Then she lay back down on the bed and finally sighed and stared at the ceiling.

Shang Jin who was about to knock on the door suddenly stopped, and looked inside with a complicated expression.

Uncle Liu quietly stood up, waiting for Shang Jin to come over.

Shang Jin shook his head, he stared coldly at Uncle Liu, "As long as you do your job, it's good enough."

Hearing that this was a warning to him, Uncle Liu became even more curious. His young master must have met with some trouble with Jian Ning.

"Prepare some food for her and send it up. Don't say anything that you shouldn't say."

After finishing the instructions, Shang Jin took a newspaper and sat on the leather sofa in the living room, waiting for Jian Ning to get down from the top.

This position?

Uncle Liu was shocked. If he was not mistaken, from where Shang Jin was sitting, he could just happened to be able to see Jian Ning coming down from the stairs. However, Jian Ning was not able to see him immediately.

Suddenly, Uncle Liu smiled happily. He knew that his Young Master was shy just now.

Uncle Liu silently entered the kitchen and repeated Shang Jin's words to the people in the kitchen.

Jian Ning counted time on her fingers, bored to death.

"Why is it so slow? I really want to eat the Hibiscus Shrimp Dumplings." She had a sullen expression as she murmured in a wronged manner.

From outside the door came the sound of slow, rhythmic footsteps, which made a "tat" sound on the polished marble floor.

Very quickly, the sound stopped right in front of Jian Ning's door, and gently knocked on it.

"Jian Ning, it's Uncle Liu. Is it convenient to open the door?"

Hearing that it was Uncle Liu voice, Jian Ning did not hesitate, she immediately stood up, casually tidied up her appearance, and then went to open the door.

She leaned against the door frame, not very ladylike, obviously not wanting to let him in.

Lowering her head to look at what Uncle Liu was holding in his hand, she gently moved her nose. It should be something edible.

"Uncle Liu, what are you doing?" She pointed at the box in his hand and asked curiously.

Uncle Liu only needed a glance to know that this person was truly hungry. She quickly passed the snacks to her and raised her eyebrows in an ambiguous manner.

"Someone told me to bring this to you so I wouldn't say what I shouldn't say."

Uncle Liu did not take the warning seriously at all and said it without missing a word.

Jian Ning laughed bashfully, looking at the box had gained some emotions that she couldn't understand.

"Uncle Liu, thank you. Don't worry, I won't give you away." She made a gesture of silence and said very seriously.

He was very satisfied with her tactful attitude, so he didn't dare to stay any longer. After handing the items over to her, he hurried downstairs.

Closing the door again, Jian Ning looked at the lunchbox on the table with a complicated expression.

"Shang Jin, in your heart, what kind of existence am I?"

No one could answer her question. They could only helplessly sigh and stare blankly at the box.

After an unknown amount of time, a series of knocks sounded out from outside the door. Only when the person outside was getting impatient did she regain her senses.

She already knew who the person was just from the sound of the door knocking. She walked nervously to the door and slowly turned the handle.

As soon as she opened the door, a sharp chill came over her.

"What took you so long?" Shang Jin said in a dissatisfied tone, his entire body tensed up.

Hearing his question, Jian Ning could not help but shiver. Suppressing the fear in her voice, she lowered her head and said, "I was thinking about the blueprint and was unable to pay attention to the voices outside."

This answer was barely passable as the amount of cold air on Shang Jin's body decreased significantly.

He forced Jian Ning to make way for her, and confidently walked in. He looked around the inner room, and finally focused his gaze on the box.

She followed his gaze and cried out in her heart. The things inside the box that Uncle Liu sent her had not been touched.

Shang Jin raised his head and looked at her, then walked straight to that side and opened it up under Jian Ning's nervous gaze.

Furong Shrimp Ball, Walnut Pancake, Green Bean Cake...

There were several types of snacks placed together, and they all looked different in color, causing one to have an appetite.

"Um …" I... I was thinking about something just now, and I forgot about this all of a sudden. "

Following the longer Shang Jin stayed on top of the box, Jian Ning's heart couldn't help but shiver. She was really afraid that Shang Jin would throw the box at his head.

He pursed his lips and put everything down, then turned and walked to Jian Ning's side. He raised his hand to press on her slender waist, then pulled her into his embrace, hugging her tightly.

This was not the first time, but Jian Ning sat stiffly on Shang Jin's lap, looking at him nervously.

"If you don't want to eat, then remember to waste your manpower and resources. These are not things that you can afford." Shang Jin mocked in disdain.

"Shang Jin, what do you mean?"

Jian Ning suddenly broke free from his embrace and stood up with an angry look.

These words were truly somewhat hurtful.

Both of his hands were crossed over his legs, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he was going to crush Jian Ning to pieces.

"Literally." He replied coldly.

"Hehe …" She suddenly laughed, and her face became even paler, shaking her head, her lips raised in a bitter smile, "Shang Jin, I really do not understand you, what do you think I am?"

At this moment, she didn't even notice how sour her words were. Anyone who heard it would feel that she was a married woman with a deep grudge.

But Shang Jin only frowned, and only spoke after a long while: "What do you think I should treat you as a human? Slave? Or a chess piece? "

His words finally turned into countless sharp swords that pierced Jian Ning's heart, causing her to lose all her strength and fall to the ground.

He gently lifted his chin, and his magnetic voice whispered in her ear, "Whatever you ask me to treat you as, I'll treat it as. This is a fair deal, so why are you acting like this?"

As if he didn't see Jian Ning's pain, he continued: "Jian Ning, in your opinion, what do I treat you as?"

Jian Ning shook her head in fear, she understood what Shang Jin meant. She had been trying to guess for a long time, and she found it hard to accept this result.

"Why didn't you explain it to me?" If I said it clearly, then I wouldn't think so much and there wouldn't be any complaints.

Her hoarse voice roared at Shang Jin.

"I thought you'd understand."

After Shang Jin left these words, he lowered his eyes in disappointment and allowed Jian Ning to vent.

From the start of the chess pieces to the current partners, Shang Jin had already treated Jian Ning very well.
