After hitting the Rolls-Royce, the top-tier green tea started fishing.

When Wen Chongyan saw her face, he was unusually taken aback.

The image of Ruan Xiaocui, the girl who had been crying on the ground that night, flashed through my mind.

But his first reaction was: Impossible.

After all, it was very dark that night, and it was pouring rain.

Ruan Xiaocui was crying so hard that her hair was stuck to her face, which prevented him from seeing her face clearly.

All I remember is how delicate her crying was.

Ruan Zhining sensed his suspicion and immediately feigned doubt, saying, "Xiyu, who is this...?"

"This is the person in charge of Wenrui, President Wen," Wen Xiyu introduced simply.

"Wow, you actually know President Wen, Xiyu, you're amazing! You'll definitely become a big boss someday!" Ruan Zhining smiled and tilted her head.

After laughing, she guessed that Wen Chongyan's suspicions had been mostly dispelled, and then looked at him:

"Excuse me...Mr. Wen, hello. I'm Xiyu's girlfriend."

Wen Chongyan remained expressionless.

Her voice is so sweet. So sweet it's cloying.

He refused to believe that she wouldn't know that Wen Xiyu was his nephew.

With her skills, how could she possibly fight an unprepared battle?

Wen Chongyan's lips curled slightly, and his gaze towards Ruan Zhining held a hint of amusement:

"Girlfriend... So, you're the one who gathers shells in the night to piece together the dawn?"

He paused, then added with a half-smile: "Prisoners of the Night Sea?"

Ruan Zhining: "...???"

Help!

Isn't this a Douyin video she posted? It even has a "show-off" tag.

How could he memorize it?! Has he even seen her TikTok videos?!

"Please excuse my rudeness, Mr. Wen." She forced a smile. "I just really like the profound feeling of the ocean."

"Is that so?" Wen Chongyan said calmly, "As deep and unsettling as some people's hearts, isn't that frightening?"

Ruan Zhining: "..."

It feels like the capitalists have seen right through her; she's a fake innocent white moonlight, a real gold-digging black moonlight.

No, no, no! Don't curse yourself like that.

Fortunately, at that moment, the casting director shouted, "Filming is in progress, everyone who auditioned, come over here!" and Ruan Zhining was able to escape.

Wen Xiyu followed her over, helping her with her bag and water, which made Wen Chongyan sneer repeatedly.

Simp.

Why are all the men in the Wen family so useless, always getting fooled by pretty women?

waste.

Wen Chongyan frowned in disdain, then, as if remembering something, turned to his assistant and asked, "What was the result of the matter concerning Ruan Xiaocui that I asked you to follow up on last night?"

Assistant Shao: "I didn't see Ms. Ruan setting up her stall at the school gate, but when I inquired at Ruanjia Village, I learned that Ms. Ruan Xiaocui does live there, but she wasn't home. Don't worry, Mr. Wen, I will continue to follow up."

Wen Chongyan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly: "Hmm."

As expected, Ruan Xiaocui and Ruan Zhining only look somewhat alike.

They are completely different souls, how could they possibly be related?

That simple and pitiful woman has probably gone back to setting up a stall to make a living.

He would rather use the money to support Ruan Xiaocui than let a heartless woman like Ruan Zhining succeed.

……

Ruan Zhining's entire audition process was very agonizing.

Because Wen Chongyan was standing there the whole time.

Although he was far away, his presence was so strong, and his gaze was so sharp that it made her break out in a cold sweat.

It's like the White Bone Demon's true form being exposed by the Great Sage.

Ruan Zhining managed to salvage her image somewhat in the final stages after Wen Chongyan left.

After the audition, Wen Xiyu offered to treat Ruan Zhining to lunch.

She saw that he had used navigation to search for that restaurant, which was a Japanese restaurant with an average cost of 5000 yuan per person.

Although Ruan Zhining really wanted to eat there, she still politely declined.

She offered to treat Wen Xiyu to dinner and pay the bill.

This is what it means to cast a long line to catch a big fish.

After listening, Wen Xiyu indeed felt that she was a person of noble character, and his eyes showed more admiration and emotion.

