Hearing this, Wen Runruan couldn't help but laugh. She turned her head casually and glanced at him. She remembered how he hugged her before he left. She was anxious at first, but now she thought about it, she could really see some hostility in him.

"He is the owner of this restaurant, the grandson of the Chinese painting master Qiu He, Qiu Ziyuan, and the current president of the China Painting Association. He opened this restaurant purely because he likes it, and we met by chance." She finished the last bite of the dish and looked at the time.

Picking up her phone and bag, she saw Qian Duo and Wen Heng still arguing. She shook her head helplessly and turned to look at Xie Jinzhi: "Shall we go?"

Seeing that the little girl should be full, he nodded and stood up, smoothing the wrinkles on his body, "Let's go."

It was only after Wen Ruanruan paid the bill that Wen Heng realized the banquet was over. He then scolded Qian Duo a few more times, leaving him pointing at Wen Heng from behind, looking unhappy.

"What did you say that made people so angry?" Wen Runruan was a little curious. She admired Qian Duo for his ability to keep fighting despite failures.

Wen Heng flaunted his bangs and said proudly, "He said he's not as handsome as me!"

“…” Yeah, most people can’t say that.

It was funny for a moment. Xie Jinzhi was silent beside him. Even though they had known each other for a month, he didn't communicate much with Wen Runruan's assistant. On the contrary, Qian Duo quarreled with Wen Heng every day.

He looked at the handsome Wen Heng, and for some reason his mind suddenly recalled the first time they met.

When he came down, he saw a lot of people gathered in a circle. When he asked, he found out that it was the assistant Wen Runruan mentioned. As the crowd dispersed, his eyes looked at him, seeming a little alert and provocative.

But he didn't understand what was so special about himself that made him treat him like this, and then he thought it was his own illusion, because every time they met after that, Wen Heng behaved very properly, as if he really had seen it wrong in his eyes that day.

Qian Duo often quarreled with him, and would complain to him after the quarrel. He had heard Qian Duo say more than once how shameless Wen Heng was.

Perhaps because Xie Jinzhi was too quiet, Wen Ruan thought Xie Jinzhi was experiencing social anxiety again and didn't know how to speak. After walking up to Xie Jinzhi, Wen Ruan looked at him and said, "Director? I'm curious, why did you agree to let me shoot a commercial during the filming?"

The man lowered his head and looked at Wen Ruanruan's soft head, then took a step forward, and Wen Ruanruan spread his legs and followed him.

His calm voice echoed again, "You didn't break any rules, you completed your scenes, and filming didn't get delayed. I don't think there's anything to be suspicious about."

It was very strange. He began to think about himself. From the time he met her until now, he seemed to be more and more tolerant of her. It was undeniable that as a face control, Wen Runruan's face was really charming in the eyes of Xie Jinzhi, but he had to admit that the excessive intimacy and Wen Runruan's occasional approach after the last car accident were disturbing his heart.

I don’t know what this feeling is, but it is obvious that Xie Jinzhi began to consider the reasons for his emotional fluctuations towards Wen Runruan.

The man said it very casually, and even felt that this matter was very normal. Wen Ruan walked on tiptoe behind him, also thinking about something.

"Xie Jinzhi, do you have someone you like?" The little girl's soft and tender voice came from behind. In front of her was a large group of people from the crew. Xie Jinzhi paused and then responded.

"I've never liked anyone."

His answer surprised Wen Ruanruan. So, the last kiss was their first kiss?

The sudden thought made Wen Runruan's cheeks a little hot. After leaving the restaurant, the hot wind outside without the cold air made Wen Runruan feel a little uncomfortable. She looked at Xie Jinzhi's clothes and saw that he didn't show any sign of sweating.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s too hot or Wen Runruan is feeling agitated, but in short, she feels a little hot now.

There was a small stand selling popsicles on the street. She called out to Xie Jinzhi, "Director, do you want some popsicles?"

Being asked about this suddenly, Xie Jinzhi was a little confused. The change of topic made him a little at a loss when he looked at Wen Runruan.

"What?" The peach blossom eyes that had always been indifferent and lovely now held some doubts. When those sparkling eyes looked at her, Wen Runruan could clearly hear the sound of her heartbeat at this moment.

She smiled, and her curved eyes were like a crescent moon, full of starlight shining through the dark night, and were captured by Xie Jinzhi.

"Do you want to eat popsicles?" Wen Ruan asked again.

"Chocolate popsicle." Xie Jinzhi answered.

She turned and ran to the convenience store. Xie Jinzhi watched the little girl lying on the freezer with her head down, rummaging through it for a while, and then took out two chocolate crispy popsicles.

After paying, the little girl thanked him obediently and ran back. The wind caused by her speed blew her beautiful hair backwards.

Qian Duo is urging us.

"Here! Chocolate crispy!" Wen Runruan handed the popsicle to Xie Jinzhi, then tore open the bag and stuffed it into her mouth.

The cool touch made Wen Ruan sigh, and the heat that had just risen in her subsided slightly. Xie Jinzhi also tore open the package, but he was surprised to see Wen Ruan eat it without hesitation.

He thought that a young lady like Wen Ruanruan would definitely not eat popsicles bought on the street, at the very least they would be Haagen-Dazs.

Seeing that Wen Ruan was enjoying the meal, he took a bite. The crispy crust made a crunching sound, and the aroma of chocolate spread throughout his mouth. It was very sweet.

It is not known whether the chocolate crisps are sweeter or the girl eating the chocolate crisps is sweeter.

"Why are you so slow?" Wen Heng ran from the front to the back and saw two people eating popsicles. He started to yell again, "I was wondering why you two were eating alone in the back?"

Hearing Wen Heng's shout, Wen Ruanruan covered his mouth with her hands. She leaned close to Wen Heng's ear and said, "I'm warning you, I'm cultivating a relationship with the mission target. If you think it's unimportant, just shout, and shout louder!"

Wen Heng shut up, then ran out again with a sly look on his face. Before leaving, he whispered in her ear, "You're making excuses!"

Yes, Wen Runruan knew that she was moved, but she couldn't tell whether it was because of the many contacts they had to make during their time together due to the mission or because she really fell in love with Xie Jinzhi.

The most urgent thing is to finish this scene quickly and start the next stage. She knows that she needs a strategy, but she also needs to understand whether she really likes Xie Jinzhi.

If she doesn't like him, she can dump Xie Jinzhi after the mission is over. She also has a way to ensure that Xie Jinzhi's favorability towards her does not decrease at all, so that she can be considered to have completed the mission.

"Director Xie, let's go!" She smiled again, but this smile seemed a bit ironic in Xie Jinzhi's eyes. Finally, she glanced at Wen Runruan.

Before Wen Ruanruan came forward, he distanced himself: "Let's go!"
