Ye Bingbing blinked mischievously. “That’s right. I’m paying attention to J Corporation at all times. After all, your new project’s spokesperson position is still empty. Of course I have to pay attention to such a good opportunity. Perhaps I’ll have a chance.”

After hearing Ye Bingbing’s explanation, Yuan Kai let down his guard. Coincidentally, the elevator arrived. The elevator door opened, and Ye Bingbing took the initiative to make way for Jiang Wenrui and the others to enter first. Jiang Wenrui nodded slightly as a form of thanks, then carried Xing Su in.

The elevator door closed, and Ye Bingbing was paying attention to Xing Su’s appearance. She probed, “CEO Jiang, is this your girlfriend? She’s so beautiful. What’s wrong with her? Is she drunk?”

Before Jiang Wenrui could speak, Yuan Kai answered first, “No, she’s…”

“Yuan Kai, you talk too much today,” Jiang Wenrui suddenly said. Yuan Kai’s face turned red, and then he lowered his head and stopped talking. At the same time, Ye Bingbing’s smile froze on her face. Jiang Wenrui was not reminding Yuan Kai, but she was reminding her. Jiang Wenrui had an attitude that said, “I’m not familiar with you. My private life has nothing to do with you.” Faced with this kind of situation, she did not know what to do next.

Ye Bingbing felt defeated, but she could only pretend that nothing had happened. She maintained a smile until the elevator stopped on her floor. Then, she smiled and said, “I’ll stop here, CEO Jiang. Goodbye.” With that, she ran out.

After getting out of the elevator, Ye Bingbing was glad that she did not embarrass herself too much. However, she had gotten the answer she wanted. Although Yuan Kai had only said half of it, the woman was not Jiang Wenrui’s girlfriend, so she still had a chance.

…

After Jiang Wenrui and Xing Su arrived, Yuan Kai left.

When Xing Su was placed on the bed in the guest room by Jiang Wenrui, she was already unconscious. She was no longer as bold as before and was very obedient.

Jiang Wenrui took off his suit jacket and threw it on the chair at the side. He looked down at Xing Su, who was sleeping soundly on the bed without any precautions. He thought to himself, ‘If it wasn’t for me today, would she be home with a stranger now and lying in someone else’s bed, at the mercy of others?’

Jiang Wenrui was shocked when he thought of this. What did it have to do with him whose bed Xing Su was lying on? He frowned and felt a rare irritation. Even so, he bent down and covered Xing Su with the blanket. At the same time, he saw the bite mark on the back of his hand.

Old Chief Xing had said that Xing Su had a habit of biting people since she was young. Now that she was already so big, it seemed that this bad habit could not be cured. He rubbed the bite mark on the back of his hand. Seeing that it would not disappear for a while, he simply could not be bothered.

Jiang Wenrui took a shower, took a few calls in his study, and dealt with some company emails. When he returned to the bedroom in his sleeping robe, it was almost midnight. The bedroom was dim, and his brain, which had been thinking about work, stopped. The night scene suddenly jumped into his mind, and her soft lips brushed against his cheek…

Jiang Wenrui subconsciously reached out and touched the place where Xing Su had kissed him. For some reason, he felt as if something had gently scratched his heart. It itched, and there was an indescribable comfort. After a moment, he had no choice but to force the image out of his mind and replace it with those tricky jobs. However, for a moment, he could not analyze whether the job was more difficult or Xing Su was more difficult.

Fortunately, Jiang Wenrui’s exhaustion from running around the whole day made him gradually give up on thinking. He let down his guard and lay down on the bed. However, the next moment, he touched a leg…

This leg was soft and smooth. Unlike a man’s roughness, it was a woman’s unique softness. Jiang Wenrui’s nerves tensed up and he suddenly jumped up from the bed. The next second, the lamp lit up!

Jiang Wenrui propped up a long leg and sat on the bed. He looked at the person who suddenly appeared under the blanket in disbelief. Xing Su was still in a deep sleep. The dark gray blanket almost buried her. If not for a strand of long hair peeking out from the edge of the blanket, it would be very difficult for her to be discovered.

Jiang Wenrui’s temples throbbed. He did not understand why Xing Su would appear in his room. Wasn’t she sleeping in the guest room?

Jiang Wenrui’s face was filled with frustration. He reached out and lifted his blanket. The next second, he was stunned. He saw Xing Su curl herself up into a large shrimp and sleep on his bed. Her fair skin glowed softly under the light of the lamp, sleeping soundly.
