Chapter 380 - Goodbye, Jiang Jingcheng
Chapter 380 Goodbye, Jiang Jingcheng
When Assistant Liu disappeared from Jiang Jingcheng’s sight, she finally had a breakdown. She squatted down slowly, buried her head in her knees and burst out crying.
She never had a romantic relationship during university. The reason was not because her parents did not allow her to date with someone or she did not have enough time, but because she never had any special feeling on every male in her university. In addition, she never felt her heart racing for someone like other girls.
Hence, she kept single all the time. Sometimes she even wondered if she was frigid.
She even planned that when she was of marriageable age, she would randomly find a man who was not bad to start a family and spend the rest of her life with him!
However, when she met Jiang Jingcheng for the first time, she felt her heart beating faster. She was too shy to see him. However, she peeped at him compulsively.
At that occasion, she was pretty sure that she was not frigid and she could have a crush on someone that was Jiang Jingcheng!
After that, she couldn’t help approaching him intentionally at work. Sometime she even wanted to hide him so that other women couldn’t have the chance to get close to him.
Then, she took breakfast to him, filled his cup with hot water secretly, and found chances to talk to him. Every single thing she did for him would make her so happy.
As the time went by, she found that Jiang Jingcheng would smile at her, say hello to her when they met each other and even help her to solve troubles at work. She didn’t know when it started.
She had been hesitated for a long time and eventually made up her mind. At one weekend, standing in front of Jiang Jingcheng, she summoned up courage and said directly, “Jiang Jingcheng, would you like to see a movie tonight?”
No one knew she had run out of all her strength and she just kept herself not to fall on the ground.
“If you go to the movie with me, I will agree.” Jiang Jingcheng said in a calm tone.
Assistant Liu couldn’t believe her ears when she heard that. He agreed! He agreed! She secretly pinched her palm with her fingernails. The tingling from the palm told her clearly that she was not dreaming!
In the following days, they often had meals, went shopping, and watched movies together. Sometimes he would lose in touch or secretly answer the phone, but she didn’t care. She was drowning in love, so she never asked him who was on the phone.
In her view, she was so flattered that Jiang Jingcheng could be her boyfriend. She shouldn’t desire to gain too much!
After that, when they started the project on the south of the city, Jiang Jingcheng was subject to changing moods. He was often alone in a daze. Assistant Liu thought it was because he was under tremendous pressure.
She was so worried, but she couldn’t do anything. All she could do was to look after him and support him.
It was not until that day that she discovered his true colors. That day was a nightmare to her. The project plan was disclosed. As the one that had the opportunity to have access to the project plan, Jiang Jingcheng just disappeared. It was obvious that he was the spy who destroyed the whole studio.
She didn’t want to accept the fact. However, she knew exactly he was the spy according to his abnormal behaviors.
The one she loved just disappeared overnight. During those days, she couldn’t eat or sleep. His face still kept surging in her head. Sometimes he was indifferent. Sometimes he was gentle. Eventually, his image became much vaguer!
It was not until this time that Assistant Liu suddenly discovered that she knew nothing about him except his name, age and the identity of a returnee. Everything about him was unknown to her.
She had to admit the fact that she had been used by him!
She had tried all her efforts to forget him, but she did not expect that he just showed up abruptly like that!
He now became decadent and haggard. Looking at him, she thought she would never feel heartbroken for him, but she failed.
She also didn’t expect that he said nothing to explain and didn’t say anything about his feelings to her. What he did was to make a request!
When she thought of the request, she felt increasingly numb and her heart grew colder and colder. “Is it not enough for you to take advantage of me? How dare you try to get President Gu’s whereabouts from me?” She thought.
Assistant Liu was really glad that she didn’t know where Gu Yan was, or she was not sure if she would tell that bastard out of impulse!
She thought she was so lowly when she felt heartbroken for him even if he did that to her. She couldn’t face him calmly.
On one hand, she knew she couldn’t let bygones be bygones forever, and on the other hand, she knew that she could never be with that man again!
The scenes about their first meeting, talking, dating, holding hands, and kissing in the past constantly flashed in her mind. These scenes were like movies played over and over again in her mind. At the end, all these beautiful pictures broke up. Only tears were left on her face.
“Goodbye, Jiang Jingcheng!”
Assistant Liu stood up slowly and walked into the night.
…
Jiang Jingcheng was still watching Assistant Liu’s receding figure. He felt so sad and he just wanted to rush to her and to tell her everything.
He knew that he had fallen in love with her. He didn’t even know when he began to miss those days they spent together and get used to her soft and warm cares.
These days he thought of her more than once at midnight, but he had to suppress his feelings to her. Now he couldn’t be with her because he was still guilty. He owed her a real apology.
He decided that he would tell her everything and make up for her after he solved the whole thing. “Liu, wait for me.” He said to himself.
