C9 Secret

Lih Lengjue's eyes were half-closed, so no one could see his emotions clearly. "Bring it in."

The manager respectfully placed it on the table and turned to leave.

"Wait," the man stopped him. "The dishes are what she likes."

The manager looked at Lih Lengjue in surprise, but did not ask any more questions and left.

His gaze fell on the document. Actually, it was not something important. It was just a document that recorded Ji Wanzhi's preferences.

Time... Five years ago.

Could Ji Wanzhi come here to eat five years ago?

Lih Lengjue raised his eyebrows. Could she have eaten here five years ago?

Thinking of Ji Wanzhi's background that he could not find out, Lih Lengjue narrowed his eyes dangerously.

This woman's background was not simple.

"Knock! Knock! Knock! Someone knocked on the door.

Ji Wanzhi poked her head in from outside. "Director Lih."

"Why are you standing there?" The man put away the documents without batting an eyelid. He looked up at her and spat out two words, "Come here."

His cold and fierce gaze seemed to see through her.

Ji Wanzhi's heart shivered. This man shouldn't have known something, right?

After Ji family was taken revenge, they took advantage of the fire to rob others. There were many people who threw stones at them while they were down. There were even more people who wanted to get rid of the root of the problem. If their identity was discovered... If Lih Lengjue was also one of the enemies of the Ji family, he would be finished sooner or later. She was afraid that she would die even faster.

She carefully looked at Lih Lengjue, but found that the man had already retracted his sharp gaze. He lowered his head to look at his phone, and his fingertips rhythmically tapped on the table.

... He shouldn't have noticed, right?

If she was discovered, she would immediately run to a place where Lih Lengjue couldn't find her.

Ji Wanzhi muttered to herself and sat opposite Lih Lengjue. She asked embarrassingly, "Have you already ordered the dishes?"

She deliberately asked this because she did not want Lih Lengjue to be suspicious.

Unexpectedly, when Lih Lengjue heard her, he smiled coldly. He raised his eyes that were as sharp as knives and said, "Don't you know if you want to order the dishes?"

Ji Wanzhi's heart shook. This man really knew...

But she still had to pretend on her face.

She blinked blankly and looked at Lih Lengjue's cold face as she asked blankly, "Me? What should I know?"

"When I went to the bathroom just now, did Director Lih already order the dishes?" Ji Wanzhi looked innocent.

"I hate lying." Lih Lengjue said meaningfully. His deep and dark eyes fell on her body like needles, making her feel uneasy.

Ji Wanzhi suppressed her uneasiness and nodded. "Okay, I understand."

Very quickly, the waiter brought the dishes over, breaking the awkwardness between them.

Ji Wanzhi focused her eyes and saw that it was all her favorite food.

Finished. This time, she definitely knew.

Quietly sizing up the man's expression, Ji Wanzhi revealed a touch of sadness, "It is all food that I do not like to eat. Could it be that these are what Director Lih loves to eat?"

Without waiting for the man to reply, Ji Wanzhi continued, "So it turns out that there is such a huge difference in taste between us. Looking at our eating habits, it doesn't seem appropriate between us. How about we forget about the matter of our fiancée?"

Not like it?

Lih Lengjue raised his eyebrows without batting an eyelid. His gaze, which was like a scalpel, fell sharply on Ji Wanzhi's body, as if he wanted to tear apart her disguise layer by layer.

Unfortunately, Ji Wanzhi had dealt with this kind of gaze too many times. At that moment, she seemed even more innocent. "I'm just speaking the truth. Director Lih, why are you looking at me like that?"

Could it really not be her?

A trace of doubt flashed across Lih Lengjue's heart. Looking at Ji Wanzhi's confused and innocent expression, this was the first time Lih Lengjue doubted his own judgment.

"If you don't like it, then let's do it again." Suppressing his doubts in his heart, Lih Lengjue said faintly.

"No need, no need. Eating here must cost a lot of money. Actually, we can all eat here. Let's not waste food."

Ji Wanzhi ate like she was sitting on pins and needles, afraid that Lih Lengjue would notice something.

After lunch, just as she returned to her office and sat in her office, the door was kicked open with a bang.

Gu Qing stood proudly at the door and looked at Ji Wanzhi with disdain, "Ugly woman, don't think that you can marry Jue just because you temporarily confuse Jue."

When she thought that the Jue that she admired would be snatched away by another woman, she gritted her teeth with hatred. Moreover, this woman also looked good on her.

Ji Wanzhi did not even raise her head, "Are all young ladies of Gu family so uneducated?"

Gu Qing's expression changed. Ji Wanzhi's words just happened to poke her sore spot, "What did you say?"

The originally cute and lovable girl's face had a ferocious expression and rushed in aggressively. She suddenly slammed her palm on the desk, "I am the young lady of the Gu family. Who do you think you are to accuse me of not having a tutor? Are you worthy?"

She was the illegitimate daughter of Gu family. A few years ago, she was taken back by her father.

The bastard that came back from the outside might even have to take away the family property. Needless to say, Gu Qing was not welcomed in the Gu family.

Fortunately, she was cute and her words were likable. She was quite liked by her brothers.

However, this was still a thorn in her heart. Ji Wanzhi happened to bump into it.

Ji Wanzhi's gaze quietly fell on Gu Qing's palm that was on the table, "This was what Miss Gu displayed."

Was she worthy?

Huh, how could she not be worthy?

"This is my office. Miss Gu barged in without permission. It is already disrespectful to me. Secondly, the Gu family has many businesses related to Star Eyes. How would I know if Miss Gu came here to steal business secrets? I can just call the police and let the police take a look. Miss Gu's tutor. " Ji Wanzhi smiled and looked up at her. The coldness in her eyes made Gu Qing's entire body tremble uncontrollably.

The aura of a natural born superior, elegant and confident made her feel ashamed of her inferiority.

"You..." Gu Qing straightened her neck and stared at her, "Don't be too proud of yourself. A woman like you who only loves money will never get Jue's love!"

"En, thank you for Miss Gu's concern." Ji Wanzhi nodded her head. Her casual manner almost made Gu Qing spit out the words in her mouth.

Why did she feel a sense of powerlessness when her fist hit cotton? At this time, shouldn't she be very angry under normal circumstances? After arguing with her, Lih Lengjue saw Ji Wanzhi's selfish and hoarse manner and made Lih Lengjue hate her.

Shouldn't it be like this? !

Unfortunately, Ji Wanzhi had no interest in Lih Lengjue to begin with. Gu Qing's actions would not stimulate her at all.

"Continue to pretend," Gu Qing snorted. "There are many outstanding women around Jue. You will be abandoned sooner or later."

"Okay." Ji Wanzhi put down the pen in her hand and stretched. "Miss Gu is not leaving yet? Is she waiting for me to call the police and send you to the police station for afternoon tea?"

As she said, Ji Wanzhi pretended to take out her phone and slowly pressed 110.

Gu Qing's face was ashen, "We will wait and see. You can be proud now. There will always be a time when you cry."
