When du Anran was reading in bed at night, she did not expect that the news of her meeting Xie Chenjin during the day would spread like wildfire. She had long left the upper circle, and she did not want to return to that circle.
It was a circle where money, face, and family power were all at stake. There was no need for her to return to that circle.
In the past, when she was the heiress of Shihe, many people were eager to be friends with her. She had always been good to people, but when Shihe went bankrupt, especially when he owed countless debts, no one was willing to help her.
The upper circle was filled with endless indulgences, but they were also cold-hearted.
Because she was worried about Jin Shaonan, she gave him a call. This time, his cell phone was not switched off.
"Shaonan, are you asleep? " Du Anran asked with concern.
"Not yet. Finish the work on hand ahead of time. I have to go to London again in a few days. " Jin Shaonan read his manuscript under the table lamp.
"GOING TO LONDON AGAIN? Don't be too tired. You can leave these tasks to your subordinates. Yes, you can leave it to Liu Wanwan. She has nothing to do. " Du Anran smiled.
"It's better if I do it myself. Why aren't you asleep? " Jin Shaonan looked at his watch. It was already eleven o'clock.
"I'm not working tomorrow... " Du Anran lay on the bed and hugged her lying bear. "really, Shaonan, don't stay up late. Staying up late is not good for your health. There's no need to work so hard. "
"If I don't work harder, what will happen to the performance of the newspaper? " Jin Shaonan smiled.
"Let it be. You don't need it for a living... "
"Then there are so many employees of the news agency who are still hoping for a raise! " Jin Shaonan still smiled.
"Workaholic... I can't explain it to you... " Du Anran felt that she was a person who was content with the situation, while Jin Shaonan was a person who would not change once he set his mind on it ...
"You rest early, I'll sleep later. Staying up late is not good for your skin. "
"Then I won't continue chatting with you. Hurry up and finish your work. Sweet Dreams. "
"Good night. "
On the phone, Du Anran felt that Jin Shaonan's mood had recovered. At least he was not as gloomy as he was during the day. Although she still did not know why Jin Shaonan would go to the beach alone to sit quietly, since he was unwilling to say it, she would not force him.
He was very good to her. She also hoped that he could live a good life. She hoped that everyone around her could be happy and happy.
When Xin zimo returned from s city, it was already evening the next day. The Sky gradually darkened and the clouds in the sky were dyed red by the sunset glow. They floated in the sky, looking exceptionally gorgeous.
After he made a trip to the Xin family, he returned to the villa on Huxin island. There were only a few servants in the villa, and the surroundings were also deserted.
Chi Xue called him and asked him where he was as usual, but he would always forget about it. Only a few people knew about the existence of this villa. This was the only place he wanted to go. He did not want too many people to disturb him.
"Hello, Mr. Xin. " A few servants saw that Xin Zimo had returned and quickly bowed to greet him.
Xin Zimo took off his suit and handed it to them. He Sat on the Sofa and called Du Anran.
"where are you? " He did not have much expression on his face, but Aqin and the others still realized that something was wrong and immediately left the living room.
"Are you back? Of course I'm home. " Du anran happened to be cooking. Her mother had gone out, so she had to do it herself.
"Come to the villa now. I'll wait for you. " Xin Zimo did not allow himself to refuse and hung up the phone.
His gaze was straight ahead, and there was an indescribable depth. There was an endless silence in his eyes, like the bottomless pool.
"WAIT FOR ME TO FINISH EATING! " Du Anran shouted a few words, but it was too late. He had already hung up the phone.
He was always used to hanging up on her. Sometimes, he would not let her finish a sentence. This kind of overbearing nature in her bones would probably never change. Then, she could only get used to it more.
However, since he hung up the phone first, she cooked the meal and ate the dinner before going over.
She had just learned a sweet and sour ridges from the recipe that day. It looked good, so du Anran tried it. Although it did not look good, the taste was really good. Du Anran felt that if she continued to work hard, it would not be long before she could cook a good dish.
By then, she would be able to beat Xin Zimo and make him laugh at her.
Du Anran was very happy to learn. After she finished cooking the sweet and Sour Ridges, she cooked a few side dishes. She was still waiting for her mother to come back and praise her.
However, considering that Xin Zimo had just returned from s city and probably had not eaten, she packed a few dishes and brought them to him.
When everything was ready, she took the food out of the DU residence while it was still hot.
The Sky was already dark, and winter nights always came early. The wind outside was a little strong. Du Anran waved her hand, and it was not easy to wait for a taxi.
The road was brightly lit, and cars came and went. When they arrived at the villa on Huxin Island, the night scenery was even more beautiful, and the scenery was unique.
The Fountain was actually open, and the sound of water trickling into one's ears. Under the illumination of the colorful lights around the fountain, there was a dreamy beauty.
The entire villa looked like a palace under the exquisite Lotus Street lamps.
