give me years of peace

Chapter 104

"I'm really afraid that others will starve them." Du Anran said lightly, throwing fish food at them. When she saw them, she thought of herself. She is also a fallen person in the world. They are her only support in this small office.

"Whoever dares to starve them will not come to work in the future!" Xin Zimo wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, bowed his head and whispered in her ear.

Du Anran shuddered, and leaned close to him, she could smell the elegant perfume on his body, mixed with a faint smell of tobacco.

"If one day I let them all go, won't I have to go to work?" Du Anran asked.

"If they leave this fish tank, they won't be able to live anywhere." Xin Zimo leaned into her ear and said, but his tone was irresistibly harsh.

Du Anran didn't know what he meant, but his heart trembled again.Yeah, she just couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

But after a while, Xin Zimo said again: "If you dare to let go of all my precious fish, you can't solve it without going to work, you have to pay me."

Du Anran pouted: "I can't afford it." One piece was more than 50, how could she afford it.

"If you can't afford it, just stay with me for the rest of your life. I'll keep you like a fish." Xin Zimo raised his eyebrows.

"Then I'd better stay away from your baby fish in the future."

Xin Zimo exerted strength in his hands and hugged Du Anran even tighter, as if she sneaked away if he was not careful.He is used to seeing her every day, but he still wants to see her every day when he opens his eyes.

"Boss Xin... It's time to work." Du Anran wanted to pull his finger away, but she was afraid that he would be unhappy. The memory of that night still remained in this office. She was really afraid of him...

However, she thought, if she followed him a bit, maybe the day she left him would not be too far away.

"What did you call me?" Xin Zimo frowned, this woman really has no memory.

Du Anran pouted embarrassingly, forgetting what he said last night: "I..."

"Call again."

"..." She still couldn't scream in front of him.Those two familiar words have already become a thing of the past.

"Huh?" Xin Zimo exerted more force in his hand, and turned his face sideways, almost getting close to her face.

"Zimo, it's time to work!" Du Anran plucked up his courage and called out, leaving his embrace in an instant.

"The rest of the time in London, there will be only the two of us. You have to get used to calling me that." Xin Zimo looked at her panicked and smiled maliciously.

In those two years, she often called his name, but he didn't hear it as pleasantly as it does now, nor did he have the same heartbeat as now.

Du Anran was startled: "Where's Sun Ping? Where's Mr. He? And your other secretaries and assistants?"

"Aren't you my secretary? If it's useless at the critical moment, what do I support you with my monthly salary of 50?" Xin Zimo walked to the front of the table and got a cup of coffee, looking at her leisurely.

A well-fitting black suit was worn on him, making him even more perfect.Obsidian-like eyes, slightly raised lips, although the whole face still looks so cold, but there is a slight smile in the brows and eyes.

Who made you raise it... Du Anran was about to refute, but swallowed it again.You can't mess with Xin Zimo, she can't afford it.He changed his face faster than the sky, if one of them was unhappy, it would be her who was unlucky.

"Oh, but I'm afraid I'll spoil your place." Du Anran was telling the truth, she has a poor capacity for drinking and loves to cry when she's drunk, and if she loses her composure at a reception, he will be the one to be ashamed.

"With me here, what are you afraid of?"

"Then if someone forces me to drink, will you block it for me?"

"I told you that you are not allowed to drink!" Xin Zimo frowned, this woman is really troublesome, she just can't remember what she said.

"What if someone teases me?"

"Except for me, who dares to want you!"

"Then what if I run away?" Du Anran suddenly thought, London is not city A, if she wanted to escape, he would definitely not be able to find her.

"Then I will take good care of your mother." Xin Zimo took a sip of his coffee, emphasizing the word "good".

Du Anran thought, now she can't escape from his palm at all.She lowered her head embarrassingly, and said rather defeatedly, "I'll go to work first."

Xin Zimo nodded with a smile, which was considered to let her go temporarily.

After a while, Sun Ping called and asked him to attend the meeting.He sorted out the documents and left the office.

Du Anran finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after confirming whether he would be back in a while, she quickly inserted the USB flash drive Xie Chenjin gave her into the computer.

For the sake of confidentiality, she usually chats with Xie Chenjin through this small networked USB flash drive.As soon as she opened the USB flash drive, she received a message from Xie Chenjin: To go to London tomorrow, play by ear.

"Got it." She replied to him.

After a while, I received a message from Xie Chenjin: Send me Xin's financial statements for last month.

Du Anran paused: "Xin Zimo didn't give me last month's."

"What about the report from the last board meeting?"

"No." Du Anran replied to him.But after typing these three words, she felt that she was too insincere to cooperate, and she didn't even have any useful news.

