On the day of rest, Shen Anran carefully tidied up her coat and put it carefully into her bag.

She took the bus several times and finally arrived downstairs of Zhou Group.

At that time, Zhou Jingyan's parents went abroad, and the company in S City was handed over to their former assistant for management.

Now that Zhou Jingyan has returned to China, the management rights of the company naturally fall back into his hands.

When the receptionist saw someone approaching, she immediately smiled warmly and greeted politely: "Hello, do you have an appointment?"

Shen Anran shook her head slightly and replied calmly, "I don't have an appointment, but I have something I need you to return to Zhou Jingyan."

The lady at the front desk frowned slightly. She was curious about what was in the bag, but out of caution, she did not take it directly or agree easily.

After all, Shen Anran used the word "return" instead of "give" as others usually say.

"May I ask you are?"

“Just give it to him and he’ll figure it out.”

Shen Anran turned and left silently, leaving the receptionist with a confused look on her face.

After walking out of the door, Shen Anran walked to the corner of the street, leaned against the wall, and gasped violently. The pain in his chest became more and more obvious, and it took a long time for him to recover.

Before he had taken two steps, Shen Anran's eyes suddenly fixed on a familiar license plate and he stopped involuntarily.

The car was parked steadily at the gate. The driver quickly got out of the driver's seat and respectfully opened the door for the back seat. A tall lady got out of the car gracefully.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jingyan got out of the vehicle from the other side, and the two stood side by side, like a pair of talented men and beautiful women.

Shen Anran's eyes could no longer hold back the tears, and they quietly slid down her cheeks.

She thought to herself, that must be Zhou Jingyan's fiancée, they really look like a good match.

She turned around gently and left the place silently.

Zhou Jingyan seemed to sense something, and his eyes swept in that direction, but he found nothing except the empty streets.

The lady next to him frowned slightly and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, let's go in." Zhou Jingyan replied, and then the two of them walked towards the gate together.

When the receptionist saw Zhou Jingyan, she seemed a little hesitant, but she finally mustered up the courage to call him.

"Mr. Zhou, a lady just said that this is something she wants to return to you." As she spoke, she handed the bag in her hand to Zhou Jingyan.

He took the bag and recognized its contents with just a quick glance.

"Where is she now?" he asked, with a hint of imperceptible urgency in his voice.

"That lady has left." The receptionist replied.

Zhou Jingyan's eyes sank slightly. It was not an illusion just now. She was indeed standing there. An indescribable uneasiness quietly rose in his heart.

Zhou Wanning, who was standing by, noticed the change in her brother's expression. She couldn't help but tease him, "This is the first time I've seen you so nervous about someone. Is it your friend? Or... someone else?"

There was a hint of teasing in her tone.

Although Zhou Wanning has been living abroad for many years, she is very proficient in Chinese.

Zhou Jingyan did not respond, but picked up the phone and quickly dialed a number.

What came from the other end of the phone was a voice announcement, indicating that the other party was on the phone.

His brows couldn't help but furrow, and he wondered in his heart who she was talking to.

He called twice more, but the response was still the same. The other end of the phone always had the prompt tone of "call in progress".

Zhou Wanning smacked her lips and said jokingly, "Looks like there's going to be a day when you're blocked."

Zhou Jingyan's face darkened instantly. He couldn't understand why the other party suddenly blocked him.

They had agreed to meet before, but now she not only sent the coat to the company, but also blocked his contact information.

All this seemed to indicate that she wanted to cut off all contact with him and deliberately keep a distance from him.

Zhou Wanning looked at her brother's gloomy face and a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

He continued to joke, "Could that person be your white moonlight? Did you do something to make him angry?"

She had also heard about Zhou Jingyan and Shen Anran.

This time I returned to China, on the one hand for other things, and on the other hand out of curiosity, wanting to see with my own eyes the woman who had made my brother's heart beat.

Zhou Jingyan glanced at her coldly and responded in a cold tone: "You talk too much."

"Okay, I'll shut up." Zhou Wanning shrugged and made a gesture to seal her mouth.

She muttered to herself that Zhou Jingyan had always been cold and heartless since he was a child, and always had a expressionless face.

I don’t know what the kid from the Shen family likes about him. Be careful that you may end up in the crematorium when you chase his wife.

Zhou Jingyan sent a message to his assistant, asking him to investigate Shen Anran's recent schedule.

Not long after, the assistant replied, reporting in detail Shen Anran's whereabouts and actions during this period, listing every detail.

There is no doubt about it. He is either at work or on his way to work.

What went wrong? Zhou Jingyan couldn't think of an answer.

Since then, Zhou Jingyan noticed that Shen Anran seemed to be deliberately avoiding him.

Even if he was standing on the road that Shen Anran had to pass every day, she would pretend not to see him, and either choose to take a detour or turn around and go back.

On this day, Zhou Jingyan stood at the gate of Shen Group, waiting for Shen Anran to appear.

When he saw Shen Anran walking out of the door, he strode towards her without hesitation and said sincerely, "Can we have a good chat?"

Shen Anran's attitude was very cold. "There's nothing good to talk about between you and me, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Jingyan frowned and asked, "Did I do something wrong?"

Shen Anran replied calmly: "No, I just finally figured it out."

More and more people gathered at the gate. Some people recognized Zhou Jingyan's identity and began to whisper, and the whispers spread among the crowd.

Shen Anran sighed silently, then unexpectedly took Zhou Jingyan's hand and walked towards a more secluded street nearby.

When they reached a relatively quiet place, she let go of his hand.

He said in a cold tone: "Mr. Zhou, thank you for your help during this period. Let's stop here."

"Why? Aren't we friends?" Zhou Jingyan's voice contained a hint of confusion and anxiety.

Shen Anran chuckled, her voice tinged with self-mockery: "How could the famous Mr. Zhou still be short of friends? Is it because I'm easy to tease?"

"It's not like that, I..." Zhou Jingyan tried to explain, and in desperation he reached out to pull Shen Anran's hand.

However, Shen Anran's reaction was unexpectedly fierce. She quickly slapped his hand away, "Don't touch me!"

She raised her cold eyes and said, "Zhou Jingyan, we are not from the same world."
