Gong Ning nestled quietly in Yan Jingzhou's arms like a quail, remaining silent.
A gentle smile flickered in the man's eyes as he gently stroked the fluffy little head in his arms.
My heart is incredibly soft; no matter how she changes, the little girl is still a coward with very little courage.
Even the smallest things could frighten her so much that her face would turn pale and timid, making one's heart ache with pity.
Thinking of this, Yan Jingzhou pursed his thin lips, reached out and placed his hand on the back of Gong Ning's neck, giving her a tender kiss on the forehead, and whispered, "Next time you want to come to my room, just come in. Don't stand outside the door freezing. This is your home. You can do whatever you want here, okay?"
"Mmm!" Gong Ning responded cheerfully, her small arms tightening around the man's waist with a touch of intimacy and dependence.
"Go to sleep!"
"Um!"
The next morning, while Xingzhan Garden was still asleep, Gong Ning was awakened by a series of ringing cell phones. Annoyed, she wanted to smash the bed, but when she saw that there was no one beside her, she reached out and touched the sheets, which were already cold. Her mood worsened.
"Xiao Ning, come to the company!"
The voice on the phone sounded tired, causing Gong Ning to subconsciously squint her eyes.
I almost forgot about the mess Zhou Huaman left behind!
"Um!"
I hung up the phone.
She glanced at the empty room, her lips trembled slightly in a hint of grievance, and her eyes dimmed for a moment.
However, remembering that she was in Xingzhan Garden, a bright smile appeared on her lips as she got out of bed to wash up.
Gong Ning changed into a neat and tidy outfit and drove straight to Beiyin International.
Throughout the journey, his face was cold and indifferent, his dark eyes filled with a chilling icy edge, mixed with a heart-pounding sneer.
The entrance was deserted; there wasn't even a security guard.
Especially after seeing the dilapidated and empty Beiyin International.
The smile on his lips grew increasingly cold and meaningful.
The receptionist was sitting lazily in a chair, enjoying a cup of herbal tea.
Gong Ning walked forward and saw that the receptionist was watching a drama on the computer she was using for official business.
With narrowed eyes, a fair hand slowly rested on the white marble worktable. "I had no idea that the receptionist job at Beiyin International had become so leisurely and lazy, that you actually have time to watch TV dramas during work hours?"
"What's the big deal? Everyone's like this these days. In a few days, Beiyin International will be taken over by the Zhou family. Besides, Miss Zhou is a good friend of mine. She hasn't said anything yet, so why are you in such a hurry?" The receptionist answered subconsciously, but suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She quickly looked up, saw who it was, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was terrified; she thought he was the future CEO Zhou!
Upon seeing that Gong Ning was a stranger, the receptionist's tense expression vanished, replaced by a confident arrogance. She snorted smugly at Gong Ning with her nostrils flared.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? Don't you know that Beiyin International is currently undergoing internal restructuring and is not open for business? Get out of here, I'm busy and don't have time to entertain you!"
The receptionist rolled her eyes dismissively, a hint of contempt rising in her heart. Dressed like this, she thought she could come to Beiyin International? Did she think this was a marketplace?
Seeing Gong Ning staring at her coldly without moving her feet, the receptionist felt a surge of annoyance at being ignored. "Don't you understand? Get out of here! With your poor and wretched appearance, aren't you afraid of dirtying my Beiyin International's premises!"
Gong Ning glanced down at her custom-made suit, which had no brand logos on it, and silently pondered for a moment.
Yan Jingzhou's taste is so refined that even she couldn't help but admire it, yet she called it poor and shabby.
Should she say that the receptionist was born blind, or that something blinded her later in life?
She chuckled softly, "Indeed, quite a few people are occupying Beiyin International's territory, making the surrounding air unbearably polluted! Look at you, aren't you one of them?"
"You..." The receptionist was furious. She glared at her, dialed a number, and made a series of exaggerated calls, her voice harsh as she called for security to grab her and throw her out.
The next second, it was pulled out from behind the counter like a radish.
He knelt before Gong Ning, prostrating himself as if in worship.
The security guards who rushed over were dumbfounded.
He was stunned for a long time.
What did they see? Were they seeing things?
The new receptionist, Xiao Wei, can actually fly?
He suddenly flew out from behind the counter and knelt down before a pretty young girl?
This young Wei has been arrogant and domineering for a long time. Relying on the fact that he has a soon-to-be-appointed General Manager Zhou behind him, many long-time employees of Beiyin International have left in anger because they could not bear the humiliation.
Now you're actually kneeling down obediently?
Perhaps they entered the door the wrong way?
For a moment, the burly men were caught up in their own internal monologues, and ended up standing there like spectators.
Xiao Wei lay prone on the ground, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, waves of fear washing over him.
She felt a gust of wind blow past her, and the next second she flew out like a kite with a broken string, as if an invisible hand had pulled her out.
Even though the girl in front of her still had that same mocking, smiling look, Xiao Wei felt a soul-crushing fear that made her instinctively want to submit.
There was even a voice, almost like an intuition, telling her that the invisible hand belonged to the girl in front of her!
He tried to struggle to get up, but his whole body felt like it had been stripped of its tendons and broken of its bones; he had no strength at all and could not move.
It was as if she had fallen into a deep sea filled with panic, about to suffocate her extremely small life.
Xiao Wei's breathing quickened unconsciously, and his face flushed.
Ah Lin stood to the side, gesturing wildly and looking at Xiao Wei's good-for-nothing appearance with disdain.
She gave a smug snort.
You deserved to look down on my prince.
Is His Highness's oppressive aura something that you mere mortals can withstand?
Your Highness's palm strike is quite extraordinary.
If you touch it, it will be terrible.
Tsk tsk.
Gong Ning stood there for a moment, staring intently at Xiao Wei, who was trembling like a sieve. Her eyes flickered slightly, and a cold, strange glint appeared in them. The curve of her lips revealed a few eerie details.
Xiao Wei trembled violently, his jaw chattered uncontrollably, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Gong Ning was taken aback, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes.
Still somewhat doubtful, he took a few steps forward, wanting to check on Xiao Wei's condition more closely.
"Ah Lin, why did she faint? Could she be faking it?"
As she thought this to Ah Lin, Gong Ning suddenly stopped in her tracks, looking at Xiao Wei with suspicion.
A-Lin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, clutching his stomach and rolling around on the spot. "Your Highness, do you still think this is the Great You Dynasty? She's just an ordinary human. How can she compare to those assassins who used to hunt you down in the Great You?"
"Then why did she faint? I didn't do anything! I just lifted her out of the water, I didn't use any force!"
A-Lin was stunned. "Your Highness, you didn't use any force?"
