Having said that, Chi Gui looked up again, furrowing his brows and gave him a glance, "What’s wrong with you? Why do you like to get so close when you talk?"
Wen Ruan’s body stiffened.
He slowly stood up straight, and the seductive smile on his face was replaced with a polite, gentle one, "Sorry, it’s a habit, I’ll correct it in the future."
Chi Gui kindly advised, "You really should change that, or else you’ll end up with no friends in the future."
A hint of stiffness crept onto Wen Ruan’s smile.
He stood a bit farther from Chi Gui, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now."
Coming out of Chi Gui’s office, Wen Ruan happened to see Shi Liyun passing by.
He smiled and greeted Shi Liyun.
Shi Liyun suddenly blushed, tightened her grip on the files she was holding, responded with a word, and hurried off. The source of thɪs content is novel~fire~net
Watching Shi Liyun’s retreating figure, Wen Ruan raised his hand and touched his chin.
His charm was still there, huh? Why then was it that Professor Chi just couldn’t receive it?
Thinking of this, Wen Ruan remembered the handsome man who had come to pick up Chi Gui before.
His usually gentle peach blossom eyes deepened a bit, suddenly carrying a dark, chilly hint.
The aura of that man... definitely wasn’t that of an ordinary person.
After leaving the research institute, Wen Ruan walked a few steps further, made sure he wouldn’t run into anyone he knew, and then took out his mobile phone to dial a number.
His voice, which was always smooth and gentle, was now frighteningly cold, "Check for me, who was the man who was following Professor Chi earlier."
After wrapping up his work at the research institute, Chi Gui took the C-Level member training certification early the next morning and went to find Miranda.
After the training assessment, D-Level members wouldn’t stay at the International Medical Alliance but would return to their own workplaces.
Chi Gui sent a message to Miranda and found out she wasn’t at work, she was resting at home.
Miranda sent Chi Gui an address.
Chi Gui had never been to that place, but when Fu Si came to pick her up and saw the address, he raised his eyebrows, "Get in the car, I’ll take you there."
The car stopped in front of a somewhat dirty and messy alley.
Since arriving in M country, whether for work or living, Chi Gui had always been in safe and prosperous areas.
It was her first time coming to a place that emitted such decrepitude, like a slum.
Getting out of the car, Chi Gui slightly frowned and looked at the address in her hands.
"This is the place." Fu Si took Chi Gui’s phone, glanced down at it with calm phoenix eyes, as if he was already accustomed to the atmosphere here, "Stay close to me and be careful."
Saying so, his long fingers naturally grasped Chi Gui’s hand.
Chi Gui was taken aback for a moment.
The man’s hand was warm and dry, with some calluses on his fingertips. They didn’t seem to come from rough labor, rather, they were more like... calluses from holding a gun for a long time.
Chi Gui couldn’t help but look up at Fu Si.
But she saw Fu Si was also looking down at her, those phoenix eyes dark under the shadow, as if inked, deep and abysmal as if they could suck one in.
Meeting Chi Gui’s gaze, his eyes slightly lifted, and his low voice was indescribably pleasant, "If you are scared, I am always welcome for you to dive into my arms."
She forcefully pulled her hand back and walked ahead.
Fu Si looked regretfully at the palm of his hand, as if the soft touch of the girl still lingered there, and he couldn’t help but gently squeeze his palm, following behind Chi Gui.
From outside the alley, it looked just like an old and decaying lane, but upon entering, Chi Gui discovered that at each alley mouth, there were several skinny men squatting or standing.
