Chapter 400: Chapter 241: Would you like to co in and sit?_2
“I’m to bla, I was too nervous, and too impulsive…”
“Really, it doesn’t hurt,”
Chen Cheng lifted her chin, “How could I feel any pain when I see you?”
Their eyes t, and ng Wanning’s heart skipped a beat.
His gaze was so gentle, so focused, at this mont, in Chen Cheng’s eyes, there was only her.
“I’m embarrassed…”
ng Wanning shyly turned her head, but her body involuntarily leaned against Chen Cheng’s, her white canvas shoes shaking slightly, just like her mood at the mont.
“Next ti, let’s choose a place where no one is around.”
“Brother Cheng!”
ng Wanning was both annoyed and pleased, she snorted, “I’m going back now.”
Saying that, she stood up.
Chen Cheng grabbed her hand, “Go back where?”
“Back to the Kaiyang hotel!”
ng Wanning answered honestly, and half a second later, she realized and said with a smile, “Did you think I was going back to Beijing?”
Chen Cheng smiled, “I really thought you were going to leave alone here.”
“Hmph, I would never do that!”
ng Wanning lifted her chin proudly, “Once I’ve made a decision, it’s set!”
Chen Cheng stood up, “Okay then. But, don’t leave tonight.”
“I’m not leaving?”
ng Wanning beca nervous again, “Then where will I stay…”
Chen Cheng: “It’s too late, I can’t let you go back alone by taxi. Xiao Hai is also very tired these past few days. It’s tough for him to go back and forth.”
He looked at ng Wanning, “Co back to the hotel with .”
“Ah? Didn’t we just…”
Chen Cheng patted his forehead, “I an, co back to the hotel, I’ll get you a separate room.”
ng Wanning sighed with relief, she might be innocent, but she understood that sothing could happen.
But definitely not now.
“You probably haven’t been resting well lately in the county. When we get to the hotel, have a good bath.”
Chen Cheng walked back with ng Wanning, “If you need makeup remover, face masks or anything, I’ll get Manager Xu to buy them for you.”
“You just need to sleep well, tomorrow I will take you back to the county to collect your belongings.”
Chen Cheng’s domineering CEO-like statent made ng Wanning very reassured.
“I don’t have many belongings, just a few clothes over there.”
She quickly followed by Chen Cheng’s side, “I also don’t wear makeup usually, just face wash will do.”
Chen Cheng stopped walking, again lifting ng Wanning’s chin, looking at her slender, lightly made-up face, and laughed:
“You’re so beautiful without makeup, if you put makeup on, wouldn’t I be srized?”
ng Wanning’s cheeks instantly beca hot, she annoyed slapped away Chen Cheng’s hand, chastising coyly, “How can you say that about soone…”
…
…
Baoli Hotel.
Chen Cheng, holding the freshly issued room card, took ng Wanning to her room door.
“Here’s the card,” he said, “I am staying in the room opposite yours, call or ssage if you need anything.”
ng Wanning took the card with both hands, nodding slightly, “Okay.”
“Then… Brother Cheng, I’ll go inside now.”
“Go on.” Chen Cheng pocketed his hands, “Rest well.”
Tick-tock.
ng Wanning swiped the room card and before closing the door, left a small gap, looking at Chen Cheng who stood erect outside.
Chen Cheng noticed that ng Wanning hadn’t completely shut the door and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there sothing else?”
ng Wanning bit her lower lip, seemingly hesitant.
She peeked her head out, her gaze wavering, not daring to look directly into Chen Cheng’s eyes, and asked softly, “That… do you want to co in and sit?”
After saying this, ng Wanning’s cheeks reddened.
She really wanted to find a crack to crawl into. What was she thinking? Why did she invite him in?
Chen Cheng visibly paused for a mont, then deliberately took a couple of steps forward, “You said it.”
“Ah?!”
Hearing Chen Cheng’s words, ng Wanning quickly waved her hands, frantically explaining, “No, I didn’t an that!”
“Then what did you an?” Chen Cheng looked at her, his eyes brimming with amusent.
“My aning is…” ng Wanning stamred, unable to articulate her thoughts clearly.
Chen Cheng looked at her flustered appearance, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore.”
He gently said, “I’m also going back to my room now.”
“Okay!”
ng Wanning quickly closed the door, leaning against it, gasping for air.
