Chapter 118 Grown Up and Steady
Hu Zi accepted it very quickly, probably because of his personality, he was very direct and straightforward.
He understood what Chen Congyu meant, and decided that it would be fine as long as he could be friends with Chen Congyu.
However, in front of Jiang Xilin, Shen Congyu did not answer too eagerly and said "hmm" calmly.
In fact, she thought that Hu Zi just had some feelings about her at most, but he didn't like her very much yet. It would be better to tell him clearly now, at least he would accept it faster.
After finishing the call with Hu Zi, Chen Congyu asked Jiang Xilin directly, with a little temper, "How is it, did you hear everything clearly? Now you can finally believe that I don't have any other ideas?"
She thought that even if she said it verbally, Jiang Xilin already had a bad impression of her and she was not credible to him.
Rather than wasting words and talking in vain, it would be better to be direct and straightforward. At least it would prove that there was really no possibility that she and Hu Zi had anything going on.
Jiang Xilin listened to the entire thing, but to be honest, after two days of calm, his mood that night had calmed down a lot, but -
"The point is not whether you have something going on with Hu Zi, but the fact that you are hiding it from me."
Chen Congyu said helplessly: "I'm not hiding it, I know that there will be nothing between him and me. Since there is nothing, what else is there to say?"
She said reluctantly, "If I really had an idea, I would never do something as stupid as posting it on my Moments and giving some so-called sneaky hints."
Jiang Xilin smiled.
"You're very confident that you can keep this secret impenetrable, right?"
Chen Congyu learned his lesson this time, "Isn't the matter between you and me well hidden?"
Jiang Xilin stopped looking at her and started eating.
Chen Congyu refused to give in and insisted on finishing the matter today.
She took his arm and said, "Please listen to what I have to say first, okay? I don't have those thoughts at all. Can you please not misunderstand me?"
"So what is this time?"
"This time it's for Miss Duan's sake," Chen Congyu said, "isn't it because she's a little suspicious of me? If I don't get in touch with other men, how can I dispel her doubts?"
Chen Congyu knew that she and Jiang Xilin were now in an unequal position, so it was not her fault this time, but he was unhappy, so she still had to show a good attitude to coax him.
Unlike last time, she had nothing to do with Meng Xianyi and could take the opportunity to vent her anger at him, and he wouldn't settle the score with her later.
Jiang Xilin stopped and turned his head. Her face was very close to his, and she was clinging to his arm, showing a gesture of weakness.
He could actually ask her not to care about Duan Ke, but he didn't want her to know that he and Duan Ke had nothing to do with each other anymore.
In this case, she will be cautious and anxious.
He didn't want to see her living too peacefully or comfortably.
So he said, "You have other ways to solve it."
Chen Congyu couldn't wait to know, "What?"
"Please me and let me deal with her."
Hearing this answer, Chen Congyu felt like there was something stuck in his throat.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Am I not just trying to please you now?"
Jiang Xilin calmly pointed out her problem, "If this matter hadn't been brought up, would you still be like this?"
"If I try to please you, can you really handle Miss Duan?" Chen Congyu didn't believe it. After all, they had a very good relationship and he hadn't heard of any conflicts between them in the past few months. What else could he really do to restrict Duan Ke for her?
Never mind how he was going to explain that behavior to Duan Ke.
"How will you know if you don't try?"
Chen Congyu suddenly lost her temper and let go of his hand, "I don't know how to please you anymore."
She emphasized the word "please".
This was the truth, and she really didn't know what else to do except accompany him.
She didn't have what he needed.
The atmosphere around them grew colder. Jiang Xilin snorted with an ambiguous tone and said, "As long as you're willing to do it, it'll be fine."
Chen Congyu was silent.
Jiang Xilin: "Eat first."
Chen Congyu raised her hand dejectedly. After changing into this outfit, she now looked like a wilted flower.
She ate in silence, but the food tasted like wax. Thinking of her purpose today, she forced herself to cheer up and talk to Jiang Xilin.
"So, can you trust me about this matter?" she repeated. "I really don't have that intention, no matter who it is."
Jiang Xilin glanced at her and said, "Whether it's true or not is not determined by what you say."
Chen Congyu pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and said sadly, "I know."
He didn't rush to leave after dinner, and Shen Congyu had no time to care. The house she rented didn't have any extra facilities, and it was good enough if the daily appliances didn't break down, and she had to wash the dishes by hand.
She cleaned up the kitchen, her back aching. Usually at this time, she would have eaten a simple meal, taken a shower, and rested on the sofa watching TV. But today she had to wait on Jiang Xilin.
The thought of him staying overnight made her lose all energy.
Tentatively, he offered Jiang Xilin some advice, "Can you do less today? Last time, my colleague saw the marks you left, and I was so embarrassed."
"You didn't seem so timid before."
Chen Congyu met his gaze and then understood what he was referring to.
When you first get married, it's like you're in a passionate relationship, and leaving marks on each other's bodies is normal. Sometimes Chen Congyu would cover it up, and sometimes she would order Jiang Xilin not to leave marks on her at night, otherwise she wouldn't let him continue.
Her temper was so capricious at that time that she would not let him continue if he said so. This often tortured Jiang Xilin to the brink of collapse, and he had no choice but to coax her, being very humble, and coaxing her into a happy mood, and then repeatedly assuring her before he could take the next step.
Occasionally, she would miss something and be seen by others. Some would make fun of her, but she didn't care at all and would even say, "It's human nature. Don't you have a partner?"
Sometimes, the other person will even blush when you say it.
The difference from now is like heaven and earth.
Jiang Xilin asked calmly, "I'm curious, how are you doing abroad?"
Chen Congyu lowered her eyelids slightly, and of course she would not tell him the truth.
"Being in a foreign country doesn't mean I'll be more open-minded. I'm grown up and more mature now, isn't that okay?"
Jiang Xilin seemed to have heard a funny joke.
Chen Congyu ignored him and sat on the single sofa with a pillow in her arms.
She changed her clothes specially tonight, but she didn't do so with any intention of seducing anyone, which was contrary to her initial expectation.
Jiang Xilin checked his phone from time to time, waiting for his reply if there was anything.
Chen Congyu really wanted to say that if she had something to do, she could leave first, but she swallowed the words back. She couldn't show in front of him that she didn't want to stay with him.
The living room was too quiet. Shen Congyu felt sleepy as she sat there, and yawned while covering her mouth.
Jiang Xilin cast a glance at her.
"I have something to do later, you can rest assured."
