BXBX NOVEL Chapter 250 - Not being himself
“Don’t give me any more of these stuff. I’ll take care of myself.”
Gu Yan glanced at Jiang Jingcheng. She was relieved to see that he was not in mood swings. After all, being too close to a female boss was not good for a man’s reputation.
“Okay, I see. I’ll take everything into consideration when I do things in the future. Don’t worry.” Jiang Jingcheng lowered his head and said with great sincerity. Gu Yan just opened her mouth and intended to say something. After thinking for a moment, she finally didn’t say it.
“If there’s nothing else, go back to your work.”
Jiang Jingcheng didn’t speak anymore. He lowered his head and went out dispiritedly, as if he did something wrong. Seeing his sad expression, other employees dared not ask him any more questions.
During the days in Gu Yan’s studio, Jiang Jingcheng had to be very cautious everywhere. He felt that he lost himself and was so depressed that he was gonna explode. Every time he considered leaving, he would be persuaded to return back by Chen Qian. This was the most earth-shattering thing he had ever done for love in his life.
His mobile phone suddenly vibrated. Jiang Jingcheng recovered from the thrilling scene. He picked up the phone and found it was Chen Qian calling him. He hung up the phone and quickly put it into his pocket. Then he looked around, seeing that no one noticed him. He acted as if nothing happened.
Jiang Jingcheng let down his guard when he went to the stairs, where nobody came during office hours.
He took out phone and called back. A familiar voice came out, “How’s it going?”
Chen Qian’s harsh tone made Jiang Jingcheng a little angry. She should have showed some respect for him. After all, he was helping her. Or, at least some consideration. Such undisguised words were too much for him. He was very angry.
“You don’t care about me at all, do you? Is there any moment you take my feelings into consideration? Chen Qian, you know I’ve liked you for so many years. I will do everything for you. I don’t expect you to put me in your heart, but I hope at least I’m important for you.” Jiang Jingcheng said.
“All right, Jingcheng. I know you love me. It’s my fault. I’m in such a hurry. Please don’t be angry. When this matter is settled, I’ll invite you to dinner to apologize.” Chen Qian stopped asking questions. Her sweet voice softened Jiang Jingcheng’s heart instantly. Showing no resistance to Chen Qian was one of his weaknesses.
“Don’t worry. I’ve almost gained her trust and things have been almost done. You just stay home and wait for my good news.”
“There are too many people in the studio. You’d better not to call me during office hours, OK?”
All of a sudden, there was a slight cough, followed by a noise made by high heels. The noise was farther and faster.
“What’s that sound?” Chen Qian seemed to hear something and asked anxiously.
“I have to go. Call you later.” Jiang Jingcheng was in a panic all of a sudden. His plan just got a little progress, so he couldn’t bear to see it come to nothing. He ran after the woman, trying to find out who had heard his conversation with Chen Qian and how much she had heard.
Down by three or four floors, a mess of paper randomly lied on the floor. Obviously it was that woman who left those papers behind.
Jiang Jingcheng squatted down and picked up the paper. He carefully browsed the pages, and finally saw a signature on the last page. The documents belonged to Gu Yan’s assistant.
Jiang Jingcheng sneered. He already knew the assistant like him. He immediately had a plan.
When Jiang Jingcheng returned to the studio, he went to the assistant’s seat. The assistant had run back to her seat and looked at the computer screen with a heavy heart. She looked around prudently from time to time. Suddenly she saw Jiang Jingcheng, so she became a little nervous. She buried her head deep, trying to escape the eyes of Jiang Jingcheng.
“Don’t come to me!” The assistant was bending over her desk and her body kept shaking. The man she liked was deeply in love with another woman. Besides, he came to their studio with a purpose. The assistant felt she was cheated by Jiang Jingcheng’s appearance. He was different from the one she had in mind
“Ms. Liu, I have something to say to you. You must have misunderstood me just now.” Jiang Jingcheng patted the assistant on the back and said. His voice pierced her heart.
The assistant was blushed. She looked up at Jiang Jingcheng. He was good-looking and charming, just her type.
“This is the file you just dropped. Here you are. You’re so impatient. It’s not good for you. Calm down and figure out the truth. You misunderstand me.”
The assistant was puzzled. All of her previous speculation just vanished, and at that time she was more nervous and anxious. The man in front of her was looking at her and talking to her. She was enchanted by his gentle eyes and mouth and good smell.
“It was my ex-girlfriend who phoned me just now. She has recently been crossed in love again and drinks every day. She calls me a thousand times a day. I have no other ways but listen to her grumble. I wish you won’t tell anyone about it...”
“No, no. I will not. I will keep your secret. Believe me.” The assistant waved her hands with a smile, a faint blush spreading on her face.
“Good. Go on with what you’re doing.” Jiang Jingcheng winked at the assistant and left.
The assistant sat there in a daze. She was absorbed in a fantasy, imagining her future with the man.
She knew it. She could never be wrong. Jiang Jingcheng was still that gentle man. And he was still the Mr. Right in her heart. Besides, he seemed to notice her for he came to her just to explain this little thing. Did he adore her?
The face of the assistant became even more rosier...
