Ruan Xingwan woke up from hunger in the middle of the night. After she came back from the meeting with Zhou Cishen, she didn't eat anything, so she took a cold medicine before going to bed.
When she sat up, she found that Zhou Cishen was not beside her.
Ruan Xingwan found a piece of his clothes in the room, put them on, and then walked out in a daze.
In the living room, Zhou Cishen was working on the computer.
Ruan Xingwan was so stung by the lamp that he couldn't open his eyes: "It's so late, aren't you going to sleep?"
"I haven't finished reading some information yet."
Zhou Cishen looked at her, "Why are you up?"
Ruan Xingwan covered his stomach and answered honestly: "I'm hungry."
Zhou Cishen said: "I just ordered a meal. Check to see if it's hot. If it's cold, order again."
Ruan Xingwan saw the dining cart parked at the door, so he walked over and opened the lid: "It's hot."
The temperature is just right.
Ruan Xingwan put several plates on the dining table, and just when she was about to ask Zhou Cishen to eat, he had already walked up to her, reached out and touched her forehead: "Do you feel better?"
"It's still the same."
"I'll take the medicine after eating later."
Ruan Xingwan said "oh" and sat down at the dining table to eat.
Halfway through the meal, Ruan Xingwan looked out the window: "Is it still raining?"
Zhou Cishen hummed.
She added: "It seems that the construction will be delayed."
"We can leave tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
Ruan Xingwan thought for a moment and said, "If you are really too busy, I can go back by myself."
Zhou Cishen raised his eyes and looked at her: "You were so clingy to me during the day, but it doesn't matter now?"
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
She said weakly: "Eat your food."
After eating, Ruan Xingwan lay on the bed again.
Zhou Cishen sat next to her and whispered: "Still uncomfortable?"
Ruan Xingwan said: "No, I'm just a little sleepy."
"Then go to sleep."
Zhou Cishen said, "We will return to Nancheng tomorrow."
Ruan Xingwan responded: "You go to work, don't worry about me, I know how to sleep."
Zhou Cishen opened the quilt and lay down: "Forget it, we can just deal with it tomorrow. I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep without me."
Dog men are really shameless.
Zhou Cishen turned off the light and held her in his arms: "If you wake up and the cold still doesn't go away, go to the hospital."
Ruan Xingwan closed his eyes: "Let's talk about it later."
After a while, she felt Zhou Cishen patting her back gently.
Ruan Xingwan was instantly enveloped in some unknown emotion.
She said without warning: "Zhou Cishen."
In the darkness, the man's voice was low: "Huh?"
"You really have nothing to hide from me?"
Zhou Cishen didn't pause in his movements at all, and spoke with ease: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"It's nothing, I just want to confirm."
Ruan Xingwan said, "If it's not your problem, then it's my problem."
Zhou Cishen said: "What problem do you have?"
Ruan Xingwan pursed her lips: "It's nothing."
After returning home, she should see a psychiatrist.
After a few seconds, Zhou Cishen said again: "You have been under too much pressure recently. The Lin family matter is over. You have done what you should do. Just leave the rest to me."
"knew."
Ruan Xingwan moved, hugged his waist, and said in a very calm voice, "I really believe you now, so if you say you have nothing to hide from me, I will never doubt or guess again, but if one day
, when I know that you have been lying to me, we will separate and never see each other again..."
Before she could finish her words, her lips were blocked.
Zhou Cishen said: "Are you unable to sleep?"
Ruan Xingwan met his gaze: "Are you feeling guilty?"
Zhou Cishen pursed his thin lips slightly, and after a long while he said in an almost compromising tone: "I'm hiding something from you, but it's not up to me to decide whether I should tell you or not."
Hearing this, Ruan Xingwan couldn't help but frown. Could it be that she had really guessed it?
Zhou Cishen continued: "I can only tell you that there are other people behind Daniel, and he has a great connection with the Lin family, but he doesn't seem to want to tell you his identity, so I can't make this decision for him.
"
Ruan Xingwan was stunned for a moment before continuing: "Is this what you are hiding from me?"
"if not."
Oh, it wasn't what she thought it was.
Zhou Cishen's voice came again: "Sometimes, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but if you know, it may not be a good thing."
"But... I should have the right to know about anything related to me."
"Those who don't want to talk have their reasons.
Any truth, you will know one day, it’s just sooner or later.”
Ruan Xingwan opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything to refute.
Zhou Cishen hugged her: "Okay, don't think about it anymore.
In short, they won't harm you."
Ruan Xingwan pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
In this series about the Lin family, Daniel and the others have been helping her from beginning to end.
At first, she just thought they had a common enemy.
But later on, the enemy was still the same, but it seemed that they focused on protecting her, and for this reason Daniel even moved next to the studio.
She has always guessed that William is the person behind Daniel, but this is still just a suspicion without any evidence.
But in fact, it is obvious that so many things happened in the Lin family, and only a few people were involved in it.
Mr. Jin knew very early that Lin Zhiyuan was fake, and both William and Daniel knew Mr. Jin. When Lin Zhi'an was about to leave in a hurry that day, it was William who stopped him.
Now it seems that her guess was correct.
But, William... who is he?
Seeing that Ruan Xingwan didn't speak, he frowned and wondered where he was thinking.
Zhou Cishen licked his lips calmly, knowing that her attention was no longer on the previous matter, so he slowly said, "So, don't keep saying those words just now."
Ruan Xingwan: "Oh."
…
When Ruan Xing woke up at night, it was already noon, and outside the window was the clear sunshine after the rain, which was so bright that it was hard to open one's eyes.
She stretched and stood up. As soon as she left the bedroom, she heard Zhou Cishen talking on the phone.
From what I hear, it should be that Anqiao Long Street will be constructed as scheduled.
That is today.
She walked to the dining room, poured some water, and took a long breath.
I don’t know if it’s because I got some sleep, but I feel like I’m not as heavy and depressed as I was yesterday.
Zhou Cishen finished the call, put away his phone and walked over: "Start the construction at three o'clock, and take the flight back to Nancheng at five o'clock, okay?"
Ruan Xingwan nodded: "Okay."
Zhou Cishen said: "Change your clothes and take you somewhere."
Ruan Xingwan said warily: "Could it be Yuelao Temple?"
Zhou Cishen chuckled: "If you want to go, it's not impossible."
"Thank you, I don't want to go at all."
As soon as she saw the colorful photo frame at home that had been in use for centuries, she never wanted to step foot into the Yuelao Temple again in her life.
