“You seem to be on good terms with President Ji… I am very sorry about tonight’s accident, but may I trouble you to apologize to him on my behalf?”

Shen Youran was not dumb. Xue Ling was probably here to find Ji Jinchuan, but it seemed that she had faced some trouble.

Ji Jinchuan was probably still angry, so if she were to talk to him now, she would definitely get implicated in this mess.

She raised her eyebrows and said, “I only got to know President Ji today so I am not very close to him. Besides, it would be more sincere if you directly apologized to him.”

Xue Ling’s eyes were red by then and she pitifully pursed her lips. “President Ji… doesn’t want to see me. If you can…”

Her voice was cut off by a ringing sound. Shen Youran fished out her phone and took a look. Ji Jinchuan was the caller.

She did not answer the call in front of Xue Ling, allowing it to continue ringing. “Sorry, Ms. Xue. I still have other matters to attend to. I will take my leave first.”

In the hotel room, Ji Jinchuan took a set of clothes from the bag and went into the dressing room. Within a second, he had already walked out of the room while being neatly dressed.

He was wearing a black blouse that made his skin look especially fair. His handsome face looked colder and more indifferent than usual.

Shen Youran took the tie over and made a few gestures at his neck as she did not how she should go about tying the tie for him. In the end, she gave up and passed the tie to him.

“I think it’s better if you do it yourself.”

Ji Jinchuan looked into the mirror and skillfully tied his tie. “Is the banquet ending?”

“Soon.” When she went to the car park, she did not walk past the banquet hall, but judging from the time, it should be ending soon.

Ji Jinchuan tried to singlehandedly button his surgeon’s cuffs, but after a few tries, he still could not button it. He extended his hand and Shen Youran naturally helped him to button it.

They were leaning very closely to each other, and Shen Youran could smell a fresh scent from Ji Jinchuan’s body.

She slightly raised her head and could see him gently licking his perfectly sculptured lips. She could also see that strong yet cold chin of his.

She took the exquisitely designed watch from the bedside table and helped him put it on. “Are you going to rest or proceed downstairs?”

Ji Jinchuan took a look at his watch and realized that it was almost 11:00 pm. “I should leave soon.”

A knock could be heard on their door, and Shen Youran instinctively went forward to open it. However, she’d walked for only two steps when she suddenly seemed to have thought of something. She then quickly ran to hide in the washroom.

Ji Jinchuan furrowed his eyebrows and went to open the door, which revealed Gu Jinchen at his doorstep.

He was carrying a shopping bag, and a faint smile appeared on his face. “President Ji, sorry to have kept you waiting.”

His smile slightly froze as he looked at the set of clean clothes Ji Jinchuan was wearing. “It seems that you don’t need it anymore.”

In the washroom, Shen Youran heard Gu Jinchen’s voice and her heart skipped a beat.

Luckily, she went to hide in the washroom. If Gu Jinchen saw her in Ji Jinchuan’s room, what would he think of her?

“In that case, I will not disturb you further.” Gu Jinchen took a look at the room and his gaze landed on a certain place.

Ji Jinchuan gave a faint “Hmm” and closed the door. He turned around to take a look at the place where Gu Jinchen’s gaze had landed.

There was a white phone placed along with the room card on the coffee table.

The phone looked foreign to him, but there were only two people who entered this room.

Xue Ling had stayed for less than three minutes and was even carrying an exquisite jewelry bag. Hence, the phone was clearly not hers.

Upon hearing that the door had closed, Shen Youran heaved a long sigh of relief before coming out of the washroom.

Ji Jinchuan put on his blazer in front of the mirror before buttoning the middle button and preparing to leave.

When he walked past her, he stopped and glanced at her. “Just a little more.”
