Suddenly, Lin Ru immediately thought of something.
Could it be...
Was it that incident?
Her face flushed, and she secretly glanced at Zhou Yi.
Although she had said it was an emergency situation before...
But after all, that unspeakable thing did indeed happen...
This wasn't something that could be easily overlooked.
Just thinking about it made her mortified!
Seeing this, Ye Nan Cheng thought she was blushing because of him, and even felt a little smug.
"Could it be that Sister Lin Ru also likes me?"
However, he didn't know.
What had the gentle and captivating Sister Lin Ru just gone through?
Not long after, Zheng Peng was also found.
While fleeing, he fell into a sewer, escaping pursuit but spraining his ankle and rendering him immobile.
It wasn't until the investigators arrived that he was rescued.
Upon reuniting, Zheng Peng felt utterly humiliated.
Seeing Lin Ru blushing in front of Ye Nan Cheng, he became even more furious.
"Damn it, why does Lin Ru blush just at the sight of Ye Nan Cheng!"
He hurriedly sought out Zhou Yi to inquire about the situation.
Zhou Yi, however, embellished the story, directly portraying Ye Nan Cheng as the hero who rescued the damsel in distress.
That's why Lin Ru fell for him at first sight.
He even spread his hands, indicating that he couldn't do anything about it.
Zheng Peng, upon hearing this, felt his anger surge.
Waiting until the case against Lin Ru was solved and the police called to inquire, Zheng Peng immediately sought out Ye Nan Cheng.
"Well done, I didn't expect you to gain such a great reputation this time!"
"But it's a pity, you chose the wrong opponent! Lin Ru is the woman I've set my sights on. Trying to steal her from me is like playing with fire!"
Hearing these words, Ye Nan Cheng understood his meaning perfectly.
But he smirked: "Haha, I can't decide who Sister Lin Ru likes, can I?"
"I think you'd better not cling to her!"
"You!" Zheng Peng was about to explode with anger.
"Alright, alright, alright, just you wait. Offending our Zheng family in the capital, you're finished!"
Then, Zheng Peng waved his hand and left.
On one side, Chu Yi, the victor behind the scenes, watched the two arguing, smiling without saying a word.
...
Later, Chu Yi and his companion returned home.
Lin Wanru had heard about what had happened. Seeing her sister Lin Ru return home, she anxiously asked all sorts of questions.
"Sister, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
"Those thugs didn't hurt you, did they? Tell me quickly, I was worried sick!"
Lin Ru smiled gently: "I'm fine, Uncle Yi protected me."
"If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would have..."
"I still want to thank him!"
Hearing this, Lin Wanru looked at Chu Yi: "Damn... Uncle Yi, did you really save my sister?"
Zhou Yi's eyebrows furrowed, his pride overflowing: "Of course!"
"As a descendant of a family of physicians and ancient martial arts practitioners, beating up a few petty thieves is nothing!"
"How about that? Am I amazing or not?"
"Uh..." After hearing this, Lin Wanru reluctantly said, "Then I should thank you properly, shouldn't I?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yi became enthusiastic.
He quickly moved closer to Lin Wanru: "That's not it, just as we agreed before, do as I please!"
"I risked my life to protect your sister, you can't go back on your word!"
"This..." Lin Wanru's face flushed upon hearing this.
But after all, it was her own words.
Besides, this rotten old man did indeed do his part in protecting her sister.
So, Lin Wanru nodded shyly: "Well... you can't be too strange then..."
"I'm afraid I can't handle it..."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
Later, Zhou Yi went to rest, and Lin Wanru inquired about Lin Ru's specific experience.
Lin Ru recounted the previous danger, which startled Lin Wanru.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, right, sister, I have something to ask you. Uncle Yi... he didn't do anything strange to you, did he?"
"He didn't do anything strange, did he?"
Strange movements?
At this point, Lin Ru couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
No, the previous incident couldn't be revealed to Wan Ru!
She had also made a careful agreement with Uncle Yi.
