"Ah?" Su Zhiruan took the note, looked at the string of numbers and
the address written on it, and was a little confused. Then he raised his head
and asked, "The password of the villa gate...what do you want for
me?"
"To prevent something like today
from happening again," Lu Peijing had been patient for the whole day. Now
when he saw Su Zhiruan, he was already distracted and his hands began to get
naughty. He pulled her into his arms, and the color of his eyes gradually
became darker. He explained in a low and hoarse voice close to her ear:
"You live in the staff dormitory in the hotel. You might be seen if you
come up to see me. This apartment was bought a long time ago. I have asked
someone to pack it up. Why don't you move in?"
Su Zhiruan folded the note and put it in
his pocket. The next second, his coat was taken off and placed on the sofa.
She thought about it and realized that
it was indeed inconvenient in the staff dormitory. Many colleagues were
gossiping about Lu Peijing's private life. If they knew that she stayed out all
night every day and came down from the 28th floor in the morning, there would
definitely be a lot of rumors.
Anyway, she has to be with Lu Peijing at
night, and she can't ask him to condescend to move to the ordinary two-bedroom
apartment she rents. After thinking about it, moving to his villa is indeed a
good choice.
She was about to answer when she
suddenly realized that all her clothes were gone. Then she saw that the clothes
she wore today were thrown onto the single sofa on the other side like a
parabola.
Their current position was overlapping
and facing each other on the longest sofa.
Su Zhiruan: "…"
The sofa again.
It's this place again.
"Don't you like the sofa?" Lu
Peijing saw her expression. She had a helpless look, and he could actually see
compromise, relief, and habit in it. He took a bite.
"Not really..." Su Zhiruan
patted the sofa, "It just suddenly occurred to me that we seem to have
been on the sofa every time..."
Lu Peijing was a studious and receptive
person in this regard. He held Su Zhiruan in his arms and quickly moved to a
new place - the floor-to-ceiling window!
So, that night, all Su Zhiruan saw were
colorful neon lights amid the hustle and bustle of traffic. In the end, she
kept shaking and felt as if a rainbow appeared before her eyes.
My body is sleepy, but I have to stay
awake because of the movement.
Lu Peijing had a bit of humanity and
held her from behind, which managed to prevent her from hitting her head
against the glass and fainting.
Another night of nonsense.

The next day, when Su Zhiruan woke up, the man had already left. He still left
breakfast for her. After she had a simple meal, she went back to work.
When she went downstairs to clean,
Sister Zhang waved happily when she saw her, "Ruan Ruan girl! You're
here!"
"Good morning, Sister Zhang."
Su Zhiruan greeted.
"Cheng Zhao will be here in a few
days. Why don't we go out for dinner? I'll treat you!" Sister Zhang still
wanted to bring Su Zhiruan and her son Ji Cheng Zhao together. She came over
with a smile and said, "Cheng Zhao has received a scholarship recently.
It's a good opportunity for you two to get to know each other. Add each other's
contact information, and then you young people can go out and have fun
together, watch a movie or something."
"Sister Zhang, I don't have any
plans to find a boyfriend for the time being, so you guys just go and have
fun." Su Zhiruan was a little helpless. She didn't know why Sister Zhang
had decided on her. Every time they met, she would try to match her up with her
son Ji Chengzhao.
"Hey Ruan Ruan girl, let me tell
you——"
Sister Zhang wanted to say something,
but suddenly saw someone walking hurriedly around the corner. It was the
hotel's lobby manager, so she quickly pretended to work seriously.
Unexpectedly, the lobby manager walked
towards her directly, his steps even anxiously, "Sister Zhang, come here
for a moment."
"Me?" Sister Zhang put down
the broom, pointed at herself, and walked over. "Manager, what do you want
to see me for?"
After she walked over, the manager
opened the personnel statistics form in his hand and told her, "The
superiors sent me a notice asking me to change your position."
"Ah?!" Sister Zhang was
immediately shocked. "Are you going to fire me?! Manager, I have elderly
parents and young children to support at home, and I still rely on this money
to live."
The manager was actually quite confused.
He hadn't even gotten up this morning when he saw an email from the secretary
of Mr. Lu, the most powerful person in the hotel. At that moment, he even
thought of several terrible possibilities.
But when he opened it, he was shocked.
They just asked the waitress, Ms. Zhang, to work in another place and gave her
another position.
The manager read the email ten times but
still couldn't understand what it meant. If Zhang Jie had offended Mr. Lu, her
boss, he could just fire her. But if she hadn't offended him, what did it mean
to just change her position?
He didn't quite understand, so he transferred Zhang Jie to the kitchen.
"I don't know which boss it was who
transferred me to the kitchen. Bye everyone."
Sister Zhang went back to collect the
tools, said goodbye to everyone, and finally looked at Su Zhiruan reluctantly
before leaving.
Su Zhiruan smiled and politely waved
goodbye, feeling relieved. Although she didn't know why Sister Zhang was
suddenly transferred away, she thought that if this happened, she wouldn't try
to find a boyfriend for her anymore...
Not bad.
At this time, the secretary beside Lu
Peijing finally breathed a sigh of relief and quietly left from another
corridor.
These people don't know that since he
follows President Lu, he naturally knows best why he does this, and of course
it is for Su Zhiruan.
Although it was just a contract, there
was a relationship after all. President Lu heard that Sister Zhang always
wanted to match her son with Su Zhiruan. Even though he had no feelings for
her, he couldn't bear to see his woman being introduced to other men.
The secretary left quietly, preparing to
go back and tell Lu Peijing.
*
Su Zhiruan worked hard during the day, and it was not her shift at night, so
she planned to pack up some things and move to Lu Peijing's villa.
According to the address on the note,
she found that it was not far from the hotel.
The Lu family's hotel is located in the
best area in Beijing.
It is adjacent to the commercial
district but not too noisy, and has the highest number of floors, a full 100.
The higher you go, the more you can overlook the entire Beijing.
Behind the hotel is the luxurious villa
area nestled between the mountains and the water - Fujin Waterside.
The villas here are where the rich and
powerful in Beijing live, and some of them are the kind that you can't even buy
if you have money.
She carried a small suitcase and walked
straight into the villa area, then determined the house number of a villa
nearby.
It was already half past eight in the
evening and night had completely fallen. After she unlocked the door with the
password, it opened. After she walked in, she saw Lu Peijing reading a book in
the living room.
Unlike Mr. Lu who is usually serious and
cold, so cold that people can't look him in the face, Lu Peijing, who is
reading a book under the warm yellow light, is wearing casual home clothes.
He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist
and long legs, and was dressed in a homely style that was different from his
usual black suit. Although he still had no expression, his entire outline
looked softer.
"What are you standing there for?
Come in." Lu Peijing put down the book and raised his chin to signal her
to go in.
