Shen Jia Nian raised his eyes, stopped moving his hands, his eyelashes trembled, and he couldn't hide his surprise: "Is it you?"
The man she met in the elevator.
At this moment, he took off an expensive haute couture suit and put on a smoky gray V-neck woolen sweater. The material was skin-friendly and supported his thin shoulder blades. The two curved collarbones were looming in the slightly open neckline. He was wrapped in two pairs of casual black trousers. Straight and long legs.
His face was as clear and cold as when he first saw it, like a god descending to earth.
Shen Jia Nian's heartbeat was beating fast. In the elevator, her attitude towards his apology was not friendly, which made her feel a little regretful in retrospect.
Fu Jichen observed her changing expression with interest, guessing that she must be preparing a heartfelt thank you. After all, he was the one who saved her from suffering.
As expected, Shen Jia Nian put his palms on the bed and sat up straight, thanking him solemnly: "Thank you for saving me."
Fu Jichen seemed dissatisfied: "That's it?"
The rising tone was clearly tinged with a hint of ridicule. The same was true for Shen Jia Nian when he was instantly pulled back into the elevator. The superior looked at the little person's posture and said to her: Miss, is this your attitude towards apologizing to others?
A similar scene happened again, but Shen Jianian did not feel any resentment. She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, bowed to him, and thanked him with the greatest sincerity: "Thank you very much for your rescue. If I have the chance, I am willing to do anything in any way." I repay you for saving my life."
The attitude is quite sincere.
Fu Jichen leaned lazily on the sofa, tapping the armrest with his fingers, savoring her words carefully, and then picked out the key points: "In any way?"
Shen Jianian responded softly: "Yeah, any way."
She waited quietly for this person to make a request, and a few seconds passed without any response.
Fu Jichen changed the subject: "I don't know your name yet."
"Shen Jia Nian." Shen Jia Nian answered the question in a very gentle and polite tone, saying word by word, "I will be praised and I will miss you."
She didn't ask him what his name was. It was obvious that he had a distinguished status. This kind of person generally didn't like others to mention his name casually.
Shen Jianian stood in front of him, two steps away from him. Although she tried her best to hide it, the movement of her fingers gently pinching the hem of her clothes still betrayed the truest emotion in her heart - embarrassment.
She was wearing his clothes, had her legs bare, and was in his home. All of this made her feel uncomfortable and she didn't feel confident talking to him.
The pure black shirt made her skin as white as porcelain. The contrast between black and white was sharp, stimulating people's eyes. The hem of his clothes could barely cover his thighs. When he bent over and stood up, the rise and fall of his chest flashed away, stimulating people's nerves.
This young woman's every move and look revealed an unconscious temptation.
In the silence, Shen Jianian's uneasiness gradually reached its peak.
Maybe God heard her voice and sent someone to rescue her.
"Sir, Mr. Lu is here."
The maid knocked lightly on the door and came in to report.
Fu Jichen didn't intend to stay in the guest bedroom for long, so he stood up immediately and politely said to Shen Jia Nian, "Have a good rest."
"Sir..." Shen Jianian spoke anxiously, not yet able to organize his words.
Fu Jichen stopped, his eyes fell back on her, waiting for her to finish speaking.
Shen Jianian did some mental preparation, and when he spoke again, his voice returned to its former gentleness and indifference, a little less reserved: "I'm fine now, so I won't bother you here any more."
Fu Jichen's eyebrows narrowed slightly, as if he was puzzled by her decision to leave in a hurry. There was a lot of commotion that night, and the person who was looking for her was definitely not a good person. Couldn't she have imagined what would happen if he left his territory?
"Have you thought about it?" Fu Jichen asked.
"Thank you for taking me in these days." Shen Jianian lowered his eyes, straightened his back, and did not change his mind.
She was awake and in good health. It was not like that to bother her in other people's homes.
Fu Jichen's voice was cold: "It's up to you."
After saying those two words, he stopped looking at her and went downstairs with one hand in his pocket.

