Chapter 55: Tie up that sentimental scumbag (6)

"Why are you here?" Shen Zhuoyuan frowned slightly and looked at Wei Ning who was speaking. There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, but not much dissatisfaction.

"Not welcome? After all, I'm the eldest son of the Wei family. It's not too much to attend a charity party, right?"

Wei Ning raised his eyebrows. He was also wearing a formal dress today, a dark green suit, and a flashy brooch. On others, it would probably look tacky like a nouveau riche, but on him, it made him look like a frivolous playboy.

Li Ziyan just glanced at them and didn't look at them any further. He had no interest in people who were not related to the mission, and out of professional ethics, he would not do such a disrespectful thing.

On the contrary, the other party did not hide his gaze from top to bottom at all, just like a lecher who wanted to tease the girl.

Wei Ning had met Li Ziyan once before, but he hadn't paid much attention to it. Now it seemed that the rumor might actually be true. After all, Li Ziyan's appearance was truly outstanding, and her elegant temperament made her face look pure and refined. Her beautiful eyes were subtly fixed on Shen Zhuoyuan, and the emotions in them were both restrained and affectionate.

Wei Ning raised his eyebrows and whistled, but the next second he was frozen by Shen Zhuoyuan's icy gaze.

"Assist Li, go downstairs and check the progress."

"Yes, Mr. Shen."

Anyone with a discerning eye knew that Shen Zhuoyuan had deliberately sent Li Ziyan away. Although Wei Ning was very interested in Li Ziyan, he would not seek death.

"Hey, I say, you're a pretty good assistant. You look good enough to debut right away."

"Keep your eyes open and don't look around." Shen Zhuoyuan glanced at Wei Ning with a warning in his eyes. Perhaps it was due to his male possessive instinct. He couldn't stand Wei Ning's inappropriate look towards Li Ziyan. Even if it was just out of interest, he couldn't accept it.

Wei Ning exclaimed in a strange voice, "Looking at it won't hurt you, and although I love beautiful women, I don't like male beauties."

"Don't even think about attacking him."

"OK OK."

Wei Ning shrugged, his eyes filled with regret.

After the two finished their conversation, Li Ziyan came in from outside and thoughtfully brought the wait staff up with him, preparing exquisite snacks and tea.

The process sheet was also respectfully handed to Shen Zhuoyuan and Wei Ning. When Li Ziyan wanted to withdraw his hand and stand aside, Shen Zhuoyuan grabbed his wrist.

His wrist wasn't as slender and soft as a girl's, but it could still be held in one hand, leaving room for movement. It felt warm and smooth, causing Shen Zhuoyuan to fumble with it uncontrollably.

"How's your finger?"

"It's, it's much better." Perhaps because there were other people around, Li Ziyan felt a little uncomfortable. His tone was shy and restrained. He wanted to take back his hand, but he couldn't.

When she accidentally caught a glimpse of Wei Ning's gossipy and teasing eyes, the blush on her face became even more obvious.

Shen Zhuoyuan saw all of this, but did not warn Wei Ning. Instead, he enjoyed the feeling.

The wound on Li Ziyan's finger had faded a lot, leaving only a scratch. Shen Zhuoyuan touched it lightly, as if with pity. He placed his fingers on Li Ziyan's wrist, felt his pulse beating rapidly, and the smile on his face deepened.

It was unknown how long it had been, but Li Ziyan remained in this half-bent position, allowing Shen Zhuoyuan to touch his wrist in a half-ambiguous manner.

The clock struck and the charity gala officially began. Auction items were displayed on the stage, and the sounds of bidding could be heard from downstairs and upstairs.

"Is there anything you like?"

"Hmm? This... no, Mr. Shen."

"Haha, if you like someone, just tell me. I can still afford to buy you a gift." Shen Zhuoyuan supported his head with one hand and turned his head to look at Li Ziyan. His appearance was too dominant and aggressive, and once he softened, it was even more impactful. At this moment, he just had a smile on his lips and his eyebrows were soft, but it already made Li Ziyan feel a little dazed.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen, but this is not..."

"I want to give it to you, don't refuse."

“…”

Wei Ning, who was sitting on the side, was speechless. Although he knew that Shen Zhuoyuan was not serious and just had a crush on Li Ziyan's face and wanted to play around, he was still soured by Li Ziyan's flashing eyes and suppressed smile, and his heart moved...

Why does it feel like Assistant Li really likes Shen Zhuoyuan? But if it is true, then Shen Zhuoyuan is playing with other people's feelings, isn't it a sin?

But this has nothing to do with him.

The charity gala lasted for three hours. Shen Zhuoyuan spent most of the time talking to Wei Ning, and Li Ziyan could also say a few words. When the charity gala ended, Wei Ning bought a set of jade jewelry and a painting, and Shen Zhuoyuan bought a pair of diamond cufflinks.

"I have a meeting over there, so I'm leaving now. I'll come see you another day."

"Well," Shen Zhuoyuan looked at the person next to him. The other person was holding the cufflinks that the staff had brought over. "Assistant Li, let's go."

"Yes, take care, Mr. Wei."

Wei Ning smiled at Li Ziyan, got in the car and left. Li Ziyan and Shen Zhuoyuan also returned to the car together.

Shen Zhuoyuan reached out and took the cufflinks, opened the well-packaged box, took out the cufflinks, and without saying anything, grabbed Li Ziyan's wrist and put the cufflinks on Li Ziyan's wrist.

"It seems I have good taste. These cufflinks suit you very well."

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen..."

"Don't refuse. This is originally filmed for you. If there is anything you like in the future, just tell me. Do you hear me?"

Shen Zhuoyuan's hand turned to hold the back of Li Ziyan's hand, gently stroking the skin there.

His tone was unquestionable, and Li Ziyan nodded in a daze.

"Okay, you still have to go to work tomorrow, go back and rest early."

"yes."

After watching Shen Zhuoyuan go upstairs, Li Ziyan returned to the car, his eyes dim but with a hint of understanding.

"He really has the wherewithal. No wonder his former lovers flocked to him even though they knew he wasn't truly in love." "When someone like that becomes gentle and uses sweet words, it's truly impactful. Even he... seemed to be touched by that tender look."

007: "Host, are you sure?"

'You have to have it, otherwise you will give me a chance?'

007 didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

In the next few days, Li Ziyan once again confirmed one thing: Shen Zhuoyuan was indeed teasing him, and it was time for him to add fuel to the fire.

"Xiao Li, do you have any plans for tonight?"

"Mr. Shen, there are no plans. Your dinner has been reserved."

"I'm tired of eating the same takeout every day."

"Then I'll do it for you... No, no, I mean..."

"Xiao Li, you want to cook for me?" Shen Zhuoyuan said quickly, interrupting Li Ziyan. "Then it's settled. I want to taste your cooking tonight."
