Who moved her body?

Zeng Meiqian, linking arms with Guan Jie, asked with a smile, "Is dealing with the elders in your family more tiring than anything else?"

"I would gladly go through fire and water to marry you, let alone deal with your family."

Zeng Meiqian reached out and covered Guan Jie's mouth.

"I wouldn't want my husband to go through fire and water. I want to cherish you every day. Oh, and promise me you'll never disappear without a trace again. Also, you're not allowed to do anything dangerous, because from today onwards, you're the Zeng family's recognized son-in-law. What would I do if you were in any danger?"

Zeng Meiqian was moved, her watery eyes filled with worry, and Guan Jie's heart ached for her. He cupped Zeng Meiqian's face in his hands, looked into her eyes, and promised, "From now on, you are my family, my only family. I will love you as much as I love my own heart, and we will stay together until we grow old."

"Let's grow old together!"

Guan Jie pulled Zeng Meiqian into his arms. "Let's go to your place tonight. My place hasn't been cleaned in ages, it must be covered in dust."

Just as the two were gazing at each other with deep affection, a clear cough sounded behind them.

"Mr. Zeng, it seems I've come at the wrong time."

Guan Jie and Zeng Meiqian turned their heads at the same time and saw a man in a white suit with a rose pinned to his breast pocket leaning against a pillar not far from them. His slightly thin lips were slightly upturned, and a pair of gold-plated sunglasses hung lazily between his high nose bridge. His eyes, which seemed to be smiling but were not, looked over from above the sunglasses, with a hint of provocation and casualness.

Zeng Meiqian was about to introduce him to Guan Jie, but this handsome man reached out his hand to Guan Jie first.

"So you must be the young master Guan who has our Miss Zeng completely bewitched? It's a pleasure to meet you."

Guan Jie reached out his hand, and at that moment he recognized those slender, fair hands, like those of a pianist.

"you…".

"Nice to meet you, please take care of me!" the man said again, speaking first.

Guan Jie nodded, "Nice to meet you."

At this moment, Zeng Meiqian introduced the newcomer to Guan Jie.

"This is my college classmate, Su Yinren, also known as Young Master Su. He's a rising star in the business world." Zeng Meiqian then turned to Su Yinren and said, "This is my fiancé, Guan Jie. It seems you've already done your homework, so I don't need to introduce him."

"Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle; you have to do your homework. If I don't even know who Mr. Zeng's fiancé is, wouldn't you, Mr. Zeng, not trust my abilities?"

"Looks like you're going to show me what you've got, huh? Haha, you didn't even investigate my fiancé, did you?"

"Of course, I can't miss it." Su Yinren took out the red rose from his chest, made an arc with his right hand in front of him, bent down and presented the rose to Zeng Meiqian. "I investigated everyone around you before I came. I don't fight battles I'm not sure I can win."

Zeng Meiqian accepted the rose.

"It seems I made the right choice in coming to you. With the help of my old classmate, I believe my acceptance process will go very smoothly."

"That's natural."

Su Yinren ignored Guan Jie, straightened up, put on his sunglasses, and then turned around.

"I just came to let you know I've arrived, but I've come at a slightly inopportune time. Mr. Zeng probably won't be working tonight, so I'll just have to find some fun on my own."

Su Yinren disappeared from sight. Zeng Meiqian put her arm around Guan Jie's and said, "He's always been so casual, but he's incredibly efficient when it comes to getting things done. Let's go, I'll drive."

"If you hadn't said that, I would have believed he was a playboy even more."

Zeng Meiqian giggled.

"Don't be fooled by his appearance. He's a real powerhouse, otherwise I wouldn't have asked him to help me. After the marriage, I'll be taking full control of the Zeng family. Although everyone seems to be looking forward to it, there's a lot of commotion going on underneath. Many people are waiting to see what happens to me. If I'm too soft-hearted, they'll take the opportunity to grab a piece of the Zeng family's fat meat."

"I understand that large corporations are not as harmonious as they appear to outsiders," Guan Jie admitted that Zeng Meiqian's statement was true.

"So I need to make them behave themselves as soon as I take over, and cut off any ulterior motives they might have. You know, many of the older employees in the company are senior and have their own factions. They can easily influence the whole situation. Even if I know who has ulterior motives, I don't dare to act rashly."

"So you invited Su Yinren to be your shield."

"Yes, it's true that outsiders are better at chanting sutras," Zeng Meiqian said as she started the car. "Most importantly, Su Yinren appears to outsiders as a complete playboy who doesn't do anything productive, which is crucial to me. They all thought I would put my own people in after taking over the whole business, but I'm going to do the opposite. I want to make these people with ideas lower their guard and then wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

Guan Jie stared at Zeng Meiqian and said jokingly, "You scared me."

"You're so fragile? How can I expect to find comfort here after being battered and bruised at work?"

"I won't comfort you, I'll just beat them until they beg for mercy on their knees. They're the ones who bullied my woman. But I think the first person I'll beat up is Su Yinren. I don't like Su Yinren showing off in front of you." Guan Jie took the roses Zeng Meiqian had placed on the windshield.

"Jealous? But I just love your manliness." Zeng Meiqian pouted admiringly, "Darling, if you agree to come and help me, I won't have to invite this Mr. Su. If you change your mind, I'll buy Su Yinren a plane ticket back tomorrow."

"You know, I want to..."

"Okay, I won't force you. Today is a good day, let's not talk about this anymore. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we last saw each other, hasn't it?"

Are you trying to say that absence makes the heart grow fonder?

"Ugh, I didn't think that way at all."

"You really don't think so? Then I'll get off the bus."

"How come you've become so improper after just one business trip? You're so naughty."

……

Why didn't the author reveal that Guan Jie and Su had met before when writing about Guan Jie's feelings for Su? They clearly recognized each other.

After a passionate encounter, Guan Jie gently removed Zeng Meiqian's arm from his chest, walked barefoot to the kitchen, and took a can of beer from the refrigerator.

The moment the pull tab was opened, the gas inside the can gushed out with a whoosh, and Guan Jie smiled.

"What a beautiful sound," Guan Jie said.

Zeng Meiqian's hillside villa is nestled among the green trees, and the balcony outside the restaurant offers a panoramic view of the beautiful mountain scenery. The bright full moon is closer to this area, and it looks much more beautiful and larger than when it is seen in the city. Under the moonlight, the trees of various colors adorn this hillside like a magnificent painting in autumn, and the streetlights on the private roads dot the landscape, illuminating every corner.

"This is a view for the rich, subtle yet beautiful." Guan Jie took a sip of ice-cold beer and thought of the tall, eerie tree outside the orphanage window. It always projected the most terrifying image onto the window on nights with a full moon. Its menacing appearance made him conjure up countless monsters that would devour human brains. Those nights shrouded in fear are still vivid in his mind.

Guan Jie took another sip, and this time, Su Yinren appeared clearly in his mind.

Guan Jie was certain that Su Yinren was the man sitting across the aisle from him on the flight from Huangyan City to Senhai City. His intuition told him that Su Yinren had obviously recognized him.

"Why did Su Yinren claim he had never seen me? Did he, like me, not want Zeng Meiqian to know he had been to Desolate Rock Island? But what was Su Yinren's purpose in going to Desolate Rock Island? Was it merely a coincidence?"
