Zong Jin thought for a moment, feeling somewhat reluctant, but okay.
Wen glanced at Zong Jin, wondering what he meant by "okay." Had he been having nightmares? Was he struggling to adjust to suddenly moving into this small house? She knew he had moved for her sake and even spent a lot of money to invite the neighbor across from her, but it didn’t necessarily mean he would get used to living here. The house was small, the surroundings chaotic, and the neighborhood noisy and inconvenient.
Wen suggested, “Why don’t you just move back to your big house? Or if you’re worried about Wu Youyou bothering you, you could go to a high-end community or a villa area?”
Zong Jin explained, “No, the environment here is quite good. I’m not having trouble adjusting.”
Wen replied, “Then why aren’t you sleeping well? Are you not used to the bed?”
Zong Jin honestly answered, “I dreamed about you all night last night.”
Wen paused for a moment; it made sense. After all, she had teased Zong Jin so much the night before, and at the crucial moment when things were about to escalate, Zhou Zishuo had interrupted them. If she were in his shoes, she wouldn’t sleep well either.
Wen faced Zong Jin and extended her index finger, on which hung a diamond necklace. “Put this on for me.”
Zong Jin complied, expecting Wen to turn around and face away from him. Instead, she remained still, allowing him to put the necklace on while facing her.
Zong Jin was close enough to Wen that he could feel her breath; even her exhalation carried a hint of fragrance. His mind began to cloud over once more as he fumbled with the necklace around her neck. He spoke in a low voice, “Do you like diamond necklaces?”
Wen replied honestly, “Not really; I’m not interested in those things. This necklace was given to me by Zhou Feng; it’s more like my talisman.”
Zong Jin nodded in understanding.
Suddenly, Wen reached out and hugged Zong Jin tightly.
The embrace was warm, and Zong Jin struggled to control himself, suppressing his urges.
Wen nuzzled against Zong Jin’s solid chest and smiled. “Not bad; I’m satisfied with this muscle. Is the necklace on properly?”
Zong Jin felt as if his head was steaming. “It’s on.”
Wen turned around to look in the mirror. “Let’s go eat breakfast at your place. After breakfast, I’ll do my makeup.”
As Wen stepped out of the house, Zong Jin followed behind like a well-behaved child.
Wen looked at the dining table filled with an array of dishes—various hot and cold dishes and perfectly warm congee—each portion just right so as not to waste any food.
As they sat down at the table, Zong Jin’s phone buzzed with a WeChat message from his mother, Wen Cuizhi: “Son, how are you? Have you eaten breakfast yet? I specially asked the chef to prepare it for you. Make sure Wen girl has some white fungus lotus seed soup; it’s good for beauty.”
Zong Jin replied: “Thanks, Mom.”
Meanwhile, at the Cosmetic Surgery Institution...
Enduring the excruciating pain from her recent surgery, Lan Qingqing finally managed to fall asleep at four in the morning. But just three hours later, she was jolted awake by the sound of drilling from the renovation work in the facility.
As she opened her eyes, a wave of pain washed over her once more. She screamed in frustration, "Damn it! Just stop! I can't take this anymore! Are you trying to drive me to my death? Ah!"
The on-duty nurse was startled awake and rushed into the room, only to find Lan Qingqing contorted in agony on her bed.
"Stop the work!" Lan Qingqing ordered the nurse, her voice filled with desperation.
The nurse hesitated, "How can we stop the renovation now? If we halt it, we won't be able to open on time. The boss won't agree to that."
Lan Qingqing was furious. Despite feeling miserable all over, she was determined to make those workers stop. She hadn’t slept a wink all night due to the pain, and just when she finally fell asleep, she was awakened again. It was driving her insane!
As she attempted to get out of bed, she suddenly felt a warm rush beneath her. Looking down at her thigh, she saw patches of bright red blood soaking through the blue-striped hospital gown.
The nurse screamed, "You're bleeding! Don't move! Lie back down! I'll go get help right away!"
