The super rich starts with the self-discipline challenge

Chapter 34 Why Be Secretive
Zhong Yun sat down at the dining table and saw that today's meal was quite rich, with four dishes and one soup. The soup was chicken soup, with boiled shrimp, braised pork feet, braised spareribs, and a piece of water spinach.

He glanced at Ruan Xi who was taking off her apron. This meal was a bit expensive.

It was impossible for her to buy so many dishes by herself, so it was obviously to entertain Wen Xiaoyue and him.

Today she wore a white shirt with a slightly fitted waist, which highlighted her figure.

She usually wears loose T-shirts, and you can't tell that she has such a figure, but it should be at least C.

Ruan Xi seemed to sense his gaze, her face slightly blushed, and she lowered her head and sat next to Wen Xiaoyue, facing him.

She picked up the chopsticks and said, "Eat."

Wen Xiaoyue couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and praised each dish after tasting it, "It's delicious."

“That’s great.”

“This shrimp is amazing.”

"Senior, I didn't expect you to be such a good cook. Whoever can marry you in the future will be so happy."

Zhong Yun glared at his niece. How could she praise someone? Did you know that for many women, marrying a man and cooking for him is like being a free nanny, serving his family?
Seeing that she was still praising him, he put a piece of pork ribs in her bowl and said, "Talk less while eating."

Wen Xiaoyue looked at him with a bit of dissatisfaction, but still closed her mouth and ate quietly.

……

After dinner, Wen Xiaoyue took the initiative to help clean up the dishes. After putting everything into the dishwasher one by one, she wiped the table again.

Then, he pulled Zhong Yun, who was half lying on the sofa looking at his phone, and said goodbye.

After entering the elevator, Wen Xiaoyue complained, "Uncle, can you give me some face in front of my friends?"

She was referring to the time when he used an elder's tone to ask her not to speak during dinner.

Zhong Yun said, "Okay, I will pay attention next time."

If you want to have a good relationship with the younger generation, you can't always act like an elder. There is no other way around it.

Wen Xiaoyue complained again, "Also, be more careful next time. Don't treat others like your own family and act like a big shot. It's over. Senior Sister Ruan Xi must have a very bad impression of you. She will definitely not invite me to her house again in the future."

At the end, she looked regretful, "I shouldn't have called you if I had known. No, I have to send her a message to apologize."

Zhong Yun couldn't help laughing.

You think that's your friend, but in fact, I know her better than you do.

In this world, he is only cautious in front of his superiors and the police. The former is the one who pays him, and the latter represents the iron fist of the country.

No one else deserves it.

If you are always cautious in front of your friends, worried about offending them, then you are not really a friend.

Wen Xiaoyue definitely doesn’t understand this principle now.

At this time, Wen Xiaoyue suddenly said happily, "She texted me back. She didn't ignore me."

Short message?

Isn't that used to receive verification codes?
Who still sends text messages these days?

When Zhong Yun thought of Ruan Xi's old-fashioned mobile phone, he couldn't help but shake his head. She was already a senior high school student and still didn't have a smart phone. It was too inconvenient.

Then, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Ruan Xi calling. He glanced at Wen Xiaoyue and answered the phone calmly, "Hello."

On the other end of the phone, Ruan Xi's voice was slightly distorted, "Are you injured?"

Zhong Yun said, "It's okay."

It's just a minor scratch. In the past, he wouldn't even apply any medicine for an injury of this magnitude.

In fact, his injury was on the inside of his arm and was not obvious. Unexpectedly, she still found it.

On the contrary, his niece was so focused on Ruan Xi that she didn't even notice his injury.

Zhong Yun said, "I'm home now. I don't want to chat with you anymore." Then he hung up the phone.

That’s not right. Why does it seem like an affair?
……

After returning home, Wen Xiaoyue kept texting Ruan Xi until Zhong Yun called her to take a shower. Then she went into the bathroom and brought her cell phone with her.

Zhong Yun, who had just finished taking a shower and was blow-drying his hair, heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" At this time, could it be Gao Yutao again?

He went over to open the door and saw Ruan Xi standing there with a bag in her hand. The bag looked familiar, as it was a bag from a pharmacy outside the community.

isn't it?
Come again?

Zhong Yun said hurriedly, "I have already applied the medicine——"

"Let me see."

Ruan Xi took his hand, her tone was serious and could not be refused. Seeing the scratch on his hand, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips and said, "Come out for a moment."

Zhong Yun closed the door, and Ruan Xi pulled him to the stairwell and took out the things in the bag.

It turned out to be iodine-containing cotton swab.

So, why are you being so sneaky?
This thought flashed through his mind, but seeing Ruan Xi's serious look, he did not ask this inappropriate question.

In fact, it feels good to have someone care about you.

When Ruan Xi was applying iodine to him, the cotton swab retracted as soon as it touched his wound. She looked at him nervously, afraid of hurting him.

After trying twice, he applied the medicine very gently.

In fact, his wounds were already a little scabbed, and he didn't feel anything when he applied the medicine on them.

At this moment, the sensor light on the stairs suddenly went out, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

Ruan Xi did not stop her movements and continued to apply medicine on his wound.

Zhong Yun didn't move. If he waved his hand, the sensor light would light up, but he didn't want to ruin the atmosphere at the moment, so he didn't move.

In the darkness, he could only vaguely see an outline.

Perhaps because he couldn't see, his other senses were magnified, and he could smell a faint, pleasant fragrance coming from her.

He even had the urge to get close to her neck and suck hard.

Zhong Yun once read a statement that when you think a person of the opposite sex smells good, that is physiological liking for him or her.

This is absolute bullshit. Any liking a man has for a woman that is not physiological?

After a while, Zhong Yun discovered that the cotton swab in Ruan Xi's hand had gone astray and was applied to an uninjured area, lightly scratching the skin, like a feather, itching all the way to the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, the elevator outside made a sound and someone arrived on the eighth floor.

"Brother, which one is it?"

"It's already 802, don't you have eyes?"

It was two men talking, and they deliberately lowered their voices.

Zhong Yun's heart moved. Room 802 was his next-door neighbor, and these two men were coming for her.

He stretched out his hand and covered Ruan Xi's mouth, signaling her not to make a sound or move.

These two men are probably not good people, so it is better not to alarm them.

Through a fire door, the conversation between the two people outside was clearly heard by them, "Brother, how do we open the door?"

"use this."

"How did you get the key?"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Go in and look carefully. That woman is still in the hospital. We must take this opportunity to find that thing."

"Brother, what exactly are we looking for?"

"A USB stick."

When Zhong Yun heard this, he thought, I'm sorry, the USB flash drive you are looking for is not in this woman's hands at all, but was taken away by another woman.

It was quite amusing to think about it. He had overheard quite a few conversations these days and knew much more about the matter than the parties involved.

At this moment, there was a sound of the door opening, and then a soft bang as the door closed.

"Walk."

Zhong Yun pulled Ruan Xi down the stairs. As soon as they moved, the sensor light in the stairwell lit up. He turned around and saw Ruan Xi's face was flushed, even her ears were red. He immediately felt something was wrong.
