Chapter 282: Finding a sense of presence in others
Zhou Ci was silent for two seconds, then looked at her, his dark eyes deep and heavy: "What should I say?"
Ruan Xingwan opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to speak, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly realized that I seemed to be trapped.
She quickly closed her mouth, took a sip of the water in front of her, and looked away as if nothing had happened.
Soon, Zhou Cishen's low voice sounded: "Huh?"
At this time, Ruan Xingwan's cell phone just rang, and she quickly answered the call: "Hey, Shanshan...what?
Is the bathroom at home leaking?
Is it so serious? I’ll be back right now!”
The children's English sales pitch on the other end of the phone before he could speak: "..."
After Ruan Xingwan finished speaking, he quickly picked up the things and said, "Mr. Zhou, something happened at home. I have to go back immediately. You don't have to send me off. I can just take a taxi."
Zhou Cishen leaned back in the chair, his arms casually resting on the armrest of the seat next to him, and looked at her with a half-smile: "Do you know how to deal with water leaks?"
Seeing that the words had already reached this point, and the water that was thrown away could not be taken back, Ruan Xingwan could only tell lies with his eyes open: "Just... first like this... and then that's it."
Zhou Cishen asked slowly: "Which one comes first?"
Ruan Xingwan said: "..."
Dog men are so annoying!
She said: "How do I know so much? After I go back and take a look, I will report it for repairs. If it really doesn't work, I can just let Xiao Chen do it."
After Zhou Cishen heard this, he immediately stood up, took his coat and said, "It's troublesome to report for repair, I'll go with you."
Ruan Xingwan's eyes widened: "No... no need..."
"You should, don't be polite to me, that's how a boyfriend should be used."
Zhou Cishen paused, then smiled, "Now, I am right, right?"
Ruan Xingwan's face turned red and she remained silent for a long time.
Dog men quite like giving themselves titles.
Zhou Cishen held her hand and said, "Let's go."
Ruan Xingwan said as he walked, and retorted in a low voice: "What... you are your boyfriend, I didn't promise you."
Zhou Cishen said: "I agreed."
"...You shouldn't say you heard the voice in my heart again, right?"
Zhou Cishen raised his eyebrows without commenting.
Ruan Xingwan regretted saying it. Didn't she bring it upon herself?
never mind.
There's no point in trying to quibble now.
When the car parked downstairs in the community, Ruan Xingwan was about to open the car door and leave when he saw Zhou Cishen unbuckle his seat belt.
After meeting Ruan Xingwan's gaze, he said calmly: "Isn't there a leak in your house? I'll go check it out for you."
Ruan Xingwan sneered. The dog man knew that it was her excuse, but now it became his excuse.
After a few seconds, Ruan Xingwan said: "Mr. Zhou, I want to discuss something with you."
Zhou Cishen looked sideways at her but didn't respond. He knew without even thinking that she couldn't say what he wanted to hear.
Ruan Xingwan ignored him and continued: "I don't live in that house alone. Mr. Zhou can't just go there whenever he wants. You will disturb others."
Zhou Cishen tapped his slender fingers on the steering wheel, and then said: "Then you move out, and I'll rent you a house."
"……No, thanks."
After hearing her refusal, Zhou Cishen added: "Or you can move back to Xinghu Mansion."
Ruan Xingwan refused without thinking: "No."
"Why?
Don’t you think it’s inconvenient for someone else to be here?”
She took a deep breath: "I just think it's inconvenient for you to go. As long as you don't go, I will be very comfortable living here."
Zhou Cishen frowned and said displeasedly: "But I don't feel comfortable."
"Oh, then this is your problem, you need to overcome it."
Zhou Cishen: "..."
While he wasn't paying attention, Ruan Xingwan opened the car door and left quickly.
When he trotted to the elevator door, Ruan Xingwan still had a faint smile on his lips.
But when the elevator door opened, she couldn't help but laugh.
Lin Zhiyi stood in the elevator, folded her hands on her chest, and glanced at her very indifferently. Seeing that she was standing there motionless, she said sarcastically: "Why don't Miss Ruan come in?"
Ruan Xingwan pursed her lips and remained silent for two seconds before lifting her legs and walking into the elevator.
As the elevator slowly rose, Lin Zhiyi said: "Miss Ruan is really good at it. Think about how much Cishen hated you before you divorced. But now, everyone knows that he is chasing you again. Are you
Feeling proud?
But I advise Miss Ruan not to be too happy. Your remarriage is not a happy story. One is a despised illegitimate child, and the other is the daughter of a gambler. They are worthy, but they are just a joke for others after tea and dinner.
That’s all.”
Hearing this, Ruan Xingwan laughed a little: "Miss Lin's upbringing is really engraved in her bones. She has an illegitimate child every time. Has Miss Lin forgotten how you tried every means to get married to Zhou Cishen?"
Lin Zhiyi sneered coldly: "My methods are indeed not as clever as yours. I am willing to marry Zhou Cishen, but it is only for the sake of the Zhou family's face. Otherwise, is he worthy of being an illegitimate child?"
"As Miss Lin said, the marriage between you and Zhou Cishen was only because of the Zhou family. But the Zhou family has more than one son, Zhou Cishen. So why did Miss Lin fall in love with him alone?"
Ruan Xingwan's words did not give Lin Zhiyi any face at all, and made her as embarrassed as she wanted.
How could she not know what Lin Zhiyi was thinking? If she had no interest in Zhou Cishen and it was just a business marriage, she would not have deliberately said those words in front of her that they were about to get married but were forced to separate.
And when Zhou Cishen and Lin Zhiyi broke off their engagement, the Lin family asked her to marry Zhou Junnian, but she made it clear that she was unwilling.
Although Lin Zhiyi looks gentle and generous with a smile on the outside, she is extremely proud on the inside.
The reason why she is willing to be so close to Daniel now is not necessarily because she likes him. It is most likely that she is enjoying his pursuit. It is not ruled out that she wants to use Daniel to get rid of her marriage with the Zhou family.
.
Lin Zhiyi is very smart and ambitious, but she likes to find her presence in others.
In Pei Shanshan's words, it is extremely hypocritical.
At this time, the elevator stopped, Ruan Xingwan said nothing, nodded slightly to Lin Zhiyi and left.
After returning home, Ruan Xingwan closed the door, stood there and took a long breath.
Hearing the sound at the door, Pei Shanshan poked her head out and said, "You're back?
How was your date today?"
Ruan Xingwan made a shushing gesture towards her, then looked through the monitor on the wall and saw Lin Zhiyi ringing Daniel's doorbell.
Seeing this, Pei Shanshan came over and saw this scene. She couldn't help but curl her lips: "Bah!"
Ruan Xingwan took her hand and walked into the living room: "Don't worry about it."
