When Xin Gan heard Xiao Shi call Jiang Tang's name, her eyes flickered, and she adjusted her posture and closed her eyes to rest.
Jiang Tang still asked on the phone, "Where have you been? Why haven't you said a word for days? I thought Cheng Jiu was on another mission."
Xiao Shi touched his nose and stammered perfunctorily, "Suddenly something happened..."
Is there anything that can't be said?
"This..."
"Xiao Shi, since it's not a mission, why can't you tell me?" If you can't say, give your phone to Cheng Jiu and I'll ask him.
Xiao Shi whispered, "Brother Jiu is driving..."
"Then you turn on the hands-free."
Xiao Shi couldn't handle Jiang Tang and asked Cheng Jiu for his opinion, saying, "Brother Jiu, Jiang Tang has something to see you for."
Cheng Jiu hummed in response, took the phone expressionlessly and asked simply and straightforwardly, "What's up?"
Jiang Tang chuckled and said in a joking tone, "Can't I just come to you if there's nothing wrong?" Look at what you said. What did you do with Xiaoshi? You were so mysterious. Even if I asked Xiaoshi, he wouldn't dare to tell me.
He looked coldly ahead without responding.
Jiang Tang said again, "Cheng Jiu, my father's birthday is coming up a few days ago. He called and asked if you wanted to come over for a meal." Afraid that Cheng Jiu wouldn't agree, she lowered her voice, with a pleading tone. "He's old and has nothing to do at home. He keeps asking me when you'll be free to come and have a drink with him. But if you're too busy, I'll just let him know."
Xin Gan remained silent all along. The car was quiet. When Cheng Jiu didn't speak, she could hear Jiang Tang's voice coming from the phone. Of course, it was very low and she could clearly understand what Jiang Tang was saying. But she felt that every time Jiang Tang came, there was actually nothing good about him.
She thought that Jiang Tang must have listed her as a rival. There was a gap between them. A woman's mind is complex and changeable. Once it involves a man, it's impossible to explain.
Cheng Jiu paused for a moment and said, "Understood."
So did you agree? Great! I'll tell my dad. He will surely be very happy when he knows.
Cheng Jiu was rather cold. He said, "Is there anything else?"
Suddenly, a coughing sound came from the back seat. Xiao Shi turned around and saw Xin Gan covering his mouth and coughing. He hurriedly asked, "Miss Xin, how are you?"
Cheng Jiu also turned his head to take a look. There was no sound at all on the other end of the phone.
Xin Gan shook her head, indicating that she was fine. She didn't say anything either.
However, Jiang Tang had already heard Xiao Shi's words about Miss Xin. The smile on her lips gradually faded. She asked Cheng Jiu, "Miss Xin is with you?"
Cheng Jiu hummed in agreement, lost patience and said, "I'm driving. We can talk about it when we get back. Hang up for now."
The next second, Jiang Tang heard a busy signal.
She stood there holding her phone, let out a cold breath and pursed her lips hard. How could she have never expected that Cheng Jiu was with Xin Gan? So Cheng Jiu has been with Xin Gan all these days since he ran out?
...
Cheng Jiu rolled down the car window and said, "Drink some water to moisten your throat."
Xiao Shi immediately handed Xin Gan a bottle of unopened mineral water. Xin Gan took it, unscrewed it and took a sip. Just as she was about to say thank you, she heard Cheng Jiu in the driver's seat say, "What are your plans for going back?"
"The matter of Asongli has been settled. I'm also going back to Yongcheng." "
Hearing this, Cheng Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly, seemingly a sign of displeasure.
"In a hurry to go back?"
Xin Gan said, "Well, I've just graduated and it's time to start looking for a job."
Xiao Shi sighed and interrupted, "Are you going back now?"
In fact, both Cheng Jiu and Xin Gan knew in their hearts that her mind was not here and that going back was an inevitable choice. But Cheng Jiu also said that their marriage would continue and she could stay here to cultivate their relationship with him.
But Xin Gan was clearly unwilling to stay any longer.
