After chatting with William for a while, Ruan Xingwan hung up the phone.
She turned around, walked up to Zhou Cishen, and returned the phone to him. Her eyes couldn't help but fall on the ice sculpture.
It's twice as big as hers, and it fits perfectly on Zhou Cishen's desk.
Ruan Xingwan said: "This looks good, Shanshan..."
Zhou Cishen said: "You didn't want to know how William and Ruan Chen were doing, why didn't you ask?"
Ruan Xingwan curled up the corner of his mouth, turned back to look at Zhou Cishen, sighed and said: "I really want to know, but it's annoying to ask too many questions about this kind of thing. Of course it's a good thing to ease up, but if not
, my dad must be more sad than any of us.
Anyway, before this happens, we all know that this kind of thing cannot be achieved overnight, it will take a long time."
Zhou Cishen raised his eyebrows slightly and raised his hand to straighten the broken hair around her ears: "Every time you understand these truths better than anyone else, but when it happens to you, you blame yourself more than anyone else."
Ruan Xingwan knew that he was referring to the little guy's illness.
She whispered: "How can it be the same? And it is indeed me..."
Zhou Cishen interrupted her: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Are you here just to give me this thing?
It’s better to wait until I get off work.”
Ruan Xingwan took his things and said, "I won't wait for you anymore, Shanshan and I are going to eat hot pot."
Zhou Cishen held her wrist, lowered his head and came closer: "Are you leaving now?"
Ruan Xingwan looked at his pair of black eyes that were very close at hand: "Yes, don't you have a meeting later? I won't disturb you."
"How can I be bothered by being with you?"
Ruan Xingwan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and gently pushed his chest: "Okay, Shanshan is still waiting for me. You can go ahead and do your work. I'll wait at home..." You.
Before he finished speaking, his lips were held in his mouth.
Zhou Cishen caressed her lips for a while before letting go of her: "Don't eat too spicy, go back early."
Ruan Xingwan smiled at him and said with crooked eyes: "I know, I'm leaving."
After Ruan Xingwan left, there was a knock on the door.
Zhou Cishen put away the emotion on his face and said calmly: "Come in."
Lin Nan walked up to him: "Mr. Zhou, everything is ready for the cruise reception."
Zhou Cishen was sitting at his desk, not knowing what he was thinking and saying nothing.
Lin Nan tentatively spoke: "Mr. Zhou?"
He paused and continued: "There are still three days before the reception. If Mr. Zhou changes his decision, we can still..."
Zhou Cishen's voice was a little colder: "Proceed as originally planned."
Lin Nan nodded: "Yes."
…
Sitting in the hot pot restaurant, Pei Shanshan was very excited and immediately ordered a piece of extra spicy beef. She was really greedy.
If it weren't for the fact that Ruan Xingwan was still pregnant, she would have wanted something extra spicy.
Ruan Xingwan poured her water and said, "Take it easy, you may not be able to hold your stomach if you eat such spicy food."
Pei Shanshan said: "It's okay. I have stomach medicine at home. I indulge once in a while. It hurts but makes me happy."
Ruan Xingwan said amusedly: "Why didn't your Daniel come with you?"
Hearing the word "your home", Pei Shanshan choked on the water in her mouth. Before she started eating, her face turned red.
Pei Shanshan whispered: "You're not married yet, why are you living in my house..."
"You have forgotten what you said about me in the first place."
Pei Shanshan recalled that she had also kept saying "your family Zhou Cishen" and "your family's president Zhou".
This is really the law of heaven, and retribution is not good.
Pei Shanshan tried to change the subject: "By the way, when I was chatting with Daniel today, I casually mentioned Cheng Wei. He... did you find anything out about the paternity test?"
Ruan Xingwan looked calm and ate snacks: "I don't know, I didn't ask."
Pei Shanshan clicked her tongue, and after a few more sighs, their dishes arrived at the right time.
Pei Shanshan didn't eat anything on the plane, so she was greedy for this bite. Ruan Xingwan was pregnant, so she ate more than usual, so the two of them finished the dishes they ordered for three or four people.
In the end, both of them were able to hold on and sat down at the table to catch their breath and chat.
Ruan Xingwan said: "I spoke to my father today. Xiaochen is fine there."
Pei Shanshan said: "Xiaochen, that kid, doesn't say anything on the surface and keeps everything in his heart, but a change of environment would be better than living in the past and not being able to get out."
Ruan Xingwan nodded gently: "Xiaochen...ever since he was a child, it is difficult to change his mind once he has determined something, no matter how long it takes."
After hearing this, Pei Shanshan asked, "Xu Wan, has she ever contacted you?"
"No."
Ruan Xingwan let out a breath and said, "I asked Zhou Cishen about it. It's good for her to be filming in a closed environment on the set without being disturbed by the outside world."
After he's almost rested, Pei Shanshan helps Ruan Xingwan up: "Let's go, it's getting late, I'll take you back."
As soon as they left the hot pot restaurant, they saw Daniel leaning in front of the car, looking around boredly.
After seeing them, he immediately came over.
Pei Shanshan said in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Daniel spread his hands: "I'll pick you up."
Although he knew this would be the answer, Pei Shanshan still felt a little incredible. It was so cold outside. How long had he been waiting?
Just when she was distracted, Daniel greeted Ruan Xingwan: "Miss Ruan."
Ruan Xingwan smiled: "You go back."
Pei Shanshan retracted her thoughts: "But you..."
Ruan Xingwan looked not far away and signaled: "Chen Bei is here to see me off."
Daniel took Pei Shanshan from beside her and nodded with a smile: "Goodbye, Miss Ruan."
"Eh."
Ruan Xingwan stopped him, "It's been so long, just call me by my name and stop calling me Miss Ruan."
Daniel said: "I know, Ruan... Xingwan."
Ruan Xingwan smiled: "Okay, let's take Shanshan back."
Pei Shanshan was pulled by Daniel and waved to Ruan Xingwan as he walked: "Xingxing, I'm leaving then. You go home early and send me a message when you get there."
Ruan Xingwan nodded in response.
After they left, Ruan Xingwan was still a little exhausted and prepared to leave for a while before going back.
Chen Bei was following her, neither close nor far.
Because the weather was too cold, there were no pedestrians on the street, and there were only street lights one by one.
Ruan Xingwan walked slowly and saw that the shops on both sides of the street had already hung up Christmas trees, and some were marked with New Year's Day pictures and texts.
It indicates that the new year is coming soon.
I don't know when it started to snow in the sky.
Just when Ruan Xingwan was about to go back, he saw an umbrella above his head.
She thought it was Chen Bei, so she turned around and was about to say something, but she saw Zhou Cishen standing behind her.
The smile on Ruan Xingwan's face couldn't help but widen a little: "Are you done?"
Zhou Cishen took advantage of the situation and held her slightly cool hand. When he looked at her, there was a bit of warmth in his eyebrows: "You're done, let's go home."
