Ni Sitian realized something was wrong and quickly turned and ran down the steps.
Pei Yang was a little confused by how fast she was running. Once she got into the car, he turned away, turned gracefully, and walked into the clubhouse.
By this time, darkness had fallen, and the stars tonight were exceptionally dim, as if their light had been obscured by dark clouds.
At the entrance of the Regent Hotel, Xiang Zhilan took a deep breath and walked up the steps with a heavy expression.
She knew what she might be about to face, but at that moment she had no other choice.
If they can get through tonight, Shen Muzhi will have Manager Feng handed over to the police tomorrow. He also promised that Manager Feng would tell the truth and clear her father's name.
She has no choice but to believe him now.
With each step Xiang Zhilan took onto the hotel's thick carpet, her heart grew heavier.
Just two days ago, she proudly declared that she was definitely not someone he could keep, but now she's begging him for help.
That aloof and cold man would probably take the opportunity to humiliate and belittle her, wouldn't he?
Xiang Zhilan clenched her fist. No matter what happens tonight, she will endure it.
Standing outside the presidential suite, she raised her hand but hesitated to knock, taking deep breaths repeatedly after a long pause.
Having finally made up his mind, just as he was about to knock on the door, the door opened from the inside.
A large golden retriever pounced on her, and she was so frightened that she backed away, but she was still pounced on.
But it didn't hurt her; it just pounced on her, rubbing against her and licking her, wagging its tail rapidly, showing its joyful mood.
Xiang Zhilan was bitten by a dog when she was a child and has been traumatized ever since. She is very afraid of dogs, especially large dogs.
So startled by the pounce that they forgot to even scream; two and a half of their three souls were scared away.
"Jinji." Shen Muzhi slowly walked out from inside the door and called out in a low voice.
Jinji looked back at its master, nuzzled its head against Xiang Zhilan's neck, and reluctantly got down, obediently walking to Shen Muzhi's side.
Xiang Zhilan patted her chest, still shaken, so frightened that she almost forgot why she had come here.
"Let's go." Shen Muzhi walked towards the private elevator, and said in a cool and low voice as he passed Xiang Zhilan.
Xiang Zhilan snapped out of her daze and remembered her deal with him, so she had no choice but to follow him closely.
The two people and the dog entered the elevator, went downstairs, and exited the Regent Hotel.
The driver had brought a stretch Lincoln to the gate early in the morning. Shen Mu got into the car, and Jin Ji jumped in after him.
Xiang Zhilan stood outside the car door, hesitated for a moment, and asked Shen Muzhi, "Where are we going?"
"Have you forgotten that you're here to make a deal? For the next three months, you have no right to disobey any of my orders." Shen Muzhi didn't look at her, stroking Jinji's beautiful fur, and said calmly, "If you want to back out now, you can get on the bus."
Xiang Zhilan bit her lip, her eyes darkened, and she bent down to get into the car, sitting opposite Shen Muzhi.
As soon as Jinji saw her come in, she frolicked and ran to her feet.
Xiang Zhilan was so frightened that she almost curled up in her seat, shouting nervously, "You, you stay away!"
Jinji insisted on getting close to her, so he jumped onto the seat and rested his head on her lap.
"Get down, get down..." Xiang Zhilan cried, leaning back to minimize the contact area between her body and the dog.
Seeing how frightened she was, Shen Muzhi made no attempt to stop her, only saying indifferently, "Jinji doesn't bite."
