Chapter 170 Chen Zhan, I Love You
The mobile phone page that lit up was a notification that Chen Zan had successfully issued the ticket.
Chen Zhan knew at once that he had misunderstood, and explained with a smile: "Zhou Jingyu, what are you talking about? I went abroad because..."
Zhou Jingyu interrupted her, suppressing his anger and the momentary panic that flashed in his eyes: "Do you really have to go abroad?"
The smile on Chen Zan's face gradually faded, because she found that Zhou Jingyu seemed really afraid that she would go abroad and leave again. The breakup in Rongchuan five years ago seemed to have cast a huge shadow on him.
So she went forward and hugged him, and explained in a soft voice that she was going abroad to complete the resignation procedures and to deal with the house lease termination at the same time.
Zhou Jingyu didn't quite believe it and frowned, "Are you telling the truth?"
Chen Zhan's tone remained gentle: "Of course it's true. If I wanted to go back to headquarters, why didn't I go back to work after the New Year? Why waste so much time taking the exam?"
Zhou Jingyu raised his hand and pressed his brow. His tense nerves finally let out a breath and he whispered, "I thought this was a way out for yourself."
Chen Zan looked up at him and said, "When you said you were on a business trip just now, I was about to tell you about this, but I was interrupted by the message from my senior. However, you still saw it first."
In the end, Zhou Jingyu was too afraid of losing Chen Zan. They had separated once five years ago. After reconciling this time, he still felt insecure in his heart. He was afraid that Chen Zan would be disappointed in her mother and had no thoughts about life in China. Otherwise, he would not have asked her to write a letter of guarantee. When he saw her going out to fool around with other men, he would feel a sense of crisis.
After all, he is almost 34 years old this year, eight years older than Chen Zan. She is still young, but he is no longer young.
If he were still the same age as when he first met Chen Zan five years ago, he would definitely not have this sense of crisis of worrying about gains and losses. He could even have waited for her to come back during the five years of separation.
Especially today, when he saw Chen Zan standing at the school gate, she looked just like she did when she was 19 years old, making him feel dazed for a moment.
If he didn't exercise and stay young, if he didn't have this face, like Mr. Wang and Mr. Li at the wine table, with fat everywhere, out of shape, and sparse hair, even with his current power and status, she probably wouldn't even look at him when she was around Chen Zan.
So sometimes he was glad that he had a face that Chen Zan liked.
Chen Zan looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. Mr. Zhou, who used to be powerful and respected, now showed such strong lack of confidence and anxiety in front of her.
Recalling the conversation in the car that night, Chen Zhan suddenly realized that those words were not lies meant to trick her, he just said them in another half-true and half-false way.
This caused a complex wave of emotions to surge in her heart, including surprise, confusion, and a hint of indescribable heartache.
Chen Zhan took a deep breath and whispered, "No, Zhou Jingyu. No matter how time passes, no matter how the years change, my feelings for you will not change. Even if you grow old, I will still like you and love you. We are lovers, and we will be husband and wife in the future. If we have children, we will be their parents. Even if we grow old, we will still accompany each other, and our existence is more important than family and lovers."
Her voice was gentle and firm, as if conveying an unshakable belief to Zhou Jingyu.
The man's heart was touched, and he couldn't help but hug her tightly in his arms, burying his face in her neck, his Adam's apple rolling, and calling her name in a hoarse voice: "Chen Zhan, I love you."
"I know." Chen Zhan finished speaking, then suddenly raised his voice and continued, "So, Zhou Jingyu, I won't allow you to fall from the altar. You should always be that high and mighty Mr. Zhou, looked up to and feared by others."
Zhou Jingyu was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed briefly and kissed the skin on the side of her neck. "Zhanzhan, I didn't know before that I was such a great figure in your heart."
Chen Zhan: “…”
So this guy really can't be serious for more than a few minutes in front of her.
Mr. Zhou, who suddenly felt inferior, is also very good!
…
Zhou Jingyu was on a business trip and Chen Zan flew abroad.
He originally wanted to find someone to accompany Chen Zan. Chen Zan had been there for five years and was more familiar with the place than the capital, so there was no need for anyone to accompany him.
After completing the resignation procedures at the headquarters, I had already packed up most of the things at my workstation when I went on a business trip before the New Year. This time I came here just to sign and check various cooperation documents in my mailbox.
After completing all the resignation procedures, Sister Anna wanted to treat Chen Zan to a meal. If everything went well with the exams after she returned to China, she really didn't know when they would meet next time.
The meal was not lively between the two of them, so they called Amy and several female colleagues at the headquarters who were familiar with Chen Zan. They had dinner together until nine o'clock in the evening before they separated.
Amy's apartment was in the same block as Chen Zhan's. They took a taxi back together. On the way, she mentioned Zhou Jingyu. She still remembered that in order to pursue Chen Zhan, Zhou Jingyu took a helicopter to the mountain to pick her up even though the mountain was closed due to a blizzard.
"Are you two together?" Amy had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
Chen Zhan nodded, "Yes, we are together."
Amy showed an expression that I knew for sure. "I noticed it from the beginning. The way you looked at him was the most different. The kind of reserved and implicit love that only you Orientals can have. It's all in your eyes. Although you didn't say it, you like him."
Chen Zhan was surprised: "Is it that exaggerated? I thought I hid it well."
Amy shook her head. "No, no, no, you don't know. Just the two of you standing together creates a different kind of magnetic field than the people around you. It's like that saying, a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven."
Chen Zhan: "Amy, your idioms have improved again."
Amy: "My trip to China was not in vain, Cynthia, I wish you happiness!"
She said it sincerely.
Chen Zhan smiled gently: "Thank you, I will be happy Amy."
She got out of the car first, took the key and opened the door.
The house she rented originally belonged to a Chinese landlady. It had three floors. The landlord lived on the first floor, the second floor was rented out, and the third floor was an attic and garden, where they could usually have gatherings.
However, Chen Zhan often runs between the school and the headquarters and has little free time. The landlady also lives here alone. Her children live in the seventh district and don't come here often. She will take time out every month to go to the seventh district and stay with her family for a week, so the upstairs area is almost only used by Chen Zhan.
At this time, I thought the landlady was asleep, but I didn’t expect the lights on the first floor were still on.
Hearing some noise outside, she opened the door and happened to meet Chen Zhan who was going upstairs. "Cynthia, you're back."
Chen Zhan asked in surprise, "Long time no see, Ms. Fei. It's so late, haven't you rested yet?"
Ms. Fei said, "You're back to handle your resignation and rent cancellation, right? Mr. Zhou's people specifically told me you'd be having dinner with colleagues today and would be back late. There have been spontaneous protests in the neighborhood over the past two days, and it's unsafe at night. They told me to stay up late and make sure you get home safely."
Chen Zan was startled and frowned, "Mr. Zhou? Do you know Zhou Jingyu?"
Ms. Fei was puzzled and asked, "Didn't Xiaobai say that you and Mr. Zhou had reconciled? Didn't he tell you that this house is not actually mine? I'm just the housekeeper hired by Mr. Zhou."
Chen Zan's breathing stagnated, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and some truths seemed to gradually surface.
