Chapter 36: Earring

't see what he was thinking."Click." The lighter's flame died, replaced by Zhou Li's commanding voice.The tone was off-putting. Ginger Mingzhu wasn't really a pure and innocent white lotus either. She...Zhou Li sat in his office chair, looked up at Zhan Yu Bai, and said with a calm expression, "What"

Jan Yu Bai: "Your restroom, seems to have some movement."

Saying that, she once again glanced at the tightly closed door with the corner of her eye. A woman's sixth sense was tingling, feeling as if there were someone hidden inside.

Zhou Li was unusually calm. "You heard wrong."

"Maybe. I'll go take a look"

She set down her teacup, got up and walked toward the rest room. "It's the sound of water, maybe the bathroom is leaking," she said.

On the other side of the wall, Ginger Mingzhu heard the sound of high heels getting closer and closer. Her heart skipped a beat! That damn Zhou Li, he didn't even react. Wasn't he afraid she would go all out and confront Zhan Yubai head-on

Jiang Mingzhu was completely panicked. She turned her head back to the bed, picked up her clothes, and without hesitation, dove into the closet.

As I was halfway through drilling, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the office door, followed by Zhou Li's voice.

"Yu Bai, please open the door for me."

Ginger Mingzhu heard this nonchalant voice, her heart was already cursing him out. Zhou Li dared to say she loved to act

Her acting was nothing compared to his.

Zhan Yu Bai actually listened to Zhou Li's words very well. Ginger Ming Zhu heard the receding footsteps and plopped down on the cabinet, with no intention of going out for the time being. She had no idea when she would come back again.

The door to the office swung open, and Liang Cong stood outside with utmost respect.

Zhan Yu Bai revealed a gentle smile, leading Liang Cong into the office. The two stopped at the desk one after another.

As soon as he stopped, Jan Yu-bai's attention was drawn to an earring on the desk.

Her originally composed smile stiffened for a moment, her fingers pinching the earring as she looked at Zhou Li: "How did you end up with a woman's earring on your desk"

Zhou Li's gaze shifted, and he saw the earring shaped like a camellia in her hand.

It should belong to Ginger Mingzhu. She accidentally dropped it while working at her desk last time.

Liang Cong held his breath when he heard Zhan Yubai's question. He subconsciously looked at Zhou Li, and their eyes met for a second.

Then, Liang Cung said with a smile, “Mr. Zhan, Mr. Zhou, I'm here to find this earring.”

Zhan Yu heard this and turned her gaze to Liang Cong, a hint of suspicion in her eyes. "Is this earring yours, Assistant Liang"

"It's not mine, it's my girlfriend's. It was on me just a moment ago, but it suddenly disappeared. I had just delivered some files to Mr. Zhou, so I came here to look for it."

Jane's voice was still tinged with doubt.

At that time, Zhou Li said, "Next time, make sure to take good care of your things."

Liang Cong: "Yes, Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Then Liang Cong said to Zhan Yubai, “Ms. Zhan, please don't argue with Mr. Zhou over this little matter. Otherwise, I would be a sinner for all time.”

Jan Yǔbái smiled again, handing the earring to Liáng Cōng. Understandingly, she said, “Come on, take it.”

Liang Cong took it over and, before leaving, he didn't forget to say: "There won't be any messy women in Zhou Zong's office. I will supervise for you."

After Liang Cong left, Zhan Yu Bai and Zhou Li joked, "Liang assistant is really a good employee, afraid I might misunderstand you."

The Zhouli says: "He himself handles the things that he has dropped."

"But I was really scared just now."

What are you afraid of

"Of course I'm afraid you'll fall for someone else."

Zhou Li put down her laptop and smiled, "Lately, you seem to be losing confidence in yourself."

"Let's go to the sunroom and get some sun." Zhou Li pulled on Zhan Yubai's arm.

