damaged by Cui Yong's men.
Madam Rongyue's ticket was rescheduled for tomorrow. She was a little frightened and her complexion was not good. Jiang Xingyao took her back to her room first before going out to fix her phone.
As soon as Jiang Xingyao stepped out of the elevator, she saw Jin Qingyu sitting in the lobby on the first floor. They had barely met when Jin Qingyu walked towards her and said, "Where are you going? I'll take you."
"What are you doing here today?" Jiang Xingyao asked, her gaze lowering slightly and landing on Jin Qingyu's hand, which was in a cast.
Jin Qingyu said, "I was going to take you to the airport, but I didn't expect this to happen. Where do you want to go? I'll take you."
He didn't mention a word about yesterday's unpleasant parting, as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Xingyao hesitated for a moment, then Jin Qingyu said, "Let's go. Consider it for your safety, so don't refuse."
The incident involving Assistant Yu and Cui Yong did leave Jiang Xingyao somewhat shaken, and she eventually got into Jin Qingyu's car, albeit reluctantly.
It wasn't convenient for Jin Qingyu, so Assistant Xu was driving.
Jiang Xingyao and Jin Qingyu both sat in the back seat, but there was a long distance between them, as if a silent boundary had been drawn between them.
Assistant Xu watched all this through the rearview mirror, a dark glint flashing in his eyes. As he turned, he made a huge turn of the steering wheel.
The wheels screeched loudly on the ground. Jiang Xingyao, who was still somewhat dazed, was thrown to the side by the violent shaking. Jin Qingyu reacted quickly and reached out to protect her head, preventing her from hitting the glass next to her.
Feeling the warmth from the man's hand, Jiang Xingyao reached out to push him away, but Jin Qingyu withdrew his hand instead: "How do you drive?"
Assistant Xu said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jin, there was a car next to us just now, and I had to dodge it. Are you alright?"
He apologized, but his gaze returned through the rearview mirror. When he met Jin Qingyu's cold eyes, he saw that Jin Qingyu and Jiang Xingyao had distanced themselves from each other again.
The person who usually loved to do things his own way suddenly became very polite, which made Assistant Xu feel quite uncomfortable.
He really couldn't understand when their CEO, Mr. Jin, had become so polite.
He had just gone to great lengths to create opportunities for President Jin, but President Jin refused them all.
"Drive carefully," Jin Qingyu warned Assistant Xu in a cold voice.
His own heart was also filled with a multitude of conflicting emotions.
The lingering itch from Jiang Xingyao's hair still lingered, a tingling, numb sensation that seemed to penetrate the skin, pass through the blood vessels, and spread to the heart.
Jin Qingyu twirled his fingers, his expression growing increasingly grim. He wanted to get closer to Jiang Xingyao, but yesterday's events kept reminding him that Jiang Xingyao would not tolerate even the slightest transgression from him now.
If he ignores everything, the outcome will only be the same as yesterday, with Jiang Xingyao leaving without any mercy.
This is not the outcome Jin Qingyu wanted to see.
He could only suppress his own nature and try his best to act like a gentle and polite gentleman, testing the waters little by little and getting closer step by step.
The buildings outside the car window rushed past. Jiang Xingyao had her back to Jin Qingyu, but she could still feel an aggressive gaze fixed on her neck, like a beast eyeing its prey, patiently and intently waiting to drag it into its lair.
A slight panic rose in her heart. When Jiang Xingyao turned around, she was met with the gentle smile of the man beside her.
Jin Qingyu asked with concern, "What's wrong, Yaoyao? Did Xu Wei drive erratically and make you feel unwell?"
"No," Jiang Xingyao said. The other person's concerned voice sounded particularly abrupt, strange, and unfamiliar to her.
Just then, the car stopped in front of the mobile phone store that Jiang Xingyao was looking for. Jin Qingyu and Jiang Xingyao got out of the car one after the other. He said, "Yaoyao, wait for me for a moment."
Jiang Xingyao paused for a moment, then saw Jin Qingyu run to the convenience store next door. Not long after, he returned, took a piece of fruit candy, and handed it to Jiang Xingyao: "Eat a piece of candy to calm down, maybe it will make you feel better."
His words of concern, once again made Jiang Xingyao feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Xingyao said, "Jin Qingyu, you don't need to do this."
Jin Qingyu said, "What I want to do and how I want to do it is my own business, Yao Yao doesn't need to worry about it."
Jiang Xingyao couldn't persuade him, so she didn't say anything more and went straight into the mobile phone store in front.
Jin Qingyu didn't follow immediately. He looked at Jiang Xingyao's back, still holding the piece of fruit candy he hadn't been able to hand over, and stammered, "Xu Wei, I think I might like Yaoyao."
Assistant Xu had just closed the car door when he heard this sentence and felt a little stunned. He said, "Mr. Jin, you only realized today that you like your wife?"
"Then why have you been searching for her tirelessly for so long, without sleep or rest?"