Obviously the other end stopped, and it took a while before a few words were sent: According to this progress, you may have to stay with Xin Zimo for a year or so.

"I will try harder." Du Anran's palms were sweating.When she thought of Xin Zimo's uncertain face, she felt palpitations for no reason.What will happen in a year and a half, no one can predict.

"You have to learn to be proactive."

Du Anran silently digested his words, she thought, he was right.

When she raised her eyes, she happened to see a thick stack of documents on Xin Zimo's desk. Her heart skipped a beat. Is there any report in it?Is there a record of the last board meeting?Or even an important contract?
She was startled, do you really want to do this?But when he thought of the despicable methods that Xin Zimo used to bring down the world and the times, countless hatreds gushed out from the bottom of his heart.

He played tricks behind the scenes, causing Shihe to have an accident at the construction site he was in charge of, and cooperating with Xiao Qingqing, transferred the client list and important contracts, and made his uncle addicted to gambling and drugs a year ago. Chang Chang sold Shihe shares, owed a lot of debts, and finally forced his uncle to commit suicide.Even, as early as two years ago, he deliberately approached her to cheat her trust, even using marriage as a bargaining chip.At the last moment, let her fall from dream to reality, from the sky to the abyss...

This well-designed bureau by him is seamless, one link after another, until Shihe and Du's family are forced into a dead end.

Her heart throbbed again, and she raised her head slightly so as not to let the tears flow from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing that she stopped talking, Xie Chenjin on the other end typed a few more lines: go to London and be careful, take good care of yourself.

"Wait." Du Anran typed two words, and walked decisively to Xin Zimo's desk.

She flipped through the documents on his desk without leaving a trace, but there wasn't even a single one that was useful, they were all notes and rules for the meeting.She was rather disappointed, but inadvertently she saw that his computer was still on.

She moved quite fluently, and quickly clicked on his computer, but what made her even more disappointed was that, again, there was nothing.

She had to admire Xin Zimo's shrewdness. Even though she had been in the same office with him for so long and he had to deal with a lot of things every day, he could do it without leaving any traces.

Just like he had never trusted her.

In his office, there was no one else except her who came in and out every day. Even Sun Ping had to ask his opinion first when he came over.But now, he handles the files cleanly, and doesn't leave anything useful in the computer. Obviously, he is protecting her...

There was a mocking smile on the corner of her lips, and she stood in front of his computer for a long time without moving.

If she had half of his intelligence and defensiveness, she wouldn't be where she is today.

Her heart was in a panic, feeling uncomfortable for no reason.My heart twitched inexplicably, excruciating pain.

She walked back to her place feebly, and saw Xie Chenjin send a sentence "Go to London and take care of yourself".She smiled lightly and typed two words: "Thank you."

Du Anran was absent-minded that day, and she didn't know what she was thinking. She looked at the document in her hand in a daze, but she couldn't read a single word.

It wasn't until around eight o'clock in the evening that Xin Zimo returned to the office that she remembered that she didn't even eat lunch today.

"Sure enough, you didn't leave. You're very good today." Xin Zimo smiled when he saw her.

She forced a smile: "If you don't allow me to go, I naturally dare not go."

This word reached Xin Zimo's ears, but his taste changed. He approached her and put his hands on the desk: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Du Anran was afraid that he would notice something strange, so he quickly lowered his head.

"That's good." Xin Zimo said, "Clean up and go to the Huxin Island villa."

Du Anran nodded, avoiding his gaze, took his luggage, and followed him out of the office.

Taking out his Mercedes, he sat in the car with her and drove southeast.

"Where is the lake island villa?" Du Anran was quite curious.

"I just bought it last month and gave it to you."

Du Anran was taken aback, this was an answer she hadn't thought of.She immediately said again: "I have a place to live, but I don't want it."

"Whether you want it or not, I gave it to you anyway." After speaking, Xin Zimo took out a key and threw it into her hand, "Use these keys where there are keys, and enter your birthday where there is a password."

"I can't afford it." Du Anran put the keys on the car, "I don't need it either."

"If I tell you to accept it, you will accept it! What a hassle!" Xin Zimo threw the key back into her hand.

Holding the hot key, Du Anran turned his head away from the window, his voice choked up: "Am I being taken care of by you?"

With a sound of "Chi--", Xin Zimo stopped the car.The car stopped suddenly, Du Anran was unprepared, and hit the armchair heavily, but fortunately, he escaped any danger.

The car suddenly fell silent, Xin Zimo turned to look at her, his eyes were full of coldness, he wanted to say something several times, but he couldn't say it, he just looked at her with those cold eyes.

Du Anran was frightened, and he didn't know what he said wrong...

She held her breath, at a loss, and dared not look at him.The atmosphere froze for a few minutes, even the air was cooled.
