When the opera ended, it was almost eleven o'clock. Three hours of opera would not make people feel tired.
Not only did Ye Zhen not feel tired, but he was also full of energy. Coming out of the theater, the night wind blew, and her expression relaxed a lot.
She looked at Li Junsheng, who was only wearing a shirt, and wanted to return his clothes to him, but he pressed her shoulder and didn't let her take them off.
"Just put it on."
"But —"
"Don't catch a cold."
Ye Zhen didn't refuse again. She wore Li Junsheng's clothes and felt surrounded by his aura, as if she was being hugged by him.
That feeling was surprisingly not bad.
Because of the performance, there were many cars in the theater parking lot today. Li Junsheng asked the driver to drive the car to the other side. They still had to walk there.
The night breeze was gentle, and the two of them walked side by side on the road. Their outstanding appearances attracted many people's attention even in the dark of the night.
Ye Zhen was a little embarrassed. She leaned towards Li Junsheng.
"Thank you for today. I haven't seen an opera in a long time."
"You're welcome. The tickets were given by my subordinates anyway. If there's another chance like this, I'll invite you again. "
Li Junsheng said it casually. He didn't mention that he had specially found someone to buy two tickets at a high price because he wanted to ask her out.
"Sure." Ye Zhen nodded. "Tonight's performance was really good. The lead actor's voice was nice, and his performance was also good."
"Yes. Not bad indeed. "
As the two of them chatted about the opera, Ye Zhen suddenly thought of something else.
"By the way, Uncle Li, since you like watching operas, do you like watching movies?"
"I do." Li Junsheng nodded. "However, I'm usually too busy with work, so I don't have much time."
"Then, if there's a good movie next time, I'll ask you out."
Ye Zhen didn't even think about it before she realized that she was taking the initiative to ask him out on a date, right?
"Alright."
Li Junsheng answered so quickly that Ye Zhen blushed.
Just then, the chauffeur drove the car over. She quickly got in the car and took this opportunity to escape from the question she had just asked.
She did not take the initiative to ask him out, absolutely not.
Sitting in the car and looking at the dark night outside, Ye Zhen felt a little conflicted. Li Junsheng wouldn't misunderstand, right?
It was a long distance from the theater to the Ye family.
Ye Zhen actually had a house in the city, but she didn't want to live there. She would rather spend more time on the road every day. She would rather live in the villa every day and be in the way of Chen Wan and Ye Ninghan's eyes than take the initiative to move away and let the mother and daughter be proud.
Sensing that the person beside him seemed to be distracted again, Li Junsheng pinched her palm.
Ye Zhen tried to pull her hand back. Her hand was not a toy. Why did he always like to pinch her hand?
Her hands were not good-looking. Compared to her appearance, her hands were meaty. Although her fingers were slender, they were fatter than the average girl's. It felt meaty when pinched.
Li Junsheng stopped her. He pinched her palm and opened it to look at the lines on her palm.
"Don't move. I'll read your palm."
Pu. Ye Zhen almost choked on his own saliva. Li Junsheng, help her read her palm?
"Uncle Li, aren't you all atheists? You know how to read palms? "
"Yes." Li Junsheng nodded with a serious expression. Ye Zhen didn't believe him. His fingers brushed across her palm. She felt itchy. Other than the itch, there was an electric current flowing from her palm to her heart.
She swallowed her saliva and suddenly felt a little difficult to breathe.
Li Junsheng didn't seem to notice her abnormality. His fingertips brushed across her lifeline.
"Your lifeline is very long. Although there are some small forks in the front, I can see that you will have a very rich and long life."
Ye Zhen saw that he was serious and didn't believe him. Instead, it felt like he was a scammer.
"Your career line is also not bad. You will have great achievements in the future. "
Hehe. Bullsh * t, right?
"Your love line –" Li Junsheng paused and looked up at Ye Zhen. Ye Zhen was a little nervous under his gaze.
"Your love line has always been to the end without any forks. This means that you will only fall in love once in your life, and then you can grow old together."
Is this for real? Ye Zhen pulled her hand back and looked at it for a long time, but she couldn't see anything.
