Ruan Xingwan came out after taking a shower and saw Zhou Cishen standing by the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
She walked over and said softly: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Cishen turned his head and looked at her: "It's okay."
After he finished speaking, his eyes fell behind her ears: "Her hair is wet."
Ruan Xingwan raised his hand and touched it: "It should have been accidentally stained with water while taking a shower, and it dried up after a while."
Zhou Cishen said: "Go and blow dry your hair, and I'll warm up the milk for you."
Ruan Xingwan said "Oh" and entered the bathroom again.
Although Zhou Cishen said nothing, she could tell that he was not in a good mood.
In fact, she can guess why.
The cruise reception hosted by Zhou was getting closer and closer, so they could finally settle things with Zhou Junnian there.
She probably knew what Zhou Cishen was thinking. If she didn't deal with Zhou Junnian ruthlessly and give him a chance of survival, he would feel sorry for her and the little guy, but...he always felt guilty for Zhou Junnian deep in his heart, because of himself and because of
Jiang family.
After Ruan Xingwan finished blowing her hair, she put down the hair dryer and breathed out slowly.
Hearing the noise from the bedroom, she turned around, opened the bathroom door, and walked towards Zhou Cishen.
Ruan Xingwan took the milk from his hand, kissed him on the lips as usual after drinking it: "You go take a shower, I'm going to bed, good night."
Zhou Cishen raised the corners of his lips, rubbed her head, and kissed her forehead.
After Zhou Ci entered the bathroom, Ruan Xingwan went downstairs with a milk cup, opened the refrigerator, and made some simple midnight snacks using the ingredients inside.
Zhou Cishen has been in a meeting tonight. You don't need to think about it to know that he must have eaten nothing.
After Ruan Xingwan finished cooking, he went upstairs with the dinner plate.
When Zhou Cishen came out, he saw her putting the dinner plate on the coffee table. He walked over and said, "Didn't you say you were asleep?"
Ruan Xingwan pulled him on the sofa and handed him the chopsticks: "Eat and sleep quickly, I can't even open my eyes."
Zhou Cishen said: "You don't want to eat?"
"I've eaten a lot tonight, but I'm not hungry yet."
After Ruan Xingwan finished speaking, he sat next to him and watched him eat.
Zhou Cishen was halfway through eating and turned his head to meet her gaze.
Zhou Cishen: "?"
He said: "If you want to eat, I'll let it go to you."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
She looked away: "You eat yours."
While talking, Ruan Xingwan couldn't hide a yawn. He was indeed very sleepy.
After a while, she leaned gently on Zhou Cishen's shoulder and fell asleep.
Zhou Cishen put down the tableware and reached out to take her into his arms.
Ruan Xingwan leaned against his chest, breathing evenly, with a faint pink color on her lips.
Zhou Cishen lowered his head and bit her lip.
Ruan Xingwan made an uncomfortable "Ugh" sound and was about to wake up. Fortunately, Zhou Cishen quickly let go of her, hugged her and gently placed her on the bed.
Just as Zhou Cishen was about to stand up, Ruan Xingwan put her arms around his neck and said vaguely with her eyes closed: "Where are you going?"
He whispered: "I'm not going anywhere, just go to sleep."
Zhou Cishen turned around, turned off the light, and lay down next to her.
Ruan Xingwan habitually got into his arms and found a comfortable place to rub himself against.
Outside the window, heavy snow was flying.
…
Three days later.
After Ruan Xingwan tied Zhou Cishen's tie, she stared at him and said in a very soft voice: "Be careful, no matter what the outcome is, I just want to see you come back safely."
Zhou Cishen hugged her waist: "It'll be okay."
A smile appeared on Ruan Xingwan's face: "Zhou Cishen, you have to remember that we are married and I am your wife and the mother of your child.
We are a whole. No matter what choice you make, I will support you. My wish is very simple. I just want our family to be able to live together. This is enough. What happened in the past will slowly get better.
of."
He stared at her with dark eyes, his eyebrows downcast.
After a long while, he responded in a low voice: "Okay."
After Zhou Cishen left, Ruan Xingwan went to the studio.
She saw Pei Shanshan coming in with a large photo frame and asked, "What is this?"
Pei Shanshan was speechless: "It's all Daniel's fault. He told my parents about the wedding photos we took, and my mother insisted on letting me wash out one and send it to them. I just washed it, but they want it in such a big size. I don't know.
I thought she allowed the exhibition downstairs."
Ruan Xingwan smiled and went to the tea room to get a glass of water: "Auntie has been waiting for a long time for you to take wedding photos. It's time to have fun."
Ruan Xingwan said again: "How are you going to deal with this?"
Pei Shanshan patted the dust on her hands and gasped: "I made an appointment for express delivery, and I'll be here to pick it up soon."
Ruan Xingwan nodded: "Then you should be busy, I'm going to draw the design draft."
"OK."
Pei Shanshan worked in the studio for half a morning, and after finally sending the photo frame away, the girl at the front desk suddenly brought an envelope over: "Sister Shanshan, I just received this."
Pei Shanshan wondered: "What is this?"
She said as she opened it.
Inside the envelope was an invitation letter to a cocktail party sent by Zhou.
Pei Shanshan took this and knocked on the door of Ruan Xingwan's office.
In the office, Ruan Xingwan held his chin and looked out the window, a little distracted.
"Star?
Star!"
Pei Shanshan called her several times, and Ruan Xingwan suddenly came back to her senses: "What's wrong?"
Pei Shanshan sits next to her: "What are you thinking about?
So focused.”
Ruan Xingwan shook his head, exhaled and said: "No, Zhou Cishen is going to go... I always feel a little uneasy."
It feels like it might not go that smoothly.
Pei Shanshan put the envelope on the table: "By the way, this, the studio just received it, is an invitation letter to the cocktail party."
Ruan Xingwan glanced at it, picked up the envelope and opened it.
She knew that Zhou Junnian had no intention of letting her go.
He will definitely try his best to drag her into his trap.
The large gilded characters with the logo of "Zhou Group" jumped out in front of her eyes, and they were like vines, pulling her in frantically.
Ruan Xingwan stuffed the invitation letter in again. Just when he was about to throw it into the trash can, something fell out of the invitation letter.
Pei Shanshan bent down and picked it up. When he saw what was on it, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
When Ruan Xingwan saw this, he also looked over: "Shanshan, what is it..."
Before she finished speaking, Pei Shanshan put the things in her hands behind her and moved her eyes unnaturally: "No, it's nothing..."
Ruan Xingwan frowned slightly and pursed the corners of his lips.
Since this thing fell out of Zhou Junnian's invitation, it must be something threatening her.
But what could make Pei Shanshan's expression change instantly?
Ruan Xingwan kept calm: "Shanshan, show me the things."
