He calmly hung up the phone, apologized, and continued the meeting without changing his expression.
Gong Ning dialed Yan Jingzhou's personal number. She had previously recorded her own voice and set it as a special ringtone, originally as a prank, but somehow forgot about it. Now, without her knowledge, it unexpectedly succeeded.
Meanwhile, Miss Gong wasn't annoyed at being hung up on. She switched to the previous chat interface and proudly announced, "Yan Jingzhou, since you hung up on me without my permission and interrupted my loving phone call, I'm angry. So, we're even!"
She paused, then typed another message: "You can't be angry anymore, or you'll be petty... Aunt Rong made something delicious today, why don't you come back earlier?"
The tone was arrogant, but the expectation and hope within it could not be hidden. This subtle probing made Yan Jingzhou, who had just finished the meeting and saw the message, unable to help but smile, and a soft smile unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
When Yan Jingzhou returned, it was already night. Gong Ning had put on makeup and was playing games on the living room sofa. Aunt Rong was beside her, watching a sad drama with tears in her eyes.
Because of the many unexpected incidents that had occurred before, Yan Jingzhou gave instructions after Gong Ning returned this time: someone must stay at the villa when he is not around, and the Bai brothers around Xingzhan Garden must not be relaxed in the slightest.
Upon hearing the sound of a car engine outside, Gong Ning immediately dropped her hand and ran upstairs in a flash. "Aunt Rong, remember to cover for me!"
Startled by the sound, Aunt Rong snapped out of her grief. Just as she stood up, she saw Yan Jingzhou and Ji Chenbai walk in. She quickly wiped away her tears and said, "Sir, you're back!"
"Hmm!" the man said calmly.
Aunt Rong took the suit jacket from Yan Jingyan's hand. Seeing that he was about to go upstairs, she quickly stepped forward, "Sir!"
Yan Jingzhou stopped and looked at her with a puzzled expression. He didn't say anything, but Aunt Rong inexplicably felt an invisible pressure hanging over her head. Her words were unconsciously tinged with nervousness, "Sir, would you like to have some late-night snacks first?"
"No need, I'm not hungry!" He said, and made to leave. Ji Chen and Bai Yi followed silently behind him.
Aunt Rong, in her anxiety, quickly stopped him, "Sir, sir, why don't you wait a moment before going upstairs? Miss, Miss..."
Aunt Rong had been watching some tragic dramas and her emotions were quite agitated, so much so that her tone of voice unconsciously carried a hint of sorrow when she spoke.
Coupled with her hesitant words, people assumed that something had happened to Gong Ning again.
Yan Jingzhou's dark eyes narrowed, and he immediately turned around and strode upstairs, his steps unconsciously carrying a sense of urgency.
"Oh, sir..." Aunt Rong secretly cursed herself for being so weak, and quickly pinched her thigh, trying to salvage the situation by calling out to the sir again. But when she looked up and saw Gong Ning on the stairs, she suddenly fell silent, quickly covered her eyes, and walked away with a beaming smile.
The young couple's relationship is getting better and better.
Gong Ning, dressed in a wine-red long dress, leaned lazily against the stair railing. Her upturned eyes, with their movement, exuded a touch of charm, and at this moment, those watery eyes were fixed on him, captivatingly alluring.
The dim yellow light from the stairwell wall lamp shone on her fair, jade-like arms, as if coated with a thin glaze, creating an inexplicably ambiguous atmosphere. Her slender, pale legs were faintly visible through the red hem of her skirt...