"Uncle Li, you're lying to me, right?"
"No. I'm serious. "
"Heh." Ye Zhen didn't believe him.
"You don't believe me?" Li Junsheng's body leaned in her direction. His breath brushed against her face. Ye Zhen was inexplicably nervous and swallowed her saliva.
"Hehe. Uncle Li. I don't think feudal superstition is advocated nowadays, right? "
"So?" Li Junsheng stared at the red lips that were inches away from him. His gaze deepened.
"So I really don't believe what you said." The atmosphere in front of her was a little strange. Ye Zhen pulled her hand back and smiled a little awkwardly.
"Since you don't believe me, then I naturally have to let you believe me."
Li Junsheng's voice disappeared into her lips. She widened her eyes as she stared at the enlarged face in front of her. For a moment, she felt something flash through her mind, but it was quickly messed up by his kiss.
His hand covered her eyes. She had no choice but to close her eyes, but her senses were even sharper.
His breath, his lips, his temperature, and his kiss.
The moment she felt weak and could only lean into his arms, he released his hand from her eyes and looked down at her blushing face. His voice was a little hoarse.
"Now, do you believe me?"
Ye Zhen blinked. He didn't quite understand what her believing him had to do with him kissing her.
"You still don't believe me?"
He looked at her misty eyes, which were filled with mist. He could feel the blood in his body rushing to a certain part of his body.
His throat tightened. He lowered his head and kissed her again.
"Then I'll have to let you believe me a little more."
..
Ye Zhen entered the door almost at the same time. Ye Nanshan, Ye Ninghan, and the others were sitting in the living room. She acted as if she didn't see them.
She walked past them and went upstairs. Her footsteps were a little fast. After entering the door, she quickly threw her body onto the bed. She slowly let her body recover.
Li Junsheng's breath seemed to still be lingering on the tip of her nose, and his kiss was on her lips.
Her hand touched it, but she retracted it as if she had been electrocuted.
Uncle Li, what did he mean? Why did he kiss her?
Her face was a little hot. She turned around and buried her face in the pillow. Her phone rang at this moment. It was Ling Xuan.
"Hello. Ah Xuan. "
"Tsk. What's wrong with your voice? " Ling Xuan could tell that something was wrong just by listening to her voice. "Are you in the bed of some handsome guy?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Zhen sat up, but her voice was still a little hoarse.
If Ling Xuan was in front of her, she would definitely notice that something was wrong with her.
"Is it nonsense?" Ling Xuan snorted. "Alright. I don't care which handsome guy you're in the bed of. I want to tell you that there was a problem with the hotel's surveillance last time. Can't you get it out? I used the excuse that I lost something and insisted on checking it. The other party had no choice but to give me the original information, but they said that the data had been erased. Whether it could be recovered or not was none of their business. "
Ye Zhen restrained her expression and suddenly became serious. "Do you mean that the surveillance footage can still be recovered?"
"Of course, who do you think I am?"
Ling Xuan's voice was a little smug, and she changed the topic. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I found a computer expert. The other party can recover the destroyed information, but it will take some time. I'm calling you to tell you about this just to let you know. This is also a progress. Wait a few days. When the data is recovered, you will know who was that night. "
"Okay. Thank you. "
"You're welcome." Ling Xuan snorted, and then seemed to think of something. "By the way, what are you going to do after you catch that person?"
"I'll see. In short … "Ye Jinghan definitely set her up, but there was a problem in the middle. She didn't succeed with the prostitute, but she didn't know where the wild man came from.
Ye Zhen couldn't rest assured if she didn't find this man. She didn't want to see photos or videos that she didn't want to see on the Internet one day when she was unaware.
"Okay, I will try my best to help you find this guy."
After Ling Xuan finished speaking, she was about to hang up. Ye Zhen suddenly called out to her.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else? "
"Ah Xuan, if a man asks you to pretend to be his girlfriend but gets close to you from time to time, is this man serious, or is he just acting?"
"Someone wants you to pretend to be his girlfriend?"
