"To the villa by the sea." Jun Zichen said as he drove the car smoothly.
"The villa you took me to after we first met?" she asked.
"Yes."
"But I'm still at work. Can I go after work?"
"I'm afraid it won't be safe to drive there when you get off work." He said that if it was just him alone, he might not care, but if there was another person in the car with her … He would be afraid, afraid that he would not be as lucky as he had been the last time, if he had a sudden pain attack while driving.
Because the pain of a full moon would be even worse than the previous omens.
Lu Xiaorong did not understand. What did he mean by it was not safe to drive? A relationship at night? But didn't he often pick her up at night?
But now the car was on the road. Lu Xiaorong thought for a moment, then gave Guan Yanyan a call to help her apply for a leave of absence. At the same time, Lu Xiaorong also took Guan Yanyan back to the dorm with her.
Fortunately, during this period of time, within the Sihai Group, many of her colleagues would apply for leave to interview other companies when it was time for work. Guan Yanyan didn't think too much about it, thinking that Lu Xiaorong had received a call and was in a hurry to go for an interview.
Lu Xiaorong rolled her eyes. After putting away her phone, she looked at Jun Zichen again, "Why are you suddenly heading to the beach villa?" After all, it wasn't very close to the city, so no matter how hard he tried to bring her there, it seemed rather sudden.
"Because it's so quiet there. No one will bother you." No one would be able to see his battered and exhausted appearance. When the moon was full, he would spend most of his time at the villa by the sea, with the exception of a few days. In the deserted villa, until the pain tortured him to death.
Lu Xiaorong was a bit embarrassed. Because of Jun Zichen's words, she thought of some colourful scenes. However, she looked at Jun Zichen's usual expression. Again, she felt that she was overthinking it.
After all, she was from the People's Liberation Army. Was it necessary to bring her to a villa and force her into it?
In addition, there was no need for her to force herself on him. Basically, as long as he gave her a few looks, smiled at her a few times, and took off half of her clothes, she would probably obediently take the bait.
Thinking like this, Lu Xiaorong became calm. She even started chatting with Jun Zichen about the celebrities she had seen recently, such as who was in love, who was married, and who broke off their relationship.
Lu Xiaorong had done some research into the gossip about celebrities.
"By the way, do you know Mei Xinyi?" Lu Xiaorong asked.
"Not really." Jun Zichen answered. To him, compared to those celebrities, he knew more about the world's defense military officers.
"She was very red before, and you didn't know about it?" Lu Xiaorong asked in surprise.
"Is it strange?" he asked.
She immediately shook her head, "Err … "Not surprising." He was just a little emotional. Could it be that he didn't usually watch TV dramas or love movies?
"Why did you suddenly mention her?" he asked.
"During this period of time, many people in the company have been discussing her." Lu Xiaorong said, "Did you know? He used to be the girlfriend of our CEO Ye Nanqing. "
Ye Nanqing... He more or less knew about what had happened between Ziyan and Xia Huanhuan, and naturally knew that the reason why Ziyan wanted to deal with Sihai Group was also because he wanted Xia Huanhuan's relationship, so he wanted to thoroughly defeat Ye Nanqing.
However, what Lu Xiaorong said was obviously another point. "Before Mei Xinyi had even met our CEO, she was only a third-rate actress. It was only after she got along with our CEO that she started to become popular. Actually, everyone knows that she is considered to be a popular person, but now, when she broke up with our CEO, she immediately fell to the bottom. "
During this period of time, everyone in the company had been discussing Mei Xinyi and her miserable state. Not only were there no advertisements, there were no movies or TV shows, and even the investments she made in the past had failed. There were even photos on the internet of Mei Xinyi's downfall, which was completely different from her previous bright and beautiful self.
Many of the colleagues who had been busy trying to curry favor with Mei Xinyi before she came to the company were now gloating and laughing at her downfall. However, Lu Xiaorong had a feeling about Mei Xinyi.
"Therefore, a woman should never think of relying only on a man. Perhaps a temporary reliance will allow you to succeed, but what if there comes a day when you are unreliable? "Then you will be beaten back to your original form, and you will have to rely on yourself to get what you want."
"What if it's not temporary?" Jun Zichen suddenly said.
"What?" Lu Xiaorong couldn't react in time.
