Chapter 207: Reminder
Wen Lan once again brought the topic to Xie Yansheng, "I don't understand, why are they still sticking to me after they are divorced. At noon today, he suddenly came to Shangjing and said that he would take me back to Jiangcheng to watch the fireworks."
"That means I haven't slept enough!" Zhou Qiao sneered, "You can be careful, don't get a divorce and have a child!"
Wen Lan suddenly remembered that her aunt, who was supposed to come last week, still hasn't come, but she still said stiffly, "I've had contraceptive injections, so I won't get it."
"My cousin's first child slipped through the net with contraceptive injections!" Zhou Qiao chuckled, "Don't be careless about this, it's over when men lift their pants after they're done, and the saddest thing is us women!"
"Thanks for the reminder. Go to bed, it's not early." Wen Lan's words were stopped by Zhou Qiao.
"Lan Lan, give Lao Jiang another chance, right?"
Wen Lan adjusted to a comfortable sitting position, and pressed her free hand to her temple, "I may not be the right person to start a new relationship right now. Jiang Jingci is a good man, but I am not worthy."
"Do you care about the age difference, or don't you want to be a stepmother to a teenager?" Zhou Qiao changed the banter just now and became serious.
"They all care." Wen Lan told the truth, "Actually, I shouldn't have agreed to try to have a relationship with him today, so that he would be happy."
"I won't advise you. The age difference and children are true, but it is also true that Lao Jiang is a good man." Zhou Qiao hung up the phone.
This night, Wen Lan had a dream.
I saw Ji Minxin in a dream.
Ji Minxin stepped down from the hospital bed, stared at her directly, and didn't say a word.
She couldn't sleep at five o'clock in the morning, got up and washed up and sorted out the fabric samples that had been set for the past two days.
What feelings, marriage, all roll the edges!
She has already become a partner of TT men's wear, if she doesn't do a good job, she will lose all her money when the time comes, and she will really have half her life!
After eating the buffet breakfast at the hotel, Wen Lan simply packed up and prepared to meet a boss who made high-end clothing accessories.
Coming out of the elevator room, I met Jiang Jingci again.
The moment the two met their eyes, Jiang Jingci squeezed out a shallow smile, "Today, I am going to still be your full-time driver."
"No need, I've already booked the car." After she finished speaking, she walked out of the glass door of the hotel without making any stops.
When Jiang Jingci chased out, she had already gotten into a taxi.
The taxi was gone, Jiang Jingci's heart was uncomfortably blocked, and he suddenly had an urge to smoke.
He has never been in the habit of smoking, and when Yu Hui died, he had insomnia every night, and tried to use smoking for the first time to relieve his inner pain.
At first, half a pack a day, then one to two packs a day, and by the time Yu Hui passed away for a year, it had reached three packs a day.
It was only after a physical examination that he was found to have a two-millimetre lung nodule that he began to face up to his health problems.
Although Yu Hui is gone, Jiang Guan is still very young, and it only took him a month to quit smoking.
In the past nine years, even if the pressure on the business field is great and he misses Yu Hui until he can't sleep at night, he has no idea of smoking again.
But at this moment, he was tempted to smoke, feeling that only the pungency of nicotine could calm his restless heart.
In fact, Wen Lan was full of guilt for Jiang Jingci.
After getting into the taxi, she also glanced at Jiang Jingci from the front rearview mirror, and Jiang Jingci's tall and lonely figure made her sad.
But she had already done something wrong yesterday, and she couldn't leave any more illusions about Jiang Jingci today, and her mood quickly calmed down.
She met with two TT partners in the morning, ate a bowl of tomatoes and lo noodles at a noodle restaurant at noon, and went to the partner's exhibition hall after a short break.
At the end of the day, the harvest was full, and the work efficiency was twice as high as that of Jiang Jingci on the day when she accompanied her.
On the way back to the hotel by taxi, she reported to Zhou Qiao today's outstanding achievements in WeChat, Zhou Qiao may be busy, and only replied with a "good baby" emoji.
Now, she has overfulfilled the work tasks assigned by Zhou Qiao, and suddenly came up with the idea of returning to Jiangcheng.
checked it on her mobile phone, and there was a flight to Jiangcheng at half past ten in the evening, and she booked the ticket without even thinking about it.
The heat of Xie Yansheng's "car shock door" has almost disappeared, Xie Yansheng's own affairs are very busy, and the opening of TT's two studios is imminent, it's time for her to go back and do a big job at work!
To her surprise, Jiang Jingci was still waiting for her in the rest area on the first floor of the hotel.
Visually, Jiang Jingci has been waiting for a long time.
She pretended not to see it, lowered her head and crossed the rest area and went straight to the elevator room, Jiang Jingci chased after her: "Let's talk."
"I've made it clear what I need to say, there's nothing to talk about." This was the first time she had smelled smoke on Jiang Jingci's body, and she couldn't help frowning.
Jiang Jingci didn't say anything more, but one hand blocked the elevator entrance.
The two were deadlocked for two minutes, Wen Lan made a compromise and followed Jiang Jingci out of the hotel.
"You haven't eaten yet, are you, find a place to eat and talk?" Jiang Jingci was the first to speak.
Wen Lan kept a distance of one or two meters from him, "I've already eaten outside, you can talk about whatever you want."
Jiang Jingci's angular facial features were slightly stunned, and his voice was deep, "Wen Lan, I'm unwilling."
"Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, who doesn't have a hard time!" Jiang Jingci helped her many times, she didn't want to hurt Jiang Jingci, but she had to say ruthless words to make him die.
"I've had one time in my life that I've been devastated, and I don't want to have a second time." Jiang Jingci approached her, his eyes deepened a little, "Wen Lanβ"
As he spoke, Jiang Jingci was speechless.
She didn't expect Jiang Jingci to be more difficult than Xie Yansheng, and deliberately pointed out Jiang Jingci's shortcomings with a cold face, "The age difference and children are something I can't accept."
The corners of Jiang Jingci's mouth turned white, and he took out a cigarette from his pocket and bit it, falling into silence.
Wen Lan immediately had a feeling that he was winning, and continued to stick a knife in Jiang Jingci's heart: "Not to mention the age difference, it's not easy to be a single stepmother. I'm still young, I still have a lot of choices, and although I'm looking forward to love and marriage, Mr. Jiang still counts."
With a "snap", Jiang Jingci turned on the lighter and lit the cigarette, his eyebrows and eyes soaked in disappointment and despair.
After a short silence, Jiang Jingci said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, Wen Lan, it's me who doesn't have self-knowledge, and I have thoughts that shouldn't be there, so I disturbed me."
Wen Lan was stabbed by his humble words, but in order to make him die, he still put on a desperate appearance.
"Knowing that it bothered me, Mr. Jiang will stop doing meaningless entanglements in the future."
Jiang Jingci didn't say anything more, threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground and left.
Wen Lan stood in the north wind and let out a long breath.