"It's not me," Ye Zhen answered quickly. "A colleague in my company encountered such a problem. She asked me for help. "
"Is this woman stupid? That man is obviously trying to get close to her on purpose. He's afraid that the woman won't agree, so he asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend. In fact, he has ulterior motives. "
"Is that so?" Ye Zhen had a hunch in her heart. "You don't know, but their family backgrounds are very different. I, the female colleague, think that with the other party's qualifications, he can have any woman he wants. There's no need … "
"Is that so? Then it's possible that he's just playing. "
"Just playing?"
"Yes, you see, he said that he wants you to pretend to be his girlfriend, but get close to him from time to time. That must be taking advantage of him, right?"
Taking advantage of him? Yes, he did. Ye Zhen felt a little guilty.
"Let me tell you, for a man with such a good background, if he is serious about a woman who is not as good as him, there is no need to pretend to be his girlfriend. Since it's a disguise, it can only be for fun.
He's just playing. If your colleague takes it seriously, he will say, 'Look, I told you long ago that I'm just playing. Only you take it seriously.' "
But …
She thought of Li Junsheng's gentle and handsome face. She couldn't associate him with someone who played with a woman's feelings.
"Your colleague must have never been in love. She's too naive. "
Was that so?
Ye Zhen's previous shyness and embarrassment completely disappeared.
"Oh. Okay, I'll tell her. "
After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhen sat on the bed in a daze for a long time. Suddenly, she smiled.
Forget it, why think so much?
Li Junsheng and she were not the same kind of people. Since he said it was a disguise, then it was a disguise. As for him taking advantage of her —
He is so handsome, and he is so skillful. She would just take it that she took advantage of him.
Ye Zhen comforted herself like this, but that night, she still couldn't sleep.
..
When Ye Zhen received Li Junsheng's call again, her voice was no longer as enthusiastic as before.
"Uncle Li, what's the matter?"
Li Junsheng could hear it through the phone. He pretended to speak carelessly.
"Didn't you say you were going to treat me to a movie? There's a movie with a good reputation tonight. You – "
"Uncle Li, I have an appointment with my friend tonight. I'm afraid I won't be free."
"Is that so?" Li Junsheng wasn't annoyed. The fish had already entered the net. He would always make the other party willing. "Since you have an appointment with a friend, then let's make an appointment tomorrow. Zhen Zhen, you don't have an appointment with a friend tomorrow, right?"
"Tomorrow? I have an appointment with President Ning tomorrow. You know, my plan has been approved. I'll confirm it with President Ning tomorrow. "
"Really? Congratulations in advance. "
"Thank you, Uncle Li." Ye Zhen cleared her throat. "Uncle Li, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
After saying this, Ye Zhen quickly hung up the phone.
Li Junsheng held his phone and narrowed his eyes when he felt the speed at which the little girl on the other end of the phone hung up the phone.
What's wrong with the little girl?
..
When Ye Zhen hung up the phone, she felt a slight stuffiness in her heart. She couldn't say why she felt uncomfortable.
She shook her head. She thought, it's all fake anyway. It doesn't seem to be a problem to reject Li Junsheng.
Anyway, this girlfriend of hers is fake. Since it's fake, could it be that she really dated him and had other thoughts?
Shaking her head, Ye Zhen told herself not to think about it. Next, she would try her best to make Ninghai's plan perfect.
The next day, Ye Zhen made an appointment with President Ning. Last time at President Ning's family banquet, she left early. Tonight, she specially offered to be the host and treat President Ning to dinner.
The place for dinner was booked at a private restaurant. Apart from her, she called Xiao Xu. President Ning had a secretary surnamed Zhao.
Not long after Ye Zhen arrived, President Ning and Secretary Zhao arrived.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ye Zhen took out the newly revised plan for President Ning to see. Originally, she should have asked President Ning to go to Jiang Hui's company.
However, President Ning and Jiang Hui's cooperation was because of Ye Zhen's uncle, Lu Zhixuan. President Ning himself didn't like Ye Nanshan, so he didn't like to go to Jiang Hui to talk about business.
