Rose Manor

People were waiting for the bus one after another. Shen Jianian stood up and took two steps forward without occupying the seat. He happened to hear the car horn.

As if having a premonition, she looked to the right and saw a black Bentley parked not far away.

Shen Jianian pressed the bag at his side with one hand and trotted over.

The driver was Fu Jichen. She opened the door of the passenger seat and got in. She pulled on the seat belt and fastened it: "Don't you need to go back to the company this afternoon?"

Fu Jichen started the engine: "Have a rest for half a day."

Shen Jianian said "Oh" and watched as his slender fingers rested on the steering wheel, turning it a small half circle with ease, and then letting go of the steering wheel to return to its original position.

After driving for a short distance and finding a place where he could turn around, he turned his head and looked at the rearview mirror while turning the steering wheel to turn the car around.

"Why are you here?" Fu Jichen asked casually.

When he drove from the company, he passed a hospital, probably the one where Shen Jianian visited patients, which was about ten kilometers away.

Shen Jianian couldn't answer. The fingers on the bag dug at the edge of the leather: "Just take a walk."

Fu Jichen glanced at her in surprise: "Walked ten kilometers just for a casual walk?"

Shen Jia Nian was thinking about things and walking forward aimlessly. He didn't pay attention to the time or the road section, and he walked so far without realizing it.

"Are you worried?" While waiting for the red light, Fu Jichen took back his hand on the steering wheel and held her little hand.

His palms are always dry and warm, because he has been pampered since he was a child, without a trace of calluses. It is like a heater, baking her hands, and the heat spreads along the meridians of the fingers throughout the limbs and bones.

My whole body felt warm.

Shen Jianian turned his head to look at him, with an unknown struggle in his eyes.

She had already made up her mind to tell him about stopping the transaction today, but it was one thing to think about it and another thing to actually say it out loud.

She hasn't organized the words yet, and she doesn't know how he will react after hearing it.

To be honest, she was very nervous.

"The green light is on." Shen Jianian caught a glimpse of a white car moving slowly in front of him out of the corner of his eye, and the words turned into a reminder.

Fu Jichen squeezed her fingers, held the steering wheel again, and followed the vehicle in front of him.

He couldn't help but guess: "I went to the hospital and saw the condition of the patient, so I was in a bad mood?"

Shen Jia Nian pursed her lips, maybe for this reason. Seeing Bai's mother sick and weak, and hearing that Pei Fengnan was not going to die soon, she just felt that human life is sometimes too fragile.

"Well, her mother's situation is not very optimistic." Shen Jianian followed his guess and said.

Fu Jichen didn't have time to comfort her. Someone called and it was about work. He listened quietly for a while and gave his opinion: "Secure Lawrence first, and I'll come over after I finish the project here."

Shen Jia Nian heard that the person on the phone sounded anxious and spoke a long sentence in Chinese mixed with English. When Fu Jichen hung up the phone, she asked, "Are you going on a business trip?"

Fu Jichen: "I may have to travel abroad in the near future."

Shen Jianian knew that he was very busy and never had a clear idea. What he usually glimpsed was just the tip of the iceberg.In fact, he has to make decisions on all matters at home and abroad. He cannot make mistakes, otherwise he will lose more than just money.The brain is running at high speed all day long, and you have to think about the next stage of work when you are resting.

When he arrived at the place to eat, Fu Jichen stopped the car, pressed the buckle of his seat belt, turned slightly sideways, and looked at her carefully: "What are you thinking about?"

Shen Jianian was a little shy under his scorching gaze, and expressed her true thoughts: "I was thinking, you are really working hard."

Fu Jichen smiled half-heartedly, put his arm across the armrest box in the middle, and touched her face: "Do you feel sorry for me?"

Shen Jia Nian didn't say anything. He leaned over and gently rubbed the corner of her lips. His voice was low and slow: "If you don't speak, you will admit it."

His heart was beating too fast, and Shen Jia Nian felt increasingly unable to control himself. She was addicted to the gentle trap he gave her, and jumped in willingly, regardless of the consequences.

She didn't like this, but she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.

Opening his eyes, he saw the man's raised Adam's apple, rolling up and down, as if he was holding back something.She didn't dare to look any further and forced herself to look away. Her ears hidden in her hair felt a little hot.

