Chapter 41 Answer
Chen Congyu adjusted the navigation and drove. The car was very quiet. Jiang Xilin closed his eyes and rested, as if he really wanted her to take him back.
He was so silent that Chen Congyu didn't know where to start.
After pondering for several minutes, Chen Congyu took advantage of the time when waiting for the red light and said softly: "Are you busy recently?"
It was not clear whether it was because she said this out of the blue and did not mention any name or surname that Jiang Xilin did not react at all.
After a few seconds of silence, Chen Congyu saw him slowly open his eyelids, and then cast his eyes towards her.
Chen Congyu's heart tightened, and he added calmly: "Because you look very tired."
"I didn't look for you, are you worried?"
Chen Congyu lowered his eyes: "No, I just like you like this, so I asked, you just think I'm talking too much."
After she said this, Jiang Xilin really didn't react at all.
The car was driving very steadily, but Jiang Xilin seemed to be really drunk. His expression was not relaxed at all and he even opened the car window a little.
The cold wind blew in, and Chen Congyu slowed down the car even more.
Seeing a pharmacy on the side of the road from a distance, Chen Congyu parked the car on the side of the road without saying a word.
Jiang Xilin closed his eyes and realized that the car had stopped. When he looked at her, she unbuckled her seat belt, got out of the car, and walked towards the side of the road.
In fact, Jiang Xilin was not drunk to the point of passing out, but he was indeed too busy and tired recently, and he did not feel well after drinking some wine.
The person he had just met at the dinner party called him, and Jiang Xilin had no time to care what Shen Congyu was doing when he got out of the car.
After chatting for a few minutes, Jiang Xilin pinched his brows, looking really unhappy.
Chen Congyu came back at this time and saw him answering the phone. He moved quietly and waited.
Jiang Xilin put down his phone, noticed Shen Congyu's behavior, and realized something was wrong.
His eyes darted over, "What do you want to do tonight?"
Chen Congyu suddenly froze.
Although she did have that thought, the tone of his voice made it sound as if she was going to do something bad.
She refused to admit it and asked him, "What's wrong with me?"
Jiang Xilin was not in a hurry and asked her, "What did you do just now?"
Chen Congyu took out the hangover medicine she had bought. In order not to arouse Jiang Xilin's suspicion, she said in a stiff tone: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just afraid that you'll be drunk and I won't be able to move you."
Jiang Xilin glanced at her indifferently.
Reach out and take the hangover medicine.
However, he didn't eat it, and threw it aside. "Drive."
Chen Congyu couldn't figure it out, so he had to continue driving.
She said tentatively, bit by bit, "Are you really okay? I've never seen you like this. It's hard to be drunk."
"Um."
Of course, Shen Congyu hoped that Jiang Xilin would not be so clear-headed. It would be difficult for her to deal with him when he was too clear-headed.
She thought that after all this time, the unpleasantness that happened in the hotel last time should be over, right?
Jiang Xilin didn't seem to want to bring it up again.
She unconsciously softened her tone, "Actually, that day at the hotel, I was angry about being targeted by Duan Zhen in front of so many people, and you... you have a good relationship with her, so I got a little excited."
Chen Congyu: "Isn't it understandable that I behaved like that? I didn't do anything wrong, so I'm not without temper. But after I came back, I thought about it. I believe what you said about not knowing the truth. I apologize to you for getting into a fight with you at that time."
"You said all that, just to apologize to me?"
Jiang Xilin's attitude was lukewarm.
Chen Congyu really couldn't tell whether he believed it or not.
This is what worries her the most.
She finally chose to say half-truthfully, "Because you haven't shown up recently, I don't know what you're thinking, so I'm sorry first. I've thought about it, and it's always so stalemate and tiring. If I could talk nicely, of course I'd like to."
Jiang Xilin was very sarcastic: "You want me to talk to you nicely?"
"...It's okay if it doesn't work, that's what I mean."
Of course, Chen Congyu didn't expect Jiang Xilin to speak nicely to her. He hated her so much that he didn't even have time to.
She wanted to express that she was willing to live in peace with him, and it all depended on his attitude.
After saying similar words once, the second time seemed much easier. Chen Congyu felt that this time it was much smoother than last time.
"It's okay if you know what's going on," Jiang Xilin's voice became a little hoarse after being soaked in alcohol. "If you had done this earlier, maybe I would have been willing to treat you well."
"Yes, I thought about it too. I will learn to control my temper in the future."
When Chen Congyu said this, he wanted to take advantage of Jiang Xilin's drunkenness to talk to him. He exhaled and asked carefully: "Can I ask you something?"
Jiang Xilin said simply: "Speak."
"If I want to get rid of Chen Yao, can you help me?"
She was careful not to tell her husband, as Jiang Xilin should have known everything about her.
If she mentioned her husband, it would remind him that she was getting married again.
The word "get rid of" passed through Jiang Xilin's mouth silently.
He then glanced sideways, "You want to divorce him?"
“…That’s about it.”
"Divorce is divorce, what else can it mean?"
Chen Congyu didn't want to discuss this with him. She couldn't tell him what her nominal marriage with Chen Yao was all about, so she had to skip it and continue pushing the topic: "He won't let me leave, and I can't do anything about it."
The street lights cast a dim light into the car, making each other's expressions blurry.
Especially Shen Congyu, she was driving and could only rely on listening to the meaning of Jiang Xilin's words.
But Jiang Xilin is different.
He was hidden in the unclear light and had excellent eyesight, so he could roughly see Shen Congyu's face.
"You've been laying the groundwork for so long, are you finally getting to the point?"
Suddenly exposed, Shen Congyu gripped the steering wheel tightly, not daring to relax at all, for fear of being seen by Jiang Xilin.
She said seriously, "What I said before is what I wanted to tell you. If you don't believe it, forget it. I won't say it anymore."
The car fell into silence, making Shen Congyu feel suffocated.
She was very worried that Jiang Xilin would really stop talking.
Suddenly, a sports car rushed out from the back of the driveway and almost hit their car. Shen Congyu dodged in time, but she was still scared.
Jiang Xilin spoke before his heartbeat stabilized.
"Aren't you two in a good relationship? Why are you getting divorced?"
Chen Congyu could tell that his meaning contained not only a hint of sarcasm, but also confusion.
Indeed, there is no sign of divorce now.
But Chen Congyu couldn't explain the reason.
She said vaguely, "There will always be a time when you want to end it."
"Is this how you view marriage?" Jiang Xilin said coldly.
“No…” Chen Congyu’s denial seemed pale, “I mean, I still feel that Chen Yao and I are not suitable, and I want to think about it in advance.”
She tensed up and asked him, "Can you help me?"
Jiang Xilin didn't answer directly.
This happened too suddenly, he would not just believe what Shen Congyu said.
He is also very cautious.
"Just inappropriate?"
He had an answer in mind that he wanted to hear from her.
