Zuo Zixian felt that the high heels on his feet were too painful, and didn't care if Xiao Hua was beside him or not. Lowering his head, he took off his high heels, and immediately felt as if his whole body had been liberated.
As his feet relaxed, he felt his entire body relax. The aching pain in his body dissipated by a lot.
Rui Chenyang had never seen Zuo Zixian like this, and immediately felt like he had found a new surprise, strangely very interesting.
"Ling Yiheng wants you to be his companion?"
he asked, looking darkly at her pretty face in the warm yellow light.
Zuo Zizhen was stunned, he did not know how to reply, but he still nodded.
Rui Chen Yang looked at her without batting an eyelid, not revealing that he already knew she was being introduced as his fiancee.
"How long have you known him?"
Zuo Zixian did not know why Rui Chen Yang would ask such questions, but he felt it was a little strange.
"Three months."
"Then it seems that it's not too late for me to meet you."
He smiled, and his glass-like eyes shone with a gentle light when compared to the warm yellow light. It was as if his entire person was bathed in light and shadow.
Zuo Ziqian hurriedly retracted his gaze, and did not dare to answer his question.
That was a man's gaze towards a woman. Even though she had never experienced too much emotion, she could still feel it.
"Could it be that you like Ling Yiheng?"
Rui Chen Yang did not miss her sudden panic, and couldn't help but ask a question. His tone was a bit hurried, as if he was nervous.
Zuo Zixian raised his head and looked at him with a complicated gaze. "I don't want to talk about this."
"Then I like it."
There was a profound look in his eyes, but it also seemed to contain a faint loneliness.
"My relationship with him is not what you think."
Zuo Zixian tried to explain, but when he thought about it, there was nothing much to explain.
The relationship between her and Ling Yiheng was one that she could not speak of nor dare to speak of. It was too difficult to understand.
A hint of a smile appeared in his clear eyes, and he raised his eyebrows slightly. "You're not me, so how do you know what I'm thinking?"
Zuo Ziqian turned his face away, and a faint fragrance spread in the air, causing him to take a deep breath.
"You use Greek KORRES shampoo, yogurt."
He used a statement, and a faint trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.
"How do you know?"
Zuo Zixian looked over in surprise, he didn't expect him to know the brand he was using.
This brand was actually very small and wasn't very expensive, but she had used it for many years, so she simply liked it.
"Because I also used this brand."
The smile on his face became even wider, and his eyes were filled with an unintentional tenderness.
Zuo Zixian subconsciously avoided his gaze, "I didn't know, so men like this brand too."
"I just saw this brand when I went to Athens that year and unintentionally bought it. I really like the taste of yogurt and wild roses, and they're all made of natural yogurt and Greek herbs. They make me feel very healthy and safe."
Rui Chen Yang's tone was casual, not at all uncomfortable because of her words.
It was true that this brand used more women, but that did not mean that no man liked to use it. Furthermore, this brand also used men's perfume.
Zuo Zisheng's gaze towards Rui Chenyang was filled with curiosity and admiration, he didn't expect a man to be so knowledgeable in skincare products.
Isn't he the CEO of the Billions City Corporation?
Why is she so keen on skin care?
"Is it strange?" I studied chemistry before I joined the Billions, so I'm interested in this. "
He saw her doubts and answered them for her.
Only then did the Left Scholar be enlightened, and he nodded his head in understanding.
Staring at her beautiful face, her mountainous eyebrows and her small straight nose, she felt a moment of disappointment.
Following which, she glanced past her and saw Ling Yiheng walking over from behind her.
Before Zuo Zixian could say a word to Rui Chenyang, Ling Yiheng had already walked over with a solemn face, his eyes slightly narrowed as if he was examining him.
"Hello, Director Ling."
Rui Chen Yang greeted him with a smile.
Ling Yiheng saw him sitting side by side with Zuo Zixian, and felt a surge of jealousy and anger in his heart. However, he was unable to vent it out, and could only glare at him fiercely, "Director Rui, you better know how to behave, stay away from my fiancée."
Zuo Zizhen was shocked, he didn't expect him to call himself his fiancee in front of Rui Chenyang.
She opened her mouth and covered it, wanting to say something. She looked at Rui Chen Yang, but her eyes became dim and she could not say anything.
Even if she was a fake fiancee, she had already made a deal with him before, so she shouldn't explain herself.
To let others think that she was his, Ling Yiheng's, fiancee, and to let her lose all opportunities to interact with other men, was this also what Ling Yiheng wanted?
