In the morning, a cold wind was blowing outside the window, and the leaves were rustling, mixed with the sound of a few yellow leaves falling to the ground.

The gloomy sky in late autumn and the depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire city.

Xiao Tongyu randomly stuffed a piece of bread into her mouth and was about to go out to work with her bag when she received a call from Zhuang Shufei.

"Ah Tongtong! Did you see the trending search?!"

"No, I don't even have time to check Weibo, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Tongyu got into his white Audi, turned on the car's Bluetooth, and started the car.

"Yan Hao is such a bastard! He deliberately hyped me up for a couple relationship!"

Xiao Tongyu chuckled: "So what? Hype CP is the way to survive in the entertainment industry. Besides, weren't you on the hot search a while ago because someone leaked your kissing scene with him?"

Zhuang Shufei was speechless when she heard this. She recalled Han Yu's warm hand lifting her face...

"Tongtong, what are you doing?"

"I'm driving, what's the matter?"

Zhuang Shufei thought, it would be better not to tell her since she was driving, to avoid her being too shocked and causing a traffic accident.

"Tongtong, when are you free? Let's go have a drink?"

"Aren't you afraid of being photographed? And didn't you say drinking with me is boring? I only order non-alcoholic drinks every time."

Zhuang Shufei thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. I'll ask someone in the circle and find a private place. We haven't seen each other for a long time. How about tonight?"

Xiao Tongyu steered the wheel skillfully: "Okay, I should be able to do it."

"Are you sure? Ji Yunze won't look for you?"

"He's been ignoring me lately. Whatever he wants, he's either angry or fed up. He's really mean to me. But thanks to him, I can get off work on time every day lately."

After hearing what Xiao Tongyu said, Zhuang Shufei found it too unbelievable.

How could Ji Yunze's face, which was full of desire when he saw Xiao Tongyu, be so easily bored? And that day, when she heard her brother say that he and Xiao Tongyu had eaten half of their meal, she was pulled away by Ji Yunze.

Oh, you are just being jealous.

"Okay, I'll send you the location later."

"okay."

……

After being busy for the whole morning, Xiao Tongyu had no time to eat lunch before it was time to go to the construction site for inspection with Ji Yunze in the afternoon.

Wu Yan had other tasks to do today, so she and her driver and bodyguard Sun Chengxun were the only ones in the car.

The Rolls-Royce drove all the way to the construction site on the outskirts of the city. There was one of the major projects of the Ji Group in recent years, the Dile Comprehensive City. This was a super large community built on the lakeside outside the imperial capital, integrating entertainment, shopping, housing, and business offices.

There were dark clouds outside the window, and Xiao Tongyu opened the weather forecast on his mobile phone.

It was just cloudy and there was no rain forecast, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Xiao Tongyu's stomach made a series of rumbling sounds. She felt that hunger had brought her to the boundary where illusion and reality intertwined.

She glanced at Ji Yunze beside her. He had his eyes closed, his long eyelashes fluttering up and down, his high nose and perfect jawline were too superior.

Xiao Tongyu turned his head. What are you looking at? Being handsome can't be eaten. Ji Yunze shouldn't carry snacks with him.

After a while, the car stopped at the construction site and project manager Shi Wei respectfully opened the door for Ji Yunze.

"Welcome, President Ji. Thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Tongyu followed him out of the car. She hesitated for a moment, then turned back and knocked on the driver's window: "Um...Driver Sun, did you bring any food?"

"Ah?" Sun Chengxun was confused, "No, Secretary Xiao didn't have lunch?"

Xiao Tongyu waved his hand: "Ah, forget it. You wait here, President Ji and I will be back soon."

……

Xiao Tongyu followed Ji Yunze closely in her high heels, moving around the construction site.

The uneven concrete floor and the dirt and stones on the ground seemed to be deliberately against her, making her stagger and struggle with every step she took, as if she was dancing on the edge of a knife, and she almost fell several times.

