After eating lunch, the two people walked out of the Ruan family home.

Under the somewhat unusual gaze of her grandfather and Lin Cheng, she brought Cheng YueLin into the car and closed the door.
—-

Then she finally relaxed.

As soon as they left the villa area, just as Ruan ZhiYin opened her mouth to ask, she turned her head and noticed that the man had adjusted his seat and loosened cuff links and was half laying down in exhaustion.

The light shone through the curtains in the car and landed on the straight bridge of his nose creating a handsome but three-dimensional outline.
His whole body was relaxed, his eyes were closed, and his breathing was calm and comfortable.
It appeared as though he was asleep.

She suddenly remembered that she could see exhaustion between his eyes.
When he was at the family home, he appeared to be bright and energetic.
In the end it was just hanging in there.

That's right.
The day of the wedding was extremely busy.
She had slept for the whole night but she was still exhausted.
This person still had to rush back to the company to deal with matters.
Even if he had a body made of steel, he would not be able to keep going.

So Ruan ZhiYin swallowed her words back.
Thinking that it was not far to the apartment, she also leaned back to rest.

Who knew that once she woke up, her surroundings were all unfamiliar.

When she opened her eyes, she was a bit dazed.
She frowned slightly and asked: “Where is this?”

“The parking lot of Lin Heng Building.”

The driver was not there.
The man quietly sat next to her.
Seeing that she had woken up, he opened the door to get out.

Ruan ZhiYin rubbed her eyes and followed.
After a few seconds she asked: “Why did we come to Lin Heng?”

Cheng YueLin turned his head and looked at her rare sleepy and dazed state.
Then he carelessly smiled and lightly laughed before replying: “Didn't you have questions? Let's go.”

Then he just gave her a view of his back.

Ruan ZhiYin immediately thought of the words he said at the family home and did not continue to speak and silently followed.
They got into the exclusive elevator to the president's office.

Previously Lin Heng was founded by Father Cheng as Heng Yu Real Estate.

Five years ago when Heng Yu went bankrupt and Father Cheng wewnt to jail, Cheng YueLin suddenly changed from an arrogant young master to a poor student who struggled with tuition fees.

At that time, Ruan ZhiYin had just gone abroad, but she had heard about the problems the Cheng family had run into.

It had caused her to feel very complicated.
After all, Cheng YueLin could be considered half a “student” of hers.
During the entire senior year, Cheng YueLin constantly exploited her into giving him tutoring sessions.

Her experience at the orphanage had always caused Ruan ZhiYin put a strong importance in getting an education.
After returning to the Ruan family, she had always provided support for the children of the orphanage to attend school.
She did not want to see Cheng YueLin withdraw from A University.
So she secretly asked someone to help him settle his tuition fees.

But he had guessed that it was her.
Not only did he return the money, he also said some unpleasant words.

Ruan ZhiYin was naturally angry at Cheng YueLin who was rejecting her good intentions.
At this time, he could not throw his weight around with a young master's temper.
But luckily he did not willfully drop out.
After a year of leave, he was able to graduate.

By the time she returned to the country, he was already standing at the top.
He did not let her see the slightest hint of a sorry figure.

At this time, other than the initial real estate business, Lin Heng had also expanded into other industries both at home and abroad.
It covered finance and technology and was slowly beginning to become a conglomerate.

Cheng YueLin did things decisively and he also had the heart to haggle over every little thing.
So no one wanted to be his opponent.

—

The entire top floor did not have any other employees.
Other than the office and lounge, there was even a pool table, a media room, and an indoor golf area.
It did not seem like an office, but it was more like a scarily large apartment.

Ruan ZhiYin looked around but could not help but sigh at the decadence and luxury.
This person definitely not allow himself to be treated poorly.

Cheng YueLin's attitude was relaxed and he sat behind a large desk.
He poured himself a glass of water and was even kind enough to pour her a glass.

As he passed it over, he quietly said: “Speak, what do you want to ask?”

Ruan ZhiYin pursed her lips and looked up to meet his gaze: “Why do you want to partner with the Ruan Company?”

“What do you think?”

“He carelessly met her gaze and his long fingers tapped against the desk.
His tone was completely flat.

Seeing his arrogant demeanor, Ruan ZhiYin could not help but furrow her brows: “How would I know?”

“Not even going to guess?” He chuckled.
For a moment his eyes were very thought provoking.
“Ruan YingYing.
You need to be more patient.
Maybe I have deep feelings for you and I do not find Lin Cheng very pleasant?”

When he said this, his eyes were filled with a hidden meaning, but the tone of his voice revealed his usual lazy tone.
He leaned back slightly and his fingers next to his glass of water tapped rhythmically.
His posture and attitude was extremely sloppy.

“President Cheng sure has patience.
You're even willing to take the time to joke around with me.” Ruan ZhiYin could not help but chuckle.
She did not take it to heart and brought the topic back to the issue.
“Then how about I change the question.
What do you need me to do?”

Cheng YueLin looked at her inquisitively and paused for a while on her face.
Then he raised his eyebrows slightly before retracting his gaze and finally brought out an attitude befit for negotiation.

“The BeiCheng project was given to Lin Heng, but everyone knows that that is because the Ruan Company does not have enough funding.
There was no way for them to complete this project independently.
You do not want your hard work for this project to benefit Lin Cheng, so you chose to work with me.
But –“

“If Lin Cheng decides to grab you and not let go.
Then your place within the Ruan Company will definitely not end well.”

His voice was neither fast nor slow and he listed out all the issues that she would face.
Then he paused for a moment before he raised an eyebrow and looked at her —
