Chapter 105: EAT OR BE EATEN

Machine Translation

Outside the window, pavilions and Pavilions, rockery fountains, and street lamps all changed their colors. This classical and Western villa was exquisitely designed. It had both the elegance of eastern architecture and the magnificence of Western architecture. It was like a piece of solid music, lively and heavy, reflecting each other.

It was very quiet here. There were no other homes. Only this beautiful villa was built in the middle of the lake and connected to the shore with a wooden bridge. It was surrounded by mountains on one side and water on three sides. The trees were luxuriant and the air was fresh and pleasant.

Although it was winter, the trees on the mountains were still luxuriant and lush. They did not lose their leaves because of the cold weather.

Xin Zimo put his hands in his trouser pockets and stood idly by her side, watching the winter night scenery with her.

The shadows of the two people were reflected on the window. Du Anran's Sapphire blue dress was gentle and beautiful, and Xin zimo's white shirt was elegant and graceful. One smiled gently, and the other looked doting.

After standing for about half an hour, Xin Zimo took her hand. "Are you cold? "

She wanted to pull his hand away, but she found that his warm hands were holding her hand tightly. She shook her head. "I'm not cold. "

"Go to bed early. You have to wake up early tomorrow, " Xin Zimo said with concern.

"Okay. " She also knew that it was getting late, so she reluctantly left the window.

"I'll take you to your room. " Xin Zimo did not let go of her hand. He held her hand and walked to the room on the second floor.

"I know you, " she whispered. She was not an idiot. How could she not remember the way she walked.

"Alright, you can go up by yourself! " Xin Zimo sent her down the stairs and pointed to a small room on the first floor. "I'll sleep downstairs. Call me if you need me. "

"Okay... " Du Anran let go of his hand and walked down the stairs to the room. That night, there was something strange in her heart. She could not tell what exactly was different. She only knew that at this moment, her heart was in a mess.

However, when she pushed open the door to her room, her heart skipped a beat. She did not notice it when Xin zimo carried her in. Now, she realized that there was a crystal wedding photo hanging on the wall of the room.

It was her favorite photo when she took the photo. In the photo, she was wearing a white wedding dress. She was standing face to face with Xin Zimo, who was wearing a black custom-made suit. Their foreheads were pressed against each other, and they were hugging each other happily.

There was not a trace of unnatural expression on Xin Zimo's face in the photo. This made du Anran especially admire him.

He clearly did not love her and used her in various ways, but he was able to hide it. He could even smile so naturally and blissfully when he took such a wedding photo that went against his heart.

She sincerely admired him. As expected of someone who was used to hiding knives in his smile in the business world, especially someone like him who had buried his thoughts deeply. How could he easily smile from the bottom of his heart.

She looked at the wedding photo in a daze and smiled at herself. Her smile was very uncomfortable.

There was also a completed photo album on the dressing table. Du Anran did not have the courage to flip through it and quietly let it lie there.

Xin Zimo, who was downstairs, watched Du Anran go upstairs before he walked back to his room with ease. Seeing how much she liked this villa tonight, he thought that his thoughts were not in vain.

After he went to his room, he stood by the window and smoked a cigarette. Then, he called Sun Ping.

"I'll go to London tomorrow. I'll leave all the matters of the Xin Group to you. When I return, you must give me a satisfactory answer for everything. "This includes the incident with the video call, Liu Wanwan being brought to the church, the incident where the drugs were found in the goods, and the matter of handling the Golden Plate Garden. "

"understood. " Sun Ping nodded. He was very grateful for Xin Zimo's trust in him.

"during the time that I'm in London, if there's nothing particularly important, you're not allowed to disturb me. "

"Yes, I know. "

"In addition, the company's finances have been tampered with by someone. Once I find out who it is, I won't be lenient. The initiative is in your hands. I won't let anyone who betrays me have a good ending! "

Xin Zimo put out the cigarette in his hand. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness. He no longer had the gentleness he had when he was with Du Anran at night.

"Don't worry, I'll find out who tampered with the financial statements as soon as possible. " Sun Ping Knew Xin Zimo's personality and temper very well. He was the kind of person who could not tolerate sand in his eyes.

"Okay. " Xin Zimo left the window and slowly walked to the bedside.

"I wish you a safe journey and a successful partnership with the Char Bank in London, " Sun Ping said.

"I will. " Xin Zimo's face was full of confidence. What he wanted to do, he would not lose.

After hanging up the phone, Xin zimo realized that there was a missed call on his phone. Just as he was wondering who was calling, his phone rang.

It was the missed call.

Just as he pressed the answer button, a sweet female voice came from the other end, with a hint of coquettishness and dissatisfaction. "CEO Xin is really a busy man. You finally picked up my call! "

Xin zimo frowned. "Who are you? "

"CEO Xin is so forgetful that even I can't remember! " The woman was obviously very dissatisfied. "I'm Laura Mi Li! "

"Oh, it's you, " Xin Zimo said indifferently, without a trace of enthusiasm. He had never been very enthusiastic about women in the entertainment industry, even though Mi Li had become popular throughout city a.

