Chapter 188 Nanzi's Logic
"Hmm~"
The person lying on the bed let out a soft hum like a kitten, slowly waking up, lifting their long eyelashes, and looking around with clear eyes.
Hearing the noise, Nanzi carefully leaned against the bedside and moved closer.
"Is anything bothering you?"
Zhou Ran sat up in bed and looked at Nan Zi, who had a completely natural expression. If he didn't know clearly that it was Nan Zi who had kidnapped him, he would have thought that Nan Zi was an innocent victim.
"Your acting is very good; you could become a star."
Upon hearing Zhou Ran's first words, Nan Zi's smile vanished.
It was tinged with sadness, yet also with a sense of resignation and despair.
"You found out? When did you find out?"
"Earlier than you think."
The smile faded from Zhou Ran's face, replaced by indifference, making her look completely different from Nan Zi.
Seeing Zhou Ran like this, Nan Zi felt somewhat stimulated.
Nan Zi was somewhat more accepting of the fact that Zhou Ran knew she was the one who carried out the kidnapping.
"Smile! Why aren't you smiling? I love your smile the most, you look awful right now!"
Nanzi pounced on Zhou Ran almost frantically, wanting to see a smile on her face again.
Why is it that the same person, with the same face, can look like they have a different soul just by changing their expression?
How did the cheerful, sunny boy she liked become like her, like a rat that crawled out of a gutter?
It chills the heart and sends shivers down one's spine!
Zhou Ran rolled away from Nan Zi, and when Nan Zi pounced on her again, she grabbed a lamp from the side and hit Nan Zi on the head.
Under Nanzi's incredulous gaze, he laughed in a chilling way.
Nanzi rolled her eyes and collapsed onto the bed.
Zhou Ran got out of bed, unbuttoned her collar, revealing her slender neck.
"Those bastards are ruthless! How much poison did they use on me? They're afraid I won't die!"
Zhou Ran realized Nan Zi's plan and deliberately drank the beverage that had been spiked.
He wanted to see just how crazy Nanzi could go and what she was going to do.
Opening the curtains reveals an ordinary room in the residential complex, with the lights of countless homes visible outside.
He walked around the house; there were signs of life, but it seemed to be rarely used, as some places were covered in dust and hadn't been cleaned.
Zhou Ran found Nan Zi's phone, unlocked it with her fingerprint, opened the map and location services, and confirmed her location.
She quickly sent her location information to Qiu Jing, then searched through her phone to confirm some details before putting it back in Nan Zi's pocket.
Zhou Ran sat on the sofa in the bedroom, casually picking up a book from the side to pass the time.
Fu Qingcheng pressed Su Nianyao against the doorway, their bodies entwined, their distance between them almost touching.
Fu Qingcheng could no longer restrain himself, kissing those longed-for lips. Their breaths mingled, and they frantically demanded each other, as if trying to etch the other into their very bones.
"Um... what is this?"
Zhou Ran frowned and turned to look at the cover, which read "Les Misérables".
"This is still a shell book; this kind of plot is mostly found in CEO romance novels,"
Zhou Ran turned to the second page and, sure enough, saw a very cheesy name.
[Overbearing CEO's Forced Love: Little Wife, Where Are You Going?!]
"Tsk tsk, are book titles this straightforward now? This domineering CEO forced love story isn't exciting enough, it's not as interesting as Zhou Chao's life."
Thinking of the Zhou Dynasty's outrageous tactics: love at first sight, substitute literature, poverty alleviation, contracts, imprisonment, you run away while she chases, she can't escape even if she has wings.
Every single plot point is more exciting than the forced love story in this book.
After comparing it, Zhou Ran felt that this book was lacking.
"Literature and art originate from life!"
Zhou Ran casually tossed the CEO romance novel back into its original place. Thinking of Zhou Chao, she couldn't help but wonder if he had received her gift and whether he liked it.
Rewind half a day, to almost noon,
Zhou Ran's gift was finally delivered to Zhou Chao's office.
Wenzhou carried a box and went straight to the office.
"President, there's a package for you."
"Hmm, you're finally here. Let's see what the gift is. Bring it over!"
Zhou Chao put down his pen, eagerly took the box, and unwrapped the exquisite outer packaging. Inside was a luxury box.
Zhou Chao looked on expectantly, wondering what Zhou Ran had bought for him. He'd heard that Zhou Ran liked dolls and the like, but it couldn't be those kinds of things, could it?
He remembered that the logo seemed to belong to a famous foreign toy store.
Playing with toys at his age is a bit unbecoming of him, but since they are gifts from Zhou Ran, he will cherish them.
Thinking of gifts, Zhou Chao thought of the first gift Zhou Ran had given him—his battered and bruised father!
Zhou Ran's gifts are always so unexpected; compared to that, even toys seem acceptable.
Wen Zhou craned his neck to look at the box, curious about what kind of gift the president was giving that made him value it so much.
Zhou Chao lifted the lid of the box, and surrounded by raffia, a green hat appeared before him.
"Forehead……"
Zhou Chao gritted his teeth.
"puff……"
Wen Zhou couldn't help but laugh, but seeing Zhou Chao's dark face, he silently covered his mouth and turned his unrestrained laughter into a vibrating version.
I mentally gave a thumbs up to this president's wife, whom I'd never met before. What kind of amazing person was she to have given the president a cuckold's horns?
Zhou Chao, his face dark, took out the green hat and, as if possessed, put it on his head. Surprisingly, it fit perfectly.
