Chapter 89 Boss Zhou Pretending to Be Dead
I originally wanted to invite Zhou Minghe to dinner.
But when Zhou Minghe was mentioned, Shi Qingci suddenly remembered him.
Zhou Minghe and his boss are still visiting buildings in England.
Because Shi Qingci left temporarily.
The final meeting in the UK has also stalled.
“I’ll take you there. We’ll go to England to buy the Warrior’s Sword you mentioned, the one with the hilt inlaid with rubies, hmm?” Shi Qingci put her arm around Cheng Jia and pressed her into the bed, not letting her get up.
Cheng Jia didn't want to go: "...You're discussing business, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to come along."
"You're my boss, you should be following me the most." Shi Qingci always had his twisted logic, but it wasn't really twisted logic.
As things stand now, Cheng Jia is indeed his boss.
Every penny earned belongs to Cheng Jia.
There is a voluntary gift agreement.
"Please? Come with me, come with me," Shi Qingci said softly, reluctant to let go. "I've only been gone for less than 24 hours, and you're already running off to the 'Cancer and Oncology Department.' I'm too scared to go anywhere else."
"......"
"Okay, I'll go to England with you."
Cheng Jia agreed, so she went ahead and accompanied him.
Judging from this, they'll probably become conjoined twins in the future.
Shi Qingci clung to him tightly. After all, they had missed five years, and now that they had a legitimate identity and relationship, she was naturally unwilling to miss a single moment again.
After quickly packing his luggage, Cheng Jia put on a black baseball cap.
Shi Qingci called for the helicopter to return to base...
Less than half an hour after the helicopter took off, Cheng Jia was in critical condition!
I feel dizzy and nauseous, and my bones feel like they're about to fall apart.
to be honest--
This is even harder to ride than a tractor.
So even rich people suffer.
Cheng Jia said that if she only needed to vomit for two or three hours, she should just bear with it, but Shi Qingci refused, saying that the schedule wasn't urgent and that they should find the nearest airport to land, as she couldn't bear to see Cheng Jia suffer.
Especially recently, Cheng Jia's back has been really hurting.
You can imagine how unbearable it must be to be jostled like that.
So they made an emergency landing midway and bought a plane ticket in a nearby city.
While waiting for her flight, Cheng Jia ate a sandwich that Shi Qingci had bought and answered Lin Baiyue's call: "...Hmm, I was gone for a few days, and you're back already? Okay, send it to my phone, I'll check it when I get there."
Lin Baiyue's album teaser has been released.
He immediately let Cheng Jia hear it.
The two leaned against the sofa in the waiting room, each with a pure white Bluetooth earphone, munching on sandwiches and listening to Lin Baiyue's original songs, the melodies filled with a faint sadness.
But for them at this moment—
Even the suona sounds like a love song.
The lyrics are about heartbreaking pain and death.
They were kissing.
"......"
Cheng Jia really liked the churches in London; they were creamy white and looked very cool.
He stood under the sky and had Shi Qingci take his picture.
The instant countless white doves took flight, Shi Qingci kissed him on the cheek. The camera captured that moment, and they had their first photo together.
I also met with Zhou Minghe.
Zhou Minghe was not surprised at all that the two were traveling together.
Finally, I managed to chat with Cheng Jia for a bit.
They talked about his marriage agreement with Tan Ying, which was difficult to fulfill.
In the hotel restaurant, the three of them sat down to eat dinner. The French baguette became hard to chew after it cooled down because of Zhou Minghe's nagging, so Cheng Jia used it as a teething toy.
"...It's just the three of us now, so let me speak frankly. Don't think I'm being long-winded, but it's really hard to explain," Zhou Minghe said, his stubble clearly indicating he hadn't been doing well lately. "Tan Ying said she has a boyfriend, and I'm starting to feel... "
Cheng Jia interrupted him: "Do you like her or not?"
"I don't know," Zhou Minghe stubbornly insisted.
Cheng Jia: "You just mentioned that in the senior year of high school, during graduation season, Tan Ying was very bothered by this matter in the classroom. What exactly did you do back then?"
"I didn't do anything!" Zhou Minghe covered his face, recounting the story in a mix of truth and lies. "Back then, it was almost graduation time, and a lot of people at school were confessing their feelings. Someone slipped me some chocolate on the way... I definitely didn't buy it! I don't like chocolate, so I took it into the classroom and casually shared it with Tan Ying and the others. Later, anyway, I misjudged the number of people in her group of girlfriends."
"When she got her share of the chocolate, there wasn't any left."
The last chocolate.
Tan Ying watched helplessly as it was given to her roommate.
The girl's heart is broken.
"......"
Cheng Jia: "?"
