"Zong..."

At 10 p.m., there was a knock on the door.

Yan Can thought it was Zong Lian, but when she opened the door, she was amused.

"Young Master is back from his business trip?"

Outside the door stood Zhou Sheng, dressed in a suit and tie.

It was the first time Yan Can had seen him dressed so formally, and she took a second look at him.

Zhou Sheng unconsciously straightened his back and tilted his head back slightly.

"how?"

"Am I handsome enough?"

He wouldn't have bothered wearing a suit if it weren't for the need to fake that he was "returning from a business trip"—it was too hot.

After all, he was a young master who was used to being carefree and unrestrained.

I don't like overly formal attire.

Yan Can nodded, "He is quite handsome."

Zhou Sheng suddenly curled his lips into a smug smile.

"That's right!"

"Look at the young master's physique, he's a natural clothes hanger, he's bound to be handsome."

Yan Can: "Why don't you talk about the face?"

Zhou Sheng curled his lip.

"Face?"

"Oh."

"When it comes to looks, who can compare to the Crown Prince!"

My cousin's face is truly stunning.

Yan Can chuckled.

Zhou Sheng's eyes lit up. "What are you laughing at? Do you think I'm wrong?"

Yan Can shook her head.

Zhou Sheng: "What is that?"

Yan Can chuckled: "I'm laughing at your self-awareness."

Zhou Sheng: "..."

He quickly slapped himself.

Just to pique your curiosity!

Serves you right for being so talkative!

While he was punishing himself and reflecting on his actions, Yan Can had already gone back inside.

"Stop hitting, come in."

Zhou Sheng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Since you have extended such a warm invitation, I, the young master, will not refuse."

Yan Can was still pouring water when she turned around and saw that Zhou Sheng was already lying on the sofa.

What kind of look is this?

She looked at a patch of dark yellow skin on Zhou Sheng's calf.

Zhou Sheng was still saying, "I'm so tired from this business trip, let me take a break here."

If we don't slow down soon, we'll be exposed.

Yan Can: "I'm talking about legs."

Zhou Sheng: "..."

He sat up abruptly, nervously smoothing his trouser leg, trying to cover it up.

"Legs? What happened to your legs?"

He smiled nonchalantly.

"My leg is fine."

Yan Can said, "Don't try to cover it up, I can see it. It's all bruised and yellowish. How many days has this injury been there?"

Zhou Sheng: "..."

How could you tell that?

He was considering what reason to come up with when Yan Can spoke again.

"You got into a fight?"

“When you’re out in the world, no one will pamper you. You need to control your spoiled brat attitude.”

Zhou Sheng: "..."

This is slander!

Even if he doesn't go out, no one will indulge him on his own turf!

However, it's good that it's slanderous.

He was struggling to come up with a suitable reason.

"There was no fighting."

Zhou Sheng embellished his words, saying, "I just stepped in to help someone in need and accidentally got a minor injury. It's nothing serious."

He was hospitalized for only a week.

It's nothing.

He suddenly remembered something.

"Speaking of which, I heard something really funny."

Yan Can asked him what it was.

Zhou Sheng immediately said, "I live..."

That was close!

I almost revealed that I was hospitalized.

Fortunately, he braked in time.

“A friend of mine was hospitalized in the orthopedics department a few days ago and heard a lame joke.”

"It is said that the president of a listed group called a nationally renowned orthopedic expert after his girlfriend scraped her leg, asking them to come to his home for a consultation."

Zhou Sheng couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

In fact, the doctors and nurses in the hospital were all laughing when the topic came up.

A wound that would have healed on its own in a few seconds.

They actually demanded that leading experts in the field come for a consultation and even requested the suspension of surgeries and meetings; it's simply outrageous.

Yan Can smiled too.

"I guess this CEO's surname is Gu."

Zhou Sheng burst into laughter.

"You guessed right, it's that idiot Gu Chen... uh... wait, how did you know?"

He heard about it when he went to the hospital to have his dressing changed.

Yan Can has never been to the hospital.

Could it be my cousin?

Yan Can said, "I guessed."

Zhou Sheng: "Really?"

Yan Can: "Believe it or not."

Zhou Sheng believed it.

Gu Chen did too many stupid things, but they were all related to sex, so he couldn't mention them to Yan Can. Instead, he asked Zong Lian where he had gone.

"It's rare to see your cousin not around."

Yan Can: "Why do you say that?"

Zhou Sheng curled his lip, "You know the answer yourselves."

It's strange, really.

My cousin and Yan Can have only known each other for a few days, but it felt like an old friend reuniting, and their relationship progressed rapidly.

That's truly enviable.

Just then, Yan Can's phone rang.

Zhou Sheng leaned forward to peek at the person making the call.

[Zong Lian]

He should have thought of that sooner.

Zhou Sheng sat back down.

The call was connected.

Zong Lian first asked her if she had eaten, and then said, "Something happened at the factory overseas, so I have to leave for a few days. I'll leave Cao Wei and Sun Wu for you to use."

Yan Can asked him, "What are you going to do?"

Zong Lian chuckled, "You forgot, I still have Lao Liu and Sima. I don't lack people around me."

now.

Liu Sima himself: "..."

Liu Sima?

Am I sentenced to be cut in half at the waist?

He was driving and couldn't hear Yan Can's voice, but he could hear Zong Lian's gentle and patient tone.

"At the latest, one week."

"I keep my word and will return on time."

"Be good these next few days...be obedient."

"You can cause trouble, as big as you want, but don't get hurt."

Liu Sima: "..."
