"I'm fine!" Ruan Zhining was startled and quickly spoke to divert his attention.

"I'm fine, just a little sleepy. Linfeng, thank you for today. You should get some rest too, I see you have dark circles under your eyes."

Jiang Linfeng snapped out of his reverie, reached out and patted her head. "It's my honor. Don't worry about me, get some rest."

Jiang Linfeng left. Ruan Zhining completely softened.

She almost collapsed to the ground after closing the door. A sense of melancholy washed over her. "Is this the path to becoming a 'green tea' (a manipulative woman)?" she wondered. "Am I now the ultimate 'black tea'?"

Unfortunately, even with her ruthless heart, she still hadn't saved enough money. As she sighed, a figure walked out in front of her.

Wen Chongyan looked down at her, and Ruan Zhining covered her mouth in fright, "If...if you do that again...I'll jump off the building!"

Wen Chongyan remained expressionless.

But the window was indeed open.

Ruan Zhining thought she should turn it off. What if he threw her down later?

The moment she moved her feet, Wen Chongyan swiftly reached out and stopped her.

Then, he picked her up again.

"you--"

This time, I put her on the bed.

Ruan Zhining was laid flat by him, and her mouth felt numb and painful. She grabbed the blanket and turned her back forcefully.

Then she heard Wen Chongyan say in a deep voice behind her, "Don't stay here tomorrow."

Ruan Zhining ignored him. She thought to herself, "I'll pretend to be asleep. Even if it's a toy, you can't just turn it off."

She closed her eyes. She was breathing heavily, clearly angry.

"Ruan Zhining".

"..."

He shouted once and then stopped. But his breathing became heavier.

The sound of a phone being dialed came from behind her. What was going on? Was he going to send someone to her apartment to take her gold bars? Or was he going to order someone to replace Martin with a Tailing electric scooter?

Ruan Zhining immediately tensed up, and her pretense of being asleep no longer held up; her eyelids were moving and her mouth was moving as well.

A few minutes later, her phone rang.

It would be a lie to say she couldn't hear it. She turned around sharply, picked it up, and looked at it—

It's a bank card SMS notification.

100 yuan has been received.

?

!

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Wen Chongyan.

He was looking at her too, but his gaze was cold. He seemed angry.

Ruan Zhining struggled internally for a moment. Although her mouth was numb, the balance in her account felt warm. The money that had been transferred in probably couldn't be withdrawn, right?

She tucked her phone back under the pillow, then moved closer to the edge of the bed, closer to Wen Chongyan.

He didn't move.

She sighed, thinking to herself, "For money, one can endure for a moment and gain millions, or take a step back and amass gold bars."

She reached out her little hand and gently poked the back of his hand.

"It's getting late, let's go to sleep, okay?"

Wen Chongyan moved his hand slightly.

"Leave tomorrow," he said coldly, then added after a pause, "Don't disturb Linfeng's life."

"Okay," Ruan Zhining replied quickly. "I'll go back to my apartment tomorrow. Is that alright?"

She was originally going back to visit her gold bar baby too.

"Go to sleep," Wen Chongyan said.

Ruan Zhining lay down. She saw Wen Chongyan turn off the nightlight and then sit down beside her bed.

?

"Aren't you going to sleep?" she asked softly.

"Go to sleep," Wen Chongyan said.

How could he sleep with her like that? Ruan Zhining wondered, clutching the blanket with her little hands, but soon closed her eyes and fell asleep.

She was exhausted that day.

Even though she was exhausted, Ruan Zhining didn't sleep very well. Her brows were furrowed, and she mumbled something to herself.

Wen Chongyan sat on the edge of the bed, listening carefully, and finally heard Ruan Zhining say two words: "Gold bars..."

Wen Chongyan, "..."

She dreams of gold.

No wonder she's a gold digger.

and so.

Will she be a green tea bitch in her dreams? Who will she be hooking up with in her dreams? Jiang Linfeng, Wen Xiyu, or... him?

