Chapter 60 Why Do I Miss You So Much
Chen Zan stayed at home at night and would go to school early the next morning. During the day, someone in the owners' group recommended a good nanny to Xu Jing, and they made an appointment to meet her after get off work in the evening. Director Gu accompanied her out.
After watching TV with my grandma in the living room for a while, my grandma felt sleepy and went back to her room to sleep. She also planned to go back to her room to read a book before going to sleep.
Looking at the time, it was not yet half past eight, and there was a message Zhou Jingyu had sent her ten minutes ago, asking her what she was doing.
Chen Zhan replied: "I was watching TV with my grandma just now, so I didn't see it."
After sending the message, she was still confused. How could Zhou Jingyu, such a busy man, have time to send her a message when he was so free at the cocktail party?
The other party didn't reply, and she didn't close it. She opened the chat box with Xu Anan and asked her how things were going and whether there was any hope of inviting Zhou Jingyu.
Xu Anan didn't reply either, probably because she was busy too.
She turned off her phone, took her clothes and book and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
When I returned to the bedroom, my silent phone was vibrating on the bed, and the call showed that it was Zhou Jingyu.
She picked up the phone and whispered, "Mr. Zhou?"
The background on the other side of the phone was very quiet. Zhou Jingyu laughed softly, "Miss Chen, are you stealing at home? Why are you so quiet?"
Chen Zhan's face flushed as he explained, "Grandma is asleep, and the room isn't soundproof."
Zhou Jingyu heard this and said, "Want to have a midnight snack? I'll treat you."
Chen Zhan asked doubtfully, "Weren't you at the cocktail party? Why did it end so early?"
She clearly heard An An say that the cocktail party would not start until eight o'clock, and it was only nine o'clock now.
Zhou Jingyu said, "It's boring, I left early."
Chen Zhan exclaimed, "Then you left too early."
"So, Miss Chen, would you be so kind as to come downstairs and have supper with me?" The man's tone was drawn out and slow, indescribably seductive.
Chen Zhan realized what he said, "You are downstairs from my house?"
He hummed softly.
She was a little bit incredulous, and quickly opened the bedroom door and walked towards the balcony in the living room.
Chen Zan lived on the 7th floor. When she opened the living room window, she could see a black car parked downstairs. A person was standing under the street light. He raised his head as if sensing something and looked in her direction.
Although she couldn't see clearly, Chen Zan could feel Zhou Jingyu's eyes that always looked at her nonchalantly but with a gentle smile.
Her heart was beating fast, and she couldn't suppress a smile on her face. She said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Wait for me five minutes."
After hanging up the phone, she ran back to the room. Without even having time to change clothes, she put on a long down jacket over her nightgown and ran downstairs.
When I pushed open the door of the unit downstairs, Zhou Jingyu was already waiting there tall and slender. The street light stretched his shadow very long, as if even his figure was glowing.
Chen Zan almost subconsciously ran over and threw herself into his arms. Zhou Jingyu also opened his arms and held her firmly.
A faint smell of alcohol lingered on the man. She buried herself in his warm, hard chest, took two deep breaths, and said a little embarrassedly, "Zhou Jingyu, we just separated this morning, why do I miss you so much?"
The little girl's coquettish voice was soft and gentle, like the lingering winter breeze, with a hint of sweetness.
Zhou Jingyu would never have thought that coming here tonight would bring him unexpected gains. The fact that she could say such words, does it prove that she also has feelings for him?
A huge surprise came crashing down. Zhou Jingyu tightened his arms around her, buried his head in the crook of her neck and kissed her, saying softly, "Because I miss you too."
They kissed passionately under the street light, without any lust, they just wanted to kiss at that moment, so they did it.
After the deep kiss, Chen Zan suddenly remembered that they were still downstairs of his house. Xu Jing and Director Gu might come back at any time, and they might be seen by familiar neighbors. After realizing this, the tips of his ears turned red.
Zhou Jingyu stuffed her into the car. The person who drove over tonight was not Secretary Zhang, but Zhou Jingyu's driver in the company. He was also very considerate and directly raised the rear window baffle.
As the car drove out, Chen Zan huddled in Zhou Jingyu's arms, not daring to look out the window. He couldn't help but find it funny, "What are you hiding from?"
Chen Zhan had no choice but to explain: "My mother and Director Gu will pass through this door when they come back. If she knew that I secretly ran away with you at night, I would be dead."
Zhou Jingyu pinched the back of her neck and frowned, "Are you so afraid of being discovered that you're with me?"
Chen Zhan curled his fingers slightly and said, "You know my mom and grandma, maybe because of what happened with grandpa, they always have a strong resistance to people from the capital, so..."
She hesitated to speak.
Zhou Jingyu looked calm, not knowing whether to believe it or not. He just said, "I understand. I won't embarrass you."
Then he lifted her up from his arms and said helplessly, "You can't see into the car from the outside, so there's no need to hide."
——
Zhou Jingyu attended a cocktail party in the evening and only drank but didn't eat anything. It was true that he wanted to see her, but he also really wanted her to have dinner with him.
The driver drove the car to a private restaurant. The owner had already reserved a private room, which was well heated. Chen Zan felt like he was about to sweat within a minute of entering.
She hesitantly took off her coat, revealing the childish Cinnamon Dog plush nightgown underneath, which was totally out of tune with the high-end decoration here.
She bought these pajamas when she was in high school. At that time, she was young and addicted to Sanrio blind boxes. Her favorite was Cinnamon Dog. At that time, not only her pajamas, but also the headbands of her slippers were of this cartoon character.
Now that I'm in college, I feel childish and don't continue buying them. I just live at home and put on any pajamas I pick up.
Zhou Jingyu didn't expect Chen Zhan to come out with him in pajamas. While his heart was full, he couldn't help but say, "Zhan Zhan, you make me feel guilty."
Chen Zhan reacted instantly, tilted his head, and asked with a confused look, "Why?"
Zhou Jingyu raised his hand and rubbed and pinched her pajamas ear, his Adam's apple rolling, and said in a nonchalant tone: "Because of you, I feel like I am abducting a minor."
Chen Zan was originally the pretty and well-behaved type. She was seven or eight years younger than him. Now she was wearing cartoon pajamas and had a fair and tender face, which reminded him of his five-year-old niece.
After saying this, Chen Zan originally thought that the pajamas she was wearing were at most a little childish, but after hearing Zhou Jingyu's description of her, she inexplicably felt a sense of shame.
But in an instant, other evil thoughts arose in her mind. A sly glint flashed across her clear eyes. She held her chin with her hand and deliberately approached him and said, "Mr. Zhou, if I were really a minor, would you still abduct me?"
Zhou Jingyu teased her deliberately, raising his eyebrows slightly and looking at her lazily with half-closed eyelids, "Are you trying to make me commit a crime?"
Chen Zhan tilted his head, blinked his eyes, and pretended to be innocent and said, "Will you commit a crime against me?"
Zhou Jingyu's eyes darkened upon hearing this, and he revealed a dangerous aura without making a sound. "Chen Zan, don't seduce me, or I will commit a crime against you right now."
The look and tone didn't seem fake, and Chen Zan immediately pursed his lips.
She snorted in displeasure, this guy was trying to tease her, but she couldn't handle the fun herself.
Just as the waiter came in to serve the food, Chen Zhan deliberately hugged Zhou Jingyu's arm and said in a sweet tone, "Brother-in-law, isn't it bad for you to bring me out for a midnight snack without telling my sister?"
