Zhu Ruiyan didn't know what to say anymore. She found it hard to understand. No matter how she tried to persuade Zhu Ruixuan, she insisted that she would not leave if she did not return home. In the end, she could only leave Zhang Shuai's home helplessly.

Could it be that loving a person allows one to give up all of their dignity, including the bottom line? However, this is clearly a matter of destroying the three views, so why is Xuanxuan so persistent about it?

When Zhu Ruiyan was getting off work, she received a call from Qin Yizhao, saying that she would come to his house to eat dinner at night. Zhu Ruiyan knew that whatever was supposed to happen would still come. Since it was a trade, then there was already an equivalent price for it.

Qin Yizhao did not mention anything about Zhang Shuai on the phone, but Zhu Ruixuan had definitely helped his. So after work, Zhu Ruiyan bought some of the dishes that Qin Yizhao liked to eat, and went home to repay him.

The clock on the wall showed that it was almost 8 o'clock, but there was no movement in the corridor at all. Zhu Ruiyan sat on the sofa with a perturbed expression on her face as she waited. Finally, when it was almost eight-thirty, footsteps came from the corridor. Zhu Ruiyan's heart tightened and she quickly stood up to open the door.

Qin Yizhao appeared at the door as he carried a briefcase. He lowered his head to look at Zhu Ruiyan before entering the room, and Zhu Ruiyan closed the door behind him.

Qin Yizhao walked straight to the dining table and looked at the steaming hot dishes before sitting down, and Zhu Ruiyan also sat down opposite of him. Qin Yizhao picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He said lightly, "I'm leaving next week."

Zhu Ruiyan frowned, confused. She continued, "I was sent to another place." Zhu Ruiyan finally understood and said worriedly: "Then Zhang Shuai and the others …"

A look of disappointment flashed across Qin Yizhao's face as he said somewhat scornfully, "So it turns out that you are more concerned about your former fiance in your heart." Qin Yizhao emphasized the word 'fiancé' a little bit more on the topic. Zhu Ruiyan panicked a little. She didn't know what to say.

However, Qin Yizhao became even angrier when he saw that Zhu Ruiyan did not say anything. Did this woman approve of what she had just said? He didn't explain or say anything. He had taken such a huge risk to help her, but now, all he could think about was that man. It was really sad.

Qin Yizhao continued, "Don't worry, he will be able to return home tomorrow." Zhu Ruiyan still could not react in time, and after a few seconds, she said uncertainly: "You mean that this matter has been resolved? My sister and Zhang Shuai are fine now, right?"

Qin Yizhao immediately put down his chopsticks. He felt that this was really a bit depressing, why did he mention this during dinner? Moreover, this woman was too unromantic. Qin Yizhao said unhappily: "Yes, I said they are fine, did you hear me?"

Zhu Ruiyan didn't notice Qin Yizhao's anger, she was only abnormally excited as she said, "Thank you so much."

"Remember Zhu Ruiyan well. If there's a next time, even if you sell him, you won't be able to save him your entire life." Qin Yizhao's tone became abnormally ice-cold once more before continuing, "Then this matter will come to a halt. Besides the two of us, don't bring it up again."

Zhu Ruiyan hurriedly nodded, and then continued, "I understand. By the way, did you say you were going somewhere else next week? "

Qin Yizhao rolled his eyes in annoyance. This woman actually ignored him so much, only now did he think of him. Qin Yizhao said unhappily: "Didn't you wish for me to leave?"

Zhu Ruiyan was a little surprised, but Qin Yizhao leaving seemed to be a good thing for her, but for some reason, he felt a little sad. Seeing that Zhu Ruiyan did not speak, Qin Yizhao continued to speak: "However, the deal you promised me is still valid, you must repay me back for it."

Zhu Ruiyan's face suddenly darkened, seeing Zhu Ruiyan's somewhat embarrassed look, Qin Yizhao's mood recovered a little.

Zhu Ruiyan looked at Qin Yizhao with some doubt: "Why did you leave this place? Where have you been transferred to? "

"Qing County."

"Is Qing County really a poor county in the province?" Zhu Ruiyan looked at Qin Yizhao in surprise and nodded silently.

"But Chairman Qin …" Zhu Ruiyan had not finished speaking when she interrupted her.

Qin Yizhao said lightly: "If you call me Qin Yizhao in the future, I'm no longer Chairman Qin." Qin Yizhao paused for a moment before continuing, "Or you can call me darling, Zhao, Qin Yizhao, you choose one."

"Master Qin …" Zhu Ruiyan noticed that Qin Yizhao was glaring at her, so she quickly changed her words, "Qin Yizhao."

Amongst the three of them, this was the name Qin Yizhao didn't want to hear the most, because it seemed the most unfamiliar. Zhu Ruiyan could not understand why Qin Yizhao would be transferred to a poor town. Everyone said that Qin Yizhao was very powerful, and was even a second-generation official, how could he be transferred to such a remote place?

"What are you thinking?" Qin Yizhao looked at Zhu Ruiyan who had not touched her chopsticks the entire time, and asked doubtfully: "Are you unwilling for me to leave?"

Zhu Ruiyan regained her senses and asked suspiciously: "Where are you going for?"

"To be the County Governor." Qin Yizhao said coldly.

