Chapter 70

Cheng Jun: "..."

Tu Nan maintained his movements when he pushed the door open, with shoulders shrugged, lowered head, and a handsome face, he was surprised by his actions. His gaze wandered in the air. He looked like a righteous passerby who wanted to pretend that he didn’t saw anything but saw something and was embarrassed to stop it.

Tu Nan continued to ask in a low voice, "This (the situation) is not good?"

Ruan Jiu Jiu was about to explain.

Tu Nan continued to whisper: "How about ...... sister-in-law, you go home and then continue?"

Ruan Jiu Jiu said: "..."

‘God forbid Tu Nan doesn't get blocked by Cheng Jun’

Cheng Jun, who was seen by his subordinate in a "domestic violence" scene, was very calm. He slowly stood up on one hand and picked up the chair that had fallen to the side. Ruan Jiu Jiu asked with slight embarrassment: "Are you okay? Did you fall?"

Cheng Jun did not answer her but sighed quietly.

Ruan Jiu Jiu understood what Cheng Jun was referring to.

Realizing the uncertain atmosphere surging between the two, Tu Nan said sarcastically: "I just came in to talk about a less important matter. Since the boss is still busy, I will go out first."

The righteous passerby just slipped away, leaving the couple to look at each other.

Ruan Jiu Jiu was anxious for a while, and she forgot that her tongue was hurting: "...I'm sorry, is your body hurt anywhere?"

Boss Cheng promptly sold misery: "The whole-body hurts."

"Did you hurt your pelvis? Would you like to go to the hospital?" Thinking about it carefully, Cheng Jun once had a bone fracture on his hand because of her, even his shoulder was cut. Ruan Jiu Jiu became even more guilty.

She grabbed Cheng Jun's arm, and before she could take a step, her wrist was gripped, though only gently. Ruan Jiu Jiu staggered into Cheng Jun's arms. He put his arms around her back and brought her into his arms.

Cheng Jun's warm voice came from above her head: "It seems to be much better." He said this, but the strength of his arms did not loosen.

Ruan Jiu Jiu’s face blushed instantly.

This guy was looking for a reason to take advantage of her!

When she was being hugged tightly, Tu Nan who had left the door, turned back. He thought that domestic violence in the office was not very good. If it was seen by others, it will be difficult to handle it. He decided to persuade his sister-in-law to close the door before doing something.

Tu Nan knocked on the door and said, "That..."

Ruan Jiu Jiu:! !!

She subconsciously pushed Cheng Jun, and suddenly burst out with great strength while she was panicking. With one blow, Cheng Jun was pushed away. His back leg hit the chair, and the chair was overturned to the ground with a thud. Fortunately, the person was fine.

When Tu Nan came in, he saw the scene where Ruan Jiu Jiu pushed the boss far away with a slap.

Tu Nan was taken aback for a moment, and then whispered: "It’s not over yet?"

Ruan Jiu Jiu: "..."

Cheng Jun: "..."

When he returned home at night, Tu Nan sent a lot of heat-reducing [1] fruits with a nervous expression. As if he was giving gifts to the leader. He had good intentions. He was afraid that the boss would get beaten again when he went home. It was simply tragic!

Ruan Jiu Jiu looked at the trunk full of fruits, half of it was Lao Meng's specialties, and half of it was Tu Nan's good intentions. She fell into silence.

Cheng Jun sighed again in a quiet manner.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: "...I'm sorry."

Cheng Jun silently carried the fruits to the empty corner, silently returned to the study to continue working, silently ate his meal, silently washed the pot, and silently ate the fruit after. He did not say a word to Ruan Jiu Jiu. Ruan Jiu Jiu was a little apologetic at first and didn't know how to make up for it. After eating, Bai Longma suddenly went online and asked Ruan Jiu Jiu to go eat chicken [2]. Ruan Jiu Jiu then forgot about Cheng Jun's stubbornness and happily lay down and won.

The teammates who played with Bai Longma had good skills and took Ruan Jiu Jiu to eat chicken several times. She was very engrossed throughout the whole process and had a great time.

Cheng Jun was silent beside her, realizing that he was really completely ignored.

When Ruan Jiu Jiu finally finished eating chicken and got offline, she turned around and found that Cheng Jun hadn't left yet. He was sitting on the sofa, his head leaning on the pillow and tilted to one side, his eyes were closed, not knowing when he fell asleep.

Ruan Jiu Jiu was stunned for a moment.

It was already a little late to go to bed at this hour. If Cheng Jun sleeps on the sofa all night, he will carelessly catch a cold. Ruan Jiu Jiu leaned in and pushed his shoulder gently.

"Cheng Jun? Cheng Jun?"

Cheng Jun hmmed, rubbing his eyes lazily.

Ruan Jiu Jiu said: "Why are you sleeping here? Go back to your room and don't catch a cold."

Cheng Jun's eyes were sleepy, and his voice was a bit hoarse: "There are still things left to do."

