The next afternoon, Wen Zhaoye made an excuse to go to the company to deal with the backlog of work from the past few days.

Li Zhu helped him sort out the less important contracts and documents, saving him a lot of time.

Just then.

Zhou Jin and Zhou Jinyan opened the door and came in, while Li Zhu, sensing the danger, went out.

Zhou Jinyan sat on the sofa and, glancing at the hickeys on his neck, teased:

"Finally here. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was dead in bed."

Wen Zhaoye didn't raise his head, but a faint smile appeared on his lips as he said:

"You've come at the perfect time. Which of you will come with me to a cocktail party tonight?"

Zhou Jin said, "I won't go. Song Yan hasn't been feeling well lately, and I need to stay with her."

Wen Zhaoye nodded and said:

"Then Jinyan, come with me."

Zhou Jinyan has been frequently traveling abroad to study design lately, and now that she has some free time, she naturally has no reason to refuse.

The party was held at the largest hotel in the city center of Hong Kong, where celebrities gathered and clinked glasses. The stars could only sit in a small corner as supporting characters, while the man on the stage was giving a speech.

Wen Zhaoye's identity was no secret in high society. Surrounded by people flattering him, he sat at the table with an indifferent expression, only occasionally replying with a few words before raising his glass to drink.

Jiang Peitian had to come alone from the company because of some business, while Wen Jiaojiao drove over alone with Qi Meijing and Jiang Ci from home.

Qi Meijing sat with a group of wealthy women, while Wen Jiaojiao and Jiang Ci were seated next to her.

Jiang Ci looked at everyone with boredom, then stood up and said:

"I need to use the restroom first."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Just then, Zhou Jinyan came out of the restroom, and the two locked eyes.

Zhou Jinyan, dressed in a suit, made his handsome face appear cold, aloof, and noble. As Jiang Ci was about to raise her hand to greet him, he politely nodded and then... left directly.

Jiang Ci stood there awkwardly, then realized what was happening and said:

"etc."

Zhou Jinyan paused, turned around, and said in a calm tone:

"What is it now, Miss Jiang?"

People were passing by occasionally. Jiang Ci remembered Li Tiantian's words, her face flushed, and she whispered:

What exactly is your purpose?

Zhou Jinyan was taken aback for a moment, then reacted, a faint smile playing on his lips as he said:

"What? Miss Jiang, do you think I have some ulterior motive?"

Although Jiang Ci believed Li Tiantian's words, she couldn't bring herself to say them. Her face flushed red as she said:

"You tell me."

Looking at her shy expression, Zhou Jinyan chuckled softly.

"There's a bit of a hidden story, but I can't say anything about it right now."

Jiang Ci was a complete sucker for good looks. Looking at his refined and alluring smile, her face flushed even more, and she tentatively spoke:

"Can you tell me your name?"

Zhou Jinyan followed her lead and said:

"I have a purpose, but I can't say it yet."

Jiang Ci's exposed skin was flushed red, and she blurted out:

"You are very beautiful, just my type."

Zhou Jinyan roughly guessed the meaning behind her words, but did not continue the conversation:

"Yes, thank you for the compliment."

Sweetie was right after all. This guy is really cunning. I've already been so open with him, but he still doesn't intend to expose himself.

Jiang Ci tilted her head in disbelief and said with difficulty:

"Can I treat you to a meal?"

Zhou Jinyan said tactfully:

"I'll probably be flying abroad again tomorrow noon, let's make time for another meeting."

Jiang Ci said in one breath:

"Then let's make breakfast tomorrow."

Zhou Jinyan: "..."

Isn't she exactly the silly daughter of a landlord?

The kind of woman who would even help count the money after you sold her.

Jiang Ci: "If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your agreement. Let me tell you, playing tricks won't work; you have to be sincere."

Zhou Jinyan's peach blossom eyes were filled with a bright smile, and she nodded politely, saying:

"Yes, yes, you're right." Could this girl be thinking that I like her because we've met a few times?

Jiang Ci smiled slightly, in a very good mood, and said:

"Where and what time should we meet tomorrow morning?"

Zhou Jinyan gazed at her with a playful smile in his eyes. As she became increasingly flustered and embarrassed by his gaze, he raised a brow and said:

"The coffee shop we ran into last time."

Jiang Ci's gaze swept over his face, a simple, honest smile appearing on her face as she said:

"Then it's settled."

Zhou Jin said: "Miss Jiang is at least in the entertainment industry."

There was a hidden meaning in his words; Jiang Ci understood that he wasn't so easily swayed by a man's appearance.

She whispered, "You're even prettier than them."

Zhou Jinyan stared intently at her expression, then calmly turned around and said:

"See you tomorrow then."

Jiang Ci returned to her seat, and Li Tian happened to have switched seats with someone else and was sitting next to her. Jiang Ci said:

"Let me tell you, I've met a handsome man. I've met him several times already. Today I made things clear to him, and we'll have lunch together tomorrow morning."

The news of Wen Jiaojiao's kidnapping was completely kept under wraps, and no one knew about it. Li Tian became interested and said:

"The one you mentioned last time?"

Jiang Ci said, "Yes, we met again today."

Li Tian clicked her tongue and said:

"See? This kind of man is cunning. He even went so far as to sneak in just to run into you."

Wen Jiaojiao was speechless as she watched the two of them so engrossed in guessing.

Why are all the people here as prone to fantasy as Wen Zhaoye?

With such tight security here, can't people just come through properly?
