Not only did he not deny it, he also gave a direct answer.
Ye Rong looked at him in surprise, then held her chin with her hand and smiled: "It seems that the old lady didn't lie to me."
Shen Yanqing didn't ask in detail, and Ye Rong didn't explain in detail, but from these teasing words, it was not difficult for Shen Yanqing to understand the old lady's thoughts.
Shen Yanqing looked at her deeply and just smiled. He seemed not to be very interested in their conversation. Instead, he talked about something else: "The one-month deadline is coming soon. What are your plans after that?"
One month period.
Ye Rong certainly didn't forget, but she didn't expect Shen Yanqing to remember the time, even though it was something he had agreed to casually. On the way back to China after the Awole mission, she was afraid that Shen Yanqing might be in danger during the countdown to the succession, and that Shen Yanqing might get bored too quickly and be "dismissed" in advance, so she took the opportunity to ask Shen Yanqing to stay with her for a "one-month period".
The countdown to the system is exactly within the time limit of "one month".
Because tomorrow is the last day of the countdown to the new system.
Hearing what Shen Yanqing said, Ye Rong remembered the task of the company and said honestly, "It depends on the company's arrangement." Then, Ye Rong remembered something, looked at Shen Yanqing, and changed the subject: "I wonder if you are willing to see me at that time."
Shen Yanqing looked at her and smiled: "You have my private phone number."
Ye Rong blinked. Does this mean that she can meet him whenever she wants? Suddenly, Ye Rong became more confident about the task of improving Shen Yanqing's favorability!
At the beginning, the observer asked her to focus on protecting Shen Yanqing and put the conquest on hold. For this reason, Ye Rong did not deliberately try to conquer Shen Yanqing to improve his favorability. She only wanted to follow Shen Yanqing smoothly and not get "fired" halfway.
Now, the countdown for [33 days] is about to end, and her favorability has unknowingly increased to an unexpected value. After that, even if the agreed "one-month period" is over, she can still continue to see Shen Yanqing in other ways to continue to increase the remaining favorability.
After all, they are the country's elites, and they manage to make everything safe and secure without leaving any trace.
Ye Rong was very happy. She looked a bit lazy as she sat in a relaxed position. The sunlight came in through the car window and fell on her. Ye Rong squinted lazily.
The conversation with Old Lady Shen was quite tiring. Now Ye Rong was in an environment where she could relax. Since she had nothing on her mind, she actually began to feel a little sleepy. She simply took a nap with her arms as a pillow.
Ye Rong slept for half an hour. When she woke up and opened her eyes, she found that the car was still moving.
"Awake?" A pleasant voice came closer, "We'll be there in a little while."
Hearing Shen Yanqing's voice, Ye Rong looked at him with her arm resting on her head, her eyes falling on the notebook for work in front of him, it seemed that he had no time to rest at all. Ye Rong yawned slightly, buried her face in her arm, enjoying the lazy and comfortable aftertaste after the nap, and took the time to answer Shen Yanqing's words with a nasal voice: "Yeah."
It looks like a cat basking in the sun on the roof.
That "hmm" was too comfortable and lazy. Shen Yanqing, who was busy, couldn't help but look up at her. Compared with the cautiousness in front of him at the beginning, with her paws pressed to the ground, staring at him, afraid of missing a word. Now, this cat was in front of him without any scruples, exposing her belly to bask in the sun, and ignored his voice.
"………" Shen Yanqing's fingers that were tapping the keyboard paused for a moment. For some reason, he felt that it was a little funny, yet also a little envious.
The private estate is located on a quiet mountain, with wide and clean roads, and beautifully trimmed holly trees along the way. It can be seen that this place is well maintained. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can see through the car window that the snow on the top of the mountain has not completely cleared. With this mountain as the boundary, there are snow-capped mountains in the distance. Once you cross it, it seems like you have accidentally entered a world of ice and snow. This mountain seems to separate the two worlds.
"So beautiful!" Such exquisiteness is rare, and rich people really enjoy it.
This manor built on the top of a mountain has views of two worlds. The huge pool is filled with mist, and you can clearly smell the unique sulfur scent of the hot spring.
Ye Rong followed Shen Yanqing into the building in front with the unique style of Dongzhou. It was magnificent with exotic classical style, and looked gorgeous and elegant against the backdrop of red.
Very suitable place for vacation.
But does Shen Yanqing look like someone who has the leisure time to go on vacation?