At this moment, she regretted deeply why she didn't change into a pair of more comfortable shoes.

"Secretary Xiao, are you okay?" Shi Wei asked with concern as he walked in front.

Ji Yunze turned around and showed a look of disgust.

Xiao Tongyu knew that if he was any slower he might get scolded again.

"Ah, I'm fine." She steadied herself and took big steps forward.

The group arrived at the main building of the construction site, which is the core building of the community. The basic frame has been completed, but the roof has not yet been completed.

While listening to Manager Shi's introduction, Xiao Tongyu quickly and skillfully helped Ji Yunze record some important points.

This was no problem for her as she had been a top student since childhood.

More than an hour later, the inspection was about to come to an end. Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, a flash of lightning split the sky, followed by a thunderous roar that shook the earth.

This is very unusual in late fall weather.

Oops, it's going to rain. Xiao Tongyu put away his notebook and quickly took out an umbrella from his bag.

The moment she held the umbrella over Ji Yunze's head, the rain poured down, hitting the ground hard, making crackling sounds.

The weather forecast didn't predict rain today, so Xiao Tongyu only carried a small parasol with him.

At this time, in order to prevent Ji Yunze from getting wet in the rain, she stretched out her arms and gave him almost all the umbrellas.

Her clothes and hair were instantly soaked by the heavy rain, and the delicate makeup on her face was completely ruined.

Ji Yunze frowned and looked down at the woman beside him. Her underwear was faintly visible through her wet clothes.

"Hold on your own."

"How can that be? I'm fine. Mr. Ji can't get wet." Xiao Tongyu's eyes were blurred by the heavy rain. She walked quickly while wiping the rain off her face with her hands.

"Mr. Ji, please get in the car quickly." Manager Shi and several employees quickly welcomed Ji Yunze back to the car.

……

After getting in the car, Xiao Tongyu picked up the tissue from the back seat and helped Ji Yunze wipe some rain off his coat.

Fortunately, apart from his coat getting a little wet, he was hardly wet by the rain.

Ji Yunze stared at Xiao Tongyu's bare face, whose makeup had been completely washed away by the rain.

The raindrops gathered into beads at the ends of her hair, and then slowly slid down her wet clothes.

Suddenly, Ji Yunze's heartbeat accelerated. He shook off Xiao Tongyu's hand: "Wipe it yourself, no need to help me."

Xiao Tongyu paused and withdrew his hand.

Sun Chengxun, who was sitting in the front seat, spoke up: "Secretary Xiao, you asked if there was anything to eat just now. I bought a bag of potato chips from the canteen over there. Do you want any?"

Xiao Tongyu blushed. Although she was starving, she didn't dare to eat in Ji Yunze's car.

Ji Yunze, who has always been a germaphobe, might just throw her out of the car.

"Ah, thank you, Driver Sun. I'll eat after I get off the car."

Ji Yunze's face darkened: "Secretary Xiao didn't have lunch?"

Xiao Tongyu nodded and wiped the rain off his body: "I didn't have time to eat. But it's okay, I'm not hungry now."

There was a confused light in Ji Yunze's eyes, and he said nothing more.

The Rolls-Royce drove all the way back to the center of the imperial capital, and Xiao Tongyu shivered in the rain.

Only now did she realize what it felt like to be hungry and cold.

The car was shaking, and sleepiness gradually came over her, filling her entire brain.

She closed her eyes sleepily and leaned weakly against the back of the seat.

Ji Yunze said to Sun Chengxun: "Turn on the heating."

"Okay, Mr. Ji."

"Stop the car and take off your jacket."

Sun Chengxun quickly took off his coat and handed it to the back seat.

Ji Yunze gently covered Xiao Tongyu with his coat.

He felt sorry for her, but at the same time he didn't want her to know. It was as if there were two little people pulling at each other in his chest.

What a twisted man.
