Chapter 57: Take a sharp turn

When Jiang Baiwan got up the next day, the weather outside was gloomy. She hesitated, and sent a WeChat message to the college student waiter, telling him that she would not go to the store today, and trouble him and Wei Dao to look after the store. After sending the WeChat message, Jiang Baiwan threw the phone on the bedside table and fell into the soft bed again.
For some reason, Jiang Baiwan felt that his head was a little dizzy, probably because he was too emotional yesterday, and then he slept too late when he came back at night, which caused the whole person to feel a little embarrassed.
Jiang Baiwan didn't think much, he just turned over and fell asleep again.
Although Ji Chen slept late yesterday, he still sat in the office on time today. It's just that the dark circles under the eyes seem to be heavy, Assistant Xu didn't dare to ask more, just honestly report to Ji Chen. After Ji Chen finished processing the things on hand, he took time out and sent a message to Jiang Baiwan.
Yesterday, although her mood calmed down, it was obviously only temporarily depressed, and I don't know how she is now.
However, Jiang Baiwan, who usually responds in seconds, has not returned news of Ji Chen after a long time. Ji Chen waited for an hour. Seeing that Jiang Baiwan still didn't reply, he directly picked up the phone and called Jiang Baiwan.
Jiang Baiwan was lying on the bed, his head dizzy, he only felt vaguely as if he heard the sound of a mobile phone vibrating. She stretched out her hand dazedly and touched it twice before she touched the phone from the bedside table. When she pressed the answer button, she wanted to say hello, but was surprised to find that her voice could hardly come out.
Ji Chen only heard a voice like "Hey" coming from the other end of the phone, and his brows frowned: "What's wrong with you?"
"I...I'm just a little sleepy." Jiang Baiwan coughed twice before he could finish his sentence. She blinked her eyes dumbly and smiled: "Oh, I seem to have a cold."
"Okay, don't talk anymore." Ji Chen intercepted Jiang Baiwan's words, "You take a rest first, I'll be there soon."
Jiang Baiwan followed Ji Chen's meaning and hung up the phone. She pressed her uncomfortable throat and her temples jumped suddenly. She rolled over under the bed and soon fell asleep again.
When Ji Chen arrived at Jiang Baiwan's home, he knocked on the door and waited for a long time at the door before Jiang Baiwan opened the door. She was wearing pink sleepiness, with a pair of plush slippers on her feet, her eyes were still confused when she stood at the door, and her face was red. Jiang Baiwan sniffed, and it took a long time for his dull brain to realize who was at the door: "Ji Chen, you are here."
"You are sick." Although Ji Chen was a questioning sentence, he used a positive tone, "Go in, don't stand at the door, it's windy."
Jiang Baiwan entered the house obediently. Seeing that she was obviously different from usual, Ji Chen couldn't help sighing. He hesitated, but still grabbed Jiang Baiwan's hand and led her into her bedroom: "Go back. Go to sleep, I will pour a cup of hot water."
"Sleep enough, not sleepy." Jiang Baiwan pressed the drake voice, trying hard to make a sound of not sleeping.
"Then don't get out of bed." Ji Chen said so much, "I brought the medicine, take my body temperature first, and take the medicine later."
Watching Jiang Baiwan get into the bed obediently, Ji Chen went out to the kitchen. There was no hot water in Jiang Baiwan's kitchen. Ji Chen found the electric kettle. Taking advantage of the time to boil the hot water, Ji Chen turned out the thermometer he had brought and turned into Jiang Baiwan's room.
"Open your mouth." Ji Chen stood by the bed, coaxing Jiang Baiyu in a good voice, "take his temperature."
Jiang Baiwan stared at the thermometer and suddenly said, "Ji Chen, you are like my mother now."
"Call my dad when you are drunk, and now you call me mom?" Ji Chen sneered, "open your mouth."
Jiang Baiwan put the thermostat in his mouth angrily-Ji Chen has already begun to be defensive against her molesting, this man is really not fun.
Ji Chen moved a stool and sat beside Jiang Baiwan's bed, straightened his waist and waited for five minutes, took out the thermometer, and found that it was 38.3. She really had a fever.
"Don't you even notice that you have a fever?" Ji Chen was a little angry, "Aren't you uncomfortable now...?"
Jiang Baiwan pointed to his throat pitifully, and expressed his discomfort with his actions. Ji Chen had no choice but to honestly bring her the dried water and medicine: "Take the medicine, you have a fever now, take a good rest."
Jiang Baiwan took the water cup and medicine handed by Ji Chen, and originally wanted to swallow the pill boldly. Who knew that the pill seemed to melt halfway and stuck to Jiang Baiwan's throat. As her expression changed, she coughed uncontrollably. She had no strength because of fever again, and she was about to slip.