Ye Rong was thinking this in her heart when she walked into the gate and saw several men with extraordinary demeanor and some with foreign faces. Ye Rong took a quick look and found that it was an acquaintance.
"You're finally here. I was worried that you wouldn't come." Sun Li was surprised to see that his friend's female companion hadn't changed. He even looked at Ye Rong with a different look. This wasn't just based on her looks. He walked over and took the initiative to say hello to Ye Rong: "See you again, Miss Ye."
"Long time no see, Mr. Sun." Ye Rong smiled.
While Ye Rong and Sun Li were talking, Shen Yanqing chatted with the foreigners for a while, and the atmosphere seemed to be very good.
Such a suitable place for vacation, Shen Yanqing really came here for social events. Ye Rong was not surprised, after all, this was Shen Yanqing's normal operation.
Everyone brought a female companion, but only Ye Rong was dressed casually. It wasn't that Ye Rong didn't care about her image, but the winter in Dongzhou was really cold, and it was impossible to survive without a down jacket. The key point was that Chen Yanqing didn't ask her to come in a dress directly, so Ye Rong thought it was just an ordinary social event, and she only wore a Song brocade dark pattern cheongsam that could never go wrong, and a knee-length dark blue down jacket.
However, even though Ye Rong was wrapped casually, her facial features were bright, and her gestures were graceful and appropriate, which made her stand out from the crowd.
The men had something to discuss, so the butler led them to the meeting room upstairs, while the female companions were taken to the entertainment room on the third floor by the maid.
There is an open-air swimming pool upstairs with hot spring water, a chess and card room and billiards, and a professional audio-visual room.
Ye Rong put on the cotton slippers brought by the maid and was led alone to a room with a familiar decoration style. There were floor-to-ceiling windows in the room, which offered the most beautiful scenery of the place.
After recovering from the indoor heating, Ye Rong took off her down jacket, put on the fur coat specially prepared for her by the maid, and then nestled comfortably on the sofa.
After a while, the maid brought her tea and snacks, all of which were her favorites.
Taking such care of her and knowing her habits and preferences so well, Ye Rong couldn't help but look at the maid: "Are you Mr. Shen's people?"
"Yes, Mr. Shen said you don't like unnecessary communication, so let us take you to Mr. Shen's bedroom." The maid said respectfully and gently, "Mr. Shen will be busy until late, tell us if you need anything."
"…………Okay, thank you." Ye Rong was surprised at Shen Yanqing's attentiveness and care. Although she was usually sociable, if it was not necessary, she would still prefer to lie down comfortably and be a salted fish. But she didn't expect Shen Yanqing to see it.
After the maid left, Ye Rong curled up on the sofa, the fur sticking to her body. Ye Rong looked at the snow-capped mountains outside the floor-to-ceiling window. After a short nap in the car, she now felt full of energy.
No wonder I felt that the style of this bedroom was familiar before, isn’t it the same style as the bedroom in Shen Yanqing’s Yuzang Mansion?
Ye Rong was not surprised that this place was Shen Yanqing's property, and was satisfied that it was as comfortable as her home.
Chen Yanqing is worthy of being the moonlight. It is hard not to be addicted to his meticulous consideration and gentleness. After all, a person with impeccable abilities, outstanding family background and appearance, and who treats you well and is a gentleman with grace, who can resist this? It is no wonder that his "ex-girlfriends" fell in love with him easily even though they knew the contract, and still could not hate him after they broke up.
Ye Rong sighed, it was thanks to this that, except for being nervous and cautious at the beginning, after getting a little familiar with Chen Yanqing, Ye Rong lived a very comfortable life every day and almost forgot that she still had a mission to do.
Of course, it is impossible to forget the mission.
Ye Rong took out her cell phone and clicked on the Rubik's Cube. Shen Yanqing's favorability rating rose steadily from 73 to 76. Thinking of how Shen Yanqing was in a good mood in the car before, she understood.
It seems that Mrs. Shen played a significant role.
Ye Rong played games for a while, then ate cakes and snacks brought by the maid while watching TV series. When she got tired, she dozed off for a while. When she opened her eyes, she found that it had become cloudy outside.
The snow-capped mountains stood tall, and the snow never seemed to fall. Even the temperature outside was much colder than that in the Zang Mansion. Fortunately, the indoor heating was turned on high, so as long as she didn't go out, it wouldn't affect her much.
