Zhan Ruofeng agreed to cooperate, and the rest was easy to discuss.
As the two were finishing their conversation, Ye Zhi's phone suddenly rang. Seeing that the call was from Qi Xuan, Ye Zhi felt a little surprised.
She apologized to Zhan Ruofeng and then walked aside, pressing the answer button.
"Ye Zhi, I'm sorry, did I disturb you?" Qi Xuan asked in a low voice.
"No, no, I just finished talking," Ye Zhi asked curiously, "Is something wrong?"
"It's a bit embarrassing to say, I was just talking business with a client and had some drinks, so I probably can't drive back," Qi Xuan asked nervously, "When you go back, can you pick me up?"
"Of course, no problem!" Ye Zhi agreed readily, "Where are you now?"
After Qi Xuan gave his location, Ye Zhi hung up the phone.
Ye Zhi walked back and said with a gentle smile, "Mr. Zhan, it's getting late. We can discuss the details tomorrow."
"Alright," Zhan Ruofeng nodded, "Miss Ye, I'll see you home."
"No need, I can go back by myself," Ye Zhi refused.
"Miss Ye, my upbringing does not allow me to let a lady go back alone at this hour. Especially a young and beautiful lady," Zhan Ruofeng said with a slight laugh.
"I really don't need it," Ye Zhi waved her hand, "I'm not going back alone. I always bring two bodyguards with me! They sit in the front, and I sit in the back. It's very safe!"
Zhan Ruofeng: ...
Miss Ye, do you have no romantic bone in your body?
"Please let me take you. We are partners, and I would feel uneasy if I couldn't ensure your safe arrival home," Zhan Ruofeng insisted.
"Alright then," Ye Zhi no longer refused, and she said, "But I need to pick up my neighbor first. He's drunk and can't drive, so I'll give him a ride."
Zhan Ruofeng was slightly stunned. Ye Zhi's neighbor? Who could that be?
It seemed they had a good relationship. Should he also try to build a good relationship with this neighbor?
"Miss Ye, you are truly kind-hearted," Zhan Ruofeng praised.
"He's different," Ye Zhi smiled faintly.
After that, the two left together.
Ye Zhi's car was in front, and Zhan Ruofeng's car followed unhurriedly.
Along the way, Ye Zhi suddenly stopped her car and went to a roadside milk tea shop to order a cup of honey water.
Although Zhan Ruofeng was puzzled, he didn't think much of it.
At the same time, Qi Xuan sat by the large floor-to-ceiling window of the restaurant, looking at the scenery outside and letting out a wry smile.
He admitted that he was truly anxious.
Zhan Ruofeng was also excellent and more mature, and in the future, he would be collaborating with Ye Zhi. Their interactions would inevitably be frequent.
He was genuinely worried that Ye Zhi might develop feelings for someone else and fall for another cat.
Therefore, even though he had always disdained using any tricks, he couldn't help but devise a small plan this time.
He hadn't expected Ye Zhi to agree so readily. It must be that Ye Zhi felt differently about him, right?
Suddenly, a familiar car caught his eye. Qi Xuan abruptly stood up and left the restaurant.
The car stopped, and Ye Zhi got out. Seeing Qi Xuan coming out of the restaurant, she walked towards him holding the honey water.
"Qi Xuan!" Ye Zhi smiled gently and handed him the honey water, "I read online that honey water can sober people up, so I specifically bought you a cup on the way!"
"Thank you," Qi Xuan felt a warmth in his heart, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.
"Why be so polite between us?" Ye Zhi smiled faintly.
Zhan Ruofeng, who had already gotten out of his car, watched the scene unfold before him in stunned silence. So...
Ye Zhi's neighbor was actually Qi Xuan?!
And seeing how familiar they were, their relationship was clearly not ordinary! Especially Qi Xuan, the way he looked at Ye Zhi was so tender it was almost melting!
Moreover, Ye Zhi's attitude towards Qi Xuan was completely different from her attitude towards him. In front of him, Ye Zhi was purely professional, but towards Qi Xuan, she was more casual and relaxed.
Zhan Ruofeng suddenly felt as if his heart was breaking into pieces. His flower of love, it seemed, was already showing signs of wilting before it had even had a chance to bloom.
Sister, your brother has misunderstood you...
"Mr. Zhan," Ye Zhi turned around, "I've picked him up. You two should know each other, right?"
"We do," Qi Xuan replied, "Mr. Zhan, are you taking Ye Zhi home? It's fortunate I'm getting a ride today, thank you for your trouble."
Zhan Ruofeng: ...
Now he was supposed to drive them both back? How did he feel like a complete fool?
"Young Master Qi doesn't seem very drunk?" Zhan Ruofeng couldn't help but want to expose his trick.
"Yes, but I can't drive after drinking," Qi Xuan said.
"Right, right, right, you must obey traffic rules!" Ye Zhi nodded in agreement.
Zhan Ruofeng: ...
So disheartening!
Qi Xuan suddenly lowered his head and took a sip of the honey water, smiling slightly, "Ye Zhi, the honey water is very sweet. Let's get in the car. Thank you, Mr. Zhan."
Zhan Ruofeng: ...
This is infuriating, this green tea man! So women can't even spot a green tea player?
Ye Zhi and Qi Xuan got into the car, and Zhan Ruofeng reluctantly followed their car.
Upon arriving at the villa on the mountainside, Qi Xuan thanked Zhan Ruofeng again before letting him leave.
Ye Zhi walked Qi Xuan to the outside of his villa and couldn't help but say, "Your relationship with Zhan Ruofeng seems quite good! I feel like you two get along very well!"
Qi Xuan: ...
Which eye of hers saw that their relationship was good? Even if their relationship was okay before, it would be hard to say now.
"It's alright," Qi Xuan said indifferently.
"You should go back and rest early. If you need my help in the future, don't hesitate to ask," Ye Zhi patted her chest and promised.
"Okay," Qi Xuan smiled faintly and agreed.
He returned to the villa and saw the butler and maids waiting for him with happy faces.
"Young Master, was it successful?" the butler asked with a smile.
"Yes, it's been resolved," Qi Xuan's lips curved slightly, believing that Zhan Ruofeng would no longer have designs on Ye Zhi.
Qi Xuan held the empty honey water cup and looked expectantly at the butler, "Ye Zhi came to pick me up. She must have me in her heart, right?"
"Don't delude yourself!" The butler said dismissively, "That's just Miss Ye being kind! If Miss Zhan asked her to pick her up today, do you think Miss Ye would go? She'd probably run faster than this time!"
Qi Xuan: ...
Does she have to be so heartbreaking?
"Also," the butler continued, "Miss Ye will definitely take Miss Zhan home directly, and they'll sleep together tonight!"
Qi Xuan: ...
It's time to consider changing the butler.
Zhan family.
Zhan Ruofeng returned to his room and wearily untied his tie. Zhan Li walked in.
"How did your talk with Ye Zhi go tonight?" Zhan Li asked expectantly.
