k off his bathrobe, she hugged him tightly from behind, her soft body pressing against his.He still had scratch marks on his body from her, a series of them, no better than the ones she bore."Your wai...Zhou Li's movements stopped, his hand happening to rest on her shoulder. This way, it was also like he was hugging her.

Ginger Mingzhu was easily content, her head resting against his arm. "It's okay if we don't get married, as long as I stay by your side, I'm happy. I've been abandoned once already, big brother, please don't abandon me, okay"

Zhou Li lowered his eyes, looking at her with an indifferent voice, "I will not marry you."

Jiang Mingzhu: “Then I’m willing too.”

Zhouli: "Why"

"Because I love you."

She said this with her head raised, staring straight at him, her eyes unwavering.

Zhou Li let out a sound, "Once it begins, you have no say in the matter."

Ginger Mingzhu's heart relaxed. Zhou Li meant he totally agreed to elope with her.

Ginger Mingzhu smiled brightly, leaning in to kiss his chin. "I knew brother had a little bit of liking for me too. The wish really worked."

Zhou Li tightened his grip on her shoulders, bowing his head and fiercely blocking her lips.

Jiang Mingzhu didn't return to the Xiangfu villa until nearly nine o'clock. As soon as she entered, Fang Qinyang noticed her slightly swollen lips.

Fang Qinyang raised an eyebrow. "Why are you alone with Zhou Li today"

Ginger Mingzhu, while changing her shoes, told Fang Qinyang about Zhou Li's sudden madness.

Fang Qin Yang snorted after hearing this, "Men are all the same, but it's a gain, at least he started to care about you."

Ginger Mingzhu: "I'm still far from it."

When they arrived at the restaurant, Fang Qinyang took out the cheesecake from the refrigerator and Jiang Mingzhu ate it with relish.

Just now, she didn't lie to Zhou Li. She really likes to eat cake. When she was a child, she really couldn't afford to eat it.

Fang Qin yang gave Jiang Mingzhu a piece of roast chicken, "Don't just eat cake, eat some meat too."

Jiang Mingzhu put on her gloves and started gnawing on a drumstick. After a few bites, she asked Fang Qinyang, "Did you get in touch with Fu Xiazhi"

"No, but I heard that Fu Xiaozhi often goes to a certain gym. Why don't we go there and hang out"

Ginger Mingzhu: "Not for now."

It's not time to reveal our cards with Xiao Zhi yet.

But don't worry about Fu Xiaozhi's combat strength, she definitely won't let Zhan Yu Bai have an easy time.

Recently, Jane Yu Bai's life hasn't been going well. To top it off, she has now encountered her rival, Fu Xiaozhi, making things even worse for her. It's like the sky is falling on her head.

After some thought, Jiang Mingzhu and Fang Qinyang said to each other, "Let's see what Zhan Yubai does next."

Things are not going well for him everywhere, and he's probably desperate enough to act recklessly. Jane could easily outsmart him.

——

After Zhou Li agreed to Chen Cang's request in private that day, Jiang Mingzhu's work became more fulfilling than before.

It's possible that the doggie thing has laid down its guard, she's finally no longer just a tool for making PPTs and meeting minutes.

All of Zhou Li's itinerary coordination and partner connections were handed over to Jiang Mingzhu.

Therefore, Ginger Mingzhu had more and more opportunities to accompany Zhou Li to various events.

Wanhua and Fenghe already had a strategic cooperation, this day Jiang Mingzhu was taken to Fenghe for a meeting by Zhou Li.

> After more than a month, I met Jian Yanqing again.

Zhan Yanqing saw Jiang Mingzhu following Zhou Li, her expression changing subtly.

Ginger Mingzhu then nodded towards Zhan Yanqing, and addressed him as "General Manager Zhan."

Zhou Li glanced at Jiang Mingzhu, but addressed Zhan Yanqing, "Are the people for the summit meeting in place"

Jen Yen-Ching: "We're here, let's go into the living room."

