He was completely lost, unable to differentiate between reality and imagination.
Apart from his distress, most of the time, he was conflicted. He even wanted to go to that alley and see if he could find any more clues.
Shang Jin quickly found out that Zhang Xianzhe didn't leave on time, but he hid his hunger and didn't tell Jian Ning about it.
However, he wasn't sure. It was better not to say it out loud.
In the evening, Shang Jin returned to the villa in displeasure. When he saw Jian Ning, he immediately wrapped himself around him like a piece of candy.
"What's wrong?" There was still some dry paint on Jian Ning's body. She raised it stiffly and looked at him.
Shang Jin rubbed his hands on her shoulder, then said again, "Those people from the Liu Family are causing trouble for your husband, I really want to kill them directly."
The moment he heard the word "husband", Jian Ning couldn't help but blush. Ever since he came back from the outside, he had always self-proclaimed himself to be his husband, and refused to change it no matter what he said.
"I've become a pauper, will you still be with me?" Seeing that she had not spoken a word, Shang Jin asked curiously.
But when he raised his head, he saw that Jian Ning was still in a daze, and fury welled up in his heart.
"What did you just say?" After a long time, Jian Ning finally regained his senses and asked curiously.
In that instant, he felt another rock block his chest, and he felt like he was about to suffocate.
Ye Zichen let go of her with a hint of annoyance, while his expression also turned cold for once, as he turned his back to her.
"Continue painting, I still have some matters to attend to."
Looking at his hurried back figure, Jian Ning couldn't help but frown. Could it be that he said something wrong just now?
But she remembered that she didn't seem to say anything. It must be his own problem.
Jian Ning helplessly sighed, and continued to draw, in an instant he had forgotten that he needed to comfort Shang Jin.
Early morning of the second day, Jian Ning woke up and subconsciously touched the side. She suddenly realised that the blanket was already cold, and she immediately woke up.
When she sat up from the bed, she even intentionally stretched out her neck and swept her gaze around the room, but she did not see Shang Jin.
"You're really angry?" she asked to herself. It seemed that Shang Jin was a little angry when he came in yesterday.
When she thought of that hypocritical man, she felt a burst of anger in her heart. She didn't understand. Was it really necessary for a grown man to act like this?
"A man needs to be tidied up." She sighed with emotion before slowly sitting up from the bed.
She put on some good clothes before getting someone to prepare a car for her to go to the emperor.
When she arrived at the entrance of the Di Clan, she let out a long sigh before carrying a box of food with her.
If she looked back, she might see a man following her.
Although that person was dressed like a passerby, one could still tell that his eyes were different from the others. Even if one were in the crowd, they would be able to tell at a glance.
And this person was someone who had followed Jian Ning before.
After seeing Jian Ning enter, he tilted his head and said to the walkie-talkie that was hidden on his shoulder: "He has entered."
"Alright, I understand." Ye Zichen didn't know what the person on the other side said, but he nodded, looked at Di Yi, and left.
Jian Ning walked into Shang Jin's office. At the moment, he was in the middle of a meeting in the conference room.
When she saw the photo of herself on his table, she couldn't help but laugh, and in her heart, she could also feel Shang Jin's feelings towards her.
"What a fool."
When Shang Jin came in, it was already noon. Jian Ning got a little impatient from waiting so he laid on the sofa and fell asleep.
Upon entering and seeing such a beautiful scene, Shang Jin unconsciously swallowed his saliva, and looked outside again. Only then did he carefully close the door, walk towards her, and squat down.
Just as he reached out his hands to hug her, Jian Ning felt someone coming over, and blurrily opened his eyes.
Seeing that it was Shang Jin, she immediately relaxed her guard and subconsciously reached out to hug him, "What time is it?"
"It's still early. Sleep for a while longer, I'll wake you up when it's time to eat." Shang Jin's voice was very gentle, like a lullaby. Not long after, Jian Ning fell asleep on his shoulder.
After placing her in the resting room, Shang Jin walked out with a cold face. He then walked to the door and said to the people outside: "Why didn't Jian Ning notify me when she was here?"
If he had known that Jian Ning had come, he wouldn't have ignored her and held such a meeting for so long.
"Yes, sorry, I thought you were busy, so I told Miss Jane to wait for you inside."
"Notify me as soon as she comes in the future." Shang Jin was too lazy to bother with him. She rolled her eyes and went back to take care of business.
Zhang Xianzhe walked aimlessly in the alley before, wanting to find some clues. However, everything seemed to have disappeared into thin air, leaving him with no clues at all.
"Dr. Zhang?" Jian Xingfeng looked at the somewhat familiar back view, and puzzledly shouted.
Hearing the voice, Zhang Xianzhe immediately turned and smiled to Jian Xingfeng.
"Hello, Uncle. I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon." When he saw Jian Xingfeng again, even he did not notice the excitement in his eyes.
Jian Xingfeng looked at him suspiciously, not understanding why this young man came here three to five times.
"What is Dr. Zhang doing here?" Jian Xingfeng stared at him intently. If this man didn't have any other reason, he definitely wouldn't have let him walk out of here alive.
He touched his head shyly, looking as if he didn't know how to start.
"You only need to treat me as one of your elders. Furthermore, you and Jian Ning are very good friends as well. " Jian Xingfeng patiently consoled Zhang Xianzhe, he wanted to know his reason for coming here.
"Since uncle said so, then I won't hide it from you." To put on an expression of going for broke and blush, he said, "I don't have a job anymore. I just want to take a bunch of pictures to go to the exhibition and see if I can get a spot. "
So it was for this purpose. Jian Xingfeng looked at the camera in his hand and finally believed in him.
