The next afternoon, Gao Ziyin was still at work when the phone rang. It was Cheng Yan.
Cheng Yan said that he had booked a meal for two at the Peninsula Hotel, and specifically ordered roast duck with matsutake mushrooms. He knew that Gao Ziyin had not eaten the roast duck last night, so she must have been craving it.
"How do you know I didn't eat it?" Gao Zinyin was surprised.
She did not eat the roast duck yesterday because she had trouble sleeping at night after eating it, so she put it away.
"I didn't know before, but now I know." Cheng Yan said.
"But cousin, I'm very busy every day and have a lot of work to do." Gao Zi hummed.
"Then come after you're done. I'll be waiting at 10 o'clock. I'm going to France soon, so please accompany me for dinner." Cheng Yan said again.
Gao Ziyin thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do it."
It was six o'clock in the afternoon when Gao Ziyin took a taxi to the Peninsula Hotel.
Cheng Yan was a particular person, and he ordered the portion that Gao Ziyin could finish. While Gao Ziyin was eating, he would take the small pancakes and roll them up for her one by one, roll them with cucumbers, and spread sweet bean sauce on them.
The roast duck with matsutake mushrooms does not come with a small pancake, so Cheng Yan specifically asked for a small pancake and a portion of sweet noodle sauce for Gao Ziyin.
Seeing Gao Ziyin eating in small bites at first and then wolfing down the food, Cheng Yan smiled and said, "No one is taking it away from you."
Gao Ziyin just looked up and said, "Thank you, cousin."
"I thought you were Ye Gong Tulong at first, you know?" Cheng Yan said again.
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"You say you like dragons all day long, but when a dragon really comes, you get scared." Cheng Yan said with a smile.
Cheng Yan is a very gentlemanly person, and his words make people feel like spring breeze.
Gao Zinyin didn't understand whether she had turned her fake play into reality. If so, she would be in trouble.
In the past, she always seduced Cheng Yan, but Cheng Yan would just turn around and press her under him, leaving her with no power to fight back.
Gao Ziyin didn't say anything and just kept eating roast duck.
"There seems to be an event in the square tonight. After dinner, shall we go for a walk?" Cheng Yan asked again. "It's still three or four months before you go to France. But three or four months is a long time. When you go to France, I will buy a villa in Paris or Provence and bring Ruilin over—"
Gao Ziyin ate slower and slower. She had always been very passive in this matter with Cheng Yan. When Cheng Yan said this, Gao Ziyin didn't say anything. She felt a little unwilling in her heart. But when she heard Cheng Yan's idea, it was also very good. Both of them were French. Although Feng Jin disagreed, as long as she agreed, it would be fine.
Gao Ziyin's heart seemed to have finally settled after five years of wandering.
After all, she was not destined to be with that person, and she had no intention of doing anything with him.
After dinner, the two of them walked around the square, where advertisements were scrolling on the big screen.
Cheng Yan held Gao Ziyin's hand, and the two of them walked slowly.
After arriving at a garden next to the square, Cheng Yan felt tired and sat on a chair by the roadside.
Gao Ziyin stood there, watching the people setting off fireworks in the middle of the square for a long time, and then watched the advertisements on the big screen for a while.
"What day is it? Why is it so lively?" Gao Zinyin asked.
"You've lived in China since you were a child, so how could you be worse than me? September 9th is the Double Ninth Festival." Cheng Yan said.
Then, he pulled Gao Zinyin's hand, and Gao Zinyin sat in Cheng Yan's arms.
Cheng Yan put his arms around Gao Zinyin's waist and kissed her gently.
They kissed just yesterday, and they kissed again the next day. Gao Zinyin was no longer as shy as she was yesterday.
Maybe she had never been in a relationship, and that person never treated her as a girlfriend.
She heard Cheng Yan's even breathing, which was different from the man's heavy breathing.
I don’t know where the camera came from, but the image of Gao Zinyin and Cheng Yan hugging and kissing suddenly appeared on the big screen.
Gao Ziyin didn't see it, nor did she know about it. She was still immersed in the kiss between her and Cheng Yan.
The big screen would shine on them, but Cheng Yan had known it for a long time, because their position allowed the camera to shine at its maximum angle, and the camera would most likely stay on them for a while. Gao Zinyin was facing him sideways, so she didn't see it. However, Cheng Yan occasionally raised his eyes and saw it.
He then narrowed his eyes slightly and kissed Gao Ziyin more deeply.
Since you love me, let the whole world know. Cheng Yan is not afraid.
He also knew that Jiang Yancheng had a social event across the street that evening, and their room was facing the big screen.
Ever since Ziyin came to China, she has been involved with a man named Jiang Yancheng all the time.
This made Cheng Yan very unhappy. Saying that her child was his had already challenged Cheng Yan's limit. He was even more unhappy about the fact that he was still in contact with Gao Ziyin. Cheng Yan believed that since the two had a relationship or entanglement five years ago, and the final result was that Gao Ziyin went far away, then there must be something wrong with this man. Gao Ziyin had been in France for five years, and he had never heard that Jiang Yancheng had ever seen Ziyin.
From Cheng Yan's eyes, the two of them had already broken off.
If they were in China, and the news about the two of them was everywhere, Cheng Yan would naturally want to stop it.
