Chapter 96 Wontons
Duan Ke put away his phone and was lost in thought for a moment.
She was a little sad.
Because of Jiang Xilin.
She explained the identity of the man beside him to him, firstly because she really didn't want Jiang Xilin to misunderstand her. Secondly, she wanted to see his attitude and see if he would care.
But he was so calm and indifferent, as if he didn't care no matter what kind of man appeared next to her or what his relationship with her was.
Like he said, whatever happened was normal.
This is not what Duan Ke wants.
She always believed that even if she and Jiang Xilin had broken up a long time ago, it was because of their incompatibility. Anyway, they were still together often, and their relationship was different from that of others. Perhaps they would reconcile sooner or later.
This was Duan Ke's idea. She felt more and more that since she and Jiang Xilin were familiar with each other and had supported and helped each other to get to where they were today, the love part was not that strong, and other emotions could make up for it.
It is still irreplaceable by others.
If you want to find someone else, you might as well continue to be with Jiang Xilin.
So for so long, there has been no other woman around Jiang Xilin, and he has no intention of falling in love again, so Duan Ke is very relieved.
She knew that he was busy and had high standards, so he usually couldn't meet suitable women.
But from one day on, something changed.
Duan Ke couldn't grasp the specific situation. She comforted herself that she was overthinking it. There must be evidence for everything, and Jiang Xilin had denied it.
But when she saw Chen Congyu, she couldn't help but think too much.
Originally, she almost forgot about Chen Congyu.
The last time they met, Jiang Xilin hadn't had any contact with her. But why was he doing this time? Given their status, how could they have dinner together?
Duan Ke closed his eyes.
Bad luck.
Otherwise, she could directly ask Jiang Xilin about Shen Congyu's situation, but unfortunately there happened to be a man with her today.
From what standpoint should she ask Jiang Xilin?
The man next to her saw the sadness emanating from her and thought that the man had misunderstood Duan Ke during the phone call just now.
He comforted Duan Ke: "Don't think too much, we are just having a meal. Talk to your boyfriend and he will definitely understand. If that doesn't work, I can also talk to him for you."
Duan Ke opened his eyes and immediately refused, "No."
She thought that Jiang Xilin didn't care at all about who she was with.
"He won't misunderstand me. He trusts me very much."
Duan Ke said goodbye to the man at the door of her house. After returning to her room, she searched for her phone.
"Hello, it's me, Duan Ke. Please help me check for someone."
…
Chen Congyu drove Jiang Xilin's car back to No. 118 Jinghu.
She went to the bathroom and when she came out, Jiang Xilin was sitting on the sofa looking at his phone.
The cold light from the screen reflected on his face, and even the temperature faded a lot.
Chen Congyu stepped forward and asked, "Did Miss Duan ask you something?"
Jiang Xilin finished processing a message in his hand and put down his phone. "It's okay."
"Miss Duan trusts you so much, how can you be so bad?"
Chen Congyu was still struggling, trying to awaken Jiang Xilin's guilt towards Duan Ke.
Jiang Xilin stared at her and said abruptly, "Are you thinking about me or worrying about yourself?"
Chen Congyu immediately didn't want to say anything.
She said, "Do you want some water? I'll make you some honey water."
Without waiting for Jiang Xilin to speak, she went to the kitchen to find honey.
After fiddling around inside for a few minutes, he came out and placed the glass carefully next to Jiang Xilin.
"After you finish your drink, go to bed early. I need to go back. It's too late to call a taxi."
Jiang Xilin didn't drink the water. "Do you really think of yourself as a driver?"
That’s what Chen Congyu thought, but he didn’t dare to say it out loud.
She whispered, "I'm on my period."
"Accompany me to a place tomorrow." Jiang Xilin had already made arrangements and informed her directly, "Sleep here tonight so you don't have to make another trip tomorrow."
"May I ask where you're going and what you're doing?"
Jiang Xilin: "No."
He drank half a cup of honey water and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his collar. His cold white neck was faintly red from drinking.
He stood up and prepared to go upstairs, but saw Chen Congyu still standing there, "Come up."
"I'm on my period..."
"I see. What am I going to do?"
Jiang Xilin was impatient.
Chen Congyu shut up and followed him up to the second floor.
Jiang Xilin took a piece of clothing and threw it into Shen Congyu's arms, "Go sleep next door."
Chen Congyu was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.
"Okay," she clutched the shirt that belonged to him, "then you should rest early. I won't disturb you. What do you want to eat tomorrow morning?"
Jiang Xilin saw it clearly and was too lazy to expose her.
Just say: "Wonton."
Chen Congyu: "Which one?"
Jiang Xilin leaned against the door frame and said, "You wrap it yourself."
Chen Congyu gritted his teeth: "Okay."
Only after Jiang Xilin closed the door did Shen Congyu's almost stiff face fall.
He really wanted to find ways to torment her.
Chen Congyu didn't go back to the room to take a shower directly, but went to the kitchen to see if there were enough ingredients. If not, she would place an order online in advance so that it could be delivered early tomorrow morning.
He definitely didn't have wonton wrappers, so she had to get up early to knead the dough and roll out the wrappers to make wontons.
Shen Congyu prepared everything before returning to the room to take a shower.
The clothes Jiang Xilin gave her was one of his shirts. The fabric was very comfortable and it smelled good after washing. It was not strong at all. It was almost the same as the smell on his body that he usually had. Although it was light, it had a strong presence and could not be ignored.
Chen Congyu didn't want to wear his clothes, but she didn't know what she would accompany him to do tomorrow, so she had to change her clothes.
So after taking a shower, Chen Congyu put on his shirt and a brand new pair of men's underwear.
Chen Congyu: ...
If she wasn't on her period, she would rather put the car in neutral.
She got dressed and changed, then put her clothes in the washer and dryer.
Jiang Xilin was twenty centimeters taller than her and had a habit of exercising, so he had a strong body. Even his clothes, which were tight-fitting shirts, looked almost like a skirt on Shen Congyu.
The men's underwear was new, but the size was too big, so Chen Congyu had to tie a knot on both sides before he could put it on.
After cleaning up, she lay down on the bed. She wondered if all the washed things in the house had the same smell as Jiang Xilin.
Even the bed in the guest room exudes a faint familiar smell.
Sleep well.
While Shen Congyu was feeling sleepy, she always felt that Jiang Xilin was around her, which scared her so much that she woke up twice before she fell asleep.
After repeatedly confirming that Jiang Xilin would not come to the guest room, Shen Congyu wrapped herself in the quilt and fell asleep.
The next morning, she set the alarm to wake up early, changed her clothes and went downstairs to prepare making wontons.
Although she can cook now, this is her first time making wontons. She is afraid that if she doesn't make it right, Jiang Xilin will be dissatisfied.
When Shen Congyu was kneading the dough, she thought that Jiang Xilin was probably more difficult to deal with now than she was back then.
This is how fortune changes.
She was working very hard, afraid that it would be too late, so she was so engrossed that she didn't notice when Jiang Xilin came downstairs.
