Chapter 8 The Uncertain Man

As soon as I walked in, I heard the girl opening and closing her mouth and talking in her sleep.

Ji Xiuran was a little curious and lowered his head slightly. After hearing the girl talking in her sleep, his expression suddenly changed.

The physical craving just now also dissipated.

He stared at the sleeping girl with a sullen face, not hiding the disgust in his eyes.

Finally, Ji Xiuran turned around and left the bedroom.



When Zhao Ningchu got up, he saw Ji Xiuran in his room for the first time. Thinking of what happened yesterday, Zhao Ningchu felt a little unsure.

She raised her eyes, and their eyes met.

"Um, why are you in my room?"

Did this man sleep with me last night?

But why don't I feel anything? My body is not so sore like after that time.

Ji Xiuran ignored her and looked at her straightly. Zhao Ningchu's eyes made Zhao Ningchu feel a little nervous.

She turned her head and avoided Ji Xiuran's sight. Suddenly, she thought of what happened last night, so she carefully asked, "How were those people last night?"

After Ji Xiuran heard this, he stood up and walked towards her step by step. He was beside the bed, looking down at the girl sitting on the bed.

"Those people were beaten and suffered multiple fractures last night."

When he said this, Ji Xiuran's eyes were always locked on the girl.

Zhao Ningchu felt a little uncomfortable and stammered: "Who, who hit me?"

"You don't know who hit him?"

Ji Xiuran asked back.

Zhao Ningchu was stunned and explained casually: "I don't know at all. I kept running into the alley last night. I guess it was because the alley was too dark and they were dog-eat-dog."

Ji Xiuran stared at her closely, as if examining the credibility of what the girl said.

"Isn't it because you offended someone and were maliciously retaliated against?"

"How is it possible? Who can I offend? Me?"

"Zhao Ningchu, you'd better calm down for me, otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Ningchu quickly interrupted: "Yes, yes, I will, I will!"

Ji Xiuran obviously didn't believe in women's positive attitudes, but he didn't expect to get anything from Zhao Ningchu's words either.

What he cares more about now is what he heard last night.

Ji Xiuran stretched out his hand to grab her chin, his eyes glowing with cold light, and said word by word: "Did you know that you were talking in your sleep last night?"

"Dream, sleep talk? What did I say?"

"Zhao Ningchu, if you let me know that you are hooking up with a wild man, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Ji Xiuran's deep and cold voice reached Zhao Ningchu's ears, which scared her to the point where she froze and subconsciously shrank back.

"I-I didn't!"

"If you want to live longer, you'd better stay safe for me."

After saying that, he turned around and left the bedroom.

When Zhao Ningchu was the only one left in the bedroom, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was really too depressing just now, making her feel suffocated.

Zhao Ningchu's head was in a mess. She couldn't remember what she said in her sleep last night.

I don't know why Ji Xiuran went crazy so early in the morning.

Ji Xiuran wouldn't really have murderous intentions towards her, would he?

If that's the case, I definitely can't stay here any longer.

After tidying herself up, she got up and went downstairs.

"Morning, madam~" Uncle Chen began to say hello.

"Good morning, Uncle Chen. What are you going to eat today?"

“Scallop porridge and xiaolongbao will be ready soon.”

When Zhao Ningchu heard this, she quickly walked towards the dining table. Just a few minutes after sitting down, Ji Xiuran came down from upstairs.

Seeing that he was still wearing home clothes, Zhao Ningchu couldn't help but asked curiously: "Well, you don't want to go to the company?"

Ji Xiuran raised his eyebrows and glanced at her: "What? You want me to leave?"

Damn, how can I go out if you don’t leave me?

Although Zhao Ningchu thought so in his heart, he did not dare to show it on his face.

She quickly shook her head: "No, no, I was just asking casually."

After saying that, he buried himself in breakfast.

Throughout the morning, Zhao Ningchu sat obediently in the living room and watched TV, her eyes scanning the study room upstairs from time to time. When she raised her eyes in the direction of the study room for the tenth time, she heard the sound of the door closing.

Within a few minutes, Ji Xiuran was seen walking downstairs wearing a suit and tie.

Zhao Ningchu quickly sat down, fearing that Ji Xiuran would find fault.

"Zhao Ningchu"

Hearing the man's voice, Zhao Ningchu raised her eyes and looked at him, then pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, are you going out?"

Ji Xiuran did not answer her question, but let her pass.

"come over!"

Zhao Ningchu was stunned for a moment without any reaction: "What, what's wrong?"

Ji Xiuran said impatiently: "Come here, don't let me say it a third time."

Zhao Ningchu walked up to him obediently, raised her little face and asked, "What do you want to do?"
