Chapter 1080: Chapter 1079: Please, Don’t Go
Chen Ming didn’t know she had met Gu Anxi, scratched his head: "A friend is here."
"Isn’t it just your little kindergarten teacher? Do you need to do this?" Song Jia coldly opened her mouth: "Do you need to stay in the same hotel with me?"
Chen Ming was stunned and then said, "The company organized the trip, the company booked it."
"Which kindergarten can book a room for five thousand bucks a night?" Song Jia retorted.
This time, Chen Ming had nothing to say. Indeed... Zhou Su said it was a company trip, but he didn’t see who she was staying with, and this room was also unreasonable, the only reason being Zhou Su knew about Song Jia’s presence and deliberately came over from Beicheng, no matter what reason, he still had to host.
Originally, he didn’t plan to stay overnight; it’s just Zhou Su’s foot was twisted, so he had to take care of her until her foot improved.
Chen Ming’s mind was broad, didn’t think much, "Her foot was twisted, I’m here to take care of it."
Song Jia raised her head to look at the red numbers, softly said, "There’s no need to explain, we don’t have any relationship."
As she spoke, the numbers reached the 23rd floor, where Zhou Su was. Chen Ming gave Song Jia a glance, wanted to say something but ended up saying nothing.
She was right, they didn’t have any relationship, some words he didn’t need to explain to her...
After he went out, the elevator doors closed again, and only then did Song Jia’s expression relax. She then kicked the elevator, wearing high heels, and this kick directly twisted her foot, it hurt terribly.
Bent over, she pulled off her shoe, checked, and found it swollen red.
Damn, probably hurt the tendon, wouldn’t know if she could walk properly tomorrow.
When Song Jia walked out, she was limping all the way, thus ruining her good mood for the night. Entering the room, she found the medicine box, skillfully treated herself a bit and then didn’t care, took out the wine from the minibar, poured herself a glass, sat on the terrace, and slowly drank...
The night was brushing her long hair, night even softer.
She felt a bit lonely, a bit bored, wanted to call her brother and sister-in-law but was afraid they would overthink, eventually, she actually called Gu Anxi, anyway she hated Gu Anxi the most, waking her up would be best...
The phone rang, Gu Anxi barely reached for the phone beside her, her voice trembling slightly: "So late, you’re still not asleep?"
Bo Xichen approached her neck, his voice hoarse: "Only allowed to say a few words then hang up."
Gu Anxi looked at him, then listened to the other side talking, Song Jia probably drank too much, her voice light, didn’t know what she was saying, then directly hung up the phone...
After the call ended, Gu Anxi was clearly a bit absent-minded, Uncle Bo leaned close to her ear: "Focus."
She made an "oh" sound, obediently turned off the phone...
Over there, Song Jia drank half a night of wine, on the other side Chen Ming was also chaotic in heart. He was half-familiar with that girl before, but thinking that Song Jia was in the same hotel, just the thought made him uneasy.
He treated Zhou Su’s foot injury, put down his hand, and asked worriedly: "If it’s not good by tomorrow, shall I take you to the hospital?"
Zhou Su had bathed, wearing her own cotton pajamas and holding her leg: "No need, it’s nothing serious, tomorrow you have to work during the day anyway."
Chen Ming looked at her, then looked at the time: "It’s late, sleep now."
Zhou Su nodded, then got up and walked towards the bedroom, but only after a few steps, her foot twisted again, she bit her lip and slowly fell into the couch.
"I’ll carry you." Chen Ming stated quietly, then picked her up horizontally and walked towards the bedroom.
Zhou Su looked up at his resolute face, suddenly hugged his neck lightly, somewhat nervously said, "You...aren’t leaving?"
Chen Ming nodded reservedly, then said: "If you’re inconvenient to go to the bathroom at night, call me, I’ll sleep on the couch."
Zhou Su suddenly hugged his neck: "Chen Ming, I... I came here this time..."
Chen Ming’s face suddenly flushed a bit red, quickly put her down, hurriedly said: "I’m going to smoke a cigarette."
Zhou Su held him: "Am I not worthy to keep you here? Clearly you’re willing to stay here overnight."
Chen Ming took a step back, "Zhou Su, this... is not the right time."
After speaking, he lightly brushed away her hand and turned around to walk out.
Zhou Su’s voice came from behind: "You still can’t forget her, can you?"
Chen Ming’s body stiffened, after a long pause he turned back and stared at her: "Who are you talking about?"
Zhou Su knelt on the bed, sniffed briefly, laughed lightly: "Song Jia, the Berlin film queen, the most beautiful actress in the entertainment circle, didn’t you have a time with her? She lives here now, you guys had interaction these past days, didn’t you? Chen Ming, she and you are not from the same world, you’re just her pastime for boredom and loneliness, she’ll never choose you, wake up, will you?"
Chen Ming’s voice slightly tightened: "You’re overthinking."
"I’m not overthinking." Zhou Su laughed bleakly: "Originally I was confident in our relationship, but you’ve been acting strange these days."
Chen Ming made his voice very light: "So you investigated me?"
Zhou Su, though just a kindergarten teacher, had relatives with considerable influence in Beicheng, so she could find out about him and Song Jia, though that matter wasn’t known by everyone.
At this moment he was a bit angry, although honest, he didn’t like being manipulated by a woman. But now she was here with a twisted foot, he had to give basic care, otherwise, it would be hard to explain to his mother, and he was hesitating about things between them, wondering if they were suitable.
Zhou Su was scared by his question, took a long time before she softly spoke: "Chen Ming, I didn’t mean to, I just like you, like you so much that I don’t dare take risks so I came, we’re staying at the same hotel as her, I just wanted to know what weight I really hold in your heart."
After speaking, she moved herself forward, hugged his waist, buried her face in his broad shoulder, her voice low: "We are so suitable, I don’t want to give up, so I came."
She raised her head, closed her eyes.
She indeed was quite pretty with delicate features, Chen Ming looked down at her for a long time, steeled himself and leaned down to kiss her, a moment later he left hurriedly, his breath chaotic.
Zhou Su was somewhat disappointed, slumped on the bed edge: "You... don’t like me?"
"I said, it’s not the right time, we’ve only known each other less than a month." Chen Ming’s voice was somewhat hoarse.
Zhou Su faintly opened: "Yet you knew her for a few days and were with her, weren’t you?"
She stared into his eyes: "These days, have you been with her?"
Chen Ming’s gaze dimmed, then asked: "If so, as long as I choose to be with you, can this all be forgotten?"
Zhou Su pressed her lips tightly and lightly nodded.
Chen Ming suddenly relaxed entirely, looked at her, smiled faintly: "Zhou Su, I’m sorry, we’re not suitable, I’ll book another room, call me if you need anything."
After speaking, he turned and left, decisively without looking back.
Zhou Su sat there stunned, she didn’t know where she said something wrong or what, she was a bit annoyed, angrily grabbed a pillow and threw it towards his back: "Chen Ming you’re a bastard, I came specifically to find you, and now you say we’re not suitable, you’re just wanting to be with her, aren’t you, actually you just can’t let her go."
