She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

I don’t know when Zhou Hanzhi appeared behind me. When our eyes collided, I was in a daze for a moment, but the touch of my fingertips told me that this was not an illusion.

This man actually caught me in action.

My heart was in my throat, and I was about to argue when Zhou Hanzhi frowned, grabbed my hand and said, "Follow me."

Before I could react, I was already dragged into the fire escape by Zhou Hanzhi.

The man looked serious, staring at me straight, and said in a low voice: "Do you think the Zhou family is an amusement park? Go wherever you want!"

It was a reproachful and urgent tone.

I wanted to find an excuse to say a few words, but because I was drunk, my brain seemed to be rusty and slow, and I couldn't find a suitable line.

Seeing my silence, Zhou Hanzhi sighed softly and said, "The security guards at the old house are on duty every 20 minutes. If I am late, the consequences will be..."

He didn't continue speaking, but there seemed to be a hint of relief in his tone.

Wait, there are shifts every twenty minutes. No wonder such an important study room is not locked. It seems that I have taken it lightly.

My back felt slightly cold, and I curled my palms and explained, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I drank too much tonight. I wanted to take a rest and then go downstairs to continue the socializing for my aunt, but my body couldn't take it anymore. As I was walking,... Is there something wrong?"

Zhou Hanzhi's brows furrowed even deeper after hearing this. He glanced at me and said, "You should keep this excuse to fool the security personnel."

"It's not Mr. Zhou, I just went to the wrong room," I said anxiously, "This won't lead to an attack on me, right?"

Zhou Hanzhi glanced at the stairs with a vigilant look and said, "Do you think the security guards will believe this?"

I suddenly choked.

After all, Zhou Hanzhi witnessed me twisting the lock of the study door just now. Once he tells this detail, I will be doomed.

But then I thought about it, if Zhou Hanzhi really wanted to report me, he wouldn't bother dragging me into the aisle, so I tried to ask: "Mr. Zhou, what should I do now?"

Zhou Hanzhi glanced at his watch and responded, "They should have gone upstairs. By the way, they didn't take the elevator, they took the stairs."

I looked at Zhou Hanzhi in astonishment, then turned to look at the stairs, and said anxiously: "Then I'll go upstairs now."

Zhou Hanzhi immediately stopped me, came closer and said, "It's too late."

I looked at the man so close to me, like an ant on a hot pot: "Trouble, Mr. Zhou..."

"But now, there is another way."

Zhou Hanzhi interrupted me, his tone was inexplicably serious, and even his eyes flashed with confusion when he looked at me.

When I was in a hurry, I didn't follow him around the bush and asked: "Mr. Zhou, what should I do..."

Before I could finish my words, Zhou Hanzhi suddenly leaned over, put his hands on my cheeks, and kissed me eagerly.

When the cold lips pressed against mine, I was completely stunned, but at that moment, anger suddenly surged to my heart.

It turns out that the method Zhou Hanzhi mentioned turned out to be this method.

I was angry and annoyed, and tried to push him away with my hands, but it was useless. Zhou Hanzhi looked thin, but the strongness in his bones remained unchanged, and he didn't give me any room to struggle.

Our lips and teeth were intertwined, and I could feel the man's hot breath on my face. I looked at him with wide eyes, but I saw a face full of deep affection.

It is Zhou Hanzhi, but it is not Zhou Hanzhi.

He is the Zhou Hanzhi who held me in his arms and kissed me deeply before falling asleep many nights ago, but he is not the Zhou Hanzhi who is targeting me everywhere now.

In my astonishment, I forgot to resist, but my ears keenly caught the sound of a series of neat steps.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and I knew that it must be the security personnel on duty that Zhou Hanzhi mentioned.

I don't want to cooperate with Zhou Hanzhi in acting, but now, it seems that only by continuing to act in this scene, my two years of dormancy will be meaningful.

It has been two years. I have endured everything I should have endured and should not have endured. I must not fall short tonight.

Thinking of this, reason overcame my annoyance, and when the neat footsteps got closer and closer, I gave up resisting.

In a moment, a scream reached his ears. Zhou Hanzhi suddenly opened his eyes, turned slightly, and said angrily: "Get out!"

The security personnel disappeared in a flash.

After a long time, the corridor returned to calm, so quiet that I seemed to hear my own heartbeat.

The security personnel seemed to have been fooled.

I calmly distanced myself from Zhou Hanzhi and said politely, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, if it weren't for you, I really wouldn't be able to explain myself."

Hearing this, Zhou Hanzhi's expression froze, and he glanced at me and said, "Miss Meng, are you going to explain why you ran from the guest room on the third floor to the second floor for no reason?"

Only then did I realize that from the beginning till now, Zhou Hanzhi had never been fooled by me at all.

I could only continue to pretend to be confused: "Zhou Zhai is so big, and I drank too much, so I walked into the wrong room. Isn't it normal?"

"Did Ms. Meng pretend to be confused on purpose, or she just didn't pay attention at all. The door on the second floor and the door on the third floor are not the same color at all."

I was suddenly choked, avoiding Zhou Hanzhi's gaze and said, "Sorry, I'm drunk. Please forgive me, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Hanzhi didn't respond, so that in the empty fire escape, the only sound of our breathing was once again left.

After a while, the man spoke again: "This is not a Vienna winery, and Miss Meng will not be able to come and go freely. Since Miss Meng is drunk, I'd better send you back to the guest room to rest."

I looked at Zhou Hanzhi in surprise, met the man's bottomless black eyes, and heard him ask: "Why, it's inappropriate?"

I didn't want to get into trouble, so I could only bite the bullet and nodded.

Zhou Hanzhi actually showed his masterly spirit and sent me back to the guest room. Before leaving, he also said, "Since Miss Meng is very drunk, I suggest you take a rest for a while."

After the door was closed, I sat alone on the bed in a daze. Thinking back to Zhou Hanzhi's instructions just now, I couldn't help but fall into chaos.

Zhou Hanzhi seemed to hope that I could rest more in the guest room.

But why did he do this? Was he afraid of arousing other suspicions?

But I have to say that his reminder was right. Just as I appeared on the second floor inexplicably, if I were to rush to remedy the situation at this time, it would only be superfluous.

Instead of doing this, it is better to take a short rest first as Zhou Hanzhi said.

I don’t know how long I had been asleep, but the doorbell pulled me out of my sleep. I opened the door and saw a gentle maid standing at the door, holding two gift boxes in her hand.

"Ms. Meng, these are the clothes that the young master asked me to bring to you. Do you need anything else?"

A change of clothes?

I rubbed my temple and asked, "What time is it now?"

"Go back to Miss Meng, it's nine o'clock in the morning."

After saying this, the maid glanced at my neck with a hint of shyness in her eyes.

Wait, it's nine in the morning, so I stayed at the Zhou family's old house all night?

"I've been feeling groggy all day. It's really uncomfortable to be exposed to the sun. I've been waiting for a long time. See you tomorrow."
