I Love Contract Couples So Much Chapter 35
byChapter 35 A prophecy and an ominous premonition
On the way back to her work station, although Cheng Yuxin tried her best to keep a low profile, she was discovered by her colleagues.Some didn’t show any surprise or curiosity, they just took a look and then lowered their heads and continued doing their own thing.Some, like the little girl at the front desk, smiled meaningfully.But no matter what kind of expression, they are friendly and gentle.
So even though it was difficult to avoid the attention of colleagues, Cheng Yuxin did not feel any embarrassment or embarrassment because of these looks.
After returning to her workstation, Cheng Yuxin placed the exaggerated bouquet of roses on a free space on her desk.He picked up the card hidden among the flowers and browsed it carefully.
“Thank you for your help and live up to your trust.”
Well, this wording and tone are basically a gift from a certain partner.
But which one will it be?Cheng Yuxin had no clue, so she simply gave up the struggle and turned around and devoted herself to work.
Jiang Chen received an appointment call from his counterpart early in the morning. The vice president in charge of research and development had returned from a business trip and wanted to further discuss cooperation matters with Jiang Chen.Ask Jiang Chen when he has time.
When Jiang Chen heard that he was the leader in charge of research and development, he immediately became excited and said that he could do it anytime.So the two parties agreed to meet in the reception room at ten o’clock in the morning.
Before the meeting, Jiang Chen deliberately took out yesterday’s notes and reviewed them again, so during the meeting, Jiang Chen was particularly eloquent, orderly and sincere.It left a good first impression on the leader.
Moreover, the leaders are keenly aware that Chaosheng seems to pay particularly high attention to certain types of projects.
The leader thought about it for a while and discovered that these projects were all handled by the same supervisor.
The leader understood something and secretly decided to invite the supervisor to the welcome dinner.Having decided in this way, after finishing the main topic, he formally sent an invitation to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen had no reason to refuse.And after his observation, he thought that the other party must have seen his intention.It may be misinterpreted as Chaosheng’s intention, which is of course better.Jiang Chen responded with a smile.
On the way back to the temporary office, Jiang Chen saw that it was already lunch break, so he turned to the office area.Almost everyone in the office had gone out for lunch, but Cheng Yuxin was still there, with his head down and frowning, as if he had encountered some problem.Jiang Chen glanced at the dazzling rose bouquet on Cheng Yuxin’s table.
Jiang Chen was very happy and took out his mobile phone to send a WeChat message to Cheng Yuxin: Do you like it?
Cheng Yuxin’s cell phone on the table flashed.When Jiang Chen saw Cheng Yuxin pick up the phone, he must have read the content of the message clearly, and his expression changed from the seriousness he had at work to a slight confusion and surprise.
Jiang Chen: Look up.
Cheng Yuxin raised her head and saw Jiang Chen standing in front of the office door smiling happily.
Cheng Yuxin stood up directly, walked straight to Jiang Chen, and asked in a low voice: “What do you mean?”
Jiang Chen originally wanted to tell him directly that I want to chase you.I also thought, this is an office area after all, and it would be bad if someone heard me.Then he pulled the person to the emergency exit.
When the two of them stood still, Jiang Chen cleared his throat, with a serious expression and a solemn voice: “I want to chase you.”
Cheng Yuxin’s expression became more confused and her brows furrowed slightly.
“Don’t you believe it?” Jiang Chen was a little anxious and said quickly, “I’m serious!”
Cheng Yuxin shook his head and motioned for him to lower his voice: “Aren’t you coming to Qincheng to discuss official business this time?”
“Let’s talk about business during work hours, and talk about personal affairs after get off work.” Jiang Chen said confidently.
Cheng Yuxin took a look at her phone. Well, how could lunch break not be considered off-duty time?
“Do you need time to think about it? It’s okay, I can wait.” Jiang Chen said.
Cheng Yuxin nodded, then shook his head: “I feel like we are not suitable.”
“Yeah, you’re right,” Jiang Chen admitted frankly.”But I will work hard. I’m already looking at houses. Although I can’t afford a large flat, it’s enough for the two of us.”
Cheng Yuxin was amused by his words: “Where should we live? Licheng or Qincheng?”
“Of course it’s Qincheng. I can drive every day. I’ve tried it. It only takes two hours one way. I can do it.”
Jiang Chen had obviously already planned it, and couldn’t wait to tell what he had been planning for a long time.
Cheng Yuxin listened quietly, and after he finished speaking, he said: “Of course what you said is important, but I think other things are also important.”
“For example?” Jiang Chen asked anxiously.
“For example, you like me, what do you like?”
He thought that the other party would tell many reasons without hesitation, including appearance, personality, family background, abilities…
There are many reasons for liking it, no matter which one is the answer, it is reasonable.
But Jiang Chen remained silent.
Cheng Yuxin’s eyes became curious.
Jiang Chen looked at those eyes, and a faint smile gradually appeared on his face: “I like your eyes.”
When looking at me.
No matter how many times I see those eyes, even if only the peripheral vision is left to me.The hope of life was rekindled.
What has been missed, forgotten, and lost seems to have been repaid in these eyes.
Just looking at me like this is enough.
Cheng Yuxin narrowed his eyes, looking like a smile but not a smile.
