Chapter 17(1/4)
Chen Jingyan sat in the huge office, and his uneasiness grew bigger and bigger. He took out a handful of medicine expressionlessly, swallowed it all without frowning. After drinking water and taking it, his health seemed to be getting better and he didn't feel panic anymore.
However, this "better" lasted for a while and then began to feel uncomfortable again. He lowered the documents with a pale face, leaned against the boss's chair and closed his eyes to rest. After a while, he got better, and then picked up his phone and sent a text message to Shili: What are you doing?
Shi Li was on the way to the airport. When he saw his news, he felt a little sad. He thought about it and replied: I was shy.
Chen Jingyan was speechless for a moment: When did your face become so thin?
Shi Li was so nervous that his hands were shaking: it wasn't that thin, but I just couldn't adapt. When I adjust it today, I won't be shy anymore.
Chen Jingyan curled the corner of his lips: Actually, I thought about it for a moment. Instead of letting you adjust yourself, I might as well help you.
Shili replied: How to help?
Chen Jingyan's smile expanded, but his face was serious: he would always adapt to it if he did it a few more times.
Shi Li only replied to him a string of ellipsis this time, and then replied with a seemingly angry sentence: Don’t send me a message again! I won’t reply!
Chen Jingyan lowered his eyes, smiled for a while, shook his head, and obediently put his phone on the table. The housekeeper came to deliver information to him. He happened to see this scene. After a moment of silence, he said comfortingly: "You look really happy."
"Is there any?" Chen Jingyan's expression tensed up again.
The housekeeper nodded: "Yes, I have been following the husband for a long time. I have never seen you laugh like this. If you keep this mood, I believe your body will be healed soon. All of this is the credit of Miss Shi."
"She? I won't accept her affection. She is the worst person. She is cruel and ruthless when bullying people. She doesn't look like her usual appearance," Chen Jingyan said lightly. She seemed to complain, but her voice seemed to be mixed with honey. Every word sounds sweet. "What she should do now is to make me feel so good every day."
"Then you have to be nice to her too. Girls should be favored so that they can stay by your side willingly." Although the housekeeper knew his fault with his words, he couldn't help but worry when he heard his words.
Chen Jingyan glanced at him: "Of course I will be nice to her."
"How are you going to treat her well?" The housekeeper was not very relieved of him.
Chen Jingyan pondered for a moment: "I am already hers, and there seems to be nothing else to give to her... How about giving the Shen family to her?"
"What does it mean?" The housekeeper didn't understand. Mr. Chen meant to let Miss Shi be the hostess of the Shen family?
Chen Jingyan said slowly: "You sort out my equity and private property, and I want to change it to her name."
"...You don't have to be so extreme, right?" The butler was stunned. He never thought that Chen Jingyan was so romantic.
Chen Jingyan lowered his eyes: "Give it all to her."
"Yes, even if Miss Shi gets it, she becomes the owner of all the property of the Shen family... She won't care." The housekeeper understood the impulse of the young man trying to give him everything when he was in love, but he still felt it was too risky, so he reminded him tactfully.
Chen Jingyan's face was calm, as if he didn't think it was a big deal: "I'm here."
"...This matter is too big, you should consider it again and discuss it with Miss Shi." The housekeeper was afraid that the more he persuaded him, the more he wanted to send all the things out, so he didn't dare to persuade him anymore. He put down the information and left in a hurry.
Chen Jingyan took the information, looked through two pages and sent a text message to Shili: Do you want it if you give you a gift?
Shi Li was checking in and trembled after seeing the message. Although he had said that he would not reply again, he really didn't reply. He was afraid that Chen Jingyan would be suspicious, so he could only bite the bullet and ask: What gift?
Chen Jingyan thought for a while: a very expensive gift.
Shili wonders: What exactly is it?
As soon as she finished replying, Chen Jingyan's phone call came. This time she was really scared and hung up the phone with a trembling finger.
Chen Jingyan's text message came in an instant: Why hang up the phone?
Shi Li hurried into the waiting room and ran to the corner to reply: Didn’t I let me be alone? Why do you still call me!
Chen Jingyan: I want to give you a gift.
Shili:... Just bring it to me tonight.
Chen Jingyan thought about it and felt that he couldn't explain it clearly on the phone. Moreover, she would refuse it very much. It would be better to threaten and induce her to accept it after going home. In fact, he knew in his heart that Shili might not like this gift, but this gift would definitely become a powerful insurance that can tie her to her side all the time.
fine.
