Cheng Xiaoran has never been a troublemaker, but this doesn't mean that she is a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others, "Miss Wang is targeting me so much, is it because of Tingyu?" ”

"What's your name Mr. Zhou?" Wang Qianqian's delicate face distorted, "What kind of thing are you, and you deserve to be called that?!" ”

"I'm from Tingyu, I'm not worthy, are you worthy?"

Wang Qianqian was furious, "Cheap thing, you dare to talk to me like this, I have to tear your mouth today!" ”

She pounced towards Cheng Xiaoran with her teeth and claws, Secretary Li and the clerk were startled, and they were about to stop them subconsciously, but before they could make a move, a slender figure had already protected Cheng Xiaoran in her arms.

Wang Qianqian's sharp fingers grabbed the man's arm, but fortunately, he was wearing a suit and did not hurt his skin.

"Mr. Zhou?" Cheng Xiaoran's eyes widened in disbelief.

How did he end up here?

"Mr. Zhou?!" Wang Qianqian was also taken aback, she hurriedly withdrew her hand and squeezed out an ugly smile, "Why are you here?" ”

Secretary Li reacted and said apologetically: "I'm sorry Mr. Zhou, I was derelict in my duties." ”

The man didn't respond to Secretary Li, his eyes kept staring at Wang Qianqian, and the two cold lights that burst out of his eyes were so dangerous that they sent chills down his spine, "Is this Miss Wang's cultivation?" ”

Wang Qianqian's eyes were red aggrieved, "Mr. Zhou, it was Miss Cheng who spoke disrespectfully to me first, I just taught her a little lesson." ”

"My people, it's not your turn to teach you a lesson."

His people?

Cheng Xiaoran raised her head in shock, her ears "buzzing".

Growing up, no one has ever defended her like this.

"Mr. Zhou, I really didn't mean that, you misunderstood." Wang Qianqian explained anxiously.

Zhou's enterprise is almost a single-handed existence in the business world, even if she is given ten dares, she will not dare to anger Zhou Tingyu, but what is so good about this woman, at first glance, she is a wood.

The man's voice was cold without the slightest warmth, "Apologies." ”

"Okay, I apologize." Wang Qianqian looked at Cheng Xiaoran and said with a smile, "Miss Cheng, it was my fault just now, don't be angry." ”

They all said that they were forgiving and forgiving, and Cheng Xiaoran didn't plan to bite it to death, "I'm not angry, Mr. Zhou, let's buy clothes next time, I want to go back." ”

It seems that she is not suitable for this kind of place at all, and she finally has a luxury and is fishy.

Zhou Tingyu didn't listen to her, and asked the clerk with a side face: "Which one did she just fancy to?" ”

"Mr. Zhou, it's this gray coat."

"Well, pick a few more similar pieces and give them to Secretary Li."

"Okay."

After speaking, Zhou Tingyu walked out with Cheng Xiaoran.

Outside the door, a peach-eyed man was waiting for them with a smile, "Is this Miss Cheng?" It's so beautiful, no wonder Brother Yu likes it. ”

Zhou Tingyu glanced at him, "Are you very idle?" ”

"It's okay, anyway, when I go back, I listen to the old man's nagging, it's better to watch the excitement here, by the way, Miss Cheng, have you had lunch? There is a good western restaurant in this mall, do you want to try it? ”

"I'm not very good at Western food." It's good that she can eat enough at Cheng's house, where can she enjoy any Western food.

"It's okay, what's wrong with eating, let's go."

This Gu Xuan is a self-acquaintance, and he chattered endlessly and coaxed Cheng Xiaoran to a Western restaurant.

The three of them took their seats, Gu Xuan ordered steak and red wine, and asked Cheng Xiaoran for a pasta by the way.

"Miss Cheng, I see that you are in your early twenties at most, have you graduated?"

"Well, it's been a year since I graduated."

"What major?"

Cheng Xiaoran said proudly: "Jingrong." ”

"That's just right, you can go to work in the Zhou family in the future, don't you say, Brother Yu?"

Zhou Tingyu flipped through a magazine, obviously not showing any interest in this topic.

"Ahem, what's that, let me introduce myself, my name is Gu Xuan, and I am the brother of Brother Yu's childhood sweetheart."

"Be mindful of the words." Zhou Tingyu reminded coldly.

"Hahaha, I think childhood sweethearts are more appropriate."

Gu Xuan's personality is out-of-the-box, and he doesn't have much to say when he talks, but Cheng Xiaoran knows that if he can be a brother with Zhou Tingyu, his family background is definitely not simple.

After waiting for a while, the dishes were all ready, and Cheng Xiaoran faced a pile of knives and forks, and understood what it meant to be at a loss.

Just as she was in a dilemma, the man next to her pushed the steak he had cut in front of her.

"Eat this."

Cheng Xiaoran was slightly stunned and thanked softly.

"Miss Cheng, I just forgot to ask, why did you get on the bar with Wang Qianqian, that woman is notoriously spicy, and if you don't agree with three sentences, you have to beat someone, fortunately, I passed by Brother Yu today, otherwise your face will be scratched."

"I don't know, she seems to be very hostile to me."

Gu Xuan laughed heartlessly twice, "Don't you know? Wang Qianqian has liked Brother Yu for many years, and suddenly knows that there is a woman by his side, can he not be angry? ”

Although Cheng Xiaoran had already guessed that this was the reason, it still felt quite subtle when she heard Gu Xuan say it.

