Chapter 46 Why did you bring her here? ...
"ah?"
Chen Yao'an paused for a moment, her eyes showing a hint of panic, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Xu Jialan crossed her arms, watching her with a leisurely air, clearly displeased. "So you just go whenever someone asks you to?"
Chen Yaoan blinked, realizing what was happening.
"It's all for work."
He didn't speak, but after a while he suddenly said, "I'm going to call Xu Yan."
Why would I call him? To complain?
Xu Jialan had already stood up. She reached out and took his hand, looking up at him.
He turned to look at her and noticed that she hadn't drunk her medicine yet. He took it from her and said, "Open your mouth."
Chen Yao'an obediently opened her mouth.
He poured all the medicine into her mouth at once, and before she could swallow it, a lot of it dribbled down her chin.
He naturally extended his thumb to wipe the medicine from the corner of her mouth, then suddenly his gaze lingered on her pink lips.
Chen Yao'an noticed his gaze, but she didn't move, letting him scrutinize her.
My lips felt like they were on fire, burning intensely.
In the end, Xu Jialan was the first to look away. "I'll call Zhang Ting and ask for leave for you. You can rest at home tomorrow."
"No need, I'll call our director."
Xu Jialan raised an eyebrow. "Alright."
For some reason, Chen Yao'an felt a little disappointed.
The next day, Chen Yaoan didn't go to work, and Xu Jialan went to her house to keep her company. The two of them had nothing to do, so they watched a movie to pass the time.
Xu Jialan cut a plate of fruit and placed it next to her, along with several bags of snacks.
Chen Yao'an rarely eats snacks, but halfway through the movie, she suddenly felt hungry, grabbed a bag, and opened it.
It's a packet of potato chips.
She ate for a while, then turned to look at Xu Jialan beside her, and subconsciously handed him a piece, placing it near his mouth.
"Do you want some?"
Xu Jialan didn't even lift her hand; she simply took the potato chips from her hand with her mouth, her soft lips brushing against her fingers.
Her fingers suddenly felt strange, as if insects were crawling on them, causing a slight pain and itching.
Chen Yao'an's breathing suddenly became rapid, and her whole demeanor became abnormal.
She hated herself for being so spineless, and fearing that Xu Jialan would notice something, she hurriedly fled the place, saying, "I'm going to the restroom."
Then, he ran out.
Hiding in the bathroom and closing the door, Chen Yao'an looked at herself in the mirror. Her cheeks were flushed, like ripe peaches.
She cursed herself inwardly.
Has she been out of love for too long? Just a simple touch has caused her emotions to fluctuate so much.
It took a long time for Chen Yao'an to come out of the bathroom. Her complexion had returned to normal, and she sat down on the sofa again.
I had only been sitting for a short while when a noise came from outside the door.
At first, the two didn't pay attention, until Chen Yaoan realized that the sound was knocking on the door, and it was knocking from next door, with a few words being spoken mixed in.
It sounds like someone is knocking on your door.
Xu Jialan heard it too and stood up from the sofa. "I'll go take a look."
He walked towards the door, and Chen Yao'an followed.
As soon as the door opened, a rapid knocking sound rushed into their ears, sounding rather jarring.
"Xu Jialan, open the door!"
Xu Jialan tapped her ear, replying with exasperation, "I'm here."
Chen Yaoan also looked over and saw Shen Moke.
Shen Moke turned to look at the two of them, who were standing side by side. Her gaze swept over Chen Yaoan.
Finally, her gaze fell on Xu Jialan. "I have something to tell you."
Chen Yaoan couldn't help but glance at Xu Jialan.
Xu Jialan replied calmly, "Okay, let's go to my house."
"good."
Xu Jialan went over and opened the door, and the two of them entered his house one after the other.
Chen Yao'an stood at the door in a daze for a while before silently returning home and closing the door.
The movie was still playing in the living room, but she wasn't really interested in watching it, so she simply walked over and turned off the TV.
The house immediately fell silent.
Chen Yao'an's thoughts began to wander.
What will the two of them say?
Is Shen Moke going to bring up the topic of marriage with Xu Jialan again?
Or are they here to demand an explanation?
Chen Yao'an was getting restless and decided to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water. After she finished, she started staring at the kitchen wall.
Her house is separated from Xu Jialan's house by only one wall. The soundproofing here isn't very good. Could you hear them talking if you pressed your face against the wall?
As she was thinking this, she walked to the wall, pressed her ear against it, and listened for a long time, but couldn't hear anything.
Undeterred, she searched the kitchen for a long time before finally finding a disposable cup and sticking it to the wall, but she still couldn't hear anything.
Chen Yaoan was somewhat discouraged, and at the same time felt that her behavior was very stupid. In the end, she angrily threw the disposable paper cup into the trash can next to her.
On the other side, Xu Jialan kindly poured a glass of water for Shen Moke and placed it in front of her.
Shen Moke stared at him with wide eyes, as if she wanted to devour him.
Xu Jialan sat down opposite her. "Tell me, what did you come to see me for?"
"Shouldn't I be asking you that? Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Xu Jialan shrugged, as if she had nothing to say to her.
“I thought my actions had made things very clear, and besides, I told you from the beginning that I wouldn’t marry you.”
Shen Mo was angered by his attitude. Her nose stung, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced them back.
"Then why did you have to run all the way to hide from me? Am I that annoying to you?"
Xu Jialan picked up her cup and took a sip of water. "I don't want to say anything too hurtful."
Fine! Xu Jialan has dated so many women, but she's the only one he can't handle!
"Just because I want to marry you?"
"I've said it before, I have absolutely no desire to get married." He said in a nonchalant tone.