Chen Jingyan's lips had a curve that was not obvious at all, and he decided to find a way to let her take it away at night. He put down his phone and wanted to try to get into work, but for some reason, he couldn't help but distract himself and recalled the wonderful night between the two.
As he thought about it, his body reacted. Chen Jingyan was speechless for a moment, his brows frowned because he was too useless, but there was another emotion in the corners of his eyes and lips.
The discomfort in the body came again, and Chen Jingyan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. He endured the discomfort and picked up his cell phone, trying to divert his attention by chatting with Shili: What are you going to eat at noon?
This time, Shili did not reply in seconds, or even responded. Chen Jingyan sent her two more messages. Seeing that she never replied, she thought she was asleep, so she did not bother her again.
At noon, the housekeeper came to deliver the meal. When he saw Chen Jingyan, he was stunned: "Mr. Chen, you have a bad face. Do you need to go to the hospital?"
"No, I've taken the medicine." Chen Jingyan asked someone to bring in a glass of ice water, and after taking a few sips, he felt more comfortable.
The butler looked at him worriedly: "Then you have dinner first. If you are still uncomfortable in the afternoon, go home to rest early."
Chen Jingyan really wanted to go home. He didn't object when he heard the butler's words. He calmly sat down at the table and started eating slowly.
Shi Li was already on the plane, and her phone was turned off half an hour ago. She had been very hungry since the morning, but she had no appetite when facing the snacks sent by the flight attendants.
The journey went so smoothly, which made her feel so smooth that she was so nervous, especially after turning off her phone, she was always worried that Chen Jingyan would send her messages, and she was so worried that she couldn't even sit steadily.
Chen Jingyan held his cell phone all the way while eating, but he didn't see Shili send a text message until he finished the meal. When it was a little while, he finally couldn't help calling Shili.
The phone rang twice, followed by a cold female voice, prompting the other party's phone to be turned off. Chen Jingyan frowned and stared at the phone and fell into deep thought. Shi Li was used to turning off the phone when she was sleeping, and he knew that she usually liked to eat enough before going to bed. For this reason, he also said that she had said several times.
Why did he suddenly become so abnormal today? Is he sick? As soon as this thought came up, Chen Jingyan couldn't sit still and called the servant who was responsible for taking care of his daily life.
The phone was quickly answered, and he asked lightly: "Have you had lunch in Shili?"
"No, the door of your bedroom has been closed, and Miss Shi has not come out yet." A female voice replied.
Chen Jingyan frowned: "She may have overslept, so she will ask her to get up and have a meal."
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
After the other party said that, he was about to knock on the door. Chen Jingyan added: "Don't hang up the phone, and give her the phone when she gets up."
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps came from his phone. Chen Jingyan frowned and listened, and the knocking sounded quickly. He waited patiently on the phone for a while. Seeing that the servant couldn't open the door, he couldn't help saying, "She's sleeping heavily. Go and get the spare key and go in and see the situation."
"OK."
The servant went to find the spare key and entered the room smoothly. However, when she saw the flat big bed, she couldn't help but say "Huh".
Chen Jingyan immediately asked: "What's wrong?"
"Shi, Miss Shi is not in the room," the servant's voice was full of confusion, accompanied by footsteps. "There is no one in the bathroom and the cloakroom, but I haven't seen her go out before?"
Chen Jingyan frowned: "You go to her previous room to look for it, and then go to the new house to check it out."
The servant responded and was about to pass. Chen Jingyan's breathing suddenly became a little unsmooth. He barely supported his body and said with a white face: "You are too slow to look for it by yourself. If you find it, please call me back."
After the other party agreed, Chen Jingyan put down his cell phone, closed his eyes and tried to breathe smoothly. However, as soon as he thought of Shili, his emotions became tense and his breathing became increasingly unstable.
His head was slightly raised, revealing his uneasy Adam's apple, and his jaw was sharp and fragile. His whole body was like a flower that bloomed to the extreme, and there was danger of withering at any time.
When the suffocation was about to overwhelm him, the phone finally rang again. His eyes suddenly opened. After seeing that the caller ID was the servant's name, his heart suddenly began to hurt -
If she is still at home, then she should be the one who calls him at this moment.
