On the day of breaking off the engagement, I got married to my ex-uncle
Chapter 21 Stretched
Downstairs, Jiang Jinyu glanced at the closed door with a worried look on his face. The milk in his hand was already cold, but he was still drinking it mouthful by mouthful.
He knew Chu Xixi didn't remember, but he would always remember, and he would never forget, the first time he and Chu Xixi met...
"Bang bang bang!"
"Xixi? Are you awake?"
"Hickey?"
Seeing that the door was closed, Jiang Jinyu knocked twice again tentatively. The more he heard no answer, the more worried he became. Finally, he mustered up the courage to push open the door...
"Hickey?"
He was about to take two steps forward when he heard the crib shaking slightly, and then he saw the quilt on the crib piled up in a ball.
Jiang Jinyu smiled helplessly.
He walked to the bed and wanted to lift the quilt to wake her up, but when he lifted the quilt, he saw a large pool of saliva flowing out of the quilt...
"Hickey?"
As soon as Jiang Jinyu finished speaking, Chu Xixi stretched and crawled out from under the quilt.
"you……"
When Chu Xixi saw Jiang Jinyu, she screamed as if she had seen a ghost:
"Ahhh! Why are you in my house?!"
Chu Xixi yawned without even opening her eyes. As she hurried to the studio, she secretly complained to herself about the alarm on her phone, "Why can't I hear the alarm when it rings?" She rushed into the elevator, holding her shoes and wearing only a pair of unlaced sneakers.
The elevator door opened with a ding, and Chu Xixi ran out, narrowly avoiding the tea cart that just turned from the corner, and almost bumped into Cheng Yaoyao who was walking towards her with a proud look on her face. Cheng Yaoyao snorted coldly, "Hey, Chu Xixi, you're running so fast, are you late again?"
Chu Xixi curled her lips and replied unhappily: "Take care of yourself, Sister Yaoyao, don't worry about me."
"Hmph, don't try to play tricks on me. I think you're planning to show off your skills to Mr. Jiang again and curry favor with him?" Cheng Yaoyao glanced at Chu Xixi coldly with disdain.
Chu Xixi pretended not to hear and walked into the studio, heading for her design table without stopping. But when she turned around, she saw Jiang Jinyu sitting in the corner working hard. The sunlight shone on him through the window, and he frowned slightly. His focused look made him look more charming.
"Mr. Jiang, why are you here?" Chu Xixi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Jiang Jinyu glanced at her, pursed his lips slightly, but did not answer. His eyes quickly returned to the documents at hand, as if to say that now was not the time for small talk.
Chu Xixi was a little embarrassed. She knew Jiang Jinyu didn't like being disturbed while working, but she felt a little unwilling in her heart. She wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by him: "Chu Xi, stop talking, go and do your thing first."
Just like that, Jiang Jinyu ended the topic again. Chu Xixi bit her lip and thought, does he really just treat me as an ordinary subordinate?
She had to turn around and go back to her design table to start dealing with the backlog of work. The pen in her hand danced quickly on the design drawings. Although she had thousands of words to say to Jiang Jinyu, she could only bury them in her heart for the time being.
Unexpectedly, her phone suddenly vibrated, and a message came into view: "Emergency meeting will be held in the conference room in 30 minutes. All designers must attend on time."
Chu Xixi looked at the time and saw that there were less than 20 minutes left. She quickly sorted out her documents and prepared to go to the meeting room. When she stood up, she accidentally knocked over the water cup, and the water flowed down the table, soaking several important design drafts.
"Fuck, now it's over!" She was anxious to wipe it off, but she was thinking, is this going to end? How can this day continue?
Jiang Jinyu heard the noise, turned around, and his eyes fell on the busy Chu Xixi. Looking at her flustered appearance, a smile unconsciously appeared in the corner of his eyes.
Seeing this, Jiang Jinyu stood up and walked towards Chu Xixi quickly. When she saw him approaching, she lowered her head and tried to wipe the water off herself. But suddenly she felt a shadow covering her. It turned out that it was Jiang Jinyu standing in front of her.
"do not move."
He spoke softly, picked up a few design drafts, and began to wipe the water marks carefully. His fingers gently slid across the paper, and Chu Xixi's heart began to beat involuntarily.
"Thank you." After Jiang Jinyu put down the design draft, Chu Xixi said nervously in a low voice.
"It's just a small favor, no need to thank me." Jiang Jinyu's mouth curled up slightly, "But, Chu Xi, why are you always so careless?"
Chu Xixi smiled awkwardly, "I...I don't know either. I haven't been in a good state recently."
Jiang Jinyu nodded and looked at Chu Xixi, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
"If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me."
Chu Xixi's heart trembled slightly, and she didn't dare to look up at Jiang Jinyu. "It's okay, I'm really okay, maybe I'm a little tired."
Jiang Jinyu looked at Chu Xixi deeply. He noticed that she seemed to be distancing herself from him, and at the same time, he could sense her awkwardness in some subtle exchanges. He sighed and looked away, "Well, then, take care of yourself. If you still need to rest, go to sleep for a while."
He turned and left. Chu Xixi looked at his back, and the confusion in her heart seemed to become more and more complicated. She suddenly felt that she had become ridiculous, and she didn't even dare to say a word of truth. Ah, contradiction, contradiction, the moment she closed her eyes, she seemed to see her true heart.
After Chu Xixi entered Jiang Jinyu's villa, the servants respectfully asked her what she needed. She felt a little embarrassed. At first, she thought that these etiquettes were set up for her, but later she found out that they had mistaken her identity.
"Excuse me, is there a Ms. Cheng here?" Chu Xixi asked softly while flipping through the drawings in her hand.
