Chapter 56 Bandits and robbers

Because she had just woken up, Ruan Liuzheng had not had time to change her clothes. She was only wearing a thin nightgown.

The deep V-neck and the length barely covered her thighs.

Her slender and smooth calves were exposed, straight and upright, and glowing white.

Ruan Liuzheng had a good figure, slender and elegant, with soft curves, and her fair and delicate skin was faintly visible through the deep V-neck nightgown.

But sometimes it is this kind of vague appearance that can arouse people's thoughts the most.

Xie Qingcen noticed it as soon as he came in.

But he did not remind Ruan Liuzheng, after all, he was the only man in the whole apartment, and it was harmless for Ruan Liuzheng to dress like this.

But an uninvited guest appeared outside the door, even if that person was most likely Qi Chong, who came to deliver food according to his instructions, his personal assistant, Xie Qingcen still couldn't stand it.

Everything of Ruan Liuzheng could only belong to him, and he absolutely could not stand letting others see Ruan Liuzheng like this.

Xie Qingcen frowned, his eyes never left Ruan Liuzheng, his tall and straight figure firmly blocked Ruan Liuzheng.

He was overbearing and overbearing.

Ruan Liuzheng pursed her lips, she stood there, her expression slightly dissatisfied, "Why? Xie Qingcen, don't be too authoritarian."

"Let me remind you, this is my home!"

Facing Ruan Liuzheng's anger, Xie Qingcen's expression remained unchanged, his dark eyes were as calm as still water, without even a ripple, he opened his thin lips slightly, "So? I'll give you two choices, one is to continue standing here and stalemate with me, the other is to go back to your room to change clothes, I'll get you food."

Ruan Liuzheng was almost laughing out of anger.

Bandit, robber!

She had never seen anyone more unreasonable than Xie Qingcen.

Ruan Liuzheng closed her eyes, trying to suppress the lingering anger in her chest. She took a deep breath, glanced at Xie Qingcen coldly, and snorted, "Get out of the way! I'm going to change my clothes."

Xie Qingcen's eyes slightly raised, and a faint smile suddenly escaped from his throat.

He took two steps forward, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, "Isn't that right? Little Liuzheng, I still like you more now, real."

"Do you mean that I was hypocritical before?" Ruan Liuzheng frowned and asked back, her tone slightly annoyed.

Xie Qingcen shook his head gently, stretched out his hand, and elegantly gathered the collar of Ruan Liuzheng's nightgown, with a faint light in his eyes.

He spoke, his clear and smooth voice slightly concealed a smile, and it came into his ears, pleasant and sexy, "No, you were too scared before, so you put on a thick layer of armor to protect your softest heart." "

Although it is safe, it also isolates everyone who wants to know you."

Xie Qingcen lowered his eyes, staring at Ruan Liuzheng with a pair of ink-like eyes, flashing with an ambiguous luster in his eyes, which made people know at a glance that he was in a good mood.

Ruan Liuzheng's heart tightened, and she subconsciously wanted to retreat and avoid Xie Qingcen's burning gaze.

Under his eyes like this, it seemed that everything about her was exposed, as if her whole person was exposed in Xie Qingcen's eyes, nothing to hide.

It was too straightforward, and too able to see through people's hearts.

However, Xie Qingcen did not allow Ruan Liuzheng to dodge. He stretched out his long arm, passed through Ruan Liuzheng's waist, and gently brought her to him.

A faint smile appeared in the bottom of the smoky eyes.

"I understand you, but Xiao Liuzheng, you don't need to hide in front of me, because we will become the closest people in the world."

The tone was firm and confident.

Ruan Liuzheng raised her eyebrows, stretched out her hand to break free from Xie Qingcen's restraint, her eyes slightly teasing, "The closest person in the world? Xie Qingcen, you are too conceited."

The corners of her lips raised a shallow arc, "In this world, no relationship can be called close, even relatives with blood ties may stab you in the back."

"Everyone has their own self-protection mechanism. I allow you to invade my life without scruples, but it does not mean that you have the right to make me change."

Xie Qingcen frowned fiercely, and her dark eyes looked at Ruan Liuzheng in front of her. She once again erected a spike in front of him.

It seems that the hurt she has experienced is far more than love.

"I don't deny it, but I don't agree with it either."

Xie Qingcen's lips curled slightly, and his voice was slightly overbearing. "Xiao Liuzheng, I won't try to change you, but I believe that one day, you will willingly take off your armor for me."

After that, Xie Qingcen smiled at Ruan Liuzheng, turned around and went to the entrance to open the door for his resentful assistant.

Because in just five minutes, the doorbell has rang over and over again.

It's like a death warrant.

Xie Qingcen looked at the door, his thin lips slightly pursed, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes.

Ruan Liuzheng stood in place, staring at Xie Qingcen's back with cold eyes, his expression stunned.

Are you willing? Oh, she had also willingly taken off her armor for Fu Yanci, and willingly exposed her softest heart to him.

But what did she get in the end?

It was betrayal, misunderstanding, and trust that was so shallow that it would break at the touch.

Thinking of the stupidity in the past, Ruan Liuzheng took a deep breath, frowned, and the corners of her lips slowly raised a shallow arc.

She withdrew her gaze lightly, turned around, and walked towards her room.

She didn't know whether Xie Qingcen would become the next accident, but at least now she had no intention of changing for him.

However, she was looking forward to it.

...

The next day, Ruan Liuzheng went to work in Suofan as usual.

As soon as she arrived at the office, Annie, the assistant assigned to her by Rosent, walked in with a solemn expression. She held a cup of steaming coffee in her hand, and her eyes seemed to be hesitant to speak.

But she knew Ruan Liuzheng's habits, so she waited quietly until the coffee was finished before she spoke.

Her brows were furrowed, and her tone was worried, "Director Ruan, our design work was suddenly rejected by Qianshi. Even the cooperation project that was already finalized was unilaterally cancelled by them."

"They would rather pay liquidated damages than give us the design of the magazine cover."

Ruan Liuzheng frowned. She reached out to take the document handed over by Annie, looked at the content on it, and her lips gradually pursed into a straight line.

Qianshi is a well-known domestic magazine weekly and one of Suofan's main cooperative clients.

Every year, they will hand over their main magazine cover including the illustration design inside to Suofan. They have already laid a solid foundation of trust with Suofan.

A few days ago, Ruan Liuzheng completed the design required by Qianshi as soon as he took office. At that time, they were also satisfied. It stands to reason that they should not cancel the contract temporarily.

Unless...
