The runaway Cinderella of the billionaire president

Zhou Yian didn't expect him to be so direct. Faced with such an embarrassing question, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Wen, you are a nice person and you are very capable at work. It is a pleasure to work with you." Zhou Yian's words were very official, without any personal feelings.

"I'm not asking about that. I'm asking... if you think I'm a good boyfriend or a good match for your life, how would you describe me? Let's be frank. I like you and want to pursue you."

Wen Junru was a straightforward person. Seeing that the window paper had been broken, he no longer concealed his love for Zhou Yian.

"It's okay, you can just tell me straight out." Although Wen Junru said it was okay, the expectation in his eyes betrayed him.

Zhou Yian seemed a little embarrassed, afraid that his rejection would embarrass him, but he also knew in his heart that it was impossible for the two of them to be together. Rather than being misunderstood and spread rumors, and rather than letting Wen Junru have the illusion that he had a good impression of him because of his uncertainty, it would be better to express his thoughts clearly.

"Mr. Wen, I'm sorry, we...may not be suitable. I...don't have any intention of falling in love at the moment."

Wen Junru actually had some idea in his mind, but he still felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Zhou Yian say the rejection in person.

"It's okay. I'm glad you're honest with me. Although it's a pity, relationships really can't be forced. Well... we can still be friends, right?" Wen Junru is a man with a broad mind. He is always free and easy and indifferent.

"of course can."

"That's good. Don't worry. Those rumors are just made up by people who don't know the truth. I hope you don't take them to heart."

"it is good."

Wen Junru smiled and teased: "What about the meal? Are you still going to eat together, my friend?"

I have to say that Wen Junru can really take on and let go of things.

"Of course."

After solving the problem that had been troubling him, Zhou Yian breathed a sigh of relief.

The days are uneventful and everything seems to have returned to normal, but in fact, undercurrents are surging.

Since joining Wen Junru's company, Zhou Yian has had more things to do. He goes out early and comes back late every day. Sometimes he doesn't even get enough sleep. His life is busy and fulfilling, and he rarely has time to spend with Xu Zehao.

Today is Monday. Zhou Yian hasn't had a holiday for half a month. He couldn't bear it anymore and took a holiday today. It was a rare day off from work, so he took a holiday at home and gave Aunt Zhao a holiday as well.

Xu Zehao seemed to be very busy recently and often brought work home. Even today when Zhou Yian had a rare day off, he didn't have time to accompany her and got up early in the morning to go to the company.

When Xu Zehao got up, Zhou Yian was still sleeping in. Before leaving, he gently kissed her forehead, just like a loving couple.

When it was almost ten o'clock, Zhou Yian slowly opened her eyes. She had not been getting enough sleep since she was assigned to the field station. She had a very satisfying sleep in this rare sleep.

After getting up and washing up, she still smelled groggy and her eyes were still sleepy, as if she had not fully woken up yet.

She walked down the stairs slowly, holding the escalator. Halfway down, she heard the sound of a key being inserted into the door lock and turning. Thinking that Xu Zehao had returned early, she paused and stood at the turning point of the stairs.

When Gu Jiatong came in, she saw Zhou Yian standing between the stairs on the first and second floors. She was stunned, obviously not expecting that there would be someone else in the house at this time.

Zhou Yian was also shocked. She didn't expect that besides Xu Zehao and Aunt Zhao, there was a third person who had the key to this place, and the other person was a woman.

"I'm sorry, Miss Zhou, I'm Gu Jiatong, Zehao's personal assistant. He said he forgot the meeting materials in the study and asked me to come and get them." Gu Jiatong reacted first and was the first to say hello.

The personal assistant addressed his superior so intimately and naturally, and there was a lot of information contained in such a short sentence that Zhou Yian couldn't interpret it all at once.

"Uh... then I... I'll go to the second floor and get it down for you." The incident happened suddenly, and she was still in a daze. She seemed at a loss and looked at Gu Jiatong blankly.

Gu Jiatong wore delicate makeup, a high-necked coat, and a well-fitting professional suit underneath that outlined her curvy figure. Her hair was combed neatly, and she looked generous, decent, and perfect.

"No, thank you. I know where it is. I can get it myself." Gu Jiatong walked towards the study on the second floor with ease. When she passed by Zhou Yian, Zhou Yian smelled the peculiar scent of women's perfume on her. She was very familiar with this scent because she had smelled it on Xu Zehao.

Although this was her first time dealing with Gu Jiatong, Zhou Yian had run into her having dinner with Xu Zehao when she went out to dinner with Fu Shenyan for the first time.

Gu Jiatong came to the second floor and walked straight in. She immediately found the document Xu Zehao wanted. When she came out, she passed by the spacious master bedroom. She couldn't help but slow down her pace. She looked up inside and an unknown emotion surged in her heart. She tried her best to suppress it and left quickly.

When she arrived at the first floor, Zhou Yian was standing at the stairs waiting for her to come down. "Miss Gu, you've worked hard. Would you like to sit down and have a cup of tea?"

Gu Jiatong inadvertently glanced at Zhou Yian. She was without makeup, and her long hair was casually tied up, revealing her smooth forehead and curved eyebrows. Her white silk pajamas were hanging loosely on her body. She was dressed very homely, like a housewife.

Gu Jiatong smiled and said, "Thank you, but no, Zehao needs this document urgently. I'll leave first."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Zhou Yian smelled the perfume she left behind and found himself a little funny. She was obviously the guest, but he was the one who felt guilty.

This assistant seemed to be very familiar with everything here. Xu Zehao was a person with a strong sense of boundaries. The fact that he could call him like this and had the key to South Bay showed that he had an extraordinary relationship with Xu Zehao.

Gu Jiatong returned to the car with the documents. She looked up at the house thoughtfully.

Her heart was moved for the first time because of the appearance of this woman.

When Xu Zehao came back in the evening, Zhou Yian was sitting at the dining table working diligently. The soft light shining on her added a touch of tranquility. She looked slightly tired, but her eyes were very determined.

"It's a rare day off, but you're still working so hard?"

Zhou Yian didn't even raise his head, his fingertips jumping quickly on the keyboard, "There's nothing I can do. At the beginning of a new project, there's a lot of work to be done in the early stages, otherwise it won't be possible to proceed later."

Xu Zehao walked behind her and gently pressed her shoulders.

A familiar scent of perfume wafted over, and Zhou Yian's expression froze, and she frowned in disgust, but this expression was fleeting, and her face returned to normal in an instant.

"You've been working all day. You must be very tired. Take a shower and rest early." She shrugged her shoulders and broke free from his hand. She was resisting his closeness.

Xu Zehao didn't understand what was going on, so he touched her head affectionately and went to the second floor to wash up.

The days became dull, and the two of them lived in peace, giving people the illusion that life was peaceful.

The days passed like flowing water, the cold winter passed quickly, early spring came, and the trees also showed new buds.

After several months of hard work, the project Zhou Yian was responsible for has matured. She has also completed her on-site assignment and returned to work in the company. Her working hours have gradually returned to normal.

A few months later, the project was successfully completed. Chen Hao kept his word and paid the promised bonuses and wages. Zhou Yian was delighted when he saw the tens of thousands of dollars suddenly deposited into his account.
