Chapter Eight, The Forests Are Drenched in Color (Eight)

Lin Jinran's heart skipped a beat

Suddenly, the cigarette was pulled away from behind.

"Hmph, what is your name?" Ji Han took a step closer instead of leaving, narrowing her eyes slightly. "You don't look like much of a bodyguard. Who exactly are you, and what is your relationship with Brother Zhengxian?"

Lin Jinran closed her eyes, striving to endure the suffocating pain surging in her chest. When Rui Rui died in her arms, she was covered in blood; she survived, yet allowed Rui Rui to be buried beneath those cold stones

I remember when she said this, his eyes lit up, filled with tears of joy; that expression, no matter how you looked at it, was heart-wrenching

Zhou Zhengxian

Lin Jinran took it and handed it to Zhou Zhengxian, saying, "Drink it."

Three people are sitting in the car

Old Yang lowered his gaze and spoke to himself, unaware of Lin Jinran's unusual expression and her slightly trembling hands

Alright

Ask away

Zhou Zhengxian waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Lin Jinran said, "Thank you, Dr. Yang, for the reminder, but... I have a question I would like to ask you."

These two children, the elder is 15 years old, and the younger is only 8 years old. This earthquake is truly devastating

Zhou Zhengxian's expression suddenly darkened

Lin Jinran was taken aback and suddenly turned to look back.

Did you say that Brother Zhengxian is coming this way, really

Isn't he here? Just now, this waiter said he came this way, how could he possibly not be here

Oh, by the way, just before, the Third Young Master came here and asked if you had returned. Old Yang raised his eyes and said, The matter regarding the Third Young Master has been conveyed to me by Yunqing, so you should be more cautious in the future

As a normal woman, seeing someone she likes with such a beautiful "bodyguard" is naturally displeasing

Lin Jinran raised an eyebrow, "Back then, the way the children refused to take their medicine was just like you are now. Usually, during those times, they needed me to coax them. Mr. Zhou, do you... also need a bit of coaxing?"

Zhou Zhengxian glanced at her, "?"

"You, you all..." Ji Han's gaze flickered back and forth between the two, her words becoming unclear. She could never have imagined that just half an hour ago, the man who had given her a gift, praised her beauty, and clearly showed interest in her could, in the blink of an eye, be holding another woman in front of her

"Jinran, you are back," Lao Yang said, sitting amidst a pile of traditional Chinese medicine and tinkering with it, as he greeted her upon her entrance

The unscrupulous merchant, indeed, is an unscrupulous merchant

"Ahem." Zhou Zhengxian suddenly clenched his fist to cover his lips and coughed twice. Zhou Yan's expression tightened, and he quickly took out the medicine box. "Young Master, it happens to be time for your medication now; please take it first."

Zhou Yan, "Puff!"

Zhou Yan was taken aback, "Uh? Oh, oh, alright."

As Lin Jinran was being dragged away by him, she completely understood in her heart that this guy was using her to get rid of that troublesome woman, employing a very insidious and cruel method to strike at Ji Han. But... how could it be that things were fine before, yet now he has "changed his heart".

Zhou Zhengxian had not yet reacted when the woman in front of him suddenly grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the men's restroom, saying, "If you don't want to deal with people, then don't come out."

Thank you, Dr. Yang

From that time on, the Third Young Master underwent a significant change in temperament. During that period, he cried and demanded that the Eldest Young Master hand over the person to him. You mentioned that the Eldest Young Master took that young girl to Sichuan, but how could he have anticipated that this would happen? Moreover, the Eldest Young Master was not having an easy time either, locking himself in his room day after day, not allowing anyone to enter... Sigh, and then there is Old Zhou, who suddenly lost two daughters; it is truly pitiful... Hey, Jinran, where are you going.

Lin Jinran suddenly stood up and walked towards the door, "I apologize, Dr. Yang, I suddenly feel a bit unwell"

She gave him a gentle push inside, and then leisurely walked out herself

Lin Jinran spread his hands and said, "Mr. Zhou, I am not just a decoration; I must take responsibility for your health. Therefore, when I say you need to take your medicine, you must cooperate."

Lin Jinran glanced at Zhou Yan and took the medicine from his hand. She did not say anything, but directly pulled Zhou Zhengxian's hand over, forcibly pouring the pill into his palm. "Zhou Yan, pour a glass of water."

Old Yang looked at her with suspicion, and Lin Jinran continued, "I have no other intentions, I just feel that he is very different from Mr. Zhou"

Lin Jinran nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed..."

"What’s wrong, can’t wait to leave?" Zhou Zhengxian interrupted him, saying with a face full of "gentleness," "Since you want to leave, then let us leave."

Mr. Zhou, why don't you let go first

"Leaving?" Ji Han turned around and glared at the waiter, "Then why are you still saying that here!"

Ji Han, "You!"

Zhou Zhengxian in the inner room

Zhou Zhengxian's gaze was somewhat eerie, "What are you doing"

The two walked closely together, he ambiguously wrapped his arms around her, his warm breath and faint scent of traditional Chinese medicine enveloping her... Lin Jinran felt somewhat flustered, instinctively rejecting the feelings in her heart, "The way you treat Miss Ji, what kind of pleasant cooperation is that"

Miss Ji, do you have any other matters? If not, I will take my leave.

Enter

Ah, I understand what you mean. Old Yang sighed and said, This child is somewhat disobedient. In fact, he was not like this when he was younger; back then, he was very well-behaved and somewhat reticent.

"Young Master." Zhou Yan saw the figures of the two and hurried over, "What brings you here?"

"The performance must be complete, and everyone is watching you. Do you want me to let go?" Zhou Zhengxian said softly

Lin Jinran leisurely washed his hands and said, "Not here."

