Chapter 49 The Two Pretending
In the afternoon, after learning about Su Xing's recovery, Jiang Huaimeng specially took some time from the company to visit Lin Zheng.
Since they were face-to-face, Jiang Huaimeng reverted to her usual kind and gentle older sister persona, her caring voice carrying a touch of sweetness.
She exuded the air of a well-bred lady.
"Young Master Lin, how are you feeling? You've been unconscious for the past few days, which has been making me very anxious."
Shen hope stood to the side, feeling that she had almost guessed the answer to the question.
This man is going to make another sarcastic remark.
To everyone's surprise, Lin Zheng was surprisingly serious when facing Jiang Huaimeng: "I'm sorry to have worried you, President Jiang. I'm fine. They gave me a lot of major tests this afternoon and said I'm very healthy. I can be discharged from the hospital in a week at most after recuperating."
Shen hope was surprised.
Jiang Huaimeng was relieved: "That's good. Anyway, if there's nothing urgent these next few days, Young Master Lin can rest in the hospital for a while longer and go out when he's fully recovered."
Lin Zheng waved his hand, looking every bit the man who wanted to have a cleavage: "That won't do. I also have some things to take care of. I was thinking of staying for another two or three days. Speaking of which, there's the commercial street that President Jiang asked me to investigate last time."
When the topic came up, Jiang Huaimeng looked very annoyed: "Don't mention it, it's all my fault, all my fault. If I hadn't impulsively called Young Master Lin that day and asked you to investigate, you wouldn't be in this mess now. It's all my fault."
Lin Zheng interjected, "How could it be President Jiang's fault? This matter has absolutely nothing to do with President Jiang."
Jiang Huaimeng's eyes were even a little red, her acting was very convincing: "No! If it weren't for me, why would Young Master Lin have suffered such a great offense? He almost didn't make it back from the brink of death."
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Lin Zheng instinctively reached out to hold Jiang Huaimeng's hand, but realized he had lost his composure the moment he grasped it and withdrew it. Jiang Huaimeng was also slightly stunned.
Feeling the lingering warmth of the other person's brief touch on their palm.
The two looked at each other, but for a moment they were too embarrassed to look at each other and looked away.
To outsiders, they seem like young boys and girls experiencing their first love, pure and innocent like first love.
But in reality, both of them had their own agendas, and neither of them was a fox who had lived for thousands of years.
Jiang Huaimeng appeared pitiful on the surface, but secretly she was delighted by the other party's unconscious loss of composure, especially Lin Zheng's serious demeanor, which she found hilarious.
Lin Zheng, seeing the opportunity, knew what Jiang Huaimeng liked, so he naturally pretended to be innocent and teased her.
However, the awkward atmosphere made Shen hope feel uncomfortable. In fact, she had disliked the way Lin Zheng and Jiang Zong spoke when Lin Zheng went to Jiang Zong's house for tea last time.
After all, Shen hope knew perfectly well what the two of them were really like.
This time it's definitely more serious! It's like those students who have just experienced love in school... making her feel an unbearable itch in her heart.
"President Jiang, I'm going to ask the doctor about Young Master Lin's condition. I'll be right back."
Jiang Huaimeng nodded gently: "Okay, Xiao hope, you can go ahead and do your work."
Shen hope turned around, glanced at Lin Zheng who was putting on an act with annoyance, snorted inwardly, and turned to leave.
That despicable man! It's true that there are some people in this world you just can't stand, no matter what happens, the outcome will always be the same.
Lin Zheng ignored Shen hope's little glance.
He continued talking to Jiang Huaimeng about the commercial street, explaining the final results of his investigation.
Jiang Huaimeng listened attentively, completely absorbed. Although she hadn't yet entered into marriage, she felt as if she were experiencing a hint of what it meant to be a wife.
As the two chatted, while the nurse came in to change the dressing, they suddenly started talking about the lantern festival at the end of the month.
The nurse, changing the dressing, asked, "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Lin, are you going to the Lantern Festival next month?"
Jiang Huaimeng asked in confusion, "A lantern festival?"
"Hmm, the annual lantern festival. I heard this year's festival is especially lively, with celebrities performing. There are lots of fun things to do at the festival. How come neither President Jiang nor Mr. Lin have been?"
Jiang Huaimeng shook her head: "I've never liked those noisy places."
Lin Zheng also said, "I go there very rarely."
Knowing that these two were not ordinary people, the nurse didn't say anything more: "That's right, President Jiang and Mr. Lin are usually quite busy, unlike us. Okay, the medicine has been changed. Just call me when the infusion is finished."
After she left the ward, Lin Zheng looked at Jiang Huaimeng, and Jiang Huaimeng looked at Lin Zheng.
After a brief silence, they all suddenly laughed.
Lin Zheng asked curiously, "What is President Jiang laughing at?"
Jiang Huaimeng shook her head: "I don't know, what is Young Master Lin laughing at?"
Lin Zheng replied matter-of-factly, "I guess I'm just naturally cheerful. Anyway, I feel inexplicably happy whenever I see President Jiang."
Jiang Huaimeng let out a soft chuckle.
Lin Zheng sighed, "It's a real pity, though. I heard the lights were done quite well this year, but unfortunately President Jiang doesn't like to go."
"Don't like going?" This really made Lin Zheng laugh. How could Jiang Huaimeng, who yearned for romance the most, not like going to such a place that was most suitable for couples? Her so-called dislike of going was just that no one had accompanied her before.
She wouldn't go to such a place alone, but now, Lin Zheng didn't want to miss out on something that could significantly improve his favorability; the more skill points, the better.
Jiang Huaimeng understood the meaning behind Lin Zheng's words, blinking her beautiful, cool eyes: "What do you mean by 'It's a pity I don't like to go'? Didn't Young Master Lin just say you didn't like to go?"
Lin Zheng said in a low voice, "I mean I don't go often, not that I don't like going. It's just that it's hard to find time to go to those kinds of places. I'm very busy."
"Really?" Jiang Huaimeng asked with a smile, "Will Young Master Lin be busy during the lantern festival this year?"
"Busy! I don't even have a moment to myself."
This answer surprised Jiang Huaimeng, but her next words made her laugh. Lin Zheng said, "However, if President Jiang is willing to take a look, I think I might have a little bit of time. But just now, President Jiang said..."
Jiang Huaimeng, seeing the opportunity, showed her understanding side: "What did I say? I did say I don't like going to those kinds of places, but that was before. Young Master Lin never invited me before."
Lin Zheng smiled.
Jiang Huaimeng smiled as well.
Lin Zheng said, "Then it's settled? I'll call President Jiang at the end of the month, and we can go to the lantern festival together?"
"Okay, just don't stand me up, Young Master Lin."
"I can't stand up President Jiang, no matter who I stand up. I only have short-term relationships with others, but it's different with President Jiang. If I stand him up, I won't have a good life in the future."
Jiang Huaimeng pretended not to understand: "I don't understand what Young Master Lin is talking about. What do you mean by short-term or long-term? I don't understand at all."
After the visit ended, Jiang Huaimeng said she had to go back to the company that evening and said goodbye to Lin Zheng.
The moment Shen hope pushed Jiang Huaimeng out of the ward, the woman's gentle face reverted to that sickly expression.
Smiling broadly.
My fiancé looks so funny like this~
Lantern Festival? What would you like to do with me then?