Unfortunately, Ruan Zhining stopped talking in her sleep. She curled up, the moonlight shining on her small face, where the handprint was still very obvious.

Wen Chongyan reached out and his fingers landed lightly on her face.

Gently rub.

Ruan Changhe. He murmured the name to himself, his eyes suddenly turning sinister.

……

Perhaps because she was too tired, and because the kiss before bed was too intense, Ruan Zhining didn't wake up until very late the next day.

Both men were no longer home.

She ate the breakfast Jiang Linfeng had left for her, left a handwritten note of farewell and thanks, and then left.

When she returned to her apartment, the first thing she did was check the gold bars in the rice container. Just as she finished checking, the doorbell rang.

She was a little nervous because of Ruan Changhe, so she went to look through the peephole and saw that it was Assistant Shao before opening the door.

"Miss Ruan, Mr. Wen instructed me to come and help you move."

"Moving?" She was taken aback.

Assistant Shao dialed Wen Chongyan's number directly and handed it to her.

"Mr. Wen? Where am I moving to?" She paused, then asked nervously, "Wasn't this apartment... a gift for me?"

"Yes," Wen Chongyan said, "The apartment is still yours. My father's documents have been sent over; I'll take you to complete the transfer in a few days. As for moving..."

He said calmly, "Given your uncle's situation, I feel it's necessary to ensure your safety—so you won't keep bothering Linfeng. He has a new blind date recently, so it's not appropriate for you to meet again."

"Oh..." Ruan Zhining responded, thinking to herself, who is so lucky to be able to marry into the Jiang family.

As she sighed, she heard Wen Chongyan's voice suddenly turn cold and low, "What's wrong? Are you sad?"

"No, no, I'm just wishing Mr. Jiang a happy birthday," Ruan Zhining quickly said.

"..." Wen Chongyan was silent for a moment before saying coldly, "Assistant Shao will bring people to move. You don't need to do anything. Just tell him if you have any requests. Move to Tan Garden tonight."

"Tan Garden?!" Ruan Zhining exclaimed in shock. "You...you live here?"

"Hmm. What, you want to stay at Linfeng's house again? Didn't you get enough sleep last night?"

"No... I just..." she asked softly, "Will we live together?"

"Don't overthink it. I can't sleep with you," Wen Chongyan said coldly. "Separate rooms."

"But..." she seemed to want to refuse.

Wen Chongyan cut her off with a single sentence, "Tanyuan is worth billions, is that what you want to ask?"

"..." Ruan Zhining fell right into the money trap set by Wen Chongyan.

A mansion worth billions! A luxury home! Something she'd never dreamed of buying!

Even if I only stayed there for a month, it would be perfect! I'd have plenty of material to brag about later!

She cheered just thinking about it, feeling like it was a luxury only for the wealthy. She then ran off to direct the move.

It has to be said that money makes things fast. The apartment was quickly cleaned up, and all of Ruan Zhining's belongings (except for the gold bars and nothing else) were moved to Tan Garden.

She had visited Danwon before, but each time she was drunk and in a rush, so she didn't have a proper chance to explore.

Now, after visiting, I feel even more resentful of the wealthy. It's just too luxurious. It's so huge... I couldn't even see the whole thing after walking around for half a day.

Once she goes to Canada and gets her marriage certificate with Yin Jianhang, she'll buy a big house, a really, really big... super big one!

She busied herself in the huge villa, taking pictures here and there, to keep for showing off later.

When they got tired of filming, they would curl up on the ridiculously expensive sofa, hug an expensive blanket, and fall asleep in a decadent, carefree state.

When Wen Chongyan returned to Tanyuan, this was the scene he saw.

Ruan Zhining slept on his sofa, using his pillow as a pillow, and covered with his blanket.

He stopped, and his stern face, which had been tense all day, relaxed slightly at this moment.

She slept at his house.

Not Jiang Linfeng's family.

She's sleeping much better now than she did yesterday at Jiang Linfeng's house; she's sleeping more soundly, comfortably, and peacefully.

If she is obedient and well-behaved, he might consider letting her stay indefinitely.
