The warm lips brushed unintentionally against Zhou Suisui’s fingertips.
Zhou Suisui jerked her hand back as if scalded, and the tips of her ears instantly turned bright red.
The man’s warmth and breath still lingered on her fingertips.
It felt as though countless tiny ants were crawling over her sensitive skin, leaving it tingling and numb.
“！！！！”
Zhou Sui’an clenched his fists in fury.
Jiang Zongyan chewed his egg leisurely, then looked up at him. The corners of his mouth curled into a barely noticeable, smug smile.
“Why aren’t you eating, CEO Zhou? Is breakfast not to your liking?”
Zhou Sui’an: “……”
He shot to his feet and turned to leave.
He was so angry he was full. Why bother eating?
Eat, eat, eat. He’d choke on it!
Seeing this, Jiang Zongyan was in an excellent mood. He even finished the most disgusting glass of milk.
By the time they finished breakfast, it was almost time for the meeting to begin.
Everyone gathered their things and prepared to head to the conference hall downstairs.
At the door, Zhou Suisui glanced back at her brother, who was lying on the bed and sulking. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to leave.
Zhou Sui’an had been lying there angrily, waiting for Zhou Suisui to come call him.
But after waiting and waiting, he never saw her.
When he sat up to look, the room was already empty.
His precious little sister had actually left with that bastard Jiang Zongyan without saying a word!
Zhou Sui’an was stunned. He immediately grabbed his coat and rushed out. In three quick strides, he caught up with them, then wedged himself firmly between Zhou Suisui and Jiang Zongyan.
“Bro, what are you doing? Slow down!”
“Little sis, stay away from that bad guy, got it? I was wrong. Don’t ignore me.”
o(╥﹏╥)o
Zhou Sui’an was a sunny, cheerful young man by nature.
No one had to coax him. He was perfectly capable of cheering himself up.
“Mr. Jiang, CEO Zhou, Miss Zhou, please come in!”
Mr. Wang had personally waited at the entrance to the conference hall.
When he saw the three of them approaching—especially the two men walking at the front—a look of deep astonishment flashed through his eyes.
The two tall, striking men stood shoulder to shoulder.
One wore a black suit, his presence cold and noble, his aura powerful.
The other wore a white shirt, his bearing proud and unrestrained, his sharp features radiating confidence.
Both possessed looks and family backgrounds that were one in a million. Standing together, they were so dazzling that no one could look away. In an instant, they drew the attention of the entire room.
Mr. Wang swallowed hard and silently prayed that nothing else would go wrong today.
He couldn’t afford to offend either of these two living demons.
When Zhang Liang and Fu Jie saw Zhou Sui’an, surprise appeared on both their faces.
“CEO Zhou, what brings you here?”
Zhou Sui’an nodded at Zhang Liang and Fu Jie without offering an explanation.
“Go find your seats.”
The two of them found the name cards bearing their names and sat down.
The Zhou family was one of the summit’s most important invited guests, so their seats were near the front.
Zhou Suisui, Jiang Zongyan, and Zhou Sui’an had been assigned seats in the VIP section at the very front.
Zhou Sui’an lowered his head for a look and nearly laughed in anger.
Zhou Suisui’s name card was placed right next to Jiang Zongyan’s.
His chilly gaze swept toward Wang Mingchuan in the distance.
When Mr. Wang met his eyes, his face crumpled with misery. He looked as though he might cry.
How was he supposed to know that CEO Zhou would suddenly show up?
The seating arrangement had been prepared long ago.
Zhou Sui’an said nothing. He walked over, expressionless, switched his name card with Zhou Suisui’s, and plopped himself down, firmly blocking the two of them from one another.
Seeing this, Zhou Suisui shook her head helplessly.
When it came to her and Jiang Zongyan, her brother was remarkably clearheaded.
So how was it that whenever Su Wan was involved, he turned into a block of wood?
“Childish,” Jiang Zongyan said lightly.
Their gazes collided across the air, sparks flying in every direction. Neither was willing to yield.
