Liang Cong choked on Jiang Mingzhu's words.

He was a little curious about where Jiang Mingzhu got his annual salary, but he couldn't ask directly.

Liang Cong: "Miss Jiang, let's go see Mr. Zhou, I'm busy."

After saying that, he quickly avoided Jiang Mingzhu and left, as if he would be punished if he said anything more to her.

Jiang Mingzhu couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Liang Cong's back, it was too hard to be an assistant to Zhou Li.

Jiang Mingzhu went to Zhou Li's office habitually did not knock on the door, and sure enough, as soon as he pushed the door in, he saw Zhou Li sitting at his desk with a gloomy aura, not knowing what information he was reading.

Anyway, it was a dissatisfied expression.

After hearing the office door being pushed open, his aura became even more awe-inspiring, and when he looked up, he had the posture of settling a score.

But after seeing Jiang Mingzhu, the questioning words were suddenly stuck in his throat.

Jiang Mingzhu closed the door and walked to the desk, and looked at him with a smile after stopping.

Zhou Li: "Why are you here?"

It's a cold tone, and it doesn't sound very welcoming.

But this is not difficult for Jiang Mingzhu.

Jiang Mingzhu immediately walked around the desk and came to him, and sat on his lap as he had done countless times before.

didn't give Zhou Li a chance to push away at all, Jiang Mingzhu's arm was already wrapped around his neck.

Then she kissed him on the chin again, "Of course I'm here to coax you."

Zhou Li: "What do you coax me to do?"

Jiang Mingzhu: "Because I secretly ate desserts behind your back, I made you angry."

She never shies away from admitting mistakes, but she is also justified when she does.

Zhou Li: "Huh."

Jiang Mingzhu held his face again and kissed him: "Don't be angry."

Zhou Li: "I know I'll be angry and eat."

Jiang Mingzhu: "...... I forgot for a while."

Zhou Li: "Oh, what I said can be forgotten at any time."

Jiang Mingzhu: "......"

always felt that the two of them had a feeling that they had taken the wrong script, and Zhou Li's line should have been clearly for her.

Zhou Li successfully asked Jiang Mingzhu to be speechless, "The quota during the Spring Festival has run out."

Jiang Mingzhu pursed her mouth aggrievedly: "Okay."

The most important thing is to make your boyfriend happy: "Can you forgive me now, my dear boyfriend?"

Zhou Li: "Yes."

Jiang Mingzhu: "I ran into Liang Zhu when I came over just now, and you used him as a punching bag again?"

Zhou Li paused and frowned, "He said that?"

Jiang Mingzhu: "How dare he say that yours is not, I guess."

Zhou Li: "Huh?"

Jiang Mingzhu: "Don't you always use others as punching bags?"

Zhou Li: "...... Yes?"

Jiang Mingzhu: "Yes."

She gave Zhou Li a few examples, and her expression gradually became serious: "Liang Zhu works so seriously, and he is heartbroken for your affairs, such an assistant may not be found even if you offer a higher price, and he has been with you for so many years, you don't always want to be like this."

Jiang Mingzhu said very seriously, Zhou Li was driven by her emotions, and she also reflected seriously.

After thinking about it, it was indeed because of the bad mood just now that it affected Liang Cong.

Not only just now, when he didn't confirm the relationship with Jiang Mingzhu before, Liang Cong worked even harder.

A few minutes later, Zhou Li said, "I will give him a bonus."

Jiang Mingzhu knew that Zhou Li had listened to it, and his expression was not as serious as just now.

She smiled and said, "I really envy Assistant Liang for having such a generous boss, and he wants to raise his salary again."

Zhou Li: "Then you come too."

Jiang Mingzhu has not resigned until now, and Zhou Li will not let go of any opportunity to dig into the wall.

Jiang Mingzhu: "Unless you let me be the boss lady."

week

Gift: "......"

They all know what is behind this phrase.

When talking about getting married, Zhou Li suddenly fell silent.

He seemed to be a little evasive about this topic, Jiang Mingzhu had discovered this a few times before.

It could be premarital fear.

Jiang Mingzhu is not very urgent about getting married, just a joke just now, and he didn't think about forcing marriage.

Zhou Li didn't reply, and the topic passed.

——

On the day of departure, Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li met Jiang Jin in the basement of Beicheng Airport.

After knowing the relationship between Jiang Jin and Jiang Mingzhu, Zhou Li's hostility towards him was not as serious as before.

But the precaution remains.

It's a natural instinct.

As soon as someone gets close to Jiang Mingzhu, his radar will be activated.

And Jiang Mingzhu was also extraordinarily cooperative, holding Zhou Li's arm and laughing and coaxing the whole time, for fear that he would be angry.

Jiang Jin didn't have any opinions on Zhou Li before, but when he changed his identity and watched Zhou Li again, he always felt that Jiang Mingzhu was too used to him.

After checking in, Jiang Jin asked Jiang Mingzhu, "Do you drink coffee?"

"Don't drink." Without waiting for Jiang Mingzhu to speak, Zhou Li refused for her first.

His tone was tough, with a hint of saber-rattling.

Jiang Jin: "......"

Jiang Mingzhu: "You can help me get a cup of oat milk or almond milk, I can't drink coffee because I have a bad stomach."

She habitually explained to Jiang Jin: "Zhou Li, he is worried about my body like this, don't you mind."

Jiang Jin nodded at Jiang Mingzhu and asked Zhou Li again, "Latte or American?"

Jiang Mingzhu: "Latte, less ice."

She remembered Zhou Li's habits very clearly.

——

Because it was a check-in process done together, Jiang Jin, Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li's positions were only separated by a corridor.

Jiang Mingzhu was naturally arranged by Zhou Li in the window position, and not long after taking off, she fell asleep.

Jiang Jin saw Zhou Li take a blanket and cover Jiang Mingzhu on his body, and his movements were very gentle.

After covering it, I also carefully adjusted the position of her head to make her sleep more comfortable.

Jiang Jin was the first time to see Zhou Li take care of people like this, so he could indeed see that he cared about Jiang Mingzhu.

When Zhou Li covered Jiang Mingzhu with a blanket and turned around, he happened to meet Jiang Jin's gaze.

Jiang Jin: "You take good care of her."

Zhou Li: "She's my girlfriend."

The implication is that she should be taken care of no matter how she is.

Jiang Jin: "Is she not well?"

He recalled Jiang Mingzhu's words before, as if he had heard her say this more than once, "What's wrong? Have you seen a doctor?"

Zhou Li: "Stomach cancer."

As soon as these two words came out, Jiang Jin's face immediately tensed.

The face that was usually so serious that there was no wave showed an expression of disbelief.

Zhou Li followed behind and added, "It's all right."

Jiang Jin felt incredible: "She's so young, how could she—"

Zhou Li: "Because you don't know what she has been through before."

Jiang Jin was silenced by Zhou Li's words.

This is true.

Seeing that Jiang Jin was speechless, Zhou Li spoke again: "Kinship testing can also be done in Beicheng, you must ask her to go back to California with you, what is the purpose?"

Zhou Li asked, and Jiang Jin finally knew where his hostility towards him came from: "Are you afraid that the Wen family will take her away?"

"You don't have to worry about it at all." Jiang Jin glanced at Jiang Mingzhu, "Even if the Wen family really has this thought, she will not be separated from you for the sake of our relatives who came out of thin air."
