Chapter 23 Be Friends First



The hustle and bustle of Lincheng in the middle of the night looked extremely luxurious. Wen Runruan couldn't help but sigh that Lincheng's nights were really full of lights and wine.

The airport was quite crowded at the moment, and the lights made the entire lobby as bright as day. Xie Jinzhi pushed the suitcases and led everyone to the rented bus, while Wen Ruan and Ruan had brought their own car before arriving.

Wen Heng's voice suddenly appeared: "Trigger the mission, please invite the male protagonist to ride with you!"

Accustomed to the system's elusiveness, coupled with her understanding of the plot and the plot that has now been distorted by herself, Wen Runruan feels that she can handle any task well now.

Everyone stood by the car and put their luggage in the storage area. Xie Jinzhi stood nearby. Wen Ruanruan looked at Xie Jinzhi, then walked over to him and said, "Director Xie, please leave more space for them. You and I can ride in the same car!"

Xie Jinzhi, who was standing nearby watching everyone put their belongings away in an orderly manner, noticed Wen Ruanruan. When she made the invitation, Xie Jinzhi looked at her and said, "I've calculated the location of the car, no more, no less."

"Director, a seat is broken!" The staff were talking among themselves, and a man came running over from a distance to report to Xie Jinzhi.

Wen Ruanruan smiled happily upon hearing this and looked at Xie Jinzhi, her eyes full of pride, practically offering him a pillow when he was sleepy: "Let's go, Director?"

The staff watched the interaction between the two, lowering their eyebrows and waiting for Xie Jinzhi to speak. Finally, Xie Jinzhi shook his head helplessly, chuckled and tapped Wen Ruan's forehead: "The fox's tail is exposed."

Finally, he turned to the staff and said, "I'll take Wen Ruanruan's car. You guys go ahead."

The man dragged his strong legs and ran away, with a smile on his face like an aunt who had eaten a melon, and it seemed that he had realized something.

However, Wen Runruan achieved her goal, and this misunderstanding actually helped her strategy. Xie Jinzhi looked at Wen Runruan, who looked particularly tall in front of her at 185cm tall. Wen Runruan smiled and bent her arm, tapping her phone to signal Xie Jinzhi to take her arm: "Director, let's go!"

But Xie Jinzhi actually didn't really want to get into Wen Runruan's car. In the entire crew, the only people he was familiar with were probably Qian Duo and Li Qiming.

He is not that good at dealing with people. He can accept it, but generally avoids it if possible. Now that the two of them are in the same space, Xie Jinzhi has a headache. How to find topics to talk about?

He declined Wen Runruan's offer of arm and finally followed Wen Runruan into the car.

The staff member ran back to the car and started laughing slyly, then sat down and gossiped with others: "I'm telling you, I feel like there's definitely something fishy going on between the director and Miss Wen. You don't know, but Director Xie's smile just now was so smug and gentle. I haven't seen the director smile like that in almost a month."

At this time, Qian Duo came over and asked, "Have you asked the director?"

The staff member stopped immediately and looked at Qian Duo awkwardly: "Assistant Qian, the director said we should take Miss Wen's car..."

Perhaps he was thinking of what Xie Jinzhi had said before about Wen Ruanruan confessing his love for him, and finally he said lightly: "Okay, let's go."

After Qian Duo walked away, the man began to describe in detail again. His voice was not loud, but Li Jiaojiao was sitting not far away. She listened to what they said with such hatred that her teeth were clenched and veins were bulging in her hands.

Damn it, why did Xie Jinzhi want to go? Thinking of her arrangements, she couldn't help but open her phone and send a text message.

Li Qiming was sitting next to her and heard the conversation between the two people. He looked at his daughter sitting next to him and finally sighed distressedly: "You, even if someone doesn't like you, you can't force them to do it. There will definitely be someone who wants my daughter, it's just that he hasn't appeared yet."

These words were spoken sincerely, but Li Jiaojiao did not respond at all. Li Qiming was helpless seeing this. He just said that it was difficult for her to accept the reality, but she would know to give up after a long time.

Wen Runruan sat back in the car, looked at Xie Jinzhi who was sitting straight and stiffly, and smiled gently, her almond-shaped eyes full of smiles.

She leaned forward and looked at Xie Jinzhi face to face: "Director, you make me look like a bandit. You are my wife."

The girl's sparkling eyes were looking straight at him at this moment. Xie Jinzhi was disturbed by the girl's approaching figure and didn't know how to respond. The faint scent of myrtle perfume spread between the two of them, and Xie Jinzhi finally recognized the scent he smelled last time.

He distanced the two of them because he felt that Wen Runruan was a little difficult to deal with. Compared with his previous suitors, Wen Runruan was really too enthusiastic.

"Girls should be more reserved! Sit back, you're too close." Xie Jinzhi stretched out his fingers and pressed them on Wen Ruanruan's shoulder, pushing her away with a little force.

Wen Ruanruan looked at the boy's hand, unable to believe she was rejected again. Isn't it said that people are obsessed with looks? Why didn't he react even when I was so close?

In fact, although Xie Jinzhi is obsessed with looks, he is simply looking at people with appreciation. He will have a good impression, but not to the point of falling in love.

Xie Jinzhi had always been serious and rigorous about relationships. Wen Ruan, however, was completely unaware of this and felt very aggrieved. She sat back in her seat, staring out the window angrily, indicating that she didn't want to talk to Xie Jinzhi.

A quiet and awkward atmosphere spread in the car. The two bodyguards turned a blind eye, one concentrating on driving and the other concentrating on observing.

After waiting for a long time and seeing no one coming to comfort her, Wen Runruan started pretending to send messages to someone, opened her WeChat avatar and sent a voice message.

"I'm so pissed off! Why are straight men so annoying? They can't comfort anyone at all. I'm already pissed off even when I don't see it!"

After sending the message, Wen Runruan turned off the phone again and turned to look at Xie Jinzhi.

When she sent the message just now, Xie Jinzhi knew that the little girl was being spoiled again. His amber peach blossom eyes were now looking at Wen Ruan.

In order not to embarrass the lady, Xie Jinzhi moved a little closer to Wen Ruanruan: "You are angry, but, Wen Ruanruan, we are not a couple."

Seeing Wen Ruanruan about to cry but not crying, Xie Jinzhi stopped talking, and after choosing his words, he comforted her: "I didn't say you were bad, and I didn't push you away, but I'm not good at dealing with people."

The boy explained to Wen Runruan carefully, word by word. He said that he did not mean it and that he was not good at speaking, but it was obvious that what he said was very polite.

Wen Ruanruan completely lost her temper, "I know, I can tell you even if you don't want to, I just... want to be close to you."

Wen Ruan lowered her head in shame, feeling a bit embarrassed for having said so directly. Xie Jinzhi sighed above her head: "I don't object to you pursuing me. You have the right to pursue me, but I hope you have thought it over carefully. Things like love are not something you can just do casually."

These are the words Xie Jinzhi said to Wen Ruanruan in the original book.

At that time, Wen Runruan had not yet been snatched away by the heroine Xie Jinzhi, and even after confessing her love, she received Xie Jinzhi's gentle treatment, which is what Xie Jinzhi said.

For some reason, Wen Ruan felt something was amiss. She looked up and stared closely at Xie Jinzhi. His words, spoken in a mature state, left a mark on Wen Ruan, who had originally been focused on completing her mission.
