"Um..." Lan Xiaolan quietly opened the door of the room and poked her head out from the gap.
"Um?"
"I have something I might want to discuss with you." She held onto the door, hiding behind it. As she spoke, she poked her head out and glanced at Ren Tingxi. She looked like a child who had done something wrong.
"Um."
He stood there like a thousand-year-old iceberg. Ren Tingxi's eyes were as cold as a cold pond. He looked at Lan Xiaolan expressionlessly, as if waiting for her to continue speaking.
Lan Xiaolan took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and told Ren Tingxi everything she had found in the ancient tomb tonight.
"I suspect there's another tomb there, but I'm not sure if continuing to excavate will affect the completion of the construction site's foundation, so...that's why I wanted to ask you."
"Come here." Ren Tingxi said coldly.
"what?"
"I asked you to come here." Ren Tingxi ordered in a stronger tone.
"If you have anything to say, just say it here." Lan Xiaolan was still hiding behind the door of the room, not daring to come out.
Ren Tingxi put his hands in his trouser pockets, leaned back and leaned on the stool. He crossed his legs and turned to stare at Lan Xiaolan.
"Do I look like a big bad wolf that will eat you?" The man's voice was filled with helplessness and doting. Looking at the woman's slightly red cheeks, his heart was full of tenderness.
"It's obviously true!" Lan Xiaolan murmured, feeling aggrieved.
Ren Tingxi smiled helplessly: "I have a structural diagram of the cross-river bridge site here. You need to come over and tell me the specific location of the suspected new tomb you mentioned."
"Oh! Okay." Although her body was reluctant, she slowly opened the door. She lowered her head and took small steps to Ren Tingxi's side. Ren Tingxi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and gave the seat in front of the computer to Lan Xiaolan.
She sat down nervously, not knowing where to put her little hands.
Ren Tingxi stood behind her, bent down, and slowly moved his body closer to her, hugging her from behind while opening the files on the computer.
Lan Xiaolan slowly raised her head and looked at Ren Tingxi. His eyes were deep and fiery, as if he could see through her heart.
"I'm not the Big Bad Wolf," Ren Tingxi said softly, "but if you continue to be so timid, I won't guarantee anything."
Lan Xiaolan's cheeks were as red as fire, almost red enough to bleed, as tempting as a ripe apple. Her eyes flashed with shyness and embarrassment, and she didn't dare to look directly at others.
She just lowered her head and bit her lips gently. Her delicate and charming appearance made people feel pity and love.
Ren Tingxi's structural drawings are very detailed and professional, with detailed annotations on every detail, big and small. It can be seen that he is still very meticulous in his work.
Lan Xiaolan pointed to the computer screen: "Here!"
"This has reached the base of the load-bearing columns, but the impact won't be too great."
"If we continue digging here, will it cause serious consequences?"
Ren Tingxi pondered for a moment. "Are you sure there's a new tomb there? We can dig it up, but if one structure on the bridge is altered, it could have ripple effects throughout."
"No." Lan Xiaolan shook her head in disappointment: "But if we don't dig it up, how will we know what's inside?"
"sure!"
"What? Can we see what's inside without digging it up?"
"I told you, of course you can. Come with me tomorrow and you'll find out."
"That's great, Tingxi, thank you." Lan Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief as the new tomb finally had some clues. If there really was another tomb there, then it was very likely that it belonged to the tomb's owner.
Once the tomb owner is found, all the mysteries will be solved.
"Just say thank you and that's it?"
"What else?"
"At least, kiss me." Ren Tingxi took the initiative to move his face closer, closing his eyes, as if waiting for a kiss. His face was filled with happiness and anticipation, as if he was full of longing for this small request.
Lan Xiaolan pushed Ren Tingxi away with one hand and ran away shyly.
"rogue!"
The next morning, Leng Leng drove his car to the downstairs of the B&B to pick up Ren Tingxi and Lan Xiaolan to go to the construction site.
"Are all the things I asked you to prepare yesterday ready?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Ren, everything has been arranged and the machines have arrived on site."
"very good!"
Ren Tingxi took out an egg, peeled it, and handed it to Lan Xiaolan. Because it was too early, they didn't have time to eat breakfast, so they could only make do in the car.
Leng Leng had never seen Mr. Ren be so gentle to anyone before.
Suddenly, Leng Lie looked in the rearview mirror and noticed something was wrong: "Mr. Ren..." Then he tapped the rearview mirror: "That black car behind us has been following us. Do you want to get rid of it?"
"Who is it?"
"Well...it's Mr. Dai's people."
"Since when have you been following me?"
"From the first day you returned to S City, President Dai has been sending people to follow you."
Ren Tingxi crossed his legs, pounded his fists on his knees, and said thoughtfully: "It's okay, let him follow."
Leng Lie hesitated for a moment: "It's okay for you, but... Miss Lan... Mr. Dai should have known that you and Miss Lan have been staying in the B&B these days."
"I'm just worried that President Dai might embarrass Miss Lan."
Lan Xiaolan was also a little confused. Who was the Mr. Dai that Leng Lie was talking about? Why did she send someone to follow Ren Tingxi? And what did this matter have to do with her?
