Zuo Chenye drove to the warlord's inner courtyard at night.
The sky has darkened, and along the way, neon lights alternately light up.
The light inside the car also dimmed.
Qiao Ran turned to look at him. He was holding the steering wheel with one hand and supporting his chin with the other hand. Although his eyes were looking ahead, his mind seemed not to be there.
Her intuition told her that he had something on his mind.
After a while, Zuo Chenye came to his senses and realized that Qiao Ran had been looking at him.
He was a little nervous and tried his best to smile, "What's wrong?"
Seeing her, she didn't speak.
He deliberately teased, trying to divert his attention, "Are you fascinated by me?"
"Yeah. It's very beautiful. I'm fascinated by it." Qiao Ran simply accepted his words.
Now it was Zuo Chenye's turn to "thump", and Qiao Ran answered him like this for the first time, which only meant that something was wrong with her.
He asked awkwardly, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Qiao Ran looked at him deeply, "In the bathroom just now, who were you calling?"
"Oh." Zuo Chenye turned around guiltily and replied while turning the steering wheel, "Nothing, it's something about work. I suddenly thought of it, so I made a phone call."
"What specific work matter?" Qiao Ran asked again.
Zuo Chenye was stunned for a moment. Generally speaking, she would not ask further questions.
He prevaricated, "Things about logistics and trade ports. Xu Anning called me last time in the hospital. Regarding the new port, some decisions require me to go back. I suddenly remembered an important link, so I called just now
Explained."
"Haha, I didn't think about it all afternoon, how important it could be." Qiao Ran's voice was a bit colder.
At this moment, she was sure that he had lied.
She heard one or two words at the door. Although it was not very clear, it should be related to pharmaceuticals. After all, she heard the word "pharmaceutical". But he said it was about port construction, which was too far away to be true.
She glanced at his handsome profile.
As of now, there is no longer any barrier between them. She also treats him with all her heart.
Naturally, she could feel that he was full of affection for her.
But why on earth did he want to deceive her? What on earth was he hiding?
"Ahem." Zuo Chenye coughed twice, "Why don't I blame my wife for being so beautiful that I forget all about work."
Qiao Ran smiled, "You don't have the determination, so why should you blame others?"
She planned to keep quiet and find out the reason secretly.
Zuo Chenye breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
He changed his left hand to hold the steering wheel, freed his right hand to pull her hand over and put it on his lap.
"Drive well." Qiao Ran warned with a frown.
"I didn't do anything, don't be nervous." He just put his hand on the back of her hand.
"I'm going back to K City next week, it might take a long time." Zuo Chenye said suddenly.
Qiao Ran frowned slightly. She knew that Xu Anning called Zuo Chenye last time and mentioned the need to convene the council and board of directors.
"How long?" she asked.
Zuo Chenye shook his head, "I don't know yet. I have been away for too long and there are many things that need to be dealt with. I will do it as soon as possible."
In fact, the most important thing for him is that the biopharmaceutical research team sent by Donald will arrive. He plans to let them collect his blood and bone marrow and conduct research in secret to find out what kind of poison he was poisoned.
If the team comes to the capital, he can't hide it.
"Okay, I understand." Qiao Ran nodded lightly.
Although he didn't mention it, she knew that he would face an important decision when he returned.
