Chapter 240: Cancelled
Jiang Xilin was in such a stalemate that Shen Congyu couldn't guess what he was thinking.
She thought about it and said, "I didn't reply your message that afternoon because I wasn't checking my phone. I didn't know you would contact me. I didn't mean to not reply you."
After thinking about it, she came up with this possibility.
However, Jiang Xilin said, "I didn't care about it. It's just that I didn't expect to see you and Zhou Yu together."
Of course, Shen Congyu was not surprised by what he said.
"It's just something. Even if it's nothing, it's fine to have a meal with friends."
The warmth of Jiang Xilin's palm touched her skin, and he didn't feel tired and kept this posture.
He asked her, "So what are we now?"
Chen Congyu was afraid that he would be unhappy later, so she chose to let him speak for himself: "What do you think our relationship is now? What happened in the past..."
"It's all written off," Jiang Xilin said seriously, "What I said last night still counts. Did you not take it seriously at all?"
Being guessed at what he was thinking, Chen Congyu was prepared to reply.
"Don't you think it's abrupt what you said? Maybe you just can't bear to see me leave your side."
Jiang Xilin was not in a hurry to prove it to her. He got to the point, "Do you really want to leave me?"
Shen Congyu looked at him, each word clear, "Are we on good terms now?"
Jiang Xilin loosened his hand and said after a moment, "As long as you accept it, it's just a matter of time."
Since it is a matter of time, there is no answer at the moment.
At the same time, Chen Congyu also meant that it would take time to believe what he said.
After Jiang Xilin left, Shen Congyu went back to the living room and searched around to confirm that his tie was indeed missing.
He deliberately said that in front of Zhou Yuye, trying to make Zhou Yuye misunderstand his relationship with her.
Fortunately, the other party was Zhou Yuye. If it was someone like Yuan Qi, Jiang Xilin would have achieved his goal.
…
When Chen Congyu went out to work in the morning, she found that someone seemed to be moving into the empty house opposite.
She glanced casually at the cleaner and didn't take it to heart.
When Chen Congyu learned that Zhou Ning had returned from abroad, she invited her to dinner at her home and also asked Zhou Yu to join them.
She finished her work early and went home to prepare. When Zhou Ning and Zhou Yu came, they brought wine and flowers. She still had two dishes to cook, so after inviting them to sit down, she turned and went back into the kitchen.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Shen Congyu didn't turn around and asked, "Are you looking for something?"
"Let me help you."
This is Zhou Yu.
Chen Congyu then turned around to see that Zhou Yu was also rolling up his sleeves.
"No need for help, I've prepared everything, just stir-fry it."
But Zhou Yu still came forward, took the bowls and chopsticks and went out. When he came back again, he said to Chen Congyu: "No need to prepare so much, there is one dish left that you don't need to cook, that's enough."
It can be seen that Shen Congyu made special preparations today, and Zhou Yu didn't want to trouble her too much.
So as soon as her dish came out of the pot, Zhou Yu held the plate in one hand and gently pushed her with the other hand, asking her to go out and start eating.
Zhou Ning was very supportive and enthusiastically opened the wine and poured it for the three of them. While eating, he kept praising Chen Congyu's cooking skills.
"Sister Cong Yu, have you ever tried the food my uncle cooks? He cooks delicious food too!"
Chen Congyu and Zhou Yu also looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads, "Not yet."
Zhou Ning made the arrangements directly, "Then let's go to my uncle's place for dinner someday when we're free! Uncle, is that okay?"
She winked at Zhou Yu in a funny way.
Zhou Yu also: "Of course, what do you want to eat?"
Zhou Ning gave the choice to Chen Congyu, so Chen Congyu said two things.
Zhou Ning always brought the topic to her and Zhou Yuye from time to time. Shen Congyu had a vague feeling, but before she could catch the exact point, Zhou Ning had something urgent to do and left in a hurry after dinner.
Zhou Yu didn't leave either, and cleaned up the dining table and kitchen with Shen Congyu.
Zhou Ning left Shen Congyu's house and was seen clearly by the person behind the door opposite. He checked the time and turned to get his things.
Soon, he arrived at the door of Shen Congyu's house and rang the doorbell.
The two people inside heard the doorbell ringing. Zhou Yu was also close to the door. He subconsciously said, "Maybe Zhou Ning forgot something. I'll go check it out."
When the door opened, both people inside and outside were startled.
No one expected that it would be the other person they saw.
Jiang Xilin clenched the gift box in his hand, and the originally cheerful mood in his eyes suddenly dimmed.
