So Ms. Zhen has been promoting him like that outside.
Saying his orientation isn’t normal.
No wonder Chen Xixi’s expression turned odd when she saw Assistant Xu’s tie at his ho before.
Suddenly, his thoughts were pulled back to the day Ms. Zhen ca to see him, asking him to go on a blind date.
That day, in order to brush off Ms. Zhen, he casually ntioned he wasn’t interested in those won and asked her not to introduce him to any.
He said that only to mislead Ms. Zhen, to stop her from ddling in his love life.
But unexpectedly... the boorang ca back to hit him.
He said he has been so special to Chen Xixi, it’s unreasonable for her not to get his hint.
Turns out Chen Xixi did feel it, she just never considered him a normal man at all.
Now Chen Xixi is even trying to set him up with beauties, to help him switch back on the right track, and she was entrusted by Ms. Zhen.
All this developnt is beyond his expectation.
Zhou Jinyuan turned his head, his eyes landed on Chen Xixi’s face, and he suddenly laughed silently. The next second, he lowered his head to Chen Xixi’s ear and whispered, "Why don’t you give it a try yourself?"
The space in the elevator was already small, and there were workers carrying two large glass panels, squeezing them into a corner of the elevator. At this mont, their bodies touched shoulder to shoulder, very close to each other.
An ambiguous atmosphere began to faintly stir with the close proximity of the two and Zhou Jinyuan’s words.
Chen Xixi’s fingers trembled slightly, seemingly accidentally touching the back of the man’s hand.
She froze for a mont.
A faint blush rose on her ears.
Chen Xixi turned her head, looked at the man’s face, which was close at hand, and muttered, "Give it a try myself?"
"Mhm."
Chen Xixi gathered her thoughts and then replied seriously, "I am a decent person!"
She admitted Zhou Jinyuan was a bit handso... Alright, indeed very handso, but! She’s not just anyone!
If she took the initiative to test it out, and if it really did lead to feelings, it wouldn’t end well.
She can’t be so casual!
Zhou Jinyuan’s smile beca even more intense, "I’m very decent as well."
Who doesn’t date seriously?
Right after Zhou Jinyuan spoke, a "ding" sounded, they arrived at the 32nd floor.
The workers with the glass made way for them to exit.
Zhou Jinyuan extended his well-defined hand to hold the glass, letting Chen Xixi go first.
They walked out of the elevator, and just when the elevator doors were halfway closed, voices suddenly ca from inside: "These young people today really know how to play, coming to a hotel to book rooms together, and still claim to be decent folks."
"Ah, you don’t understand, isn’t it all the rage now? The role-playing, pretending not to know each other, that’s the spice in a young couple’s relationship! Which decent single n and won co to stay at a hotel together! Surely it’s a couple flirting and having fun!"
Zhou Jinyuan and Chen Xixi: "..."
Chen Xixi pretended to hear nothing and walked quickly forward.
Walking along, she felt sothing was off again.
She stopped, turned around to look at Zhou Jinyuan following behind her, and asked puzzledly, "You co to see on your way, and you also stay with in a hotel?"
The hotel where Chen Xixi stayed was arranged by the brand, just a luxurious large bed room in a standard chain hotel.
With Zhou Jinyuan’s status, shouldn’t he be staying in sothing like a VIP suite?
Zhou Jinyuan answered calmly, "There’s a hotel ready, couldn’t be bothered to fuss, and since you’re going back to Jiang City tomorrow, I’ll take you there on the way."
Chen Xixi felt increasingly uneasy, staring at Zhou Jinyuan, determined to get an answer today, she asked, "You still haven’t answered my question in the elevator."
Zhou Jinyuan looked at her, smiling, "More normal than you imagine."
Chen Xixi looked at Zhou Jinyuan in shock.
More normal than imagined!
That is to say, Zhou Jinyuan’s orientation is normal!
Then she really had to question the true purpose behind Zhou Jinyuan helping her ti and again, and the coincidental encounters.
Chen Xixi’s face was full of disbelief, and then she blurted out, "You... you’re not pursuing , are you?"
Thinking back, Zhou Jinyuan’s past unrequited help, even taking extra care of her, couldn’t just be because they knew each other since childhood, right?
Moreover, they hadn’t known each other since childhood for very long.
Strictly speaking, they couldn’t even count as childhood friends.
Zhou Jinyuan chuckled softly, then looked directly at Chen Xixi with an open expression and said frankly, "Yes, that’s right, I’m pursuing you."
He hadn’t planned on admitting it so soon.
He wanted to give Chen Xixi so ti, to take it slow.
But soone was already complaining that he was old, if he waited any longer, that soone might not want him anymore.
"!!!"
Chen Xixi was instantly stunned!
She hadn’t misheard, had she?
Zhou Jinyuan actually said he was pursuing her!
Chen Xixi’s eyes widened in disbelief and she asked, "Are you serious?"
Zhou Jinyuan, seeing her dazed and not quite reacting, found her sowhat adorable, and his eyes revealed a gentle smile as he nodded, "Yes, I’m serious, but you don’t have to feel pressured. If you don’t want to agree, I can wait."
"It’s a bit sudden..."
"I know, I will give you ti to adjust."
"Why did you admit it so quickly?"
She felt a bit taken aback.
Zhou Jinyuan sighed, pretending to be sad, and frowned slightly: "Your popularity is too high now, there are so many young idols in the entertainnt industry, what if one of them woos you away before ?"
His feelings had already been delayed for many years, so he didn’t want to wait any longer.
And it was because he had not recognized his own feelings earlier, along with the surrounding rumors and the fact that he had never been in love, naive and ignorant, which led him not to be firm enough in his heart and not directly pursue her, causing him to miss out on Chen Xixi for so long.
This ti, he wouldn’t make the sa mistake.
He wouldn’t assu that there really was sothing between Chen Xixi and Jiang Xingze just because of their scandal.
This ti he would be more direct, seizing the opportunity.
After all, not everything has a second chance to be strived for.
Chen Xixi nodded sowhat understandingly. Zhou Jinyuan must have been anxious because of her and Jiang Xingze’s scandal.
Chen Xixi showed a polite smile: "I’ll go back and think about it."
Then Chen Xixi quickly returned to her room.
Back in her room, lying on the soft bed, Chen Xixi recapitulated Zhou Jinyuan’s words.
Could Zhou Jinyuan really be serious about pursuing her?
But if it wasn’t serious, why would Zhou Jinyuan keep her childhood belongings, and even...
That day in Zhou Jinyuan’s study, she had accidentally seen a photo of her in her high school uniform in a drawer...
Which ans, Zhou Jinyuan had been following her for a long ti!!
And she hadn’t even noticed!
Could Zhou Jinyuan be so kind of creep?
Following her all her life!
If he truly wanted to pursue her, why didn’t he co and confess earlier?
If Zhou Jinyuan had confessed to her earlier, she could have joined an established company right after graduation and beco the boss’s wife!
Why suffer at Shengjin Group!
And the classmate who joined Zhongjing Group right after graduation wouldn’t dare to brag about finding a good job in front of her, and would even have to be obsequious and call her ’Madam Boss’!
Really... It’s all Zhou Jinyuan’s fault for not coming to take her away earlier, and only coming now!
But even if he ca earlier, it’s not certain whether it would have worked out!
Who knows whether Zhou Jinyuan is just playing around, or is he really serious?
She needs to think carefully.
