Chapter 34: Unresponsive
It was not difficult for Shen Congyu to study Jiang Xilin's taste. The hotel's catering department had a full set of records. After Jiang Xilin said it was "unpalatable" for the first time, she went to see it.
But she did have to admit that she had paid little attention to Jiang Xilin before.
She liked him very much, so she was willing to live a hard life with him and marry him, but she hardly contributed to his life.
She always treated Jiang Xilin's preferences in a casual manner, remembering what she could and not making a special effort to remember them.
Jiang Xilin never said anything to her.
He would be very happy if she occasionally took care of his emotions and gave him some small surprises.
As a result, she always believed that Jiang Xilin was someone who was easy to please.
While cooking, Chen Congyu thought, if only Jiang Xilin could be as easy to talk to now as he was back then, but unfortunately that was impossible.
There was still some wine in the refrigerator that Xue Mingrui had brought last time. She planned to take it out and give it to Jiang Xilin at noon. Maybe he would feel better after drinking it.
Jiang Xilin arrived neither too early nor too late, which gave Shen Congyu some idea.
She placed the slippers at Jiang Xilin's feet.
"You've come just in time. The soup will be ready soon."
Jiang Xilin's eyes followed her from the moment she bent down to hand him the slippers to the moment she stood up and smiled at him.
He put his coat down, lowered his eyes, and said "hmm" coldly.
The steaming hot food on the table looked delicious, and just as she said, it was all prepared for him.
Chen Congyu took off her apron and opened the wine. When she was about to pour it for him, he raised his hand to block it.
"I drove here."
Chen Congyu is visibly a little lost.
Jiang Xilin didn't say anything, took the wine from her hand and poured it into her glass.
Shen Congyu hurriedly said, “I won’t drink alone.”
"Why not?" Jiang Xilin wouldn't let her refuse. "If you don't want to drink, then don't talk."
He said so, what else could Shen Congyu say?
You have to be willing even if you don't want to.
After sitting down, Chen Congyu gritted his teeth and took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and drank half of it. "I really want to apologize to you today. It was my bad attitude before. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against me."
Jiang Xilin didn't say yes or no. He held the goblet in his hand and responded casually, "Besides this, what else do you want to say?"
Chen Congyu choked.
She did have something else to say, his observation was too sharp.
"I, I need to see if you forgive me before I can continue."
Jiang Xilin raised his eyebrows slightly, "If I say I don't forgive you, you won't say it?"
Chen Congyu: “If you don’t forgive me, it means you are still very angry and definitely don’t want to pay attention to me.”
"Well, your analysis of the current situation is quite correct."
Chen Congyu turned off the engine.
This person is stubborn and refuses to listen to anything.
She hardened her heart and drank the remaining half glass of wine.
Her alcohol tolerance is average, and she hasn't drunk like this in a long time.
She drank too quickly and ended up choking. She covered her lips and coughed a few times. Her lips were red and her face turned a little redder due to coughing.
She raised her eyes, met Jiang Xilin's gaze, and said with a slightly aggrieved look, "Does this prove my sincerity?"
Jiang Xilin was wearing a very simple black half-high collar sweater. The black color was dull, but it was the icing on the cake when paired with his fair face. It also made Shen Congyu see that there was finally some color, and it was no longer just cold.
A hint of interest flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Go ahead."
"I don't mean anything else. I know I'm not qualified to ask for anything in my current situation, but I don't want to meet Miss Duan because I don't want to be nervous." Chen Congyu bit the tip of her tongue, forcing herself to say what she was embarrassed to say. "Isn't it better for me to be safer when I'm with you?"
She emphasized to Jiang Xilin, "I can accept whatever you do to me, but why involve innocent people?"
The innocent person, of course, refers to Duan Ke.
Shen Congyu didn't believe that Jiang Xilin wanted his girlfriend to know about her.
She worked so hard, but Jiang Xilin just said, "It depends on your performance."
Chen Congyu squeezed the wine glass tightly, then quickly released it.
She comforted herself that it was not a complete rejection, which meant there was still room for discussion.
"Okay, thank you."
She spoke in a gentle tone, then got up and went to the kitchen, brought out the stewed soup, poured a bowl out and placed it next to Jiang Xilin, which was very thoughtful.
Jiang Xilin saw it.
He remained calm and poured more wine into Chen Congyu's glass.
"I heard Ruirui tell Yuan An that you went back to the Shen family and smashed everything."
Although Chen Congyu was very dissatisfied with him pouring more wine, he could only wait with a smile.
"Yes, I said that Shen You forced me to go see Qi Tian. I almost got into trouble, so I must settle the score with them."
Chen Congyu looked at him and added, “There’s really nothing between Qi Ming and me.”
Jiang Xilin didn't respond to her directly this time, but picked up his chopsticks and said, "Let's talk after dinner."
He really started eating, and Shen Congyu was forced to pause the topic, but before she finished what she wanted to say, she was always worried that she would not achieve the result she wanted, and she could not eat.
But this time Jiang Xilin didn't complain about her cooking skills.
The two of them were very quiet during their meal. Chen Congyu had a bad stomach and ate slowly, but Jiang Xilin was still the same as before and ate quite quickly.
He finally tasted the soup that Chen Congyu personally served him.
Chen Congyu was still chewing slowly.
Wondering if I could escape this drink.
If she drank it all, she would probably faint.
Jiang Xilin hadn't forgotten at all. When he put down his chopsticks, he reminded her, "Drink the wine."
Chen Congyu was reluctant, and just as she was about to refuse, she heard Jiang Xilin say, "You can only drink this much. It will make me think that you prepared this bottle of wine for me alone."
Chen Congyu laughed dryly: "No."
Jiang Xilin watched leisurely.
After finally finishing the drink, Chen Congyu's palms felt hot, and she couldn't help but continue her topic, "Qi Ming's side..."
Jiang Xilin was very straightforward, "Are you worried about yourself?"
"I'm afraid if he tells others, it will definitely cause trouble for you."
"If that's the case, I'll fix it."
He was suddenly so easy to talk to. Before Shen Congyu had time to be happy, she saw him suddenly smile, as if laughing at her for being happy too early.
He leaned back in his chair, his posture casual, "But if he causes me any trouble, I'll ask you to compensate me. After all, you were the one who provoked him."
Shen Congyu was stunned for two seconds.
She knew that there was no way he would agree to solve it so readily.
But how could she have provoked him? He was being completely unreasonable.
Unfortunately, she couldn't do anything to him.
After much thought, Chen Congyu could only endure it.
Every time she was in close contact with Jiang Xilin, Shen Congyu felt very resistant in her heart. She understood that there were many reasons. Before, she could still say some unpleasant words to vent her anger, but now she couldn't.
Not only can you not do that, you also have to please him.
The two glasses of wine she drank took effect when she fell onto Jiang Xilin's legs, making her extremely dizzy.
When she reacted, she subconsciously grabbed Jiang Xilin's clothes with both hands, holding them tightly.
