Chapter 11

As soon as I closed the door and turned around, I saw Shen Xianzhi already sitting down by himself, pouring a glass of wine and sipping it slowly and leisurely.

I didn’t say anything, and neither did he.

After a while, he poured half a glass of red wine into another empty cup, then turned his face to look at me, his voice calm and unhurried. “Would you like a drink?”

I looked up and met his gaze.

These past few days, I’ve been so busy that I’ve felt constantly tired and unable to muster any energy.

After Shen Xianzhi noticed, he would accompany me for a little red wine every night before bed, saying it could relieve fatigue and help me sleep.

So when he knocked on my door with red wine just now, I didn’t think anything of it.

But now…

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but at this moment, he seems a little different from usual.

The way he looks at me carries a subtle complexity.

My heart skipped a beat. I walked over slowly and took the glass from his hand, taking a small sip.

“I’m going to sign the contract at ten tomorrow morning.”

I squeezed the cup in my hand, my voice very soft.

“You-you said a few days ago that your client scheduled a business meeting with you this weekend, so you don’t need to drive me… I’ll pack up my things tonight, and I can move out tomorrow afternoon.”

“You’re very nervous right now,” Shen Xianzhi suddenly said.

I froze for a moment and turned to look at him.

Shen Xianzhi stared at me, his face moving a little closer. “Is it because of me?”

I looked into his eyes, my mind going blank for a split second.

I opened my mouth, about to speak, when a familiar voice sounded outside the door at just the wrong moment.

“Jiajia.”

It was Lu He.

I stood up abruptly.

But in the next second, Shen Xianzhi grabbed my hand.

He stood up as well, his other hand resting on my waist, slowly embracing me from behind.

His warm breath brushed against my ear, tinged with the faint scent of wine. I didn’t need to check to know my ears must be red.

I stiffened, and heard him speak in a low voice:

“Jiajia, be my girlfriend.”
