Rose Manor

Chapter 59
When the love reached its peak, the phone rang, and the lit screen stood out in the darkness.

Shen Jia Nian's consciousness was scattered and she couldn't gather her thoughts. Even after the bell rang for a long time, she didn't even react. She was too tired to move.

"Aren't you going to answer your call?" Fu Jichen's voice was right next to his ears, and he could clearly feel the heat of his breath.

When he said this, he had already turned over and helped her pick up the mobile phone on the pillow.

After staying in a dark environment for a long time, the screen was bright and dazzling. Fu Jichen subconsciously squinted his eyes, and a string of numbers without notes jumped into his eyes.

He answered the phone and cleared his throat, still a little hoarse: "Who is it?"

The person on the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, and asked with uncertainty: "Is it...Jia Nian?" She suspected that she had dialed the wrong number, so she held the phone in front of her to confirm that it was Shen Jia Nian's new number.

Shen Jia Nian said before that it was inconvenient and that he would contact her later. Bai Changxia waited for her on the phone for a long time, but when she didn't get a call back, she couldn't help but call.

The person who answered the phone was a man, his voice was low and slightly hoarse.

Bai Changxia was a little confused. It was so late. How could there be a man next to Jia Nian?Still holding her cell phone.

She searched through all the memories in her mind and was quite sure that she had never heard this man's voice before.

"Shen Jia Nian is asleep. Let's talk about anything tomorrow." Fu Jichen didn't know who this person was and didn't want to know.

Bai Changxia thought of Shen Jia Nian's temperament and worried that she was being bullied. His brain quickly calmed down and he made a decision: "Please give the phone to Jia Nian, I want to hear her voice."

Fu Jichen glanced at the man who was sleeping in a daze, as if he had lost all his soul. A smile appeared on his lips: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient."

"Jianian! Shen Jianian!"

Bai Changxia shouted through the receiver.

Shen Jia Nian heard a familiar voice in a trance, suddenly woke up from the edge of sleep, and murmured: "Xia Xia?"

When Fu Jichen saw that she was awake, he returned the phone to her, stood up, turned on the lamp, put on a nightgown and went to the bathroom.

"Jianian, are you listening?" Bai Changxia asked on the phone.

Shen Jia Nian hurriedly raised her phone and put it to her ear. Her waist was so weak that she couldn't sit up. She leaned sideways on the pillow and put a hand on her forehead, feeling annoyed that she had forgotten the agreement she had made with Bai Changxia.

"I'm listening." After she finished speaking, she realized that her voice was a little hoarse, unlike her usual voice.

"Who is that man?" Bai Changxia went straight to the point, "How come your phone is in his hand?"

"he is……"

Shen Jia Nian was asked how she should introduce Fu Jichen's identity and how she should explain her relationship with Fu Jichen to Bai Changxia.

She couldn't speak.

"Jianian?" Bai Changxia was extremely anxious.

Shen Jia Nian looked in the direction of the bathroom. The sound of water coming from the showerhead was pattering, as if it was raining lightly, and it was raining in her heart.

"Xia Xia." Shen Jianian said, "This matter is a bit complicated and I can't explain it in a few words. I will explain it to you slowly when I have time in the future."

"I'm very worried about you." Bai Changxia said.

Bai Changxia wrote these five words in every email because he was really worried about her.Shen Jianian blinked, holding back the sourness that was about to appear in his eyes again: "I know, I know it all. I'm fine now."

Bai Changxia was silent for a while and said, "Can you give me your address? I want to see you."

Shen Jianian hesitated.Should she give the address of Qiangwei Manor or Dongke's office building? These two places are where she often stays, but in truth, neither of them has much to do with her.

"Call me when you come to Yicheng and I'll pick you up at the airport." Shen Jianian took a step back.

"Okay, wait for my news." Bai Changxia breathed a sigh of relief. Jianian was finally willing to see her. This is more important than anything else. "You should go to bed early, it's already very late."

Hearing that she was about to hang up, Shen Jianian hurriedly said: "Wait!"

"what happened?"

"Don't tell Pei Che about my whereabouts." Shen Jianian almost blurted out the word "A Che".

As soon as he finished speaking, the bathroom door clicked, and Fu Jichen opened the door and came out.

