Chapter 114 What is interesting?
Bai Qi and Zhang Qing sat in the underground parking lot waiting. The latter glanced at the time from time to time, feeling very nervous.
It's not a big deal that Mr. Zhou did this in private. The main reason is that he is afraid of being caught and made a fuss about it, although the probability of this is very low.
But we can obviously take it step by step. I don't know why Mr. Zhou is so irrational tonight. It is definitely a bit risky to do this.
Bai Qi glanced at him, unable to bear it any longer, "Can you stop shaking?"
Zhang Qing stopped shaking his legs and tutted, "I came here late, why didn't you try to persuade me?"
Zhou Jingyu had left the dinner party early and needed someone to stay to clean up afterward. Zhang Qing only found out what had happened when he arrived.
Bai Qi scoffed lightly, "The higher-ups have already sent someone to silence them. This is still a hotel under the Jiang family, and it's also under Mr. Jiang's name. Who would dare to spread the news so recklessly? Offending people or getting paid? Even a fool would know which to choose."
Zhang Qing choked and sighed, "I'd better try to persuade him in the future. After all, there are so many eyes watching him in the officialdom."
Bai Qi said bluntly, "You're overthinking it. Mr. Zhou has only been irrational over Miss Chen's affairs over the years. If you want Mr. Zhou to avoid taking risks in the future, just pray that they reconcile soon."
Zhang Qing was speechless. "Okay, okay, you've already said what you want to say. Then tell me more. You can drive Mr. Zhou and the others back later."
Bai Qi: "..."
About half an hour later, the elevator opened and Zhou Jingyu came out holding someone. He had taken off his coat and covered the person in his arms with it, covering her completely, but one could still vaguely tell from her figure that she was a woman.
Zhang Qing and the other person immediately got out of the car and stepped forward to help.
Zhou Jingyu walked past them and ordered coldly, "Go and keep an eye on them and delete the surveillance footage."
Zhang Qing took the order and went to do the work.
Bai Qi subconsciously glanced at the man's arms. He was sleeping so soundly that he probably didn't even know what had happened.
As a result, when he raised his eyes, he met Zhou Jingyu's cold warning eyes, and Bai Qi immediately knew that he had seen something he shouldn't have seen.
He bowed his head and said respectfully, "Mr. Zhou, I will take you back to Jinfutai."
Zhou Jingyu carefully put the person into the passenger seat, fastened the seat belt, and gently closed the car door. "No need, you and Zhang Qing can go home directly after you finish the work."
After saying that, he got into the driver's seat and drove out of the parking lot without waiting for Bai Qi to speak.
When Zhang Qing came back after deleting the surveillance footage, Bai Qi was the only one left in the parking lot. "Mr. Zhou is gone?"
Bai Qi: "Left early."
Zhang Qing took out a cigarette case and asked, "Want a cigarette?"
Bai Qi thought about it, took out a cigarette to accompany him, and then the two of them started smoking.
Zhang Qing: "You said Mr. Zhou kidnapped someone in the middle of the night. When Miss Chen wakes up tomorrow, will the Jinfutai be in chaos?"
Bai Qi: "Ms. Chen is a rational person, so she shouldn't. We should be worried about whether Mr. Zhou will go crazy."
Zhang Qing shuddered when he thought about that scene.
——
Chen Zan woke up once in a daze in the middle of the night and found himself in a warm embrace. He thought he was dreaming and rubbed his face unconsciously.
This caused a low chuckle to escape the man's throat, and he felt a gentle pat on his back from a large hand.
There was still work to do at the exhibition, so Chen Zan set the alarm on his phone in advance.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I realized something was wrong. The curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the room were all drawn, and only a very dim floor lamp at the head of the bed was on.
But the furnishings and layout didn't look like her hotel room at all.
She sat up suddenly, and the goose down quilt slowly slipped off her body. She was still wearing the nightgown she wore last night. She glanced around and was suddenly stunned.
