60 Want Status
◎What do you take me for? A free duck?!◎
Jiang Suiyun was completely unaware of what happened last night.
It wasn't until the next morning that the sunlight filtered through the gauze curtains, casting a mottled halo on the floor.
Jiang Suiyun opened her eyes in a daze. She went to bed early last night and woke up early today. Her body was still sore from yesterday's frenzy. She subconsciously rubbed against the heat source next to her.
A few seconds later, I woke up suddenly.
She reached for the phone next to her and checked the time.
Phew, it’s still early.
The second semi-final will start the day after tomorrow. This time the competition will be held in City N. She has to pack her things and catch the afternoon flight.
Although City N is not particularly famous at home or abroad, it is close to Beijing, and the two cities even have a "same city circle", so the economy is naturally well developed.
The organizer of the competition is Cielo, but the largest domestic sponsor is a local century-old jewelry brand in City N, so the semi-finals will be held there.
Jiang Suiyun got up quietly, trying not to wake up the person who was still sleeping next to him, and picked up his phone to check the flight information.
However, He Chifeng didn’t sleep much last night, and he put down his phone only when it was dawn.
A rustling sound woke him up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Suiyun with his back to him, operating something on his mobile phone. There was an open suitcase on the ground, and he looked like he was ready to leave.
The anger accumulated from not sleeping all night, coupled with the frustration and uneasiness of being questioned by his brother last night, "Who are you to her?", suddenly flooded his heart.
It made him suddenly sober up.
He Chifeng sat up suddenly, his face gloomy: "What are you doing so early in the morning?"
Jiang Suiyun subconsciously turned around when she heard the voice. When she saw the dark circles under the man's eyes and his taut jawline, she was shocked.
Did this guy wait until she fell asleep last night and then go out to steal again?
The dark circles are so heavy.
"Are you... awake? My competition starts the day after tomorrow. I've been assigned to the N City competition zone, and I have to catch a flight this afternoon."
Jiang Suiyun felt a little guilty when talking about going to N City for the competition.
After all, she had told He Chifeng before that she would be able to return to Country A in a few days, but it has been over a month.
However, even if she wanted to go, she would have to wait until she finished all the domestic competitions. Besides, she was avoiding He Linchuan before, but during this period, He Linchuan almost disappeared from her life.
She was a little wary at first, afraid that this man was trying to scam her, but she hadn't seen He Linchuan for more than a week since their last confrontation.
Jiang Suiyun felt a little relieved.
That’s right.
He Linchuan is handsome and rich, so there is no need for him to hang himself on her tree.
Just looking at He Chifeng's ugly face, and even the uncontrollable irritability emanating from his entire body, it was obvious that he had not slept well the night before.
She hesitated to speak, and could not help frowning: "But you are..."
Try to stay up late as little as possible because your wound has not healed yet. Looking at your appearance, you can see that you are exhausted.
He Chifeng knew what she wanted to ask by looking at her eyes.
Thinking about what happened last night, he became annoyed.
After he posted on the forum, the group of netizens not only had no idea what to do, but also ridiculed him.
It was said that Jiang Suiyun was only after his body, and he had no status or position to begin with.
There are also those who ask him to give up his seat voluntarily.
Those idiots know nothing!
He argued with that group of netizens for the whole night and was so angry that he couldn't sleep. But he definitely wouldn't let Jiang Suiyun know about this kind of thing, as it would damage his image.
He Chifeng's tone was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I stayed up late last night to deal with work."
Jiang Suiyun knew that He Chifeng rarely played with electronic devices. He usually used his phone when he was either working or not, so he didn't doubt it: "Your injury hasn't healed yet, so don't stay up late."
Hearing this, He Chifeng's expression eased a lot. Jiang Suiyun's concern was very helpful to him. Thinking of the words his brother used to mock him last night, he couldn't help but feel proud again.
Look, at least Jiang Suiyun still cares about him. If they were just bed partners, why would she care about his injuries?
As long as they spend more time together, she will accept him sooner or later.
The more He Chifeng thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. He got out of bed and prepared to pack his things: "What time is the flight? I'm driving over..."
"No, no," Jiang Suiyun quickly stopped him, waving his phone. "Your injury isn't fully healed yet. I can take a taxi myself later."
He Chifeng stared at her and suddenly asked out of the blue, "How many tickets did you buy?"
Jiang Suiyun answered subconsciously: "One."
Should I buy him one too? He's not going to the competition.
He Chifeng laughed and asked directly, "You just bought one ticket?" The words sounded like they were squeezed out from between his teeth.
Jiang Suiyun was stunned for a moment, not understanding where his anger came from: "What else? I'm going to a competition, not a trip."
"What about me?" He Chifeng was completely incited by her taking it for granted and not taking him into account at all.
He took a step closer, trapping her between the closet door and his chest, his breath hot on her face. "Are you planning to just leave like this and leave me here alone?"
Jiang Suiyun looked up and met the man's dark and deep eyes, which were filled with suppressed anger and a kind of grievance that she couldn't understand?
In fact, the main reason she didn't want to bring anyone along was because he was too noisy. To be honest, it was okay if it happened a few times, but if it happened every day, Jiang Suiyun felt she really couldn't handle it.