"Get out of the car." Compared with just now, Fu Jichen's voice was a little hoarse.Shen Jianian pushed the car door open, and her legs felt weak the moment she landed on the ground. Fu Jichen walked around the front of the car and came to her side. He saw her embarrassment, but did not reveal it, and calmly held her waist tightly.

They went to a Western restaurant.

Walking into the revolving glass door, a tall and long-legged waiter came to greet you. He was wearing a black suit and made an invitation gesture: "Mr. Fu."

As you walk in, the waiters you encounter are all tall men over 1.8 meters tall. Their work uniforms are three-piece suits with black ties, giving them a British gentleman feel.

Thinking of something, Shen Jia Nian couldn't help but lower his head and smile.

Thinking that no one would notice, Fu Jichen happened to look towards her, caught the faint smile on her lips, leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "What are you laughing at?"

Shen Jia Nian coughed slightly and regained his serious expression. He said "It's nothing", but the smile in his eyes could not be hidden and was about to overflow.

Fu Jichen's interest was aroused and he was really curious. He put his hand on her lower back and squeezed: "Do you want to tell me?"

Shen Jia Nian was caught off guard and almost screamed, turning her head and giving him a sideways glance.

The waiter led them to an elegant small box. A meter-wide window was opened on the wall facing the door. The horizontal length was consistent with the wall. There were large green plants outside, and the scenery was fresh and pleasant.

The two sat down, Fu Jichen was still thinking about the question she had not answered just now, and persistently asked: "Tell me, what were you laughing at just now?"

Shen Jianian rested her elbows on the table, held her cheeks with both hands, and glanced at Fu Jichen with bright eyes: "I told you not to be angry."

"not angry."

"I think if you are not the boss of the group, you can come to this restaurant to apply for a waiter job." Shen Jianian said, "The height and appearance conditions are very consistent with the standard."

The waiter who came back was holding a menu in his hand. He happened to hear Shen Jianian's words and couldn't help but sweat for her, fearing that Mr. Fu would get angry.

The waiter cautiously raised his eyes and glanced at the man sitting there, holding his breath. In the end, he just snorted without laughing.

"How about I come here as a waiter to serve you exclusively?" Fu Jichen added.

In the presence of outsiders, Shen Jianian's face turned red. She was never as good as Fu Jichen when it came to talking skills, so she couldn't defeat him, so she simply pursed her lips.

The waiter breathed secretly and said at the right time: "Do you two need to order now?"

Fu Jichen raised his chin and gestured to Shen Jia Nian. The waiter understood, walked half a circle around the table, and spread the menu in front of Shen Jia Nian.

Shen Jia Nian was already hungry after walking for such a long time. She wanted to eat everything she saw: "Steak and foie gras, cheese-baked green dragon with pasta, creamy mushroom soup..." She looked at Fu Jichen and hesitated. Said, "I also want to order this black truffle pancake. The portion looks huge from the picture. I might not be able to finish it by myself. Do you want to eat it?"

Fu Jichen didn't say whether he wanted to eat or not: "Just order it."

Shen Jia Nian thought he liked food, so he added a black truffle pancake, and finally said to the waiter: "I want another bottle of sparkling wine."

Fu Jichen looked at her slightly surprised: "I'm driving and it's not appropriate to drink."

"I know." Shen Jianian said, "I ordered it for myself."

Hearing this, Fu Jichen was even more surprised: "Can you drink?" She has a body that makes her drunk instantly, and sparkling wine also has a certain concentration, so she might faint after drinking it.

Shen Jia Nian had her own plans. People said that drinking makes people cowardly. She thought it might be smoother to talk to him about terminating the deal after drinking some wine.

But she didn't explain at the moment, she just said: "I want to drink."

Fu Jichen didn't stop him, thinking that it wouldn't matter if he got drunk, since he was here, right?

He took the menu and flipped through a few pages, added two items, a sirloin steak and a refreshing vegetable salad, closed the menu and handed it to the waiter.

"Please wait a moment." The waiter held the menu and opened the door with one hand.

There were three or two girls passing by in the corridor. One of them inadvertently glanced in through the open door. When he saw someone he knew, he stopped immediately and greeted with a smile: "Brother Jichen, what a coincidence, you are too." Eat here?"

Fu Jichen raised his eyes and looked out, nodding lightly.

When the waiter saw this, he did not close the door of the private room in a hurry. He nodded to several customers in the corridor and left first.
