I don’t know why, but when Wen Runruan looked at Xie Jinzhi’s expression, apart from the bad premonition at the beginning, she actually had a vague feeling of wanting to hug him.
Perhaps it was because she had returned from Country F, having crossed the ocean and overcome the time difference, that Wen Runruan now felt a surge of longing in her heart when she saw Xie Jinzhi.
She was really crazy. In just two days, she seemed to be thinking about Xie Jinzhi all the time. Except when she was working, she was thinking about him wholeheartedly.
"Ajin!" Wen Ruan spoke slowly, and she seemed to feel a slight tremor in her voice.
Thinking of what JOB had said to him, Xie Jinzhi was also worried, but even the slightest tremor in Wen Ruan's voice was caught by Xie Jinzhi.
I don’t know if it’s because of my own affairs, but when I think about it, it might be because of me. If it makes Wen Ruanruan feel sad, it’s not his intention.
Xie Jinzhi wanted to explain these things himself. The little girl must be feeling uncomfortable for coming to see him so late at night. No matter what the conflict was, it would be best to resolve it quickly.
In order to prevent Wen Ruanruan from speaking first, Xie Jinzhi did not invite Wen Ruanruan in, nor did he say anything else. He went straight to the point, "Squeamish girl, I don't treat you specially because of guilt. I am willing to help you because of our old friendship, but I definitely don't use you as a vent for my own guilt. You are unique to me."
Originally, he had no intention of bringing this up with Xie Jinzhi. It was inappropriate from any perspective, not to mention that there was no relationship between him and Wen Runruan at the moment. To put it bluntly, it was just a cooperative relationship. In other words, she herself was not sure whether she and Xie Jinzhi were friends anymore.
But now he spoke in a hurried tone, as if he was afraid that she would misunderstand him, and he was stumbling and explaining in a hurry. Wen Runruan suddenly felt that the sound of her heartbeat was amplified and she could hear it clearly.
She suddenly smiled, shook the gift box in her hand, and tilted her head to look at Xie Jinzhi. Perhaps she didn't want to make things difficult for him, so she tried her best to act as if she didn't care.
"So, Jin, can I go in first?"
The little girl's voice was so soft that it brought Xie Jinzhi back to his senses. He then opened the door and got a new pair of slippers for Wen Runruan to change into.
Because Xie Jinzhi seldom invited people to his home, it was usually Qian Duo who came, and the shoes he prepared were a bit big. Wen Runruan felt that they were a bit inappropriate when she put them on, but she should have been worried if there were really women's sizes.
Xie Jinzhi noticed that the shoes didn't fit him well, and said apologetically, "Because I basically don't invite people to my house, and I'm not good at dealing with these things, only Qian Duo likes to come to see me, so I only prepared one pair of shoes. But don't worry, this pair of shoes is mine, and Qian Duo hasn't worn it yet!"
Wen Runruan silently stepped her foot inside again. She slipped every time she took a step. It was not very cold in September, and the slippers were indeed too long. But fortunately, they were not the kind of shoes for winter, otherwise they would have slipped off before she even started walking.
She shook her head and said, "It's okay, you can wear it." She did not comment on what Xie Jinzhi had just said at the door.
But after he said it all at once, Xie Jinzhi had been paying attention to Wen Runruan's reaction, but she didn't say anything at this time, so Xie Jinzhi didn't want to urge her, so he naturally followed behind.
The 185cm tall man looked a bit funny following behind Wen Runruan. Wen Runruan looked at Xie Jinzhi reflected in the floor-to-ceiling window and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
Just as she walked to the sofa, a short-legged Mankikang with round eyes staring at her rubbed against Wenruan's legs. She looked down and saw it.
Because she loved small animals, Wen Ruan immediately picked up the cat and petted it, then looked at Xie Jinzhi in surprise: "Ajin, you have a cat? What's its name?"
She shook the cat in her arms, and Doudou felt more comfortable lying in her arms. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his tail couldn't help wagging.
Very good, very impressive. Xie Jinzhi was obviously in a better mood after seeing Doudou conquer Wen Ruanruan in one go. He took the opportunity to get closer to Wen Ruanruan and then touched Doudou's head. "It's called Doudou because it likes people teasing it. Calling it Doudou doesn't sound nice, so I named it Doudou."
This explanation was quite novel. After meeting the cat, Wen Runruan seemed even calmer. In addition, the things she wanted to ask at the beginning were eagerly explained by Xie Jinzhi before he even entered the door. She didn't know what to say for a while.
"The photographer for this shoot is very interesting. He is Cass, a photographer from POLL. The theme this time is collision, so Cass invited me, an oriental-looking person." Wen Runruan lowered her head and told Xie Jinzhi about her shoot in Country F, but did not mention anything about the manor.
The movie was still playing and Xie Jinzhi didn't turn it off. This was the moment when the hero and heroine in the movie were having a heart-to-heart talk. Xie Jinzhi stared at it for a while, then pulled Wen Runruan to put the cat down, with a serious expression on his face.
"Spoiled girl, are you angry?" Xie Jinzhi couldn't figure out what Wen Runruan was thinking, but he didn't want Wen Runruan to be unhappy and keep it in her heart.
He could explain what JOB said to her. Normal people would have some misunderstandings for some reasons. He didn't want to be misunderstood by Wen Ruan, so he naturally wanted to explain urgently.
Wen Ruanruan shook her head, then handed him the watch she had bought for him. When he opened the box, he found a black watch inside. The black gemstones inlaid inside were of very good quality, and with the natural crystal diamonds and the logo engraved on the surface, Xie Jinzhi knew that the watch was worth a lot of money.
Just as she was about to refuse, Wen Ruan spoke up, "Ajin, don't refuse. Accept it. Now let me tell you about what you just explained to me."
Because he wanted to hear Wen Runruan's thoughts and had prepared a gift in advance, Xie Jinzhi accepted it.
"Ajin, when I first heard what JOB said, I was not angry at all. I felt a little sad and a little doubtful of myself, but I was never angry with you from beginning to end." Wen Ruanruan paused. Doudou was rubbing against her again, so she bent down and picked it up.
She continued, "I don't think I have the right to question you. Whether you treat me well or not is your business. If you don't treat me well, I won't treat you well either. All your kindness towards me is something I feel for myself. It's genuine and unadulterated. How can I be angry with you for this?"
"It's just Ajin, I'm very scared..." Wen Runruan paused again, not knowing whether she should say this, but after hesitating for a while, Wen Runruan finally chose to tell him.
"Ajin, I'm afraid that you and I can only go this far." Wen Runruan said this in an obscure way. She was not so straightforward. At the beginning, she told Xie Jinzhi that she liked him as if she had completed a task, but at that time, she didn't really like him.
When I really fell in love, I didn't dare to be that bold anymore.
