After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.
Chapter 53: No wonder he was disappointed.
Assistant Lin was in a terrible predicament, still trying to plead: "Madam, but..."
Ji Nianci interrupted him directly: "If you don't want to, I'll just take a taxi there myself and put me down."
"Hey, no, no, no!" Lin Cheng panicked as soon as he heard her say she was getting out of the car and quickly said, "Let's go now, let's go now."
Taking advantage of Ji Nianci's inattention, he quickly took out his phone and sent a message to Shen Ceyan:
Sir, Madam just asked me where you were, and I told her you were busy at the company. Then she said she wanted to come to the company to find you, and I couldn't stop her no matter what I did!
Shen Ceyan replied quickly: Let her come over.
Sigh, those two really only know how to mess with him.
Lin Chengzhang sighed, feeling like crying but having no tears.
On the other side, Shen Ceyan floored the accelerator and sped towards the company.
……
After arriving at the company, Ji Nianci immediately went to the president's office. Upon opening the door, she saw Shen Ceyan working inside.
The man's face was as still as water, calm and undisturbed, like a bottomless lake or an unchanging iceberg. It was as if no matter what earth-shattering event occurred, he could remain calm and composed, maintaining his usual composure and serenity.
Ji Nianci wasn't surprised and went straight inside.
Assistant Lin tactfully left.
Inside the office, the two remained silent for a moment.
Shen Ceyan coughed lightly and spoke first: "Why did you come here? Aren't you going home to rest?"
"Assistant Lin said you've been very busy these past few days and haven't had much time, so I came to see you." Ji Nianci seemed a little nervous for some reason, and unconsciously twisted her clothes.
"Yes, I've been quite busy these past few days." Shen Ceyan remained seated, showing no intention of getting up to greet her.
There was a sense of loss in remembering Ci.
"Actually, I can explain that matter."
"..."
"Yesterday I wasn't..."
"Alright, Niannian," Shen Ceyan interrupted her. "You've just been discharged from the hospital and need to rest. Go back first. I also have a lot of work to do here. Let's talk about these things later."
Seeing that Shen Ceyan didn't seem to want to see her, Ji Nianci panicked a little.
"Shen Ceyan, let me explain..."
"Explain what? What can you explain?" Shen Ceyan finally couldn't control his emotions. He was particularly prone to losing control when facing Ji Nianci.
"You're not just going to say things like, 'This is your own business,' and then promise me you'll tell me everything that happens in the future, right? Niannian, I'm not listening to you anymore. Haven't I told you before that I don't have much patience?"
“I…” Ji Nianci wanted to say something, but stopped. Indeed, all she could say was a few words. As for anything else, she couldn’t say anything more.
Seeing her like this, Shen Ceyan felt even more disheartened.
"Alright, I don't want to argue with you anymore. You should go home and rest. I'll have Lin Cheng take you home."
After saying that, he called Lin Cheng, who was outside the door, in and asked him to take Ji Nianci back.
The two fell silent once again.
Ji Nianci didn't know how to explain it to him for a moment, so she could only follow Lin Cheng, feeling lost and disoriented.
After they left, Shen Ceyan forced himself to refocus on his work, but after looking at the documents in his hand for a long time, he still couldn't remember what was written in them.
He silently put down the document in his hand, raised his hand to rub his temples, then got up, walked to the window, and lit a cigarette.
His smoking habit has become unusually heavy lately.
……
Ci sat quietly in the back seat of the car, her eyes slightly red.
Seeing her like this, Assistant Lin couldn't help but comfort her: "Madam, the master has just been too busy with work these past few days and may not have had time to talk to you. He didn't mean anything by it, so please don't overthink it."
Ji Nianci sniffed, her voice slightly nasal and muffled as she spoke: "Assistant Lin, you don't need to comfort me. I know he's not that busy with work; he just doesn't want to talk to me. I know that."
"..."
Lin Cheng felt it was better for him to remain silent.
Back home, Ji Nianci was still sullen and had no appetite for the food Lin Ma had prepared. She made an excuse to go back upstairs.
As soon as she got back to her bedroom, she completely collapsed onto the bed, buried her head in the blankets, and let out a long sigh.
"Sigh, what should I do? It seems like I'm really finished this time..." She sensed that Shen Ceyan was both angry and disappointed in her, and didn't even want to talk to her anymore. She had never been treated like this by Shen Ceyan before, and for a moment she was at a loss.
In the past, Shen Ceyan always indulged and spoiled her, and she took his kindness for granted.
She had always been the one who ignored Ci, but now it was Shen Ceyan who didn't want to talk to her. It was at this moment that she truly understood how unpleasant it felt to be ignored.
Her sense of guilt intensified.
Thinking of this, she felt even more compelled to do something for Shen Ceyan to make amends to him.
She walked to her desk, turned on her computer, and then opened the Word document titled "Pacifying My Husband Plan".
It was at this moment that Ci Ji discovered that there were only two lonely lines in the document:
I'll cook a hot meal for my husband when he gets off work.
Be more affectionate with your husband.
……
She was silent.
Gradually, she unconsciously began to recall the things she had done since her rebirth.
For so long, she has always said that she would treat Shen Ceyan well and make up for the debt she owed him in her previous life, but all she has ever done is talk and she has rarely taken any real action.
Like this document, she only updated it twice and then never updated it again.
All her attention had been focused on revenge and getting her revenge. She also spent most of her time dealing with Zhou An and Ji Yuying, leaving little time for him and neglecting his feelings. Even when she did cook, she rarely made meals for Shen Ceyan.
Although her actions were motivated by revenge, which is understandable, she had initially vowed to Shen Ceyan that she would always treat him well and make him feel her affection. However, not only did she fail to do so, she also frequently made him feel insecure.
From Shen Ceyan's perspective, after she finished speaking those long and touching words of love to him, she still didn't care much about him and would occasionally meet with her ex-boyfriend. Even when she encountered danger, she didn't want to tell him. She always made him worry about her, as if excluding him, her husband.
It's no wonder Shen Ceyan was disappointed with her.
