Chapter 153: The Exact Same Habit
Translator: Lordbluefire
Lu Cheng was stunned.
He stared at Chu Cichen in puzzlement. “Bro Chen, you…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Shen Ruojing had turned around and was walking outside. Lu Cheng could only follow her.
However, once the two of them arrived at the garage, a low voice behind them drifted over. “Let me send you two there.”
The two of them turned their heads together and saw Chu Cichen in the midst of putting on a western suit. After saying that, he directly went into the car and sat in the backseat.
Shen Ruojing lifted her brows and sat with him in the backseat.
Ye Lu astutely sat in the driver’s seat. He then took his phone out and sent a message to Ye Lu through WeChat. [SOS, please invite the divine doctor to head to Dugu Xiao’s villa to save someone!]
He only started the engine after sending the message.
There were two other cars in front of them and four other cars behind them. The group of them then moved off in a convoy. This arrangement was what Chu Cichen normally had when he set off.
Shen Ruojing felt that the whole thing was too grand.
She looked forward and backward before looking at Chu Cichen. “Are you afraid that he won’t let me go?”
Chu Cichen didn’t say anything, but he silently agreed.
Shen Ruojing wanted to say that there was actually no need for that. Dugu Xiao’s villa wasn’t able to trap her. But when she saw the strict expression on this man’s face, she no longer said anything.
The atmosphere in the car fell silent.
Shen Ruojing took out her phone out of boredom, but she had been observing the person beside her from the corner of her eye.
Chu Cichen sat very straight, his gaze looking ahead. At this moment, his thin lips were pressed together, accentuating the clear contour of his face. In his tight suits, he somehow exuded a sense of asceticism.
This was the first time the two of them were alone…she naturally automatically neglected Lu Cheng in the driver’s seat.
Shen Ruojing looked to be a little bit in a trance. She then turned her head and glanced at the street outside, watching the scenery. However, Chu Cichen’s voice suddenly rang out. “I have something I wish to talk to you about.”
Shen Ruojing retracted her vision, and her peach blossom eyes contained the hint of a smile. “I know what you want to say.”
She calmly continued, “Are you going to say that I’ll at most only be your fiancée?”
Chu Cichen pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.
He didn’t want to see her being gossiped about by others, especially being looked down upon due to her identity. Hence, he was willing to announce to the outside world that she was his fiancée.
However, he couldn’t forget 518, so he had no right to start a new relationship.
This was so although he would involuntarily pay attention to Shen Ruojing frequently.
Shen Ruojing glanced at him. “Don’t need to feel guilty. I’ve said that I have not agreed anyway.”
What was between them was the white moonlight in Chu Cichen’s heart. Before she clearly understood what exactly happened between them, Shen Ruojing wouldn’t agree to be together with him.
When Chu Cichen heard her saying this, he actually heaved a sigh of relief.
He spoke in a low voice, “After this period, no one will dare to reproach you anymore. If you have someone you like outside, you can…”
“Shush,” Shen Ruojing said in annoyance, “If you don’t know how to speak, don’t speak.”
She then looked out through the car window again.
No matter what, she still felt a little vexed and annoyed in her heart.
This man always wanted to push her away. However, she no longer had any energy left to like another person.
After all, wasn’t her current stable and retired life very good?
Why did she have to find a male to simp for her? Wouldn’t that be very troublesome?
Lu Cheng, who was driving, started slightly. Before this, no one had dared to speak like this to his boss.
He then shifted his posture a little and glanced at his boss’s expression through the rearview mirror. Chu Cichen sat there and completely showed no signs of being angry.
Lu Cheng. “…”
He couldn’t help but break the silence in the car. “Bro Chen, you don’t have to worry too much about Miss Shen. Earlier, I sent a message to Ye Lu. She will bring the divine doctor there. Actually, it is alright even if Miss Shen doesn’t go. We can directly get the divine doctor to treat Dugu Xiao…Miss Shen, you going there is a superfluous action…”
When Shen Ruojing heard this, she finally looked at Chu Cichen again.
This fellow probably already knew her identity, right?
If not, why would he allow her to go over?
Her long dainty and fair fingers began pinching her chin.
Chu Cichen also looked at her. After seeing her current actions, his pupils constricted slightly.
He suddenly recalled 518…
Back then, when she was with him, she would always pinch her chin when she was contemplating a problem…
Chu Cichen’s gaze gradually became deep.
As if she had discovered his gaze, Shen Ruojing’s peach blossom eyes looked at him and her lips curled. “Mr. Chu, if you keep looking at me like that, I might misunderstand.”
Chu Cichen was startled, and he quickly retracted his gaze.
However, his ears gradually turned red.
He looked straight ahead before slowly speaking, “Miss Shen, do you like pinching your chin every time you ponder over a problem?”
Shen Ruojing’s finger trembled. “Hmm, this is a small habit of mine.”
Lu Cheng continued, “If you keep pinching, would your chin become sharper? I don’t why, but people nowadays like sharp chins. I feel that round chins are pretty adorable too! The assistant of the divine doctor is named Ye Lu. Bro Chen, you have not met her before, but Shen Ruojing, you know who she is, right? Her little round face is so adorable. Oh, right…I forgot to tell you. Ye Lu likes me and she is currently pursuing me!”
Shen Ruojing. “…Stop being narcissistic.”
“I’m not being narcissistic!” Lu Cheng sat up straight and coughed. He held the steering wheel with one hand, while his other hand kept tidying his hair. “I can also be considered one of the top handsome guys in Sea City ever since I was younger, okay? There’s nothing strange if Ye Lu likes me. Also, it is because she likes me that she will bring the divine doctor there to help! If you don’t believe it, just wait. When we arrive at Dugu Xiao’s place, we can see if Ye Lu comes!”
Shen Ruojing’s lips twitched and she suddenly felt an urge to laugh when she thought of the possibility that Lu Cheng’s fantasy might be extinguished later.
Meanwhile, Chu Cichen, who was at the side, stopped thinking further about Shen Ruojing’s habit because Lu Cheng had shifted the topic.
The car soon arrived outside Dugu Xiao’s villa.
Chu Cichen sat in the car and didn’t get out.
It was inappropriate for him to visit Dugu Xiao, so only Shen Ruojing and Lu Cheng got out of the car.
Before Lu Cheng got out, Chu Cichen instructed, “If there’s anything amiss, immediately fire the signal. I will lead the men to rush in and reinforce you.”
“Don’t worry Bro Chen. I’ll protect Shen Ruojing well!”
After Lu Cheng guaranteed this, he returned to Shen Ruojing’s side.
The two of them stood outside the door and lifted their heads to stare at Dugu Xiao’s villa.
This villa was very large, and there was an iron gate at the entrance. The surrounding walls were also very high, exuding a very strong secretive atmosphere.
Just when Shen Ruojing wanted to walk forward to press the bell, Lu Cheng spoke, “Let’s wait for a little while more. The divine doctor isn’t here yet!”
After saying this, another car drove over. After parking at a distance, Ye Lu swiftly walked over.
Lu Cheng heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Ye Lu. After that, he glanced at the car behind her. “Where’s the divine doctor?”
Ye Lu. “…She has already arrived!”