Shi Qingci: "You bought chocolates to confess your feelings to someone, but when you got to the person you wanted to confess to, the chocolates were all gone."
“Oh, I see.” Zhou Minghe knew this was stupid.
But he was just that stupid in high school.
Otherwise, would they have missed out on so many years with Tan Ying?
"Also, Tan Ying said she saw me kissing her roommate. Actually, I wasn't dating her roommate at that time. It was her roommate who confessed to me. I don't know what she was thinking, but she insisted that I was dating her roommate and that she wanted to date too. I got anxious and told her to date whoever she wanted."
"But a few days later, she got together with that guy who was into sports."
"But note the order of events! She accepted that guy's confession first, and then I... started dating her roommate."
"Anyway, it's just a series of coincidences. Over the years, when I was single, she had a boyfriend, and when I had a boyfriend, she was single again. We've been going on like this for eight or nine years."
"Now I've finally managed to get both sets of parents to agree."
"I arranged the marriage, but she absolutely refused to marry me."
"......"
Not only did she refuse to marry, but I also heard that Tan Ying found another boyfriend.
This has caused Zhou Minghe to be extremely anxious lately.
He was truly at his wit's end.
“I think,” Cheng Jia analyzed for him, “she probably still has some feelings for you, otherwise why would she come back to China? If she really didn’t want to marry you, she could have studied abroad for a few more years.”
Upon hearing about the marriage proposal, Tan Ying immediately abandoned her studies and rushed back to China.
Just to refuse to marry?
Isn't she trying to get Zhou Minghe to pursue her?
Zhou Minghe's expression was unnatural: "I'm not going to pursue her. Why should I? Besides, she already has a boyfriend. You can't force a relationship. I don't lack marriage partners."
"Okay, don't chase after them." Shi Qingci was getting annoyed.
He turned to Cheng Jia and said, "Have you eaten yet? I'll take you to the rooftop garden. If you see any flower arrangements you like, we'll order some and plant them in the townhouses of Fuhua Garden."
"Are we really not going to live in the western suburbs anymore?" Cheng Jia asked.
She stood up and Shi Qingci took her wrist.
The villa in the western suburbs was just sold by Zhou Minghe to Shi Qingci.
It hasn't even been half a year yet.
Shi Qingci glanced at Zhou Minghe: "He doesn't live in the western suburbs. His house is just bad luck. No wonder our love life has been so bumpy. It turns out he's the one who's bringing us bad luck. He's so proud of himself, no wonder he doesn't have a wife."
After saying that, he took Cheng Jia's hand and left.
Cheng Jia smiled and didn't say anything more.
"?" Zhou Minghe stared at the two of them with wide eyes.
Who's being accused of being overly concerned with saving face?
"......"
"......"
Zhou Minghe sat alone for a long time.
Finally, he picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Tan Ying.
Zhou Minghe: [I heard you found another boyfriend?]
Tan Ying: [Shut up]
Zhou Minghe: [To be honest, don't be so dramatic. What's wrong with marrying me? We grew up together, and our parents know each other. Don't go out and find someone random; those men are all unreliable.]
Tan Ying: [Shut up]
Zhou Minghe: [Look at the girls you dated before, they all cheated you out of money and your feelings. How could they be as reliable as me? I would never treat you badly after marriage. Think about it. I'm serious. I've also won over your parents. I begged them for days.]
Tan Ying: [I told you to shut up]
Zhou Minghe: [...]
Zhou Minghe: [I've liked you for many years, is that okay?]
Tan Ying: [Idiot]
Zhou Minghe: [What exactly do you mean? Are you going to marry me or not? I'll kneel down and kowtow to you, okay? Stop torturing me.]
Tan Ying: [Should I turn on the video? My boyfriend is about to kiss me.]
Zhou Minghe: "!"
"Holy shit, holy shit, Shi Qingci, President Shi!" Zhou Minghe grabbed his phone and ran outside to dial Shi Qingci's number. "I want to go back to China! I need to go back right now, where's the helicopter?"
Shi Qingci didn't say anything and hung up the phone.
Zhou Minghe: [If he kisses you once, I'll kiss you ten times! You're dead if you dare let him kiss you. Where are you now? I'm sending someone to find you first, wait for me!]
Tan Ying: [Boss Zhou, stop pretending, I'm Cheng Jia]
Tan Ying: [We are in the rooftop garden]
Tan Ying: [Ms. Tan is doing a floral art exhibition. Her phone has a screen mirroring feature, so everyone saw you say 'I like you,' including your dad.]
Everyone and everyone in the garden.
I saw it all.
"......"
"！！！！！！！"
Confessing one's feelings is something Zhou Minghe can't do.
He never wants to see anyone again in his life!
ah--!
