The night was getting darker, and rain was falling outside the window.

Indoors, Ji Chaozhou’s face was pale and showed no emotion at all. He sat on the sofa with downcast eyes, his lips were slightly pursed into a line, and his long legs were slumped against the coffee table, his figure almost blending into the darkness.

A cold and decadent aura spread from him, like a statue of a lifeless beauty.

The lily-of-the-valley brought back from the car earlier that afternoon was placed in a glass vase and set alone on the empty dining table. The plump, white flowers hung low, emitting a faint and lustrous light in the dim room.

At this time, the mobile phone on the coffee table suddenly vibrated and the screen lit up, the sudden light dazzling in the dark.

Ji Chaozhou didn’t move, after a moment, the screen flashed again.

After a long time, he reached out to pick up the phone and slid the screen to unlock it. Two people sent him messages on WeChat, one after another.

No. 6: [I’ll wait for you downstairs. ]

Ji Mushan: [Eat on time, don’t always ignore your body. ]

Ji Chaozhou’s gaze fell on the WeChat message sent by No. 6.

A few days ago, Ji Mushan got his medical examination report from somewhere, came over to find him, and asked Ji Chaozhou to eat on time.

Ji Chaozhou didn’t pay him any attention.

So now this No. 6 was hired to supervise him?

Although Ji Chaozhou promised Aunt Yun that he would reconcile with Ji Mushan, he has never been interested in eating, even when his stomach complained.

The tingling sensation coming from his body only seemed to make him more awake.

 … …

Cheng Liu had gone back to wash her hair and take a shower. From a closet full of similar-looking clothes, she casually picked up clean ones. Seeing that it was still early for their date, she sat in front of the computer and read the documents sent by her chief assistant.

But this time, she specially set the alarm clock to prevent herself from being so absorbed in work that she forgets about the date.

She also added her boyfriend’s address on the mobile phone delivery app.

At that time, Cheng Liu felt that she had the potential to be a good girlfriend.

At 7:40pm, Cheng Liu arrived at the fifth building in Wenxing Community ahead of time, and sent a message to her boyfriend, telling him to come down.

There was no response for a long time, and it wasn’t until eight o’clock that the other party sent a sentence: [I don’t want to eat, you go back first. ]

Cheng Liu sat in the car, staring at the message, a little puzzled.

A few days ago, he complained that she didn’t contact him. Now that she came back, and made time for a date, why hasn’t he calmed down at all?

Cheng Liu was thoughtful.

The boyfriend was probably playing tricks and playing hard to get so she would coax him more.

In the past, she often heard the group of middle-aged business partners complain that their wives or children used this method to attract their attention.

At that time, Cheng Liu was not interested in this kind of thing at all, but now that she was personally experiencing it… Those business partners were clearly showing off ah!

Thinking of this, Cheng Liu straightened her back a little. She also has a boyfriend now, and his looks were stunning.

His willfulness didn’t matter much.

She can just pamper!

So Cheng Liu came out of the car under an umbrella, ready to coax her boyfriend.

No. 6: [Recently, Gu Yu Restaurant has debuted a new dish, which is light and nourishing for the stomach, very suitable for you, you can eat as much as you like. ]

No. 6: [This is their dish, picture.jpg]

No. 6: [picture.jpg] x12

Models need to keep fit, so they should not eat greasy food or ones with too strong flavors.

Cheng Liu felt she was very thoughtful.

In addition, she also learned the next move of those middle-aged business partners who have all gone through this before with excellent results: complaining.

No. 6: [Life is not easy for everyone, I hope you can understand me a little bit. ]

There were so many people in her company waiting to be paid their salary, Cheng Liu felt that her boyfriend needed to understand how busy she was during this time.

But she will definitely change in the future! She will spend more time with her boyfriend.

… …

Meanwhile, upstairs.

After Ji Chaozhou sent the message to the bodyguard, but before he could put down the phone, it vibrated continuously from several incoming messages.

He opened No. 6’s WeChat and looked at the photos of the dishes she kept sending.

Finally, the other party sent another message.

Ji Chaozhou frowned slightly, disliking the other party’s words that were equivalent to moral kidnapping.

He got up and turned on the light, turned on the voice call, and wanted to let that No. 6 go back—so what if her life was not easy?

At this time, Ji Chaozhou had already walked to the window, and he looked outside.

The rain was still falling and showed no signs of abating.

The street lights downstairs were on, but there were no pedestrians around, so the person holding a black umbrella, looking up from time to time, stood out.

From a floor above, Ji Chaozhou could also see the person wearing an outdated, red checkered coat, gray sports pants that had turned a bit white after too much washing, and both pants legs were already wet from the rain.

There was a long scratch on the back of her right hand that was holding the umbrella. It had been covered up earlier in the afternoon and he hadn’t seen it. But after removing the bandage at night, it was clearly visible under the street lamp despite the rain—it had not even scabbed yet.

A sorry figure, trapped in the rain.

Ji Chaozhou remembered that the other party was still carrying a suitcase at the airport earlier today, so she likely took over Ji Mushan’s task directly after completing the last order.

The original resentment from being morally kidnapped was slightly reduced.

… …

Cheng Liu downstairs looked down at the phone and found that it was a voice call from her boyfriend. She immediately clicked on it, looked up and saw Ji Chaozhou on the second floor, and smiled at him. “Gu Yu Restaurant is not far from here. I’ll take you back after eating.”

Cheng Liu was passionate and sincere towards others, and it was difficult for anyone to feel bad about her. This was not only due to her outstanding appearance, but also her essential skill as a businessman.

Ji Chaozhou stared down at the person downstairs for a long time, but in the end he didn’t make a sound and just hung up the call.

A few minutes later.

Ji Chaozhou appeared downstairs in the lobby of Building 5, and Cheng Liu immediately strode over, raising the black umbrella in her hand to shield her boyfriend from the wind and rain, striving hard to be a good girlfriend.

Before he could reach out, Cheng Liu already opened the car door first, held the umbrella up to let her boyfriend in, and at the same time placed her hand on the top of the car to prevent him from bumping his head as he went in.

Probably because she has seen the practice of too many hotel doormen, Cheng Liu’s movements were very smooth—the only difference from a trained doorman was a hotel livery.

After closing the car door, she hurried around to the driver’s side, got in the car, put the umbrella at the back, then turned the car around and drove towards Gu Yu Restaurant.

Ji Chaozhou quietly looked at the blurry rain scene outside the window, and the lights of the cars crossing on the side of the road sometimes flashed across the glass.

After a long time, he turned to look at No. 6 bodyguard next to him.

Cheng Liu noticed that her boyfriend was looking at her, so she subconsciously sat up straight, and her hands holding the steering wheel moved several times.

She was a little nervous.

After the boyfriend got dressed for dinner, his eyes with their amber-colored contact lenses swept over her lightly, and Cheng Liu’s heart skipped a few beats for no reason.

No wonder those business partners always love to buy cosmetics for their wives.

No matter if it’s men or women, it really looks better with makeup.
