"Vice President Rong, do you want to have a meal with Mr. Gu of the Gu family today?"
When the assistant asked softly, Rong Yan was sorting out the information.
She paused for half a second and raised her eyes: "What time is it?"
"At 7 p.m., the venue is Lanting Clubhouse."
Rong Yan hooked the corners of her lips slightly, nodded and said, "I'll go."
She knows that Gu Yanzhi, Gu Shi, has always been interested in her.
Since Chi Jingyuan wants to play the game of emotional pulling--
Then she won't tie her hands and feet anymore.
It's not that she can't flirt, but she doesn't want to.
And tonight, she will let Chi Jingyuan understand:
He is not her only choice.
—
At nightfall, Lanting Clubhouse.
Rong Yan wore a dark green satin dress, and her waist was just right, outlining her exquisite curves.
Gu Yanzhi waited in the private room early. When he saw her appear, his eyes almost lit up.
"Miss Rong is really... eye-catching today."
"I'm very rewarded by Mr. Gu." She smiled without saying a word and behaved decently, but she was not alienated.
The two of them staggered and talked and laughed happily.
It was not until the three rounds of drinking that the door was suddenly pushed open.
A fierce and cold breath came to my face.
Chi Jingyuan, here we come.
His suit was straight and his aura was pressive. Standing at the door, his eyes swept at Gu Yanzhi's hand holding Rong Yan like an ice blade.
Gu Yanzhi was a little embarrassed: "How can Mr. Chi be free--"
"She's my wife. I have to come and see her when I'm free."
After saying that, Chi Jingyuan came straight and pulled Rong Yan up from the sofa.
"Let's go home."
"Chi Jingyuan, why are you crazy?!" Rong Yan struggled.
"You dressed like this to accompany a man for a drink. Why are you asking me crazy?"
"I'm here to talk about cooperation, not to accompany the drink!" She said angrily.
Chi Jingyuan's eyes were gloomy, staring at her collarbone. The red marks there had not disappeared, which were left by him last night.
"You are Mrs. Chi, not a pawn for talking about feelings."
He pulled her out of the private room, and Rong Yan laughed angrily: "Is Mr. Chi jealous?"
The man paused, and his voice was a little colder:
"You are my man, and I don't allow anyone to touch you."
"What about you?" She asked, "How about you? What do you think of me after you touch me? Revenge tool? The object of venting?"
Chi Jingyuan was silent.
This time, he was no longer tough. He just pressed her tightly in his arms and said in a low voice: "No...not like that."
She froze all over.
He continued, "I admit that it was originally a revenge... But then, I don't know what happened."
"I started... I don't want you to talk to other men, and I don't want to see you laughing at others."
"I don't want you to leave me."
Rong Yan's eyes were sour, and she couldn't help but turn away: "Chi Jingyuan, it's too late for you to regret."
"I can compensate you."
"I don't want your compensation."
"Then I want you."
—
That night, Chi Jingyuan sent her home, but did not enter the door.
It's raining heavily.
She thought he would leave, but he didn't sleep all night. When he went out in the morning, he was still standing outside the door, covered with rain and his face was pale.
She was moved.
But she told herself that she couldn't be soft-hearted.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
Rong Yan stood in front of the window and looked at the figure downstairs who had been standing all night, with mixed feelings in her heart.
She thought that a person like Chi Jingyuan would not wrong herself for a woman.
But he actually stood all night without an umbrella, without leaving, and did not move, like a statue waiting for forgiveness.
Until dawn, she couldn't help opening the door and throwing the umbrella down.
"Chi Jingyuan, if you catch a cold, don't rely on me."
The man took the umbrella and looked up at her.
"You are finally willing to take care of me."
She closed the door, but her heart seemed to be pulled.
—
That night, she had a fever.
I didn't expect that rainy night was not because he had a cold, but because she couldn't stand it.
The high fever made her unconscious. It was the servant who contacted Chi Jingyuan.
When the man arrived, she was nestled in bed, her face was pale, her eyelashes were wet and drooping, like a small animal struggling in a nightmare.
"Yanyan."
He called her name for the first time with a trace of trembling.
She opened her eyes in a daze: "You... go away..."
"You have a fever of thirty-nine degrees."
He held her in his arms and cooled her down with a cold towel. He didn't close her eyes all night.
He held her hand tightly, as if he was resisting her vulnerability that could collapse at any time.
"I shouldn't make you angry, let alone use you to take revenge." His voice was low as if he was blaming himself, "I know I'm wrong, Yanyan, don't ignore me, okay?"
—
After this night, Rong Yan's attitude did not soften immediately.
But she didn't drive him away again.
She was moved, but she was still hesitating.
This relationship begins with "control".
She is afraid that once she compromises, she will become a controlled "property" again.
But Chi Jingyuan seems to be a new person.
He is no longer tough, but begins to pave the way with "compensation"--
—
At the company meeting, Rong's sudden acquisition of a competitor.
She knew that the company had maliciously suppressed the price and almost ruined the last project of the Rong family.
