Chapter 262 Refusal
Jiang Jingcheng and Assistant Liu continued going shopping at the mall. Because of Assistant Lui’s tolerance and efforts, there was still happy atmosphere around them. What had happened before didn’t affect their moods.
They arrived at the women clothes area again. Assistant Liu suddenly spotted a dress and ran to it. She looked at Jiang Jingcheng excitedly and said, “Jingcheng, how do you think of this dress? I think it is quite good. How about you?”
Jiang Jingcheng looked at this foolish woman. Seeing her smiling face, he couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty. He didn’t know whether it was right to take advantage of Assistant Liu.
“Go and try it on. You won’t know whether it suits you until you have a try”, Jiang Jingcheng said gently.
Hearing Jiang Jingcheng’s voice, Assistant Liu felt that she was addicted to his voice. No matter how many times she heard it, she would not feel bored. She whispered with a smile, “Okay, I will. Jingcheng, wait a moment.”
Jiang Jingcheng stared at Assistant Liu’s figure when she left. It was difficult to figure out what he was thinking about from his dark eyes.
At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated, Jiang Jingcheng doubtfully wondered who would call him.
Jiang Jingcheng picked up the phone, and he compressed his lips when glancing at the name shown on the screen. He had a look at the fitting room where Assistant Liu was and hesitated for a moment. But then he firmly walked to the corner.
“Hi, Qian, what’s up? Do you have something to say?” Jiang Jingcheng said to the phone. Obviously, the person on the line was Chen Qian.
“What made you spend so long answering the phone? You keep me wait for so long.” Chen Qian said. Her tone of complaint made Jiang Jingcheng feel uncomfortable.
“I was not available just now. What’s up? What can I do for you?” Jiang Jingcheng controlled his inner discomfort and asked.
“Jingcheng, Uh-huh, I just want to know how everything is going on. Yichen has ignored me for a few days. He always said that he was busy. How come there are so many things in the company?” Chen Qian asked with a little sob.
Hearing Chen Qian’s voice, Jiang Jingcheng felt a little upset. But after all, Chen Qian was his sweetheart, so he comforted her and said, “Mo Yichen is in charge of such a big company that it is normal for him to keep busy. Maybe he is indeed busy these days.”
Chen Qian gritted her teeth and then said, “But, I heard that today Yichen even accompanied Gu Yan, that bitch, to go shopping. Didn’t he say he was busy? He didn’t have time to give me a call, but why did he have time to go shopping with that bitch?”
To be honest, Jiang Jingcheng did feel uncomfortable when hearing Chen Qian speak of Gu Yan and gnash her teeth. After contacting with Gu Yan in these days, he found that Gu Yan was not the same kind of woman as described by Chen Qian, the one who would play hard to seduce Mo Yichen and would defame Chen Qian in the presence of Mo Yichen.
Jiang Jingcheng weighed his tone and said, “Qian, is there any misunderstanding between you and Gu Yan? I don’t feel that Gu Yan is that kind of bitch as you said before!”
Hearing Jiang Jingcheng’s words, Chen Qian felt embarrassed. However, the feeling was controlled soon. And then Jiang Jingcheng heard a cry coming from the other line. Then Chen Qian said brokenly, “Jingcheng, I, I didn’t expect that you should suspect me. Boohoo.”
Hearing Chen Qian’s cry, Jiang Jingcheng felt sad in his heart. He thought whether it was overdone. And then he comforted her softly, “Qian, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t say like that, but I didn’t suspect you. I just told you my intuitive feeling and didn’t have other meanings.”
Chen Qian cried for a while and then said to Jiang Jingcheng, “Jingcheng, I will really have no other ways if you don’t help me this time. I feel that I will rather die if I lose Yichen. Could you help me for the last time? Please? The last time.”
On the other end of the line, the voice of the woman became hoarser. She was crying sadly and spoke brokenly.
This was the first time that Chen Qian had begged him. In his eyes, she was such a condescending woman and poured scorn on everything. At present, she had to sacrifice her dignity for a man, which was not her character.
Love made people be crazy. You would play hard for the one you loved.
“Chen Qian, actually I have no choice. Gu Yan is sincere to Mo Yichen. I don’t know how to get close to her. Seemingly, she is kind to me and doesn’t repel me. But after all, the woman who loses her heart to someone has an inexplicable resistance to all the men.” Jiang Jingcheng said.
“I have done all the things that I should do and that I should think of. However, there isn’t any progress. I am indeed unwilling to stay in this small company.” Jiang Jingcheng added.
In the voice of Jiang Jingcheng was filled with a firm and determined attitude, which made Chen Qian feel a little surprise. Didn’t this man always love her silently and always follow her advice? How came that he suddenly went back on his word when it was a crucial time now?
“Just do me a favor again. It is difficult for you to help me just once since we have known each other for so many years, isn’t it?” Chen Qian said.
Her tone was appealing. She just like a frustrated little princess.
“Uh-huh…” Jiang Jingcheng sighed and got into a dilemma. He knew that if Chen Qian knew he didn’t want to help her again because of Assistant Liu, she would find ways against Assistant Liu. At that time, it was predicted that nobody could help Assistant Liu! Not only would Assistant Liu suffer from physical torture, but also she would endure the pain out of being lovelorn.
Yet, how could he be indifferent to Chen Qian, for whom he had deep feelings for years? He was in an extreme dilemma, not knowing how to make a decision.
“Look, Jingcheng, isn’t this dress especially nice? I am quite comfortable when seeing it.”
Assistant Liu came out from the fitting room trotting to Jiang Jingcheng and shouting. She was too excited to ignore that Jiang Jingcheng was on the line. Seeing Jiang Jingcheng’s gesture showing not to speak, she shut up at once. Then she ran back to the mirror, swinging from side to side in front of the mirror. Her face lit up with happy.
“Who’s it? Whom were you talking to just now?”
The woman on the other line asked urgently. It seemed that she was jealous and there was a hint of complaint in her words.
“Nothing. A female colleague in the company asked me whether the dress on the net that she took a fancy to was beautiful.” Jiang Jingcheng explained casually while glancing at Assistant Liu over there.
“Really?”
“I will hang up if you don’t have something special. I still need to deal with some urgent things. I will call you back when I am available.” Jiang Jingcheng hanged up hastily and then felt relieved. It was a close call just now, but fortunately he had a sharp mind.
“Something must have happened, which made him refuse me. I must find a way to make my plan continue.” Chen Qian thought. She looked out of the window on the balcony, thinking about the plan to save the crisis.
