Chapter 222 Exposing the Little Trick
"Did you pinch yourself? Does it hurt a lot?"
Zhou Xian's smile froze imperceptibly, but it was enough for Gu Nanfeng to catch his slip.
Ha, you really did pinch yourself!
"You think pinching it a couple of times will turn it into a hickey? Young Master Zhou, you've grown up so much, you probably don't even know what a hickey looks like!"
With a cool, measured tone, Zhou Xian's expression changed slightly with each word he uttered.
"You must have gone to great lengths to deliberately lure me here and then enjoy your elaborate one-woman show."
"Perhaps I should applaud you, but your performance was full of flaws."
Gu Nanfeng smiled faintly, and even though he was being aggressive, he still maintained his composure.
His suit was impeccably tailored, while Zhou Xian, shirtless, was completely exposed.
Gu Nanfeng glanced at the tightly closed door in another direction and chuckled softly, "Someone showing up here, could it be some low-class, despicable excuse like the combination lock is broken or the power is out, and then taking advantage of the girl's gentleness and kindness to beg for a night's stay?"
The answer can be guessed directly.
The smile on Zhou Xian's lips faded, and he stared directly into Gu Nanfeng's fox-like eyes.
The voice was kept extremely low, yet every word was clearly heard by Gu Nanfeng.
"The method may be a bit despicable, but as long as it works, that's all that matters."
"You virtuous people use upright and honorable methods, while we despicable people use low-class and vulgar methods."
"But so what?"
"At the very least, I'm standing here now, while you can only stand outside the door, even though you're practically jumping up and down inside, you still have to maintain a false sense of composure and dignity, standing here and pretending to be polite to me."
Zhou Xian paused deliberately, observing Gu Nanfeng's expression closely. Seeing that his expression finally changed, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
"Brother Nanfeng, have I exposed you? You know my methods are despicable, but in order to maintain your composure, you won't even expose me."
"After all, you have to put on a show in front of her and establish your noble and proud image, not be a despicable person who tattles behind her back."
Zhou Xian knew Gu Nanfeng's temperament perfectly, which is why he deliberately made so many small moves.
And dealing with a love rival! That's not despicable, that's clever!
Having finally gained access to the inner sanctum, he felt compelled to assert his authority.
Gu Nanfeng lowered his eyes, and facing Zhou Xian's confident look, he slowly said, "Zhou Xian, you overestimate me."
I took out my phone and opened the page showing the call in progress.
Zhou Xian's eyes trembled slightly.
The door creaked open behind me, revealing a small head.
Her eyes peered through the crack in the door at the man standing in the entryway, shirtless with red marks on his skin.
Then she glanced at another man in a suit and tie outside the door.
The atmosphere was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Jiang Zhouzhou was also facing such an awkward situation for the first time. She scratched her head and said, "Since it's dawn, Zhou Xian should hurry back! Brother Nanfeng also has to go to the company. Be careful on the way."
Gu Nanfeng smiled, calmly hung up the phone, and said meaningfully, "I'm relieved to know you're safe. When I heard the noise upstairs, I thought a thief had broken in."
When he didn't receive a reply from Jiang Zhouzhou on WeChat, he called her twice more.
He rang the doorbell the moment the call connected.
Gu Nanfeng didn't say much, leaving the remaining problems to Jiang Zhouzhou to solve.
I believe that after this incident, someone will have to keep a low profile for a long time.
After Gu Nanfeng left, Jiang Zhouzhou walked to the sofa, picked up Zhou Xian's clothes, and handed them to him.
"Put it on!"
His tone was flat, revealing no emotion.
Zhou Xian reached out his arm, took the clothes from him, and obediently put them on.
The somber atmosphere made Zhou Xian feel inexplicably depressed, especially since Jiang Zhouzhou's expression was too calm, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.
"Jiang Zhouzhou, aren't you going to get angry?" I asked her tentatively.
Jiang Zhouzhou shook her head and said truthfully, "It's my own fault for being stupid. I knew what kind of person you were, but I still believed you so easily."
Upon hearing this answer, Zhou Xian stood frozen in place.
This is even worse than getting angry and yelling at him!
"No, it's my fault. Zhouzhou is kind-hearted and kind-hearted. She took in a homeless neighbor, but this neighbor is despicable and shameless. He took advantage of Zhouzhou's kindness to break into her house and deliberately did things that caused misunderstandings. Please punish him however you like! He will definitely not dare to complain. You can even make him kneel on the remote control."
After rambling on and on about something he did wrong, a man actually went to look for the remote control.
Jiang Zhouzhou pressed her temples and said helplessly, "I'm really not angry."
She was probably immune to Zhou Xian by now; no matter what he did, she subconsciously took it for granted.
"However, I really dislike being deceived. If you encounter any trouble or are unhappy, you can tell me directly, and maybe I will... indulge you occasionally. But you can't deceive me; it makes me feel stupid."
Her voice was soft, and even when she was angry, she couldn't say anything too harsh, which made it all the more heartbreaking.
The atmosphere became quiet again.
Zhou Xian's lips moved, breaking the silence: "It's not that you're stupid, it's that there are too many bad people like me."
Jiang Zhouzhou rolled her eyes at him, both amused and annoyed, and said, "There aren't many people as bad as you."
Zhou Xian retorted instinctively, "Gu Nanfeng is much worse than me."
This cunning fox has used all his tricks on him.
Make him lose miserably.
Moreover, none of the men surrounding her were good people.
Jiang Zhouzhou, too lazy to listen any longer, pushed him out of the room. "Alright, since the door can be opened, hurry up and go back to your own home! And..."
His gaze lingered on Zhou Xian's collarbone, where the bright red marks were striking.
"You need to wear clothes properly from now on. It's not good for people to see so many hickeys."
Zhou Xian's expression froze instantly. He wanted to explain quickly, but Jiang Zhouzhou had already closed the door.
"Jiang Zhouzhou, isn't this..."
"Open the door and let me explain."
“This is not a hickey. You have always kept yourself pure. You cannot slander my innocence.”
The doorbell was rang again and again, but the person inside wouldn't open it.
"I admit I pinched myself. If anyone can leave a hickey on me, it can only be you."
Jiang Zhouzhou, who was leaning against the door, blushed when she heard the noise outside.
How can he say anything like that...?
Fortunately, it finally quieted down outside.
Finally, Zhou Xian's grinding teeth could be heard again: "You heartless bastard, you did it on purpose! You knew it wasn't a hickey, but you deliberately made me anxious..."
