Chapter 185 Tangled
Chen Congyu didn't want to reveal her relationship with Jiang Xilin before, and it's the same now.
After all, he had a girlfriend before, and now he says he broke up with Duan Ke, but in the eyes of the public, they are still a couple.
Her situation remained unchanged.
So when Jiang Xilin sat down next to her, her back stiffened unconsciously.
Probably because they had seen a lot of things in the magazine, and just because Jiang Xilin had a girlfriend in public, they did not avoid asking about his relationship with Shen Congyu.
"It turns out Cong Yu has such a good relationship with Boss Jiang. He's too low-key. The interview with Boss Jiang should have been left to you."
From the beginning, Chen Congyu didn't want to admit that she was friends with Jiang Xilin. She was now worried that she wouldn't be able to play the role of a 'good' friend well.
But if he was too cold, it would seem strange that Jiang Xilin came over.
She could only vaguely say, "No, work is work, we have to keep it separate."
"Don't be so modest. Otherwise, how could we have dinner with Boss Jiang here? You're such a fool! You didn't even tell us in advance."
Chen Congyu laughed dryly twice, "I didn't know he would come."
Jiang Xilin took over her words very naturally, "You don't have to worry about me, just talk about whatever you want to talk about."
Jiang Xilin's personality is pretty good. He is not as pretentious and distant as those big bosses, so as long as he wants, he can quickly integrate into a normal group.
So Shen Congyu and his colleagues were stiff for a while, but soon relaxed.
Jiang Xilin joined the dinner and even drank with them.
Shen Congyu didn't drink. When she was about to refuse, Jiang Xilin stood up and said, "I'll drink with everyone on her behalf. Someone has to stay to drive."
Since he said so, there was no need for others to force Shen Congyu to drink. While praising Jiang Xilin for being a good person, he began to become more curious about the relationship between the two.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, his words and even the look in his eyes made it clear, and Jiang Xilin didn't say a word of explanation.
Chen Congyu couldn't sit still and said, "It's really not what everyone thinks. We are just friends and have known each other for many years."
I don't know how much they believed it, but she brought it out into the open, and the topic gradually turned to other things.
Chen Congyu was already absent-minded, hoping it would be over soon, but Jiang Xilin was calm and composed, as if these were his colleagues.
Before the end of the dinner, Jiang Xilin handed Chen Congyu a card under the table and asked her to pay the bill.
Chen Congyu was not polite and said he would go out to make a phone call and took his card to pay the bill.
After she came back and sat for a few minutes, the time was almost up.
Because there were so many people, Shen Congyu deliberately did not stand next to Jiang Xilin when leaving, and blended in with other people.
The colleague who organized the party went to the front desk to pay the bill and was told that it had already been paid. He soon realized that it was Jiang Xilin and came back to thank Jiang Xilin.
A meal wouldn't be too expensive, but it was more than just the price of a meal with Jiang Xilin.
Jiang Xilin is very easy to get along with. Someone came up and asked for his contact information, and he accepted it.
Chen Congyu stood by and watched, wanting to go back quickly, but when she thought about having to face Jiang Xilin when she went back, she got a headache.
After getting in the car, Chen Congyu silently acted as the driver. Jiang Xilin sat in the passenger seat and looked at his mobile phone for a while. He didn't say anything, and Chen Congyu was happy and comfortable.
When they returned to Jinghu, Auntie knew that the two of them would not be coming back for dinner that night, so she had already rested in the room after cleaning up.
There were only the two of them in the huge living room, and Shen Congyu didn't want to stay any longer. Jiang Xilin saw through her thoughts and called her.
"Make me a cup of honey water."
Chen Congyu didn't want to care.
And he wasn't so drunk that he couldn't walk steadily.
She tried to ignore him, but Jiang Xilin sat down on the sofa and said, "I'm drinking with your colleagues, why don't you even give me a glass of water?"
Chen Congyu: "I didn't ask you to drink with them."
"If I don't drink, I'm not giving you face."
"You always have so many reasons."
Chen Congyu couldn't argue with him and thought he talked too much, so she went to the kitchen to pour him some water.
She didn't hand it to him, but placed it on the coffee table in front of him and asked him, "Why did you go there tonight? You knew they would definitely recognize you, so you deliberately wanted them to speculate about our relationship, didn't you?"
Jiang Xilin drank half a cup of warm water, which moistened his throat, and said in a gentle voice, "Didn't you explain everything?"
"Can I not explain? I had no choice, okay?"
The more Shen Congyu thought about it, the more he felt that he did it on purpose.
She said angrily: "I wanted to say that I don't know you well, but who told you to go to me?"
Jiang Xilin stared at her: "You look so busy every day, going out early and coming back late. Can't I know what you are busy with?"
"What I'm busy with is none of your business."
Jiang Xilin: "It's normal if you're really busy with work, but you're obviously pretending to be busy."
Chen Congyu looked away, "Because I don't want to see you."
"I know," Jiang Xilin said slowly, "but if you use work as an excuse again, I'll have to consider whether to let you go out to work."
"You're threatening me again."
Jiang Xilin nodded and asked her, "Who asked you to do such an excessive thing?"
Chen Congyu almost laughed out of anger, "Did I go too far?"
"certainly."
Chen Congyu didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.
She took her bag and went upstairs, not wanting to stay in the same room with him.
While showering, she couldn't help but think that Jiang Xilin was very likely to do what he said. Even if she didn't agree, if she continued to deliberately leave early and come back late, this man would probably really make her unable to leave the house.
Rest tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Chen Congyu took a longer bath to sleep better at night. The sound of the shower drowned out the subtle movement outside, making her unaware.
She finished her skin care in the bathroom and blow-dried her hair before going out.
The light in the room was dim, unlike before she entered the bathroom. She immediately looked at the person beside the bed warily, standing still and refusing to move forward.
"What are you doing here?"
Jiang Xilin had already taken a shower, and the drunken look on his face had faded. He looked at her with amusement, "This is my home."
Chen Congyu paused and said, “The master bedroom is next door.”
"I want to sleep here, is that not okay?"
Unable to argue with him, Chen Congyu chose to keep quiet.
She walked over, picked up her phone and prepared to change rooms.
Even though she knew she couldn't escape sleeping with Jiang Xilin if she moved in, she still wanted to resist.
Before her hand touched the door handle, Jiang Xilin picked her up from behind by the waist.
There was a difference in their body sizes, and Jiang Xilin had a habit of exercising, so it was effortless for him to pick her up.
A sense of security has turned into a sense of crisis at this time.
Shen Congyu struggled to stay away from him, but his purpose tonight was clear.
I don’t know if it’s Shen Congyu’s illusion, but I always feel that Jiang Xilin is particularly clingy after drinking tonight.
She was almost on the verge of collapse because of him, and she couldn't help but hit him.
She wanted to hit him on the shoulder to make him move away, but he just leaned over to kiss her, and the slap, neither too heavy nor too light, went astray and hit him in the face.
