Chapter 54 Girlfriend
Chapter 54 Girlfriend
This sudden, direct approach left Chen Jiang speechless.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Gao Wen's eyes flickered with a hint of sadness, but she didn't say anything more and took the initiative to change the subject:
"By the way, what are you going to Shanghai for?"
"It's nothing much..." Chen Jiang was silent for a few seconds before finally speaking: "An elder invested in a company and offered me a position, asking me to go over and help keep an eye on things."
"It's just a mascot. I don't need to do anything. I just went along to broaden my horizons and came back."
"Then let's come back together?" Gao Wen said with a gentle smile. "And if you'd like, we can spend a day or two in Shanghai. Shanghai is a bit more bustling than Shenzhen."
"We'll see."
Chen Jiang didn't care whether it was bustling or not, and besides, Shanghai was a first-tier city, and Shenzhen was no worse than Shanghai.
Gao Wen was not discouraged and immediately found a new topic to talk about:
"By the way, Chen Jiang, do you have a favorite celebrity? There should be a lot of celebrities attending my event this time. If you want someone's autograph, I can get it for you."
"I don't want it. I'm not a fan of celebrities, why would I need an autograph?"
Chen Jiang shook his head again. He didn't like watching TV, only watched sci-fi blockbusters, and preferred listening to old songs. He didn't really have any celebrities to follow.
Gao Wen's smile froze, and then she changed the subject again:
"So, what are your hobbies?"
Chen Jiang pondered for a moment:
"Hobbies...playing video games?"
"Playing games?" Gao Wen's eyes lit up. "Playing games is great... but I didn't see a computer at your house. Did you not have time to buy a new house yet?"
I guess so.
Chen Jiang nodded.
He has a computer at his old house, so he's not in a hurry to buy one for his new house.
"Then I'll give you one. I don't know much about computer brands, but I know a brand called ET that's pretty good." Gao Wen finally found another place to spend money.
But Chen Jiang waved his hand, indicating that it wasn't necessary.
"No way, what decent person would use ET? The premium is too high, it's not worth it."
"I always buy the parts and build my own computer, so you shouldn't spend your money. If I want to buy it, I'll buy it myself."
Gao Wen was getting a little anxious. Why was this man so stubborn?
"Then you must need something, right...?"
"Hey, why are you always thinking about buying me things?" Chen Jiang glanced at her, feeling a little helpless, and said, "How did you develop this habit? You want to spend money at the drop of a hat."
"We've only known each other for a few days, but I feel like you've already spent at least a million, right?"
"Even if you're good at making money, you can't be so wasteful."
"I'm not a spendthrift... Besides, I've never spent money on anyone other than my family and you."
Gao Wen was somewhat unconvinced. She refused to believe that she couldn't find Chen Jiang's weakness and was about to find another topic to talk about.
There was a light knock on the door of the private room, and then the door was pushed open. A waiter walked to the door, bowed slightly, and behind him was another waiter pushing a trolley with two bouquets of flowers on it.
Under the questioning gazes of Chen Jiang and Gao Wen, the waiter spoke:
"Hello, guests, these are your flowers. Please accept them."
"What kind of flowers? Did you plant them?"
Chen Jiang turned to look at Gao Wen in surprise, only to find that Gao Wen was also looking at him with a blank expression and shaking her head.
But at this moment, the waiter smiled and said:
"Guest, this is a complimentary gift from our store."
"Every Saturday, our store randomly selects couples to have their purchases free and receive a bouquet of flowers."
"However, there is one rule: you must personally acknowledge that you are boyfriend and girlfriend in order to receive the bouquet, because our intention is to surprise couples in love, not to put pressure on our guests."
As he spoke, the waiter glanced at the man and woman in the private room and asked softly:
"So please tell me, you two are a couple, right?"
Upon hearing this explanation and question, Chen Jiang couldn't help but turn his gaze to Gao Wen again.
No, this really isn't a shill you hired?
Is it even possible to have such an awkward event these days?
Gao Wen was genuinely confused. She had only gotten a membership card here and hadn't been here many times. She had no idea there were these rules, and she really hadn't made any prior arrangements.
However, regarding this issue... all she could say was that it came at the perfect time.
She was worried about how to find a breakthrough with Chen Jiang, but unexpectedly, the assist came at just the right time. Could it be that the plot of the idol drama she had acted in for so many years has really appeared in her life?
Thinking of this, Gao Wen immediately nodded and said:
"Of course we're a couple!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Chen Jiang, his face displaying a pleading expression:
"Chen Jiang, don't you think so?"
No, you're saying this isn't your usual tactic?
Chen Jiang frowned and looked at Gao Wen, wondering if this was her little scheme, or if it was just good luck or some kind of special effort on his part.
But the next second, he noticed Gao Wen's expression... serious, apprehensive, and with a hint of anticipation.
At this moment, her eyes were fixed on him, her eyelashes seemed to tremble slightly with nervousness, and her pink lips were tightly closed, as if she were holding her breath.
"I......"
What else could Chen Jiang say? He simply nodded and said, "We are."
The waiter's face immediately lit up with a smile. He turned around, picked up the bouquets from the cart, and presented them to Chen Jiang and Gao Wen respectively. He then quickly took out a bunch of things, such as candles and red wine, and arranged them one by one before stepping back to the door and giving a slight bow.
Have a wonderful day!
After saying that, the waiter, who seemed to have been hired by the company, quickly retreated and disappeared without a trace.
When Chen Jiang turned back to look at Gao Wen, he found that she was also looking at him:
"Tell me the truth... did you hire a shill?"
"Of course not."
Gao Wen smiled softly, then quickly composed herself and looked at Chen Jiang seriously, asking, "You just said...we're a couple, right?"
Chen Jiang looked into her eyes, not really understanding why she was so persistent, but the atmosphere seemed to have suddenly become right, so he could only slowly say:
"I've already told you, there's no good in being with me, but you insist on being a moth drawn to a flame. I don't even know what it is about me that you find attractive."
"I know."
"Even if it doesn't end well, you won't give up?"
"That's right!"
"If that's how you put it, then I don't care. Girlfriend it is... But like I said, if you ever get tired of me, or feel that I'm not suitable, or if I get tired of you, then let's part ways amicably, as long as you don't regret it."
Seeing this, Chen Jiang had nothing more to say. Since Gao Wen had made up her mind, he had no way to run away from it.
It's just having another girlfriend in name only. It doesn't mean he has to get married just because he has that title. There's nothing he can do if Gao Wen insists on walking into the lion's den. Anyway, he has already refused and reminded her repeatedly. Becoming a scumbag is not his intention. In the end, let's leave it to luck.
"You really agreed?"
Gao Wen was a little incredulous. She hadn't expected Chen Jiang to actually agree, even though he had been resisting before.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiang looked at her, and then, to her surprise, pulled her to his side, pinched her chin, and kissed her. He kissed her for a full minute before lifting his head.
Seeing the woman's dazed expression, he smiled slightly.
"Now, are there no more questions?"
