Chapter 207 Reminder
Wen Lan brought the topic to Xie Yansheng again, "I don't understand, why is he still clinging to me even though we're divorced. At noon today, he suddenly came to Shangjing and said he would take me back to Jiangcheng to watch the fireworks."
"That means he hasn't slept enough!" Zhou Qiao sneered, "You'd better be careful, don't get a child after the divorce!"
Wen Lan suddenly remembered that her period, which was supposed to come last week, hasn't come yet, but she still said stubbornly: "I've had contraceptive injections, I won't get it."
"My cousin's first child was a fish that slipped through the contraceptive injection!" Zhou Qiao chuckled, "Don't be careless about this matter, men are done with their pants after they have fun, and the most miserable are us women!"
"Thank you for reminding me. Go to bed, it's getting late." Wen Lan was stopped by Zhou Qiao after she finished speaking.
"Lanlan, give Lao Jiang another chance?"
Wen Lan adjusted her sitting position to be comfortable, freeing one hand to press her temple, "Maybe I'm really not suitable for a new relationship now. Jiang Jingci is a good man, but I'm not worthy of him."
"Do you care about the age difference, or do you not want to be a stepmother of a child in his teens?" Zhou Qiao changed her previous joke and became serious.
"I care about both." Wen Lan told the truth, "In fact, I shouldn't have agreed to try dating him today, which made him happy for nothing."
"I won't persuade you. The age difference and the child are real, but Lao Jiang is also a good man." Zhou Qiao hung up the phone.
That night, Wen Lan had a dream.
I saw Ji Minxin in the dream.
Ji Minxin walked down from the hospital bed, stared at her straight, and said nothing.
She couldn't sleep at five in the morning, so she got up, washed, and sorted out the fabric samples she had ordered in the past two days.
What about love, marriage, all rolled out!
She has become a partner of TT Men's Wear. If she doesn't work hard, she will lose everything and it will cost her half her life!
After having a buffet breakfast at the hotel, Wen Lan packed up and prepared to meet a boss who makes high-end clothing accessories.
When she came out of the elevator, she met Jiang Jingci again.
When their eyes met, Jiang Jingci forced a faint smile, "Today, I will continue to be your full-time driver."
"No need, I have already booked a car." After she finished speaking, she walked out of the glass door of the hotel without stopping.
When Jiang Jingci chased her out, she had already got into a taxi.
The taxi drove away, and Jiang Jingci felt uncomfortable in his heart, and suddenly he had an urge to smoke.
He had never had the habit of smoking. The year Yu Hui died, he suffered from insomnia every night, and tried to use smoking to relieve his inner pain for the first time.
At first, he smoked half a pack a day, then one to two packs a day, and one year after Yu Hui died, he had already smoked three packs a day.
He began to face his health problems only after he was found to have a two-millimeter lung nodule during the physical examination.
Although Yu Hui was gone, Jiang Guan was still very young, and it only took him one month to quit smoking.
For nine years, even if the pressure in the business world was great and he missed Yu Hui so much that he couldn't sleep at night, he never thought of smoking again.
But at this moment, he wanted to smoke, and felt that only the spiciness of nicotine could calm his restless heart.
In fact, Wen Lan was full of guilt towards Jiang Jingci.
After getting on the taxi, she also glanced at Jiang Jingci from the rearview mirror in front of her. Jiang Jingci's tall and lonely figure made her sad.
But she had done something wrong yesterday, and she couldn't leave Jiang Jingci with illusions today, and her mood soon calmed down.
She met two tt partners in a row in the morning, ate a bowl of tomato noodles in a noodle shop at noon, and took a short break and went to the partner's exhibition hall.
At the end of the day, she gained a lot, and her work efficiency was twice that of the day when Jiang Jingci accompanied her.
On the way back to the hotel in a taxi, she reported today's great achievements to Zhou Qiao on WeChat. Zhou Qiao might be busy, so she only replied with an emoji of "good baby".
Now, she has exceeded the work tasks assigned by Zhou Qiao, and suddenly she has the idea of returning to Jiangcheng.
After checking on her mobile phone, she found that there was a flight to Jiangcheng at 10:30 pm, and she booked the ticket without thinking.
The heat of the "car shock gate" with Xie Yansheng has almost subsided. Xie Yansheng is busy with his own things. TT's two studios are about to open. It's time for her to go back and work hard!
To her surprise, Jiang Jingci was still waiting for her in the lounge on the first floor of the hotel.
It seems that Jiang Jingci has been waiting for a long time.
She pretended not to see it, lowered her head and crossed the lounge and went straight to the elevator. Jiang Jingci chased her: "Let's talk."
"I have said everything I should say. There is nothing to talk about." This was the first time she smelled the smell of cigarettes on Jiang Jingci, and she couldn't help frowning.
Jiang Jingci didn't say anything, but one hand blocked the elevator entrance.
The two of them were in a stalemate for two minutes, and Wen Lan compromised and followed Jiang Jingci out of the hotel.
"Haven't you eaten yet? Let's find a place to eat and chat?" Jiang Jingci spoke first.
Wen Lan kept a distance of one or two meters from him, "I've already eaten outside, just say whatever you want to talk about."
Jiang Jingci's angular features were slightly annoyed, and his voice was deep, "Wen Lan, I'm not willing to accept it."
"Life is not satisfactory for eight out of ten times, who doesn't feel sad!" Jiang Jingci helped her many times, she didn't want to hurt Jiang Jingci, but she had to say cruel words to make him give up.
"I have already had a world-destroying sadness in my life, and I don't want it to happen again." Jiang Jingci approached her, his eyes deepened a little, "Wen Lan——"
As he spoke, Jiang Jingci was speechless.
She didn't expect Jiang Jingci to be more difficult than Xie Yansheng, and pointed out Jiang Jingci's shortcomings with a cold face, "I can never accept the age difference and the child."
Jiang Jingci's mouth turned pale, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and bit it, and fell silent.
Wen Lan immediately felt that he had won, and continued to stab Jiang Jingci in the heart: "Not to mention the age difference, it's not easy to be a stepmother. I'm still young and have a lot of choices. Although I look forward to love and marriage, I'd better forget it, Mr. Jiang."
With a "pop", Jiang Jingci turned on the lighter and lit the cigarette, his eyebrows were filled with disappointment and despair.
After a short silence, Jiang Jingci spoke hoarsely: "I'm sorry, Wen Lan, I didn't know myself and had thoughts that I shouldn't have. I'm sorry for disturbing you."
Wen Lan was hurt by his humble words, but in order to make him give up, she still pretended to be heartless.
"I know you've disturbed me. Mr. Jiang, please stop bothering me meaninglessly in the future."
Jiang Jingci said nothing more, threw the cigarette on the ground and left.
Wen Lan stood in the north wind and let out a long sigh.
