Afterwards, Jiang Yan went out for an outdoor shoot and left Ruan Jiang Lin alone in the hotel room for three days.

  His company is very busy and he has a lot of things to do every day. Every time Jiangyan comes back, she almost always runs into him having video conferences.

  "Ruan Jianglin, either you leave."

  Jiang Yan stood in front of him, he had just finished a meeting.

  He looked a bit tired, many things couldn't be dealt with immediately, so they could only be piled up until the evening, so he often stayed up late.

  Ruan Jiang Lin stretched out his hand and pressed his temples, "Drive me away?"

  Jiang Yan shrugged, indicating she didn't mean it that way.

  "If you want to think that way, I have no choice."

  Ruan Jiang hooked up the corner of his lips and stood up.

  Jiang Yan had just finished her bath, her long hair dripping wet. Ruan Jianglin approached her as she walked away, taking the towel from her hand and gently wiping her beautiful hair dry.

  "Jiang Yan, are you a slag girl?" He asked slowly without stopping his movements.

  Jiang Yan was taken aback for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and smiled, her slender eyes clear and enchanting.

  "It wasn't you who taught me, was it?" She said with a soft snort, stretching out her index finger to poke at the man's chin.

  Ruan Jiang Lin grasped her restless hand and pressed himself against her, pinning her against the office desk.

  The desk was a bit hard and pressed against her waist, which hurt a little.

  "Ruan Jianglin, I haven't agreed to you yet." She stared straight at the man's peach blossom eyes, his enigmatic and inscrutable gaze was filled with her smiling face as beautiful as a flower.

  Jiang Yan reached out and hooked her hand around the man's neck, pulling him forward.

  Ruan Jiang couldn't help but laugh, his large palm intentionally or unintentionally rubbing against her thigh.

  "Your legs and my waist have a good affinity."

  Jiang Yan smiled and pushed the man away, creating some distance between them. She then adjusted her own suspenders.

  *

  Jiang Yan stayed in Macau for a week and Ruan Jianglin accompanied her for a whole week, it's rare for him to be so patient.

  Because of him, even when Jiangyan's team went back, they all upgraded to first class, and she saved again.

  Every minute and every second of this man is money, wasting so much time on her, and going back to make up for it.

  He was busy for half a month and almost missed the previous bidding meeting. Jiang Yan thought it wasn't important because of his calm demeanor.

  As soon as he got off the plane from Macau back to Kyoto, his assistant and others were already waiting for him.

  Jiang Yan took the suitcase from his hand and before she could even grasp it, Ruan Jianglin suddenly pulled her into a hug.

  Jiang Yan didn't move, letting him hold her, he was too tall, she had to tiptoe to put her head on his shoulder.

  "Take care of yourself." he said in a low voice.

  Then slowly let go of Jiang Yan, and left.

  Just got off the plane and have to board again, pretty busy.

  He was very busy, originally if he came back last night, he could fly to New York overnight and would have made it on time.

  However, he insisted on accompanying Jiang Yan back today, and although the plane was not delayed, they still arrived late.

  This bid, Ruan had prepared for nearly half a year, originally thought it was a sure win, but ultimately lost to himself.

  Ruan Jiang leaned against the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, his legs crossed, and the night light shining through the curtains made him look even more desolate.

  He stood up and walked to the window, his long fingers still pinching a lit cigarette, with circles of white smoke dispersing from the tip, his smooth jawline exuding coldness, his back straight, and his perfect waist proportion not at all exaggerated, his entire body exuding the mature manly aura of his current golden age.

  He leaned down and looked out. This was the highest floor in this city, from here you could see all the scenery of this city. Tonight, it was dark and a bit frightening.

  The assistant stood behind him and could feel that the boss's surroundings were under very low pressure, even his breathing was very low, he rarely made this kind of mistake.

  Missing this bid, although it did not cause any serious harm to Ruan's family, it was no different from slowing down the speed of his previous step, especially for someone like Ruan Jianglin who pursued perfection. However, this could not be blamed on anyone, it was his own choice.

  He took a deep drag on his cigarette, feeling the smoke fill his lungs, and only then could he suppress the sense of defeat.

  He suddenly coughed violently, and just as his assistant was about to take a step forward, he stopped him.

  After coughing for a while, his eyes were slightly red.

  He extinguished the not-yet-finished cigarette in the ashtray, picked up the black suit on the sofa and put it over his arm, then left the conference room, followed by his assistant.

  *

  After Zi Jiangyan returned to Kyoto, she didn't see Ruan Jianglin for half a month, but she knew he was on a business trip in New York.

  He sends WeChat messages every day to ask about her, without asking anything specific, just showing concern for her daily life, but Jiang Yan didn't respond at all.

  She always took a glance and then it would go black again.

  She didn't know when he came back either, nor did she know that on the day the man returned, he had been smoking under her building for half a night.

  He had never experienced such a failure since he was young. They all said that Ruan Jianglin was a digital genius, and he himself thought so too.

  It's not narcissism, but he is indeed that capable.

  He made a name for himself in the industry, relying on his own abilities to secure a place for himself. The New York trip was one of the biggest setbacks he had encountered in all these years, and he felt somewhat depressed.

  Sometimes I take out my phone, hoping to get a little response from her, but there isn't any. On the contrary, he still has the nerve to show concern every day.

  He smoked for half a night, his whole body reeked of smoke, and the cigarette butts on the ground were scattered all over the place, making him look somewhat lacking in refinement.

  It wasn't until dawn when Ruan Jianglin suddenly felt a bit cold, as if he had never felt particularly cold before.

  Kanazuk, Ruan Jiang stood by the station for half a night and felt chilled to the bone. He cursed his mother and left.

  The next day when Jiang Yan went downstairs, she heard the cleaning aunt scolding someone while sweeping.

  "Don't know who has no conscience, cigarette butts all over the floor, really can smoke like a chimney."

  Jiang Yan didn't take it to heart and when she walked out, she found the man waiting for her. He had a strong smell of smoke on him, probably hadn't showered, looked a bit down, and was holding breakfast and coffee in his hand.

  Hand it over to her when she comes out.

  Jiang Yan didn't reach out to take it at first, and waited until his hand had been suspended in the air for a while before taking it.

  Took a sip of coffee, still hot, frowned: "Why is it American style?"

  Jiang Yan doesn't like American style, but Ruan Jianglin likes American style.

  "Don't you like it?" His voice was a little hoarse, probably from standing in the wind all last night.

  Jiang Yan didn't say anything, but she hadn't drunk even half of it yet.

  "Then I'll change next time."

  He hadn't shaved, but just for one night, and some stubble had already appeared, with a bit of vicissitude. Jiang Yan felt that his business trip this time was not very smooth, yet she didn't ask him about it.

  He drove her to the studio first and then returned to the Second Ring Center himself.

  His daily pick-ups and drop-offs had almost made Jiang Yan forget that he still had a driver.

  He was diligent and became Jiang Yan's driver, she didn't refuse either.

  Treasures, today I went out for dinner with friends and came back too late, there's still one more chapter, wait a bit longer for me.
