Zuo Zixian walked out from behind the bookshelf. Seeing Ling Yiheng's gloomy expression and not saying a word, he took his bag and prepared to walk out.
"Halt." His voice was cold, and it sent shivers down one's spine.
She stopped as if she had lost control of herself and glared at him. "What are you trying to do? I'm going back to the hotel now, I don't have the time to waste with you. "
Of course, he didn't want to waste any more time with him, and it would be best if he didn't get involved at all.
"You stay here today. I'll take you away when I'm done with the files." He ordered her in a low voice, as if he were treating her as a subordinate.
Of course Zuo Zixian wouldn't be happy, his almond-shaped eyes were wide open, "Are you sure you're mistaken? I'm not your employee, and I have no obligation to listen to your orders. "
"If you don't want things between us to get to your mother so soon, you'd better be obedient."
She looked at him in disbelief, not expecting him to use his mother as a threat.
It was hard for her to imagine what kind of reaction her mother would have if she found out about the deal between her and Ling Yiheng. However, it couldn't possibly be a good thing.
She bit her lip and clenched her fists tightly. She tried her best to resist the urge to rush forward and punch him.
How could he be so infuriated? Shameless!
However, she really didn't care that he was shameless.
Forced to stay in his office, she looked at her phone in boredom.
"You can go to the sales department, there's a company selling red wine there." Seeing that she seemed to be very bored while sitting on the sofa, he suddenly blurted out this sentence.
He figured he wouldn't be able to leave until the afternoon, in case she got bored.
Hearing him talk about red wine, Zuo Zixian's eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly asked for his location before heading straight to the marketing department.
The sales department wasn't that big, so she quickly found the manager in charge of marketing the red wine. She didn't expect it to be a woman who was only a few years older than her.
Since he didn't want others to misunderstand, Zuo Zixian claimed that he wanted to know about the wine they were selling.
The marketing manager very politely led her to a room inside. There were many different wines displayed, ranging from medium to high quality. However, they were all decent looking and did not have any inferior quality red wine.
Zuo Zixian looked around with interest, then listened to the marketing manager introduce a few types of popular red wine, roughly understanding the domestic wine market.
She silently remembered what she heard from the marketing manager. She planned to wait until she got back before writing it down. It should be useful for the winery as well.
The marketing manager saw that Zuo Zixian also seemed to know a lot about red wine. After a while, the two of them started chatting happily.
Time passed unknowingly, and after Ling Yiheng finished dealing with the documents in his office and saw that Zuo Zixian had not returned, he personally went to the sales department.
When he arrived at the door where the wine samples were placed, he saw Zuo Zixian chatting with the marketing manager. Her face was brimming with energy and her eyes shined with focus as she pointed at the wine samples with the marketing manager.
At this moment, Zuo Zixian was completely different from her when she was with him. This made him truly realize her love and professionalism towards wine.
He stood at the door for about 10 minutes before he heard Zuo Zixian apologetically say to the marketing manager: "I'm so sorry, Manager Xia. I've wasted your time chatting about red wine with me."
"No, Miss Zuo, I am impressed by your expertise in red wine. I have learned a lot from talking with you today. Why don't we be friends? "
Zuo Zixian was very happy to exchange WeChat with the other party and also said that he would definitely cooperate with him in the future if there was a chance to.
When she and Manager Xia walked out together, they simultaneously saw Ling Yiheng, who was standing at the entrance.
Zuo Zixian's expression changed slightly, but before he could open his mouth, Manager Xia called out respectfully, "Hello CEO."
Ling Yi Heng just nodded his head lightly, giving her a reply, then looked at Zuo Zixian and gave her a look, before turning and walking out.
Zuo Zixian had no choice but to bid farewell to Manager Xia and followed him.
This time, the whole distribution department was in an uproar, discussing the relationship between this mysterious guest and the CEO.
As if aware that his actions might cause unnecessary trouble and gossip, she asked him as soon as they reached the elevator, "Why did you come to me? Aren't you afraid of people from your company spreading gossip? "
The man didn't seem to care at all. He casually looked at the numbers on the elevator and said, "Even the gossip headlines have appeared. What are you afraid of?"
In fact, he wished that he could proclaim the world and let everyone know that Zuo Zixian was his, Ling Yi Heng's, woman, so that no one would covet her.
By not doing so, he was also taking into account her feelings.
