Chapter 430: 429 (first watch of the night)

Chu Jin, with slightly red ears, pushed someone away and cleared her throat, "Okay, Aunt Zhang, I’ll be right there."

Mo Zhixuan elegantly rose from the sofa, leisurely fastening the second button on his shirt—his face devoid of any signs of loss of control, still looking utterly serious.

His lips still so cool.

His eyes still so deep.

As if all that had just happened was only an illusion.

The two of them got up from the sofa, one after the other.

After dinner, Chu Jin thought the man would leave, but to her surprise, he actually sat back on the sofa leisurely reading the newspaper as if he was in his own home.

Not bothering about him, she went straight upstairs to take a shower.

After the shower, Chu Jin turned on the computer, logged into the author’s backend, and marked "Blooms like Brocade" as complete.

Then she chatted with her editor for a while.

The editor informed Chu Jin that the first batch of physical books had been printed and would go on sale promptly at 12 p.m. the next day on a certain website. If they sold well online, they would be concurrently sold in physical bookstores.

As for sales, Chu Jin wasn’t worried—after all, this book had been a hit across the China mainland in her previous life.

This time around, it should be no different.

Just then, her phone on the table lit up.

It was a message notification.

Chu Jin tapped on it, and it was a message from Shen Lingtian.

"Jin Jin, do you have time to meet? The Buddha Beads worked very well, and I’d like to thank you in person."

Chu Jin’s lips curled slightly, a hint of red flashing in her eyes, "Sure. /Smile,"

Shen Lingtian replied quickly, "Let’s meet at the West Meet Sunshine Cafe tomorrow afternoon at twelve."

"Sure, it’s a date."

"Mhm, Jin Jin good night, remember to go to bed early, staying up late is bad for a girl’s skin."

Even through the screen, Chu Jin could picture Shen Lingtian’s disgusting smirk.

Suppressing her discomfort, she replied, "Okay, you too, good night."

Another villa.

Lu Yan saw Shen Lingtian sitting by the window, smiling at his phone, and her eyebrows lightly furrowed, "Ling Tian, who are you chatting with to be smiling so happily?"

Shen Lingtian placed his phone on the cabinet casually, his expression natural, "A client."

"A client?" Lu Yan’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, "You smile so happily chatting with a client? She must be a great beauty, right?"

Shen Lingtian did not contradict, "Even if she is beautiful, she’s not as gorgeous as my Yan."

"You sure know how to flatter," she snorted lightly, "Ling Tian, let me tell you some good news. My book can be published next month."

My book.

Lu Yan said these three words with confidence, as though they were entitled to her.

As if the book was truly a masterpiece she had poured her heart and soul into.

What followed was to progress smoothly, like a matter of course.

minutes later, wearing her nightgown, Lu Yan picked up Shen Lingtian’s phone and browsed through the messages, one by one.

Jin Jin?

That’s a rather affectionate call.

According to the time stamp, Shen Lingtian had just been chatting with this woman.

Shen Lingtian had actually lied to her, claiming he was talking to a client.

Watching these messages, a sinister look crossed the depths of Lu Yan’s eyes.

It took her a while to put down the phone.

She walked towards the living room.

The night grew deeper.

Chu Jin sat at her desk, intently studying the code on her computer, completely unaware that a man had, at some point, come to stand behind her.

His slender fingers rapidly danced across the black keyboard, the click-clack sounds occasionally breaking the silence, the glow from the computer screen illuminating her face, making it appear as luminous as jade.

Her lips slightly pursed, she looked extremely focused.

This person, when serious, did indeed seem the part.

Perhaps it was because he had just taken a bath, but Mo Zhixuan could even smell the faint scent of milk emanating from her, mixed with her natural body fragrance.

Along with a gentle breeze, it was very pleasant.

After typing the last string of English letters, she pressed the enter key.

Only then did Chu Jin close the lid of the laptop, stretch lazily, rise from the chair, turn around to get into bed, and only when she lay down did she realize that there was an extra person in the room.

Chu Jin hurriedly pulled the blanket up to her shoulders, "When did you come in?"

She hadn’t felt anything amiss at all—just how powerful was he to be able to contain his presence so completely?
