“So you sold yourself?” Chen Anna was shocked and dropped her face mask when she heard Qiao Sisi’s account. “Sister, don’t you think he was leading you on from the beginning?”

Qiao Sisi lay on the bed, feeling regretful. However, she had already agreed to the fake engagement with him. What else could she do?

“I won’t say he’s leading me on. After all, he really can get me a job in Jinyu. I know myself. Being able to go to Jinyu and work with my idol is the dream of a lifetime. Xiang Jinyu, I want to be like her, legendary and powerful!”

“What the heck!” Chen Anna threw her mask down and retorted, “Even if you want to work in Jinyu, there are many ways, right? Who is Zheng Zeyi? Everyone in H City knows that he’s a wolf that eats people up. As long as he takes a fancy to a prey—there’s nothing he can’t get his hands on. How many companies have been swallowed up by him until not even ashes are left? Do you still want to play mind games with him? You must be tired of living. Let me tell you, you have to move back quickly, or I won’t be able to save you.”

“It… It’s not that serious, right? Maybe it’s just rumors. When I interacted with him today, I realized that he’s quite a righteous person. Look, he didn’t help his cousin today but agreed to help me. You don’t know how angry Yang Yueyue was. She was about to jump into the river.” Qiao Sisi tried to joke, but she was actually consoling herself.

Perhaps Zhang Zeyi was doing good things every day.

She was just a woman who lacked money but with some good looks. There was nothing in her that he could take advantage of.

“Look at you, it’s only been a day and you’re siding with him. Isn’t that serious enough? Don’t forget, he’s our enemy and Yang Yueyue’s cousin!” Chen Anna said resentfully, thinking that this silly girl had been tricked.

Qiao Sisi was about to retort when there was a knock at the door. She hurriedly hung up and ran to open the door.

Zheng Zeyi was standing outside with a bath towel around his waist and his hair was wet. “May I use the hairdryer in your room? The one in my room is broken.”

“Ah… oh… ok…” Qiao Sisi fumbled for words. With that, Zheng Zeyi came in.

He went straight to the bathroom and the sound of the hairdryer was soon heard.

Qiao Sisi’s mind went blank. Her mind was filled with the picture of his eight-pack abs, dripping wet from the shower.

......

And there was the other night…

I’m dying, I’m dying. I can’t think, I can’t think. The more I think about it, the more nervous I get.

Qiao Sisi picked up her phone uneasily and went downstairs to the kitchen to drink some ice water to cool herself down.

She had just opened the fridge door when Zheng Zeyi came from behind and closed it.

“What are you doing?” Qiao Sisi was nervous.

Zhang Zeyi chuckled. “Why are you panicking?”

She did not panic. “I’m thirsty. I came down for a drink.”

However, Zheng Zeyi said, “Ladies should drink less ice water. It is not good for the body.”

Qiao Sisi was stunned. Her mother was the only person who had said the same thing to her. Zheng Zeyi walked to the water dispenser, got some hot water and made her a cup of rose tea. “Have some. It’s good for your complexion and health.”

Quah Sisi took the steaming porcelain cup and asked curiously, “Why would your home have rose tea which is a woman’s drink? Is it from your ex-girlfriend?”

After asking, she looked away unnaturally.

When Zheng Zeyi heard that, he smiled and said, “No, my mother loved to drink it when she was alive. After she passed away, every time I miss her, I’d make a cup and smell it.”

Qiao Sisi saw the sadness in his eyes and immediately apologized. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to be hurtful.”

Zheng Zeyi smiled and touched her head. “It’s very late. Have an early rest. I’ll send you to Jinyu tomorrow.”

Seeing him turn around and go up the stairs dejectedly, Qiao Sisi felt bad. She didn’t mean to touch a raw nerve.

But there’s nothing else she could do now.

After a good night’s sleep, she woke up early the next day, found some food in the fridge and started making breakfast.

After thinking about it for the entire night, she felt that the best way to apologize was to make him breakfast. She did not know what he liked to eat, so she made century egg lean meat porridge, egg rolls, and pancakes with the ingredients in the fridge.

The moment Zheng Zeyi came back from his jog, he smelled the aroma of food. He walked to the kitchen and saw Qiao Sisi busy at work.

She was wearing an apron and making breakfast seriously. She did not notice that he was there.

At that moment, he felt that such a heartwarming scene was very beautiful. For the first time, this place felt like a home, and not just a cold building where he came back to sleep.

After making the last pancake, Qiao Sisi looked up and saw Zheng Zeyi. She smiled immediately and said, “You’re back?”

The sun rays fell on her face through the French window. Her smile was so beautiful that it seemed unreal.

Zheng Zeyi laughed nervously. “Okay, I’ll go and take a shower first.”

Even on the weekends, he would order takeaway food. There was no one preparing food at home unless the part-time helper came.

In fact, this was his first time having breakfast at home since he moved here.

“I don’t know what you like, but I made a few random dishes. Try them.” Qiao Sisi passed him an egg roll and a bowl of porridge.

Zhang Zeyi did not stand on ceremony and finished the food.

When the chauffeur came to pick them up, Zheng Zeyi was burping.

Zhang Zeyi sent her to Jinyu’s doorstep and said suddenly, “Make soy milk and fritters tomorrow. I want to eat that.”

Before Qiao Sisi could react, the car had already driven away.

So he’s placing his order for tomorrow’s breakfast.

Qiao Sisi could not help but laugh. She turned around and entered the office building.

Soon she arrived at the front desk of Jinyu’s office. The moment she introduced herself, the receptionist immediately called the Design department. Soon the Design department’s manager, Li Man, appeared.

“You must be Qiao Sisi? Welcome, CEO Xiang has already told me that from today onwards, you will be working in my team.”

It seemed that Zheng Zeyi really did not lie to her. She had been hired by Jinyu.

Li Man brought her to report to the Human Resource department. After settling the admission procedures, she received new office supplies and went to her own department.

There were a total of three levels in Jinyu. She was a new designer in the Design department. Since it was her first day at work, Li Man did not assign her any work. Instead, she gave her a thick stack of design drafts to peruse.

Qiao Sisi could not help but ask curiously, “Sister Li, where’s CEO Xiang? Is she in the office?”

“CEO Xiang? She went overseas to attend the film festival. For this trip to Cannes, the award nominees specially borrowed the Sprout series designed by Chairman Xiang. The jewelers there happened to have a partnership to discuss, so she’ll only be back after the film festival. What’s the matter?”

“No, I’m just curious.” Qiao Sisi would not dare to look for CEO Xiang.

“What are you curious about? Weren’t you assigned here by CEO Xiang? Why do you sound like you don’t know her?” A sharp voice came from behind. Qiao Sisi instinctively turned around and saw an unfamiliar woman.
