Chapter 44: How many times have you hinted at him?
"Ruan, this is Zhou Junnian, Mr. Zhou."
After a brief introduction, Lin Si left as he had other matters to attend to.
Zhou Junnian was sitting in a wheelchair with a warm and gentle smile: "Xingwan, it turns out you are the famous designer of Shengguang."
"Big..." Brother.
Ruan Xingwan paused: "Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Junnian said: "You don't need to be so polite with me. Just like Cishen, just call me big brother."
"It's better not to, Zhou Cishen and I have divorced."
Zhou Junnian smiled: "That's right.
But it’s just a title. I’m older than you, so it’s okay for you to call me big brother.”
Ruan Xingwan pursed his lips slightly and continued the discussion without addressing the topic: "What kind of jewelry does Mr. Zhou want to customize?"
"I almost forgot about this."
Zhou Junnian took out a few pieces of paper from the document bag he carried and put them on the table, "Next week is my mother's birthday. I want to customize a necklace for her. I originally planned to design it myself, but you also
As you can see, they are all things that cannot be put on the table.”
Ruan Xingwan felt that the smile on his face could no longer be maintained again.
Isn’t Zhou Junnian’s mother also Zhou Cishen’s mother?
That woman who is cold and elegant, with a sense of nobility all over her body, that makes people stay thousands of miles away.
Zhou Junnian saw that she had a strange look on her face and apologized: "This may be a little difficult for you. I also heard from my friends that the designers Shengguang recently signed are very talented and smart, so I came here with the attitude of giving it a try.
If it’s too much, then forget it…”
When Zhou Junnian said the last sentence, there was obvious regret in his words.
Ruan Xingwan paused for two seconds before saying: "Don't force it, what style does Mr. Zhou want?"
It was she who kept saying that she and Zhou Cishen were divorced. If she refused because of this now, it would seem that she was still brooding about it.
And this is work, she shouldn't get involved with personal emotions.
Zhou Junnian told Ruan Xingwan the style he wanted, and added: "Next week is my mother's birthday, so the design sketch will probably be produced within three days, and the finished product must be made before my birthday. There is a little time.
Hurry?
It’s all my fault that I wasted too much time before, even though I knew I didn’t have the ability, I still had to try.”
"I don't have any other work on hand right now, so I can do it in three days.
After the design drawings come out, I asked Editor Lin to contact Mr. Zhou."
"Actually, Editor Lin and I don't know each other very well. If it's convenient, let's leave our contact information."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Okay."
This is a job and a reasonable request from the customer.
After adding WeChat, Ruan Xingwan put the paper on the table into a document bag and handed it to Zhou Junnian. He said smoothly: "Then I will send Mr. Zhou out."
"Trouble."
After leaving Shengguang, Zhou Junnian's driver came up to him and took the handle of the wheelchair from Ruan Xingwan.
Zhou Junnian said: "Just send it here, it won't delay your work."
Ruan Xingwan smiled: "Goodbye Mr. Zhou."
When she got on the elevator, Ruan Xingwan thought, in fact, if anyone in the Zhou family had any good intentions towards her, it would only be Zhou Junnian.
At that banquet a few years ago, when she was constantly being bossed around and ridiculed coldly, only Zhou Junnian handed her a glass of water and said warmly: "Take a rest, you don't need to take what they say to heart.
As long as Cishen recognizes you as his wife, nothing else will matter."
Ruan Xingwan said silently in his heart: "He is the one who is least convinced."
She hugged the cup and whispered thank you to him.
Later, when Zhou Anan came up to provoke and humiliate her, it was Zhou Junnian who helped her out.
At that time, Ruan Xingwan didn't understand why there was such a big difference in personality between two brothers even though they were brothers.
If Zhou Cishen was one-tenth as gentle as Zhou Junnian, she would be able to wake up from her dreams with a smile.
As soon as he returned to Shengguang, Pei Shanshan ran over and asked in a low voice: "I heard from Editor Lin that the man's surname was Zhou. Does it overlap with his surname or is it related to Zhou Cishen?"
Pei Shanshan was shocked and confused: "Zhou Cishen actually has an older brother?"
Zhou Junnian has never appeared in public in these years, and rarely leaves the Zhou family. Moreover, Zhou Cishen is solely responsible for handling the Zhou family's affairs, so it is normal for outsiders not to know Zhou Junnian's existence.
Ruan Xingwan nodded slightly.
"Then he asked you to design jewelry because Zhou Cishen deliberately humiliated you?"
"No, he is much kinder and gentler than Zhou Cishen.
only……"
Ruan Xingwan told Zhou Juannian about asking her to design a necklace for his mother.
Pei Shanshan's eyes widened: "Then you refused?
You must have refused!"
"I agreed."
In fact, Ruan Xingwan only met Zhong Xian twice.
Once, before she and Zhou Cishen got married, she was brought back to Zhou's house. Standing in front of Zhou Cishen's parents, she felt embarrassed and unbearable. She was at a loss all over her body, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
One time was the Zhou family's banquet.
During the two meetings, Zhong Xian's attitude towards her was extremely cold.
But fortunately, all she had to do was produce the design drawings. Zhou Junnian would find other people to complete the materials and finished products for the jewelry.
Pei Shanshan sighed: "That's right, we won't meet anyway. I heard Editor Lin said that the price he offered was very high. If I had known that he was Zhou Cishen's eldest brother, I should have asked Editor Lin to give him a hard slap.
pen!"
Pei Shanshan added: "By the way, you went for a prenatal check-up today. What did the doctor say?"
A smile appeared on Ruan Xingwan's face unconsciously: "The doctor said everything about the fetus is normal and developing well, and he even listened to the fetal heart rate today."
"Really? Really? I want to listen too!"
Pei Shanshan said and put his head on her belly.
Ruan Xingwan smiled and said: "That's not what I heard."
"It has been more than four months now, and I will see my little baby in six months at most.
Have you decided on a name yet?"
"It's still early. We don't know yet whether it's a boy or a girl. It won't be too late to think about it after the baby is born."
"Then leave this matter to me. I'll give you a choice of boys and girls."
Ruan Xingwan smiled: "Think about it for yourself, hasn't Li Ang proposed to you yet?"
Pei Shanshan curled her lips: "What's more, I've hinted at him many times this month. He's usually romantic and interesting, but in this case, he's turned into a dead horse, and he has to socialize almost every two days.
, I’m quite busy, and I can’t always disturb him because of this matter.”
"Then just wait. Maybe he will propose to you after he is done with this period of time."
"Well, are you going back now?
I happen to be going out for a photo shoot, so let me see you off."
"No, I still have to report to Editor Lin. You go ahead and do your work first."
After reporting work to Lin Si, on the way back, Ruan Xingwan remembered that there was no food at home.
She asked the driver to stop at a nearby mall.
Not long after entering the mall, Ruan Xingwan saw a baby products store. The little clothes and shoes inside were so cute that people couldn't take their eyes away.
Ruan Xingwan bought some one-piece clothes for babies and came out. When she was about to buy other things, she saw a man and woman walking past her in each other's arms.
The girl was drinking milk tea while raising her head and acting coquettishly at the boy.
Ruan Xingwan looked over sharply.
That boy...
She took out the mask from her bag and quickly followed.
