"Then you can just live your life with your sister. Why are you holding on to me?"
Zhou Chenyan frowned and stared at me, as if he didn't recognize me.
"You can say that. I said it, that's my sister."
I smiled coldly, "Zhou Chenyan, tell me honestly, do you really treat her as your sister?"
He was silent.
This is what I expected.
Of course he couldn't say it out loud, because the thoughts hidden in his heart were simply shameful to others.
"This project is indeed a birthday gift for Zhou Zhizi, but don't you think about yourself?"
What did I hear?
"You want me, a victim, to reflect on this?"
Zhou Chenyan leaned over slightly, supporting his hands on both sides of me, forming an invisible enclosure, and his breath became stronger.
"There are many ways to make amends, and it doesn't necessarily have to take things from you."
I understood, and my heart felt even colder. "So you did this for another reason."
He raised his hand and hooked my hair, wrapped it around his fingertips a few times, and gently pulled my scalp.
It doesn't hurt, just makes my back numb.
The feeling of being stared at by a sinister creature is creepy.
"If you were good enough, I wouldn't do this." He said quietly, "But it's you who always ignores my words."
In a flash, I understood everything.
"Because of that phone call, because of Han Qi, you treat me like this."
He lowered his head and touched my forehead.
A very light kiss, as light as a feather.
I was stiff all over.
He looked delighted. "How clever! If you had thought of this earlier, wouldn't this farce have happened?"
My lips and teeth are cold.
He didn't dwell on it that day, so I thought he didn't care anymore.
Turns out he was just pretending.
He used disguise to numb me, and I had no idea that he actually cared about me. In fact, he had already remembered it when he saw me making a phone call that day.
The subsequent series of events were all revenge.
"Don't look at me like that."
His palms blocked my eyes and everything in front of me became dark.
His voice was exceptionally clear.
"This time I'm teaching you a little lesson, so you know you have to listen to me in the future. But don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."
I said hoarsely, "Want to compensate me?"
"What do you want?" he asked in a good mood.
I pursed my lips. The angrier I was, the calmer my expression became. "I don't want anything. If I have to say, I just want you to stay away from me."
"I'm afraid that won't work."
He smiled slightly, showing a rare good temper.
"Change it."
"Then give me the money."
Zhou Chenyan frowned slightly, not very satisfied with the answer. "Such a good opportunity, and you only ask me for money?"
"right."
Nothing is more important than money, and money is the only thing that will not betray me.
Zhou Chenyan was still unhappy, "You can take this opportunity to ask me for more. Are you sure you don't want it?"
Want more?
I vaguely understood what he meant, and found it even more incredible. "Are you still Zhou Chenyan?"
His face darkened.
"Nonsense, of course I am."
"...Looks like it's been possessed."
I muttered,
My impression of Zhou Chenyan was that, except for the first few months when we knew each other, he was gentle, considerate, gentlemanly and polite, but later he turned into a cold, domineering and brutal monster.
Now I am asking for it.
These are the words he actually said.
“But I don’t need that. Either give me a project or give me money.”
Fair trade, payment in full.
I think this is the best situation for both of us.
But Zhou Chenyan didn't seem to think so, and was very dissatisfied with my request. "Are you obsessed with money now?"
He poked my head with a look of disappointment.
To be honest, such an intimate action between us made me doubt whether I was still asleep.
Was all this a dream?
I raised my hand and pinched him.
Zhou Chenyan hissed, "What are you doing?"
"Does it hurt?"
"Nonsense, let me pinch you and try it."
"It seems that I am not dreaming." I came to a conclusion, and the previous anger had long disappeared. After all, it was not surprising that Zhou Chenyan would do this.
I just want to fight for my own interests now.
"Since you asked me to, I only want money and projects. Please give me one of them."
"Nothing else?"
"No."
Zhou Chenyan's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You are just a money-grubber now!"
"Thanks for the compliment."
Zhou Chenyan stood up, his expression arrogant and indifferent, "Since you want it, I will arrange it for you. I just hope you won't regret it later."
"rest assured."
As long as the money is in place, I can even forget how to write these two words.
"Also, from now on, you'll work beside me and don't go back to the design department." Zhou Chenyan took out his phone and tapped on it a few times. "And don't go see Han Qi again. There's no need for you two to meet anymore."
I don’t understand why he cares so much about Han Qi?
"Do you have a grudge?"
"No." Zhou Chenyan said calmly, "I just simply don't like him."
"If you don't like him, that's your business. Han Qi and I are colleagues, and he is also my friend."
I originally thought it was better to have less trouble than more, so I interacted with Han Qi secretly, for fear that he would get sick again if he knew.
But now I don't care anymore.