But he didn't love her, so why did he have to be so serious?
"Oh, are you sure that Zixu is really your fiancee?"
Rui Chen Yang's beautiful eyes revealed a glimmer, her tone was calm, as if she was not moved by Ling Yi Heng's words at all.
Zuo Zi Wu felt his heart jump, he did not know what Rui Chen Yang meant by that, did he know?
But if he knew, how could he not tell her?
Ling Yiheng's pent-up anger was about to burst, "If I say she's my fiancee, then she's my fiancee. You better know who you are."
"Oh? I think she's free as long as she's not married. "
Rui Chen Yang's gaze was on him without fear, with a faint smile on his face, as if he was just chatting casually.
Ling Yiheng's handsome face was twisted as he approached Rui Chenyang, "Are you trying to rob my woman?"
Rui Chen Yang's body didn't move backwards, the two of them just stared at each other, one of them cold and the other calm, one seemed to be about to erupt, the other seemed to be out of water, calm and collected.
"Whether she is your woman or not is not up to you to decide."
It was this sentence that expressed his attitude.
"Enough, stop arguing."
Zuo Zizhen retracted the turmoil in his heart and could not help but open his mouth to stop him.
What and what?
She and Ling Yiheng were only a fake married couple, and Rui Chen Yang was their friend. Why did they have to make things so complicated?
"Zhi Wu, I'll send you back to the hotel."
Rui Chen Yang suddenly suggested.
As long as she asked, he would agree.
Moreover, he did not intend to quarrel with Ling Yiheng.
"She's my fiancée, you can't send her away!"
Ling Yiheng immediately protested, staring at him with his sharp eyes, as if he wanted to fight him to the death.
Zuo Zixian immediately felt a headache, but he was still secretly delighted in his heart.
Complicated emotions intertwined together, causing her to apologize to Rui Chenyang.
"Sorry, I'd better let him send me back. "Rui Chen Yang, thank you."
Her tone was sincere, but polite.
Apparently, she really just treated him as a friend.
Rui Chen Yang suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, smiled slightly, his face was still as calm as before, "Ok, I understand, then you need to be careful."
After saying that, he quietly glanced at Ling Yiheng, and before leaving, he whispered in his ear, "Director Ling, you better know what you're doing, don't hurt too many people."
Without waiting for Ling Yiheng's reply, he left in large strides.
Ling Yiheng frowned and looked at Rui Chenyang's back with a cold look in his eyes.
After which, he glanced at Zuo Zixian's bare feet and saw that her two big toes were blistered from the high heels and the other toes were red. One look was all it took to tell that they were hurting.
The man leaned over to help her pick up the pair of high heels and handed them to her, gesturing for her to get them.
Zuo Zixian immediately took it, but did not know what he meant.
He then carried her body horizontally and directly left the banquet site with her.
Zuo Zixian felt both surprised and shocked, he didn't know if he was nervous at her, or if he just wanted to show off to Rui Chenyang in this situation.
However, Rui Chen Yang had already left. If he was going to declare his authority, there was no need for him to do this.
Her heart was pounding, but she dared not ask.
She was afraid that it was not what she had guessed at all.
As soon as he returned to the hotel, Ling Yiheng placed her on the bed and made a call to the front desk customer service. Soon, the waiter brought him a external anti-swelling and pain ointment, which was said to be the best brand.
After Ling Yiheng gave the ointment the fee and tip, he sent the waiter away and personally took the ointment to help the Left Scholar apply the medicine.
She felt flattered, but at a loss.
He didn't know what he meant by that.
He had clearly been about to erupt like a volcano, but now he was treating her so well.
He … Was there really something that liked her?
This thought made Zuo Zixian's heart beat even faster, but he didn't know if his guess was right.
"You're not allowed to wear high heels for the next two days."
He ordered after he had finished wiping the ointment for her. Although this was Zuo Zixian's usual hateful tone, he didn't feel any disgust at the moment.
Because he knew that it was all for her own good.
"I know."
She tried to keep herself calm, not wanting to reveal her thoughts.
Afraid that he would find out and mock him.
"By the way, I'd probably like to book a plane ticket back to France the day after tomorrow. You don't have to be here."
she said suddenly.
The moment the words left his mouth, the entire atmosphere in the room froze.
Ling Yiheng was about to put down the ointment when he suddenly stopped. He raised his head and looked over with his eyes. His expression instantly turned ice-cold, as if he was sealed in ice.
