Chapter 25
"Zhiwan."

Ji Yan frowned, and said in a deep voice, "I don't like discussing other people's affairs."

"Okay, then I won't talk about it." Chen Zhiwan had no flaws on her face, and she changed the subject with a light smile: "Ji Yan, I will not leave this time when I come back from the United States. I am a little unfamiliar with everything in Beijing. In the next period of time, I will trouble you to bring me more."

As she spoke, her eyes glanced casually. After seeing a black tube lipstick that fell on the ground, she paused for a moment. After a while, she bent down to pick it up and asked indifferently: "Lipstick, do you have a girlfriend?" Yet?"

Ji Yan glanced at the lipstick, remembering Xu Chenyin's introduction to him last night, and replied without changing his face: "It's from a colleague."

"It's very tasteful. This lipstick is still a limited edition. I didn't grab it last time..."

As Chen Zhiwan said, he wanted to unscrew the lipstick.

"Zhiwan, don't move." When Ji Yan turned the steering wheel, he glanced at the lipstick in her hand, and said in a flat tone: "It's not good to touch other people's things casually."

Hearing this, Chen Zhiwan's face froze, he put down the mouth in his hand, turned his eyes to look out of the car window, and stopped talking.

Ji Yan casually picked up the lipstick she put down and put it in his pocket.

Noticing his action, Chen Zhiwan's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

On the other side, when Xu Chenyin got out of the car, he was looking for lipstick in his bag, but he couldn't find it. Only then did he find out that the lipstick was lost, and he couldn't help sighing a little annoyed.

"what happened?"

Hearing her sigh, Zhao Jinzhou raised his eyelids and asked aloud, "What are you sighing for?"

"I lost the lipstick." Xu Chenyin lowered his head and rummaged through the bag a few more times before accepting the reality: "It's quite expensive. It cost me several days' salary."

"How much is your salary for several days?"

Zhao Jinzhou asked a little curiously.

"A small 1000 yuan."

"..."

Zhao Jinzhou was silent, tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips, and asked slowly, "Nuuu, do you really like the work of a cultural relic restorer?"

Xu Chenyin nodded without hesitation, and whispered softly: "I like it, every cultural relic has an aura. In the process of restoring them, I can feel the stories of their owners. I have a great sense of accomplishment when they are restored."

Zhao Jinzhou lowered his eyes, looked at her confident smile when talking about cultural relics, paused, took back the words that came to his lips, and curled his lower lip: "Do what you like, I support you."

"Yeah!" Xu Chenyin said with a slight smile, "Thank you brother for your support."

When she was going back to Beijing from the United States to work as a cultural relic restorer, her mother strongly opposed it. When she and her mother were in a stalemate, it was Zhao Jinzhou who stood up to support her, which made her mother take a step back.

Zhao Jinzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, and changed the subject abruptly: "However, I will spend what should be spent, your brother and I are not short of money."

After he finished speaking, he took out a black card from his pocket and handed it to her. Seeing her stupefied, he raised his chin at her and said in a tone that could not be refused: "Take it, do what you like, and at the same time improve your quality of life." You can't go back either."

Xu Chenyin drooped her eyelashes and wanted to refuse, but before she could speak, Zhao Jinzhou said again: "Aren't you going to give me a gift, just treat me to dinner today."

"Take your card and treat you to dinner in my name?"

"something wrong?"

Xu Chenyin shook her head and chuckled lightly: "No problem, I just think you look like..."

In the middle of speaking, she stopped abruptly, opened the car door and got out of the car. The dazzling sunlight hit her face, she was dazzled, and subconsciously raised her hand to cover half of her face.

It was also this move that made her miss the approaching vehicle not far away again.

"like what?"

Zhao Jinzhou walked to the restaurant door first, pushed open the glass door of the restaurant for her, and said with a gentlemanly appearance: "Madam please first."

Xu Chenyin glanced at him, the smile on his face never went down, and walked into the restaurant guided by his arm: "It's like being taken advantage of."

Hearing her name, instead of being annoyed, Zhao Jinzhou said in a vague way: "Will you be taken advantage of for the rest of your life?"

Xu Chenyin pursed her lips and didn't respond again. She lowered her eyes to cover her thoughts, followed the waiter to the seat behind the screen, sat down and changed the subject: "Brother, how long will you stay in Beijing this time? time?"

This is a Chinese restaurant, but it is different from ordinary Chinese restaurants. The hall is decorated with rockery and gurgling water, and the sound of guqin is elegant. At a glance, it seems that you have traveled through time and space, and you are in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

"uncertain."

Zhao Jinzhou picked up the teacup and took a sip: "The management of the Beijing branch has been a little shaken recently, and I may stay in Beijing."

"Don't go?"

Xu Chenyin looked surprised and said, "Did Uncle Zhao arrange it like this?"

Seeing her like this, Zhao Jinzhou put down the teacup and said casually, "Why, expect me to go?"

"No." Xu Chenyin denied it categorically. She wanted to change the subject again, but before she could speak, Zhao Jinzhou said first: "No is the best, otherwise I might think that I have raised a heartless cat." .”

"..." Xu Chen's voice fell silent.

ungrateful?
She is very sensitive to these three words now.

"Why don't you talk?" After Zhao Jinzhou took the menu handed over by the waiter, he flipped through a few pages and pointed to a few dishes. Then he looked up at her, with a trace of teasing between his handsome brows: "Isn't it What did I accidentally say right?"

"..."

Xu Chenyin's hand hanging by her side tightened, but her voice sounded the same as usual: "No, I want to drink strawberry juice."

"One more glass of strawberry juice."

After Zhao Jinzhou finished ordering the dishes, he didn't continue the topic just now. Instead, he began to persuade: "Mumble, Aunt Liu is also for your own good. Even if she did something wrong back then, she is still your mother after all. You always mean to I don't intend to contradict her, but don't let her, an elder, feel sad?"

When he finished speaking, the waiter came pushing the dining cart.

It also happened to cover Xu Chenyin's answer.

Chen Zhiwan looked at the man sitting opposite and remained silent. She comforted softly: "The past is over, isn't everything going in a good direction now? Auntie..."

When she said this, she lowered her eyes and saw the blue veins on the back of Ji Yan's hand that had burst out due to exertion, she stopped speaking abruptly, poured a cup of tea for Ji Yan, and reminded with a smile: "Didn't you say that you have put it down?"

Hearing her words, Ji Yan suddenly came back to his senses, let go of his tense emotions, and asked casually, "Why didn't you leave this time?"

"In the past few years in the United States, I have figured out one thing."

"what's up?"

Chen Zhiwan pursed her lips and smiled, raised her eyes to look at him, and said with focused eyes: "I want to get married. After encountering sad things, I want to have someone to rely on. Similarly, I also want to be the one to rely on for my other half."