...Not necessarily. Maybe she didn't bring her cell phone and was anxious to reply to him, so she used someone else's cell phone? Chen Jingyan held this faint hope and trembled to answer the phone.
The final result was destined to disappoint him. Not only did the servant answer the phone, but he also brought him a fatal news: "Mr. Chen, we have all found it, Miss Shi is not here."
"...There is only one door at home that can go out. Check the surveillance to see if she has left." Chen Jingyan's voice was hoarse. After saying that, he hung up the phone, endured the gradually spreading discomfort and walked out with great strides. When passing by the butler and others, he threw all their anxious greetings behind him and drove to the house alone.
On the way, he kept calling Shi Li, and the other party was turned off. Until he was about to get home, the phone was no longer a mechanical female voice, but a continuous beeping sound.
Chen Jingyan suddenly braked and stopped by the roadside and waited for Li to answer the phone. Every sound on his phone was like a hammer, hitting his heart one by one, making his body, which was originally like a piece of paper, even more riddled with holes.
When the phone rang for the last time, it was suddenly hung up. Chen Jingyan's fingers holding the steering wheel tightened suddenly, and he fell into darkness. He sat quietly in the car with no expression on his face.
Shi Li just got off the plane. When he saw Chen Jingyan's call, he felt inexplicably relieved. He hesitated for a long time but hung up. He got into the taxi and replied to him: What's wrong?
Chen Jingyan heard the phone's prompt sound, his eyelashes trembled slightly, he lowered his eyes and stared at the message sent by Shi Li for a quiet moment, and sent her a message with a calm face: Why didn't you reply to my message just now?
Shi Li was silent for a moment: he accidentally fell asleep.
Chen Jingyan's hand holding the phone tightened suddenly, his face paler than before, his lips faintly turned purple, and his whole body was soaked in sweat. He took a long time to tremble his fingers and dial her phone number.
Shi Li's cell phone rang again. She looked at the caller ID and was about to explode. Especially after she froze, the other party continued to call herself. Seeing Chen Jingyan so stubborn, she suddenly became uneasy and always felt that he seemed to know that he had left.
When Shi Li thought of this possibility, he became anxious and hurriedly called for a renter and stopped at the entrance of the hotel. He opened a room as fast as possible to ensure that the surrounding environment was as quiet as at home, and then called him back, deliberately creating a sleepy look: "...I'm still a little sleepy, is there anything wrong with you keep calling?"
The other side of the phone was silent for a long time. After a long time, Shi Li began to feel panic, and then he heard Chen Jingyan's voice: "I've been sleeping just now?"
"...Yes, I didn't sleep well yesterday, so I made up for a nap at noon." Shili heard his normal voice and breathed a sigh of relief, preparing to complete the teleportation as soon as possible. "I won't tell you first, I'll get up and eat something, and then go for a walk in the yard."
After saying that, she hung up the phone, hurried downstairs, got in the car and headed towards the original crossing point.
As soon as her phone was hung up, Chen Jingyan received a video of her leaving home. His eyes were staring at her relaxed steps, and sweat dripping across his eyelids. At first glance, he seemed to be crying. He finally couldn't hold on anymore. His phone fell to the ground with a bang, and he lost all his consciousness the next second.
Shi Li didn't know that her lies had been exposed completely. After running to the place she came over last time, she immediately called Chen Jingyan. This was a garden with fewer people, and the environment and quietness were somewhat similar to that of the Shen Family Manor, so she was not worried that Chen Jingyan would find out.
The phone was connected, but no one answered. Shi Li felt a little sad. After the phone was automatically hung up, he called him again.
After repeating this action for more than an hour, the phone was almost out of power, so Chen Jingyan still refused to answer the phone.
Shi Li suddenly became anxious. Although the hatred value was only 1%, she could not expect Chen Jingyan to dissipate on his own initiative. She had to say a few nice words to coax him to eliminate the last bit of hatred value. How could she eliminate it if he didn't answer the phone now?
... Maybe I went to a meeting, after all, I was very busy with work. Shili comforted myself, but the feeling of panic could not be dispelled.
She paced back and forth at the crossing point, wanting to go back and see the situation immediately, but just after turning around and walking a few steps, she stopped suddenly.
No, I can't leave. Now the hatred value is only 1%, and it will disappear at any time. If it disappears completely when she goes back, she will stay in the novel world forever.