When she came to Beijing a few years ago, she stayed here for two nights. Although a long time has passed, the furnishings here have not changed much and are still familiar to her.
This is the house where Zhou Jingyu lives in Beijing.
Suddenly, I remembered the figure sitting at the head of the bed and the sigh before I fell asleep last night. It was not a dream.
Zhou Jingyu was actually so despicable that he brought people to block her at the club but failed, and actually used these despicable means behind her back.
Only at this point did Chen Zan have to believe that Zhou Jingyu was really crazy and had really changed!
She rolled back the quilt and got out of bed, not even having time to wash up, before going to confront someone.
When I just went downstairs, I didn’t see Zhou Jingyu in the living room. Instead, there was a servant preparing breakfast. He was not surprised to see Chen Zan suddenly appear. Someone must have greeted him in advance.
Chen Zan turned around and went towards the study.
The study door was half-closed, and Zhou Jingyu was standing in front of the French window, talking on the phone with a sullen face.
"Send Director Xu from the General Office to the summit today."
It seemed like the person on the phone was talking about business. Chen Zan's hand that was pushing the door stopped and his mind became a little clearer.
Just as I was planning to let him finish the call before confronting him, Zhou Jingyu seemed to sense something and turned to look at me.
Chen Zan was wearing a nightgown, standing at the door with a thin figure and a cold face.
Zhou Jingyu quickly said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Let's arrange it this way."
Then he hung up.
He walked straight towards Chen Zan and said softly, "Awake."
Chen Zhan: "Mr. Zhou, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Why did she wake up in his bedroom?
Zhou Jingyu put the phone down on the sofa. He glanced at her bare feet and frowned disapprovingly, "Why don't you put on your shoes?"
After saying that, he went to get shoes for Chen Zan, completely ignoring her questioning.
"Zhou Jingyu!" Chen Zan looked at his back and gritted his teeth.
What is he pretending?
The man went to the shoe cabinet and got a pair of new slippers. They were just the right size for Chen Zan, neither too big nor too small. He pretended to squat down and put them on her.
She frowned and took a step back, but a big hand grabbed her ankle.
Chen Zan has a small frame, with slender wrists and calves. When Zhou Jingyu was intimate with her in the past, he was afraid that he would accidentally break her when he held her and adjusted her posture.
Over the past few years, she hasn't gained any weight, but has become thinner instead.
The man's slender, strong hands with distinct bones firmly grasped her ankles. He applied a little force and said in a deep voice, "Don't move."
From the angle looking down at her, Chen Zan could see his drooping eyelashes and high nose bone, and he was concentrating on putting the slippers on her cold feet.
She watched this familiar scene quietly, and for some reason, a sour feeling slowly rose in her heart.
"Let's go eat." After Zhou Jingyu put on his shoes and stood up, he skillfully tried to hold her hand.
It was as if they were still in Rongchuan, still in Jingfu, still in the apartment he gave to Chen Zan, as if they had never been separated.
Chen Zan hid her hands behind her back, and Zhou Jingyu's move was in vain. She asked calmly, "Is this interesting, Zhou Jingyu?"
She didn't even need to ask him why she ended up here. It was a meaningless topic.
Zhou Jingyu is a meticulous and thoughtful person, but he often makes exceptions for Chen Zan. Probably no one would have thought that as soon as Chen Zan left, he went to the hotel where Chen Zan was staying and hid him in his home using underhanded means.
He lowered his eyes, his dark gaze fixed on her. "So what do you think is interesting?"
Chen Zan clenched his slender white fingers and said calmly, "It's boring if you keep pestering me like this. If you let me go now and part ways amicably, that would be interesting."
If it were Zhou Jingyu, who was emotionally unstable yesterday, he would probably be furious at her insistence. But he had brought her back, right within his reach and control. No matter how she provoked him, he didn't feel angry at all, and instead felt a little happy inside.
This is probably the psychological distortion after "losing and regaining"?