He was a businessman, so it was very easy for him to find out what activities Jiang Yancheng had planned that night.
Including the fact that Tian invited Gao Zinyin to eat roast duck, he deliberately let Jiang Yancheng know about it.
He knew that it was time to completely cut off any ties between the two of them.
Jiang Yancheng was indeed there to socialize that night.
No one brought a woman with them, but one of them was the wife of a businessman - An Ning.
Jiang Yancheng didn't show anything special.
An Ning married a wealthy man and was not affected by her previous relationship with Jiang Yancheng.
Jiang Yancheng thought that women like An Ning were born with the ability to seduce men, and it would not be difficult for her to marry a poor man just because she had been with Jiang Yancheng before.
He wondered: What about her? Will she be affected by him in the future? What kind of person would she marry?
At the dinner table, An Ning kept looking at Jiang Yancheng with an unwilling look, but Jiang Yancheng pretended not to see her.
He doesn't take it seriously at all.
"Mr. Jiang, I heard that your young assistant is here. She has transformed herself into the financial director. But you're right, she had this potential back then." An Ning said sourly. After three years of marriage and a one-year-old child, she was still unwilling to give up on Jiang Yancheng.
Jiang Yancheng just smiled.
An Ning just glanced outside and saw a clear portrait on the big screen outside the window. Because it was a photo of Gao Zinyin from the front, she knew it was Gao Zinyin at a glance.
An Ning laughed even harder, "Boss Jiang, your assistant is deliberately trying to make things difficult for you! Look at this."
Jiang Yancheng's eyes were fixed on the big screen, but he was not interested in this kind of thing, so he had not paid attention to it just now.
Now he saw Gao Zinyin sitting on Cheng Yan's lap, hugging Cheng Yan's neck with both hands, and kissing Cheng Yan passionately.
Jiang Yancheng took the towel and wiped his hands, but his eyes fell on the two people on the big screen. He was steady and fierce, a little more ruthless than usual. "So, what do you want me to see? She's just a slut. Do I need your attention?"
An Ning started to giggle. She was very happy with Jiang Yancheng's attitude towards Gao Zinyin.
Jiang Yancheng's appearance did not change at all, and others thought that this was a woman Jiang Yancheng once knew, and she was in love with someone else again.
After Cheng Yan and Gao Ziyin finished kissing, Gao Ziyin was a little out of breath. She leaned her head against Cheng Yan's arms and said, "Cousin."
"Don't call me cousin anymore, call me Cheng Yan." Cheng Yan said, "I'm not your cousin either. It would be considered incest."
Gao Ziyin thought about it, and when he thought of the word "cheng", he felt extremely unwilling, and his heart was still sour and uncomfortable, so he said, "Cousin is so dear, I like your cousin. If you don't like me to kiss your cousin anymore, I will kiss your brother? What do you think?"
Cheng Yan laughed out loud, "It's up to you then."
Cheng Yan and Gao Ziyin kept walking until they arrived in front of Rays' apartment building. Rays' office building and apartment building were just across the street from each other, very, very close.
Gao Ziyin went upstairs and Cheng Yan was reluctant to leave.
Gao Ziyin had thought many times that true love should be like this, but what else was she thinking?
After returning home, Gao Zinyin took a bath. While taking a bath, she thought of what happened the previous night, and also of Jiang Yancheng's suffocating kiss and his domineering attitude in bed that didn't give her a chance to breathe.
Gao Zinyin blushed as he thought about it.
After so many years, she still missed him, but no matter what, she had to start a new life.
She is not his type, and he is not her ideal partner.
After soaking in the bathtub for a long time, the windows in the living room were open. It was hot in the summer, so the windows in the bathroom were also open, and the wind blew in, making Gao Zinyin's mind clearer.
After finishing his social engagements, Jiang Yancheng drove home. His car drove steadily on the road, and the light from the dial faintly shone on Jiang Yancheng's face. The lines on his face were perfect, tight, and unkind, making people feel unapproachable.
After driving for a long time, he finally took the lead and drove towards the company, parked the car downstairs of Rays' office building, and drove to the door of Gao Ziyin's apartment.
Gao Zinyin was taking a comfortable bath when the doorbell rang. She thought it was an illusion.
She was talking from the bathroom and no one could hear her clearly, so Gao Ziyin simply wiped herself casually, put on a silk nightgown, and a coat over the silk nightgown, and went out. She didn't even wear underwear because her underwear was in her bedroom. She planned to change wrapped in a bath towel. She thought it might be Eva or another neighbor, and she would be gone soon.
They are all women, so it’s no big deal.
She opened the door and was surprised to see Jiang Yancheng standing at the door.
She thought she and Jiang Yancheng had no relationship at all.
"You come--" Gao Zinyin said in surprise.
As soon as the door was opened, the window in the living room was open, which created a convection wind. The wind blew through Gao Ziyin's wet long hair. She had just finished a shower, and a scent of garden came over her.
"Who?" Jiang Yancheng asked.
"It's inconvenient for you to come in." Gao Ziyin said, "What's the matter with you?"
Gao Ziyin stood at the door, which was half open, and seemed to have something to hide.
After all, going into battle empty-handed will naturally make you feel guilty.