It started snowing again in the evening. The maid knocked on the door and brought in a cup of freshly brewed milk tea and placed it in front of her.
"I heard that you like milk tea. This is specially prepared for you by the chef. Please try it."
"Thank you." Ye Rong picked up the cup and could smell the sweet aroma of milk and black tea in the air with every breath. The porcelain cup was filled with brown milk tea, which made people feel better visually.
Ye Rong drank the hot milk tea that was carefully prepared for her in the kitchen while admiring the snow outside. Ye Rong felt lazy.
These days are too comfortable.
She was too lazy to move.
It was not until nightfall that the maid came to tell her that Shen Yanqing had finished his work.
Ye Rong was still curled up without any reaction, and didn't even notice that Shen Yanqing had returned, and the maid retreated.
The footsteps stopped behind Ye Rong.
“Can a person ever get bored?”
A familiar voice sounded beside him. Ye Rong looked up and saw Shen Yanqing coming back. Hearing his words, he couldn't help but smile: "I think I'm here for vacation. I'm going to take an outdoor hot spring bath later."
Bored? Not really.
Shen Yanqing smiled: "I'll go down and have dinner with them later, and you can arrange the rest of the time yourself."
She was too easy to raise, and she was greedy for comfort, making people feel that it would be easy to raise her into a good-for-nothing. Of course, it was just a feeling.
She always makes people feel that she is easy-going and at ease, and the feeling of ease around her can easily infect others, making people feel that they can also be infected by the ease and ease she brings to people around her. However, these are not contrary to her "purpose" and "ambition", but subtly compatible with them, making it even more difficult for people to take their eyes off her. They want to know what the "ambition" in the heart of someone like her is.
During this period of time, Shen Yanqing naturally discovered that when he was with her, he could also get a short rest.
Shen Yanqing actually felt that "one month" was a bit short.
Ye Rong thought of something, turned around and asked him, "Aren't you going back to the Yizang Mansion tonight?"
Chen Yanqing nodded: "Rest for a night and go back tomorrow morning. I have someone prepare your clothes here."
"Okay." Ye Rong nodded and put a piece of nougat in his mouth.
Seeing her mouth bulging like a small animal, Shen Yanqing moved his index finger.
Ye Rong stared at the approaching man with wide eyes. The man poked her cheek and poked her again.
Ye Rong: “…”
What are you doing?
Shen Yanqing withdrew his hand: "Can you still eat dinner later?"
"Don't worry, my stomach is still empty for dinner." Ye Rong said incoherently while holding a piece of candy in her mouth.
Shen Yanqing: “…”
The atmosphere of the dinner was very good and it was obvious that we had a pleasant conversation that afternoon.
Everyone sat down at the long table with their female companions. The glass dishes sparkled in the candlelight, adding a touch of elegance and romance to the dinner atmosphere.
Ye Rong sat down next to Shen Yanqing, the maid began to serve appetizers to everyone, and the butler poured the wine for everyone.
Ye Rong knew that Shen Yanqing couldn't drink, so she glanced at him subconsciously.
Shen Yanqing noticed her gaze and smiled in the candlelight, which was indescribably deep and seductive. Ye Rong paused for a moment, and then heard Shen Yanqing lean over slightly and whisper in her ear: "Block it a little, I'll pretend."
Ye Rong nodded and said, that's good.
After all, drunk Shen Yanqing is a bit tricky.
The two of them were whispering to each other, except for Sun Li on the opposite side who glanced over here, the others didn't pay much attention to this scene, and they were all chatting happily with the people around them.
The dinner lasted almost an hour. After Ye Rong finished her dessert, she put down her fork and stopped eating.
After dinner, everyone seemed to have other activities.
The housekeeper took them to the entertainment room on the third floor. Shen Yanqing was still sitting at the dining table. Before leaving, Sun Li glanced at him and Ye Rong for a moment, but said nothing and went upstairs with the others.
Ye Rong saw that his expression did not change much. During dinner, there was not much wine in Shen Yanqing's glass at the beginning, and there was no less wine in the glass at the end. The wine only touched his lips during the whole process.
You can't get drunk like this, right?
When Ye Rong was about to ask, Shen Yanqing looked up and met the slightly worried eyes. His eyes paused, then he smiled: "I'm fine."
That's good. Ye Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Rong stood up with him, and then heard Shen Yanqing turn his gaze to her and said, "I don't think you are the type who likes to be lively, why don't you come with me?"
