Chapter 190 Lying to Her Again
Shen Congyu always kept the ring in her mind, but she now knew that she couldn't ask Jiang Xilin for it directly.
So throughout the day, she acted as if nothing had happened. At night, after observing that the lights next door were off, she tiptoed out of the guest room and went to the study to look for it first.
She didn't dare turn on the light, so she used the flashlight on her cell phone to illuminate the room and searched Jiang Xilin's study thoroughly bit by bit.
I searched everywhere except the locked area, but to no avail.
Shen Congyu wondered if Jiang Xilin had left it in the bedroom. She looked at the time. If Jiang Xilin had turned off the lights and was getting ready for bed when she came out, he should be asleep now.
She did as she said and moved to the door of the master bedroom.
Jiang Xilin didn't lock the door like her, so he turned the doorknob gently and felt the door open. It was pitch black inside, and the person on the bed didn't move at all.
Shen Congyu's breathing became shallow as she entered Jiang Xilin's bedroom.
There weren't many things in his bedroom, but Chen Congyu hadn't looked carefully before, so he still had to search one by one.
Afraid that Jiang Xilin was not asleep yet, she started looking from the place farthest from the bed, observing whether Jiang Xilin moved while looking.
After searching around, the only place left was near the bed. Shen Congyu took a deep breath and walked over. She knelt beside the bed and opened the drawer. She was looking inside intently when suddenly a hand stretched out in front of her.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Congyu was suddenly frightened and her heart was pounding. She leaned back subconsciously, and the light from her cell phone shone on the person on the bed.
Jiang Xilin squinted his eyes and sat up, "Chen Congyu, what are you looking for in my room?"
Chen Congyu got up from the ground, unable to explain, so he simply confessed: "I'm looking for the ring."
"Who said no this morning?"
"That's because you didn't give it to me. I had no choice but to resort to this last resort. Can you still blame me?"
However, Jiang Xilin did not seem surprised that she would do this or say that.
He grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
Chen Congyu was afraid of falling, so she subconsciously used her knees to support the edge of the bed and sat down. Her cell phone slipped from her hand, and the light from the flashlight covered it, with only a slight light leaking out.
Jiang Xilin said: "I said I would not give it to you, you just need to tell me the questions I want to know."
The distance between the two is now very close, the light is dim and blurry, and they can't see each other's expressions clearly, but his eyes are bright, and he is staring straight at Shen Congyu.
Chen Congyu just wanted to break free from his hand and avoid talking about it.
During her silence, an answer inevitably came to Jiang Xilin's mind, but he didn't know whether he should be sure of it.
Because compared to what he thought, it seemed that any excuse Chen Congyu could find now was more credible.
Jiang Xilin was waiting, and Shen Congyu couldn't break away from him, just like her current situation, she had no choice but to answer.
But she really didn't want to say it.
Now she had almost no secrets in front of Jiang Xilin, and everything he did was so easy, which made her feel very insecure.
Especially regarding the matter between him and Duan Ke, Shen Congyu still didn't dare to believe his words 100%.
In order to avoid Jiang Xilin's questions, Shen Congyu simply climbed on top of him, hooked her arms around his neck, and took the initiative to kiss him.
She clearly wanted to escape in this way, so she tried very hard to arouse Jiang Xilin's attention and touched his abdominal muscles.
Jiang Xilin let her kiss him for a while, then he grabbed her hand that was lighting fires everywhere and whispered in the dim light, "You're using this method to avoid the problem, right?"
Chen Congyu gently bit his Adam's apple, "Then do you like it?"
"You've come this far. If I don't cooperate with you, wouldn't it be a waste?"
He pinched Chen Congyu's waist and lifted her up, so that there was no distance between them.
He knew her purpose, and he was not the one who was anxious.
It's just that Chen Congyu didn't say anything after she moved in. In fact, she acted like she didn't want to sleep with him. Now she actually used this trick to shut him up.
Jiang Xilin couldn't help but wonder whether the reason she refused to tell him was really what he thought.
…
Chen Congyu had just left Jiang Xilin's room in the morning, and when she woke up she began to wonder where she had put him.
There was no answer to this question, and Shen Congyu felt like she was back to the time when she was trying to please Jiang Xilin in order to get what she wanted from him.
When she was about to get off work in the afternoon, Jiang Xilin called and asked her to go out for dinner with him in the evening. They were all familiar people.
Chen Congyu immediately started bargaining, “Can you return my things to me if I go?”
"Are you kidding me? I'm putting you in a difficult position by asking you to come to dinner, right?"
Chen Congyu said: “You want to make arrangements for me and want me to listen to you, so can’t I fight for something for myself?”
Jiang Xilin laughed and said, "Then you wait, I won't give it to you."
After the call ended, Shen Congyu clenched his fist in hatred at his name on the screen. This guy was so annoying.
Since he wasn't going to pay it back, she shouldn't go and shouldn't listen to him.
Chen Congyu planned to have dinner with her colleagues nearby after work before going back. Halfway through the meal, she received a message from Xue Mingrui asking her where she was.
She was having dinner with Jiang Xilin and the others, and her period suddenly came, staining her skirt. If Chen Congyu was outside, could he bring her a skirt?
The location was assigned to Xue Mingrui, which is a ten-minute drive away.
Chen Congyu said: [Then I will go over later.]
Xue Mingrui: [Okay, no need to rush.]
After finishing her meal, Chen Congyu immediately went to a nearby shopping mall and bought a dark skirt to bring to Xue Mingrui.
After arriving at the restaurant, she looked for their seat. When she turned the corner, she saw two familiar figures, Jiang Xilin and Duan Ke. She reflexively took a step back to see what they were doing.
They were quite far away, in the yard, and Chen Congyu couldn't hear them talking, but he could tell that they were both in a very calm state.
If they hadn't broken up, they wouldn't look alike at all.
Chen Congyu didn't want to be too deliberate, so she asked the waiter to go around to find Xue Mingrui from the other side.
Xue Mingrui had already changed into a clean skirt and explained to Shen Congyu: “Brother Yan Zhao bought it for me. I didn’t expect it. I just changed it, but I thought you should have arrived, so I didn’t tell you.”
Yan Zhao was indeed there, and Shen Congyu glanced at him and then looked away.
She was a little surprised. Xue Mingrui said that she was embarrassed to tell them that her skirt was dirty, but Yan Zhao actually noticed it and secretly bought clothes for her.
Maybe Shen Congyu had a bad impression of him, she always felt that he was not such a careful person.
But since Shen Congyu was here, Xue Mingrui still pulled her to sit down.
A few minutes later, Jiang Xilin came back and raised his eyebrows when he saw her.
"Didn't you say you couldn't come?"
Chen Congyu: "I'm here to find Ruirui, it has nothing to do with you."
Thinking about how he had lied to her again about Duan Ke, she couldn't help but feel a hint of dissatisfaction in her words.
Jiang Xilin heard it, but thought she was still concerned about the ring, so he didn't take it to heart.