They also helped her choose a Western restaurant with an average price of 200 yuan per person, located in the business district downstairs from the Wenrui Group building.

Ruan Zhining thought to herself, Wen Xiyu is such a gentle and considerate silly boy.

He was the complete opposite of his cold and difficult uncle.

Fortunately, Wen Chongyan was not there.

This was her first lunch with Wen Xiyu, and she wanted to seize the opportunity to take things further.

During the lunch rush, this affordable Western restaurant is almost full.

When the meal was served, she took Wen Xiyu's plate and cut the steak into a visually appealing and easy-to-eat size.

Wen Xiyu was moved again: "Zhi Ning, you must be tired after auditioning all morning. I'll do it myself."

Ruan Zhining smiled gently: "But, seeing you eat it to your heart's content after I've cut it up for you makes me very happy."

Wen Xiyu was stunned, his eyes welling up with tears: "Zhi Ning, why are you so good to me?"

coming.

Here comes the important part.

Ruan Zhining subtly adjusted her posture.

She deliberately chose a seat by the window, letting the dappled sunlight fall on her innocent, smiling face.

Isn't this the feeling of first love, like a white moonlight, coming true?

"Because...you remind me of the moon."

After saying this, she smiled gently and, in a touching atmosphere, pushed the sliced ​​steak in front of Wen Xiyu...

Wen Xiyu gazed at her intently, about to become completely absorbed in her beauty...

The next second, he suddenly stood up.

Ruan Zhining: ?

"Be careful...the floor is slippery. Mr. Wen, what brings you here?" Wen Xiyu seemed to wake from a dream.

? ?

Ruan Zhining suddenly raised her head.

Then Wen Chongyan appeared out of nowhere. He stood tall by the dining table, one hand in his pocket, coldly watching them.

To be precise, he was coldly staring at Ruan Zhining—

Meeting her gaze, Wen Chongyan smiled faintly, "In broad daylight, Miss Ruan actually thinks of the moon. Truly worthy of being a prisoner of the night sea."

Ruan Zhining: "…………" I deleted that Douyin video of the prisoner of the night sea when I got back.

She felt again that this man might have seen through her.

But why? Did she give herself away?

"Mr. Wen, what brings you here... Please have a seat."

Wen Xiyu was still role-playing, treating Wen Chongyan as his boss.

Wen Chongyan didn't stand on ceremony and sat directly in Wen Xiyu's seat.

That is, directly opposite Ruan Zhining.

He even picked up a fork and started eating the steak that Ruan Zhining had cut.

Ruan Zhining wanted to stop him but had no reason to, so she could only watch him eat.

Out of frustration, her snow-white teeth sank into her full lower lip.

Wen Chongyan glanced at her changing expression and sneered inwardly.

Is the act about to break down? Is he starting to grit his teeth?

How can your lips be so pink? You must have worn a lot of lipstick, right? The real color is definitely not like that.

But in just a few seconds, Ruan Zhining managed to adjust her smile.

She once again exudes the gentle and serene beauty of a pure white moonlight.

Oh.

hypocritical.

Wen Xiyu ordered a few more dishes.

He sat down next to Wen Chongyan and looked at Ruan Zhining: "Zhining, did you have something left unsaid? What was it?"

Uh…yes.

She originally wanted to share a touching story about the moon and a boy.

She had practiced it ten times in bed last night. Her delivery was full of emotion.

She was confident that she could move Wen Xiyu to tears and deepen his feelings for her even further.

But now, facing Wen Chongyan's cold, sharp gaze that seemed to hold a smile—

She couldn't utter a single word. Aba aba.

Ruan Zhining gritted her teeth inwardly, but could only give an awkward smile: "It's nothing... Eat quickly, the steak will get cold."

She actually couldn't eat any of it, but forced herself to eat a few mouthfuls of lettuce.

The three of them sat together for a meal, and the atmosphere was awkward.

Especially after Wen Xiyu got up and went out to answer the phone.

The only prey is gone, leaving only... hunters and hunters on the table.
