Jiang Li looked at Xiao Yanzhi. He was neatly dressed, but still in the same suit as last night, which was wrinkled from being worn all night. There was exhaustion between his handsome eyebrows.
The two of them had actually spent the whole night on the river.
"Oh, I forgot there's a toilet in the cabin." Jiang Li pretended to just remember and turned to go back to the cabin... No, she didn't need to use the toilet!
"… I suddenly don't want to use the toilet anymore." Jiang Li pretended to be calm and casually looked at the river surface. "I didn't expect to have stayed on the boat for so long. I can't even remember what happened last night after getting drunk... When will we dock?"
Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at her performance with a half - smile.
The little girl was very sly. Clearly, she wanted to pretend to forget everything that happened last night.
Xiao Yanzhi put one hand in his trouser pocket and rested the other on the railing. "You can't remember anything?"
Jiang Li immediately nodded like a pounding garlic, her eyes extremely sincere. "Yes, I can't remember anything."
"Okay." He glanced at her. His fingers casually stroked his tie and gave it a light tug, loosening the collar a bit. "I don't mind reliving last night with you."
"No need!" Her face instantly flushed red, and her palms started to sweat. She jumped several steps back and then coughed twice to cover it up. "Since yesterday is already over, let it pass. The most important thing is today."
"Very philosophical." Xiao Yanzhi couldn't help but be amused by her. "I'm convinced by you."
Jiang Li let out a sigh of relief. She saw that the boat had started to dock, and she prepared to pack up and get off.
Jiang Li had just taken two steps when she heard the person behind her ask, "Weren't you still reluctant to stop last night? Now that you've woken up, you don't want it anymore?"
Jiang Li's face flushed so red that it seemed to bleed. She quickly averted her gaze, looking very guilty. "What do you mean by want or not want? I don't understand."
"Don't understand? Then who was it last night sitting on my lap, whining and saying she wanted to—"
Jiang Li's face changed. Flustered, she stumbled over and tried to cover his mouth with her hand. "Don't say it..."
She failed to cover his lips, but he stopped in time. Instead of teasing her further, he directly grabbed her wrist, gently pulled her, and took advantage of the momentum to pull her into his arms.
She originally intended to stop him, but instead, her lips were blocked.
He kissed her so intensely that she could hardly breathe, and he was also very passionate.
When he finally had his fill of the kiss, he slowly let her go. His voice was hoarse. "I rarely have the experience of all my previous efforts going to waste."
He was talking about his self - control.
Clearly, he had smoked all night and stood on the deck in the wind for several hours, but the moment he saw her, all his emotions started to get out of control.
He just wanted to kiss her.
Unknowingly, the boat had docked.
When getting off the boat, Jiang Li's legs were weak. She had no choice but to be carried off in Xiao Yanzhi's princess carry. When her feet touched the ground, she still felt a slight dizziness.
Xiao Yanzhi had made all the arrangements in advance. Jing Yi was called over and waiting on the shore.
"Sister Jiang Li, you look like you have low blood sugar." Jing Yi saw that she could hardly walk steadily and supported her with a worried look on her face. "I have fruit candies in my bag. Do you want one?"
"… Give me one." Jiang Li felt her face burning hot and could only answer hastily.
She didn't have low blood sugar at all!
It was clearly because a certain man had kissed her non - stop against the railing. If the cruise ship hadn't docked, who knew what absurd things the two of them might have done on the boat.
The culprit in a suit was standing not far away, neatly dressed without showing any signs of what had happened.
He was holding a cigarette between his fingers and listening to his subordinate's report, nodding from time to time.
Noticing Jiang Li approaching, he quickly put out the cigarette.
"Do you have to be busy with work?"
Xiao Yanzhi smiled. "I also want to come here specially to accompany you on vacation, but obviously, I'm not that lucky."
In fact, Xiao Yanzhi did have official business to attend to.
He still had a meeting to attend in Austria, and he also needed to sign for a batch of goods at the port. In short, he couldn't accompany her all the time.
Jiang Li pouted, very reluctantly. "So you came to Vienna for work."
There was a bit of complaint and unhappiness in her words.
It turned out that Xiao Yanzhi didn't come specifically for her. He just happened to be able to see her and spend some time with her because of work. What kind of romance was this?
Xiao Yanzhi raised his hand and motioned for the reporter to leave first. He clapped the ash off his hands and said casually, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have handled this job personally at all."
"However, since I'm already here, I still have to go through the motions. Please understand me, okay?"
"You just focus on your work."
Jiang Li was just in a momentary mood. Having been with Xiao Yanzhi for so many years, she wasn't so childish as to not know what was more important and play the bargaining game that only teenagers would play.
She wasn't a child anymore. She knew how to be proper on some matters and wouldn't deliberately be unreasonable.
Xiao Yanzhi looked down at her, trying to catch a glimpse of any unhappy emotions on her face.
But her eyes were clear, without the slightest bit of reluctance.
"I'll come to pick you up tonight." Xiao Yanzhi lowered his eyes, leaned close to her ear, and whispered softly, "Don't drink tonight."
He wanted her to be sober.
Jiang Li bit her lower lip. The temperature on her face, which had just dropped, suddenly rose rapidly again.
She almost dragged Jing Yi and trotted quickly into the car and left.
Xiao Yanzhi put his hands in his trouser pockets and watched the car drive away, with a smile on his lips.
In the car, Jing Yi simply blinked and asked her, "Sister Jiang Li, did you sleep well on the cruise ship last night?"
"… It was great."
Jing Yi continued enviously, "Watching the fireworks on a luxury cruise ship must be very romantic, right? I could see it clearly from our hotel last night. The fireworks by the river almost lit up the whole of Vienna. It was as bright as day."
"How do you know the fireworks last night were set off by Xiao Yanzhi?" Jiang Li sharply caught some information.
Suddenly exposed, Jing Yi immediately fell silent and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Jiang Li wasn't in a hurry. She took a sip of water and slowly waited for Jing Yi to confess.
"Sister Jiang Li..." Jing Yi finally chose to surrender. "After you and General Manager Xiao left, I called him. He told me not to worry about you. He had prepared a fireworks show for you."
Jiang Li: "…"
She never expected that Xiao Yanzhi could secretly bribe the people closest to her.
"Didn't you say not long ago that you thought he was not good to me? How come in just a few days, you've become a spy colluding with him?"
Jing Yi quickly denied it. "I'm not really a spy. I told him to be good to you. Otherwise, I would have called the police last night."