Zhou Rongzhen carried a few paper bags into the guest bedroom and placed them at the end of the bed. She was respectful and kind to Shen Jianian: "My husband ordered someone to buy these urgently. I don't know if they will fit. You try them first. If they don't fit, I'll make another one." Think of ways to."
"I'm causing you trouble."
Shen Jia Nian said he wanted to leave, but he couldn't go out because of his shameful attire. He had to trouble the gentleman to buy some clothes for going out.
I'll find a way to repay him later.
Shen Jia Nian sighed softly, picked up his clothes and went to the bathroom to change into them. He was fully prepared from the inside out, and even bought a thick cashmere scarf.
I don't know if it was the gentleman who was thoughtful or the servant who handled the matter properly.
Shen Jia Nian changed clothes and came out. Zhou Rongzhen was arranging the bedding. He took a casual glance and was really surprised.
The girl who is in her best years has a slim figure and is wearing a pure white coarse knitted sweater. The oatmeal-colored woolen coat is slightly loose on her body, but it is appropriate. She wears it to give her a lazy and casual look. A black and white plaid scarf held up a face the size of a palm, with black hair shawl and bright pupils.
It's just that the face is too pale, and the color has not been restored after recovering from a serious illness.
Zhou Rongzhen couldn't help but feel pity, and asked her to keep her for her husband: "Why don't you stay a few more days? Your body has not recovered yet. The temperature has dropped recently, and it is easy for the condition to relapse if you go out to blow the cold wind."
"No." Shen Jianian shook his head and declined politely, "I've been bothering you for several days."
After going downstairs and passing the living room, Fu Jichen, who was talking to Lu Yanzhi, raised his head and met the eyes of the person who had gone down the last staircase.
Just as he was talking, Fu Jichen suddenly fell silent. Lu Yanzhi felt strange. He followed his gaze and turned back. When he saw Shen Jianian, he raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Hey, you are still here."
Shen Jianian walked step by step to the sofa where the two of them were sitting, said a brief goodbye, turned and walked out.
Fu Jichen didn't say a word the whole time, watching the man leave with cold eyes until the figure disappeared behind the closed door.
With her fragile body, let alone going anywhere else, she would faint as soon as she reached the gate. Fu Jichen called Qu Mo and asked him to drive Shen Jia Nian to where she wanted to go.
Lu Yanzhi was secretly surprised when he listened to his calm instructions.
Qu Mo is Fu Jichen's exclusive driver. After special training, he has extraordinary skills and can fight a group of people alone. He is also a driver and personal bodyguard.
Lu Yanzhi touched his chin, the stubble that had sprouted pricking the palm of his hand. He smiled unceremoniously: "It's rare to see someone who doesn't give you a lot of face. When he left, he didn't even look back. You You still care about others so much.”
As early as the first time we met in the elevator, the girl's attitude towards Fu Jichen was evident.
Fu Jichen picked up the freshly brewed tea. The tea soup was clear and steamy. He blew a small piece of tea leaf floating on the water and said calmly: "She will come back."
Lu Yanzhi became interested: "Bet on one?"
In the past, Fu Jichen didn't bother to pay attention to him. Maybe he was bored, so he actually agreed: "If I win, you can do things for me for a month unconditionally."
His eyes were determined, which made Lu Yanzhi, who proposed the bet, undecided. Later, he thought, Fu Da is always playing with people's hearts. Maybe he deliberately put on this posture of being sure of victory in order to make him quit in the face of difficulties.
Lu Yanzhi: "Did you lose?"
"impossible."
Fu Jichen calmly took out his mobile phone to call Qu Mo and told him something in front of Lu Yanzhi.
Lu Yanzhi said: "Don't use secret methods."
"You haven't heard everything I said, what kind of trick is this." Fu Jichen took a sip of tea and used a provocative method, "Don't be someone who can't afford to lose."
"If you can't afford to lose, just gamble." Lu Yanzhi made the final decision, "If you lose, you can use the shares in your hand to compensate. I love money and don't like anything else."
