Chapter 328: Chapter 328 Reluctance
"Mm, okay." After responding, Jiang Cheng got into the car sent by Major General Xiang Dong, intending to return to the Sheraton Hotel.
And upon returning to the Sheraton Hotel, he also received a call from Major General Xiang Dong, in which he was informed that he had been nominated as the minister of the National Gene Evolution Department and would require Jiang Cheng’s assistance in solving any future issues.
Regarding matters of the Genetic Evolution Department, Jiang Cheng had no problems resolving them, so he readily agreed to Major General Xiang Dong’s small request.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Cheng lay on the bed, feeling quite lost.
It’s been so many days, and he truly missed Guan Xiaofei and Su Qianqian. Oddly enough, Xia Xiaowei and Zhang Manlin’s faces also appeared before Jiang Cheng.
Shaking his head to dispel those useless thoughts completely, Jiang Cheng directly dialed Guan Xiaofei and Su Qianqian’s numbers.
It’s been so many days, I haven’t even made a single call to the two women, really not fulfilling my responsibility.
Hello? "Jiang Cheng, hubby?" Guan Xiaofei’s pleasant voice was transmitted clearly from the other end of the line.
Jiang Cheng had called Su Qianqian’s phone; he knew Su Qianqian and Guan Xiaofei were inseparable, so calling either one was the same.
"It’s me." Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
Ah! Sister, come quickly, it’s a call from hubby! Come and listen to hubby’s voice." Su Qianqian shouted excitedly; Jiang Cheng could even imagine her waving and calling her sister on the other end. Su Qianqian’s reaction was unexpectedly big, leaving Jiang Cheng a little caught off guard. Had he known the women’s reactions would be so intense, he would have found time to make countless calls.
Hubby?" Guan Xiaofei’s somewhat shy voice came through the phone, making Jiang Cheng’s smile even brighter.
Jiang Cheng had always loved Guan Xiaofei dearly; her shy and cute personality made Jiang Cheng want to cherish her. "Compared to her somewhat outgoing sister, Guan Xiaofei was as gentle as water. Although their relationship was already confirmed, Jiang Cheng always felt as if they were still dating.
Yes, dating.
This feeling, Jiang Cheng had almost forgotten. Despite having a mature heart due to past experiences, he was able to relive that first love feeling with Guan Xiaofei.
"Xiaofei, have you missed me lately, hubby?" Jiang Cheng teased, his magnetic voice seemingly carrying magic, making Guan Xiaofei’s heart flutter.
No... No way." Guan Xiaofei said word by word, but in truth, her sleep had been troubled for days, as she recalled the good old times when she and Jiang Cheng shared romantic moments, always feeling a bit hot at night.
Jiang Cheng naturally knew Guan Xiaofei was pretending to be strong, but he still wanted to tease her, so he said, "Xiaofei, since you haven’t missed me, then I feel relieved. There’s something serious I need to tell you." When Jiang Cheng said this, his tone suddenly became very serious, and because the phone was on speaker mode, both women could clearly hear Jiang Cheng’s words. "Both Guan Xiaofei and Su Qianqian perked up, eager to hear what Jiang Cheng would say next.
A serious matter, what is it?
If even hubby thinks it’s serious, then how serious can it be?
They certainly weren’t expecting Jiang Cheng to be joking because his tone was so serious, and he normally didn’t joke around like this, so they didn’t think in that direction.
Ah, actually just hearing your voices makes me satisfied. I don’t even know if we’ll be able to meet again." The seriousness in Jiang Cheng’s tone suddenly vanished, replaced by a kind of wistful tone, appearing deeply sorrowful.
Listening to Jiang Cheng’s words, the women couldn’t help but feel something was terribly wrong, their bodies tense, and Su Qianqian finally couldn’t hold back; she wanted to cry out, saying loudly, "Hubby, hubby, are you leaving us?"
Seeing her sister’s anxious state, Guan Xiaofei’s eyes also turned red, though she didn’t cry out loud, feeling weak all over.
From hubby’s words, does it mean he might not come back?
What does this mean for the future, whether we’ll meet again or not?
At this point, they felt as if the sky was about to fall. If indeed they couldn’t meet Jiang Cheng in the future, they weren’t sure how they’d carry on.
Even in just a few days, they had become extremely fond of Jiang Cheng, if Jiang Cheng left, what would become of them?
They couldn’t imagine, nor did they dare to think.
On the other end of the call, Jiang Cheng was imagining the women’s expressions, holding back his laughter, pretending to be solemn, saying, "Ah, hubby, due to the Genetic Evolution Potion theory, has caught the eye of number one’s daughter. I’ll be taking on the role of minister of the Evolution Department and staying in Beijing. When number one’s daughter heard I had you two accompanying me in Luo City, she directly grounded me, not knowing when I’ll be able to see you again."
Jiang Cheng’s words told a rather tragic story, and as it entered Su Qianqian’s ears, she quickly realized Jiang Cheng was definitely kidding, but the simple Guan Xiaofei thought differently.
Hearing such a twisted, bizarre story, imagining possibly never seeing her hubby Jiang Cheng again, Guan Xiaofei couldn’t resist the tears, and she burst into tears, her beautiful lashes covered in droplets.
Qianqian, didn’t you say you didn’t miss me? Well...Ah, just as you wished then, maybe I won’t come back." Jiang Cheng sighed deeply.
Seeing her younger sister crying for hubby, Su Qianqian almost couldn’t stop laughing; only her simple sister would be deceived by hubby Jiang Cheng; listening to hubby’s tone, it didn’t at all seem like a real story.
Surely he’s fooling us both!
So, Su Qianqian burst into laughter, telling the other side, "Hubby, don’t make me laugh anymore. Where in the world would there be such a dramatic and strange story? My sister is heartbreakingly sad, stop joking, stop joking.
