Chapter 565 You decide the time

Ji Wan couldn't find any excuse to refuse.

"Okay, you decide the time and place."

"Then tonight, at the 'Genting' restaurant, is that okay? I'll pick you up."

"No need, I can go there by myself." Ji Wan immediately refused.

She didn't want to have any unnecessary contact with Sun Zhou outside of work.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Wan took a deep breath, an indescribable irritation lingering in his heart.

Night falls.

Genting Restaurant, one of the city's top five-star restaurants.

When Ji Wan arrived, Sun Zhou was already waiting there.

He was wearing a well-tailored gray suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He exuded a gentle and elegant temperament, still looking like the gentle senior in college.

But Ji Wan inexplicably felt a chill.

Perhaps because she had experienced so much, she could no longer look at anyone with a simple perspective.

"Xiao Wan, here." Sun Zhou stood up and pulled out a chair for her, his movements impeccably gentlemanly.

"Thank you, Senior Sun." Ji Wan sat down and politely kept his distance.

"Don't call me senior, just call me Sun Zhou." He smiled and pushed the menu in front of her, "Look at what you want to eat."

Ji Wan didn't have much of an appetite, so he just ordered two things at random.

The dishes are exquisite and the atmosphere is elegant.

But this meal was filled with strange silence and alienation from the very beginning.

Sun Zhou tried to bring up the topic several times, but Ji Wan rejected him indifferently.

Finally, after the appetizers were served, Sun Zhou put down his knife and fork, and looked straight at her behind his glasses.

"Xiao Wan, what are your plans when Nian Nian's body fully recovers?"

Ji Wan's hand holding the knife and fork paused.

"I haven't thought that far yet."

"I have a suggestion." Sun Zhou leaned forward slightly, his voice full of temptation. "I recently bought a private island overseas. The scenery is beautiful and very peaceful. You can take Nian Nian there to recuperate for a while. It will be very beneficial for her recovery."

He paused and added.

"Of course, if you don't mind, I can go with you. I also need a rest."

Ji Wan's heart sank suddenly.

Private island?

Go with them?

These words have far exceeded the boundaries of an ordinary "senior" and "savior".

This is more like an elaborate trap.

She raised her eyes and met Sun Zhou's gaze with a cold gaze.

"I appreciate Senior Sun's kindness."

"But I won't bother you."

"Nian Nian shouldn't go abroad for too long. Wen Yan has already arranged everything. We will go somewhere else to recuperate. Don't worry about it."

She deliberately emphasized the two words "Wen Yan", as if she was announcing something, or as if she was giving a warning.

The air froze instantly.

The smile on Sun Zhou's face froze for a moment, and although it quickly returned to normal, the gloom in his eyes could not be hidden no matter what.

Rejected.

She used Chi Wenyan's name as a shield without hesitation.

His carefully prepared opening remarks were blocked just like that.

"Really? That's fine too." Sun Zhou picked up the water glass and took a sip to cover up his gaffe.

The two of them had no further communication for the rest of the time.

The meal tasted like chewing wax.

Ji Wan's mind was full of Sun Zhou's ridiculous proposal and his undisguised ambition.

Sun Zhou was thinking in his mind that since a gentle invitation didn't work, then his and Zhao Xiyue's next plan would have to be something more ruthless.

Back at the villa, the lights in the living room were warm and bright.

Chi Wenyan hadn't slept yet. He was sitting on the sofa looking through documents. When he heard the door open, he raised his head and his deep gaze fell precisely on Ji Wan.

With just one glance, he noticed that something was wrong with her mood.

"What's wrong?"

He put down the documents, stood up and walked towards her, his tall figure carrying a reassuring aura.

"You look so ugly."

Chi Wenyan reached out and wanted to touch her cheek.

Ji Wan subconsciously turned his head away and threw himself into the soft sofa without saying a word.

The low pressure on her body was almost solidifying into substance.

Chi Wenyan frowned, sat down beside her, and his tone became a little heavier.

"What did Sun Zhou say to you?"

Ji Wan was silent for a moment before repeating Sun Zhou's ridiculous proposal in a flat tone.

"Private island?"

"Do you still want to go with you?"

With every word he heard, the coldness on Chi Wenyan's body grew stronger.

When Ji Wan finished speaking the last word, the air in the entire living room was so cold that it seemed like ice chips were about to fall.

Chi Wenyan's handsome face was instantly covered with a layer of frost, and his eyes were filled with undisguised rage and murderous intent!

"What does he want to do?"

"Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions!"

He stood up suddenly and paced around the living room irritably, exuding a fierce and violent aura.

"He wants to imprison you and Nian Nian on a private island? Does he deserve it?"

"Stay away from him from now on! You are not allowed to have any contact with him again!" Chi Wenyan stopped and looked down at her condescendingly. His tone was commanding and he did not allow any objection.

Ji Wan raised his head suddenly, his eyes red, and his voice was filled with suppressed collapse.

“How do I stay away?”

"Wen Yan, tell me how I can stay away from you!"

"Nian Nian's bone marrow was transplanted from him. Although I don't want a relapse, what if it happens? Can I offend him? Do I dare to offend him?"

Every word she uttered seemed like she was roaring with all her strength, filled with powerlessness and despair.

yes.

What can she do?

Sun Zhou took advantage of her weakness and dared to make such a request so unscrupulously!

Chi Wenyan felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw her painful expression.

He walked over and hugged her tightly in his arms, with such strength that it seemed as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."

His deep voice rang in her ears, tinged with regret.

He only thought about protecting her, but forgot that she also had the responsibilities of a mother.

Ji Wan lay in his arms, her tense body finally relaxed a little, tears silently sliding down her face.

Chi Wenyan patted her back gently, but the fierceness in his eyes became more intense.

Sun Zhou.

This person has touched his bottom line.

"I'll take care of the bone marrow issue."

His voice was cold and firm.

"Then you just need to be perfunctory with him, protect yourself and Nian Nian, and leave the rest to me."

He held up Ji Wan's face and wiped away her tears with his fingertips, his eyes filled with unwavering love and a determination to gain control.

"Remember, no one can take you and the child away from me."

"If he dares to have such an idea, I will make him pay the price of being reduced to ashes."

the next day.

A rooftop café with great privacy.

Chi Wenyan made an appointment with Sun Zhou.