"The county magistrate isn't bad either. I didn't expect that I would be able to meet him." Zhu Ruiyan felt that in her impression, all of the officials should have fat heads and big ears, and beer belly. However, Qin Yizhao was completely different from them, at least in Zhu Ruiyan's heart, Qin Yizhao was a good person.

"Will you come back?" Zhu Ruiyan didn't know why she would ask such a question.

"Would you be happy if I didn't come back?" When Qin Yizhao's words came out, a trace of sadness actually flashed past Zhu Ruiyan's heart, but he immediately added, "You definitely won't succeed in your wish."

"When are you going to go to Qing County next week?"

"Next Monday."

Zhu Ruiyan calculated that there were only six days left of time. She had once thought that if Qin Yizhao wasn't there, she could lead a simple life. However, when all of this really happened, it seemed that his mood was different from what he had expected.

After Qin Yizhao was full, he wiped his mouth, then took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and sat on the sofa to read it carefully. Zhu Ruiyan did not dare disturb Qin Yizhao and went to the kitchen to clean up the tableware.

Qin Yizhao's gaze landed on the beautiful ashtray on the tea table. A smile unconsciously formed on his lips. This ashtray was a new one that Zhu Ruiyan had bought. The last time Qin Yizhao came, he didn't have this item at home, so it wouldn't be convenient for him to smoke.

After Zhu Ruiyan was done packing, she turned around to glance at Qin Yizhao. He did not seem to have any intentions of leaving. Thus, Zhu Ruiyan carefully brewed a cup of tea for Qin Yizhao. Qin Yizhao raised his head, glanced at Zhu Ruiyan, and continued to read the documents.

Time continued to pass minute by second, until 11 PM, but Qin Yizhao did not have any intentions of leaving. Zhu Ruiyan seemed to be a little fidgety on the sofa. She didn't dare to speak, nor did she dare to go to sleep, so she could only sit there and continue reading.

From time to time, Qin Yizhao's gaze would fall on this woman. She was wearing her pajamas with her long black hair hanging down on her shoulders. Zhu Ruiyan's house's living room was not big, the entire house gave off a simple and tidy feeling.

Qin Yizhao really liked this place, because it gave his family a warm and heartwarming feeling. Finally, when it was close to 12 o'clock, Qin Yizhao packed up the documents and stood up.

"You … "Are you leaving?"

"Is there something else?" Qin Yizhao stood at the doorway and turned, looking at Zhu Ruiyan with some suspicion. Zhu Ruiyan immediately became nervous, she was worried that Qin Yizhao would misunderstand his meaning.

Qin Yizhao stood there holding onto something in his hand, but he did not seem to want to take a step forward. His eyes seemed to be filled with anticipation, and his gaze paused on Zhu Ruiyan's face for a few seconds. But Zhu Ruiyan stood there in a daze and did not say a word.

"I'll be busy all day tomorrow." Qin Yizhao stood beside him and nodded.

"I understand, then go back and rest early."

"Is there nothing else to say?" Zhu Ruiyan obviously knew what she meant, but she had no way to take the initiative. In the end, she and Zhang Shuai did not take that step forward even after a whole five years, let alone the fact that she had only known Qin Yizhao for a short two months.

"Drive safely." Zhu Ruiyan added a little cautiously.

A faint layer of disappointment covered Qin Yizhao's eyes. He grabbed Zhu Ruiyan's left hand and forcefully pulled him into his embrace. Qin Yizhao said unhappily: "You really have no conscience."

Zhu Ruiyan was a little afraid, she knew what this meant. Zhu Ruiyan said with a slightly trembling voice, "I'm sorry. I won't protest if you want to collect your reward now, but I can't stand to be with you right now. I'm sorry. "

Other than apologizing to Zhu Ruiyan, who did not know what to say, she was a little afraid. Her body was curled up and she did not dare to look straight at Qin Yizhao.

Qin Yizhao felt that the atmosphere had become a little boring. He lightly pouted.

Qin Yizhao smelled the light body fragrance that Zhu Ruiyan's body was emitting, and felt that her body had reacted, he tried his best to control the desire in his heart and took a deep breath.

Zhu Ruiyan slightly apologetically raised her head and just happened to meet that pair of eyes. She looked like an injured little white rabbit, whose eyes were filled with ignorance and unknowable fear. Qin Yizhao suddenly thought that she was about to go to Qing County, there was no need for him to cause more trouble, thus she unwillingly let go of Zhu Ruiyan.

"Rest early. Good night." Qin Yizhao said indifferently, then took his things and left Zhu Ruiyan's house. Seeing that the door was closed, Zhu Ruiyan's figure disappeared. Zhu Ruiyan's mind was in a mess.

Zhu Ruiyan knew that she wasn't ready yet, and her performance tonight would probably make Qin Yizhao unhappy. However, she really couldn't force herself to do what she needed to do in return. But what surprised Zhu Ruiyan was that Qin Yizhao did not force her in the end, which made her feel somewhat grateful in her heart.

Zhu Ruiyan knew that she was not wrong, Qin Yizhao was truly a good person, at least he would never take advantage of someone when they are in danger. But Zhu Ruiyan felt that she was really a woman with no conscience like Qin Yizhao had said. She couldn't sleep that night.