Shen Jia Nian's heart suddenly tightened, wondering if he heard Pei Che's name.She didn't forget that every time she mentioned Pei Che, it would end up unhappy. "I know, I'll keep it a secret for you."

Although Bai Changxia is also Pei Che's friend, after all, he has a closer relationship with Shen Jianian, so he naturally treats her and puts her wishes first.

After the call was made, Shen Jianian held the phone and raised his eyes to carefully look at Fu Jichen's face.He lowered his head and tied the belt around the waist of his nightgown. He noticed a line of sight, raised his eyelids slightly, and looked at the person on the bed: "Did you do something wrong? Why are you looking at me like this."

This person is really scary!
Shen Jia Nian made sure he didn't hear her, breathed a sigh of relief, threw down the phone and lay down to sleep. The voice came from under the quilt: "No."

Fu Jichen raised his lips slightly, lay down next to her, raised his arms and pulled the person into his arms: "Who called? It sounds like he cares about you."

Shen Jia Nian told the truth: "My friend."

Fu Jichen didn't ask any further questions. He rubbed his fingers on her waist and abdomen. Feeling that she was hiding, he came over with his thin lips and kissed her. His tone was vague: "You look very energetic..."

The last few words have been hidden and replaced with actions.

Shen Jianian's refusal was obvious: "I haven't even finished my work!"

He originally thought that he would work overtime tonight and work for about two hours tomorrow morning to complete the task before noon, but his plan was completely disrupted.

It has happened twice. If she decides not to get out of bed tomorrow, she has promised Zhu Yilan that she will complete the work on time. She cannot be ashamed of herself.

"No..." Shen Jianian held his hand down, frowning with a determined expression, "I don't want to."

Fu Jichen had the time to joke with her: "When did you think about it?"

Shen Jianian said angrily: "It just won't work anyway."

She crossed her arms and hugged herself, in a defensive state. Fu Jichen suddenly became happy: "Shen Jia Nian, you dare to say no to your boss, you are getting bolder and bolder."

"I am a human being, not a bed warmer..."

"Okay." Fu Jichen frowned and interrupted her. If he continued to say words that would hurt others and himself, he would not like to hear them.

When his vision dimmed, Shen Jianian was stunned for a moment. When he realized it, Fu Jichen turned off the light and relaxed his whole body. However, the next second, his body was pulled into his arms again.

She was about to resist when she heard Fu Jichen say calmly: "Sleep."

*
The next day, Shen Jianian got up from bed at five o'clock in the morning and caught up on his work under the desk lamp, causing him to yawn non-stop during breakfast.

Zhou Rongzhen noticed it and asked casually with a smile: "Jianian didn't rest last night, okay?"

Shen Jianian glanced at the man opposite who was eating porridge slowly, smiled slightly, and acquiesced to Aunt Zhen's words.

Zhou Rongzhen put down a plate of xiaolongbao on the dining table. From the corner of her eye, she saw the curve of Mr. Fu's lips rising. She suddenly understood and looked a little embarrassed. She wiped her hands on her apron and walked quickly to the kitchen.

At 07:30, the two of them took a car to the company.

Shen Jia Nian closed his eyes and raced against time to rest while driving, but at this moment, his cell phone rang.

She took it out of her bag and found a call from Bai Changxia.

Shen Jianian glanced at the man beside him. He was leaning on the back of the seat, his head lowered, his eyes slightly closed, and his hands naturally resting on his legs, as if he was asleep.

Shen Jianian turned sideways and faced the car window. After connecting, he put a hand over his mouth and said in a low voice: "Hello?"

"Jianian, I will arrive in Yicheng at [-] noon. Do you have time?"

Bai Changxia couldn't wait a day. He booked a flight ticket after finishing his phone call with Shen Jianian last night, put down everything at hand, and rushed to the airport early this morning to fly to Yicheng to meet her.

Shen Jianian restrained his emotions and said "Yes": "See you at noon."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jianian sat upright and subconsciously turned his head to look at Fu Jichen. He didn't know when he opened his eyes and was looking at her with his chin propped up.

Shen Jianian said: "I have to pick up a friend at the airport at noon."

"Pei Che?" Fu Jichen was playful.

Shen Jianian said no, she was a little annoyed that he always mentioned that name, and her heart would beat suddenly when she was unprepared.
