Chen Ningsheng hummed while holding the box: "This isn't about men working outside and women staying at home. I just wanted to give you all my things. Even if you take these, I won't restrict you from going out to work. Why does it sound to you like this is some kind of feudal idea?"
Xu Xinchen stared intently at Chen Ningsheng, tears welling up in her eyes. Chen Ningsheng's treatment of her left her speechless.
Chen Ningsheng noticed the tears welling up in Xu Xinchen's eyes and was immediately startled. He quickly put the box aside, stepped forward, hugged Xu Xinchen, and coaxed her in a low voice, "Baby, don't cry, don't cry. I just wanted to give you my things."
Xu Xinchen blinked to stop her tears from falling. After a long while, she took a deep breath and began to tell Chen Ningsheng her thoughts, explaining why she couldn't accept what Chen Ningsheng had, and what her own goals were.
After Xu Xinchen's earnest persuasion, Chen Ningsheng finally gave up his decision to hand over that pile of frightening things to her upstairs. Before returning to his study, Chen Ningsheng stared at Xu Xinchen with a very resentful look, seemingly quite dissatisfied that Xu Xinchen was unwilling to accept these things.
Xu Xinchen hummed a song to herself, ignoring Chen Ningsheng's gaze as if it didn't exist. What a joke! If she accepted these things, she would be in big trouble. She wasn't that desperate.
When Chen Ningsheng came out of the study, Xu Xinchen had already composed herself and was now intently watching the drama on television. Although the plots of TV dramas from this era weren't particularly interesting...
But it's pretty good for killing time.
Xu Xinchen herself was a movie queen in her previous life, so when she watches TV dramas, she mainly focuses on the actors' acting skills, etc. As for the plot, she will watch it if she can stand it, and she can ignore it if she can't.
Chen Ningsheng saw Xu Xinchen staring at the TV, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he took the glasses that Xu Xinchen had given him, quietly walked over to Xu Xinchen, and handed the glasses to her.
Xu Xinchen's eyes were initially drawn to something on the television when a pair of glasses suddenly appeared in front of her, startling her for a moment.
"What is this? Why did you suddenly take out these glasses?" Xu Xinchen asked Chen Ningsheng in confusion.
Chen Ningsheng snorted: "Someone came to the company to see me today and told me a lot about these glasses."
"What's the matter?" What could possibly be about these glasses? Xu Xinchen looked completely bewildered, unable to recall what could possibly be about these glasses that would make someone go to Chen Ningsheng to discuss it.
After thinking for a while, seeing the expression on Chen Ningsheng's face, which didn't seem angry, he could only guess and asked, "Someone thought these glasses made you look cheap, so they went to give you their opinion?"
Xu Xinchen didn't think the glasses were ugly, and the facts proved that Chen Ningsheng actually looked quite good in them. Therefore, she had no doubt that the problem was due to the glasses being poorly chosen.
The only thing to consider is the price. After all, the only flaw in these glasses is that they are too cheap, which is completely incompatible with someone of Chen Ningsheng's status.
Chen Ningsheng frowned slightly, reached out and covered Xu Xinchen's cheek, rubbing it gently until...
Her face was flushed red: "Didn't I tell you not to let me hear those kinds of words again?"
Xu Xinchen, both amused and exasperated, let Chen Ningsheng rub her glasses to his heart's content before patting him on the shoulder: "So tell me what's wrong with these glasses? You just popped up and told me out of nowhere that someone mentioned these glasses. How am I supposed to guess?"
Chen Ningsheng pursed his lips: "Did something happen when you bought these glasses yesterday?"
Xu Xinchen thought for a moment, but couldn't recall letting someone else try on the glasses. She could only look at Chen Ningsheng with a puzzled expression and ask, "No, I just bought these glasses as usual. What could be wrong with that?"
Looking at Xu Xinchen's calm expression, Chen Ningsheng unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to ruffle her hair: "Then it's nothing. It's just this person trying to sow discord. Don't worry, I'll take care of her."
Chen Ningsheng wanted to gloss over the matter by being vague. Li Xueyan's target was him, so he could handle it himself. Xu Xinchen didn't need to know too much, so as not to upset her.
But Xu Xinchen was unwilling at this moment. She reached out and grabbed Chen Ningsheng's clothes, and pressed him for an explanation: "What exactly happened? Tell me honestly right now."
Chen Ningsheng raised an eyebrow, looked at Xu Xinchen's persistent expression, and suddenly laughed out loud. He bent down and said to Xu Xinchen, "Someone told me that you originally intended to give these glasses to another man, but that man disliked them, so you gave them to me instead."
These weren't Li Xueyan's original words, but Chen Ningsheng wanted to tease Xu Xinchen, so he changed Li Xueyan's words to say them this way.
Upon hearing Chen Ningsheng's words, Xu Xinchen instantly flew into a rage and slammed her hand on the table: "Nonsense! Who told you that? When did I ever buy this for another man? I don't know anyone here except you, okay?"
"Is that so?" Chen Ningsheng chuckled softly. "What about Gu Yan? Don't you know Gu Yan either?"
Xu Xinchen's arrogance vanished instantly, and she lowered her head and said weakly, "Gu Yan... Gu Yan... He, he was just an accident, and besides, I don't have any contact with him anymore."
Since being discharged from the hospital, Xu Xinchen hadn't seen Gu Yan again and didn't know how he was doing. Chen Ningsheng didn't say anything, and she couldn't even remember that such a person existed.
Chen Ningsheng smiled and glanced at Xu Xinchen, not dwelling on the matter. Instead, he said to Xu Xinchen, "It was Li Xueyan. Li Xueyan inexplicably came to my company today and said those words. However, I actually changed what she said. Li Xueyan's original words were that she saw you behaving intimately with a man in the mall. These glasses were originally worn by that man."
After Chen Ningsheng mentioned it, Xu Xinchen finally realized: "Oh, that, I remember now."
