Chapter 223 What Do You Take Me For?
When they went back, just like when they came, Chen Congyu and Yuan Qi took the same car.
On the yacht, Yuan Qi had just told Shen Congyu that he liked her, and was politely rejected by Shen Congyu. When they rode in the same car again, the atmosphere was a bit more awkward than before.
Obviously this was not what Yuan Qi wanted to see, so he continued to talk to Shen Congyu normally.
It is beneficial not to speak too stiffly. It can be relieved by being a little more lively.
Yuan Qi said, "Sister, I don't want what I said to affect our relationship. This is not what I want to see."
Shen Congyu didn't say much after getting in the car, and he thought it was because of him.
Actually, it was because of Jiang Xilin.
Chen Congyu was in a good mood and said to Yuan Qi: "No, you don't need to think so much."
"Really? I'm glad you didn't."
Yuan Qi loosened his grip on the steering wheel.
Returning to their residential complex, Yuan Qi discovered that Jiang Xilin's car had also followed them in. He was puzzled, but said to Shen Congyu, "Why is Brother Jiang here too?"
Only then did Shen Congyu notice it.
As a result, after getting off the car, the only person who got out of Jiang Xilin's car was Xue Mingrui.
"Sister Cong Yu, I'm coming to your place to play for a while."
Shen Congyu took the suitcase and said okay.
Under her gaze, Jiang Xilin drove away.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Qi also relaxed.
He didn't join them, probably because he realized something in the past two days, and because he was rejected by Chen Congyu, his mood was still somewhat low.
When Shen Congyu and Xue Mingrui arrived home, Xue Mingrui asked, "Why do I feel that Brother Jiang and Yuan Qi are a little strange?"
Of course Chen Congyu knew it all.
However, what Xue Mingrui cared about most and wanted to ask about the most was Jiang Xilin.
"Sister Cong Yu, what happened to Brother Jiang? The look on his face while driving was scary."
Chen Congyu thought for a moment and said earnestly: "Because I told him that there was a reason why I divorced him back then."
Xue Mingrui suddenly opened his eyes wide and hurriedly sat down next to Shen Congyu, wanting to listen carefully.
She didn't tell him about these things, so Xue Mingrui couldn't help being curious.
"Are you going to tell Brother Jiang?"
Chen Congyu: "I want to see what he means first."
Xue Mingrui hesitated and said, "I'm not speaking for Brother Jiang, but I actually feel that Brother Jiang has complicated feelings towards you."
Chen Congyu did not comment too much on this because: "Whether it is true or not depends on what he says. If he doesn't say it, I can't deceive myself and say that it is special."
"So, what do you want to tell him?"
After asking this question, Shen Congyu fell into a brief silence.
After a long while, she said, "Because now, he doesn't simply hate me. If he tells me that he still has some feelings for me, then if I tell him the truth now, our relationship can still change."
She couldn't be sure before, or rather, it was not the right time.
Jiang Xilin always thought that she was heartless, so he forced her. If he knew now that she had a hard time speaking out, how would he feel?
Chen Congyu couldn't be sure, but she thought that her situation would be better than it is now.
Xue Mingrui asked, "What are you going to do about this, Yuan Qi?"
"After a while, the questions Jiang Xilin and I have should have answers, and I'll make things clear with him. If Yuan Qi calms down by then, that's perfect. If he still thinks the same way, I'll have a direct answer to reject him."
As for Yuan Qi, Chen Congyu already had the answer in his heart.
Even for any man, including Zhou Yu, she has many considerations, not just feelings.
Except Jiang Xilin.
She struggled to come to a simple conclusion.
…
Before Jiang Xilin gave her an answer, Old Man Shen's surgical plan was discussed. The day before the operation, Shen Congyu went to the hospital for the sake of superficial harmony.
She didn't expect Jiang Xilin to be there and even arrived earlier than her.
Shen You is also one of the people who hopes that Shen Congyu and Jiang Xilin have a good relationship, so he speaks well of Shen Congyu.
"Brother Jiang is talking to the doctor about Grandpa's surgery tomorrow. I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful. Sister, has your relationship made any progress?"
Shen Congyu didn't want to tell him so much, let alone the matter between her and Jiang Xilin.
She just said coldly: "It's all as you wish."
She had no idea what Jiang Xilin was up to. She was not close to the people in the Shen family, so there was no need for him to be so dedicated.
When Jiang Xilin returned to the ward, Shen Congyu was standing by the bed listening to the old man talk. She had her back to the door, but it was the old man who looked behind her first and called Jiang Xilin.
Shen Congyu turned around and saw Jiang Xilin walking towards her, finally stopping beside her.
Jiang Xilin: "I have already explained everything. Please wait for the surgery tomorrow."
"Okay, I'm confident in your arrangements." It seems that the old man is very satisfied with Jiang Xilin now, he said with a smile.
Shen Congyu had nothing to say to them, “Then you rest, I will come back after the operation.”
She was about to leave when Fang Ya reminded her, "Aren't you going with Xilin?"
Their eyes seemed puzzled by the lack of contact between them.
These people are not easy to deal with. You can tell the status of the two people by just looking at them.
Chen Congyu saw what they meant, but before she could react, Jiang Xilin beside her took her hand.
His movements were extremely natural. "No, we'll leave together later."
Shen Congyu pursed her lips and let him hold her hand.
Jiang Xilin's palm was dry and warm. Shen Congyu felt that his presence was very strong and she couldn't ignore it, so she wanted to pull her hand out when she walked out of the ward.
Jiang Xilin tightened his grip, not letting her succeed, and asked her, "What are you going to do later?"
"go home."
"Well, I have something to tell you."
What he said was the topic that the two of them had discussed last time and ended up with nothing.
Chen Congyu bit the tip of her tongue, but still followed him out of the hospital. He drove and finally stopped by the harbor.
There are not many people here. When night falls, the tall buildings across the river are brightly lit, making the river surface sparkle and illuminating this side.
Compared with the opposite side, this side is much more low-key and quiet.
Jiang Xilin paused and got to the point. "When are you going to wrap up what we left unsaid at the hotel last time?"
Chen Congyu's thoughts remained unchanged. She pretended to be calm and said, "I still want to see your answer."
Jiang Xilin's gaze fell directly on her face.
After several seconds, he said, "Aren't you too self-righteous?"
Shen Congyu was stunned.
"You're using the secret of your divorce from me as leverage. What do you think of me?"
The angle of this question made Shen Congyu difficult to deal with for a while.
She hadn't expected this angle.
She subconsciously denied: "I didn't..."
"No?" Jiang Xilin's tone was cold and he was very dissatisfied with her. "If not, you wouldn't have refused to tell me until now."