Yes, just now I was at the door receiving guests, and Mr. Zhou asked me for directions

Rui Rui, it is because the elder sister is too useless

No need, you can just go over there and help them sort the medicine

Lin Jinran chuckled dryly twice, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for the compliment"

The forest is dyed in colors

"I am not feeling well," Old Yang said with concern, "You should go back to your room and rest for a while. There is nothing to worry about here."

Lin Jinran nodded and stepped forward, "Doctor Yang, do you need any assistance"

Lin Jinran hurriedly walked out of the pharmacy, not knowing where she was headed. She had only heard about her past from someone's lips, her Rui Rui, and... they felt as if their hearts were about to explode.

Zhou Zhengxian seemed to have just now discovered Ji Han's presence, "Miss Ji, you are here too?"

Lin Jinran wore a face of "sincerity" and said, "Just because he hasn't seen him doesn't mean that Mr. Zhou is still here, right, Miss Ji? If you are looking for him, you might as well go out and search again."

Zhou Zhengxian , `` ... ... ''

Lin Jinran took a piece of paper to wipe his hands, "I was just here, but after using the restroom, I definitely have to leave. Am I supposed to stay here to eat?"

... ...

Ji Han's eyes widened, "Brother Zhengxian, you..."

There is nothing more, the matter has been concluded, we can leave now

The delicate voice of a woman, accompanied by the "click-clack" sound of high heels, approached from a distance. Lin Jinran glanced at Zhou Zhengxian, only to see a fleeting glimpse of dissatisfaction in the latter's eyes

Zhou Yan felt somewhat troubled, yet he did not dare to say anything. It was evident that this young master frequently resisted taking medicine.

"Bodyguard? I am not one," Lin Jinran raised an eyebrow, "I am his personal..."

"Unfortunately, that little girl passed away later," Old Yang said with a face full of regret. "I remember that when the Third Young Master learned that the little girl had died in the earthquake, he went mad trying to find her. But at that time, aftershocks were constant, buildings had collapsed, and some mountains had landslides. At that time, the number of missing persons from the earthquake was nearly 20,000. They said they were missing, but in fact, they were already dead. Alas, how could one possibly find anyone in such circumstances..." The number of missing persons from the earthquake was nearly 20,000. They said they were missing, but in fact, they were already dead. Alas, how could one possibly find anyone in such circumstances...

The contract has been signed, and from now on, I will have the final say

Miss Ji, I wish you a pleasant cooperation in the future. We will not disturb you any longer and will take our leave first

Hehe

"Here, water." Zhou Yan handed it over.

Zhou Zhengxian did not move

Ji Han glared, while Lin Jinran looked at the nearly explosive Ji Han with amusement, promptly adding the unfinished words, "Doctor"

Her voice was clearly soft and magnetic, yet to her ears, it was filled with a rebellious flavor. Lin Jinran sighed, realizing why she had been so dismissive towards the father and daughter of the Ji family upon entering; it turned out she had already made her plans, taking the initiative into her own hands, rendering the two of them completely unnecessary to placate.

"Lin Jinran, wait for me at the door, where do you want to go?" Suddenly, Zhou Zhengxian's voice came from the entrance of the men's restroom. Lin Jinran turned around, instantly speechless, having already said that you were not here, are you trying to ruin my scene?

Zhou Zhengxian completely ignored her gaze and walked directly up to her, very affectionately... embraced her waist...

Lin Jinran sat down beside him, "As far as I know, the Zhou family has a very strict approach to the education of their younger generation. The third young master... it shouldn't have been like this from the very beginning, right"

As Lin Jinran pretended to wash her hands, Ji Han and the waiter happened to arrive at the same time. Ji Han glanced at the woman in front of her in the mirror, and when she realized that this was someone brought by Zhou Zhengxian, her eyes clearly lost any semblance of goodwill.

Oh, good

Ji Han, after listening, glared at Lin Jinran, "Are you deceiving me?"

At that time, she said, I am your friend, and I will play with you

The waiter looked panicked, "No, it's impossible. I have been standing over there in the corridor, if someone had come over, I would definitely have seen them"

Hello, is Brother Zhengxian here

The Third Young Master was quite strictly disciplined during his childhood; he did not often play with children of the same age and had few friends. Oh, by the way, there was indeed a little girl who used to play very well with him.

Lin Jinran silently agreed in her heart. She remembered that he used to enjoy arguing with her, yet he was very well-behaved in front of others. ... On one occasion, she even saw him hiding in the garden, secretly crying. When she asked him what was wrong, he said that his parents did not allow him to play with his classmates at school, saying that he had no friends

Saying this, Zhou Zhengxian directly embraced Lin Jinran and walked out.

Upon returning to the Zhou residence, Lin Jinran went straight to the pharmacy. Along the way, the image of Zhou Zhengxian grimacing while taking medicine lingered in her mind; tsk tsk, that look certainly did lack the demeanor befitting a young master.

Lin Jinran's lips twitched slightly, "Mr. Zhou, your hand..."

Ji Han slightly raised her chin, stared at Lin Jinran for a moment, and said disdainfully, "Hmph, I don't think Brother Zhengxian would be interested in someone like you."

You are welcome

Stepping out of Ji Han's line of sight, Zhou Zhengxian also straightforwardly released her

"Crack, crack." Lin Jinran walked to a small corner and picked up a lighter, but despite pressing it several times, no flame emerged. The frustration in her heart intensified, and even the cigarette held between her index and middle fingers trembled slightly

Lin Jinran curled her lips and said, "Mr. Zhou, seeing you like this reminds me of my internship at the hospital back then"

It seems necessary to bring you along in the future; I never knew you could be of such use. Zhou Zhengxian looked at her with a sense of "gratification"
