Chapter 1470 - 1470 Jing Hengran's Solicitousness

1470 Jing Hengrans Solicitousness

Chi Shuyan was stunned by the other partys sudden question, but she didnt think much of it. She nodded and said, Of course Im of age. Im a few months away from 20 years old.

Jing Hengrans eyes lit up when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his lips. So, Miss Chi is an adult. Thats good!

Chi Shuyan:

For one moment, Chi Shuyan didnt get the point. Could it be that the other party had always thought that she was a minor? Did she look that young?

Of course, it was only a pa.s.sing thought, and she didnt dwell on it. Not long after, the dishes were served. The two of them chatted and laughed at the table. Jing Hengran took the initiative to make conversation. He was quite enthusiastic and gallant. When he noticed what she liked to eat, he would immediately considerately place the dishes in front of her.

Chi Shuyan was a bit embarra.s.sed at first, but later thought that it was the mans subconscious demeanor she never imagined that he would take a liking to her. Chi Shuyans favorable impression of Jing Hengran increased at lunch, and she felt that he was really too gentlemanly; she didnt have a deeper impression of him beyond that.

After the meal and covering everything that needed to be discussed, it was time for her to leave.

The two left the restaurant. Jing Hengran said that he could send her back, but Chi Shuyan waved him off; for now, she still didnt want the Jing family to know where she lived.

Jing Hengran was a gentleman. He was enthusiastic and not overly solicitous, nor did he pursue the matter. His grasp of the situation was very good. Chi Shuyan felt quite at ease with him.

She hailed a taxi and was about to get in, when Jing Hengran suddenly placed his hand over her head and motioned for her to get in, protecting her head as much as possible so that it didnt b.u.mp into the top of the car.

Chi Shuyan, who was stupefied:

Jing Hengran suddenly said, Miss Chi, are we friends now?

Chi Shuyan subconsciously nodded.

Its rare for me to come to the capital and to make a friend. I hope we can meet more often in the future, but I also hope I wont be a bother to you! Jing Hengran said gently.

Chi Shuyan felt that the other partys words were a little odd and intimate, but she didnt think much of it. Since she was cooperating with the Jing family, she didnt want to be narrow-minded or create a conflict over such a small matter. It was hard to find a good partner and investor.

So far, Chi Shuyan was quite satisfied with Jing Hengrans tact and sincerity.

Of course, she only took his invitation as a courtesy and didnt think much of it. After all, he was the heir of the Jing family. How could he have so much time to meet up?

She could still tell that these were just polite words. Since the other party was being polite, it wouldnt be good if she didnt say something. Chi Shuyan immediately replied, Of course you wont be a bother. Its rare for Young Master Jing to come to the capital. Unfortunately, Im still a student. Im usually only free on the weekends or in the evening. Otherwise, I would do my part as a host to entertain Young Master Jing!

Its good that you say that, Miss Chi! The smile on Jing Hengrans face deepened, and his eyes revealed an inexplicable gentleness. He changed the subject and said, Ill look for you later, as long as its not an imposition!

Chi Shuyans right eyelid twitched violently, and she was lost for words.

Wait, they were just being polite just now. The other party probably didnt have that much time to meet her, right?

Chi Shuyan had a habit carried over from her past life. She was a bit of a loner and very much a shut-in. After meeting Qi Zhenbai, she had changed a lot, but that had to do with her lone wolf personality as for being a shut-in, she hadnt changed much in that regard.

If it didnt involve a close friend, she usually didnt like to go out unless it was a last resort or something important!

After the mans last sentence, Chi Shuyan felt that the probability of him asking her out was quite high. Thinking this, Chi Shuyan felt a little listless; she just wanted to roll around at home and sleep.

Fine, in the end, they were business partners. If the other party really didnt stand on ceremony, and suggested that they meet up, she felt that given their current cooperation, she still had to entertain him a few times. It was just sacrificing a weekend. She had also already said that they were friends. It would be too awkward and rude not to entertain him!

While Chi Shuyan was deep in thought, the driver turned her head and asked her where she was going. Chi Shuyan hurriedly came back to her senses. She was about to give her an address, when someone suddenly called out to her from not far away.

Chi Shuyans ears were sharper than an ordinary persons. She looked in the direction of the shout and saw Brother Feng waving at her and calling her name.

Chi Shuyan didnt expect to run into Brother Feng here. No longer in a hurry to leave, she got out of the car and apologized to the driver.

The driver was a middle-aged woman with a good temper. She didnt lose her temper at Chi Shuyan, but waited for her to get out of the car before driving away.

Shuyan, is it really you? I wasnt sure just now! Feng Yuanlin walked closer. When he saw Shuyan, a smile immediately appeared on his face. However, when he thought of how close she had looked with a strange man earlier, the smile disappeared. Although Zhenbai and Shuyan had broken up, he really couldnt see Shuyan becoming another mans wife or girlfriend.

If the man hadnt been so enthusiastic, Feng Yuanlin actually wouldnt have bothered Shuyan.

Brother Feng, why are you here? Whats the matter? Chi Shuyan asked in confusion.

Feng Yuanlin waved his hand and said that he was fine. He just asked if she had been in contact with Zhenbai recently.

Chi Shuyan also knew that Brother Feng was quite worried about the two of them, more so than about his own matters. Chi Shuyan was a bit embarra.s.sed. She didnt plan to lie to Brother Feng, so she said honestly, No! After a pause, she told Brother Feng not to worry about the two of them; they were both rational adults, not minors.

Seeing that the two of them still hadnt reconciled, Feng Yuanlin panicked and felt incomparably anxious. Zhenbai, this rascal, hadnt looked for Shuyan even once when he came back?

Did he still want this wife or not?

That was what Feng Yuanlin thought, but he didnt forget to put in a good word for Zhenbai. Zhenbai has probably been busy recently. Shuyan, dont think too much!

Chi Shuyan had nothing to say. Hehe, Haozi said that that man had been especially free recently! Especially free!!!

Chi Shuyan actually didnt think much of it, but when she got the vague sense that the other party wanted to keep his distance from her, she felt a little uncomfortable. Since he wanted to keep his distance, why had he been so enthusiastic at the village?

In fact, it was mainly because of their life and death experience in Dashan Village that Chi Shuyans att.i.tude toward Qi Zhenbai changed a lot and had even softened a little. She wasnt a pretentious person. When they had been fleeing Dashan Village, she had really been anxious, afraid and worried when she didnt see Qi Zhenbai. She had also been prepared for the worst. At most, she would die with him.

At that time, she finally understood her feelings for Qi Zhenbai, and wasnt as indifferent as before. She had thought about it all night on her first night home, and was completely aware that her feelings for Qi Zhenbai really couldnt be forgotten just because she said so. In the end, she decided to let nature take its course. If she was really soft-hearted and the two of them were sincere, they might be able to get back together!

It was just that she didnt expect the other party to suddenly keep his distance.

Fine!

Keeping their distance was fine. After thinking about it, she felt that the two of them probably didnt have a deep connection. She thought that she had worked hard in this relations.h.i.+p, cherished it, and tried to be soft-hearted. Since they werent fated, she would really forget it. She wouldnt have any regrets when she thought about this relations.h.i.+p in the future!

Chi Shuyan didnt want to talk about her relations.h.i.+p with Qi Zhenbai anymore, and changed the subject. Brother Feng, by the way, hows your cousin doing in the hospital now?
