Chapter 38 I See You Are Very Good at It
Chen Congyu washed her face several times with cold water, and only wiped it clean and went out when she felt a little better.
Unexpectedly, there was someone waiting for her at the door. She almost bumped into someone when she came out of the bathroom, but the other person was quick to hold her shoulders.
The one who recognized the other person before looking up was Chen Congyu who smelled the familiar cold fragrance that belonged only to Jiang Xilin.
She stepped back to get away from him.
Jiang Xilin stretched out his hand to stop her and could clearly see the blush on her face.
"Drunk?"
Chen Congyu turned away, not understanding what else he wanted to ask.
She didn't say anything and was determined to leave. Jiang Xilin didn't look happy and simply pulled her back and held her in front of him.
"say."
His voice was quite cold, and Shen Congyu felt even more uncomfortable after hearing it.
She didn't have a good attitude. "Yes, I'm drunk. Mr. Jiang, could you please let me go back?"
Jiang Xilin glanced at her unhappily and took out a box of hangover medicine. "Go to the parking lot in Area A. Yuan An will take you there."
Chen Congyu didn't move, "No need."
Her attitude was really annoying. Jiang Xilin held her chin and lifted her face to face him.
"Why are you giving me that look?"
In this posture, Chen Congyu could only droop her eyelids and not look at him, "I dare not."
"Don't dare? I see you're very good at it."
"I just think you don't need to go to so much trouble. Just let me be humiliated in public, and don't give me a sweet date or a hangover medicine."
Jiang Xilin frowned, "Who humiliated you?"
Chen Congyu's eyelids trembled slightly, "Isn't it you?"
"I'm not that free."
Chen Congyu didn't believe it, "In your territory, without your words or your consent, who dares to mess around."
She felt wronged, purely for herself. "And someone even replaced the wine for me. You said you didn't know about it?"
Jiang Xilin did know about the wine exchange.
It was just that Yan Zhao casually told the waiter to take another bottle. Now that she said it, Jiang Xilin knew who the "other bottle" was poured for.
Jiang Xilin was distracted for two seconds, and Shen Congyu knew what he meant.
She laughed at herself.
Jiang Xilin saw it and felt it was blinding. His knee pressed against her legs, forcing her back against the wall with nowhere to hide. "I've caused you trouble and I still have to deal with it. I don't have the time."
He threw the hangover medicine next to the bonsai and said in a more serious tone, "Eat it if you want, or not. If you don't believe me, get out of here."
Chen Congyu's eyes were red, and she wanted to say something harsh, but considering that she had tried so hard to coax him this time, she couldn't ruin it again, so she forced herself to hold it back.
Angry at my own cowardice.
She pushed Jiang Xilin away with force, her arms shaking. She took a step forward when her high heels hit the edge of the carpet. Her brain was still dizzy, and she failed to react in time. She staggered and subconsciously held onto the person next to her.
Jiang Xilin took advantage of the situation and put his arm around her, humming softly from his nose, "What a success."
Chen Congyu felt dizzy and didn't want to face it, so he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
She didn't argue with him.
What she just said was almost the limit of Jiang Xilin's tolerance. If she continued, she would have to find ways to ask for his forgiveness.
Pulling her hand back, Chen Congyu felt really uncomfortable and wanted to leave. At this time, someone appeared who made her even more uncomfortable.
Qi Ming was walking towards this side with Duan Ke, and when he saw the two of them, he stopped.
Even though Shen Congyu took his hand back from Jiang Xilin's palm at the first moment, he still didn't let it go.
"What's going on? Isn't it inappropriate to hold hands like this in public?"
Here we go again, this gossipy guy.
A nameless anger rose in Chen Congyu's heart.
Thinking that Duan Ke probably saw it just now, she glanced at Jiang Xilin's face but didn't say anything.
Jiang Xilin said calmly, "She didn't stand steadily, so I helped her up."
Qi Ming: "So considerate to your employees?"
He urged Duan Ke as he spoke, "Miss Duan, you have to keep a close eye on her."
Duan Ke walked to the other side of Jiang Xilin and looked at him with a smile, "I believe him."
"Often the more this happens, the more likely people are to take advantage of trust and do bad things."
Jiang Xilin's eyes darkened, "Qi Ming, it's too obvious that you want to cause trouble today."
Qi Ming shrugged, "Really? I'm just making a reasonable guess based on the actual situation."
Duan Ke didn't want the situation to become too awkward, so he took Jiang Xilin's arm and tried to smooth things over. "Don't say that. Even speculation can be very hurtful, and it won't be good for Miss Shen."
She said as she glanced towards Chen Congyu.
Chen Congyu leaned against the wall and hadn't spoken since the beginning. She looked thin and fragile, but Duan Ke didn't see the ill intentions that were common on the faces of those girls who approached her.
She seemed very tired and didn't seem to want to participate much in what was happening.
Noticing Duan Ke's gaze, Shen Congyu stood up straight and said, "Mr. Jiang, Miss Duan, you guys chat, I'll leave first."
She left without hesitation, and the box of hangover medicine was left aside and not taken away.
As soon as she left, Qi Ming felt bored, so he said goodbye and followed her.
Jiang Xilin looked at his back and saw that he was leaving in the same direction as Shen Congyu.
Duan Ke let go of him and saw the hangover medicine placed next to the bonsai. She picked it up and took a look. It was brand new and unopened.
She raised her head and asked, "Did you bring it here because you were afraid someone would get drunk?"
"Yan Zhao had someone replace her wine."
With just this explanation, Duan Ke, a smart man, understood immediately.
It's not that I'm afraid of people drinking too much. I didn't drink much tonight. I just switched to stronger liquor.
"Have you and Miss Shen known each other before?"
Jiang Xilin did not deny it and rolled up his sleeves to wash his hands.
The cold water rushed across my palms, bringing some damp warmth.
He thought Duan Ke would continue asking questions, but he didn't.
He looked at Duan Ke, and Duan Ke took the initiative to say: "If you don't tell me about your affairs, I won't ask."
Jiang Xilin turned off the water and heard Duan Ke say again: "If you really like her, you can tell me. From the look of her, it seems that she doesn't know about us yet. I can go to her first to explain our current relationship."
"You're overthinking it."
He threw away the tissue he used to wipe his hands and walked out.
…
Chen Congyu finally escaped from those people, but he couldn't hold on any longer when he reached the door of the hotel. He felt so dizzy that he had to squat on the steps to slowly walk.
Before she could put on her coat, the harsh night wind quickly blew away the smell of alcohol on her body, taking away her warmth along with it.
Chen Congyu shuddered and thought of putting on his coat. As soon as he moved, his stomach churned and he felt like vomiting.
She wrapped herself in her down jacket and squatted back down, cursing Qi Ming and Jiang Xilin in her heart.
Suddenly someone called her. Yuan An came over and saw her squatting there. "Are you okay? Brother Jiang asked me to take you home."
"What about him?"
Yuan An paused and said, "Brother Jiang is with Miss Duan, so he will probably leave in Miss Duan's car."
He thought Shen Congyu wanted to go back with Jiang Xilin.
Little did they know that the opposite was true.
When Shen Congyu heard that Jiang Xilin was not there, he stood up by holding the wall and said, "Then let's go back."