The scene just now lingered in her mind for a long ti, making her unable to resist leaning on the door and peeping through the peephole at Chen Cheng as he opened the door opposite hers.
Until she saw the door across close, ng Wanning’s heart finally settled down.
She turned around, inserted the room card into the power switch, and when the suite’s lights turned on, she once again felt the care of Chen Cheng.
These past days, she had been staying in a standard room with her colleague, Zhang Zhang.
Of course, they weren’t staying at the luxurious Nanjiang Hotel where Chen Cheng not stayed but in an ordinary small inn in the county.
The room only had a musty sll, and in the cramped space were placed two single beds just 1.2 ters wide, even the nightstands bore marks of burnt cigarette butts.
And the bathroom, there’s no need to ntion how poor it was; the shower had a pitifully low water flow, and the water temperature fluctuated between hot and cold—it felt like undergoing a trial by fire.
What she found unbearable was the poor soundproofing of the room; she could hear everything clearly from the neighboring rooms: conversations, sound from TVs, and even snoring.
She hadn’t had a good sleep in a long ti.
And now, seeing this spacious, bright room, the soft, comfortable bed, and the bathroom with a faint scent of aromatherapy, ng Wanning felt an indescribable relaxation and comfort.
This was the life she was ant to have.
ng Wanning shook her head, throwing those chaotic thoughts to the back of her mind.
It was only as she took off her overcoat that she realized the coat that Chen Cheng had draped over her shoulders was still on her.
She carefully took it off, held it in her arms, tentatively slled it, and a blissful smile appeared on her face.
“Brother Cheng is so good to .”
ng Wanning mumbled to herself: “He doesn’t seem as stern as he looks.”
“But it seems everyone calls him Brother Cheng.”
“That’s not right, the senior sister calls him Xiao Cheng.”
“And Miss Wen, she calls him Mr. Chen.”
“What about …”
“Should I also think of a special na for him?”
A gentle affection appeared on ng Wanning’s face at the thought, and she couldn’t help but shiver.
“Oh my, ng Wanning, what are you thinking!”
She quickly shook her head, casting those ssy thoughts out of her mind.
“I can’t think about this anymore, I can’t…”
She patted her hot cheeks and forced herself to calm down.
“Better take a bath first…”
ng Wanning hung up Chen Cheng’s clothes properly and headed to the bathroom.
“Eh? There’s a bathtub!” ng Wanning excitedly rushed over, and then noticed the warm reminder on the bathtub, “Hot spring water is hot, be careful of scalding.”
“It’s even a hot spring!”
“Brother Cheng treats so well!”
She quickly ran the hot water, tested the water temperature, and then slowly stripped and relaxed into the massage bathtub.
The warm spring water embraced her body, dispelling all fatigue and chill, making her feel incredibly relaxed and comfortable.
She closed her eyes, and the image of Chen Cheng’s sharply defined face, as well as his gentle gaze and commanding tone once again appeared in her mind.
“You don’t have to face them…”
“You are you, you are ng Wanning…”
“Just be happy, leave everything else to …”
…
Phrase by phrase, sound by sound, they were imprinted in her mind like a brand, warming her heart.
She knew she had bet right.
This man was worth entrusting her life to.
…
anwhile, after Chen Cheng returned to his room, he wasn’t able imdiately to engage in work as usual.
His mind was filled with ng Wanning, her smile, her tears, each expression, each movent, as if they were scenes from a movie playing repeatedly in his head.
He had never thought he’d et her here.
Chen Cheng took out his phone, opened ng Wanning’s WeChat, thinking of sending a ssage, “She must be washing up, right?”
He unconsciously glanced toward the door.
Then he opened ng Wanning’s Monts, reflecting her personality, it was very clean.
Aside from a few photos of performances, there were just so snippets of daily life.
No heavily edited selfies, no fancy rhetoric, just real and straightforward records.
Chen Cheng, looking at it, couldn’t help but slightly smile.
He discovered he was growing fonder of this simple, kind-hearted girl.
Ding-dong—
A WeChat notification sound.
It was from ng Wanning.
“Brother Cheng, the hot spring water is warm. I really like it.”
Chen Cheng looked at the text on the screen, his lips curling into a smile, thought for a mont, and replied, “Good that you like it.”
“Good night.”
“There, there.”
