Chapter 240 I Didn’t Hide From You

On the other side of the city, dusk gradually fell and the lights came on.

Shen Zhiyu sat in the driver's seat of a black Maybach, the window half-rolled. The night breeze, carrying the moist scent of river water, brushed against his cheeks. He gazed at the calm surface of the Pujiang River, his eyes reflecting the surging undercurrent.

He tapped his fingers on his knees, again and again, and suddenly things became a little messy.

At this age, he had seen countless people and had experienced several women, Zhou Yunjie being just one of them. But it was this woman who made him experience the feeling of losing control for the first time.

Those carefully constructed defenses were so fragile in front of her that they could not withstand a single blow. She could always easily disrupt his established pace, just like now, when he should have been handling the dinner at the summit venue with ease, but for some unknown reason he drove out to chase her.

In this marriage of convenience, he originally held absolute control and believed he was the one pulling the strings. But at some unnoticed moment, the strings had quietly shifted, and he became the one being pulled by Zhou Yunjie.

She was hiding from him, so he took the initiative to approach her.

When she took the initiative to approach him, he responded even more enthusiastically than she did.

The river remained calm, but his thoughts became increasingly confused.

He opened the cigarette box, took out a cigarette, and twisted it between his fingers, but suddenly he no longer had the urge to smoke. An unfamiliar urge surged in his chest, stronger than any before.

This time, what he wanted was no longer a short-term possession, but to completely bring the woman who was always dodging into his territory.

…

The one who tossed and turned in bed that night was not only Shen Zhiyu who finally saw clearly into his own heart, but also Zhou Yunjie who made him upset.

After a night of fragmented dreams, Zhou Yunjie woke up in chaos.

I got out of bed with two swollen eyes and sat there for a while. The idea in my mind became clearer and firmer.

She had a day off today and didn't have to go to work. After washing and getting ready, she took a bus to Xinglai.

As soon as she entered, the receptionist was surprised to see her, "Sister Yunjie, you're back?"

Zhou Yunjie smiled and nodded. "How are you doing lately? Is work going well?"

The girl at the front desk chuckled and whispered, "Ever since Manager Chen was transferred, our lives have been much better..." Then she asked Zhou Yunjie, "Sister, are you here for a meeting?"

"No, I have something else to do." She checked the time and said, "I'm going upstairs first. We can talk when I have time."

Only after getting in the elevator did she send a WeChat message to Shen Zhiyu, asking if he was in Xinglai.

This time the message came back quickly, a short word, "Here."

Zhou Yunjie thought for a moment and replied, "Then please ask your secretary to pick me up on the 27th floor."

When she reached the 27th floor, she got off the elevator and waited quietly in the corridor, looking down at her phone.

Shen Zhiyu did not reply to the message she had just sent. She didn't know if he had seen it. When she was hesitating whether to call and ask, the elevator on the other side sounded its arrival tone.

A tall and long-legged man walked out.

Zhou Yunjie didn't expect that he would come down to pick him up in person, and he was stunned for a moment.

"I thought you were going to hide from me for a while?" Shen Zhiyu lowered his eyes and looked at her.

"I'm not hiding from you."

Shen Zhiyu's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at her drooping hair. He stopped teasing her and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

Zhou Yunjie waited until the man in front entered the elevator before he slowly followed him in.
