Zhou Yi asked angrily, "You have done so many things, what's the use of not letting her know? Is it an ornament to have a mouth?"

Zhou Li: "......"

Zhou Yi: "If you don't say it yourself, who can guess your thoughts, Jiang Mingzhu is not a roundworm in your stomach."

Zhou Li: "She just doesn't want to guess."

With Jiang Mingzhu's brain, as long as she wants to guess, there is anything she can't guess, she is very capable, and he has already learned it.

Zhou Yi heard a strong grievance from Zhou Li's words: "Think about it yourself, which is more important, your worthless dignity or Jiang Mingzhu, remind you, there will always be a day when the investigation is over, if you don't hurry up and chase people, don't cry with me in the future."

Zhou Li was silent for a long time after hearing these words, and finally held back three words: "Got it."

When Zhou Li returned to Yuanyin Manor with a large bag and a small bag, Jiang Mingzhu happened to come down from upstairs.

Zhou Li: "Awake?"

Jiang Mingzhu: "Oh."

Her voice was cold, and she didn't sound like she was in the mood to talk to him.

Zhou Li: "I just went out and bought something."

Jiang Mingzhu's eyes swept over the shopping bags and vaguely saw that there were a lot of fresh products inside.

Zhou Li took off his coat and picked up the bag again: "What do you want to eat for dinner?"

Jiang Mingzhu looked up at Zhou Li again when he heard this.

Zhou Li's voice became even more unnatural under Jiang Mingzhu's gaze: "I haven't eaten at noon, are you hungry?"

was asked by him like this, Jiang Mingzhu's stomach really screamed twice.

The surroundings were so quiet that Zhou Li could hear them clearly.

Jiang Mingzhu subconsciously touched her stomach, her expression was a little embarrassed, and she pursed her lips without saying a word.

Zhou Li: "Let's go to the kitchen and eat something to cushion my stomach."

Jiang Mingzhu followed Zhou Li to the restaurant, she walked very slowly, and when she came in, Zhou Li was already putting things in the refrigerator.

Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li looked at each other and avoided him, and when they looked down, they saw toast slices and cheesecake on the table.

Zhou Li: "Eat toast first and then cake, eating sweets on an empty stomach will cause acid reflux."

Jiang Mingzhu was a little uncomfortable with Zhou Li's appearance, and he couldn't answer the conversation for a while, so he sat down and opened the toast bag.

When Jiang Mingzhu tore the toast slices and ate them, he suddenly had an extra glass of warm water at hand.

The knuckle-clear fingers covered the water glass, and Jiang Mingzhu's gaze was fixed there.

Zhou Li: "Don't eat too much, eat dinner later."

Jiang Mingzhu: "...... Oh."

Jiang Mingzhu watched Zhou Li go to the kitchen to be busy, staring at his back, mechanically sending toast into his mouth, and his chewing movements slowed down a lot.

Jiang Mingzhu didn't understand too much why Zhou Li suddenly treated her like this, and she was still threatening her in the morning.

Jiang Mingzhu had only eaten fried rice made by Zhou Li, but he didn't expect him to be very good at cooking other dishes.

Smelling the fragrance coming from the kitchen, Jiang Mingzhu unconsciously secreted saliva in her mouth, and she poked her head to look.

Zhou Li's body was in front of the stove, so tight that she couldn't see anything.

When Jiang Mingzhu probed his brain, Zhou Li suddenly turned around.

The eyes of the two men intertwined again.

Zhou Li: "It'll be fine soon."

Jiang Mingzhu: "What did you do?"

Zhou Li: "Three cups of chicken, is it okay?"

Jiang Mingzhu: "...... No wonder it tastes so familiar."

Three cups of chicken can be regarded as one of Jiang Mingzhu's favorite dishes, but I didn't expect Zhou Li to be right as soon as he made it.

Zhou Li: "Do you like it?"

Jiang Mingzhu: "Hmm."

