“Young Master, it wasn’t easy for Miss ng’er to take the initiative to call you for afternoon tea. Why are you still so unhappy?” Chen Ming’s assistant asked.
“It’s not too late for to be happy after I figure out why ng’er asked for afternoon tea.” Chen Ming didn’t say it directly. His intuition told him that it wasn’t a good thing for Chen ng’er to look for him.
The place where Chen ng’er asked Chen Ming to have afternoon tea was not a hidden place. It was a coffee shop. Chen ng’er quite liked to eat their cake. It should be said that this was the only shop where Chen ng’er would buy cake from outside.
Elder Liu and Elder Qu, who knew that their granddaughter liked to eat the cake from this coffee shop, had once tried to poach the head baker from this coffee shop at a high price. Fortunately, Chen ng’er stopped them quickly.
Chen ng’er arrived earlier than Chen Ming. She ordered the coffee and cake that she often had and found a seat by the window.
Xu Lele and Qiu Jing called Chen ng’er early in the morning to ask how things were going. When they got the news from Chen ng’er that she had an appointnt with Chen Ming for afternoon tea today to discuss matters, the two of them imdiately beca excited.
On the phone, they shouted and asked Chen ng’er where she had arranged to et him.
Chen ng’er knew Xu Lele and Qiu Jing very well, how could she tell the two of them where she had arranged to et Chen Ming? If she told the two of them, it would be terrible.
“ng’er, you’ve been here for a long ti.” Just when Chen ng’er was looking out of the window and thinking about her two friends who had completely different personalities from her, Chen Ming sat opposite her.
“No, I just arrived not long ago. It’s been a long ti since I last ate the cake from this shop. I got greedy and ca a little early.” After Chen Ming confessed to her, Chen ng’er wanted to pretend that nothing had happened. However, the result was that she couldn’t do it. She really couldn’t do it.
She really couldn’t pretend that nothing had happened. As usual, she could get along with Chen Ming easily.
Chen Ming also quickly made Chen ng’er uncomfortable. Chen Ming couldn’t help but sigh in his heart and said to Chen ng’er, “ng’er, I really don’t want my confession to beco a burden for you. It will beco a barrier between the two of us.”
“I know. But, Chen Ming, I still can’t help but feel a little uncomfortable.” As she said that, Chen ng’er lowered her head and picked up the coffee cup. After drinking a mouthful of coffee, she raised her head again and looked at Chen Ming. “Chen Ming, I asked you out today because I have sothing to clarify with you.”
Chen Ming saw Chen ng’er’s serious expression, and the bad feeling in his heart grew stronger. “Go ahead.”
“I’m sorry about that. I can’t accept your confession. I’ve always treated you as my brother and as a friend.” Chen ng’er took a deep breath and mustered up her courage to say that.
Chen Ming had long been prepared for Chen ng’er’s rejection. However, even though he was ntally prepared, he still found it difficult to accept Chen ng’er’s rejection with his own ears. His heart had already shattered when Chen ng’er said her first words.
“Do I really not have a chance at all?” Chen Ming’s heart was in pain, but there was still a smile on his face. However, such a smile made Chen ng’er feel even more uncomfortable.
“I’m sorry.” She wanted to say a few words to comfort Chen Ming, but when she opened her mouth, she realized that other than being sorry, she couldn’t say anything else.
“Don’t say sorry. In this kind of thing, no one is right or wrong.” The last thing Chen Ming wanted to hear from Chen ng’er was the word ‘sorry’. “Can you tell , did you reject because of Yuwen Jing?”
Although Chen Ming knew that there was no possibility between him and Chen ng’er, and Chen ng’er had already clearly rejected him, he still couldn’t help but ask this question. Because he was still unwilling to accept it.
“No. It’s not because of anyone, but because of myself. I’ve always treated you as my brother and friend. I have never thought about the two of us being a couple,” Chen ng’er said honestly.
“Then why is it possible for Yuwen Jing?” Chen Ming still asked with so reluctance.
“Why is it possible for Yuwen Jing?” Chen ng’er heard Chen Ming ask this question, but she didn’t answer imdiately. She was imrsed in her own thoughts. She also asked herself, why was it not possible for others?
However, Chen ng’er thought for a long ti, but she couldn’t think of an answer that was good enough. “I don’t know either. I don’t know why only he can do it.”
In fact, there were many tis when emotional matters could not be explained. When it ca, it ca. There were not so many reasons.
“ng’er, do I really have no chance at all? You don’t have to answer so urgently. Give an answer. You can go back and think about it again.” Chen Ming still did not give up, he did not want to accept his fate. He still wanted to fight for a chance for himself.
“Chen Ming, I’ve thought it through very clearly. It’s impossible for to be with you. Yesterday, after you confessed to , I thought that if I rejected you, we wouldn’t even be friends anymore. And I’ve never thought about what would happen if I were to be with you.” When Chen ng’er spoke, she couldn’t bear to et Chen Ming’s eyes.
If it was soone else who confessed to her, Chen ng’er would definitely reject them cleanly and decisively. However, this person was Chen Ming. She couldn’t be so ruthless.
Because of Chen ng’er’s words, the scene suddenly fell into a dead silence. Chen ng’er lowered her head and drank her coffee. She didn’t dare look up at Chen Ming. She didn’t want to see the unconcealable sadness in Chen Ming’s eyes.
“ng’er, why are you here?” Just when Chen ng’er didn’t know how to end the situation, Yuwen Jing’s voice rang in her ears.
She looked up and saw that Yuwen Jing was already standing in front of her. “Chen Ming, you’re here too.”
“Yes. What a coincidence.” The corners of Chen Ming’s mouth twitched, but in the end, he gave up on smiling. In front of Yuwen Jing, the winner, Chen Ming really could not smile. “I really didn’t expect to et a busy person like you in this coffee shop.”
“I also didn’t expect to et the young master of the Wharton family here. Oh right, ng’er, I bought your favorite cake for you. I originally wanted to send it to the Green Gang, but I didn’t expect to et you here.”