“How about the two of you go outside and fight?” Zhou Suisui watched them from the side. As more and more eyes turned toward them, she finally lost patience and spoke through clenched teeth in a low voice.
Only then did the two men look away.
Zhou Sui’an turned around and immediately changed his expression. He lowered his voice and began placating her.
“Little sis, look at how he’s always bullying your brother. You have to take my side!”
“……”
Beside him, Jiang Zongyan’s temple twitched.
Who had bullied him? And now he was tattling?
What shamelessness!
“Next, please welcome Mr. Jiang Zongyan, president of Jiang Group, to deliver a speech.”
After the host finished the opening remarks, thunderous applause filled the venue.
“Clap, clap, clap.”
Jiang Zongyan raised a hand and loosened his tie. Then he stood and walked toward the stage.
Lin Zhou watched with great amusement.
Oh? His president had actually worn a tie today?
Who was he dressing up for? So hard to guess.
Even at the most important occasions abroad, the president hated wearing ties.
Below the stage, Zhou Suisui listened, completely captivated.
People always said that a man was at his most attractive when he was focused on his work, and it seemed the saying was absolutely true.
Jiang Zongyan, once he entered work mode, was completely different from his usual languid self.
Standing onstage, his black suit accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist. His expression was serious, his speech steady, and his overwhelming presence came crashing down over the audience. There was something almost sacred and untouchable about him, an air of restrained desire.
Watching his sister stare unblinkingly at the man onstage, Zhou Sui’an’s heart turned sour with jealousy.
If he had known this would happen, he never would have let his sister come on this business trip.
Zhou Suisui was watching so intently that she barely noticed when someone suddenly poked her arm.
She turned around and saw Zhou Sui’an winking and making all sorts of exaggerated little gestures.
Unable to stand it any longer, she lowered her voice and scolded him, “Can you stop fidgeting and pay attention?”
Zhou Sui’an froze as if someone had cast a spell on him.
“……”
Sob. His little sister was annoyed with him!
He gritted his teeth and turned his head with an expression of calm indifference. In reality, he was already screaming internally like a startled marmot.
After the meeting ended, the organizers handed every participating company an invitation. There would be a networking reception that evening.
Zhou Suisui changed into a new room and, exhausted, fell face-first onto the bed.
Meanwhile, Zhou Sui’an followed Jiang Zongyan around like a sentry.
When Jiang Zongyan went to the restroom, he waited outside.
When Jiang Zongyan went to discuss a business deal, he stood beside him and listened in.
Wherever Jiang Zongyan went, Zhou Sui’an followed without taking a single step away.
When Zhou Suisui woke from her nap, the sky had already darkened.
After getting some rest, she felt much better.
What were her brother and Jiang Zongyan doing now?
She wasn’t worried about them getting into a fight.
Even if she didn’t trust her brother, she trusted Jiang Zongyan. That man was so emotionally stable that handling her brother would be a piece of cake.
After changing, Zhou Suisui walked out and found Jiang Zongyan leaning against the wall in the corridor, his long arms folded across his chest as he waited for her.
His posture was elegant, his features sharp.
She glanced behind him, then asked in confusion, “Brother Yan, where’s my brother?”
“Awake already?”
Jiang Zongyan walked over and was about to speak when a clear voice came from the elevator.
“Little sis, were you looking for me?”
Zhou Sui’an strode over, lifting his chin proudly.
“I saw you were asleep just now, so I took Zhang Liang and Fu Jie to meet Jason while I had the time.”
The meeting had gone extremely well.
Jason truly lived up to his reputation as the youngest genius.
This trip had been completely worth it!
As he spoke, he shoved Jiang Zongyan aside and eagerly pulled out a small cake, holding it out to Zhou Suisui.
“Suisui, I saved this just for you. It’s your favorite—strawberry cake.”
“Thanks, Big Brother.”
Zhou Suisui’s eyes lit up as she accepted the cake.
Suddenly, she remembered something and paused.
Then, under Zhou Sui’an’s expectant gaze, she turned around and held the cake to Jiang Zongyan’s lips.
“Brother Yan, try some. It’s really delicious.”
