Chapter 116: Living Apart
His nose hit Shen Zhiyu's hard chest head-on. Zhou Yunjie groaned and fell into his arms, and finally got the phone back in his hands.
"You're so excited, it seems I guessed right..."
The man spoke slowly, his deep voice tinged with a hint of teasing.
Zhou Yunjie rolled his eyes in his heart - what a guess.
She was just afraid that Shen Zhiyu would see what she and Lin Xiaotang said to him secretly on the phone.
After a struggle, the body was the first to react.
Suddenly, a strange heat surged in his lower abdomen. Zhou Yunjie's ears instantly felt hot. He hurriedly pushed Shen Zhiyu's chest and said, "Let me go."
But the pair of iron-like arms behind her waist did not move at all. She could only kneel on him awkwardly, feeling his burning body temperature through the thin clothes and the touching skin.
The heat from Shen Zhiyu continued to flow into Zhou Yunjie's body. She licked her lips nervously, feeling a little dry in the mouth.
"I'm...sleepy."
"So... sleep?"
Zhou Yunjie uttered an "Ah," his cheeks flushing slightly. "You're sleeping in this room too?"
Shen Zhiyu glanced at her amusedly, a hint of mischief flashed in his deep eyes: Do you think I should go out and sleep in the corridor?
Zhou Yunjie said awkwardly, "Didn't the agreement say we wouldn't live together?"
"The agreement also states that you must cooperate with me unconditionally."
A brief rebuttal blocked all her prepared arguments.
For a moment, the only sound in the room was the pitter-patter of raindrops hitting the window.
After a brief silence, Shen Zhiyu took action first.
He lifted Zhou Yunjie by the waist and placed her safely on the bed on her side. "Okay, go to sleep first. I have some things to take care of."
After saying that, she seemed to have just remembered the necklace, pointed to the box on the bedside table and asked, "Do you want to try it?"
Zhou Yunjie shook his head, "No... I can't accept such an expensive gift."
Shen Zhiyu looked at her tangled expression with interest, and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth: "If I didn't know you weren't so cunning, I would have thought you were playing hard to get with this answer..."
"Are you... scolding me, or praising me?"
Shen Zhiyu raised his eyebrows, a smile flashed in his eyes: Just think of it as me praising you!
After saying that, he stood up and said, "Since it's for you, you can keep it."
The tall figure disappeared from sight and the door closed with a click.
Zhou Yunjie opened the box and took a look. As expected, it was the most expensive diamond necklace of this brand.
The main diamond reflects a heart-pounding glow under the light, and the small diamonds inlaid around it are surrounded like stars surrounding the moon. Each diamond has been carefully cut and bursts into dazzling brilliance at the slightest movement of the fingers.
She couldn't help but recall the anticipation in Rong Anning's eyes when she handed the box to her, and instantly felt that the necklace in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
She didn't know how disappointed Rong Anning would be if she knew that they had arranged a marriage...
I lay down with unspeakable guilt, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Even with her eyes closed, Rong Anning's expectant smile kept appearing in her mind. Half asleep and half awake, she seemed to see Rong Anning's red eyes questioning, "Why did you deceive a lonely old man?"
She was speechless and could only cry and explain that she didn't mean it...
At midnight,
Zhou Yunjie turned over in tears and suddenly felt warm fingers gently stroking her cheek.
Suddenly, I heard an almost inaudible sigh...