It was said to be a meeting, but in reality, it was just Zhou Li and Zhan Yanqing having a private conversation about the case. Jiang Mingzhu went along as an assistant.

Manhattan and Peak worked together on a medical project. Zhou Li has extensive experience in investment, which is something Jan Yen-Qing cannot compare to.

The two people had several disagreements, and the atmosphere was tense.

Zhou Li spoke bluntly, "I have nothing to say to you. Let Yu Bai handle this case."

Ginger Mingzhu sat beside them, witnessing the sparks between the two. She couldn't help but scoff inwardly, feeling sorry for her fiancée.

Jean-Yann also came up with a strong statement: "Now I am the CEO of Fenghe."

Zhou Li: "Your abilities can't handle this case."

Jane Qing laughed, "Brother-in-law, you've said so much. You just want me to take this case for my sister, don't you"

You can also understand it that way.

Jan-Qing Chen: "What if I don't"

Zhouli: "That's the end of this project for now."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere between the two became even more tense. Jan Yanqing's face darkened, while Zhou Liyun remained calm and collected, seemingly in control of the situation.

This medical project is the most financially invested project Peak Union has undertaken in the past three years. Initially, the cooperation was indeed secured by James Yu Bai.

Zhou Li always kept his word. This time, he was determined to get Yu Bai back. He wouldn't let go until he did, or the project might really be scrapped.

Jane Chin: "You two are getting closer and closer."

Zhouli: "The peak will eventually be yours, she won't fight with you for it. She will go to Wanhua in the future."

"When will it be then After you're married"

"Mm."

Zhou Li answered very crisply. Jiang Mingzhu, hearing this answer beside him, dug her nails into her palm.

He still resolutely wanted to marry Zhan Yubai.

Jian Yanqing seemed to have remembered something, and with a teasing tone, said, "Looks like her kidney wasn't given away for nothing."

Jiang Mingzhu's fists clenched even tighter.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhan, I'll be back in a moment. Please continue your conversation," Ginger Mingzhu stood up.

Both of them didn't stop her. Jiang Mingzhu took a deep breath and walked to the restroom, closing the door against it.

Close your eyes, the pale face flashes before you.

Jane White...Ginger Mingzhu gritted her teeth and repeated the name.

She held the kidney, trading it for Zhou Li's engagement, the favor of the Zhou family. Not only was Zhou Li willing to marry her, but he also promised to let her enter Wan Hua after their marriage.

She absolutely couldn't let Zhou Li and Zhan Yu Bai get married—the past was becoming clearer with every passing moment, Jiang Ming Zhu's body trembled, her lips pale.

The sound of that person's voice still seemed to echo in my ears.

"Zhubi, when your aunt returns, I'll take you to meet her."

She is a kind and gentle girl, she wouldn't deceive me.

"She, like us, grew up in the orphanage. You'll really like her..."

She won't harm me, I believe her.

——

Under pressure from Zhou Li, Zhan Yanqing finally agreed to let Zhan Yubai come back and take over this project.

After they had talked things over, the atmosphere was no longer as tense as it had been before.

Jan Yan-qing jokingly teased Zhou Li, "You left Zhuzhu in Wanhua. Does your sister have no objection"

Jian Yanqing's familiar and intimate "Zhuzhu" made Zhou Li's brows furrow slightly.

Zhouli: “Why does she have an opinion”

Chen Yaniqing: "Xiaozhuang, you haven't used a female assistant these years, haven't you been afraid she'll be jealous"

Jan Yu-bai likes Zhou Li so much that she even fears a lone mosquito near him will try to steal him away.

Zhou Li sneered and laughed sarcastically, "Do you think I would look down on Jiang Mingzhu"

Before Jan Yanqing could reply to Zhou Li, he was interrupted by the commotion outside.

Zhan Yanqing opened the door with a tight face, “What’s up”

"The bathroom... someone's been hurt, there's a lot of blood!"ediate danger, but I can't be stimulated for a while. My mom was really scared, so I'm having the driver take her home first. I'll stay here tonight to keep watch.""I'll accompany you."Jeremy White wa...
