From Sidekick to Bigshot

Although the weekends were a rare time for rest, Jian Yiling still got up early in the morning.

However, Zhai Yunsheng did not get up at the same time as usual.

And thus, Jian Yiling went to knock on Zhai Yunsheng’s door. She waited for a while, however, she did not receive a response.

As Jian Yiling was worried about Zhai Yunsheng’s health, she opened the door and went in.

There was noisy music playing in Zhai Yunsheng’s room.

The sound of water was also coming out of the bathroom.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling realized that Zhai Yunsheng had gotten up early to take a shower. However, because of the sound of music and water, he did not hear Jian Yiling’s knock on the door.

After entering the room, Jian Yiling noticed the two pink cartoon lunch boxes on the bedside table.

It seemed as though they were her lunch boxes.

She had given them to him.

However, why were they here?

At this moment, the bathroom door opened. Zhai Yunsheng came out with only a bath towel around his lower body.

There were still droplets of water on his body. His hair was also wet.

As soon as Zhai Yunsheng saw Jian Yiling in his room, he asked: “How did you get in?”

“You didn’t get up on time.”

“I’m fine, I just went to take a shower.”

Then, Zhai Yunsheng looked at Jian Yiling. Jian Yiling was currently wearing her pajamas. She was incredibly small and cute. Furthermore, she was standing less than two meters from him.

The two of them looked at each other somewhat awkwardly for a while.

After a long period of silence, Jian Yiling pointed to the lunch boxes placed on the bedside table. “Why are they here?”

“Why do you think they’re here?” Zhai Yunsheng asked instead of answering.

“They’re my lunch boxes.”

“You gave them to me.”

“Well, it’s not suitable for you to use.”

“But I want to keep them.”

“Why?”

Zhai Yunsheng did not answer this question. Instead, he replied: “Well, I’ll leave that question to you to think about.”

Jian Yiling looked at Zhai Yunsheng with confusion in her eyes.

She was finding it difficult to understand the meaning in Zhai Yunsheng’s words.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng clenched his teeth. He felt angry and frustrated as he asked: “Are you only thinking about those two lunch boxes when you’re looking at me?”

She wasn’t shy at all! She wasn’t embarrassed at all!

Was he not attractive enough? Or did she not have anything else in her wooden brain other than knowledge?

“Good-looking,” Jian Yiling suddenly commented.

“What?”

“You’re still very good-looking,” Jian Yiling repeated.

Jian Yiling thought that he was good-looking from the first time she saw him.

After saying that, Jian Yiling left Zhai Yunsheng’s room.

Upon hearing this, Zhai Yunsheng began to laugh. At least she had good taste.

Then, Jian Yiling began to prepare breakfast. Zhai Yunsheng stayed beside her to help.

After breakfast, Jian Yiling was busy again.

However, Zhai Yunsheng did not want her to be exhausted. When he approached her, he realized that Jian Yiling was looking into the Jian family business.

“Are you interested in these?”

Jian Yiling shook her head. She wasn’t interested in business.

“Then why are you looking into these things?”

“Planning,” Jian Yiling responded. She wanted to plan some of the matters for the Jian family.

It seemed as though she could not stop some things from happening.

Grandma Jian’s stroke had come as scheduled.

And thus, instead of just running away from such incidents, Jian Yiling decided to face these things head-on.

If the Qin family was going to attack the Jian family in the future, the Jian family had to become stronger in advance.

Jian Yiling wanted to protect the Jian family. This was Grandma Jian’s home. It was also her brothers’ home.

And thus, Zhai Yunsheng decided to sit down next to Jian Yiling. He watched her with interest.

The situation of the Jian family was well understood by Zhai Yunsheng.

However, out of everyone in the Jian family, he knew the least about Jian Yiling.

At the very least, he did not expect to meet Superintendent Ruan a few days ago.