This was a secret between the two of them, absolutely not to be told to a third person!
So she shook her head: "No? Why are you asking this?"
"Ah, I was just asking casually, don't mind me." Lin Wan Ru also felt a little guilty, quickly giving a vague answer.
After the conversation ended, Lin Ru returned to her bedroom.
On the bed, she tossed and turned, her mind filled with thoughts of what had happened between her and Zhou Yi.
Although Uncle Yi was indeed a bit old,
but when protecting her, he seemed quite handsome?
"Oh dear, what am I thinking about! I need to go to sleep!"
She felt her face flush with embarrassment, quickly pulled the blankets over herself, and thought she needed to sleep.
But the events of the past kept swirling in her mind.
It prevented her from falling asleep for a long time...
...
The next day, Lin Wanru woke up very early.
In contrast, Lin Ru woke up late.
And she looked like she hadn't slept well.
Lin Wanru hurriedly asked her what was wrong.
Lin Ru blushed again, only saying that she had been a little frightened last night, so she hadn't slept well.
Lin Wanru was a little suspicious, always feeling that something was strange.
But she couldn't think of an answer.
In the end, she could only conclude it was an illusion.
After breakfast, Zhou Yi, as usual, followed Lin Wanru to the company.
As soon as she arrived at the company gate, she saw various people strolling around the entrance.
Looking closer, she recognized Su Changhao.
As soon as he saw Lin Wanru's car, he immediately went forward to greet her, proactively opening the car door for her: "Wanru, you've arrived!"
Lin Wanru didn't hesitate, releasing her legs wrapped in silk stockings, and got out of the car.
She looked at Su Changhao somewhat coldly: "What are you doing here?"
Su Changhao continued to smile: "I just came to see you... Oh, and this jade bracelet is for you."
Saying this, he pulled out a square box.
After opening it, inside was a jade bracelet with intricate patterns.
It looked quite valuable.
"This is made from a single block of Hetian jade, hand-carved by a master craftsman. Not only is it rare in the world, but it's also said to nourish the body!"
"Yesterday you seemed rather unwell, so I deliberately spent a fortune to buy it!"
Lin Wanru glanced at the bracelet and nodded slightly.
She seemed quite satisfied.
Seeing this, Su Changhao quickly moved closer: "How about I help you put it on?"
He was about to touch Lin Wanru's hand.
Lin Wanru immediately pulled her hand back, not letting him touch it at all.
Su Changhao instantly felt a little embarrassed: "That... Wanru, we're already engaged."
"But you won't even let me touch your hand, will you?"
Lin Wanru snorted coldly, "What? You gave me gifts just to touch my hand? What do you think I am?"
"You shouldn't just be lusting after my body, should you?"
"Then if you saw a woman more beautiful than me, would you do the same?"
Su Changhao immediately shook his head, "No, no! You misunderstood!"
"Wanru, listen to my explanation..."
On the side, Zhou Yi watched this scene, speechless.
No way? Su Changhao hasn't even touched Lin Wanru's hand yet?
To be such a sycophant, you really are something!
However, since Lin Wanru is so depraved...
I'll just have to do it, old man, and give this wicked woman a good "education"!
No need to thank me, it's all right!
On the other side, Su Changhao explained for a long time.
Lin Wanru, seeing that it was almost over, finally relaxed her tone slightly.
"Okay, then I'll accept your things."
"But let me tell you, don't lump me together with those vulgar people! I'm not a promiscuous woman!"
"I'll forgive you this time, but if you do it again next time, then I'll..."
Su Changhao quickly nodded and bowed: "If I'm blind again next time, then I'll... dig a hole and bury myself!"
Lin Wanru chuckled softly: "That's acceptable."
Just a smile, and Su Changhao happily accepted it.
He was still feeling smug.
Hehe, Wanru smiled at me! She definitely thinks I'm a good man!
At that moment, he suddenly remembered something.
"That's right, Wanru, I actually have something else to tell you this time."
Saying this, he took out an invitation card.
