Chapter 9, Chapter 133: If 2: Who will be the main wife...?
About two years after Jin Chaoyang got married, Jin Chuwan suddenly felt that she should also choose to be alone.
It wasn't because everyone around her got married and she gradually became one of the few, nor was it because her parents were urging her to compromise under pressure.
The main reason for this actually stemmed from a night of heavy drinking.
But if she had known this day would come, she would have listened to Jiang Chen and stayed far away from alcohol!
But reality doesn't offer "what ifs".
Moreover, Jin Chuwan herself was completely confused about what happened that day.
A university reunion after many years.
Some bored guy suggested playing Truth or Dare. They drank from 7 pm to 9 pm, and Jin Chuwan, clearly feeling tipsy, was unlucky enough to be chosen by the pointer again. She couldn't drink anymore, and wanting a chance to leave the private room for some fresh air, she gave up Truth and chose Dare.
Who knew that the king would suddenly have the idea to have her call the school's most popular boy from back then and confess her feelings to him.
The campus heartthrob of T University back then
Jin Chuwan propped her face up and thought for a long time before Zhou Zishu finally reminded her that she was the new boss of the Li Group.
Everyone at the table looked at her, most of them with the intention of watching the show.
After all, that person is now one of the richest people in the world. Although he rarely appears among his classmates, he is always the center of attention. Who would have thought that the low-key and gentle alumnus had such a powerful background?
Many girls liked him back then, and even though he graduated four or five years ago, any topic about him still attracts a lot of attention.
Originally, it was just a prank among her classmates to get Jin Chuwan to make the call; they just wanted her to keep drinking. Who knew she would actually pull her phone out of her bag in a daze?
She was probably a little drunk, or maybe she felt that her relationship with Li Xing'en was enough to justify this little joke.
In short, Jin Chuwan dialed the number with a serious expression.
And all of Jin Chuwan's memories end here.
When she woke up again, she was already lying in her own bed at home.
The room was a bit messy. Her backpack was hanging on the sofa, and there was a note left by Luo An on the table, which probably told her to rest well and not to drink too much in the future.
Everything was normal, just like a regular hangover.
If her phone screen didn't have that many missed calls and unread text messages.
At first, she thought there was a problem with the case she was handling, but upon closer inspection, she realized that most of the people contacting her were her friends rather than her colleagues from the legal department.
Li Xing'en was at the very top. Jin Chuwan pressed her temples and casually opened a voice message.
Soon, a familiar, gentle voice came from the phone.
"I was talking about something, so I hung up a bit hastily, but don't misunderstand, I absolutely didn't mean to brush you off. I... I'm so happy. When I called you back, your classmate answered the phone. She said you were asleep, so I didn't want to bother you... But now I can't help it, I really want to hear your voice..."
The voice on the phone gradually became excited but was quickly restrained.
"I really... I never thought I'd hear your feelings one day. My assistant just said I was smiling like an idiot, but I'm so excited right now, Wanwan. I feel like I'm dreaming. If my business in Rouen wasn't still ongoing, I really want to fly back to see you right now..."
Jin Chuwan could hear a hint of sobbing in his voice when he called her name. Before she could even be shocked, her phone automatically played a message.
"So today is our first day together. How about we celebrate together every year on this day?"
"It's exactly 8:00 AM in the East 8 time zone. I'm so excited I haven't slept a wink all night. Where's my girlfriend? Are you still in bed?"
"I just passed by a jewelry store, and I don't know what kind of jewelry my aunt likes."
Kim Cho-wan's fingers unconsciously moved, and she saw a storefront filled with wedding rings, as well as four or five close-up photos of diamond rings.
In an instant, Jin Chuwan felt a tingling sensation down her spine. The headache from her drunken night made her mind still unclear. She shook her head, but her finger accidentally tapped the bottom right corner of her Moments.
The backend still showed 99+ comments. Jin Chuwan felt something was wrong and cautiously clicked to check. Her phone quickly and automatically jumped to a certain post on Moments.
The above is a photo of her and Li Xing'en from their student days, with the Li family villa in Gangnam District in the background.
The text below reads: It has always been you, it has always been you, and it will always be you.
Jin Chuwan looked at the countless congratulatory messages sent by people she knew or didn't know. In addition, there were some very familiar accounts making sarcastic remarks under the photos.
For example, Jiang Chen politely typed a question mark, while Cheng Ya directly advised her partner not to act crazy in the middle of the night. Ran Xian then posted the phone number of the head of the psychiatry department, and Yin Zhihua followed with a laughing emoji.
Jin Chuwan was already sweating profusely by this point, but she didn't expect there to be a comment from Lily below.
"What? Li Xing'en, are you crazy? That's your aunt!"
Her comment section was clean, with only a concise explanation from a former domineering CEO.
"There is no blood relation."
Jin Chuwan didn't dare to read any further. She quickly scrolled through the unread messages in the app. The vast majority were from people trying to confirm gossip, some were formulaic blessings like "May you have a long and happy marriage," and others were like Cheng Ya, mocking Li Xing'en for daydreaming by showing screenshots of her Moments.
Whether Li Xingen was dreaming or not, Jin Chuwan felt like she was the one who hadn't woken up yet...
She hadn't been so afraid as to bite her fingers in many years.
But she's really panicking right now.
It's not just about clearing up misunderstandings anymore; Lee Sung-eun has already made it public on her private account.