Zhou Li: "Right away."

Zhou Li obviously noticed that Jiang Mingzhu's attitude towards him had improved, and his tense nerves relaxed a lot.

——

Dinner was four dishes and one soup, all made by Zhou Li.

As soon as he sat down, Jiang Mingzhu couldn't wait to taste the three cups of chicken.

Zhou Li watched her swallow and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Jiang Mingzhu nodded.

Zhou Li: "Eat slowly."

Jiang Mingzhu buried her head in the rice, and always felt that the atmosphere between her and Zhou Li was very strange now.

The dinner ended in such a silent atmosphere.

When Jiang Mingzhu was about to leave the restaurant, Zhou Li suddenly said, "Let's talk again."

Jiang Mingzhu: "What are you talking about?"

Zhou Li didn't answer, walked around the dining table to her side, held her hand, and pulled Jiang Mingzhu to the living room.

In the end, the two sat down together on the sofa, and Zhou Li's hand still did not let go.

"Someone will take care of you tomorrow." Zhou Li stared at her eyes, "I'll give you back the phone."

Jiang Mingzhu: "Oh, do you want me to say thank you?"

Her attitude was very blunt, and there was some sarcasm, undisguised.

Zhou Li: "Zhan Yubai still wants to kill you, you are safer here."

When this sentence finally came out, Zhou Li felt a sense of relief: "I'll let you go after this time."

Jiang Mingzhu: "Oh, okay."

It's still cold.

Zhou Li's heart suffocated: "Go and rest."

——

Zhou Li returned to Wanhua after a four-day "business trip", which happened to be Friday.

After the morning meeting, Zhan Yubai came to Zhou Li's office to care about him: "Are you done with Nancheng?"

Zhou Li: "Yes."

Zhan Yubai carefully observed Zhou Li's expression, his calm and cold appearance was no different from usual, and his attitude towards her was also the same.

After being taken away by the police last time, Zhan Yubai has not taken any action recently.

Jin Rou is not there, and no one in the Zhou family gives her a cover.

Zhou Li: "What do you see?"

Zhan Yubai came back to his senses and smiled gently, "You look a little tired, didn't you sleep well on a business trip?"

Zhou Li: "Well, it's a bit busy."

Zhan Yubai: "That...... Do you want to go to the hot springs together on the weekend? It's been a long time since we've been out alone."

Zhou Li: "Yes."

He agreed happily, raised his finger and rubbed his eyebrows, and then asked her, "Did the third phase of the experiment go well?"

Zhan Yubai: "It's going well, Dr. Su will be back this weekend, and I will get the experiment report back next week."

Zhou Li: "It's hard work."

Zhan Yubai was still about to say something to Zhou Li, but his mobile phone suddenly rang.

Zhou Li directly gave Zhan Yubai an eviction order, and turned around to answer the phone in the lounge.

Zhan Yubai walked out of Zhou Li's office with a complicated face, unable to guess his current thoughts.

This time...... She'll have to take some.

After Zhan Yubai returned to the office, he took out the mobile phone in his bag, unlocked it layer by layer, and opened the mailbox.

There was a new email in the mailbox.

After Zhan Yubai read the content of the email clearly, his eyes sank, and he immediately took out another mobile phone.

——

Zhou Li finished answering her aunt's call in the lounge.

He left early today, and Jiang Mingzhu hadn't woken up when he left.

Auntie called just now and said that Jiang Mingzhu had woken up for breakfast and seemed to be in a good mood.

After talking to his aunt on the phone, Zhou Li opened the WeChat conversation window with Jiang Mingzhu.

After a long time of deletion, deletion and revision, a complete message was finally issued: [Take care of yourself. 】

There was no reply for more than ten minutes after the message was sent.

Zhou Li sat at the desk staring at the screen in a daze, unintentional about work, and couldn't sit still.

A few minutes later, he couldn't help but post another one: [Sort me out. 】
