Chapter 23 Respond to Me
Shen Jingni originally planned to take several designers to Shanghai for Christmas, as a team building trip.
They can also go to Disneyland, which young girls love.
She has two villas there, which Shen Qingyan bought.
But Zhao Zonglan wanted to take her to Yangzhou, saying it was to go on vacation to a friend's hot spring resort.
He's probably going to meet his friends.
As a contract girlfriend, Shen Jingni couldn't refuse.
However, she brought Chu You with her.
Zhao Zonglan's social circle is different from hers.
Those scions of prominent families, whose ancestors were truly wealthy and noble, all possessed an air of pride from a young age and had distinct personalities.
If she were to encounter a difficult young lady from a wealthy family, she and Chu You would at least have each other's company.
Song Yanting's hot spring resort was built a few years ago.
But I haven't come here to visit much. It was renovated again at the beginning of this year.
This villa covers a large area and is backed by rolling mountains. It combines European architectural style with Chinese garden style, which is luxurious and elegant.
In order to make time to play, Shen Jingni has been severely sleep-deprived these past few days, and she fell asleep on the plane in a daze.
She was so tired that she didn't wake up when Zhao Zonglan carried her off the plane.
When I woke up, the Rolls-Royce had already driven to the foot of the mountain.
Nestled in Zhao Zonglan's arms, Shen Jingni opened her sleepy eyes, looked around, and frowned. "Where's my assistant?"
Zhao Zonglan was looking at his phone and didn't look up. "She was in the same car as Chang An."
"oh."
She responded lazily, feeling a bit bored. She wanted to play on her phone for a while, but then realized that her bag was with Chu You.
Shen Jingni leaned out the window to look at the mountains outside. The mountain peaks were covered with snow, but only a tiny bit. There wasn't even a trace of snow at the foot of the mountains.
No snow, no icicles among the pines, it's no fun.
Zhao Zonglan appeared to be looking at emails.
It's entirely in English.
She glanced at it vaguely, recognizing a familiar word, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Canada?"
“Yes, it’s a project in Vancouver.” Zhao Zonglan looked up from the screen and then moved the phone closer to her. “Interested?”
Shen Jingni quickly waved her hands, her whole body refusing: "No, no."
He probably doesn't think she was peeking on purpose, does he?
She had no interest in prying into the capitalists' business secrets.
If something goes wrong, Zhao Zonglan will probably kill her.
That's how it's portrayed in TV dramas.
Zhao Zonglan stared at her, his handsome face expressionless.
The young girl wore light makeup today, which perfectly highlighted her naturally fair and delicate skin. Her lips were full, and the color of her lipstick was like cherry blossoms, making them look tender and luscious. Her eyes were sparkling, and she was both innocent and charming.
Even that moment of panic was unexpectedly alluring.
He casually tossed his phone onto the seat beside him, then used his well-defined fingers to pinch her chin and lift it up.
The next moment, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Zhao Zonglan's kisses were always fierce and sensual.
Or rather, passionate.
He was clearly an extremely indifferent person.
Shen Jingni's red lips parted slightly as he pulled her into his arms for a kiss, leaving her no way out.
But Zhao Zonglan didn't like performing solo acts.
A one-man show is boring.
He stepped back slightly, his lips pressed against hers, his voice low and husky: "Respond to me."
It carries the unquestionable dominance of someone in a superior position.
Shen Jingni couldn't see his expression, but she felt that his chin was being pinched very hard, as if if she refused, her jawbone would be crushed in the next second.
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly as she leaned in to return his kiss.
They were cautious, their movements clumsy and awkward.
That's enough.
Zhao Zonglan had plenty of patience to teach her.
He kissed her even more fiercely than before, forcing his lips open and teasing her mischievously.
His long, slender hand moved to the back of her neck, while his other hand pressed against her slender waist, completely locking her in his arms.
Shen Jingni let out a soft moan, her voice delicate and gentle, very light, yet captivating.
Zhao Zonglan was even less likely to let her go easily.
He would only occasionally kiss her neck, mercifully letting her catch her breath, and then press himself against her again.
