Ji Chengwang smiled and said nothing more.

The restaurant they booked was a high-end restaurant. When the two arrived, they were led to the private room by the waiter. Ji Chengwang did not ask Zhou Anan to order food, as he had already prepared everything in advance.

When all the dishes were served, Ji Chengwang smiled and said, "I wonder if it suits Miss Zhou's taste."

Zhou Anan didn't care about that. She picked up a piece of meat, put it into her mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it. She said slowly, "Mr. Ji, you didn't come here just to eat with me today, did you?"

Hearing this, Ji Chengwang was stunned. He then took out a document, placed it on the turntable and turned it in front of Zhou Anan, saying with a smile, "Of course not."

"Ms. Zhou, please read the contents of the document. They are all my supplements to this cooperation..."

As Zhou Anan watched, Ji Chengwang added details about the cooperation.

Everything was normal at first, until he was almost done, when Ji Chengwang suddenly asked, "Miss Zhou, has your family arranged a wedding?"

"Marriage?" Zhou Anan frowned, looked up at him questioningly, and asked, "Mr. Ji, does my marriage have anything to do with our cooperation this time?"

Perhaps because Zhou Anan was alert, Ji Chengwang quickly explained with a smile: "Ms. Zhou, please don't misunderstand me. I just think that talking about work is too boring. Such a good atmosphere..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhou Anan interrupted him, "I didn't know Mr. Ji was such an interesting and humorous person, but I don't find my work boring. Just go ahead and tell me."

When she first met Ji Chengwang, Zhou Anan knew that he was not what he seemed.

The Ji Chengwang in front of him seemed more like someone he was pretending to be, but beneath this hypocritical appearance might be Ji Chengwang's true appearance.

Ji Chengwang was not a boring person. Seeing that Zhou Anan didn't buy his tricks, he put aside his thoughts and continued to talk about work with Zhou Anan.

An hour later, the conversation ended.

Zhou Anan didn't eat much of the food on the table. She put the documents away, stood up and said, "Now that we've finished talking, I'll leave first."

Seeing this, Ji Chengwang quickly stood up. When Zhou Anan walked out, he grabbed her arm and asked anxiously, "Miss Zhou, why are you so anxious?"

Zhou Anan didn't finish her words. She turned her head to look at the place where Ji Chengwang was holding her hand and gave him a warning look. Ji Chengwang quickly let go of her hand and apologized.

He continued, "I'll take you back."

His tone was unyielding, but Zhou Anan was not someone who would compromise.

Zhou Anan smiled and said, "Don't bother, I've already taken a taxi."

After saying that, she opened the door and left quickly, leaving Ji Chengwang standing there alone.

He looked at Zhou Anan's back as she left, and the gentle mask on his face fell off at this moment.

The uneasy feeling ended only after Zhou Anan walked out of the restaurant.

She didn't take a taxi, but used the excuse of taking a taxi to leave.

Just as she was about to hail a taxi, a car stopped in front of her.

The car window slowly lowered, and Fu Sirong's face came into view.

He said, "Get in the car."

Zhou Anan hesitated.

The next second, Ji Chengwang's voice came from behind: "Miss Zhou, has the taxi not arrived yet?"

There were people in front and behind, so Zhou Anan gritted her teeth, quickly opened the passenger door and sat in.

Zhou Anan pressed the window-closing button, and without turning to look at Ji Chengwang who had come out, she looked straight ahead and said calmly, "Drive."

Then the car started and drove away from the restaurant.

Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was very awkward. After leaving the restaurant, Zhou Anan lowered the car window, supported her chin with her hands, and let the evening breeze blow on her face.

Just as she was enjoying it, suddenly, the car window slowly closed.

Fu Sirong's voice then rang out: "The evening wind is strong. If you blow too much, you'll catch a cold."

Zhou Anan didn't say anything. She closed her eyes, folded her arms around her chest, and leaned back.

She is angry and wants you to take care of it.

Fu Sirong glanced at Zhou Anan, and seeing that Zhou Anan was almost angry, he smiled helplessly.

Taking advantage of the red light, he took out a box from the side and handed it to Zhou Anan: "Here."

Zhou Anan opened his eyes, looked at the box, and asked, "What is this?"

"It's a gift, but also compensation."

As he spoke, Fu Sirong opened the box, and inside lay a ring.

Zhou Anan panicked and turned her head away and said calmly, "We've already broken up. What do you mean by giving me a ring now?"

Fu Sirong did not answer her question directly, but asked: "Didn't you see the birthday present?"

birthday present?

Thinking of the gift that she had not yet opened, she would have almost forgotten it if Fu Sirong had not mentioned it.

She pretended not to know and asked, "What gift?"

Fu Sirong smiled, as if he knew she was lying. As the green light was about to turn on, he put the box down, put his hands back on the steering wheel, and said, "I carefully selected this gift. Even if we break up, this birthday present is still a gift from me, your friend."

Zhou Anan didn't say anything, so he continued, "Did you know that man just now was Jiang Wanying's father?"

Hearing this, Zhou Anan nodded.

She had discovered this when she had her subordinates investigate earlier.

As for why Jiang Wanying didn't have the surname Ji, she used her brain to guess why Jiang Wanying was not welcome in the Ji family.

"Why is he eating with you?"

Hearing this question, Zhou Anan felt puzzled and said, "We have broken up. What I do and who I eat with has nothing to do with you."

Feelings come and go quickly, just like a dream, happy for a moment, and then back to normal.

She couldn't deny that she still had feelings for Fu Sirong, but the time they spent together was like a small episode, and the facts forced this episode to end.

Fu Sirong was silent for a long time. When he sent Zhou Anan to Zhou's house, he picked up the small box and said, "Take it. I didn't mean that. I just want a ring so I can refuse other people's kindness."

Zhou Anan knew what Fu Sirong meant, but she didn't accept it: "Thank you, if it's just to refuse, I can buy it myself."

After saying that, she opened the car door and walked out.

When the car door closed again, only the lingering fragrance remained in the car.

Fu Sirong watched Zhou Anan leave. Only after she disappeared from his sight did he start the car and leave.

As soon as Zhou Anan returned to her room, she remembered the birthday gift Fu Sirong mentioned.

She opened the drawer and saw the half-opened birthday present.

She wanted to open it, but when she was just one step away from opening it, she gave up.

She was afraid that it contained Fu Sirong's feelings and that she would be moved.

In the end, she closed the drawer again and hid her feelings inside.
