Chapter 94 So this is how my little one likes to play

Shen Jingni hung her head and remained silent.

Zhao Zonglan raised his hand and stroked her cheek with his fingertips. "Books are indeed very dry, and you may not even learn anything practical from them, but they can enhance your thinking ability."

"I've added some annotations to these books. If you still don't understand anything, just come and ask me, okay?"

"oh."

Shen Jingni hugged his waist, pressed against him, looking listless. She was unhappy about having to read.

She looks so well-behaved.

Zhao Zonglan patted her head. "Of course, if you don't want to learn, I can help you build the brand. You can just sit at home and collect money without having to worry about anything. But is that what you want?"

For him, it was just a matter of course.

Personally, Zhao Zonglan hoped that Shen Jingni would be completely dependent on him, not having to do anything, but simply obediently staying with him every day.

He gave her whatever she wanted.

But he knew that Shen Jingni had her own ideas and pursuits.

He can give that much freedom.

"No, I don't want you to do it for me."

Shen Jingni looked up from his embrace, her eyes firm, but her tone arrogant: "I will study hard, but Teacher Zhao can't be too strict, and you can't say I'm stupid!"

"Teacher Zhao?"

Zhao Zonglan raised an eyebrow, leaned down and pressed his forehead against hers, his breath hot, and said with a smile, "So this is how you like to play, baby."

Shen Jingni: ?

You've misunderstood me again!

"I...I need to go back to my studies."

After saying that, she was about to leave, but Zhao Zonglan pulled her back and sat her on the desk.

He rested his arms on the table, his dark gray shirt collar slightly open, sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing the undulating veins and muscle lines.

Zhao Zonglan held her captive in front of him, the faint scent of sandalwood lingering around her nose, causing Shen Jingni to lose her senses for a moment.

He kissed her lips, his voice low and husky: "Learn here, I'll teach you."

Her slender legs were forced to wrap around his waist.

The saying goes, "Teach by word and by example."

——

Lah has been in Beijing for four or five days and will be returning tomorrow.

He arranged to meet Zhao Zonglan at Fenghua Palace to discuss matters.

Shen Jingni and Xie Chengsui were playing mahjong in the next private room.

The Middle East is incredibly wealthy, so Rahman is naturally very arrogant and wouldn't even consider a regular partner.

However, he was happy to cooperate with Zhao Zonglan. Being able to play golf and have a meal with Mr. Zhao would make the trip worthwhile.

The cooperation negotiations were almost complete.

Lach gave his assistant a look.

The pretty and capable assistant took a green velvet jewelry box out of her bag, placed it gently on the table, and then carefully opened it.

Inside is a colorless diamond, cut into an oval shape. It is very large, weighing over two hundred carats, and is pure, transparent, and flawless. It should be a top-grade D color.

Lach, puffing on a cigar, said with a sincere expression, "This diamond comes from Namibia. I acquired it by chance some time ago, and I hope Mr. Zhao will like it."

Many people know that South Africa is rich in diamonds, but countries such as Australia, Botswana, and Namibia are also important diamond producers in the world.

Namibia has the world’s richest marine diamond deposits.

More than a decade ago, at a Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong, a 118-carat D-color flawless diamond was sold for HK$221 million.

Price is secondary; the important thing is that diamonds of this size and quality are truly rare, and even money can't guarantee you can buy one.

The one that Lach gave was even more precious.

Zhao Zonglan raised his chin, indicating that Chang An should accept it.

He leaned back on the sofa, looking relaxed. "Thank you. The diamond is beautiful. My baby will probably like it."

Lach paused for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter, “Hahaha, that’s truly my honor.”

"Welcome Mr. Zhao and your baby to Saudi Arabia."

Zhao Zonglan nodded indifferently.

Song Qiyu is a typical person who has a great craving for good food.

Ever since he played mahjong with Shen Jingni last time, he had been wanting to beat her again, since there weren't many people worse than him.

Tang Shu stayed at the hospital with Tang Guanyue and didn't come today.

There were only four people at the mahjong table: Xie Chengsui, Song Qiyu, Rong Heng, and Shen Jingni.

Xie Chengsui recently acquired a beautiful woman named Su Chan, who came from Jiangnan. She was pure and innocent-looking, and had a soft, delicate voice.

It seems that Xie Chengsui likes him very much.

He has been keeping the person with him for a week now.

Su Chan was a very smart girl. She knew that this kind of situation was not something she could participate in, so she sat on the soft chair behind Xie Chengsui and watched silently.

Naturally, her gaze drifted towards Shen Jingni.

She's a very beautiful girl, both in looks and temperament, and her smile is absolutely stunning.

Women actually know how to appreciate other women better.

Su Chan was momentarily stunned by what she saw.

Xie Chengsui won the hand and glanced at her sideways: "What are you daydreaming about? Want to play a couple of rounds?"

He has always been very generous to his female companions. He will provide them with food, clothing, and entertainment as long as he can. Moreover, Su Chan is someone who has recently come to his liking.

Su Chan shook her head and said softly, "I'm not very good at it."

Xie Chengsui didn't press her. "If you're bored, you can wander around."

"Not boring."

She barely hesitated and remained obediently seated, showing no intention of leaving.

Xie Chengsui chuckled softly, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and then fell silent.

Su Chan liked to see Xie Chengsui smile, and she also liked his carefree and unrestrained nature.

Before she was with him, she only heard others say that Xie Sanye was the living Yama of the capital, a ruthless person, and she was terrified of him. But after following Xie Chengsui, she found that he was actually a very good benefactor.

Shen Jingni suffered another crushing defeat today.

With Song Yanting absent, no one was willing to let her pass the card.

They're all bullying her!

But Song Qiyu was still being sarcastic, saying, "Sister-in-law, you haven't improved at all lately. Sigh, we'll let you win the next round."

That's infuriating.

Shen Jingni glared at him and said fiercely, "No, please don't let me."

People say that one's character is reflected in their gambling skills. Even when she lost badly, Shen Jingni kept reassuring herself to stay calm and not get angry.

They certainly cannot beg for leniency.

Otherwise they'll look down on you!

At that moment, the door to the private room was opened.

The waiter at the door greeted him respectfully, "Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Zonglan stepped in, and from a distance, his gaze fell on Shen Jingni.

The little guy looked a bit annoyed, his cheeks slightly flushed, and his clear, almond-shaped eyes were looking at him with a pitiful expression.

Zhao Zonglan strode over, placed his large hand on the top of her head, and gently rubbed it soothingly. "What's wrong?"

With her support, Shen Jingni immediately felt more confident.

She pointed at the three people at the card table and complained in a spoiled voice, "Brother, they're bullying me again!"

Rong Heng: "..."

Song Qiyu: "..."

Xie Chengsui: "..."

Oh no, I forgot that Fifth Brother is right next door.
