Chapter 52: The Labyrinth I Don't Want to Get Out of
"Didn't you catch Brother Chen now? Xianxian is satisfied. What do you want to drink?" Jiang Xiyan could only change the topic away from herself.
Just as he was talking, Nangong Ling had already brought up the brewed Longjing and handed them to Zheng Ruoxian and Chen Fangjian respectively. He had also seen the way Chen Fangjian looked at Jiang Xiyan just now, but he couldn't guard it like a villain because Chen Fangjian was not Wen Weichen.
After all, Chen Fangjian has a connection with Jiang Xiyan's family: "Mr. Chen, please forgive me for not being well-received during tea."
"Yes, thank you very much, President Nangong." Chen Fangjian responded politely.
Nangong Yue broke away from Jiang Xiyan's arms, ran to Zheng Ruoxian, and sat in her arms. This was the first aunt she had seen since returning to China, so she had a very deep impression on this aunt.
Four adults and one child were chatting in the living room. Chen Fangjian's eyes when looking at Jiang Xiyan were not as eager as when they first met. After all, Jiang Xiyan is happy now, and he, an outsider, should stop his longing for her.
Zheng Ruoxian teased Nangong Yue, and from time to time her eyes drifted towards Chen Fangjian. In this love game, she was in an extremely inferior position. She had a good family background, but she could not have a love of her own.
"You guys chat, I'll smoke a cigarette on the balcony." Chen Fangjian greeted everyone a little irritably and then walked directly to the balcony. He had never had the habit of smoking before, but for love, smoking has become his hobby.
Looking at Chen Fangjian leaving, that lonely figure seemed to have endless past memories. Jiang Xiyan still didn't understand his new habit, but she didn't ask. Maybe she should take some time to ask in person.
Chen Fangjian.
The sky outside turned dark, and the four of them drove two cars to the Marriott in the city center for dinner. This was the first time Jiang Xiyan had dinner with Zheng Ruoxian and Chen Fangjian since she returned to Dongcheng.
Zheng Ruoxian's drinking capacity is as good as five years ago, and she doesn't feel drunk after several drinks, but others can also feel her unhappiness today.
Nangong Ling left first after receiving a phone call. After all, such a dinner had nothing to do with him. Although Jiang Xiyan was his woman, many times, he was willing to let her have her own space in order not to affect them.
Reminiscing about old times, Nangong Yue also asked Du Zhibin to take him under his care.
"Xianxian, drink less. Drinking too much is bad for your stomach, and you haven't eaten a few mouthfuls of food." Jiang Xiyan finally couldn't bear Zheng Ruoxian's self-conscious drinking and harming her body.
Chen Fangjian on the side also stopped picking up the food in his hands. Seeing Zheng Ruoxian like this, he also hesitated. In the past few years together, he had given her nothing but loneliness: "Listen to Yanyan and drink less.
It’s not good for your health.”
Zheng Ruoxian smiled and did not put down the glass. She gave 100% of her feelings to Chen Fangjian, but this man didn't like her: "I have been so happy for a long time, and Yanyan happened to be here, so let me drink more."
Just two drinks, Brother Chen, you can just drive me off later."
Without persuading Zheng Ruoxian, Chen Fangjian gave up, got up and walked towards the bathroom.
After Zheng Ruoxian saw Chen Fangjian leaving, she took off all her masks and lay on the table in tears tiredly.
Jiang Xiyan stepped forward and hugged her thin body. This woman really went to a dead end for love, but no matter how difficult the road was, it was her own choice: "Why are you doing this?" I feel sorry for this woman who never gives up.
.
"I don't want to, but when love appears, it will make you lose your way. Yanyan, I think if I can be like you, as long as I am pregnant with Brother Chen's child, I will be willing to hide in the sky, but these days
Years ago, I put down all my dignity to please him, but he didn't even give me a French kiss. It's really rare for a woman to live like me." Zheng Ruoxian smiled bitterly, she knew her place and was lost.
The exit is right in front, but she is obsessed with the scene inside and is unwilling to take a step forward.
"Hey, this love is a sharp knife. Why are we, sisters, so miserable?" Jiang Xiyan also thought of Nie Tong, who settled in the villa yesterday.
Zheng Ruoxian smiled and raised her wine glass. She originally wanted to have a drink with Jiang Xiyan, but thinking of Nangong Ling's explanation before leaving, she had to give up and start drinking by herself. No matter how much Jiang Xiyan tried to persuade her, she could not persuade her.
Jiang Xiyan finally gave up trying to persuade her to drink. She looked at the time and saw that it had been twenty minutes. Chen Fangjian hadn't come back yet. Seeing that Zheng Ruoxian was about to get drunk, she had to go find this man first. At least someone would be there to see him off later.
Zheng Ruoxian goes home.
As I walked along the corridor, I didn't see Chen Fangjian except for the waiters coming and going. When I was about to give up, I suddenly saw the figure of a man standing in front of the window at the corner of the corridor.
Chen Fangjian held the cigarette butt in his hand. It had burned to the end, but he still held it in his hand and looked at Dongcheng in the night with lost eyes.
"Brother Chen..." Jiang Xiyan tried to shout softly.
When Chen Fangjian heard the familiar voice, he turned around suddenly and suddenly felt a burning sensation in his hands. He quickly stubbed out the burned cigarette butt and threw it into the ashtray next to him: "Oh... Yanyan, why are you here?"
Jiang Xiyan walked up to Chen Fangjian. This man still looked as handsome as he did five years ago, but his brows could not hide the vicissitudes of life: "Xianxian drank too much, I have to pick up Yue later."
Yue, please send her back first."
Chen Fangjian nodded and wanted to turn back to the restaurant, but he seemed to remember something and suddenly turned around and stood face to face with Jiang Xiyan. After a while, he said: "Will following Nangong Ling make you happy? Woman
Does your relationship mean that as long as you identify a man, you will stay by his side even if you die?"
Jiang Xiyan didn't know how to answer Chen Fangjian's question. She was still not sure whether she and Nangong Ling would grow old together. After all, Nie Tong was Nangong's wife. Although Nangong Ling said that she was his only wife,
But reality can give her some trust: "I don't know yet, but emotional matters are so delicate. If you fall in love, you will move forward stupidly, and you won't know how to look back until you hit the wall."
"Actually, the feelings of men and women are the same. Yanyan, let me hug you again, for the last time. Maybe this time I really hit the wall." Chen Fangjian said half-jokingly. He just wanted to smell it.
Smelling Jiang Xiyan's unique smell made him satisfied.
Jiang Xiyan was a little hesitant, but thought that there was actually nothing going on between the two of them. Maybe a hug was just a comfort to him. After all, the relationship between the two was not antagonistic because of their feelings.
Chen Fangjian stretched out his hands and waited. Finally, Jiang Xiyan smiled and put down all her body, stepped forward and hugged Chen Fangjian tightly. For Chen Fangjian, just five minutes were as long as a century. If time could stop,
