Chapter 1227: Awakened 7
After about five minutes, Cheng Junnan finally hung up the phone.
Jiang Meili hesitated for a moment, wanting to speak, but before she could, she saw Cheng Junnan suddenly raise his eyes and look at her.
"Isn’t it quite incredible?"
Cheng Junnan smiled slightly, his handsome and gentle face showing a tender, fragmented smile, his jet-black eyes particularly deep.
"If it were before, I would also find it incredible, but now... I just want to follow where my heart leads me."
Jiang Meili was momentarily stunned, and after a while, she slowly opened her mouth, her voice gentle and tinged with a subtle melancholy.
"President Cheng, Second Miss Mu is already married."
Cheng Junnan nodded with a smile, his voice mild and pleasant.
"Yes, not only do you know, I know; now almost everyone in Shengjing knows, even across the entire Xia Country, but, as I just mentioned, whether I like it or not is my business."
Before Jiang Meili could speak, Cheng Junnan laughed and looked at Jiang Meili.
"Secretary Jiang, put the files here, sit down, and chat with me!"
Jiang Meili was momentarily startled, but she still complied and placed the files on Cheng Junnan’s desk, then walked over to the lounge area.
Cheng Junnan also stood up, walked briskly to the lounge area, made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Meili, and sat down.
"If I remember correctly, Secretary Jiang is thirty years old this year and still unmarried."
Jiang Meili was slightly stunned, a slightly embarrassed look flashing across her face.
A tale of tears for every unmarried young woman of age.
"I heard Secretary Jiang once had a boyfriend she was very fond of, they were each other’s first love, but later he went abroad to study, and they became long-distance."
Jiang Meili never imagined that one day her superior would actually talk to her about her romantic issues.
Her eyelashes gently trembled for a moment, Jiang Meili smiled, her expression gentle.
"That did happen, but after he went abroad, our contact gradually dwindled. Less than a year after he left, we almost lost touch. I was twenty-five at the time, he was twenty-six. Three years later, he returned, and at that time I happened to be at the airport picking you up, just coincidentally ran into him."
Cheng Junnan thought for a moment, as if remembering something, squinting.
"I recall that you told me back then that you got sand in your eyes, and then when you returned to the company, it was the first time you asked for leave."
Jiang Meili nodded, her voice faint.
"Yes, that day at the airport, I not only saw him, but thought that even if we broke up, I deserved a reason. Then... the reason was quite clear, accompanying him back to the country was my good friend, the two holding hands, blissfully happy!"
"Not only that, my good friend told me she was pregnant, so they got together!"
Cheng Junnan raised his eyebrows, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"Was it because of the child that he abandoned you?"
Jiang Meili shook her head with a smile, still calm in demeanor.
"It was because of the child that he returned to establish himself, and that child, not even two months old, was still in my good friend’s belly!"
Cheng Junnan: "..."
Clearly it was a change of heart, yet he found such a ridiculous excuse about having a child, truly absurd!
"Counting back, it was from a few years ago. Why is Secretary Jiang still single now? There are many young talents in the company, and many pursuing Secretary Jiang too. Has Secretary Jiang never considered it?"
