Chapter 423: Chapter 252 Calming Pill_2

She lifted her head, "Also, every time Sister Lin helped me, she would..."

Chen Cheng pinched her chin, "I’ve told you before, when the time is right, I will look for you."

Yu Xinwei’s cheeks reddened even more; she clearly remembered what Chen Cheng had said, but she couldn’t wait any longer.

Instead of passively waiting, it was better to take the initiative.

"Brother Cheng, I think now is..."

Chen Cheng did not answer directly but countered, "When did it become your turn to decide? Hm?"

Yu Xinwei looked at the domineering arrogance and fierceness in his eyes and shook her head repeatedly, "Brother Cheng... you’ve misunderstood."

"I misunderstood? What game are you playing?"

Yu Xinwei’s heart sank suddenly, realizing that her clever ploy had backfired.

She quickly explained: "No, I didn’t, I just... I just wanted to thank you for your help..."

"Thank you?" Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, "By this method of thanks?"

Yu Xinwei’s cheeks burned even more fiercely; she was so ashamed she wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.

"I... I..." She stammered, unable to speak.

Chen Cheng released her chin, leaned back, and said lazily, "Miss Yu, you should know, I am not lacking in women."

Yu Xinwei’s body trembled slightly; obviously, she knew Chen Cheng wasn’t short of women, but she still harbored a sliver of hope that she could be the exception.

It seemed now that she had been too hopeful.

"I... I know."

"Moreover, the title ’Brother Cheng’ isn’t for you to use." Chen Cheng added, "At least not now."

Yu Xinwei looked at Chen Cheng somewhat fearfully, finally understanding the meaning behind Tong Jialu’s words "Brother Cheng and Sister Lin are different".

Wen Shulin’s method of treating her was mostly turning on the charm physically.

But Chen Cheng, although he made no move, every word he uttered conveyed the pressure of someone superior, making her feel suffocated.

"Mr... Mr. Chen..." Yu Xinwei timidly corrected herself.

Chen Cheng’s lips curved into a smile, his gentle hand caressing her smooth back, "I know what you’re afraid of."

Yu Xinwei bit her lower lip, her eyes flicking towards him.

"Don’t worry, I won’t send you away as an item for a transaction." Chen Cheng slowly said:

"Nor will I make you do things you don’t want to do, I’ll give you enough respect."

Yu Xinwei stared with astonishment, Chen Cheng’s words completely dispelled her concerns.

"You, Tong Jialu, and Xia Yubing, whom I’m not sure if you’ve met, are not just there to please me."

He paused, "I hope that you can work for me like they do. That’s how you show your true value."

Yu Xinwei was utterly stunned; she never expected Chen Cheng to say such a thing.

In her view, for men like Chen Cheng, besides pleasing him, what other value could the women around him have?

"I...I don’t quite understand..." murmured Yu Xinwei.

Chen Cheng smiled, "Isn’t your endorsing my milk tea shop a great start?"

Yu Xinwei suddenly realized, "That’s nothing... and before I came here, I had already shot the endorsement material for your ’Camellia’."

"Just pick a good day, Mr. Chen, and I’ll release the related news."

Chen Cheng patted her thigh, "Doesn’t that sound good?"

He sat upright, hooked Yu Xinwei’s chin, "Don’t be nervous, I am not going to eat you, am I?"

The sharpness in his eyes made Yu Xinwei’s heart tremble.

She found it hard to imagine why Chen Cheng could have so many facets.

The oppressive feeling when dealing with her, the warm and attentive care when facing Meng Wanning, completely different from the same person.

"I understand, Mr. Chen."

Chen Cheng smiled with satisfaction, "Good that you understand."

"Then I..." Yu Xinwei hesitated.

"Speak your mind."

"When can I call you ’Brother Cheng’?"

Just two or three seconds after the words left her mouth, Yu Xinwei suddenly felt the constricting feeling on her back dissipate, replaced by the smile tugging at Chen Cheng’s mouth.

"You and Shulin are quite alike."

"Me... me?"

"Both of you are so impetuous."

Chen Cheng lounged on the sofa, "First, take this calming pill, and we’ll talk about future matters in the future."

Yu Xinwei’s heartbeat accelerated abruptly; she didn’t understand the meaning of Chen Cheng’s statement.

