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

The groan sounded fragile and painful, but the important thing was that the other party did not offend or attack me further.

I suddenly realized that the other party didn't want to attack me, but was just playing a little joke on me.

A pair of peach blossom eyes with a mischievous smile instantly popped up in my mind. Only Yuan Tianye could be so naughty and tease me like this. I immediately turned around and said, "Xiao Ye, why are you so naughty? Didn't you say you wouldn't come to see me tonight?"

But when I saw the other person's face clearly, I was stunned for a moment: "Is it you?"

The person standing in front of me was not Yuan Tianye, but Zhou Hanzhi.

He was holding his abdomen at the moment, his face was pale, his thick black eyebrows were tightly furrowed, the corners of his lips trembled slightly, but his dark and deep eyes revealed a sense of hurt and doubt.

I have been thinking about Zhou Hanzhi these two days. I think of him every time I open my eyes or close them. I am worried about his situation and circumstances. But in order to protect him and myself, I didn't even dare to go to the hospital to see him. But I never expected that he would appear in the elevator of my community, right in front of me.

More importantly, I just dealt him a heavy blow.

He was already weak, and after being hit by me, I'm afraid he will be even weaker...

"How are you? Are you hurt?" I was worried and apologetic, and hurriedly supported Zhou Hanzhi's arm. "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you just now, but why didn't you stay in the hospital and come here, and even joke with me like this, I thought I was attacked by some bad guys..."

Zhou Han was the only one in the elevator, and he didn't even bring Zeng Zhi with him. This made people feel even more uneasy. His current physical condition was worrying, and Zhou Pinzhi was eyeing him covetously. How could he dare to run around?

I felt even more depressed, as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in my chest, and every time I breathed in and out I felt sluggish and stuffy.

But before I could finish my words, I was interrupted by Zhou Hanzhi. He squeezed my hand and suddenly looked up, his dark eyes scorching: "Who did you think you were?"

"I thought you were a bad guy and attacked me!" I repeated what I had just said.

His brows furrowed even tighter, with a hint of dissatisfaction on the tip of his eyebrows: "Xiao Ye, you call Yuan Tianye so affectionately, do you have a date tonight?"

"What?" I was stunned and didn't react for a moment. Why did Zhou Hanzhi suddenly mention Yuan Tianye and asked me if Yuan Tianye and I had a date.

Until I recalled what happened just now, the moment I turned around, I really thought that the person who blindfolded me and joked with me was Yuan Tianye, and I called out Ono's name and mentioned the agreement between us.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Hanzhi misunderstood that Yuan Tianye and I were dating.

"No, Xiaoye went out to collect folk songs these days and just came back this afternoon. He said he had good news to tell me, but the timing was not right, so we agreed to talk about it tomorrow. It was just an appointment to meet, not a date." I immediately explained, "Just now I thought he was waiting for me here and joking with me, but I didn't expect it to be..."

When I said this, I suddenly stopped talking, and an indescribable feeling surged in my heart.

Strange, am I explaining this to Zhou Hanzhi?

But why should I explain this to him?

Whether I have a close relationship with Yuan Tianye or whether we are dating, what does it have to do with Zhou Hanzhi?

He is not my boyfriend, so there is no need for me to explain this to him, and he has no right to mind me being with someone else.

But before I could think this through, Zhou Hanzhi suddenly lowered his head, and I felt someone holding the back of my head, and then, I was pressed into a domineering and deep kiss.

The moment he lowered his head, I saw the happy smile in his eyes and at the corners of his lips, and heard his compliment with a smile: "Good boy Xuxu, your husband knows now that you two are not dating."

My mind, which had just cleared up, was confused again by this sudden kiss and the familiar fresh breath. I passively and numbly accepted everything, but I couldn't tell whether this kiss was an offense or an expectation to me.

I also can't tell whether my feelings towards Zhou Hanzhi are resistance or desire.

All I know is that these past two days, whether I was awake or in a dream, I would unconsciously think of Zhou Hanzhi. I wanted to see him, and when I thought of him, I felt heavy and painful in my heart.

I can't help but pray for him, pray that he is safe and pray that he recovers soon.

But I couldn't continue to tangle with him. His attitude was always ambiguous. He pushed me away but then chased me to entangle with me. We clearly agreed that we were just work colleagues, but he grabbed me again and again, kissed me forcefully, and had physical contact with me.

What we are doing is not a work relationship at all, but a lover's relationship, but I can't continue to be confused.

I woke up instantly, all the confusion disappeared, I pushed Zhou Hanzhi away with all my strength, my breathing and tone were unstable: "Boss Zhou, don't be like this, we..."

"Hiss." Zhou Hanzhi covered his chest with his hands in pain and took a breath.

I suddenly realized that Zhou Hanzhi was already weak, and I had previously hit him hard in the chest. When I pushed him away just now, my palm happened to press on the injured part. No wonder he was in so much pain.

My heart, which was as hard as iron and I had to keep a distance from this man just now, softened instantly. I nervously held him and reached out to press the elevator button: "I'm sorry, I was too careless. Did I hurt you? You have to go to the hospital now. I'll help you out first."

Zhou Hanzhi let me do whatever I wanted, and I helped him out of the elevator and into the underground parking lot.

However, when I called Zeng Zhi, he gently held my hand and whispered, "Zeng Zhi didn't come with me. He stayed in the hospital to help me with the empty city plan. I sneaked out alone and took a taxi."

"Zeng Zhi is in the hospital?" I reacted quickly.

Zhou Hanzhi asked Zeng Zhi to stay in the hospital in order to create the illusion for the Zhou family that he had been staying in the hospital all the time.

But why did he take such a big risk and run away regardless of his physical condition?

Is it just to see me?

"Yes." Zhou Hanzhi seemed to have guessed the doubts in my heart, smiled slightly, and gave me an affirmative answer.

His smile was shallow, but gradually revealed a hint of doting: "I was afraid that someone would worry about me and couldn't sleep, so I ran out to see her. In the end, not only did I get elbowed, but I was also pushed away coldly and ruthlessly..."

"Stop talking." I couldn't look directly into his smiling eyes, so I lowered my head hastily to avoid him, while supporting him and walking towards my car. "I'll take you back to the hospital."

I've never seen him act so crazy. He would take such a big risk just to see me.

Zhou Hanzhi is different from the calm and steady Zhou Hanzhi I knew before.
