Chapter 157 Uncle, You Really Like Her
When Shen Congyu saw this, he laughed sarcastically.
I was so angry that I even wanted to throw my phone away when I saw the message from Chen Yao.
But she couldn't.
Chen Congyu suppressed her discomfort and questioned Chen Yao: "Just because you pursue me, I have to agree to it, right? You've already affected my work."
Chen Yao: [Don’t you like it?]
Chen Congyu: [I don’t like it.]
This straightforward rejection wasn't enough for Chen Congyu, so he added, "Even if you bring the gold mine here, I won't agree to you."
Chen Yao acted as if he didn't understand what she meant and continued to act as he pleased, "If that's the case, then it means I'm not working hard enough."
Chen Congyu was completely speechless.
She simply said: [No more sending, let’s talk in person.]
Now Chen Yao became more talkative. [Okay.]
Shen Congyu ignored him and continued with the work at hand.
After she rested for more than half an hour, she saw that Chen Yao had sent several messages on his own during the half hour that she ignored him.
Are you serious?
【I'll pick you up when you get off work. 】
How about dinner at a restaurant by the harbor? I know one you'd like.
These were not the main points, so Chen Congyu ignored them and just said, "I'll go there by myself."
The harbor area is very prosperous and is a major gathering place for tourism and consumption, but Chen Congyu rarely goes there unless it is necessary. She called a taxi and went there, passing through the bustling streets. She had no time to appreciate the night view around her.
The restaurant Chen Yao booked had an excellent view, offering the most beautiful scenery of the harbor. He must have put a lot of thought into it, because not only was the restaurant expensive, but it also took half a month to make a reservation.
When Shen Congyu arrived at the restaurant, the waiter led her to her seat. Chen Yao had already arrived and was sitting there, looking at her gently as she approached.
"How did you get here?"
Chen Congyu: “Take a taxi.”
Chen Yao said as he handed over the menu, "I can pick you up."
"No need." Chen Congyu didn't answer. This "no need" meant that he didn't need to answer, and also meant that she didn't need to order any food.
Chen Yao didn't seem annoyed and ordered dishes according to Chen Congyu's taste.
He arranges and considers everything for her, and seems to be a very thoughtful and considerate person.
Chen Congyu, on the other hand, seemed very unkind.
She came straight to the point and told him not to waste his time. "What you did was nothing but trouble me. Besides, that's where I work. I value it very much. Don't ruin my business."
"I thought you would like it. Didn't you always like romantic surprises?"
"That depends on the person."
Chen Congyu was very rude.
Chen Yao smiled bitterly. Even though he knew that Shen Congyu's attitude would be like this, he still couldn't do anything to her.
"I like you, I can't bear to see you leave me. If you don't like this way, I can change it. What do you like now?"
Chen Congyu didn't respond, and added, "I know who's behind you, but Gu Yueze is a dangerous man. If you cooperate with him, be careful of a disaster."
"I don't care. I have nothing to lose without you here."
Chen Yao remained unmoved, and Chen Congyu was exhausted. "Whatever you want, but you are not allowed to deliver anything again. Otherwise, I will call the police and report you for harassing me. I will never speak to you again."
Chen Yao looked at him with a burning gaze and nodded in agreement.
The appetizer came, and even though it was her favorite food, she still found it hard to swallow when she saw Chen Yao's face.
Chen Congyu picked up the cup and drank a sip of lemonade, then looked out the floor-to-ceiling window, avoiding eye contact with Chen Yao, but inadvertently saw the words of love appearing on the big screen of the riverside building not far away.
A heart and the initials of three names were simply displayed on the six-digit-a-minute LED screen.
What a coincidence, the same as hers.
Chen Congyu didn't want to be self-indulgent and think that it was for her to see, so she turned her face away. Chen Yao was looking outside seriously.
"You don't like this either?"
Chen Congyu frowned, almost wanting to scold him for having too much money to burn.
Then she thought, let him do as he pleases. It has nothing to do with her if he squanders the money.
She pushed the plate in front of her and said, "I'm leaving."
Chen Yao looked at her with a bit of humility, "You haven't eaten anything."
"You want me to eat more?"
"Um."
Chen Congyu said, "Then go."
She deliberately said something nasty to provoke Chen Yao, "If you leave, I might have an appetite. Looking at you, I don't want to eat a single bite."
Chen Yao fell silent, as if he couldn't believe she would say that.
"Why, don't you have any mercy at all?"
Chen Congyu simply stopped talking nonsense with him. If he didn't listen, then she wouldn't say anything.
She picked up her bag and stood up to leave. Chen Yao stood up and followed her without hesitation.
He quickly caught up with Shen Congyu, grabbed her arm and asked her to stop.
A few minutes ago, at almost the same location upstairs, when letters of confession lit up in the riverside building, the men by the floor-to-ceiling windows did not notice. Although this kind of love show is expensive, it has become commonplace.
Until Zhou Zhou still didn't receive a reply to the message, he put down his phone in frustration and looked outside, only to see the big screen.
He stared at it casually, and at first he felt that the initials of the names looked familiar. After thinking about it, he suddenly laughed.
He patted Yan Zhao's arm and pointed at the big screen and said, "Look at that. Doesn't it look familiar?"
As soon as he said that, the other people at the table all looked over.
Yan Zhao quickly realized what Zhou Zhou meant. He glanced at Jiang Xilin across from him and agreed with Zhou Zhou: "Indeed, I thought you were talking about Chen Congyu, but that's impossible."
Jiang Xilin said nothing, staring at the words displayed on the big screen.
In fact, Zhou Zhou and Yan Zhao had something else in their words, and Jiang Xilin was also aware of it. Only Zhou Yu and another friend at the table could not hear it.
Zhou Yu also heard Yan Zhao say that and said, "It's probably just a coincidence."
Yan Zhao was quick to notice something. "Do you know Shen Congyu?"
Zhou Yu also said: "We can be considered friends."
"How could that be? Last time, I asked Chen Congyu to pretend to be your girlfriend." Jiang Xilin suddenly dropped a bombshell.
Yan Zhao raised his eyebrows.
Zhou Zhou's reaction was the biggest. He opened his eyes wide and said, "What? How come I haven't heard of such an important thing?"
Zhou Yu also smiled helplessly and explained quietly: "Did you miss two words? It's just pretending."
Yan Zhao: "That's unusual, isn't it? If we don't have a good relationship, can we ask her to handle something like this?"
They were talking one by one, and if Zhou Yu didn't explain from the beginning, the misunderstanding would become bigger.
It started from the very beginning when he unintentionally owed Chen Congyu a favor, and it went back and forth until last time when he just happened to ask Chen Congyu to do him a favor.
Yan Zhao said with a half-smile, "Is that so?"
"I was so scared," Zhou Zhou slapped his chest, "I thought you really liked her..."
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of the relationship between Shen Congyu and Jiang Xilin long ago, and was secretly glancing at Jiang Xilin.
Jiang Xilin's face was indifferent, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
However, Yan Zhao then said, "Even if I really like you, there's nothing I can do."
