Jiang Zhi turned back, looked at the rose - red mark on her shoulder, pursed her lips, and said, "It's okay. I'll just use concealer to cover it."
As she spoke, she went to get her handbag, pulled the zipper, and rummaged for the concealer.
Fortunately, due to her profession, she always kept a concealer in her handbag in case of emergencies for the artists.
However, just as she opened the concealer cap, there was a knock on the door and Zhou Xu's voice outside.
"Mr. Shang, the clothes are here."
"Come in."
Zhou Xu pushed the door in, holding a coat in his hand. He respectfully handed it to Shang Chi and quickly retreated.
A qualified assistant, of course, can't disturb the boss and the boss's wife when they are in love.
When necessary, they should even give a helping hand.
Jiang Zhi looked at the black coat in the man's hand.
She couldn't help but mutter in her heart. Although the air - conditioning in the room was a bit cold, based on her understanding of the man's physical fitness, there was no need to wear a coat.
When the coat fell on her shoulder, it turned out that the man really didn't need it.
And she was forced to need it.
Shang Chi looked down at her, adjusting the coat for her. His voice was low and clear, "Compared to concealer, I think the coat is more suitable. The air - conditioning outside is just right for keeping warm."
"Zhi Zhi, what do you think?"
The man deliberately lowered his voice a few notches, his tone slow, slightly lingering, and bewitching.
The fabric of the coat was very special. It wasn't very thick. Wearing it wouldn't make her feel hot, but just right.
Thinking that the curve outlined by the cheongsam was too eye - catching, Jiang Zhi thought it was good to wear it. She whispered, "I'll listen to you."
Shang Chi got a satisfactory answer. The corner of his eyebrow slightly raised. He lowered his head and kissed her red lips, his tone ambiguous, "Is your period over?"
The topic changed a bit too fast.
Jiang Zhi was first stunned, then a blush quickly spread on her face. She raised her beautiful fox - like eyes and glared at him, whispering, "Didn't you feel it just now? Why are you still asking..."
The man seemed to be in a very good mood. A low laugh rarely came from his throat, "Wait for you in the parking lot after the banquet. Let's go home together, okay?"
Jiang Zhi nodded shyly, "Okay."
Coming out of 1001, Zhou Xu led Jiang Zhi down the elevator.
To help, Zhou Xu started a conversation, "Madam, was the durian taste good last time?"
Jiang Zhi was stunned for a moment, thinking of the durian she had eaten with painful periods five or six days ago. She smiled and said, "It was very sweet and fragrant. It was delicious."
Zhou Xu grinned, "That's good."
He changed the topic, "Mr. Shang is the kind of person who vomits at the smell of durian. He actually asked me to buy durian and send it to the No.7 Courtyard. He really cares about you."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhi looked at Zhou Xu in surprise, "Does he react so strongly to durian?"
He looked like nothing had happened that day, and she thought he just didn't like durian.
She didn't expect him to react so strongly to durian.
So, did he go to the study that day to vomit?
Zhou Xu looked serious, not like he was lying, "Yes, Madam."
"All the employees of Shang's Group know that no one dares to eat durian in the office."
Jiang Zhi pursed her lips and didn't say anything. Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her face thoughtful.
While she was thinking, the "ding" sound of the elevator arriving at the first floor pulled her back to her thoughts.
She raised her foot to go out, opened her mouth to thank Zhou Xu, but when she looked up, she met Lin Yanyan who was waiting for the elevator next to her, with a mischievous look in her eyes.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu politely said goodbye to Jiang Zhi, "Miss Jiang, if there's nothing else, I'll go up first."
Jiang Zhi nodded politely.
After Zhou Xu left, Lin Yanyan immediately came over, hooked Jiang Zhi's hand, and smiled mischievously, "Tell me, were you just sneaking around with Assistant Zhou? I saw you pressed against the French window."
Although the overall view was a bit blurry, Lin Yanyan would recognize the back of Jiang Zhi in this cheongsam even if it turned to ashes.
Moreover, Jiang Zhi was the only one wearing a cheongsam at the whole venue.
Before Jiang Zhi could answer, Lin Yanyan continued, "The acquaintance you said you met at the Great Song Tea House last time, is that Assistant Zhou?"
Now recalling the Rolls - Royce she saw in the parking lot of the Great Song Tea House last time, it was probably Assistant Zhou who sent Jiang Zhi home in Mr. Shang's car.
Thinking of something, her eyes widened a bit, "Pulling Li Sulai out of the brand - sponsored second - tier VIP list was also Assistant Zhou helping you out, right?"
As she spoke, her gaze fell on the coat on Jiang Zhi, and she spoke again, "Tsk tsk tsk, Assistant Zhou is really possessive. This coat is down to your calves, covering you so tightly, afraid someone will see you."
Lin Yanyan made up a big drama based on the details, talking rapidly without giving Jiang Zhi a chance to answer.
Jiang Zhi pinched her eyebrows helplessly and said, "I have a normal colleague relationship with him. You just saw that we are very polite to each other. Do we look like we have an ambiguous relationship?"
Lin Yanyan didn't care, "You know how many real couples in the entertainment industry pretend not to know each other outside."
Jiang Zhi, "..."
That being said, it seems quite reasonable.
...She and the man were also one of them.
Jiang Zhi felt a little guilty and changed the topic, "Where are you going?"
When Jiang Zhi asked this, Lin Yanyan remembered the business, "Jiang Xinian is here. He's looking for you everywhere. I saw his face as black as if he was going to eat people. I'm here to warn you, afraid he'll do something to hurt you."
Lin Yanyan said it lightly and didn't mention that Jiang Xinian grabbed her neck backstage and warned her not to associate with Jiang Zhi.
Even though Lin Yanyan didn't say it, Jiang Zhi also sensed something was wrong.
Based on her understanding of Lin Yanyan's character, Lin Yanyan wouldn't specially come to tell her unless she encountered a more serious matter.
Jiang Zhi frowned and said, "Did he do something to hurt you?"
Jiang Zhi had always been perceptive. Lin Yanyan sighed, knowing she couldn't hide it, and confessed, "He was a bit excited, maybe stimulated, and grabbed my neck to warn me."
When Jiang Zhi heard this, her eyebrows furrowed more and more.
Is this really Jiang Xinian?
In her impression, Jiang Xinian's personality was relatively stable, always kind, and never had violent behavior.
However, Jiang Zhi definitely believed in Lin Yanyan. Although she didn't like Jiang Xinian, she wasn't someone who would frame others casually.
The only explanation was that Jiang Xinian's gentle appearance over the past three years was fake, and his violent nature was his true self.
Just like cheating, his appearance and personality didn't seem like he would do such a thing, but he did.
It could only be said that she was blind at the beginning.
Jiang Zhi held Lin Yanyan's hand, full of guilt, "I'm sorry for getting you involved."
Lin Yanyan shook her head, looking worried, "What silly thing are you saying? The most important thing now is you. I feel he's here for you tonight."
