Chapter 427: 315. Add a WeChat

Two people walked one after another on the side road of Nanhu Avenue, the roadside trees were sparse, and the winter sun bleached everything into a vast white, Zhou Sinin did not carry an umbrella.

She suddenly recalled a detail.

In the summer, Lu Jincheng always kept a sun umbrella in the car, and if the sun was blazing, he would hold it over her head.

He would chuckle and tease, "Our baby’s skin is so fair, it would be a pity if it got tanned."

He had once cherished her like a treasure, but today he was empty-handed too.

Ah, men.

Zhou Sinin silently continued walking in the shade, humming quietly to herself, before she heard Lu Jincheng’s response.

"I don’t want to deal with it either, but the messages keep popping up in my face, what can I do?"

This punch brought their distance from a social one to an intimate one.

"..."

Zhou Sinin bit her lip, unknowingly walking shoulder to shoulder with the man.

The most familiar scent, after all, they had once been intimate lovers.

A few seconds later, she angrily pulled her bag over her shoulder, took the bank card from the compartment, and handed it to Lu Jincheng.

"I’m giving this back to you! I just forgot to return it."

"Why give it to me?"

Lu Jincheng did not take it, his gaze still full of care and indulgence.

"We have developed from a couple to a big company, and you still want to keep track of this trivial income from the start."

"???"

Zhou Sinin looked at his expression and listened to his tone, feeling as if time had become confused.

What is he acting like nothing happened?

"It’s not..."

Who said anything about being a couple?

Shocked by the man’s shamelessness, Zhou Sinin couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

She felt incredulous for a moment.

Sleeping with my best friend, and you can still talk nonsense as if nothing happened.

How can you even say that?

However, after hearing this term, Zhou Sinin remembered.

Blocking him was one thing, she seemed to have not managed to break up with him to his face.

Taking the initiative to end a relationship always requires more Courage than starting a new one.

Not far away was the bus stop for route 583, somewhat empty.

The clean bench seats, the thick barriers blocking the howling wind.

People stood scattered on either side of the platform, heads down playing with their phones.

A billboard gleamed behind her, joyfully broadcasting news about a new variety show premiere.

"Why don’t we sit here for a while?"

Lu Jincheng suddenly pointed to two stainless steel benches in the middle of the platform and asked.

Zhou Sinin was taken aback, the man continued, "Just talk for a little bit."

She found it hard to describe her feelings, glanced sidelong at Lu Jincheng, nodded, and sat down on the bench.

Lu Jincheng sat beside her.

It wasn’t until a bus pulled up, picked up passengers from both sides, and then accelerated away, that he spoke again.

"The year-end bonus for the company’s employees, did you cover part of it with your own money?"

"Mmm."

Zhou Sinin nodded.

"So you’re out of money?"

"Mmm."

"Knowing you’re out of money, why didn’t you come to me?"

Lu Jincheng asked knowingly.

"..."

Zhou Sinin lifted her head, her large, peach blossom eyes shining brightly, her emotions unhidden.

"Lu Jincheng, are you pretending to be dumb with me?"

"Why should I come to you?"

"Keep your money for that woman to spend!"

"Just consider it a loan, I’ll pay you back soon!"

Saying this, she stuffed the bank card back into his hand again.

But Lu Jincheng still did not take it, instead, without asking, he snatched her bag, held her hand, and threw the bank card back in.

His palm was large, and her little hand quietly hid in the tiny world beneath it.

Zhou Sinin’s struggle failed.

"Baby, between us..."

"Don’t call me baby!"

"Alright then, Mr. Zhou, do major shareholders really need to distinguish things so clearly?"

"What else, do I know you that well?"

The deeper one loves, the easier it is to be emotionally entangled by that person.

Zhou Sinin, always sharp and smart, could always be swayed by Lu Jincheng within a few words.

"We must make it clear!"

"So should I return the car to you as well?"

Buses passed by one after another; they watched batch after batch of passengers, and Lu Jincheng suddenly turned the tables.

"..."

Zhou Sinin lowered her eyes, wanting to speak but stopped, her thoughts half-formed.

Only to be interrupted by the man’s rapid-fire words.

"Look, even the clothes I’m wearing today were given to me by you. Should I take them off and return them to you just like you?"

Saying that, he made a motion as if he was about to unbutton his shirt.

"Go ahead and strip if you want to," she replied nonchalantly.

Zhou Sinin saw right through his pretense.

This guy would never actually strip naked in the middle of the street.

Of that she was certain.

"Since you want to separate our things so clearly, why did you pay the staff salaries out of your own pocket?"

Lu Jincheng concluded his groundwork, leaned forward slightly, his elbows resting on his thighs, and finally played his trump card in the logical discussion.

"Why didn’t you separate things then?"

Zhou Sinin didn’t respond.

She pursed her lips, unable to answer that question.

As the second-largest shareholder of Golden Stone Coffee, she had thought about pulling out her shares.

But that only lasted for a short while.

Smart girls often empathize more and are better at considering things from other perspectives.

Moreover, she learned a profound lesson from her parents’ failed marriage from a young age.

Never let your emotions affect others.

If personal emotional conflicts among shareholders caused a company, at a critical uphill stage with limitless prospects, to fall apart...

Not only would her dad disapprove, but she herself couldn’t accept it either.

Therefore, when Lu Jincheng used this point to question her, Zhou Sinin had nothing to say.

Some things you can separate clearly, some you just can’t.

Truly, it’s unclear.

Like that Maserati parked in the Finance University parking lot in Jiang City, which she had decorated in pink tones inside.

She was used to driving that car; her own Mini was covered in dust.

And also the countless little surprises Lu Jincheng gave her.

How could she clearly separate these intricate ties?

"Not talking?"

Lu Jincheng, seizing the advantage, continued his attack.

"Even you haven’t figured it out, yet you’re being stubborn."

He smoothly shifted his approach, found the past promises, and skillfully extended the topic.

"Right, the court decision came through, we can get over six million in compensation. Send me the amount you covered."

"I’ll fill your coffers back up."

"Personal is personal, the company is the company. Although Mr. Zhou is generous, we shouldn’t make you pay out of your own pocket."

"Oh."

When it came to official business, Zhou Sinin did not refuse this time.

"Don’t just say oh; send it over, I’ll contact finance to process it."

While saying this, he looked at Zhou Sinin.

A few seconds later, as if remembering something, he smiled.

"Oh right, I seem to have been blocked, haha."

Then the man took out his phone, smoothly flipping to display a QR code.

"I wonder if there’s a chance to add each other on WeChat again?"