The number of footsteps gradually increased in the corridor, breaking the eerie silence between the two.Lunch break is almost over.
Jiang Chen lowered his head in embarrassment and gently held Cheng Yuxin’s hand: “Sorry, it took up your lunch break. Let’s go eat.”
Cheng Yuxin did not refuse, and the two of them went downstairs directly from the emergency exit and had a simple lunch at a fast food restaurant near the company.
As soon as he went to work in the afternoon, Jiang Chen received an official invitation to the dinner party.Jiang Chen glanced at it and found that the time was confirmed to be seven o’clock on Friday evening, and today was Wednesday.Jiang Chen secretly thought about what kind of gifts he could prepare in two days.Turning the page with his fingers, the invitation actually came with a list of attendees. Jiang Chen saw Cheng Yuxin’s name at a glance.
Jiang Chen became happier and happier. I don’t know if it was for psychological reasons, but the afternoon passed extremely quickly.Just after five o’clock, Jiang Chen appeared in front of the office door.
Perhaps because her workstation was at the back, Cheng Yuxin left later than other colleagues.When I came out, there was almost no one else in the office.This was a good thing for Jiang Chen. He grabbed Cheng Yuxin’s arm and pulled him behind the fire door.
“Do you have any plans tonight? Do you want to go home to spend time with your parents?” Although there was no one in the corridor, Jiang Chen still lowered his voice in order to avoid unnecessary complications.
“Well, when I went out in the morning, my mother said she had something to tell me in the evening.” Cheng Yuxin nodded and said truthfully.
“Should I ask you to go on a blind date again?” Jiang Chen said.
“Probably not,” Cheng Yu thought. “Since I confessed to her, she has never mentioned the blind date again.”
“Maybe she was busy looking for same-sex blind dates for you and didn’t have time to tell you.” Although he didn’t have much contact with Cheng Yuxin’s mother, Jiang Chen still had a strong premonition.
“Probably not,” Cheng Yuxin said with a smile, “My mother is very conservative, and coming out is probably the most acceptable thing for her.”
“But you have to start a family after all. As long as you don’t bring your boyfriend home for a day, I don’t think your mother will give up.”
“No. She has looked away now.” Cheng Yuxin thought she knew her mother relatively well.In the past, I was always keen on spending a lot of time to introduce blind dates to myself. It was probably just because my father and I were not at home often and we were too bored.Now that his father has taken a back seat, he often chats and walks with his mother after get off work.Mother should not be the same as before.
“I hope so.” Seeing Cheng Yu’s determination, Jiang Chen swallowed what he wanted to say.Walking towards the parking lot with Cheng Yuxin.
Cheng Yuxin didn’t take Jiang Chen’s words to heart.After arriving home, I chatted and ate together with my parents as usual, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.At the dinner table, Father Cheng also proposed to take a border collie home in a few days.
The Cheng family has never had a pet before. On the one hand, Cheng’s father is busy with work and leaves early and comes home late. Cheng Yuxin also doesn’t stay at home for long due to her studies and work.On the other hand, Shen Panqiu is afraid.Shen Panqiu has a soft heart and a kind nature, but is afraid of all furry creatures.For this reason no one ever mentioned having pets.
When his father suddenly made such a suggestion, Cheng Yuxin subconsciously looked at his mother.But my mother smiled and said, “I agree.”
“Mom, aren’t you?” Cheng Yuxin reminded carefully.
“Well, I’m still scared. But Zhishun is at home, and with him around, I’m not afraid anymore. And I’m not in good health, so I can’t go out with Zhishun often. I have a pet, so I can spend more time with Zhishun.”
It turns out that my mother was thinking about my father.Since both parents had no objections, Cheng Yuxin certainly would not object, and the family happily reached an agreement.
After dinner, Cheng Yu remembered his mother’s instructions in the morning and went upstairs in no hurry.Sure enough, Shen Panqiu saw his son waiting for him, and hurriedly led him to the study room with a sneaky look, a bit like a guilty conscience.
Cheng Yu was puzzled, but still didn’t say anything.Quietly waiting for her mother to speak.
Shen Panqiu closed the door of the study room and made sure that no one was outside. Then he whispered: “Xiao Yu, tell the truth to your mother, how far you and that senior brother are now.”
?
Cheng Yuxin tilted his head in confusion, not understanding what his mother was saying.
“Didn’t the classmate who came to you before want to ask you to help my senior brother? Are you and that senior brother…” Shen Panqiu said while looking at his son with eager eyes, “Is there something going on?”
Cheng Yuxin finally understood. She couldn’t laugh or cry for a moment: “Mom, you misunderstood. Senior brother and I are not in any condition.”
“It’s come to this, don’t hide it from mom anymore, okay?”
“I really didn’t. My senior brother has been married for several years. When I met him, he already had a son and a daughter. Mom, why would you want to go there?” Cheng Yuxin said with a helpless smile.
“No,” although Shen Panqiu said this, he didn’t look too disappointed, “Since there is no situation with senior brother, then mother must tell her directly.”
Seeing her mother’s serious expression, Cheng Yuxin suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
Sure enough, Shen Panqiu continued: “I asked someone to help you introduce a blind date. He is a man who has returned from studying abroad. His academic qualifications and family background are no worse than yours. Do you have time to meet?”
