Chapter 159 I Want to Marry You
Chen Congyu's gesture of showing goodwill to Jiang Xilin can be said to be familiar.
Even though their last meeting was so unpleasant, she couldn't be angry with him.
Continuing to bring it up would only make the conflict continue. She felt that she didn't have the ability to change the outcome, so she could only cowardly turn the page.
After a long night of tossing and turning, she felt a little tired. She leaned against Jiang Xilin, and even her voice became a little vague: "If I hadn't happened to run into you guys there tonight, Chen Yao would definitely not give up so quickly."
Out of intuition, Shen Congyu chose to explain to him first why she suddenly chose Zhou Yu because it was also her boyfriend's business.
Jiang Xilin raised his arms and held her in his arms, and asked her, "How long has he been here?"
"The last time he came here to see me, it was just two days after I came back from the hospital."
Chen Congyu told Jiang Xilin the story behind how Chen Yao was able to escape and come to Haicheng, and of course he also had his own thoughts.
He helped her deal with Chen Yao and also helped Wen Song.
Jiang Xilin's arm was placed on her shoulder, his palm hanging down, his fingertips lightly rubbing her arm, just as vague as his attitude.
Chen Congyu waited for him to speak.
After a moment's thought, she added, "He sends flowers and afternoon tea to our magazine every day, which is really bothering me. So tonight I wanted to talk to him face to face and make things clear. Later, when I met you guys, I had no choice but to find Mr. Zhou. He's the most suitable person."
Even though this was the truth, Jiang Xilin still had to ask her, "Aren't you afraid that the truth about you two will be spread out in the future?"
"How is that possible? It's fake the moment I think about it." Chen Congyu guessed that he must be testing her again, so she denied it without hesitation.
Jiang Xilin pinched her chin with his backhand, lifted her face up and made her look at him.
"Since Chen Yao has someone helping him, I'll have to take a closer look at the situation."
Shen Congyu pursed her lips lightly, “Yeah.”
The distance between them was shortened, their auras almost merging. Jiang Xilin stared into her dark and calm eyes and asked her in a low voice, "How many days did you rest before going to work?"
"Two days."
Chen Congyu was not used to such a close distance. She pushed his hand away, wanting him to let go, but when they just touched, he held it in his palm and kissed her.
Chen Congyu was almost half-held in his arms, unable to avoid it, and they kissed on the sofa in such an intimate posture.
The air was mixed together, and Jiang Xilin's breathing was a little heavy. Shen Congyu was very familiar with his style in this regard when he was not angry.
Because she was familiar with it, she was also very practical and gradually got involved in it.
From the sofa to the bedroom, Shen Congyu's strength was completely drained.
Having not eaten anything in the evening and tossing and turning until so late, Chen Congyu lay on the pillow, feeling hollowed out from the inside out.
She closed her eyes and heard Jiang Xilin get up from the bed. She asked him to help her get her cell phone.
Not long after, something cool touched her cheek. Shen Congyu opened her eyes and saw Jiang Xilin standing by the bed, holding her cell phone against her face.
He asked her, "Why do you need a cell phone? No one is looking for you."
"I'm hungry."
She wanted to order something to eat, otherwise she would be too hungry and might not sleep well at night.
Jiang Xilin said, "Go wash first."
After sweating, Chen Congyu felt uncomfortable, so he had to get up and take a shower.
I took a soak in the hot water in the bathroom, washed away some of my fatigue, and just wanted to sleep comfortably.
After washing, Shen Congyu walked out of the bathroom and could vaguely smell the smell of food. She wiped the water from the end of her hair and walked towards the kitchen. She saw Jiang Xilin standing in front of the kitchen counter with his back to her and stopped.
Jiang Xilin is cooking.
After confirming this, Shen Congyu walked over to see, "What are you cooking?"
Jiang Xilin turned around when he heard the voice and asked, "Noodles, do you want to eat?"
Shen Congyu nodded.
"Almost done."
Before Chen Congyu came out of the kitchen, he took a closer look. The portion was not for one person. It seemed that he also wanted to have a midnight snack.
Jiang Xilin is a good cook. She hasn't eaten there for a long time. It's not a question of whether he cooks or not, but he still wants her to serve him, so how could he cook for her?
It just happened tonight.
Anyway, as long as she has something to eat, it's fine.
Chen Congyu blew her hair half dry and sat down to eat noodles with Jiang Xilin.
She was indeed very hungry. Even the noodles cooked by Jiang Xilin were delicious and aroused her appetite. She ate the noodles seriously without saying a word.
Jiang Xilin took his time and asked her, "I heard from the original case that your magazine contacted him and is planning to interview me."
"Yes, I was on break a few days ago, so it was my colleague who contacted me."
Jiang Xilin: "So will it be your turn then?"
Chen Congyu thought about the previous work arrangements. It was indeed her who was responsible for the communication matters before the interview, but she also remembered that she had contacted Duan Ke on the way back. Duan Ke asked her when she could leave and she was already prepared.
In front of Jiang Xilin, Shen Congyu didn't want to be exposed, but he really couldn't give an accurate answer.
She lowered her head and picked at the vegetables in the bowl, and said vaguely, "I don't know how to arrange it then. I'm not sure."
Fortunately, Jiang Xilin was not really curious and quickly turned the page.
Jiang Xilin stayed overnight, and his clothes and some daily necessities were left at Shen Congyu's place long ago. Shen Congyu was in a trance when she was sorting them out.
Thinking about how Jiang Xilin disliked the place where she lived at the beginning, she can tolerate it now.
Not long after eating the noodles, Chen Congyu fell asleep and ignored Jiang Xilin. He didn't continue to bother her, but he woke her up in the morning.
Did it once.
This caused her to wake up twenty minutes later than the alarm clock, and she would probably be late for work.
In the end, Jiang Xilin drove her to the intersection next to the magazine.
Shen Congyu requested this, fearing she would be seen by someone she knew at the door. Before getting out of the car, she looked left and right, like a thief, and only pushed the door open and got out after making sure there were no familiar people around.
Jiang Xilin was too lazy to talk to her.
After Chen Congyu went upstairs, she saw the familiar scene of the past few days, with flowers piled up around her workstation.
My colleagues around me have gone from being surprised and envious at the beginning to being familiar with me now.
Chen Congyu felt embarrassed to trouble her aunt to deal with it, so she moved the flowers on the seat to the corner while her hands were still busy.
She had just finished when she was called to the minister's office.
"What's going on recently? I thought you could handle it, but it's been a few days. Don't let your personal matters affect our department's work."
Shen Congyu was afraid that Chen Yao would cause trouble, but she still came.
She humbly apologized and explained, "Because he was harassing me, I refused but he didn't listen, so I haven't dealt with it yet. I will do it as soon as possible and won't delay my work."
But in fact, Chen Congyu really couldn't think of how to make Chen Yao stop insisting on his own way.
Fortunately, the minister reminded her and did not really affect her work.
She came out of the minister's office, thinking of those words, and searched the Internet for an ordinary flower shop. She sold the flowers that Chen Yao had given her to them at a low price. They were all imported, and there were people who wanted them even if she sold them a second time.
After finishing all this, Shen Congyu forced himself to get into work mode.
Later, when she was about to get off work, she suddenly received a call from Shen You. He hesitantly said, "Sister, did you know? Chen Yao is here again. This time he called Grandpa and said he wants to marry you."
