Rose manor（玫瑰庄园酒店）

Chapter 38 Endearing

Zhu Yilan drove Shen Jianian back to Rose Manor, and the two of them were speechless on the way.

Zhu Yilan wanted to ask something several times, but after seeing the ashen expression on Shen Jia Nian's face, she swallowed all the words.

When getting off the car, Shen Jianian whispered thank you, entered the house, took the elevator upstairs, and locked himself in the room without disturbing anyone.

Zhou Rongzhen, who was busy in the kitchen, seemed to hear the sound of the door opening. She was not sure. She came out and took a look. When she didn't see anyone, she thought she was hallucinating. As she was about to go back to the kitchen, the doorbell rang.

Zhou Rongzhen wiped her hands and opened the door. She was stunned when she saw the person coming: "Secretary Zhu?"

"Is Mr. Chen at home?"

"Yes." Zhou Rongzhen took a step back to allow her to come in, "I went upstairs after dinner."

An extremely awkward look flashed across Zhu Yilan's face. The previous incident was always a shadow in her heart, and she no longer dared to intrude into Fu Jichen's private territory at will.

"I wish the secretary has something to do with your husband?" Zhou Rongzhen asked thoughtfully, "Do you need me to go up and tell him?"

Zhu Yilan gave her a faint smile: "It's not particularly important. Let's talk about it later. I'm sorry to bother you."

She turned to leave when she suddenly heard the sound of the elevator door opening. She stopped subconsciously and glanced over there. The person coming out of the elevator was Fu Jichen.

He was dressed casually at home, a dark gray flannel shirt paired with black trousers, indoor cloth slippers on his feet, and his movements were lazy and casual, as if a layer of cold outer shell had faded away, giving him a different kind of charm.

Zhu Yilan forced his eyes not to stay on that person for too long, so as not to reveal his inappropriate thoughts.

"Mr. Chen." She greeted calmly.

Fu Jichen glanced at her and quickly looked away, as if he was looking for someone. When he didn't find someone, he asked her, "Why are you alone, where is Shen Jianian?"

"Is she not here?" Zhu Yilan was confused, "I sent her back."

"Maybe he went back to his room." Zhou Rongzhen interrupted at the right time, "I vaguely heard the sound of the door opening before Secretary Zhu came in."

Zhu Yilan looked at Fu Jichen and hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Fu Jichen walked to the sofa and sat down, asking Zhou Rongzhen to make a cup of coffee. He would serve it later. He had to deal with some work matters in the evening and needed to refresh himself.

Zhou Rongzhen left the living room, and Zhu Yilan took a step closer and told him what happened in the store: "I don't know that woman. She looked like she had a problem with Shen Jia Nian. As soon as she entered the store, she deliberately targeted her."

Fu Jichen was leaning on the back of the sofa, a cigarette hanging from his lips, but he had not lit it yet.

Who has a problem with Shen Jianian? He didn't have to think too long and he already had the answer in his mind.

It seems that the lesson given to Yin Shuyao last time was not enough to make her remember.

Zhu Yilan was silent for a moment. He had nothing to say. He took out the black card from his bag, bent down and put it on the coffee table in front of him, and said goodbye to him: "Mr. Chen, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