Ruan Jiu Jiu uncertainly asked. " What? Is work not finished yet?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she fell into an embrace. Cheng Jun was familiar with this body temperature, the fragrance was very weak, but it still smells good. Ruan Jiu Jiu struggled for a while but failed, so she resigned to her fate and was hugged tightly.

He hugged her for a long time and didn't let go. Ruan Jiu Jiu was about to tell him to let go when Cheng Jun's slow voice came from above her head.

"Your back is so meaty."

Ruan Jiu Jiu: "...shut up!"

She knew he couldn't spit out ivory from his dog mouth! [3]

After a few days, her mouth ulcers finally healed. Ruan Jiu Jiu was in a good mood, and she smiled at everyone she met.

After experiencing the painful lesson of being on the boss's blacklist and being deleted several times, Tu Nan learned to wait for a while before entering. He knocked on the door and waited patiently for a moment before he entered the door. Cheng Jun was the only one in the office, working at his computer.

Tu Nan looked around; his sneaky movements caused Cheng Jun to glance up at him.

Cheng Jun: "What's the matter?"

Tu Nan lowered his voice, covered his mouth, and whispered: "Boss hasn't been beaten recently. I know that lowering the fire [4] is the most effective way. Let me tell you, this disease..."

Cheng Jun interrupted Tu Nan's words without raising his head: "Too little work recently?"

Tu Nan was surprised, and quickly redeemed the situation: "Actually, I'm here to report to the boss!"

Cheng Jun was indifferent: "Oh, just in time, work overtime today. Behave yourself."

Tu Nan: "..."

He really shouldn't have come in with the intention of watching the show! The boss is a wise and cunning person, how can he not see Tu Nan’s thoughts!

Ruan Jiu Jiu got off work early today and just wanted to go shopping in the shopping mall.

The driver dropped her off at the shopping mall and waited for Ruan Jiu Jiu downstairs. The personal driver was a very honest uncle, who usually drives without saying a word and has a very strict mouth. Ruan Jiu Jiu plans to bring some snacks and drinks to the driver after she finishes shopping. Even if he doesn't eat them, the children in his family will like them.

Ruan Jiu Jiu was used to shopping in a mall alone. The shopping guide girl smiled as soon as she saw her and respectfully leads Ruan Jiu Jiu to pick out clothes. Ruan Jiu Jiu saw that it was still early, so she strolled around for a while. When it was dark and the lights were on, she carried big bags to the car.

She gave the driver snacks and drinks. The uncle who usually does not say a word, in a very rare moment, showed a bit of embarrassment and said nothing.

Refusal after refusal, Ruan Jiu Jiu simply put it in the car and said nothing, which made the driver embarrassed to say thank you.

The car drove smoothly. Ruan Jiu Jiu was sitting in the back seat, she looked at her mobile phone. After thinking about it, she sent a message to Cheng Jun.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: What do you want to eat tonight?

Cheng Jun: What are the options?

Ruan Jiu Jiu: You know what, it’s okay. I’ll just make a porridge to drink at night.

Cheng Jun didn't reply for a while and seemed to be protesting passively. No need to imagine, Ruan Jiu Jiu’s mind immediately showed Cheng Jun’s depressed “dare to be angry but didn’t dare to speak” look.

Ruan Jiu Jiu almost laughed out loud.

The driver glanced at Ruan Jiu Jiu from the rear-view mirror, saw that her eyebrows were smiling, and couldn't help but also smile with a pursed lip. He turned on the music player, and a soft piano sounded in the car, letting the whole person's nerves relax.

The car drove smoothly in the dark, and the scenery on both sides of the road swiftly swept by, distorted into blurred silhouettes.

A black off-road car gradually followed.

Compared to the relaxed and happy atmosphere on Ruan Jiu Jiu’s car, the owner of this car had her face frozen. In the dark night, because of the excessively stretched muscles of her face, it turned out to be a bit more hideous. If Ruan Jiu Jiu could see the owner’s appearance at this time, she will surely exclaim in shock.

It was Xu Bi Ying!

After many days of absence, Xu Bi Ying’s face became paler and more haggard. If one year ago she was a decent and generous little beauty, now it’s like a long time ago, her face had withered, and her body is full of lifelessness.

Since the last time she used a trick to frame Ruan Jiu Jiu, she couldn’t make a counterattack. Xu Bi Ying’s only patron, Nangong Ao Tian, completely collapsed overnight. From an overbearing president to a hopeless second-generation trash. Similarly, Xu Bi Ying who was counting on her ability to turn over a new leaf, once again bets on the wrong thing, making her become even more depressed than the ‘her’ in her previous life for a while.

The more Xu Bi Ying lives, the more unwilling she was.

When Gu You left her, Cheng Jun was also thinking about that woman and disclosed their marital status.

‘What’s so great about that Ruan Jiu Jiu?’At the thought of this, Xu Bi Ying became even more angrier.

She came here today with the intention of dying together with Ruan Jiu Jiu.

She will drag her to die together!
