"Mr. Gu, I'll say sorry for Qianrong again." After Xiao Qianrong and the others left, Ruo Ning apologized to Gu Chendong again, after all, this was ruining Gu Chendong's marriage.

"Maybe I want to thank your friend, that Miss Chen has always been very well disguised, and the murder just now really scared me." Gu Chendong shook his head with a smile.

Ruoning couldn't help laughing, Ren Shaochen saw that Gu Chendong's clothes were also wet with juice, so he called Secretary Qiu to take Gu Chendong to the lounge to change clothes, Gu Chendong waved his hand, simply said goodbye to Ren Shaochen, and left the venue first.

For a moment, it was as if nothing had happened in the banquet hall, and there was a lot of fun, and probably the people of high society had a mask that armed themselves, and the surface always maintained elegance and decency.

Ruoning was a little tired after standing in high heels for a long time, so he said to Ren Shaochen, turned around and went to the lounge first.

She went into the empty lounge, took off her shoes, and rubbed her ankles.

Maybe because the floor-to-ceiling glass windows were not closed properly, a cold wind blew the curtains, and the wind came in, Ruo Ning shivered, walked to the window barefoot, and pushed it a few times but didn't push it up.

She went out onto the balcony and pushed and looked from the outside.

At this time, the door of the lounge was opened, and Ruo Ning looked up and saw Secretary Qiu and Director Jin through the gap in the curtain.

Director Jin is the director of the museum she designed, she only met him yesterday afternoon, how could he be with Secretary Qiu?

Ruo Ning let go of the window and stood still with bated breath.

"Director Jin, thanks to your help last time, Mr. Ren has always wanted to thank you personally." Secretary Qiu's gentle voice sounded.

"It should be me and Mr. Ren who thank him for his strong support for the construction of this museum." Curator Jin thanked him rhetorically.

"Director Jin doesn't have to be so polite, the museum is a humanistic construction, and Mr. Ren said that this should be done." Secretary Qiu paused when he said this, and said, "However, the matter of the construction of the Hengyu Investment Hall, Director Jin must not mention it to Designer Qu. ”

"Secretary Qiu rest assured, Mr. Ren has explained it before." Director Kim responded.

Ruo Ning stood on the balcony, listening to this, suddenly like a basin of cold water poured on her body, she always thought that she could get this design by her own strength, it turned out that Ren Shaochen did it in secret!

The joy of one's own success seemed so comical at this moment.

That day, she was so happy when she knew that her design was adopted, and she shared the joy of success with Ren Shaochen in high spirits.

When he watched her rejoice so much at this small success, what kind of mentality was he using to face it, was he looking down on her insignificance? With a slight flex of his wrist, he could get whatever she was fighting so hard for. He knew that she wanted to prove herself with strength so much, did he do these things behind his back because he didn't trust her to have this ability?

Ruo Ning felt that she was cold from her head to the center of her feet, and she didn't pay attention to what they said.

It wasn't until they walked out of the lounge that Ruo Ning moved her feet, frozen by the earth's air, and went inside.

Her mind was full of the conversation just now, she put on her shoes and walked out of the lounge, at this time, Ren Shaochen delivered Hengyu's listing speech and future development plan on the stage.

Ruo Ning's eyes glanced at him through everyone, then turned and walked out.

Out of the hotel, Ruo Ning stretched out her hand to hail a taxi and reported her address.

Back at home, with those conversations still in her head, she took off her shoes, took off her dress, took her loungewear, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Washed away the exhaustion, but could not wash away the irritability that grew in the heart.

After taking a bath, Ruo Ning lay on the bed, very tired but couldn't sleep, tossing and turning, she has always disdained to go through the back door under the trust, she has her pride, but what did Ren Shaochen do? He's crushing her pride!

Ruo Ning rolled over, resting one hand in front of her heart, and her hand was tightly tugging on her pajamas.

She didn't pick up the phone when it rang many times, she didn't even look at it, she knew that it should be Ren Shaochen's call.

After the phone was called until it ran out of power and automatically turned off, Ruoning's world was finally quiet, she exhaled a long breath, closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep.

It wasn't long before the door opened.

The lights in the room turned on, Ren Shaochen hurried in, and saw Ruo Ning sleeping on the bed, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Asleep?" Ren Shaochen sat on the edge of the bed and stroked Ruoning's hair, and asked in a low voice.

Ruo Ning's eyelashes flickered, opened his eyes, and his dark eyes turned to Ren Shaochen, looking at him lightly with questioning. Two years passed in a trance, and it turned out that the outside world had shifted around, and she had never realized as clearly as at this moment that the gap between them was already so big.

"Ah Ning? Why are you looking at me like that? Ren Shaochen rubbed her soft little face.

Ruo Ning turned her face away, her eyes drooped, and her voice was low and hoarse: "Why are you doing this?" ”

"Huh? What are you talking about? Ren Shaochen leaned over and approached her.

"Ren Shaochen, I already know that you invested in the museum in exchange for letting Director Jin choose me as a designer." Ruo Ning raised her eyes again, and her eyes were glowing with a cold light.

Ren Shaochen pouted for a moment, and pursed his thin lips.

"Nothing to say?" Ruo Ning's voice grew colder, and said, "I once told you that I would take the things I wanted by myself, what do you want to do behind your back?" Do you think I don't have this ability, so I need to open a backdoor with a relationship behind my back? ”

"No, Ah Ning, it's not that I don't think you're capable enough." Ren Shaochen opened his mouth to defend. He couldn't deny that he had contacted Director Jin after learning that Ruo Ning was going to participate in this venue design competition, he just felt that Ruo Ning was pressed by too many things during that time, and he thought that there was always one thing that might make her happy.

"I've always despised others for using unfair means to win this game, and it turns out that I am the one who is the most invincible." Ruo Ning chuckled self-deprecatingly, design was her most confident and proud talent, and now she actually had to rely on relationships to win.

"Ah Ning, don't think like this, if your design is not good enough, he can't accept a bad work just because I invested, this museum means a lot to Mr. Jin, he told me, he likes your design." Ren Shaochen explained that he didn't know that Ruo Ning would be so resistant to this matter.

"He prefers your investment." Ruo Ning put aside her gaze, turned around, turned her back to Ren Shaochen and said, "Go back, I'm tired and want to rest." ”

"Ruo Ning......" Ren Shaochen raised his hand and put it on her arm.

Ruo Ning took a deep breath and said, "When you go out, please close the door." ”