It must be admitted that the experience of being intimate and kissing a man like Zhao Zonglan is extremely good.
He smells so good.
Therefore, Shen Jingni hardly resisted.
Men and women engage in sexual intercourse, each getting what they need.
So what if they're capitalists? They'll play their part when it's time to play.
For fairies, being happy is the most important thing.
The Rolls-Royce drove smoothly and steadily.
Shen Jingni was severely oxygen-deprived and dizzy from Zhao Zonglan's kisses; her legs went weak.
Her lipstick was already smudged, and her lips were slightly swollen. In the end, she couldn't stand it anymore and had to resort to pleading.
"Zhao Zonglan, stop bullying me." She tugged at his tie haphazardly, pleading softly, "I'm so tired."
"Useless little thing." Zhao Zonglan bit her neck in dissatisfaction.
It probably left a mark again.
But Shen Jingni could only obediently accept it at this moment, fortunately he did not make any other moves.
She hugged his waist, found a comfortable position to lean against him, and closed her eyes.
"I'm going to sleep for a while. Wake me up when we get there."
Zhao Zonglan remained silent.
He glanced at her flushed face and slightly swollen lips, then lowered his gaze, concealing the darkness within.
-
When Shen Jingni woke up again, she found herself in an unfamiliar room.
The interior furnishings were somewhat similar to those in the bedroom of the Zijing Tanyuan Garden, arranged according to Zhao Zonglan's preferences, and a faint fragrance wafted through the air.
It was already dark outside.
When a person sleeps for a long time, their brain will be a little slower when they wake up.
Shen Jingni sat on the bed and looked around, but did not see Zhao Zonglan.
Chu You brought a cup of hot water, knocked on the door, and came in. She saw Shen Jingni sitting on the bed in a daze.
"Boss, you're awake. Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"
Hearing Chu You's voice, Shen Jingni suddenly came to her senses. "How long have I been asleep? Where is Zhao Zonglan?"
Chu You glanced at her watch and roughly estimated, "It's been more than two hours since Mr. Zhao carried you out of the car."
As for how long she slept in the car, she didn't know.
"It seems that Mr. Zhao went to Nuanyu Pavilion in the west."
etc.
Did Zhao Zonglan carry her out of the car?
"Why didn't you wake me up?" Shen Jingni suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
They were guests at Song Yanting's villa; her behavior was extremely rude.
Chu You protested her innocence: "Boss, I called you when I got out of the car, but you didn't wake up and were still holding onto Mr. Zhao."
Oh, this.
"Then why didn't you shout it a couple more times?"
Chu You shook her head and said she wouldn't dare, "You don't know, the way Mr. Zhao looked at me was like he wanted to skin me alive."
Shen Jingni lay face down on her pillow, on the verge of tears.
Someone of Zhao Zonglan's status would definitely be picked up when he travels.
She could even imagine Zhao Zonglan carrying her as she slept, walking past a group of scions of prominent families.
That's more than just a little embarrassing.
That's incredibly embarrassing.
Zhao Zonglan was the culprit.
He must have done it on purpose.
She wanted to settle accounts with him.
Shen Jingni got angry and went straight out the door after putting on her clothes and shoes.
This hot spring resort is very large, with antique-style palace lanterns hanging on both sides of the bluestone path to guide the way.
Occasionally, you can see a few servants hurrying by on the road; they all come from the west.
It was clearly an invitation to distinguished guests.
Shen Jingni passed through a moon gate and unknowingly arrived at the central courtyard.
There was a huge Christmas tree in the yard, about the height of three or four people, already decorated with colorful lights and ornaments, with gift boxes tied with ribbons placed below.
very beautiful.
Shen Jingni took out her phone and took a few photos.
After enjoying the view, I suddenly didn't want to leave.
I was angry just now and wasn't calm enough.
Now that she thought about it carefully, she realized that it wasn't a good idea for her to go to Nuanyu Pavilion so rashly.
Zhao Zonglan's friends are all important figures, so her behavior was very impolite and could easily make her look down on.
Even if they were to go, Zhao Zonglan would have to come and pick them up personally.
Shen Jingni pursed her lips and dialed Zhao Zonglan's private number.
