Deep Fog Kiss

The cheeks under my fingertips felt a little warm, and my breath was also slightly warmer.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Gu Zhishen released her cheek and placed the back of his hand on her forehead.

Immediately, his eyes darkened.

Just as he finished using his patience and his expression turned slightly somber, Jiang Li quickly realized, "He doesn't have a fever."

Finally, he spoke.

The man's expression softened slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "No fever, and you didn't eat dinner. What's wrong?"

Jiang Li raised her hand and touched her abdomen. "My stomach isn't feeling well."

"Let the doctor come and take a look."

As Gu Zhishen spoke, he prepared to make a phone call.

"No need, Uncle."

Jiang Li quickly said, "I was hungry at noon, so I don't have an appetite for dinner now."

She gently curved her lips into a smile and said understandingly, "Why don't you eat first?"

Gu Zhishen scrutinized her with his deep eyes for two seconds, as if he had noticed something, and then slightly curled the corners of his lips, "Come down for dinner."

His tone left no room for refusal.

The man turned and left. Jiang Li stared at his tall, straight back, raised her eyebrows slightly, and "obediently" followed him.

Inside the restaurant, exquisite dishes were served, their colors, aromas, and flavors all complementing each other perfectly, filling the air with fragrance.

Jiang Li looked over and saw that they were all Chinese dishes she used to love.

It seems that although all the servants at Beishan Villa have been replaced, the chef has not.

I still remember what she liked to eat.

only......

Jiang Li sat down, looking like she had no appetite.

Gu Zhishen glanced at her listless expression and asked, "Are you so poor you can't afford to eat out?"

Jiang Li choked for a moment, then laughed and said, "Not exactly."

Speak only half a sentence, and the trickery is well hidden.

Gu Zhishen looked at her with interest. "Jiang Li, I don't have the patience to ask any more questions."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a hint of danger.

Those slightly narrowed amber eyes held a chilling sense of oppression.

"I just encountered a difficult client."

Jiang Li confessed honestly, her voice dejected, "I waited for him all noon and didn't have time to eat lunch."

"And the result?" Gu Zhishen asked.

"The negotiations fell apart." Jiang Li looked up at the man, her eyes innocent. "He made a very unreasonable request."

"Oh?" Gu Zhishen gave a slight smile.

"Uncle."

Jiang Li tentatively spoke up, "Don't be angry when you hear this."

Gu Zhishen raised his narrow eyes, his interest growing.

Jiang Li took out her phone, placed it on the table, and started recording.

"I've heard that Mr. Gu of Tianze Capital is not interested in women, but what man doesn't love beautiful women?"

"If someone as beautiful as screenwriter Jiang could sleep with that CEO Gu for one night and whisper sweet nothings in his ear, once the investment deal is finalized, you could not only keep the script at its original price, but you could even get it several times higher!"

Jiang Li played the recording, her gaze lingering on Gu Zhishen's deep and cold face.

After listening to the recording, the man remained calm, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

He looked up, his eyes meeting Jiang Li's charming and lovely face.

And the slight sly glint in her eyes.

Like a little fox waiting for its chance to strike.

"Uncle."

Jiang Li rested her chin on her hand, blinked her long eyelashes, and asked, "Will you help me?"

Gu Zhishen smiled slightly. "How can I help?"

"Of course, I'll sleep with one of them and let me whisper sweet nothings in their ear."

These words were almost on the tip of her tongue, but Jiang Li swallowed them back down.

She simply curved her lips slightly, revealing shallow dimples, and smiled without saying a word.

Gu Zhishen glanced at her and smiled gently.

I thought she was just as bold and reckless as she was two years ago, and that she would say something outrageous.

Their gazes met, like a silent tug-of-war.

After a long pause, he parted his thin lips slightly and said, "Jiang Li."

"Um?"

"Don't pretend."

Gu Zhishen bluntly exposed her little trick, ladled a bowl of hot soup and placed it in front of her, "Eat your food, and I'll decide what to do after you finish."

Jiang Li blinked, her smile widening.

That means there's a chance!

"Okay!"

She chuckled, picked up the soup bowl, and gulped down two large mouthfuls.

I was starving all afternoon, this meal was absolutely delicious!

She picked up her chopsticks and began to eat heartily, quickly finishing two bowls of rice.

"I'm full, Uncle, please enjoy your meal."

She put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and ran upstairs as if her feet were greased.

The little fox caught its prey and ran faster than anyone else.

Gu Zhishen stared at her figure disappearing around the corner of the stairs, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"Interesting, they've learned how to manipulate people."

......

After Jiang Li finished eating and drinking, she nestled on the sofa when a voice message from Shen Nianchu popped up on her phone.

【Lili, do you really not need me to hire a lawyer for Luo Hui?】

Jiang Li replied via voice message: 【No need, Sister Nianchu. The matter with Shile Media should be resolved.】

She didn't say what method she used, but she was almost certain that someone would take care of it.

She suddenly remembered something Gu Zhishen had told her many years ago—

"Jiang Li, you need to know how to utilize relationships between people, and even more importantly, how to utilize the resources around you."

"I am your resource, why not use me?"

Just then, my cell phone suddenly rang loudly.

She glanced at the incoming call and answered it immediately.

"Sister Pear!"

Shu Zi's voice was exceptionally excited, "Breaking news! Absolutely exclusive, absolutely thrilling!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Li's phone started buzzing with notifications, and a set of photos was sent to her.

Jiang Li opened the photo, her eyes wide with surprise.

"Where did you get these photos?"

"It was given to me by a living Buddha!" ​​Shu Zi's voice rose a few decibels. "It bombarded my inbox as soon as I woke up. I just finished work and saw it, so I immediately shared it with you!"

"Sister Li, Tang Lin has been behaving himself these past few days because Wang Qiqi has been clinging to him. You'd better hide this photo well," Shu Zi reminded her. "If the Tang family finds out about this photo, then your engagement to that brat Tang Lin will be a done deal."

Jiang Li's slender fingers traced the images of adult content on her phone, her eyes flickering.

"Tibetan?"

She chuckled softly, "I'm going to play for the big prize."

After hanging up, she opened her contacts and made a call.

The call was quickly answered, and the irritable voice made the phone vibrate.

"Who is it?! Don't fucking bother me!"

Jiang Li disdainfully moved the phone away, and only spoke after the other person calmed down, "I am Jiang Li."

"Jiang Li?" The other person seemed quite surprised.

"Let's chat," Jiang Li said succinctly. "I'll send you the address tomorrow at 2 PM."

"You think I'll just go because you tell me to?" Tang Lin's tone was flippant on the phone. "Jiang Li, say a few nice things, and I'll consider whether or not to go."

"You stinky mudfish, you think you're seafood just because you dipped it in salt water." Jiang Li scoffed. "Wang Qiqi's matter hasn't been resolved yet, and now you have to deal with your affair with Shu Zi. Tang Lin, your Tang family is going to lose face for you."

After saying that, she emphasized in a cold tone, "I'll send you the time and address. Whether you come or not is up to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, a flash of white light outside the window dazzled her, followed by the sound of a car starting up.

Jiang Li quickly hung up the phone and ran barefoot to the window.

Downstairs, the headlights of the black luxury car lit up as it slowly drove out of the villa.

Jiang Li felt a chill in her heart; he was gone again.
