Chapter 53 The Female Celebrity Who Made Up Her Mind
Following the address Gao Wen gave us, we finally arrived at a decent-looking coffee shop.
Gao Wen must be a VIP here, and she left Chen Jiang's name. After he told the front desk his name, a waiter led him to a private room on the second floor.
Chen Jiang pushed open the door and went inside.
"You've arrived."
Gao Wen, sitting on the sofa, immediately looked up at Chen Jiang, a smile spreading across her face. She casually tossed her phone onto the sofa, then quickly picked up a delicate little box beside her and presented it to Chen Jiang, her gaze fixed on him with intense intensity.
"My payment has arrived. This is a gift I bought for you. Do you like it?"
What gift are you buying...?
Chen Jiang sat down on the sofa, took the box from Gao Wen with both hands, and placed it on the table in front of him.
Feeling a little guilty under her gaze, her eyes seemed to be both darting away and observing. She naturally scanned the private room before finally settling on Gao Wen across from her.
Unlike the photo that was sent earlier, Gao Wen in front of me had changed her clothes again. The dense decorations on the silver dress shimmered with light, making it look like a waterfall or a silver river at first glance.
The light made her already beautiful face even more stunning, and Chen Jiang unconsciously swallowed back some of the things he wanted to say.
To be honest, before he came, he was prepared to harden his heart and sever this ill-fated relationship between himself and Gao Wen.
But once inside the private room, Gao Wen's enthusiastic gaze made him realize that he could only keep his thoughts to himself, feeling somewhat guilty and unable to speak.
After all, no matter how you look at it, he's the one who benefits... As a man, saying he won't delay the other person sounds like he's shirking responsibility.
Although he was indeed shirking responsibility...
Gao Wen, however, seemed completely oblivious to Chen Jiang's sudden change of heart. Instead, she excitedly got up and moved to sit next to him, quickly opening the box to reveal a gold watch inside.
"Ta-da! A Patek Philippe Nautilus shell, do you like it?"
Chen Jiang sighed inwardly. He actually wanted to be more indifferent, preferably to give Gao Wen some passive-aggressive treatment, so that no matter how much Gao Wen was upset, she probably wouldn't be able to take it.
But the key point is... he may not want to take responsibility, but he's not without a conscience.
He was already feeling a bit guilty about the whole thing, and then Gao Wen came up with a gift. How could he possibly be so heartless?
So all one can do is sigh:
"Why did you buy this kind of thing... Didn't I already say I don't like wearing watches and jewelry?"
"Hey, just give it a try!"
Gao Wen seemed not to have heard Chen Jiang's words.
As he spoke, he grabbed Chen Jiang's left hand and pulled it to his side, clamping it between his arms, and forcibly tried to put the watch on Chen Jiang's arm.
Chen Jiang didn't dare to struggle too much. Gao Wen's mental blow was already enough for him to bear. If she caused any physical problems, he would absolutely have to take full responsibility.
In short, after his futile attempts to resist, the gleaming gold watch was finally placed on his wrist.
Feeling the weight and coldness on his wrist, Chen Jiang sighed again.
To be honest, he's lived for over twenty years, and apart from the little red flowers his mother and kindergarten teacher gave him, no other woman has ever given him a gift. Gao Wen even bought him a gift twice already. He really can't bring himself to say anything hurtful.
"What are you doing... I already said I didn't want it, but you still insisted on bringing it to me."
"They just wanted you to give it a try..."
Gao Wen kept staring at Chen Jiang's eyes... Seeing that there was no unhappiness or disdain in his eyes other than helplessness, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Because at this moment, it was as if Chen Jiang wanted to refuse her but couldn't bear to.
Actually, she is now mustering up the courage to test Chen Jiang.
She had never been in a relationship before, but she knew that her feelings for Chen Jiang had come rather suddenly, yet she couldn't quite control herself.
After hearing what Chen Jiang said last time, she had actually prepared herself to cut off all contact with him. But it turned out she was too naive. Over the past few days, the more she tried not to think about him, the more she thought of him.
The key point is that she herself doesn't know why she's so obsessed; she can only attribute it to the fact that she might have really fallen for Chen Jiang.
After agonizing for several days, she finally mustered up her courage today, prepared a gift, and took the initiative to ask Chen Jiang out, deciding to launch a tentative advance.
If Chen Jiang refuses or shows resistance, then she should harden her heart and completely sever this sudden relationship, so as not to force a connection and end up hurting both of them.
But the result was unexpectedly smooth, so does that mean...?
All in all, she's actually quite happy now.
"Then just give it a try, but you should return it."
Chen Jiang raised his hand, intending to take off the watch, but before he could do so, Gao Wen grabbed his hand and pressed it down.
He turned to look at her, puzzled, only to find Gao Wen looking at him pitifully.
Chen Jiang's strength immediately gave way, and he had to abandon the idea.
"Okay, okay, I won't pick them, alright?"
"Don't look at me like that, it's too much for my heart."
"Then you'll keep your word."
When Gao Wen saw that Chen Jiang wasn't taking off his watch, she became even more certain of her thoughts.
However, despite being love-struck, she had an innate understanding of the principles of push and pull. Seeing that Chen Jiang had indeed accepted her gift, she shifted her position, creating a slight distance between herself and Chen Jiang, and said:
"Have you had breakfast yet? The chef at this club is quite skilled. What would you like to eat? I'll have them make it for you."
"I ate breakfast this morning, I'm not hungry yet." Chen Jiang shook his head and looked at Gao Wen: "But you... you didn't call me here just to give me a watch, did you?"
"Didn't you say you were going to Shanghai in a few days? What are you going there for?"
"this......"
To be fair, Gao Wen really did ask him out just to give him the watch, although the deeper meaning was a test. She didn't actually have any further plans.
"I have work... I had a cameo role in a movie before, and they need my help with some promotional activities, but I probably only have one day."
Chen Jiang nodded slightly, then hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"If nothing unexpected happens... I'll be going to Shanghai in a few days."
"Really?"
Gao Wen was pleasantly surprised:
"Then we can still be together, right?"
Chen Jiang couldn't help but laugh:
"No, why do you insist on being with me?"
Gao Wen blushed:
What do you think?