But now, it has been quietly bought and sold some resources to Rong's at cost price.
She asked the finance department, "Who operated it?"
The finance department whispered, "It was arranged by Mr. Chi himself."
Her heart beat.
—
As soon as she returned to the apartment at night, she saw a brand-new convertible sports car parked at the door.
The car window was pressed down, and a familiar handsome face poked out: "Are you off work? Do you like the new car?"
She frowned and said, "What are you buying a car for?"
"Your old car is not safe." He came down and opened the car door for her. "Mrs. Chi, you deserve better."
"Chi Jingyuan, do you think giving something can soften my heart?"
He looked down at her and whispered seriously, "I'm not giving you a gift, I'm chasing you."
She was stunned.
This sentence is too unlike him.
Chi Jingyuan, the man who once tied her up with contract and power, now says that he is **"chasing her"**?
"I'm chasing you, Yanyan." He looked into her eyes and repeated in a low voice, "From now on, I'm not your boss or your creditor. I just want to be your man again."
—
She finally asked, "Why did you suddenly change?"
"Because the moment you left, I knew that I could lose everything - except you."
"Bot I don't believe you anymore." She said, "From the beginning, you approached me with a purpose, using deception and means."
Chi Jingyuan's throat knot moved slightly: "I know... But can you give me a chance? I will compensate you with the rest of my life."
She looked at him and her eyes flickered for a few seconds.
"If one day, I really leave, what will happen to you?"
The man's eyes sank, as if he was hurt by her question.
For a long time, his voice was as hoarse as the broken night:
"I will destroy the world and come to you."
"Even if you hide in hell, I will come down to pick you up."
Rong Yan was stunned.
She has never seen such a Chi Jingyuan.
No longer cold, no longer proud, only... crazy and persistent deep affection.
—
That night, she slept in the new room he sent.
The stars were shining outside the window, but he only said softly in the room:
"Yanyan, I won't force you... but I won't let go."
He loves her and is willing to give up everything for her.
Rong Yan's mother was seriously ill, and her condition suddenly worsened.
She rushed to the hospital anxiously, but was told that the patient had been transferred to the VIP intensive care unit, and there was also a group of medical experts from abroad for consultation.
She couldn't believe that when she rushed into the ward, she saw a team of top doctors in white robes and foreign languages.
"Are you a family member of Ms. Rong? Don't worry, we are invited by Mr. Chi.
She turned her head in shock.
Chi Jingyuan stood in the corridor, his suit was untied, and his eyes were gentle.
She ran over: "How did you know?"
"I checked your mother's medical records." He looked at her in a soft voice, "You won't say anything to me, but I won't allow you to bear it alone."
At that moment, her heart softened.
It can no longer be denied that he is really changing.
—
That night, she cooked a meal for him.
When she was wearing an apron and standing in the kitchen, Chi Jingyuan leaned against the door, as if looking at a rare treasure.
"What are you laughing at?" She pretended to be calm.
"The first time I saw you wearing an apron, I was more surprised than the company's year-end report."
She gave him a blank look: "Young poor mouth."
When the food was served, he ate it very carefully. Every time he chewed it, his eyes were gentle.
Somewhere in her heart quietly relaxed - maybe he was really chasing her seriously.
—
But that kind of tenderness can't be maintained for the next day.
She attended an industry reception and met Gu Yanzhi of Gu's Group head-on.
The other party raised his glass to show his goodwill: "Do you remember the night at the Lanting Clubhouse? I still can't forget it."
Before the words were over, there was a cold scolding from behind.
"Unforgettable? Then I'll complete it and you'll forget it."
Rong Yan was shocked and looked back--
Chi Jingyuan's face was gloomy, and he directly swept the wine glass to the ground, with his eyes as if he was going to kill.
Gu Yanzhi's face was embarrassed: "General Chi, you are too--"
"From today on, all projects under Chi refuse to cooperate with Gu."
As soon as this was said, there was an uproar in the audience.
Rong Yan trembled with anger: "Chi Jingyuan, why do you interfere with my communication?"
"I'm not interfering, I'm preventing others from coavening you."
"So you haven't coveted me before?"
The man was stunned and whispered for a long time, "Yes, I covet not only your body, but also your heart."
"Bot I'm afraid." She finally said something that she had been holding back for a long time, "You are too strong. I can't afford to lose."
Chi Jingyuan looked at her with pain in his eyes.
"So are you willing to... let me lose once?"
"From today on, it's not you who will be my wife, but I will be Rong Yan's man."
—
That night, she dreamed of the madness of the rainy night.
In the dream, he knelt in front of her, wet all over, as if giving up everything and begging her to stay.
She woke up. It was not dawn, and there was an extra transfer message on her mobile phone.
Transfer amount: 1 yuan
Remarks: Chi's life will be transferred to you.
Rong Yan's eyes were red, her fingertips covered her lips, and tears came out of her eyes.
After all, he walked into her heart.
This time, she was afraid of herself and really couldn't escape.