Shen Moke suddenly thought of Chen Yao'an and sneered, "What about that woman from earlier? Don't you want to marry her either?"
It's clear that Xu Jialan treats her differently.
A crack finally appeared on Xu Jialan's calm and composed face.
Does she know about your idea?
He frowned, his expression turning somewhat grim.
"I think you can go back now."
Having said all that, Shen Moke didn't want to stay any longer.
But Xu Jialan kicked her out of the door without giving her any face at all.
Standing outside the door, Shen Moke couldn't help but shed a few tears, which she then wiped her face hard.
She's not worth it for a man like Xu Jialan!
Wiping away her tears, she walked away in her high heels.
After Xu Jialan left that day, she didn't appear in front of Chen Yaoan again for a whole day.
Chen Yao'an was at home alone, thinking about all sorts of things, but ultimately couldn't come up with a solution.
Didn't Xu Jialan intend to explain this to her?
But what right did she have to ask him to explain to her?
The next morning, Chen Yaoan went to work as usual.
As soon as the door opened, Xu Jialan was raising one hand to knock when the two bumped into each other.
"I'll drive you to work."
Chen Yao'an walked past him toward the door, saying, "No need, I'll take the subway."
Wu Jialan immediately sensed something was wrong and chased after her to the elevator, "What's wrong? Why don't you need me to take you home?"
With a "ding," the elevator arrived at this floor. Chen Yaoan stepped in and pressed the close button, followed closely by Xu Jialan.
He stood behind her, his hands casually in his pockets, and leaned closer to her. "What happened? Why are you so angry?"
"It's nothing," Chen Yaoan said curtly.
Xu Jialan reviewed the events of the past two days and concluded, "You were jealous when Shen Moke came to see me yesterday?"
Chen Yao'an's face flushed instantly, and she was somewhat embarrassed and angry. "Who's jealous! No way!"
The elevator arrived, and Chen Yao'an stepped out hurriedly.
Xu Jialan followed, not bringing up the previous topic again, "It's a bit far from the subway station, I'll take you there."
Chen Yao'an originally intended to take the bus, but he somehow managed to pull her into his car.
Xu Jialan kept her word and escorted her to the subway entrance.
While taking Chen Yao'an home, Xu Jialan bumped into Liu Minggan at the doorstep of her house.
Liu Minggan was there to deliver wedding invitations for Xu Qingbang. "The chairman's wedding is scheduled for a week from now."
Xu Jialan took the invitation, glanced at it, and then scoffed, "Aifei Manor, Xu Qingbang really went all out."
Liu Minggan didn't say anything, "The chairman wants you to attend on time."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely be there on time."
Liu Minggan was relieved and left quickly.
On the other side, Chen Yao'an had just arrived at the company when she heard that the model photos for the latest season's clothing had been released, and Xia Miao specially showed them to her.
Besides Shen Moke, there were several other models in the model photos, but she noticed Shen Moke immediately; she was truly eye-catching and outstanding.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard Xia Miao sigh beside me, "It's a pity, Shen Moke's performance wasn't as good as before."
Chen Yao'an looked up, somewhat puzzled, "Isn't this good?"
“You haven’t seen her before.” As she spoke, she showed Chen Yao’an old photos of her as a model. “You’ll see the difference when you compare them.”
Chen Yaoan compared the two pictures of Shen Moke and indeed, Shen Moke's condition was not as good as before. She was much thinner now, so she looked somewhat gaunt when showing off the clothes.
"Love can really be a terrible thing, even someone as outstanding as Shen Moke is no exception."
Chen Yao'an fell silent and did not speak.
Her phone rang; it was Xu Yan, asking her to come to his office.
Apart from the day she first started working, when they briefly met, Xu Yan hadn't contacted her at all in all these days. She wondered what was going on.
She entered Xu Yan's office, and he gestured for her to sit down.
"What brings you here, Mr. Xu?"
Have you heard that Xu Jialan's father is getting married?
Marriage? She was taken aback.
"I haven't heard of it."
"Didn't Xu Jialan tell you?"
"No." However, this didn't seem to concern her, it was just Xu Jialan…
"The wedding is next week, and I'll be going. Why don't you come with me?"
Chen Yao'an was somewhat surprised, "Why?"
Xu Yan looked worried. "I'm afraid Xu Jialan might do something outrageous. If anything happens, you can help stop her."
She shouldn't have attended the wedding, but thinking of Xu Jialan, Chen Yao'an agreed without hesitation, "Okay."
Xu Yan immediately smiled and said, "Okay, it's settled then."
"good."
When Chen Yaoan got home that night, she couldn't help but knock on Xu Jialan's door, but no one answered. This happened several times.
Over the next few days, Chen Yaoan did not see Xu Jialan. She sent him messages, but he only said that he had things to do these days and was out of town.
Until the day before Xu Qingbang's wedding, Chen Yaoan and Xu Yan set off for Haishi a day early.
I heard that Xu Qingbang will hold his wedding at the manor over there.
Early in the morning, Xu Yan had someone pick her up and take her to the airport. The two met in the airport hall, and as soon as she arrived, Xu Yan took her to board the plane.
As soon as Chen Yaoan boarded the plane, he was amazed. The plane looked no different from other airport passenger planes on the outside, but the inside was completely different.
The cabin was lavishly decorated, with the amenities of a luxury mansion. The seats were genuine leather sofas, and there was even a kitchen fully equipped with appliances. To her surprise, there was also a separate home theater.
The world of the rich is indeed beyond her imagination.
At that moment, she realized that she and Xu Jialan should have come from two different worlds and should not have any interaction at this moment.
Just as she was lost in these thoughts, she heard Xu Jialan's voice.
"Why did you bring her here?"