Du Anran felt that this beast, Xin Zimo, was not just an ordinary luxury. He was living like a jade lake in the sky. Compared to him, she felt that all those years of living had been in vain.
The life of a rich person was indeed willful.
Stepping over the wooden bridge and walking towards the villa, she happened to see Alu sweeping the floor outside. When Alu saw her, she immediately bent down to greet her. "Hello, Miss Du. "
Du Anran looked inside a few times and asked Alu softly, "is Mr. Xin Inside? "
"Yes, Mr. Xin has been back for quite a while, " Alu replied.
"Has he eaten dinner yet? " Du Anran asked.
"No, ah Qin went to ask what he was doing at night. Mr. Xin didn't say anything, and AH QIN didn't dare to ask. " Alu was young, and when she spoke, she was a little shy.
"It's nothing, you guys go ahead. I brought dinner for him! " Du Anran waved the lunchbox in her hand.
"Miss Du is so considerate. " Alu smiled.
Du Anran smiled back at her, pushed the door open and walked into the villa.
The moment she entered, there was a burst of heat. There was a huge difference between inside and outside. It was freezing outside, but inside, it was as warm as spring. Du Anran, who was wearing an overcoat, suddenly felt a little hot.
She walked to the door and changed into a pair of shoes. Then, she stepped on the carpet and walked into the living room.
As expected, the moment she entered the living room, she saw Xin Zimo sitting on the Sofa wearing a black shirt. He sat there without any expression, as if he was just waiting for her.
When he saw that she had arrived, he only slightly raised his eyes. He was not as enthusiastic as Du Anran had expected.
However, when she remembered that he was always unpredictable, she let it go. At first, she did not understand, but now she was more and more used to it.
"It must have been hard on the way! " Du Anran said as she placed the lunchbox on the table.
"It was all unworthy of the hard work. " Xin Zimo looked at her and said plainly, his gaze never leaving her face.
"How could it be? There will always be a return for the hard work. You haven't had dinner yet, right? I made a few dishes. I just learned them. I know you have a sharp tongue, so I'll let you have a taste first. I only feel good after you say yes. " She did not understand things like securities trading Naturally, she did not understand what he meant.
She opened the lunchbox. Fortunately, the dishes were still warm and steaming. When she opened it, the living room was immediately filled with fragrance.
Du Anran was very satisfied with the dishes she made tonight. At least she had some feelings for the color, aroma, and smell. It would definitely not be bad if she studied more in the future.
Xin zimo smelled the fragrance of the dishes, but his brows furrowed.
With a "PA" sound, he threw a very thick envelope in front of her.
Du Anran was shocked. She looked at him in confusion, but she still smiled. "What's wrong? What's this? "
"Open IT YOURSELF! " Xin Zimo said coldly. His face was like the weather outside.
Du Anran did not like Xin Zimo like this. She did not like him very much. He made her feel insecure, and she was an extremely sensitive person.
"Let's eat first. The food will be cold later. " Du Anran handed one of the boxes to Xin Zimo and kept one for herself.
Xin Zimo had been restraining himself, but he still could not control himself. He raised his hand and the box fell to the ground, spilling all over the floor.
"CLANG! " It was very deep, but du Anran's heart still sank.
She bit her lip, looked at him with red eyes, and reached out to take the envelope he threw. The seal was open, and inside was a large stack of photos.
She opened them one by one. These photos were all taken at the golf course yesterday, and the focus was on her and Xie Chenjin. The more she looked down, the more her heart sank. Who took these photos? They were obviously taken with ill intentions.
Her hands trembled slightly. She bit her lips and patiently looked through the entire stack of photos.
Yesterday, she did not pay attention to Xie Chenjin. Today, when she looked at the photos, she realized that his gaze had been fixed on her face. Sometimes it was teasing, sometimes it was affectionate. Several times, Xie Chenjin stood behind her and silently watched her.
She knew why he was in a bad mood. Yesterday morning, when he left, he was clearly still smiling. But didn't he say that he would believe her no matter what? How could he not listen to her explanation today.
She put the photo back into the envelope and looked into his eyes. "What do you want to say? "
He let out a cold laugh from his throat and met her gaze. "I should be the one asking you this. "
When he was in London, Sun Ping had vaguely told him that Du Anran and Xie Chenjin had a relationship. At that time, he chose not to believe it, but he was still afraid of losing her. He hugged her several times after getting drunk He was really afraid that she would leave him like that... ...
On the night before he left London, Guo Zi also hinted to him that Du Anran might not be wholeheartedly devoted to him, but he still chose not to believe it.
It was not until after he returned to the country, when Sun Ping threw a bunch of photos to him, and he used du Anran's phone to call Xie Chenjin, that he realized that he had no choice but to believe it.
Even so, he still chose to tolerate it. Even if she teamed up with Xie Chenjin to destroy the Xin Corporation, even if she was really up to something, he could forgive her. He only wanted her to love him.
But now, what did this stack of photos show? Did she really love him that much?
