My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day-Chapter 556 - 548: Friends Don’t Meet Every Day

She simply stopped and didn’t walk any further.

Chen Jiayan looked at her, his elegant eyes landing on her face as if he was trying to discern the truth of her words.

Xie Baola stared back with a pair of clear, black eyes.

The two of them looked at each other for a good ten seconds.

Seeing that he had no reaction, Xie Baola pouted and said discontentedly, "Fine, don’t carry me then. What kind of friend are you?"

Xie Baola threw off Chen Jiayan’s hand and was about to walk forward.

Chen Jiayan grabbed her wrist, "Wait."

Xie Baola turned back, intentionally making a stern face, "What?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"I’ll carry you."

Chen Jiayan’s voice seemed somewhat helpless.

Xie Baola’s eyebrows barely lifted.

Carry her?

Although Xie Baola was clearly delighted inside, she still protested, "If you think it’s too much trouble, then forget it. After all, I’ve only injured one leg. The other leg is fine, I can still walk."

Looking at Chen Jiayan, Xie Baola earnestly said, "Chen Jiayan, I didn’t want to inconvenience you."

Chen Jiayan let out a sigh.

His face showed some helplessness.

He really had no choice with her.

Then he squatted down in front of Xie Baola.

"It’s not a bother, helping a friend is what I should do."

He said calmly.

Xie Baola smiled gently, observing his strong and smooth backbone.

He slightly bent over, his tight waist carrying a hint of wildness.

He looked very strong.

"Then I really have to thank you, friend."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Baola hopped onto Chen Jiayan’s back.

Chen Jiayan was prepared, but was still staggered forward by Xie Baola’s move.

Xie Baola questioned her life, "Am I too heavy?"

"No."

It was just the impact of her force.

Chen Jiayan carried her towards the end of the alley.

Xie Baola wrapped her arms around Chen Jiayan’s neck, her long legs restlessly swinging in mid-air.

Her face wore a casual, light smile, seemingly very happy.

Chen Jiayan could even hear her laughter near his ear.

She was that happy?

Xie Baola was tall, but her weight was not heavy.

Chen Jiayan found it effortless to carry her.

His face maintained a calm and composed expression.

Upon reaching the car, Chen Jiayan unlocked it with his key.

He helped Xie Baola onto the car.

Chen Jiayan stood by the door frame, looking into the car, and inquired, "Do you want to go to the hospital to check your foot?"

Xie Baola shook her head, "No need to run to the hospital, I’ll just rest a bit."

Chen Jiayan got into the car, "Then I’ll take you home now."

Xie Baola pouted, "But I don’t want to go home yet."

Chen Jiayan asked patiently, "Then where do you want to go?"

Xie Baola’s eyes brightened, "Let’s continue drinking at the stall, we didn’t finish our drinks earlier."

Chen Jiayan glanced at her injured foot, "You still want to drink with an injured foot?"

"Ah, that..." Xie Baola smiled cheerfully, "It doesn’t affect it."

After managing to get Chen Jiayan out, Xie Baola really didn’t want to let him go so soon.

"I still have work tomorrow." Chen Jiayan spoke indifferently, "Are you going back to Begonia Joy Mansion?"

Xie Baola turned her head away, "Yeah."

Chen Jiayan opened the GPS.

The red wine didn’t feel strong at the start, just had a stronger aftereffect.

Xie Baola leaned against the seat, her face towards the window, and the comfortable temperature of the carriage made her feel somewhat sleepy.

When the car stopped at a red light, Xie Baola just happened to open her eyes.

A figure at the intersection broke into her sight, Xie Baola urgently cried, "Stop the car! Quick, stop the car!"

"What happened?"

Seeing Xie Baola’s anxious tone, Chen Jiayan slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road.

Xie Baola unbuckled her seatbelt and chased in the direction where the person had disappeared.

With people coming and going around, the silhouette she pursued had already blended into the crowd, leaving no trace to be found.

Xie Baola sighed.

After that fleeting glance, she felt that the person’s appearance was perfect to be her male lead, but then he was gone.

Xie Baola returned to the car with diminished enthusiasm.

Chen Jiayan slightly squinted his eyes seeing her briskly jump out of the car just now.

Wasn’t she supposed to have an injured foot?

And yet she could run so fast?

Did she mistakenly attach rabbit legs?

When Xie Baola returned to the car, she looked back once more but still saw nothing.

Her eyebrows vaguely betrayed a hint of irritation.

She opened the car door and got in.

While buckling her seatbelt, Xie Baola said, "Let’s go back."

Chen Jiayan’s eyes fell on her foot, with a scrutinizing tone, "Miss Xie, is your foot healed?"

Xie Baola, "..."

Damn!

She had forgotten about that.

"I... um..."

Lying was definitely not right.

Xie Baola bent down, covering her foot, "I was in a rush to find someone just now, didn’t notice it, but it really hurts now."

She frowned, looking like she was enduring the pain.

Chen Jiayan spoke blandly, "Stop pretending."

Xie Baola, "..."

"Fine then."

Xie Baola stopped pretending, "I lied just to have you carry me, but I really was tired of walking."

"..."

Chen Jiayan simply didn’t know what to say to her.

Could such things even be used to deceive someone?

The ride back to Begonia Joy Mansion was utterly silent.

Xie Baola, knowing she was in the wrong, kept silent too.

Having just stepped out into the wind, she now just felt even more dizzy.

Red wine indeed goes to one’s head.

The car stopped outside the gate of her residential community.

Chen Jiayan stopped the car but didn’t turn off the engine.

"We’re here."

Xie Baola slowly opened her eyes, "We’ve arrived already?"

"Yes."

Xie Baola leaned towards him, "So, when will we see each other again?"

Chen Jiayan looked into the thick night ahead, "We’ll know when the time comes."

It was that answer again.

Xie Baola pursed her lips, not quite satisfied with his response.

"If I don’t contact you, you won’t contact me either."

She muttered, her tone somewhat plaintive.

"Friends don’t see each other every day."

Hearing the word ’friends’, Xie Baola was already annoyed.

"Can’t we be different from other friends?"

Chen Jiayan tapped his slender fingers on the steering wheel, "Relationships among friends are like this, how can they be different?"

"From friends to lovers."

Xie Baola propped her chin and gazed at him.

Her eyes almost sticking to his face.

Chen Jiayan unlocked the central lock and told her, "Miss Xie, it’s time for you to get out."

Xie Baola, "..."

Fine.

Xie Baola opened the car door and got out.

The door wasn’t fully closed when she poked her head back in.

"How about coming to my place?"

Xie Baola showed Chen Jiayan a brilliant smile.

"You can have a cup of tea, or drink wine."

"Close the door." He said.

Xie Baola fell silent for two seconds before slamming the car door shut with a "bang".

She turned and walked away.

Chen Jiayan also drove off.

Seeing him really drive away, Xie Baola turned back to look, only to see his car’s taillight disappearing into the distance.

Once Xie Baola got home, she sent a message to Da Pao.
