Shen Zhexing stood alone in the dark room for a while. After his eyes slowly adapted to the darkness, he walked to the small balcony outside the living room, leaned against the glass window with his tall body, took out his mobile phone, and called Ling Wei. Telephone.

Ling Wei was eating skewers at the moment and was frightened when she saw Shen Zhexing's phone call.

During the day, she promised Shen Zhexing not to meet Jian Sichen alone.

At this moment, the two of them were eating supper alone.

Although she was aboveboard and didn't think there was anything wrong with this, after all, she promised Shen Zhexing first.

If Rang knew that she didn't keep her word, he would definitely be angry again.

"Mr. Jian, please wait for me for a moment, I'll answer the phone!"

Jian Sichen took a deep look at Ling Wei's phone and nodded.

Ling Wei walked to the side of the road, not too far away from Jian Sichen. She couldn't hear the other party's words, but she could see the person.

Before answering the phone, she glanced at Jian Sichen subconsciously.

After making sure that he was not looking at her, she answered the phone and put it to her ear: "Zhe Xing, it's so late, aren't you still asleep?"

Shen Zhexing asked: "Are you still at the company? When will you get off work? I'll pick you up!"

The voice was calm and there was no joy to be heard.

But the fingers holding the phone were tightening with nervousness.

Ling Wei didn't want him to think wildly or misunderstand, so she shook her head and said: "No, I don't know how long it will take here! You don't have to pick me up! Besides, my rental house is not far from the company. , and walked back in a few minutes. If you come back and forth, you will waste a lot of time on the road."

Her words made Shen Zhexing's heart sink.

"So, are you still in the company now?"

He asked again without giving up.

Ling Wei felt guilty and instinctively answered: "Yes! I'm still in the company! There are a lot of things, so I don't know how long I will work overtime today! Just go to sleep first! I will send you a message when I get back to say you are safe."

Shen Zhexing's hand holding the phone kept tightening and tightening.

No one knew how nervous he was at the moment, with his heart almost in his throat.

He didn't want Ling Wei to deceive him.

Even if the truth would make him unhappy, he didn't want her to lie.

Lying means she has a guilty conscience.

Not lying at least meant that she was honest and her relationship with Jian Sichen was innocent.

Unfortunately, he was still disappointed.

"Yes! I'm still in the company now!"

Shen Zhexing seemed to fall into a bottomless abyss all of a sudden, completely despairing, and his handsome face fell tightly.

"Okay! Then when you are done with your work, go home early and report to me that you are safe when you get home, so that I can feel at ease."

If it was him two days ago, he might lose his temper or ask her to come back directly.

But now he can't.

He couldn't meet Jian Sichen.

You can't get angry at Ling Wei.

He couldn't push Ling Wei further away.

Quarreling can't solve anyone's problems, but will make Weiwei afraid of him.

Seeing that he didn't ask any more questions, Ling Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay! Then you should go to bed early."

"The same to you!"

After Shen Zhexing briefly mentioned some precautions, the two hung up the phone.

Shen Zhexing stood in front of the glass window, his dark eyes staring at the neon night scene outside the window for a moment, and the mobile phone in his hand was almost crushed.

Ling Wei put the phone back into her pocket, and her tense nerves completely relaxed.

Fortunately, Shen Zhexing didn't notice anything strange.

Otherwise he will get angry again.

Although he was very controlling in the past, he never lost his temper with her. He always persuaded her with gentle words, reasoned with her, and analyzed the pros and cons.

He lost his temper with her for the first time since she came to Ruckus Group as an intern.

She didn't like to see him lose his temper.

This will leave her at a loss as to what to do.

After adjusting her mood and making sure that Jian Sichen would not notice anything strange, Ling Wei returned to her position.

Jian Sichen asked seemingly casually: "You seem to have a lot of calls lately?"

Ling Wei smiled coquettishly: "Actually, it's not bad! I don't have many friends. People who call me usually are family members."

"Oh!"

Jian Sichen responded lightly.

My family!

It seems that he is overthinking.

After comforting Shen Zhexing, Ling Wei relaxed and her appetite improved instantly. She picked up a skewer and ate it happily.

Jian Sichen thoughtfully filled her glass with juice.

The two of them were eating and chatting, and the distance seemed to suddenly become much closer.

By the time the two of them had eaten and drank enough, it was already twelve o'clock in the morning.

This food stall is not far from where Ling Wei lives. Jian Sichen suggested, "Are you ready? How about I take you back on foot and eat something while you're there?"

Ling Wei shook her head and refused: "Then don't you have to come and pick up the car alone later? No, it's too dangerous!"

Jian Sichen chuckled.

"I'm a grown man, how can I be in danger! Besides, I've been learning self-defense since I was a child. If I'm not bragging, at least ten people can't get close to me."

Ling Wei's eyes widened in surprise.

"real or fake?"

Is he so powerful?

The two of them walked towards Ling Wei's rental house and said, "I was kidnapped when I was five years old. I almost died that time! My mother almost got into trouble trying to find me! Since then, I have started practicing self-defense skills. . I want to protect myself and can’t let my parents worry about me anymore.”

A five-year-old child was kidnapped.

Almost died?

The surprise on Ling Wei's face was replaced by distress. In order to ease the atmosphere, she deliberately joked: "Oh, it's so powerful! Then if I encounter danger in the future, won't you be able to protect me?"

Jian Sichen didn't think this was anything, and he never took it to heart, so he echoed: "That's right! I'm very skilled, and even the most powerful thug is no match for me."

Ling Wei covered her mouth and smiled.

"Okay, okay, I get it! I know you are great, I believe whatever you say!"

Jian Sichen stared at her little face from top to bottom.

Infected by her emotions, I couldn't help but laugh along with her.

The bright white moonlight shrouded them, casting a long shadow on them, like a pair made in heaven.

Jian Sichen sent Ling Wei to the door and subconsciously reached out to rub her head.

"go to bed early!"

Ling Wei was startled by the sudden intimate behavior.

Before she had time to think about it, Jian Sichen had already urged: "Hurry in! You have to work overtime tonight. You are allowed to sleep a little longer tomorrow, so you can go to the company later."

Ling Wei shook her head: "No! I've already been late once today, and I can't be late again tomorrow! Otherwise, everyone will think that I am a weak connection person. I don't like them saying that I am a connection person."

Although it is indeed a related household.

But she is here to do things down-to-earth.

I'm not lazy either!

So much so that they all thought she was just here to mess around and get paid.

Jian Sichen smiled and obeyed her: "Okay! Whatever you want!"

Ling Wei waved to him: "Then I'm going back to my room! You should go back and rest early! When you get home, send me a message to say you're safe."

"Okay! I'll watch you go in and then leave."

Ling Wei nodded, entered the password, opened the door and went in.

Jian Sichen waited until she entered, closed the door, and looked at her reluctantly before turning around and leaving.

When Ling Wei returned home, Shen Zhexing was no longer around.

It was as if he had never been there, leaving no trace behind.
