Chapter 237 We Were Husband and Wife
Chen Congyu let Jiang Xilin in later. Although he was obviously drunk, he had good drinking habits, so he didn't do anything that would cause headaches. He changed his shoes after entering the door.
Chen Congyu still said a few more words and asked him to sit on the sofa, and went to the kitchen to make him a cup of honey water.
When she came out, Jiang Xilin was sitting on the sofa with his collar unbuttoned, revealing his slightly red collarbone. He glanced at her and his gaze followed her.
Chen Congyu's scalp tingled under his glaring gaze. She placed the water in front of him and said, "Drink it. Take a moment to cool down and then go back."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xilin retracted his outstretched hand.
"I don't want to go back so soon. I came to find you."
Chen Congyu sat down on the sofa beside him, "Why are you looking for me? There's nothing to talk about between us."
When saying this, Shen Congyu was actually observing Jiang Xilin's reaction.
As she expected, Jiang Xilin clenched his hands at his sides.
"Rui Rui asked you to have dinner tonight, but you refused. Was it because you knew I was there?"
Chen Congyu said honestly, “This is only a small part of the reason.”
Jiang Xilin looked at her, as if trying to discern the truth in her words, and then nodded, "In that case, I won't ask any more questions."
If he didn't get any results last time in the tea garden, Chen Congyu now has the chance to ask. He drank some wine, but it would be best if he was not drunk. He should be able to pry out some things that he would not say normally.
"That day you asked me not to be with Zhou Yu, did you seriously consider it?"
Jiang Xilin obviously didn't want to talk about this topic. He looked to the other side before speaking:
"Why do you think I brought that up? Is it for fun?"
"But it's my freedom to choose whoever I want."
Jiang Xilin didn't like to hear this. He would not allow Shen Congyu to say this when he was sober, let alone now.
However, his attitude when he was sober was more domineering, but now he reacted in a restrained way.
His eyes were clear, especially obvious at this moment. Although there was no expression, Chen Congyu inexplicably saw some resentment in them.
Jiang Xilin seemed to have a mental struggle before he said, "Anyway, you can't abandon me."
"I can't abandon you even if I choose someone else?"
He paused briefly, as if he wanted to answer but didn't want to admit it.
Chen Congyu asked him slowly: "If I really did that, what would you do?"
Jiang Xilin knew clearly that she was asking him these questions on purpose, but he insisted on not answering. According to Shen Congyu's character, she would definitely deliberately go against him.
He understood the small dark spots in Chen Congyu's character, but at the moment he had no choice but to accept it.
So he said, "Stop saying who you choose has nothing to do with me. Of course it has something to do with me. I was the one left behind back then, and now I should have the rights."
Chen Congyu stopped talking, wanting to hear what he would say next.
Jiang Xilin picked up the cup and took a sip of water. Even in this state, he seemed to feel uncomfortable with what he was about to say, so his movements unconsciously became more frequent.
Jiang Xilin: "You are so nice to everyone, including Yuan Qi and Zhou Yu, so why can't you be nice to me?"
There was a questioning and faint resentment in his tone.
In the final analysis, she couldn't stand the fact that Chen Congyu was always nice to other men, eating and traveling together, but was always on the verge of quarreling with him.
Just like she allowed Yuan Qi and Zhou Yu to have that kind of feelings towards him, it still would not affect their relationship.
But why doesn't it work for him?
Jiang Xilin waited for Shen Congyu's answer, even if time turned into silence, he waited patiently.
However, Chen Congyu stood up and said, "You've drunk too much. Stop talking about this. I'll ask someone to send you back."
She looked like she didn't want to answer and was about to walk away in the next second.
Jiang Xilin suddenly grabbed her wrist to stop her from moving. He used force on his hand while speaking, hiding his dissatisfaction, "I'm talking to you."
Jiang Xilin found Shen Congyu's attitude difficult to accept, so he pulled her over and fell into his arms.
After the distance was shortened, Jiang Xilin looked at Shen Congyu's face so close to him, and his mood suddenly fell again.
Even his voice became much softer.
"What exactly do you have to do so that you can communicate with me properly?"
Chen Congyu was pinned by him and couldn't get up, but she had thought of an answer to his question.
“Is it enough just to communicate with you properly?”
Her eyes seemed to be tempting Jiang Xilin to follow her questions and reveal his feelings.
Jiang Xilin said as she wished, "Of course it's not enough."
He almost touched the tip of Shen Congyu's nose, and said in a low voice, "We were originally husband and wife."
I don’t know if it’s because the distance is too close, and his palm is against her, but Shen Congyu always feels very hot and dry.
She restrained herself and said, "That's over a long time ago."
"It had to end, and we should start over again."
Jiang Xilin's eyes flickered slightly as he continued, "Compared to that time, there are no more obstacles now, so we should start over, right?"