After Ye Zhen showed the plan to the other party, there was a hint of admiration in President Ning's eyes. "Not bad. I didn't expect that the original plan can't be used anymore. You can still come up with a better plan. This is better than the original one. "
"Thank you for your praise, President Ning." Ye Zhen had a faint smile on her face. She was still very confident in her own plan.
"Okay, let's do it this way."
President Ning made the decision. Ye Zhen smiled. "President Ning, I'll ask them to serve the dishes."
"Okay." President Ning didn't object. He admired Ye Zhen very much. Ye Zhen glanced at Xiao Xu. Xiao Xu stood up and went to find the waiter to serve the dishes.
President Ning's secretary, Xiao Zhao, went out to make a call. Not long after, he came in and looked at President Ning, then at Ye Zhen. He went forward and said a few words to President Ning. President Ning's face was a little surprised, then he glanced at Xiao Zhao.
"Are you sure?"
"No."
President Ning stood up and glanced at Ye Zhen. "Xiao Ye, I have a friend outside. I'll go say hello."
"Okay. Do as you wish. "
Ye Zhen stood up. She didn't know who President Ning's friend was. Xiao Xu came back at this time and said that President Ning was outside chatting with someone.
The door of the private room was opened again. President Ning came back. Before Ye Zhen stood up to greet him.
She saw the person behind President Ning.
Li Junsheng?
..
"Xiao Ye, let me introduce you. This is Mayor Li."
"Mayor Li, this is Ye Zhen, the leader of the planning team of our partner company. She's very capable. "
"President Ning, you don't need to introduce me. I know Zhenzhen."
Li Junsheng's voice brought Ye Zhen back to her senses. She looked at him and when she met President Ning's puzzled gaze, she called out embarrassedly, "Uncle Li."
"You know each other?"
President Ning didn't expect this turn of events. And this title. Zhenzhen?
Why didn't he know that Mayor Li and Ye Zhen had such a good relationship? He wasn't the only one who was surprised. Xiao Zhao and Xiao Xu were also stunned.
Wow, Mayor Li knew Ye Zhen? No way?
"Yes. Professor Lu is someone my father and I admire very much. Zhenzhen is Professor Lu's granddaughter. Naturally, we know each other. "
As Li Junsheng spoke, he walked straight to Ye Zhen's side, pulled out the chair next to her, and sat down.
"That's good." President Ning was satisfied and asked them to sit down. Coincidentally, the waiter had started to serve the dishes. He asked the waiter to bring the wine.
"It's really a rare fate. Since Mayor Li and Xiao Ye know each other, let's celebrate and have a drink together. "
"President Ning." Ye Zhen wanted to say that there was no need, but the waiter had already gone to bring the wine.
Ye Zhen couldn't refuse. She subconsciously looked in Li Junsheng's direction.
Li Junsheng looked at Ye Zhen, his eyes filled with an unclear meaning. "President Ning, I'm afraid it's inconvenient, right? I realized that Zhenzhen doesn't seem to drink. "
"How can you not drink? I've seen your alcohol tolerance last time. You can still drink. "
President Ning undermined Ye Zhen. Ye Zhen wanted to say that she only drank two small glasses of red wine last time. How could she drink? But how could President Ning give her a chance?
The wine was soon served. It wasn't red wine, but white wine. Ye Zhen felt that something was wrong.
Xiao Zhao was a perceptive person. Without waiting for President Ning's instructions, she opened the wine bottle and poured a glass for Li Junsheng. "Mayor Li, your treat."
"You're welcome."
Xiao Zhao poured the wine for him and filled President Ning and Ye Zhen's glasses.
Ye Zhen looked at the transparent wine. She really didn't drink white wine. In the past, she drank red wine or beer more.
"President Ning, why don't I drink beer?"
"Look at you, why are you drinking beer? Don't you see that Mayor Li is here? You even called Mayor Li 'uncle'. Isn't it just right for you, as a niece, to drink a few glasses with your uncle? "
President Ning was being kind. Ye Zhen's ability in the company was obvious to all, and she also had shares in the company.
Although she was suppressed by Ye Nanshan because of her filial piety, as long as Ye Zhen could get to know Mayor Li and build a relationship with him. It would definitely be good for her in the future.