Being abused by a man's suitor is a special experience.

"Alright, eat." Zhou Tingyu was annoyed by Gu Xuan's nagging, and scolded with a cold face.

"Tsk, I'm still angry."

The meal ended in silence, Cheng Xiaoran said goodbye to Gu Xuan downstairs in the mall, and sat in Zhou Tingyu's car.

"Don't we have to wait for Secretary Li?"

"She'll drive her own back."

Cheng Xiaoran curled up in the corner of the back row, "Am I causing you trouble?" ”

The man drove the car and glanced at her lightly from the rearview mirror, "You said Wang Qianqian?" ”

"Well, didn't Gu Xuan say that her company has a cooperative relationship with the Zhou family?" If there is a conflict between the two companies because of today's incident, they can't afford to compensate her if they sell her.

"You're overthinking." It's just a Wang, and he doesn't care about it yet.

Speechless all the way, the car drove to the door of the apartment, Cheng Xiaoran pushed the car door and walked out, "Mr. Zhou, thank you for sending me back." ”

"Well, there's still a meeting to start in the afternoon, so I'll go first."

"Okay, stay safe on the road."

Seeing the sports car disappear from sight, Cheng Xiaoran's strength seemed to be drained, and she almost fell to the ground.

This is the first time she has been with Zhou Tingyu for so long.

When facing that man, every word she said and every expression had to be carefully considered, and if she continued like this, she would be about to have a nervous breakdown.

Ding——

The mobile phone in the bag suddenly rang, Cheng Xiaoran came back to her senses and pressed the answer, "Hey? ”

"How's it going to be done for you?"

It's Cheng Tianchong.

"There's no progress yet, you give me a little more time."

Cheng Tianchong's warm laughter came from the other end of the phone, but Cheng Xiaoran clearly heard the threat from his laughter, "Sister, I'm not in a hurry, but it's a pity that your mother may not have to wait so long." ”

Cheng Xiaoran's fingertips clenched as she held her phone, "I'll do it as soon as possible!" ”

"Hopefully, by a week at the latest, if I don't get what I want, you know the consequences."

"Toot toot."

The busy voices on the phone were like thorns, all piercing Cheng Xiaoran's body, and the heart was blurred with flesh and blood.

Why did it become like this.

She has sold her body, she has sold her dignity, and now she is going to become a spy who steals trade secrets?

The nose was pantothenic, Cheng Xiaoran took a deep breath and returned to the apartment with heavy steps.

It's night.

Autumn is a fickle day with clear skies and drizzling at night.

Cheng Xiaoran didn't turn on the lights, only the TV in the living room flickered with faint light, she was wrapped in a thin blanket, her eyes were empty, and her hands and feet were almost cold and unconscious.

week.

There was only one week, how could someone like Zhou Tingyu easily let her steal the documents?

If Mom really left her, then there was no need for her to continue to live.

In the living room, which was extremely quiet, there was a sudden sound of the key twisting, Cheng Xiaoran's body trembled, and she looked at the door reflexively.

In the next moment, the door was pushed open, the man frowned, reached out and pressed the switch, "Why don't you turn on the light?" ”

Cheng Xiaoran's eyes were a little painful from the light, she rubbed her eyes, and stood up helplessly, "Mr. Zhou, it's raining outside, why are you here?" ”

Zhou Tingyu threw the key on the table, "It's convenient to go to work tomorrow because of the company here." ”

So, is he going to stay overnight tonight?

Cheng Xiaoran felt a glimmer of light in her heart, and ran to the bathroom to get a dry towel, "Mr. Zhou, your hair hasn't dried yet, let's wipe it first." ”

"No, shall I go take a shower and make dinner?"

"No, but there's noodles and eggs in the fridge, so why don't I make the next bowl?"

"Hmm."

The dead apartment became alive again because of Zhou Tingyu's arrival, and Cheng Xiaoran was busy in the kitchen, cooking a pot of steaming noodles, and adding two tomatoes to it by the way.

She hadn't eaten enough at noon, and she didn't have much appetite when she came back in the afternoon, and now when she looked at the noodles, she realized that her stomach was already empty, and she was so hungry that she lost consciousness.

Bringing the two bowls of noodles to the living room, Zhou Tingyu just wiped his hair with some water and walked out.

He was wearing the same set of home pajamas in the cupboard, black and white plaid style, which was obviously a common outfit, and it became tailor-made on him.

Sure enough, a good-looking face is really important.

"Mr. Zhou, the noodles are cooked."

Zhou Tingyu sat at the dining table, picked up the chopsticks and tasted two bites.

"You're a good cook."

Cheng Xiaoran's ears were hot, "I often cook when I'm at home, if Mr. Zhou likes to eat, I'll cook it for you every day in the future." ”

Every day?

The meaning of these two words was too heavy, Zhou Tingyu took a sip of noodle soup and did not respond.

Quietly filled his stomach, Cheng Xiaoran packed up the dishes and chopsticks, sat on the sofa and watched the soap opera, Zhou Tingyu seemed to have endless work to deal with, he was flipping through the documents with his notebook, his fine hair was lying on his forehead, and the whole person looked a little less cold than thousands of miles away.

The rain was still falling, "crackling" against the windows, it was cold outside, but it was warm inside.

Inexplicably, Cheng Xiaoran actually had the illusion that this place was very home-like.