It would be better if it weren't green.
Wenzhou squatted down and covered his mouth tightly, determined not to laugh, or his afternoon vacation would be ruined.
Zhou Chao put the hat aside, annoyed, and noticed a small box inside.
He took the box out, thinking it was some kind of prank again.
When opened, there is a pair of emerald cuffs, the entire cuffs a translucent green, surrounded by a ring of gemstones, exquisite and beautiful.
Zhou Chao's expression brightened, and a smile appeared on his face. This was more like a gift. He took out his sleeve, put away the pair he was wearing, and replaced them with the ones Zhou Ran had given him.
I must say, Zhou Ran has good taste; these cuffs really match his clothes.
Considering how thoughtfully Zhou Ran picked out the gift for him, he forgave her for giving him a green hat and mocking him.
Zhou Chao didn't need Zhou Ran to do anything; he had already calmed himself down and was even thinking about what gift to give his younger brother in return.
Completely unaware that the cufflinks inside were inserted by Xia Chenggan, who was worried that Zhou Chao would be so angry upon receiving the gift that he wanted to attract Zhou Ran's attention.
At the very bottom was a letter. Zhou Chao opened the envelope and found it was written by Zhou Ran, in bold, unrestrained handwriting, just like his personality.
[Make money for me, work is your only lifeline!]
"Heh, just as I expected, that's what he would say."
Wen Zhou secretly glanced at Zhou Chao, who was staring at the card and laughing happily, and thought to himself, "Oh no, oh no, my CEO has gone crazy after his breakup."
"Should the CEO call a doctor?"
"I'm fine. Aren't you off this afternoon? You should go home!"
"Okay!"
Wenzhou didn't even pack his things before he took off running. Just like yesterday, if he had been a step too slow, he would have run into a huge drama.
The melon was delicious, but it was also dangerous! He needed to calm his heart before eating it.
Zhou Chao sent Zhou Ran a message: "I really like your gift. I'll work hard to earn money, don't worry!"
After waiting for a while, Zhou Ran did not reply, so Zhou Chao assumed he was busy and continued working.
Zhou Ran had just finished eating with Nan Zi and drank the beverage Nan Zi handed her when she was drugged and taken away.
Zhou Ran waited for a while, until Qiu Jing came to knock on the door, but Nan Zi still hadn't woken up.
Zhou Ran opened the door and let the person in. Just then, someone opened the door across the hall. The two looked at each other, but Zhou Ran didn't pay any attention and went back inside.
Wenzhou, who heard the commotion across the hall, saw the face, his eyes widened in surprise, he quickly closed the door, and then secretly called Zhou Chao.
"President, has our young master Zhou offended someone? Or is there some other arrangement?"
Wen Zhou, as the secretary, had met Zhou Ran twice and knew her identity; the president called her Young Master Zhou.
This person is the only bloodline of the Zhou family and their actual controlling shareholder behind the scenes.
As an employee, you can be unfamiliar with your colleagues, but you absolutely cannot be unfamiliar with your boss.
"Hmm? What's wrong? Where did you see him?"
Zhou Chao thought back to the day he met Zhou Ran. It seemed that his younger brother had been playing a game of hiding his identity to fish for information lately.
What a coincidence that Wenzhou ran into him.
"Don't reveal his identity, but help him if he's in danger."
"Don't worry, President. I didn't run into him outside. He was right in front of my house. He opened the door across from mine and let a group of people in."
"What did those people look like?"
"There were men and women, and they looked like they were trained martial artists. They were wearing uniform work clothes and had epaulets with flames embroidered on their shoulders."
"Oh, it's alright. Those are people from Young Master Zhou's security company. Just don't bother them."
Upon hearing Wenzhou's description, Zhou Chao concluded that it was someone from Zhou Ran's security company, and that most of the girls Wenzhou saw were the bodyguard named Qiu Jing.
I really don't know where Zhou Ran got so many skilled people, especially Qiu Jing, who's like a human weapon.
It's no exaggeration to say that he could easily take on a hundred people.
He remembered that the neighborhood in Wenzhou was an ordinary neighborhood, and he wondered what tricks his younger brother was up to this time.
"Okay, I understand."
Wen Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness the president didn't ask him to protect Young Master Zhou. With his skinny arms and legs, he wouldn't even be able to withstand a single punch from those people.
Thinking to himself, Zhou Shao is amazing. He has so much at such a young age. Some people are born into privilege. They can't compare to him.
Zhou Ran sent someone in to check on Nan Zi's condition.
Once he confirmed that she had simply fainted, he gave her an injection and then had everyone leave. He planned to elicit a confession from her first.
After waiting for a while, just as Zhou Ran's patience was about to run out, Nan Zi finally woke up.
She immediately jumped out of bed and rushed outside. Seeing Zhou Ran sitting in a chair, she sat back down on the bed.
A question tinged with both doubt and delight.
"You didn't run away? Why didn't you run away? Do you like me a little?"
Zhou Ran rolled her eyes in an unseemly manner.
"Having confidence is a good thing, but too much confidence is disgusting."
"You don't want to leave, isn't that because you like it? I've already captured you, you should be scared and run away, that would be the normal reaction."
"Oh, I'm not afraid, so why are you leaving!"
"Um..." Author's note: Thank you to my mentor 9492239 (9492239) for your support, muah! To find out more exciting content, please leave a message for this book on Liancheng Reading.
