Chapter 12 It’s better to really want to see her again
Chen Zan went to the hotel gate and got the coat from the errand boy, along with the shoes given to her by Secretary Zhang, and pressed the 27th floor of the hotel elevator.
Chen Zan stood outside the suite and prepared himself thoroughly before ringing the doorbell.
She counted silently in her mind, and if the door was not opened for more than a minute, she would put her things at the door and go back to school.
Contrary to her expectations, before she could even count to twenty, the door opened from the inside.
Zhou Jingyu was forced to drink a lot of wine at noon today, and at this moment, there was a hint of red on his cold and stern face.
As for the pair of silver-rimmed glasses on his nose, they had been taken off long ago, and his deep eyes, without the obstruction of the lenses, locked onto her even more darkly.
Chen Zhan had already prepared himself mentally, but when he met the other person's eyes, his heart couldn't help but tighten.
The air seemed to be stagnant. She opened her mouth and called out dryly, "Mr. Zhou."
He was a little surprised that it was Chen Zhan who knocked on the door. He looked down and frowned: "Why don't you change your shoes?"
Her high heels didn't fit her feet and her heels were rubbed raw. When she saw the little boy putting a Band-Aid on her wound, she asked someone to bring her a pair of flat shoes.
Chen Zhan hesitated to speak. Zhou Jingyu knew his intention from a glance. His face darkened and he turned inside. "Come in if you have anything to say."
Chen Zhan was stunned for a moment. She quickly glanced inside and saw that all the curtains in the suite were closed. It was pitch black, with only a floor lamp next to the sofa on.
Zhou Jingyu sat back on the sofa, picked up the lighter and cigarette box on the coffee table, then thought of something and threw the cigarette back.
Chen Zhan stood still at the door, reorganizing his words and speaking quickly, "Mr. Zhou, I'm here to return my clothes and shoes. I've already sent my coat to the dry cleaners, and as for the shoes, I can't wear them anymore, so I'll return them to you unopened. Thank you for helping me out at the club last time."
Zhou Jingyu was just playing with the lighter in his hand, looking at Chen Zan solemnly, "Miss Chen, isn't it a bit perfunctory to just say thank you."
Chen Zhan was also a little embarrassed and said cautiously: "You don't need anything. Maybe if you are free someday, I will treat you to a meal."
Zhou Jingyu sneered, "You don't even dare to enter my door, and you dare to invite me to dinner?"
Chen Zan felt that Mr. Zhou, a powerful man, was too difficult to deal with. After just a few words, she was defeated.
After thinking about it, I decided to go in.
As he stepped into the dark room, the closer he got to Zhou Jingyu, the stronger the invisible sense of oppression became, as if a hunter had finally waited for his prey to walk into the trap he had set long ago.
Chen Zan was nervous and his back was straight.
She placed the coat and the packaging bag printed with the luxury brand's logo on the coffee table, then retreated to a safe distance and said politely, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, please forgive my inconsiderateness."
After a pause, he said, "I thought you were very busy at work and didn't have time to bother with a nobody like me, so I didn't dare to bother you. Besides, you have everything you need..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller. She felt guilty about lying because she had never thought about treating the other person to a meal.
Zhou Jingyu naturally saw through her lie easily. He leaned lazily against the back of his chair and said, "I don't remember Miss Chen asking me. How do you know I have everything I need?"
His tone was light and he seemed calm, but in fact the look in his eyes when he looked at her was like a bottomless dark river with surging undercurrents, revealing an extremely dangerous and aggressive look.
Chen Zan didn't say anything because she was afraid that after asking, she would not be able to give Zhou Jingyu what he wanted.
In her silence, Zhou Jingyu put the lighter back on the coffee table and stood up.
He was not wearing a suit jacket, his collar was undone, and his tie was long gone. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing his muscular forearms.
It was as if his original ascetic and cold appearance had been stripped off, and that wild and evil aura was once again strongly exposed to her.
The man in black leather shoes with thin red soles took two steps towards her, his tall figure almost covering her in his shadow. Chen Zan's heart trembled slightly.
He subconsciously stepped back and said, "Mr. Zhou, the last time you helped me, it was just a simple task. Why did you make it difficult for me?"
Her resistance was obvious, and Zhou Jingyu didn't move.
For the first time, he didn't call her Miss Chen politely, but called her by her name: "Chen Zhan."
He has a nice voice and has been in a high position for a long time, so he knows best what tone of voice will make people submit and be confused.
Chen Zan raised his eyelids. In the dim room, a shadow seemed to cover the outline of the person, making the clear eyes look as if they were soaked in water, dark and shiny.
Yet, there was a sense of alienation and arrogance in it that she herself was not aware of.
The only thing missing is writing the words "Please stay away from me" in large letters.
She put on makeup today, her lip color is very beautiful, and the seductive look at the corners of her eyes is also very desirable.
But he really didn't like the look in her eyes.
So when their eyes met, Zhou Jingyu suppressed the impatience in his throat and said unhappily, "It's not as simple as just a flick of the wrist."
Chen Zhan pursed his lips and said stubbornly, "Then what do you want?"
This is a sign of getting angry.
Zhou Jingyu chuckled at this moment, with a slight curve at the corners of his eyes, but his eyes were not gentle at all.
Chen Zan's heart tightened again.
Zhou Jingyu scrutinized her: "Are you afraid of me and deliberately distancing yourself from me?"
Her breathing became more stagnant.
Chen Zan really wanted to say no, but she couldn't say it against her will.
It’s not fear, it’s awe!
Out of respect for Zhou Jingyu's status and his high position of power, almost everyone at this year's art exhibition respected and flattered him, and even the media mostly came for him.
In the club, his few casual words were enough to frighten the local tyrant Wei Qiming and make Wei Yunxi, the young master who looked down on everyone, apologize to her.
He was also the person her grandmother and mother repeatedly reminded her to stay away from, the person she should avoid as much as possible.
And she has always been very obedient.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Zhan said seriously, "I respect you."
This sentence almost made Zhou Jingyu laugh, and he even wondered if the little girl was mocking him.
For once, he wasn't bothered by other people's emotions. A rare flicker of confusion crossed his handsome, sharp face. "When we were at your grandmother's house, we were still able to communicate in a friendly manner. I don't remember ever offending you."
He wants to hide so much, is he the plague god?
Chen Zhan curled his fingers slightly, avoided the eye contact, and lowered his eyelashes, "Mr. Zhou, I have things to do and need to go back to school. If you don't have anything else, I'll leave first."
The moment the words fell, the air pressure in the room suddenly turned cold. Just a simple gaze made the oppressive feeling surge like a tide, suffocating.
During those few seconds, Chen Zhan almost stopped breathing.
After a moment, Zhou Jingyu suddenly felt bored. He looked at her with a cold look in his eyes, and even the evil mole on his face became icy.
He said, "Go ahead."
Chen Zan was surprised that he let her go just like that?
He moved his lips, wanting to say something, but then felt like there was nothing to say. "Goodbye, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Jingyu's brows were lowered, and his whole body revealed an extremely unhappy and dangerous aura. "Chen Zan, you better really think so."
It would be best if you really wanted to see him again.