Zuo Ziwang threw him a ball of hygiene and walked into the elevator that opened the door, not wanting to say a word to him.
"Go get your bag and come home with me."
What, home? "I don't want to go home with you. If you have anything to say, just say it, I want to go back to the hotel."
She didn't want to go to his house, as she didn't know what he was going to do to her. This man was a big devil, she didn't want to go to the Devil's Cave.
"You have no choice." He stood in front of her, waiting for her to compromise.
Thinking of the threats he made previously, Zuo Zixian's teeth itched with hatred, but he knew that he couldn't beat him.
"I'm warning you, don't do anything to me!" she declared, righteously.
The man snorted, but didn't give her a response.
When he saw that she obediently took the handbag and followed him to the parking lot, the man's face finally relaxed and he personally opened the back door for her.
The driver was already there, but he was not Zhou Heng.
Just as she sat in, Ling Yi Heng grabbed her hand, causing her to tremble.
Feeling the heat from his palms, she felt that it was really strange. His personality was clearly like a glacier, but why was the temperature in his hands so hot?
She felt uncomfortable all over, and her face reddened a little. She wanted to avoid him, but the man's grip tightened so tightly that she couldn't move anymore.
In the end she gave up and let him hold her hand. Fortunately, he didn't do anything out of line, which made her secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Ling Yiheng seemed to be very satisfied with her rare obedience, but he didn't know how Zuo Zixian was currently scheming in his heart on how to escape successfully, and how to escape from his control.
He looked at the man's handsome face from the corner of his eyes and thought that if the man knew what was going on in his head, he would definitely go into a rage.
"I've already ordered some people to prepare some food. Eat more later. Your body has just recovered and needs to be nourished." His tone was neither fast nor slow, but one could hear the concern in his voice.
Zuo Zizhen did not answer, but his attitude towards Ling Yi Heng became more and more complicated.
The moment he raised his eyes, the car had already stopped in front of a simple yet dignified European villa.
The driver walked out and opened the door for them. Ling Yiheng pulled Zuo Zixian out of the car. She wanted to shake his hand off, but she didn't want to argue with him in front of others.
Zuo Zisheng's small movements did not escape Ling Yi Heng's eyes, his eyebrows slightly bent, his lips revealed a faint smile, which was so faint that no one noticed.
It seemed like there could still be moments of harmony between them.
"Mister Ling is back." Just as he entered, he saw a middle-aged woman with a friendly face walk out to greet him.
Ling Yi Heng nodded his head before introducing, "Auntie Yu, this is Zuo Zixian, the guest I spoke to you about before."
"Zuo Zixian, this is Auntie Yu. I usually have her come over to clean and occasionally cook."
Aunt Yu enthusiastically greeted Zuo Zixian and didn't forget to size him up as she smiled at him.
Although Zuo Zizhen felt it was a little strange, he felt that perhaps this person treated others this warmly, so he didn't think too much about it.
"Mister Ling, Miss Zuo, the food is ready. You can start eating now."
Ling Yiheng knew that Zuo Zixian must be hungry by now, so he pointed to the bathroom and told her to wash her hands before telling Auntie Yu to prepare the dishes.
During the meal, the Left Sage deliberately chose the seat closest to the edge, wanting to avoid being in close proximity with Ling Yiheng.
However, as if he wanted to go against her, he just happened to sit beside her.
She felt a bit stuffy, but she knew that on his territory, her resistance was meaningless.
When he looked at the dishes on the table, they were all his favorite.
She looked at him suspiciously, her eyes questioning, but in the end she said nothing.
Ling Yiheng raised an eyebrow. Seeing that she did not use her chopsticks, he picked up a few dishes for her and placed them into her bowl. "You've just been discharged from the hospital. Eat more."
She curled her lips and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she still lowered her head and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
Not long after, her bowl was filled to the brim with the dishes that Ling Yiheng had picked up.
Ye Zichen initially wanted to tell him not to pinch the food, but somehow he felt like his appetite was especially good today, and he actually finished all of the food.
It was the same feeling he had when he was eating with Song Yunzhi.
She had a nagging feeling that something was off.
"I'm done eating. I want to take a walk outside." After putting down the empty bowl, Zuo Zixian said, but he did not look at Ling Yiheng.
Seeing that he didn't object, she walked out.
She thought that Ling Yi Heng would follow after her, but she was wrong.
But the thought that he seemed certain that she would not dare to run away made her angry, as if she could only be eaten alive by him.
