Chapter 289 It’s Time
In the end, Jiang Xilin accompanied Shen Congyu to Mr. Shen's birthday party as he wished.
There is no doubt that he became the center of attention on the scene.
This time, the topic surrounding him was not the previous inquiries and tests about his relationship with Shen Congyu, but a blatant inquiry about when he and Shen Congyu would get married.
When Shen Congyu heard it for the first time, he almost choked and thought he had misheard, but the other party was waiting for Jiang Xilin's reply seriously.
Jiang Xilin and Shen Congyu looked at each other. Although he wanted to answer directly, he hesitated for a moment because he was worried that Shen Congyu would be angry.
Therefore, Chen Congyu spoke first.
"Aunt, we haven't woken up yet and we're still thinking about it. Please don't worry too much."
The Shen family basically knew Shen Congyu's character, and no one dared to confront her. She didn't have a good attitude, and they were afraid that she would turn against them in this important occasion.
So he could only smile and soften his tone, saying, "Isn't this just wishing you well? It just so happens to coincide with the old man's birthday, so I want to have a double celebration."
This aunt is not my biological mother, but she knows so much about it. I guess someone told her.
Chen Congyu asked: "Grandpa told you?"
The other person's eyes dodged and he didn't admit it, but everyone could see it.
Chen Congyu was too lazy to say too much to her and pulled Jiang Xilin to a place where there were not many people.
Jiang Xilin said: "I don't think she has any bad intentions."
"No, you want to be arranged?"
Jiang Xilin said bluntly: "I want to, but of course they won't arrange it. I will make my own plans."
Chen Congyu stared at him, trying to find a trace of insincerity on his face, but it seemed there was none.
Now it was her turn to be confused.
"…Are you serious?"
Seeing that she still had doubts about this issue, Jiang Xilin couldn't help but frown.
"Of course. I'm not kidding about this."
His voice lowered, and he said more confidently, "Besides, we were already married."
The reason for the divorce was not a breakdown in their relationship, nor was it a problem between the two of them. They had been separated for so many years, which was already too much time.
Seeing that Chen Congyu didn't say anything, Jiang Xilin took her hand and said, "Those things that happened back then will never happen again. As long as you don't change your mind, the future will only be better."
He clenched his hands a little tightly, unconsciously, because he was still nervous inside.
Chen Congyu felt a slight pain and wanted to pull her hand back, but he held on to it.
"You...ah, let me go first."
Jiang Xilin didn't even think about it, "No, don't run away."
Chen Congyu: "I'm not running away, and now is not the time to talk about this."
"Why can't I tell you? I..." Jiang Xilin said, reaching into his pocket with his other hand, but he quickly thought of something and stopped.
Watching his actions, Chen Congyu realized something a little late, and stared closely at his hand, wanting to see what would appear in his hand at the first moment.
She held her breath because she was too nervous.
But in the end, Jiang Xilin took his hand out and didn't take anything.
His tone was filled with frustration, "If I propose to you in public, is that the time?"
Chen Congyu took advantage of his relaxation to pull back her hand, her emotions surging one after another, surprised that he planned it so quickly.
Unfortunately, before she could say anything or ask, Shen You was sent to find her, breaking the atmosphere between them.
"Sister...Grandpa asked you to come over. It seems your aunt is here."
Before coming, Chen Congyu mentioned it to Cheng Xishang. At that time, Cheng Xishang said that she was busy and couldn't come. Unexpectedly, she still came.
Of course she had to go.
Before leaving, she glanced at Jiang Xilin and inexplicably felt that there was a layer of loneliness surrounding him.
But she couldn't care less now and left first.
Shen You felt something was strange and was about to ask something, but when his eyes met Jiang Xilin, he felt a chill.
Before he could figure out what was going on, Jiang Xilin left.