"I said, if I promise, I can let you depend on me for your entire life, until the day I die, you still aren't willing to rely on me?" he asked.
She was stunned and did not know what to say. When she was in middle school, her parents accidentally passed away and she was adopted by her uncle's family. Although her uncle and aunt treated her very well and she had always kept it in mind, she still couldn't help but feel like she was leaving someone else behind.
Especially back then, when that incident had happened. She understood even more clearly that people … Sometimes, she could only rely on herself. If she had the ability, then perhaps some things would have a completely different ending.
"I... "I don't know." She replied as such.
Jun Zichen looked at the person beside him deeply. At this time, her expression was a little sad, unlike her usual carefree and cheerful expression. And when he saw her expression, he would feel a stabbing pain in his heart. It was as if at this moment, as long as she could smile as she usually did, he could give anything for it.
"Did you think of something bad?" he asked.
She took a deep breath and then shook her head. "It's nothing. "Oh yeah, why don't I tell you a joke my colleague told me this afternoon? It's so funny."
Lu Xiaorong changed the topic and started joking. Jun Zichen didn't say anything else and continued driving towards the villa by the sea.
The car drove to the entrance of the mansion. Lu Xiaorong got off the car and followed Jun Zichen into the mansion. The villa was quiet, but it was also extremely clean. It was obvious that there was someone who would clean up the place often.
"What would you like to drink?" Jun Zichen asked.
"Oh, just water." she replied.
He poured her a glass of water and asked, "What would you like to eat tonight?"
"You want to order takeout?" She blinked, but she was seriously suspicious. This seaside villa was an hour's drive away from the city center. Which takeout store would give it away?
"No, you can just cook it yourself. There are ingredients in the fridge." Jun Zichen met Lu Xiaorong's puzzled gaze and explained further, "During the day, I told someone to buy them. They are all ingredients that you usually like to eat."
Lu Xiaorong walked to the refrigerator in the kitchen, opened it and took a look. She suddenly felt a warmth in her heart. She didn't specifically tell Jun Zichen what she liked to eat, but she didn't expect him to notice it.
Thinking about it, he probably paid special attention to her favorite food when they were having dinner together.
However, the fact that Lu Xiaorong could cook did not mean that she could cook, so she "shamelessly" asked Jun Zichen, "You can cook?"
"Yes." He said lightly.
Her mouth could not close after receiving a positive answer.
He … He really knew how to do it! Isn't he the young master of Jun Family? There were special chefs at home, and all of them came and went in high-end restaurants, yet they could cook?!
She and him, no matter how you looked at it, it should be more reasonable if she knew how to cook.
"What do you want to eat? Or all the stuff in the fridge? " he asked, taking the ingredients out of the fridge one by one.
"Oh, there's no need for that much. Just the two of us can't eat that much," Lu Xiaorong said hurriedly.
After choosing a portion of the ingredients, Jun Zichen was busy in the kitchen while Lu Xiaorong was too embarrassed to eat and drink for free, so she offered her labor to help wash the vegetables and serve the plates.
Undeniably, when Lu Xiaorong saw Jun Zichen with his sleeves rolled up, cutting vegetables, stir-frying vegetables, and cooking food, she was still a little dazed.
Moreover, his movements looked very practiced, as if he was cooking.
"You often cook like this?" she asked.
"Not often, but sometimes when I'm away on business, I do it myself. Especially before, when the environment was tough." he said.
She almost forgot, when he was the young master of Jun Family, he was also a soldier. On the internet, she had seen his promotions and qualifications. Even though he had the Jun Family as a backer, when he first joined the army, he had actually started off as a small soldier, and even went to some places on the border.
Those places not only had tough environments, but they also frequently had border conflicts. Sometimes, even going there was equivalent to throwing away one's life.
This was also the reason why Jun Zichen didn't attract any criticism from others when he became a lieutenant general at the age of 35. On the contrary, it was more of a reason to praise him.
"Before, when I first entered the army, was it difficult?" she asked curiously.
"Not bad. "It's not that big of a feeling." he replied.
She couldn't believe it. He was a young master dressed in luxurious clothing, how could he not feel when he suddenly went to such a vile place?
As if he had seen through her thoughts, he lightly said, "When you experience even greater pain, you will feel that this little bit of hardship is nothing at all."