"Miss Cheng? She should be upstairs. I'll go call her." The servant looked very enthusiastic, but unfortunately, this surprised her a little.
“No, no need.” Chu Xixi waved her hands hurriedly, “I can find it myself.”
The servant's smile gradually expanded in her sight, and she felt a little uncomfortable. After all this time, they were actually targeting Cheng Yaoyao, and she was so stupid that she was self-indulgent.
"Oh, so you're a newcomer." Chu Xixi couldn't help but purse her lips in self-mockery.
So she told the servant about her request to find someone, and the aunt smiled and agreed, "Madam, you can just call me Aunt Wang. How can I lead you?"
"And the master rarely comes home. He only came back last night. He probably won't come home today." Aunt Wang stared at Chu Xixi. "Why don't you go and see him?"
What does "young madam" mean, and what does "waiting for him at home" mean? Chu Xixi felt her heartbeat getting faster and faster. She waved her hands and said, "First... the gentleman just asked me to help him sort out the design draft. I... I'd better go find Miss Cheng quickly..."
Wang Ma looked at Chu Xixi's back and grinned. She had a great talent. "Okay, Miss Cheng, the young mistress is looking for you."
"I don't quite understand what you mean." Although Cheng Yaoyao knew that there were many suspicious points about herself, she still tried her best to make herself look innocent.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Let's talk about it when you understand." Jiang Jinyu didn't buy it. He looked straight at her. Cheng Yaoyao quickly lowered her head. She was panicked and at a loss.
"What on earth did I do?" She lowered her head in annoyance, looked at her fair hands, and sighed secretly, "Cheng Yaoyao, you are causing trouble for Mo'er, do you know that?"
"gentlemen!"
Before Cheng Yaoyao could get up, Jiang Jinyu pushed the door open and walked in. He walked quickly to Cheng Yaoyao, grabbed her wrist and walked out.
The servants were shocked when they saw this scene, "Sir, this is..."
But before he finished speaking, Jiang Jinyu turned back impatiently and said coldly: "Shut up, no one is allowed to disclose what happened today."
"Okay, sir."
Jiang Jinyu pulled Cheng Yaoyao and hurried downstairs. When they walked down the stairs, Cheng Yaoyao subconsciously tried to break free from his hand, but he held it even tighter.
"Let go, it hurts!"
"Shut up. If you keep making trouble, I'll have the bodyguards tie you up." Jiang Jinyu quickened his pace, and the two of them caught up with Chu Xi who was about to go out in the living room.
Chu Xixi saw Jiang Jinyu holding Cheng Yaoyao's hand and asked in confusion: "Mr. Jiang, may I ask you what you are doing..."
Jiang Jinyu walked up to Chu Xi and took a deep breath, "Come with me."
"I don't need to go." Cheng Yaoyao tried to break free, but Jiang Jinyu glared at her and said, "Be obedient."
So, Chu Xixi followed the two of them, but Jiang Jinyu suddenly stopped. Chu Xixi hurriedly braked, but in an instant, she bumped into someone.
"Are you okay?" A gentle voice sounded in his ears. Chu Xi raised his head and met Wen Yuanmo's deep and pure eyes.
Chu Xixi's heartbeat throbbed in her chest, and those deep and pure eyes made her forget to breathe. Xu Yuanmo's appearance was always so sudden, like a gust of wind that came unexpectedly, catching people off guard.
"Are you okay?" His voice was soft, with a reassuring charm.
Chu Xixi nodded slightly, getting rid of Jiang Jinyu's control, her eyes suddenly became firm: "Mr. Jiang, I have something to discuss with Mr. Xu, you see..."
Jiang Jinyu frowned slightly, and his eyes turned to Xu Yuanmo. An invisible confrontation spread between the two. Cheng Yaoyao rubbed her fingers nervously, fearing that she would become a victim of jealousy between the two men.
"No problem, I'll accompany you." Xu Yuanmo answered lightly, as if all the troubles had nothing to do with him.
Chu Xixi walked beside Xu Yuanmo, secretly feeling lucky. Ever since the day of the broken engagement, her life had been like a roller coaster, constantly going up and down, but now, it seemed to have found a trace of stability.
"Mr. Xu, you..." Chu Xixi stopped talking suddenly because she found that Xu Yuanmo was taking her towards an unfamiliar direction.
"Where are we going?" There was a hint of confusion and uneasiness in her voice.
Xu Yuanmo stopped, turned around and looked at her quietly, with indescribable tenderness in the depths of his eyes: "Trust me, I will take you to a place."
Chu Xixi's face showed some trepidation. He always made her excited and frightened at this moment. But she knew that although Xu Yuanmo was mysterious, he had never let her down.
"This..." She wanted to ask again, but was gently interrupted by Xu Yuanmo.
"Don't ask, just follow me. You will like it." Xu Yuanmo said, holding her hand and leading her straight out.
Chu Xixi's body stiffened, but she didn't struggle in the end, letting him lead her hand. She had never seen Xu Yuanmo so determined, and that kind of guidance seemed to herald the beginning of an adventure.
They walked through the magnificent hall and the long corridor. Chu Xixi could only follow Xu Yuanmo's steps in her ethereal thoughts. Until they stood in front of a closed door, Xu Yuanmo let go of her hand and looked at her deeply.
"Are you ready?" His voice was low and full of temptation.
Chu Xixi nodded, her curiosity overwhelmed her confusion. However, just as Xu Yuanmo stretched out his hand to push the door open, Chu Xixi's cell phone suddenly rang. She took out her cell phone and saw that it was a call from the orphanage.
"Sorry, I have to take this." She said hastily, with a mixture of anticipation and worry. Xu Yuanmo nodded slightly, indicating that she was free to do as she pleased.