"CEO Xin... " Mi Li said coquettishly, "are we still shooting the Xin Group's promotional film? I'm running out of time... "

"You can discuss this with Sun Ping! " Xin Zimo was a little impatient. He really didn't know how his phone number was leaked.

"What's there to discuss with Secretary Sun? I love to discuss with President Xin... " Mi Li leaned against her leopard-print Leather Chair and said coquettishly.

"Is that so? Since you like to discuss with me so much, wait for me to come back from my business trip. We'll discuss it 'properly' ! " Xin Zimo said coldly.

However, through the phone, Mi Li actually didn't hear the coldness in Xin Zimo's tone. Instead, she said happily, "okay... now that you mention it, I'm relieved. No matter what, I have to leave the time and schedule to you, President Xin, right? "

Xin Zimo sneered and did not speak. He was waiting for this kind of woman who did not know what was good for her to hang up on herself.

However, Mi Li was not going to let it go. She asked in a coquettish manner, "then where are you now, CEO Xin? Are you busy? Why don't we talk about the promotional video first? "

"I'm here? Ellen 'SBAR, do you want to come over yourself, or do you want me to pick you up? "

"Is that so? I'm not far away, so I don't need you to pick me up. Wait for me for a while, I'LL BE THERE SOON! " Mi Li said happily.

"Alright, I'll wait for you. "

After hanging up the phone, Xin zimo smiled coldly. Every day, he would meet a few women who were like moths to a flame, but none of them had any new tricks up their sleeves.

Xin zimo rubbed his temples and closed his eyes sleepily. However, he could not fall asleep no matter how hard he tried. He was thinking, what was that little woman doing upstairs?

Thinking about it, he could not fall asleep anymore. Just as he was thinking about whether he should go upstairs to take a look, mi Li's call came.

It was quite fast... ... Xin Zimo looked at the number that was jumping on the screen and sneered ...

"CEO Xin, where are you? I came over, but I couldn't see you... " Mi Li was panting.

"I'm sorry, Miss Mi. A friend came over to look for me for an urgent matter. I've already left. I'll make it up to you next time. " Xin Zimo lied without blinking. "I'm really sorry. "

Mi Li was very disappointed when she heard that. As expected of an actor, she almost cried. "CEO Xin, you... why didn't you wait for him... He came over sincerely to discuss a collaboration with you. How could you... "

"It's my fault. I'll treat you to a meal next time. "

Mi Li saw that Xin Zimo's attitude was good and believed it. She thought that he had no choice but to leave the bar, so she immediately broke into a smile. "Then it's a deal. Next time, you have to take the initiative to ask me out. "

"Okay, " Xin Zimo said perfunctorily.

Mi Li then hung up the phone reluctantly. If Xin Zimo didn't see that she was popular for a while and was still useful, he wouldn't give her such a face.

He hated women who didn't know how to look at him, and he also hated women who looked at him. However, up until now, the only woman who dared to look at him was Du Anran.

Xin zimo quietly lay on the bed, thinking a lot.

This villa was luxurious and quiet. The lights were bright, and the night was peaceful.

At four o'clock in the morning, Du Anran was woken up by Xin Zimo. When du Anran opened her eyes, she saw that Xin Zimo's beautiful face was right in front of her.

"How did you get in! " Du Anran instinctively dodged back. She couldn't believe it. Last night, she even reset the password at the door.

Xin zimo smiled innocently. He stared at her for a long time before he said, "the password for 654321? "

"Uh... " Du Anran lowered her head in defeat. She was afraid that she would not be able to remember the complicated password, so she made a simple one. However, it did seem a little too simple.

"How can I say hello to you? ! " Xin Zimo shook his head as if he could not be taught. He tried two passwords this morning and successfully got in.

"You... go out first... " Du Anran knew that she had to get up, but she could not change in front of Xin Zimo ...

"The plane leaves at 5:10 pm. There's still an hour left. " Xin zimo looked at his watch.

"An hour? " Du Anran hurriedly lifted the blanket and complained, "why didn't you call me earlier... "

"I'll let you sleep more. " Xin zimo smiled, but there was no trace of anxiety on his face. He conveniently placed a pocket beside her bed. "I've prepared some clothes for you. Let's see if they fit. "

Du Anran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "then you... go out first... "

Xin Zimo bent down, leaned close to her face, and whispered into her ear with an ambiguous smile. "You'll be mine sooner or later... "

Du Anran really wanted to punch him, but a certain someone consciously stood up and walked out. Before he left, he didn't forget to smile at her.

Du anran quickly locked the door from the inside and stayed in the room with the wolf. There were only two outcomes. Either she would be eaten by the wolf, or she would turn into a wolf and fight to the death.

Du Anran knew that she didn't have the latter potential, so she had to guard against the wolf.

She sighed and took out the clothes Xin Zimo had bought from her pocket.
