Chapter 124 In the Wardrobe
Jiang Xilin was in the study, the door of which was closed, completely isolating him from any noise.
Shen Congyu stood at the door for a while with the medicine box, then went to the living room to wait.
She had come here many times, but each time she had a clear purpose and she had no extra opportunity or time to look at his villa.
The area is not particularly large, the location is very good, the garden is fully equipped, and the surroundings are quiet and private. There is no need to elaborate on these. Jinghu Lake is famous and you have heard of it even without seeing it in person.
Chen Congyu still remembers the surprise she felt when she first came here. This surprise was due to the real change in Jiang Xilin's identity.
For a house in Jinghu, money is just the most basic stepping stone.
But after entering, I found that the house was very simple, just like a hotel, with everything available and the best configuration, but it was cold and unpopular.
It stands to reason that one can tell a person's character from where he lives. Chen Congyu thought about it and realized that this was no longer applicable to Jiang Xilin.
He is by no means such a dull character.
Nothing in this house made Shen Congyu feel a sense of belonging.
Chen Congyu was still thinking that it was because Jiang Xilin was too busy, but he seemed to have lived here for a long time.
Before she could figure out what was going on, the study door opened.
Jiang Xilin was wearing a thin shirt with loose collar and sleeves. He still had his glasses on and looked tired from his illness.
Chen Congyu took the medicine box and followed him into his bedroom, saying, “Your assistant said you were sick before he left. Can you take your temperature?”
"Put it there first."
Chen Congyu put it down, didn't leave, stood and waited.
Jiang Xilin went into the cloakroom and came out with his shirt off and pants changed, holding his home jacket in his hand. Seeing Shen Congyu standing there, he took another look.
"What are you still standing here for?"
Chen Congyu just glanced at his naked upper body and then turned away, the traces she left on his body last night still floating in front of her eyes.
Said: "Take your temperature so I can get you some water and medicine."
Jiang Xilin said as he put on his clothes, "You're so aware today."
Chen Congyu didn't think he was praising her sincerely.
She curled her lips and handed over the thermometer.
Jiang Xilin took it, and she turned around to pour him some water.
The weather in Haicheng from spring to early summer is mostly rainy, which makes people uncomfortable. Chen Congyu doesn't like it very much. Fortunately, she changed into a windproof jacket when she went out under the command of Jiang Xilin last night, otherwise she would suspect that she would catch a cold too.
Jiang Xilin took his temperature, which was 38 degrees. He sat down beside the bed and suddenly coughed a few times.
Shen Congyu went to the medicine box to find medicine, and brought the warm water and medicine to Jiang Xilin.
The divided pills were placed in her palm. Jiang Xilin took a look at them, then his gaze moved up and stopped at her face.
A serious face.
Jiang Xilin spoke his mind, "Why are you so considerate now?"
"Your assistant has entrusted me with the task of taking care of you. How can I not do it?" Chen Congyu said in a muffled voice: "Besides, didn't you say that I do nothing but sleep with you? Shouldn't I show some more?"
Jiang Xilin did not respond to her.
He took the pills from her palm and took the water.
Chen Congyu's palm was lightly rubbed by his fingertips, and it felt itchy. She put her hand behind her back and rubbed it.
Jiang Xilin took the medicine and prepared to go to bed. Shen Congyu watched him and waited for him to lie down so that she could leave.
He had just put on the quilt when his cell phone rang.
Chen Congyu didn't see Duan Ke's call.
Jiang Xilin looked up at her and picked up the phone.
"Hello."
"You're here?"
Shen Congyu focused his attention.
She waited without blinking for Jiang Xilin to speak.
Jiang Xilin turned on the hands-free mode in front of her.
Duan Ke's voice came out clearly: "Yes, my mother had surgery thanks to you asking the Yan family for help, so she got some good things and asked me to send them to you. Are you home? Upstairs?"
Jiang Xilin's slippers were not seen at the entrance downstairs, so Duan Ke said that.
Jiang Xilin still looked at Chen Congyu and replied to Duan Ke, "Yes, I just had a meeting."
"Then I'll put my things away and come up to find you later. I'm hanging up now."
When Chen Congyu heard this, he immediately prepared to leave before Duan Ke came up.
Jiang Xilin put down his phone and said, "Are you leaving now because you want to run into her?"
Chen Congyu didn't know how he could be so calm. Was he really fearless, or did he think she would find a way?
She said anxiously, "What should we do? Why didn't you just say you were busy and let her go first?"
Jiang Xilin said jokingly: "She is my girlfriend. She came here specially to give me something. Is it appropriate for me to chase her away?"
Chen Congyu had said the wrong thing, so she planned to hide next door first.
As she walked to the bedroom door and opened it, Shen Congyu keenly heard footsteps on the stairs. She couldn't see and couldn't be sure whether Duan Ke was about to reach the second floor. If she went out now, she might be seen by Duan Ke.
After thinking for two seconds, Shen Congyu closed the door again and walked towards his cloakroom under Jiang Xilin's gaze.
She was flustered and had a serious expression. Jiang Xilin was no different from an outsider.
No matter how unhappy Chen Congyu was, he couldn't say anything at the moment.
She picked the innermost wardrobe, opened it, and went inside.
The probability of Duan Ke suddenly coming to the cloakroom is relatively small.
Chen Congyu hid well, without seeing any light from outside, and finally felt a little safe.
She began to recall that it was a good thing she didn't take off her coat when she was downstairs, otherwise she would not have remembered to put it up and Duan Ke would have seen it immediately.
She did change her shoes, but she was thoughtful and put them in the corner of the shoe cabinet, covering them with Jiang Xilin's leather shoes.
Ever since Duan Ke picked up her earrings last time and she had a strange feeling, she has been extra careful when interacting with Jiang Xilin.
Today was an accident.
If Jiang Xilin hadn't suddenly fallen ill, she would have gone back earlier.
Now I have to hide in this closet.
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to express what I’ve done.
Chen Congyu waited for a while, and vaguely heard someone talking outside, a little far away, as if not close to the cloakroom.
She hesitated for a moment, then gently opened the wardrobe door a little, letting the sounds outside in.
Duan Ke was asking about Jiang Xilin's situation.
The conversation between the two was calm, without much ups and downs.
Jiang Xilin was always calm.
Chen Congyu was very angry when he heard this.
Every time, he sat on the podium, watching her nervousness and panic, watching her heart suffer.
Chen Congyu really couldn't understand why he would do all this if he was so close to Duan Ke.
Is this really what men think? She can't understand.
The closet was filled with the familiar scent of Jiang Xilin, which had gathered and become much stronger.
For the first time, Chen Congyu didn't feel that fond of it.
He is so aggressive that it seems like everything related to him is pervasive.
