Ruan Xingwan closed her eyes, and after a few minutes she felt the mattress next to her sank slightly.
Then, the man's warm body lay next to her.
Just as Ruan Xingwan was about to move to the bed, Zhou Cishen put an arm across her waist and asked in a low voice: "You wear so much to sleep with a quilt covering you, isn't it hot?"
"……not hot."
is fake.
She was so hot and stuffy now that she was almost suffocated.
Behind her, Zhou Cishen didn't speak anymore, but just hugged her tightly.
After a while, Ruan Xingwan heard the man's even and steady breathing.
She turned her head slightly and whispered tentatively: "Mr. Zhou?"
What answered her was silence.
It seems that he really fell asleep.
Ruan Xingwan breathed a sigh of relief, carefully opened his arm and got out of his arms.
She sat on the bed, looked at the sofa, and then at the sleeping dog man, and finally gave in.
After taking off his coat, Ruan Xingwan lay back down again. When lying down, he tried his best to keep a distance from Zhou Cishen.
Her eyes were wide open, and compared to how sleepy she was just now, she didn't feel sleepy at all now.
But think about it, facing such a powerful opponent, how could her nerves truly relax.
Even if she does enter the Lin family, Lin Zhiyuan and Lin Zhiyi will only be more wary of her.
She wants to find the truth, but it's not that easy.
Just when Ruan Xingwan was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a heavy weight on her waist, and the man's hand accurately placed on her waist again.
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
She said angrily: "Mr. Zhou, don't come any closer, I'm going to fall off the bed."
Zhou Cishen did not answer.
Ruan Xingwan continued: "I know you're not asleep. Hurry up and move over there."
As he said that, he reached out and pushed him.
In the darkness, Zhou Cishen slowly opened his eyes, raised his thin lips, held her hand, and pulled her into his arms: "If you lean a little closer to me, you won't be able to fall. Who let me?"
You must sleep next to the bed."
Ruan Xingwan felt that she really had ten mouths but could not speak to this bitch man. She was silent for a while and said dullly: "I'm sleepy, go to sleep!"
Zhou Cishen hummed softly, but other than hugging her, he didn't do any other excessive actions.
After a long night, the sleepiness that had just disappeared gradually resurfaced. Now Ruan Xingwan struggled to even open her eyes. She originally wanted to sleep on her side, but Zhou Cishen pressed her to his chest.
Listening to the man's steady and powerful heartbeat, Ruan Xingwan fell asleep after a while.
Zhou Cishen kissed her on the forehead and whispered: "Good night."
It seemed like a long time ago when I last held her like this.
…
With the arrival of spring, the temperature is rising every day.
Time passed quickly and the day of the tender meeting arrived.
After Ruan Xingwan changed her clothes, she put on bright and elegant makeup.
After finishing all this, she looked at the time, it was two o'clock in the afternoon.
The bidding meeting started at three o'clock in the afternoon. She went there now, just in time.
When leaving, she picked up her pocket watch and put it in her bag, took a shallow breath, and walked out step by step.
From now on, there is no turning back.
She will persist until the day she finds the truth.
On-site bidding meeting.
Lin Zhiyi looked at the people who kept coming to greet her, with a cold and mocking smile on her lips.
She knew very well what they were thinking.
He just wants to please her and achieve favorable conditions for himself.
The Lin family has just experienced a crisis, and these people are so impatient. Even if something happens to the Lin family, she is still the dignified eldest daughter of the Lin family. Does she deserve these people?
Soon, Lin Zhiyi didn't even want to deal with it anymore. She got the wine glass, found Daniel in the venue, and asked calmly: "How did you go about the investigation I asked you to investigate?"
Daniel took a sip of the champagne in the glass and raised his eyebrows: "It should be almost done."
Lin Zhiyi's face tightened: "Tell me quickly!"
"Don't worry, let's wait until the bidding meeting is over. I think the truth of the matter may be a little beyond your expectation."
Just as Lin Zhiyi was about to speak, there was a small commotion in the venue. It was Zhou Cishen who had arrived.
Lin Zhiyi folded her hands on her chest and looked in the direction of Zhou Cishen, wondering what she was thinking.
Daniel followed her gaze and played with the wine glass in his hand: "If I guess correctly, you still haven't given up on such a good choice as Zhou Cishen."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi was startled for a moment and looked away: "It's nothing."
Daniel smiled, noncommittal.
Even if Lin Zhiyi denies it, the only one who can really pull Lin Zhiyi back now is Zhou Cishen.
And if he is willing to do this, he can easily obtain the entire Lin family.
It's a pity that Zhou Cishen really wanted to get the Lin family, but not in this way. Who knows how cold-blooded and tough Zhou Cishen is. Lin Zhiyi now hopes to re-establish an alliance with Zhou Cishen,
I was afraid that Lin would fall into Zhou Cishen's hands.
As if aware of his gaze, Zhou Cishen looked over from the crowd, his facial features cold and calm.
It seems that he came well prepared.
Daniel raised the cup in his hand and toasted to him from a distance.
Zhou Cishen ignored him and withdrew his gaze.
Daniel continued: "Right now, the Lin family's biggest enemy is Zhou Cishen. Have you figured out how to deal with him?"
Lin Zhiyi said: "Zhou Cishen is too arrogant and thinks that everything is in his hands. The more such a person is, the more flaws he can find in him."
"oh?
Yeah."
"I don't know about others, but Zhou Cishen's biggest weakness is Ruan Xingwan."
Daniel looked sideways at her: "Are you sure he will be blackmailed because of a woman?"
Lin Zhiyi sneered: "You think too highly of him. Zhou Cishen is not as powerful as you think. In the end, he is just that woman who gave up the only chance to bring down the Zhou family."
Daniel smiled but said nothing. Businessmen never make losses, especially Zhou Cishen.
Not long after, the bidding meeting officially started, and everyone sat on their seats.
Lin Zhiyi put down his wine glass: "It's started, let's go."
Daniel looked at her back, then turned his head and looked around. When he saw that Ruan Xingwan was nowhere to be seen in the entire venue, he narrowed his eyes.
Judging from what Ruan Xingwan said, he always felt that something big would happen today.
While watching, Daniel took a few steps back, then turned back and followed Lin Zhiyi's footsteps.
The bidding meeting has also officially begun.
Lin's project leader came on stage to give everyone an overall introduction to the project.
And this person in charge is none other than Yang Zhen.