When Zhan Yu Bai heard this, his face paled slightly. He stood there for a long time without moving. Zhou Li asked, "Are you not going in"

Then she reacted, taking his arm, “When have I ever refused your request”

Ginger Mingzhu huddled in the closet, and suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

Then came the conversation between Zhan Yu Bai and Zhou Li.

"...Damn it." Jiang Mingzhu cursed under her breath. What was Zhou Li, crazy He actually brought Jian Yubai here!

Zhou Li listened to Zhan Yu Bai's words, but his attention was fixed on the clean and tidy bed.

The bedsheets were perfectly flat and neat, not a wrinkle out of place. There was no sign that anything had happened there before.

Zhou Li's gaze lingered on the wardrobe door for a moment, a smirk playing on his lips.

The air inside the cabinet was thin, hot, and stuffy. Ginger Mingzhu had been hiding inside for almost twenty minutes, sweating profusely from the heat.

She always hoped that Zhou Li could take Zhan Yu Bai away quickly so that she could leave this hellhole as soon as possible.

But Zhou Li, this dog thing, seemed to be deliberately going against her. He was always chatting with Zhan Yubai in the lounge.

Later, Chen Yu-bai received a phone call and suggested going to the hospital to see Chen Tan-yun with Zhou Li. The two then left.

Ginger Mingzhu pricked up her ears, listening to the two sets of footsteps walking away before she emerged from behind the cabinet.

Breathing in the long-awaited fresh air, I also sent my regards to the Zhou family.

He was definitely intentionally toying with her!

Ginger Mingzhu gritted her teeth, that damn dog, next time better not fall into her hands!

With everyone gone, Jiang Mingzhu wasn't polite. She took a shower in Zhou Li's resting room, picked up her clothes and put them on. When no one was outside, she went to the restroom at the coffee shop downstairs and then called Fang Qinyang.

In less than half an hour, Fang Qin Yang brought over a set of clothes.

When changing clothes, Fang Qinyang saw Jiang Mingzhu's collarbone and the love bites behind her ears, and let out a tsk.

Just as I was about to tease him, I noticed something was amiss. "Where's your ear stud"

Jiang Mingzhu's hand stopped moving as she dressed, reaching up to touch her right ear—her earring was gone.

Jiang Mingzhu began racking her brain, trying to remember. If she wasn't mistaken, before going to Zhou Li's office, the earring was still there.

Remembering the scene of Zhou Li, that madman, biting her ear and raving, Jiang Mingzhu's face grew even more unsightly.

" ... should have been reported to the Zhou Li Office." Jiang Mingzhu hurried to put on her clothes. "I'll go check it out."

Fang Qinyang was a little worried about her, "Don't worry, you won't lose it."

Fang Qin Yang knew exactly what those earrings meant to her. Over the years, Jiang Ming Zhu had changed countless pieces of jewelry.

Only the earrings were still worn.

As it was time to leave work, Jiang Mingzhu asked Fang Qin yang to wait downstairs for a while and went into the office building alone.

She rushed out of the elevator and, as she stopped in front of Zhou Li's office door, ran into Liang Cung.

Liang Cong: "Ginger Assistant, this is... "

Jiang Mingzhu calmed her emotions. "I need to speak with General Zhou about something."

Liang Cong: "Zhou and Jian are gone, find them tomorrow if you have something. The office is already locked."

Jiang Mingzhu glanced at the fingerprint lock on the door, her head throbbing.

I can't get it today, I'll have to come back tomorrow.

What if the cleaners throw it away when they come to tidy up tomorrow

"Why aren't you answering the phone" In the hospital ward, Zhan Yubai saw Zhou Li cut off the phone twice and was a little curious.

Zhou Li set her phone to silent and flipped it onto the sofa, saying calmly, "It's a spam call, ignore it."

Jan Yu Bai looked at the sofa, a stiff smile playing on her lips. already"Chen Yanqing hurriedly said, "How is that possible Jiang Jiang said you're quite good to her."Yuan Ye felt that he saw a green light flashing above Jian Yan Qing's head, flashing so brightly...
