On the screen in the video room, the plot gradually became more routine.
Jian Zhiyan started to feel sleepy.
Before falling asleep, Jian Zhiyan glanced at Lu Yin. His left leg was resting on his right leg, and he was sitting very straight. The light and shadow changed, but he remained motionless.
Aware of the gaze beside him, Lu Yin turned his head and said, "Are you sleepy?"
"Um."
Jian Zhiyan moved to the side, trying to distance herself from the man, guarding the armrest of the sofa, and leaned her face against it.
After falling into a trance, Jian Zhiyan slowly woke up. The screen was dark, and the bottom light shone with cold white light. It was the only light source in the room, but the light source was not bright enough, which made Jian Zhiyan a little confused.
Dimly.
"woke up?"
The man's mellow voice came from above his head.
Jian Zhiyan propped up his body and looked over. The blackout curtains had been opened, but because it was already dark outside, there was still an unspeakable silence in the room without the lights on.
Lu Yin stood by the window, with his back to her, and the neon light and shadow outlined the man's slender figure.
Jian Zhiyan walked over and stood side by side with him, and together they looked at the night view outside the window.
Looking down from the height of the thirty-sixth floor, the city's sea of lights gives a quiet and majestic feeling.
"Have you finished watching the movie? Why didn't you wake me up?" Jian Zhiyan said.
"Why are you so anxious? It's only around seven o'clock now." Lu Yin said.
Jian Zhiyan asked back, "Don't you have a meeting tonight?"
"To be exact, the meeting should have started half an hour ago."
Lu Yin said this, but his expression didn't really care. Not only did he not care, his eyes were soft, and he seemed to have a posture of "waiting for you to wake up is the most important thing in the world."
Jian Zhiyan suspected that she might be wrong several times, but thinking that the people still waiting in the conference room were the directors and producers she had been asking for, she couldn't help but feel a little vain for a moment.
After a moment, reason returned.
Jian Zhiyan: "You should be busy, I'm going back."
Lu Yin: "The driver is waiting for you downstairs."
She wouldn't let her go even when she was sleepy. Lu Yin was so mean-spirited, but he wasn't completely evil. He arranged a car for her to take her home.
Jian Zhiyan said, okay, picked up the bag, said goodbye, turned around and walked out.
Lu Yin didn't send it off, and his eyes didn't even linger. He smiled plainly, and his decisive and beautiful back disappeared by the door, which made him suddenly come to a conclusion.
One of the reasons why Jian Zhiyan suits his taste is that she is not clingy. From top to bottom, this girl exudes a sense of sobriety, is not easily moved, and does not even rely on the outside world to provide emotional value.
He likes this kind of woman.
He likes to play with people who can afford it.
…
When Jian Zhiyan got home, it was only 8:30 in the evening. She took a shower first and then ordered a takeaway.
While waiting, she turned on her computer and checked her work email.
After being absent from work for an afternoon, Lawyer Fan wouldn't say anything, but the backlog of work was there. If he didn't do it today, he would have to work overtime tomorrow. Jian Zhiyan accepted his fate and started to deal with it one by one.
OA system, to-do items, and approval process...
The work content is trivial and boring.
When the takeaway arrived, she used her desk as a dining table and ate while cooking. In the meantime, Song Ange came online, and she asked a few questions. She was finishing the work until midnight.
It was time to go to bed, and Jian Zhiyan was no longer sleepy. She was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, but she was not sleepy. She was irritated, and the phone beside her pillow suddenly lit up.
Who sent her a message so late?
Jian Zhiyan turned over, stretched out her arm, and randomly touched the phone. When she held it in front of her eyes, the fluorescent light made her squint her eyes.
But soon, she sat up.
Lu Yin: [Your things were left in my car.]
There is a photo attached at the back, showing a big hand holding the work badge and making way for the middle area.
Because, in the center of the card, was a formal photo. Even if the person taking the photo had cold eyebrows, it could not stop the fact that she was beautiful.
Jian Zhiyan covered her face and thought back.
Maybe it was because I was still sleepy when I got off the car, and things in my pocket fell out in a daze.
I'll need it at work tomorrow.
Full of helplessness, she asked: "Should I go get it, or should you send it over?"
Lu Yin didn't reply immediately. Jian Zhiyan stared at the phone screen quietly, looking at the time numbers. 1:57 jumped to 1:59, and the WeChat message was pushed over.
Lu Yin: [I’ll deliver it to you tomorrow morning. At seven o’clock, you go downstairs to get it. 】
Jian Zhiyan replied, threw away the phone, and lay down straight on the bed.
Time passed silently for a minute in the darkness.
The quiet man suddenly got angry and stretched out the quilt, covered his head and screamed.
"so annoying!"
…
Jian Zhiyan got up at seven o'clock in the morning and went downstairs on time.
This was earlier than the time she usually got up to go to work. She didn't get enough sleep and had some energy to wake up. When Jian Zhiyan was wrapped in a big down jacket and looking for a silver-topped Maybach on the side of the road, her face was full of reluctance.
The car spotted her first, slowly turned around from the opposite side, and drove over.
Jian Zhiyan bit her lip and walked to the back door. Unexpectedly, the driver opened the door first.
"Good morning, Miss Jian, this is your work badge. Mr. Lu asked me to bring it over."
The driver got out of the car and handed over the card respectfully.
Facing a stranger, Jian Zhiyan quickly calmed down her annoyance. She thanked the driver in a friendly manner and took her work badge. At the same time, she was thinking that there were so many drivers and bodyguards around Lu Yin, how could she come to see him off in person?
Zhang Gongpai.
She really thinks too much.
"Thank you Mr. Lu for me too." She gestured with her work badge and turned to go upstairs.
"Ms. Jian," the driver stopped her, "Actually, Mr. Lu was on a business trip this morning."
Um?
Jian Zhiyan paused for a moment and didn't react at first until the driver had already driven away.
Jian Zhiyan turned around, stood with arms folded for a while, and tilted her head in confusion——
Is this... some kind of explanation?
So, why explain.
Are you afraid that she will be disappointed because she didn't see Lu Yin, or are there too many women who are disappointed by this, and the driver also regards himself as one of them?
The answer is unknown.
…
A week has passed since Lu Yin went on a business trip.
Jian Zhiyan didn't know if that guy was back. Of course, regardless of whether Lu Yin came back or not, as long as others didn't show up, the "fake boyfriend" plan could start.
Jian Zhiyan's mood was relaxed and happy.
But Fu Zhengwei was not very good. He made two appointments with Jian Zhiyan, but was declined both times.
When Fu Zhengwei was rejected again for the third time, he couldn't bear it anymore. He found an empty conference room and called Jian Zhiyan in.
"Is there something I haven't done well enough recently? If I haven't done something well, you can tell me and I can change it."
Jian Zhiyan's eyes widened, "No, you, you have always been good, there is nothing to change."
"Then you asked me to pretend to be your boyfriend..." Fu Zhengwei said a little hurt, "Why haven't we dated recently?"
