Ji Chengzhou carefully carried the girl out of the car and walked upstairs quickly. He pushed open the door of the room, held the girl in his arms and sat on the sofa in the room, took off her coat and shoes, and then gently put her on the big bed and covered her with a quilt.

He sat on the bed and reached out to touch the girl's hair. Her eyes were quietly closed, and her long eyelashes were like a small fan. She was asleep, breathing evenly and steadily, her red lips slightly open, and her moist, red, soft and shiny tongue tip was exposed with every breath.

Ji Chengzhou looked at her like this for more than ten minutes. After tucking the quilt for her, he stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

The moment he turned around, the girl who was originally sleeping soundly on the bed opened her eyes slightly. Her eyes were clear and bright, not at all like she had just woken up.

She had indeed fallen asleep in the car just now. She had already woken up when Ji Chengzhou carried her upstairs and helped her take off her coat. She just didn't know what to say to him, so she could only close her eyes and pretend to sleep. She never thought that he would sit by the bed for so long. She was about to give up pretending, but fortunately he left. Thinking of this, Lu Nanying breathed a sigh of relief and glanced sideways at the huge room, the light luxury decoration in cool colors, the two-meter-long bed, the haze blue bedding, and the air was filled with a faint cedar scent.

She lay on her side, her beautiful almond eyes looking at the figure reflected in the bathroom, listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, her thoughts went back to the moment when Ji Chengzhou committed suicide for love, he went to die without hesitation, looked at her with love in her eyes when she was already dead on the bed, he was so good, why did she wait until she died to find out. Thinking of the full patch of platycodon flowers that Ji Chengzhou planted for her, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, her eyes turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes.

The bathroom door opened, and a tall figure walked out. He was steaming, with a towel tied around his waist, his chest muscles, abdominal muscles, and mermaid line were all visible. His short black hair was wet and stuck to his temples, and water drops flowed down his neck, onto his collarbone, and onto his chest muscles.

Ji Chengzhou looked at the girl lying on the bed with her eyes open and tears in her eyes, and his heart ached. He stopped in front of the bathroom, not daring to move closer. Lu Nanying was a little stunned by his sudden appearance. Looking at the man's particularly attractive figure, she didn't react for a moment. After a short moment, she came to her senses and found that she had been staring at Ji Chengzhou who was not wearing any clothes. From her cheeks to her ears, she had to admit that this man was not only handsome and had a good family background, but also had an impeccable figure.

She couldn't help but stretch out her tender little white hand to the man and waved gently. Ji Chengzhou walked towards the bed in small steps as if he had lost his soul.

The man approached her with a moist look, with bronze skin, a high chest, a thin waist, and every muscle was very strong and powerful. He exuded a strong masculine scent.

Lu Nanying blushed and buried her face slightly in the pillow. She said in a soft voice, "You haven't answered the question I asked you at the bar."

Ji Chengzhou was stunned for a moment, looked down at himself, and turned to walk towards the cloakroom. A few minutes later, he changed into a set of black silk pajamas and sat down by the bed. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said lazily, "What kind of answer do you want to hear?"

She looked up at him, pouted her lips, and looked aggrieved. Seeing his teasing, she said sullenly, "That Miss Li said that she is your fiancée and you are going to get married. Since you are going to get married, why did you bring me home?"

Ji Chengzhou was almost amused by the seemingly aggrieved little girl in front of him. She had always rejected him and resisted his approach. He had confessed his love for her several times, but she had rejected him harshly. He had not wronged her for hurting him, but she felt wronged based on a few unconfirmed words from outsiders.

He sighed softly and said helplessly: "You are so sad knowing that I am getting married. It's not that you don't like me and hope that I will stay away from your life. If so, isn't it a good thing for you that I am getting married?"

Hearing this, Lu Nanying, who was lying on her side on the bed, stood up anxiously, grabbed the corner of the man's clothes, and said in a crying voice: "It's not like that, I..."

She was about to speak but stopped herself. Her heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible claw and she couldn't calm down. In her anxiety, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. Ji Chengzhou didn't say anything. He looked at her with an indissoluble emotion in his eyes.

Her slightly red eyes, coupled with the teardrop mole at the corner of her eyes, made her look even more pitiful. Ji Chengzhou looked at her, suppressing his heartache.

Lu Nanying looked him straight in the eyes, her voice soft, "I know I was willful before, I listened to other people's instigation, and I said a lot of unpleasant things to you. We grew up together, and you have always been like my brother to me. I never thought you would like me. Moreover, in the past few years, after you took over Ji Corporation, you became busier and busier, and the number of times we met became less and less. Others say that you are cruel and ruthless, and many companies were forced to withdraw from Beijing after offending you."

She looked up at him, and seeing that he had no reaction, she continued, "Later, because of Cheng Suyu, I met Yang Yunze. He was very caring and often accompanied me, and I gradually developed a good impression of him. They often said bad things about you in my ear, and Cheng Suyu said that she liked you and hoped that I could give her a chance to confess to you. Over time, I felt that you were the person she liked, so I rejected you."

Ji Chengzhou was so angry at this smart-aleck girl that he stood up and walked out of the room.

Lu Nanying watched him walk out, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back and dripped onto the quilt.

Ji Chengzhou walked in with milk. Seeing the girl on the bed sobbing with her head down, he felt distressed. He clenched the cup in his hand, walked to the bed and handed it to her.

Lu Nanying raised her head, her nose red, and looked at the man with a twitch. Ji Chengzhou put the milk in her hand, reached out to take a tissue from the bedside table, and carefully wiped her tears: "We've been talking for so long, you must be thirsty, drink a glass of milk first."

She was stunned for a moment, then quickly calmed down. She took a sip of the milk and put it on the bedside table. She bit her lower lip tightly, her voice choking with sobs: "The last time I went out to sea, I saw them..." She paused, took a deep breath, and continued.

"I know now. They have been using me all along. I was disobedient. You told me many times, but I just wouldn't listen. They pushed me into the sea. I was so scared at the time. If you hadn't sent someone to protect me, I might have died in the sea."

Ji Chengzhou listened to her silently, a flash of hostility flashed across his eyes, and his fists clenched.