Was he hinting that she still had a chance, or was it merely a polite brush-off?

Tentatively, she asked, "Mr. Chen, do you mean..."

Chen Cheng said indifferently, "I don’t really like bright pink."

Yu Xinwei suddenly lowered her head, instantly understanding in her heart.

She hesitated, then leaned toward Chen Cheng and cautiously delivered that long-awaited kiss.

The moment her soft lips touched Chen Cheng’s, Yu Xinwei’s heartbeat nearly stopped.

This was her first kiss with someone other than Wen Shulin, and Chen Cheng’s initiative was far more dominant than Wen Shulin’s by more than just a little.

Initially awkward, she soon found her passion ignited under Chen Cheng’s offense.

Yu Xinwei’s tension and anxiety gradually dissipated, replaced by an indescribable excitement and thrill.

She wrapped her arms tightly around Chen Cheng’s neck, responding ardently to him.

However, just as she was about to lose herself, Chen Cheng suddenly stopped.

Yu Xinwei looked up dazedly at the man before her, her eyes so watery they could wring out water.

"Mr. Chen... did I not do well?"

Chen Cheng smiled, swept his thumb across her delicate face, and kissed her again.

Yu Xinwei closed her eyes in panic, filled with joy, excitement, and, of course, anxiety and fear.

She didn’t know how far Chen Cheng wanted to go at this moment.

About ten minutes later, Chen Cheng finally took his hand away from Yu Xinwei.

He said calmly, "That’s enough for now."

Yu Xinwei on the couch was breathing slightly, with a dazed look in her eyes and blushing cheeks.

Chen Cheng’s sudden halt left her a bit unprepared, feeling a slight disappointment mixed with a sliver of relief.

At least at that moment, she found that Chen Cheng was indeed a man of his word.

He said he would give her a calming pill and didn’t go any further.

She grabbed her coat from the ground, hastily covered her body, and softly asked, "Mr. Chen, I..."

"No need to overthink."

Chen Cheng seemed to see through her thoughts as he straightened his clothes, "I’ll contact you."

His brief words gave Yu Xinwei a calming pill.

At least, Chen Cheng hadn’t completely rejected her, which ignited a glimmer of hope in her heart.

"I understand, Mr. Chen."

Yu Xinwei nodded obediently, but her heart was in turmoil.

She propped herself up and suddenly thought of something.

So, she picked up a tissue and walked over to Chen Cheng, "Mr. Chen, let me help you wipe it off."

She pointed to the lipstick mark at the corner of Chen Cheng’s mouth, "To avoid your girlfriend noticing."

Chen Cheng watched Yu Xinwei carefully wipe off the lipstick from his mouth. He did not stop her but allowed her to proceed, his lips curling into a faint smile.

"Mr. Chen, it’s done." Yu Xinwei couldn’t hide her shyness.

"Good."

Chen Cheng responded indifferently and casually asked, "How come you’re here?"

"To help my hometown shoot a promotional film."

Chen Cheng looked at her in surprise, "You’re from Qianzhou?"

Yu Xinwei nodded, "My ancestral home is here, but I didn’t grow up here."

"No wonder I didn’t detect an accent."

Yu Xinwei smiled briefly, she also mustered the courage to ask, "Mr. Chen, are you... here for tourism?"

"I came to discuss some business and happened to run into you." Chen Cheng adjusted his clothes in front of the mirror, "That’s it for today, then."

Having said that, he walked towards the door.

Yu Xinwei watched his back, "Chen... Mr. Chen!"

"Is there something else?" Chen Cheng stopped and turned around.

Yu Xinwei stood there blankly, "I... I’m returning to Beijing tomorrow. I’ll be in Beijing for the next two weeks, then I’ll start filming."

"In Hengdian," she hastened to add the location.

Chen Cheng responded after listening, "I got it."

After saying this, he opened the door and left.

Bang.

With the closing of the door, Yu Xinwei collapsed to the ground, her mind blank.

This experience of more than half an hour was like a dream, filled with tension, excitement, and uncertainty.

Chen Cheng’s hot-and-cold, push-and-pull attitude left her puzzled.

And there was another more important question constantly on her mind.

"When... when can I truly call him ’Brother Cheng’?" Yu Xinwei murmured to herself.
