Reality proved that her overthinking was necessary.
The next morning.
When Qi Zhan woke up from his hangover, the first thing he saw was the pure white ceiling. He didn't react for a moment and his head was dizzy from the hangover. After a while, he sat up from the bed and looked around. It was obvious that this was…a man's room?
His brows furrowed subconsciously. No, the last thing he remembered was calling Ruan Zhi, and he could vaguely feel Ruan Zhi coming to his side.
Lifting the blanket, Qi Zhan realized that he hadn't changed out of his clothes. He was still wearing the formal suit from last night. Even his jacket was still on him.
In other words, this was not Ruan Zhi's home.
He frowned and touched his pocket. His wallet and phone were gone.
Qi Zhan set his guard and walked to the door with light steps. He carefully placed his hand on the door handle and listened to the movements outside, preparing to open the door quietly.
There was a click.
Unexpectedly, the door was opened. Qi Zhan was stunned. He pulled the door inside and opened it completely. When he looked up and met the man who was about to knock on the door, he was speechless.
"Hey, you're awake? Here are the new towels and toiletries. You can use them.”Lin Hao handed over the item in his hand.
He did not know how to address the other party, so he felt quite awkward for a moment.
Qi Zhan looked at the item in his hand indifferently. His thin lips were pursed tightly, but he didn't take it. He raised his head slightly and warned him,"I think you kidnapped the wrong person. It's useless.”
" Huh??" Lin Hao was baffled. He was just kind enough to deliver toiletries. What did he mean by kidnapping the wrong person?
"The Zhan family won't care about my life or death. If you want money, hand over my phone. I can give you a suitable sum of money directly.”Qi Zhan met the person's gaze calmly and reached out his hand.
Lin Hao was stunned on the spot and was simply confused by these words. Was Ah Zhi a fool?
"Well, I think you might have misunderstood something.”Lin Hao tried to explain," I was only asked to take you in…"
Hearing this, Qi Zhan raised his eyebrows."Then you can pass on my words to the person behind you.”
"Wait, wait, what is this!”Lin Hao interrupted him and took a deep breath to tell him,"The person behind me is Ah Zhi. Ruan Zhi, do you know Ruan Zhi?”
Qi Zhan's expression froze. When he heard Ruan Zhi's name, his entire body and mind relaxed." Sorry, I was thinking too much just now.”
"It's fine, it's fine. Here, take it. Hurry up and wash up.”Lin Hao smiled indifferently and handed the item in his hand over again with some impatience.
Qi Zhan took it and looked at him with a complicated expression. He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to ask something, but in the end, he nodded lightly and said,"Thank you."
After washing up, he walked out and looked at the room again. Other than being a man's room, he could also see that there was not much life here. In other words, this was probably a guest room that had been left behind.
Although it was a guest room, there was still a lot of junk piled up in the corner.
Qi Zhan only glanced up slightly. Just as he was about to open the door and go out, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure on the photo album that flashed past the junk pile. He paused for a moment, then slowly walked over and squatted down. He could see Ruan Zhi's face vaguely in the photo.
Out of good manners, she told him not to touch other people's things.
Qi Zhan hesitated for a moment and didn't take out the photo to look at it. He turned around and left.
"Done, right? I don't know what you like to eat, so I bought some soy milk and fried dough sticks downstairs and made do with it.”Seeing him come out, Lin Hao sat at the dining table and called him over. At the same time, he began to size up this boss who made his sister, who had not dated for a long time, make an exception. His gaze was a little impolite.
After all, his first impression of this boss was really not very good. Other than a good-looking face and figure, he really couldn't see any good points.
Qi Zhan was also quietly sizing up the man in front of him. He couldn't guess what relationship this person had with Ruan Zhi, but from the other party's obviously hostile attitude, the situation didn't seem optimistic. He looked down at the breakfast on the table and gently declined,"It's fine. I don't have much of an appetite. Thank you for last night.”
"Stop right there." Lin Hao stopped him impolitely." Are you leaving just like that? Don't think that I'll be respectful to you just because you're Ah Zhi's boss. I'm not afraid of you.”
Hearing this, Qi Zhan stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at him. His handsome brows furrowed slightly as he met the man's gaze. Not willing to be outdone, he gestured for him to continue.
Lin Hao felt a little guilty when he was looked at by him. However, he immediately remembered that he was Ah Zhi's family member after all, so he could not let him think that Ah Zhi was easy to bully. He immediately regained his confidence and raised his head with a slight smile."How should I address you? Hello, my name is Lin Hao, Shuangmu Lin, bright eyes and white teeth Hao.”
"Qi Zhan." Qi Zhan's answer was obviously very perfunctory.
Lin Hao still had a fake smile on his face, but his impression of this "brother-in-law" in his heart decreased a little. He sighed in his heart. He did not know what Ah Zhi saw in him.
"Sit down for a while. I've already called Ah Zhi. She'll be here soon.”Lin Hao casually pointed at the seat and took a sip of soy milk and youtiao. He asked,"Mr. Qi, are you really not eating?"
Qi Zhan sat down calmly and shook his head."No, thank you."
"Oh." Lin Hao did not insist anymore.
A moment later, Qi Zhan looked at the door, which was still silent, and felt a little uneasy. He asked again,"Mr. Lin, may I ask…"
"I'm sorry, I can't." Lin Hao deliberately choked him and interrupted him like a prank.
Seeing Qi Zhan's indescribable expression, Lin Hao felt much better. He casually curled the corners of his lips."I'm just joking. Ask whatever you want to ask.”
Qi Zhan looked up at the other party and sighed at the other party's childishness. At the same time, he still asked the question that had been hovering in his heart for the entire morning,"May I ask what is your relationship with Ruan Zhi?”
Lin Hao paused and looked at the other party with interest. He knew that the other party might have misunderstood, but he was not in a hurry to explain. He only asked,"Then what's the relationship between Mr. Qi and our Ah Zhi?”
When he heard the words "our Ah Zhi" from the man in front of him, Qi Zhan frowned without batting an eyelid. He quietly met the other party's slightly provocative gaze and was silent for a while before opening his lips gently and saying,"High school and university…Alumni.”
In the end, he still chose a relationship that he did not want to admit but had no choice but to say.
Unexpectedly, Lin Hao's expression changed when he heard this. He asked in shock,"Alumni? Are you…"
"Brother Lin Hao! I'm coming!" Ruan Zhiren arrived before the door was unlocked.
She was still at the entrance and had already interrupted Lin Hao's words. At the same time, she attracted Qi Zhan's attention.
