Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 528 - 529 But, You Didn’t Reject Me 2

Zhou Yunchen walked over, bending slightly. "What ’why’?"

Her attitude was somewhat cold. "I was drunk."

"Yes." His voice was a bit hoarse. "But, Congwen... you didn’t reject me."

Shen Congwen pressed her lips together. After a long moment, she whispered, "Let’s just pretend it never happened."

After saying that, she got up and went into the bathroom.

She needed to calm down.

But when she looked into the mirror, how could she possibly remain calm—

She was unmistakably wearing... Zhou Yunchen’s shirt!

Her face flushed an unbidden red, and she felt a surge of anger towards him. He was a downright bandit, a robber, completely disregarding her wishes!

Shen Congwen splashed cold water on her face, trying to wash away her embarrassment, but the shameless man obviously had no intention of letting her go. He followed her into the bathroom, and then the bathroom door was shut.

The bathroom wasn’t small. But with two people squeezed inside, it suddenly felt cramped.

Zhou Yunchen embraced her from behind, burying his face in the curve of her neck and shoulder, murmuring softly, "Congwen, I like this very much."

Shen Congwen froze, looking at the two of them in the mirror, feeling somewhat dazed.

Zhou Yunchen’s voice grew even hoarser. "Stay with me, okay?"

Shen Congwen lowered her gaze. "Zhou Yunchen, do you even know what you’re saying?"

She turned her head, forcing a light laugh. "Look at you. You’re successful, handsome, and so many young girls adore you..."

She was suddenly pulled into his arms. The man, nearly thirty, was acting like a large, fawning dog. "After all this time, you’re still going to play dumb with me!"

He ground out, his voice tight with frustration, "Shen Congwen, dare you say you felt nothing at all?"

"I drank too much; I don’t remember," Shen Congwen said calmly, then pushed at Zhou Yunchen’s shoulder. "You shouldn’t be like this."

But the more she pushed, the less he budged.

Then, Zhou Yunchen chuckled, low and husky. "Congwen, since you’re unwilling, I’ll just have to resort to other means."

Shen Congwen was about to speak, but soon, she lost the chance to say anything at all...

...

At two in the afternoon, Shen Congwen was sitting in a café. Her shirt collar and sleeves were meticulously buttoned, and she even wore a tie.

She was waiting for Gu Anxi.

When Gu Anxi sauntered in, she found Shen Congwen sitting there, looking pensive and composed.

Gu Anxi watched her quietly for a moment, a faint smile playing on her lips—

Shen Congwen was indeed very attractive. No wonder Zhou Yunchen was getting impatient. She was bundled up so meticulously, truly impeccable!

Zhou Yunchen, too, was quite something!

Gu Anxi sat down with her laptop. She had just come from the Disney branch office and hadn’t even had time to go home before receiving Shen Congwen’s call.

Shen Congwen ordered a drink for her—annoyingly, it was Gu Anxi’s favorite.

Gu Anxi smiled. "It seems Zhou Yunchen’s influence on you is quite significant."

"It has nothing to do with him! One naturally remembers things after observing enough," Shen Congwen replied coolly.

Gu Anxi listened, still smiling, her gaze fixed pointedly on Shen Congwen’s neck. Shen Congwen immediately fell for it, her fingers fluttering to her neck... Was there a spot she hadn’t covered?

Gu Anxi snickered inwardly but kept her expression perfectly serious. "I know why you’re looking for me. You want me to manage Zhou Yunchen, right? Oh, Congwen, you know Zhou Yunchen is a thirty-year-old man who’s finally found a woman. My dad probably wouldn’t have the heart to discipline him. If I interfere and he complains to my father, Dad will likely break my legs for jeopardizing Zhou Yunchen’s happiness for the rest of his life."

Her words were laden with insinuation!

Even though Shen Congwen had long known Gu Anxi and Zhou Yunchen were cut from the same unorthodox cloth, she was still shocked by her at times.

Look at her, just look at her! Such audacity! Did she still resemble that sweet, innocent little thing from Bo Xichen’s family?

Shen Congwen now felt she shouldn’t have sought out Gu Anxi in the first place.

See? It only served to make her more disgusted.

She and Zhou Yunchen were thick as thieves!

Shen Congwen hadn’t remembered before, but now it all came back to her. Back when she was studying in England, a very distinguished-looking man had brought an incredibly beautiful little girl to visit Zhou Yunchen. That little girl must have been Gu Anxi! So innocent and pure back then! Nothing like the Gu Anxi of today, full of mischief.

No wonder Zhou Yunchen often lost his temper with her, calling her a ’little wretch,’ and Mr. Wang supposedly called her a ’little rascal’!

As Shen Congwen prepared to leave, Gu Anxi called out, "Congwen."

Shen Congwen stopped and turned around.

Gu Anxi sat bathed in sunlight, speaking softly, "Zhou Yunchen is serious."

She looked at Shen Congwen, a faint smile on her face. "Do you want to hear his story?"

Shen Congwen hesitated. Reason told her to stay away from these two, but her feet seemed rooted to the spot—

Eventually, she sat back down.

Gu Anxi leaned back in her chair, cradling her drink, her expression somewhat dim.

This was Zhou Yunchen’s pain. It wouldn’t be easy for Gu Anxi to speak of it, but she thought telling Shen Congwen might give her a completely new understanding of him.

Zhou Yunchen hadn’t always been so strong. His childhood had been nothing but cruel.

He was a child abandoned by everyone, until Gu Yuntian took him in...

Gu Anxi finished her story calmly. For a long while, Shen Congwen said nothing.

Gu Anxi began softly, "Congwen, I’ve known you for a very long time. Long enough that even when I was very young, I could sense you liked Zhou Yunchen. I’m not asking you to pity him, but... he can’t bear being abandoned."

She paused. "If he’s abandoned repeatedly, he might truly give up. I’m afraid you’ll regret it then."

Deep in Zhou Yunchen’s heart lay an invisible wound, unknown to others; only Gu Anxi understood.

And if Shen Congwen and Zhou Yunchen crossed that line, any further abandonment would be utterly devastating, beyond redemption.

It wasn’t a matter of whether youth could wait; rather, the old wounds in Zhou Yunchen’s heart would reopen.

Between them, Zhou Yunchen might appear to be the stronger one, but in reality, he was the fragile one.

And Shen Congwen was the one person who could hurt him the most.

Gu Anxi admitted she was being a little biased, but Zhou Yunchen would more than make it up to Shen Congwen for any of Gu Anxi’s partiality.

If Shen Congwen still decided to refuse him, then between them... it would be best to let things be.

After finishing, Gu Anxi went over and hugged a stunned Shen Congwen, and deployed her signature ’sweet innocent girl’ routine: "I still hope you two can be together. Zhou Yunchen likes you, and I like you too."

If she could, she would have liked to give her a kiss, but then she remembered Shen Congwen was Zhou Yunchen’s woman. Better not, or her own legs might get broken...

Caught in Gu Anxi’s sudden embrace, Shen Congwen didn’t have time to react before she was held tight.

And Gu Mingzhu, who had just walked in, witnessed this scene and immediately exploded with rage!

Gu Anxi snatched Brother Xichen, snatched Mr. Wang, and lured away Fang Ming. And now, even Congwen couldn’t escape her venomous clutches! She... she was just too much!