She pushed him away a little and tried to reason with him: "Ahem... your injuries haven't fully healed yet, you need to rest, and... don't you have anything else to do? We can't stay together forever."
Although she thought He Chifeng was an excellent bed saddle, Jiang Suiyun felt that a bed saddle also needed a sense of boundaries.
However, she didn't expect He Chifeng to explode instantly after hearing this.
He Chifeng knew that she simply wanted to use him and then throw him away.
The inexplicable anger from last night flared up again. He grabbed Jiang Suiyun's wrist fiercely, his strength a little out of control: "What do you mean? I just slept with you last night, and you want to slip away today! What do you think of me, a free duck?!"
Jiang Suiyun was stunned by his yelling and his wrist hurt.
She had no idea what happened last night, so naturally she didn't understand what this person was so sensitive about.
For a moment, he felt angry and aggrieved, and couldn't help but say harshly: "He Chifeng, what are you crazy about! We...were we like this before? We were just bedmates, and I didn't promise you anything else!"
Bed, companion, relationship, connection.
These four words hit He Chi's heart so hard that he was furious: "Jiang Suiyun!"
Jiang Suiyun felt a little scared when she saw him looking like he was about to kill someone, but she had already said it, so she had to finish it: "Isn't it? You said that before, isn't it impossible for you to like me?"
He Chifeng was choked by her and was speechless. Yes, he had said this before, but why did it sound so harsh now?
He grabbed a handful of his hair in frustration, suddenly remembering a reply he'd seen on the forum yesterday: [Don't worry about whether she has feelings for you or not, just secure her status first. With that status, many things will fall into place! And, that's the only way to openly chase away all the flies. Exes and successors, all gone!]
Status...
His eyes darkened.
An idea quickly flashed through his mind. Although it was frustrating, it seemed to be the fastest way to tie her up and effectively annoy his brother.
He Chifeng took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and tried to make his voice sound calmer, even with a hint of consideration for her.
"Okay, even if it's a bed frame." He admitted this almost through gritted teeth.
"Then think about my brother. He came to see you last night."
He Chifeng stared into her eyes and spoke these words word by word.
Jiang Suiyun was indeed stunned, his pupils shrinking slightly: "...When? How come I didn't know?"
"Right after you fell asleep." He Chifeng observed her reaction and, after perceiving her resistance, he immediately quickened his voice. "Guess what he told me? He said he would do whatever it takes to get you back to him."
Jiang Suiyun's breathing became noticeably faster.
She thought of He Linchuan's bottomless, sinister eyes, and her heart really chilled.
"so what……"
He Chifeng sneered at this and said, "Why did he come to you? It's obvious that he hasn't given up on you. However, there is a way for you to concentrate on the competition and have some peace and quiet from now on..."
"What method?"
Jiang Suiyun asked subconsciously.
The man seemed to be waiting for her to say this. His true intentions were finally revealed, and he finally said the plan that had been circling in his mind all night: "You just have to pretend to be my girlfriend to others."
Jiang Suiyun raised his eyes and looked at the man with an indescribable look. His eyes seemed to be saying, do you think I am a fool?
This excuse is laughably lame.
What's the difference between this and letting a wolf into the house?
"This is the easiest way."
He Chifeng avoided her inquiring gaze, his tone became more "righteous" and his words were more convincing.
It was as if he was completely considering Jiang Suiyun: "My brother values the interests of the company the most. No matter how crazy he is, he would never blatantly steal his own brother's girlfriend and cause such a scandal, unless he wants to cause Shengrong's stock price to plummet!"
This reason is quite tenable.
He Chifeng looked at the hesitant expression of the person in front of him, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart, mixed with a deeper sense of depression.
He Chifeng, when did he have to rely on this kind of excuse to seek status!
But other than that, he couldn't think of a faster way.
He leaned closer to Jiang Suiyun, lowering his voice with a hint of temptation: "It's just pretending, it won't do you any harm. Are you afraid that I will pester you when the time comes? I'm not as shameless as my brother. What do you think?"
Jiang Suiyun's heart was pounding. Although this proposal sounded absurd, it actually made sense inexplicably.
Reason told her that He Chifeng was not an easy person to deal with... But since he said so, given his stubborn personality, it wouldn't be impossible to get rid of him in the end. At most, it would be a little difficult to get rid of him... If she could get rid of He Linchuan completely, it would actually be quite a good deal. Jiang Suiyun was shamefully moved.
She was mainly afraid that He Linchuan would do something more extreme. It would indeed be much better if He Chifeng could act as a shield.
And...it's just pretend...right?
She took a deep breath and nodded slightly, as if possessed by a mysterious force.
"Just pretending."
He Chifeng's eyes flashed with surprising brightness. The gloom and anger from earlier had long since vanished. He could barely hide his triumphant smile. He nodded quickly, his tone firm: "Of course, it's just a pretense."
pretend?
Haha, you’re on his boat now, and you think you can get off easily?
He suddenly felt that his fight with those idiot netizens on the forum last night was not in vain.
What they said makes some sense - as long as you have a status, even if it is fake... it can slowly become real.
He Chifeng opened his phone and started booking a plane ticket. As a boyfriend, he definitely couldn't let his girlfriend go to the competition alone, so he had to go with her.
It makes sense.