Ji Chen quickly took the water glass from her hand, and put his arms around Jiang Baiyu's waist, supporting her to sit on the bed. Jiang Baiwan grasped Ji Chen's forearms with both hands, and couldn't care about it at all. She was still coughing, tears coming out of her eyes.
"Be careful." Ji Chen said in a low voice, his hand gently patted Jiang Baiwan on the back, trying hard to get along for her.
After Jiang Baiwan finally calmed down, Ji Chen realized how inappropriate his posture holding Jiang Baiwan was. President Ji blushed, and then, taking advantage of Jiang Baiwan's attention, he secretly retracted his arm.
"It must be because I was too emotional yesterday, and the wind blew again when I came back." Jiang Baiwan had a better voice after drinking water, and he was able to speak, "I have to count this account on Jiang Zhishu's head. "
When Ji Chen heard her mention Jiang Zhishu, he hesitated for a while, wondering if he should tell her about Jiang Zhishu. Jiang Baiwan's head was already sober at this time. Seeing Ji Chen's rare tangled appearance, she said openly: "It's okay, I know what you want to say, just say it."
"Are you still angry now?" Ji Chen brought a soft pillow and stuffed it behind Jiang Baiwan to make her lie more comfortable, "I actually..."
Jiang Baiwan smiled, she turned over and lay on her side so that she could look at Ji Chen. Because of his illness, Jiang Baiwan's eyes looked a little foggy, but they were still bright: "Okay, if you want to say sorry to me again, you have already said it."
"Of course I'm still angry," Jiang Baiwan cleared his throat. "He ran to the United States with his parents and left me alone in China. Obviously, I don't want my daughter anymore. Do you think I can forgive him so easily? ?"
Ji Chen nodded silently, and Jiang Baiwan was right. No one could easily forgive this kind of thing abandoned by a close relative.
"So it's up to him." Jiang Baiwan said, "If you want to get my forgiveness, you have to let me see his sincerity first, and then give me a suitable reason."
When Jiang Baiwan said this, she was a little cold. She pulled the quilt up again, covering the lower half of her face, only revealing a pair of eyes. She stared at Ji Chen with a dull voice: "I know you have taken him in, but Ji Chen...you don't need to do this. You have no responsibility for this matter."
Ji Chen probably understood what Jiang Baiwan meant, and he nodded: "I understand."
"What do you know." Looking at Ji Chen's serious appearance, Jiang Baiwan smiled instead. Because of her fever, she couldn't hold back some of the things she had been hiding in her heart. Seeing that the atmosphere was right now, Jiang Baiwan asked directly: "Ji Chen, I have always been curious about one thing. Why did you agree? Engaged with me?"
With a background and family background like Ji's family, you can find a better fiancee anyway? How could such a good thing fall on Jiang Baiwan?
When Ji Chen heard this, he looked at Jiang Baiwan deeply. He thought for a moment, and said calmly: "I don't know."
Jiang Baiwan:? ? ?
What kind of answer is this!
"This matter was settled by your parents and my parents." Ji Chen said, "About when you and I were young, I had no impression. I guess you have no impression."
It turned out to be so. Jiang Baiwan patted Ji Chen's leg sympathetically: "It's embarrassing for you to get married. I guess you don't agree with this marriage."
Seeing Jiang Baiwan's open-minded appearance, Ji Chen felt a little uncomfortable. He frowned, grabbed Jiang Baiwan's arm and tucked it back into the bed, with a bad tone: "You don't like it either?"
"Who wouldn't like you?" Jiang Baiwan... his mouth was faster than his brain. "He is handsome and rich. He looks cold on the surface, but he is actually a good man, young and promising, young talent."
Ji Chen was even more unhappy when he was issued a good person card by Jiang Baiwan again. He interrupted Jiang Baiwan's words and said softly, "I'm not so good to everyone."
Jiang Baiwan was taken aback, she raised her eyes to look at Ji Chen, but just ran into those eyes. Ji Chen's eyes seemed to be burning, and Jiang Baiwan couldn't move his eyes for a while.
Ji Chen approached Jiang Baiwan a bit. He lowered his head, not giving Jiang Baiwan a chance to dodge, and repeated the sentence just now: "I am not so good to everyone."
Jiang Baiwan was flustered, she wanted to reach out and push Ji Chen away, but Ji Chen took the opportunity to hold both hands. Ji Chen got closer again, Jiang Baiwan couldn't avoid it, and couldn't help raising his voice a little: "Ji Chen Jichen, you calm down, men and women don't kiss me!"
"The two of us are unmarried couples. It doesn't apply if you don't kiss or accept," Ji Chen said. "It just so happens. I have been thinking about something for a long time."
Jiang Baiwan felt that the situation seemed to be out of control, but she was so obsessed, she followed Ji Chen's words and continued: "What's the matter?"
"At the beginning, no one knew about our two engagement, and no one knew about the dissolution of the engagement." Ji Chen stared into her eyes, "I originally thought I would not regret it, but now..."
"I regret."