Ye Rong nodded: "Okay."
After Ye Rong agreed, the maid quickly went upstairs and brought her a down jacket.
Although it was as warm as spring inside, it was still snowing outside.
Shen Yanqing also put on a coat and a scarf. He did not look bulky or cumbersome, but instead showed off his natural advantage of being a clothes hanger. Coupled with his good looks, he was pleasing to the eye.
Ye Rong wrapped his down jacket tightly and put on the hood of the jacket when he walked out.
In the face of the cold, she still needs a down jacket to save her life.
The soft light emitted by the stone lamps on the ground contrasts with the moonlight in the sky, but does not hinder vision. One can even see the towering snow-capped mountains adjacent to it.
Ye Rong looked at the falling snow. The fine and continuous snow was very beautiful under the light. It was also very interesting to take a walk in the snow.
"Do you mind if I smoke?" Shen Yanqing asked.
"No problem."
Watching the smoke of tobacco blending into the cold air, Ye Rong once again felt that it was rare to be able to make smoking so elegant and ethereal. Although he could always smell a faint smell of tobacco on him, he rarely smoked. Many times, Ye Rong thought it was because of the men's perfume, because it smelled a bit good when mixed with the smell of ebony.
Perhaps because Ye Rong's gaze stayed on her for too long, Shen Yanqing let the cigarette burn between his fingers and turned to look at her: "Are you uncomfortable with the smoke?"
Hearing this, Ye Rong quickly waved her hands: "No, no, I just think your smoking posture is weird and beautiful."
"………" Shen Yanqing gently put the cigarette holder on his lips, but paused for a moment because of these words. He glanced at the little girl who was walking in the snow like a baby bird, his eyebrows relaxed, and his tone was low and gentle: "Am I pretty?"
Amazed by the sudden blooming of the chrysanthemums in the snow, Ye Rong was stunned for a moment: "Of course!" She was shocked that the person in front of her was beautiful but unaware of it, and she even used such a skeptical tone, is this scientific! Ye Rong is quite confident in her beauty, how can you doubt her aesthetics! She spoke sincerely and seriously, patting her chest, and her down jacket was banged by her: "Not only do you have a beautiful smoking posture, but you also have a superior figure and skin. Even in the entertainment industry where there are so many beauties, your beauty is unique!"
Shen Yanqing: “…”
He suddenly discovered that she seemed particularly slow in some respects.
She has a clear purpose. Even though she is a bit easy-going and likes to enjoy a comfortable life, she will not really indulge in it and forget her "original intention". She is open and honest with him and shows the greatest kindness when getting along with him, but she can also "keep herself out".
Don't be blinded by appearances and glitz.
So, why does such a sober girl yearn for the flashy and turbulent entertainment industry?
Shen Yanqing subconsciously ruled out the possibility that she was tricked into signing the contract, even though Sun Li speculated that she was deceived by an unknown pheasant company.
He suddenly realized that he knew nothing about her.
Of course, he really didn't care about these things before. Those people came and went, and he couldn't even remember their names and faces.
Shen Yanqing took a puff of cigarette, exhaled slowly, turned around and asked her: "Do you like the entertainment industry?"
Ye Rong paused. She had acquired this identity for the purpose of completing the mission. She couldn't lie to anyone whether she liked it or not. So, she said, "I can't say I like it. I just want to try a different lifestyle and experience life."
Shen Yanqing didn't think there was anything wrong with this answer, because she really felt that way. Shen Yanqing said, "I heard from Sun Li that you are the only artist in your company?"
"Well, our company has few people, and I am the only artist for now." Ye Rong couldn't say that the company was specially established by the state for her. However, the company's employees were public information. Although there were only a few of them, they could all be found. It was a company with proper procedures and legality, but it didn't seem like a company that was only interested in making money in the entertainment industry. It looked like it had a bleak future, and it wouldn't be surprising if it went bankrupt at any time.
"Sun Li is very good at judging people in the entertainment industry. He is very optimistic about you and has always wanted to recruit you to his company." Chen Yanqing looked at her and said helplessly, "What do you think?"
Sun Li has occupied half of the entertainment industry. His resources, connections and reputation have made him never lack first-line artists, which has also led to a very high threshold for his company. Now Ye Rong is equivalent to having the qualification of internal recommendation, and can also rely on the big mountain of Shen Yanqing. What resources does he not have? Becoming famous is just a matter of blinking an eye.