Jin Chuwan browsed other apps and, sure enough, some quick-witted media outlets had already embellished the news that a certain Mr. Li was about to have a good wedding.
Things had come to this point, and Jin Chuwan was at a loss. What was even more frightening was that she didn't even have the courage to explain herself.
If it was just a joke, he would hate her for the rest of his life...
Jin Chuwan clutched her aching head. At that moment, she really wished she could travel through time again. However, reality is reality. Before she could figure out how to reply, her phone suddenly vibrated.
Upon seeing that the caller ID showed Li Xing'en, Jin Chuwan reacted as if she had touched a hot potato, throwing her phone far away and staring at the screen until the vibration stopped.
...That's terrifying.
Jin Chuwan hugged the blanket and began to zone out.
They'd known each other for so many years, and she knew his feelings. Even if it was a mistake, trying to date wouldn't be a bad thing.
The problem is that Jin Chuwan had just agreed to try getting along with Jiang Chen the day before the class reunion.
So what do we do now...?
Jin Chuwan covered her face with her hands, her emotions a mixture of confusion, collapse, helplessness, and bewilderment.
Just then, her doorbell rang again.
Jin Chuwan casually straightened her clothes and peered into the cat's eyes.
The person who arrived was wearing a leather suit and carrying a rice cooker.
She carefully opened the door, and sure enough, Jiang Chen was standing outside.
This guy's business in China is very stable now, and it's said that one of his subsidiaries has projects that are in cooperation with the government. But Jin Chuwan was quite surprised that he would occasionally come to her house to feed her.
Is it possible for a CEO to have this much free time?
Jin Chuwan tidied her messy hair and stepped aside to let Jiang Chen in.
"It's already past nine o'clock, don't tell me you just woke up?"
As Jiang Chen took off his slippers, he handed the rice cooker to Jin Chuwan. Perhaps because she was used to living alone, Jin Chuwan had become increasingly carefree since returning to China. She would either skip breakfast, lunch, or dinner, completely acting as if she couldn't take care of herself. Yet, he wouldn't allow anyone to say anything, or she would give him the silent treatment or pretend not to see his calls.
Jiang Chen's eyes showed a hint of helplessness at the thought: "Go wash your face, then come over and drink the hangover soup."
Although Kim Cho-wan is usually quite restrained, she occasionally drinks too much because she can't resist persuasion.
Jiang Chen was worried when he went to the class reunion yesterday, but Jin Chuwan insisted on keeping their relationship a secret for the time being, so he didn't insist.
Who knew I'd see some strange messages in the middle of the night?
Jiang Chen brought the hangover soup from the kitchen to the table. Just then, Jin Chuwan came out of the bathroom. She must have really drunk too much last night. Although she was awake, her eyes were still a little hazy. Jiang Chen couldn't help himself and leaned down to give her a light kiss on the lips.
Jin Chuwan was still somewhat resistant, but considering that she had already agreed to get along well, she did not refuse this time.
But to her surprise, Jiang Chen seemed encouraged, reaching out to hold the back of her head, his lips and tongue moving as he tried to penetrate deeper.
If Jin Chuwan's initial lack of rejection was an acceptance of their relationship, she had already begun to regret it as Jiang Chen's actions unfolded.
She could feel his breath growing hotter, his arms tightening around her, and even his eyes becoming more and more yearning and moist.
“Jiang…Jiang Chen…”
Jin Chuwan tried to push away the person who was hugging her; she was still somewhat nervous and resistant. She could try to accept someone, but suddenly being as intimate as a lover in the throes of passion was something she couldn't adapt to for a while.
"We agreed it was just a trial, you can't do this..."
Jiang Chen lowered his eyes to look at the person he would be holding in his arms, then slowly lowered his head and buried it in Jin Chuwan's neck.
A moment later, Jin Chuwan heard his deep voice.
"...I know I won't."
Jin Chuwan felt his breath on her neck, which tickled her, but she dared not move.
Although he kept saying he would behave himself, his body was clearly burning with an undeniable heat.
Ever since she nodded the night before last, the way this man looked at her has been very strange.
However, they are not strictly speaking in a real romantic relationship.
Jin Chuwan was a little flustered. She hugged the bowl on the table and slowly took a sip.
"Hey, aren't you going to let go?"
The head on her shoulder slowly shook. Jin Chuwan felt his heavy, hot breath. She gently pushed him away, and Jiang Chen obediently raised his head. But after a while, he nuzzled against her shoulder again.
"You just eat your food and don't worry about me."
Jin Chuwan couldn't help but frown after hearing this. He was kissing and rubbing against her like that, and he was telling her to pretend he didn't exist?
"Let go first..."
Jiang Chen seemed like a humanoid robot following its master's orders. Although it obediently let go, its eyes were unfocused and lingering, even somewhat lost.
Jin Chuwan sat down on the other side with her bowl in her hand, but in her heart she was thinking that she should be more careful when she got along with Jiang Chen in the future. When they were in school, everyone said that he was a cold and aloof high-class beauty.
But she felt like he was a clingy person on drugs, the kind who would lose control if she touched him too much.
So much so that she's a little scared now.
Jin Chuwan was lost in thought while eating, while Jiang Chen rested his chin on his hand and looked at her calmly.
It wasn't until Jin Chuwan had almost finished eating that he took out his phone and laid it out on the table.
Kim Cho-wan saw his finger swipe across the screen a few times, and then a screenshot of the page popped up.
The above is a conversation between two men.
"You're full? Then explain..."