“Possessiveness,” Jin Qingyu said. “I thought I just wanted to possess her and keep her within my sight.”
That's not actually the case.
Suddenly, I didn't want to force her to leave. I wanted to respect her choice and wait for her to come home with me willingly.
Xu Wei, I think I've really started to like her, without even realizing it.
He had already been thinking about this problem when he met Jiang Xingyao this time.
He thought that he had been looking for Jiang Xingyao for so long, and that Jiang Xingyao had been avoiding him for so long, even changing her name.
When he saw Jiang Xingyao again, he should have been furious and taken her away immediately, but he didn't have that thought at all.
Before rescuing Jiang Xingyao in the park that day, he had actually been there for a while. He didn't even directly disturb Jiang Xingyao; he just quietly watched as Jiang Xingyao finished talking with Assistant Yu.
Even the fact that Jiang Xingyao changed her name and avoided him didn't really ignite much anger in his heart.
Jin Qingyu's voice was excessively sincere.
Assistant Xu remained silent for a moment before finally revealing the truth: "Mr. Jin, but your wife seems a bit hard to please."
Jin Qingyu's expression darkened slightly. He glanced at Assistant Xu but did not refute him.
Without realizing it, he had already pushed Jiang Xingyao further and further away, and his feelings for her came a little late.
Jiang Xingyao's phone still contains many important documents, and the reason she came for repairs was because of the contents of her phone.
The phone can't be turned on now, and it will take some time to repair and check it, so Jiang Xingyao has no choice but to leave it at the store for now.
When she came out again, Jin Qingyu and Assistant Xu were still walking at the door. The two exchanged a few words, and Assistant Xu said to Jiang Xingyao in a somewhat anxious tone, "Madam, I suddenly have an urgent matter to attend to. Please take Mr. Jin to the hospital to change his dressing."
Before Jiang Xingyao could even refute him, Assistant Xu had already gotten into a taxi parked on the side of the road and left the car there.
Jiang Xingyao frowned slightly, then glanced at Jin Qingyu's hand, which was still in a cast: "Are you going to the hospital to change your dressing?"
"Yaoyao, I can't drive right now, am I troubling you too much?" Jin Qingyu seemed not to notice Jiang Xingyao's resistance and went straight for her.
Jiang Xingyao's gaze never left his arm. She asked, "What trick are you trying to pull now? Your hand was in a cast yesterday, and you want to change the dressing today? Do you think I have no common sense?"
"Of course not, Yao Yao, I would never think of you that way."
Perhaps I was too rushed yesterday, and my hand wasn't bandaged properly. It's been hurting a lot, and I'd like to go to the hospital to get it checked out again.
"If you find it troublesome, then forget it," Jin Qingyu said.
His voice was a little stiff, and his expression was somewhat awkward.
What terrible idea did Xu Wei come up with? Telling him to play the victim in front of Yao Yao.
Jin Qingyu found the words strange, and for some reason, they reminded him of Jiang Cancan.
Jin Qingyu was barely able to suppress his irritation. Just as he was about to say something to cover it up, Jiang Xingyao suddenly said, "Get in the car."
Jin Qingyu's injuries were ultimately caused by saving her.
Now that she's here, there's no reason for me to refuse.
A fleeting look of surprise crossed Jin Qingyu's face before he eagerly got into the passenger seat.
After Jiang Xingyao got into the car, she saw him struggling to fasten the seatbelt with one hand. She sighed, leaned over to help him fasten it, and then started the car.
Jin Qingyu's gaze hardly left Jiang Xingyao's profile. His Adam's apple bobbed a few times before he finally asked, seemingly casually, "Yaoyao, why did you agree to marry me back then?"
When Jiang Xingyao came to the Jin family with a marriage proposal, the person her grandfather most wanted was Jin Yanzhou.
Although he had asked his grandfather for the marriage.
But Jiang Xingyao did not resist and agreed directly.
At that time, no one knew about Jin Yanzhou and Shen Ying's relationship. Everyone thought Jin Yanzhou was single. Even though he had replaced Jin Yanzhou and become the head of the Jin family, Jin Yanzhou was still much better than him in terms of reputation.
Jin Qingyu suddenly wondered what Jiang Xingyao's mindset was when she married him.
Jiang Xingyao's heart skipped a beat at Jin Qingyu's words. The excitement and hope of her youth were worn away and turned into bitterness. Jiang Xingyao's voice was flat: "It's probably because I want to leave the Jiang family too much."
Because she wanted to leave the Jiang family so much, when she was sixteen, after hearing for the first time that Jin Qingyu had quickly established himself in the Jin family as an outsider with swift and decisive means, she foolishly focused all her attention on Jin Qingyu.
She observed him, tried to understand him, and attempted to learn from him, in order to take the Qu family back from Jiang Yuncheng.
Just watching, I lost my heart.
Looking back now, Jiang Xingyao finds her foolish girlish thoughts back then laughable.
She clearly didn't understand him at all, and Jin Qingyu was completely unaware of her existence at the time, yet she still lost her heart to him.
