Chapter 607: One Month Has Come to An End

“Master Sheng, Miss Yiling showed up at Cai Ningxuan. The manager recognized her. Now, the matter regarding the Zhai family’s matriarch has been spread all over Beijing.”

Zhai Yunsheng was currently in his office. His men told him about Jian Yiling’s appearance at Cai Ningxuan.

Cai Ningxuan’s owner was not Zhai Yunsheng. However, the place had inextricable ties with the Zhai family.

In a sense, the Zhai family was the Master of the owner of Cai Ningxuan.

The Zhai family was connected with many businesses in China.

This circle of connections was led by the Zhai family. It was much more complex than anyone could imagine.

Cai Ningxuan vowed their loyalty and devotion to the Zhai family. It had been like this for generations.

Therefore, people from Cai Ningxuan recognized the pendant that symbolized the Zhai family’s matriarch.

This was the case even though no one had worn this pendant for many years.

“Was she interested in anything from Cai Ningxuan?” Zhai Yunsheng asked.

“Nope. She only drank some tea and ate some refreshments. She barely spoke.”

Zhai Yunsheng’s subordinate reported what happened to Jian Yiling at Cai Ningxuan in detail.

###

A month’s time passed by quickly.

Zhai Yunsheng heard from his grandpa that Jian Yiling would only stay in Beijing for a month.

Therefore, their time was almost about to come to an end.

Zhai Yunsheng did not know how to ask Jian Yiling to stay with him.

Therefore, he asked Yu Xi to post on Weibo on that day. Yu Xi’s Weibo said that [Domination] was going to participate in the Zerg Invasion tournament.

This could make up for the regret they had back then. In addition, this was also a reason to make her stay.

However, from observing her in the past few days, it appeared as though Jian Yiling had no intention of staying in Beijing.

In the past two days, Jian Yiling did the same as before.

She took care of him and took care of Jian Yichen who was living in the apartment opposite to them.

However, she did not mention her plans for the future. She did not mention what she planned to do when the month ended.

There were only two days left before the month was up.

Of course, Zhai Yunsheng could have used a more forceful approach to keep her with him. However, he did not want to do that.

At night, the two of them stayed in the study as usual. Both of them were busy with their own work.

“Yiling,” Zhai Yunsheng called out during Jian Yiling’s break.

“Hmm?”

“My sweater. Have you knitted it yet?”

“I’m still knitting it. It’s almost done.”

“Then, will you give it to me with your own hands?” Zhai Yunsheng asked as he gazed into Jian Yiling’s eyes.

He emphasized the words “with your own hands.”

“I will give it to you tomorrow.”

“You’ve basically finished knitting it already?”

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied. Then, she paused for a moment before she asked: “Do you not want it?”

“I...”

He wanted the sweater... However, he also wanted...

Then, Zhai Yunsheng said: “You can give it to me later. It’s okay if it’s a few days late. There’s no rush as long as you give it to me personally.”

“It will be finished soon,” Jian Yiling replied. There was no need for her to spend a few more days on it.

Upon hearing Jian Yiling’s words, Zhai Yunsheng realized that this path would not work. He quickly gave up on it.

After a while, the two of them finished their day’s work. Then, they went to play games.

As they played Zerg Invasion, Zhai Yunsheng mentioned the tournament to Jian Yiling: “We’ve applied to the Zerg Invasion tournament.”

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied. She knew about this. She had seen Yu Xi’s regular posts on social media.

Yu Xi said that he wanted to make up for his regrets back then.

In addition, Jian Yujie had also adjusted his work schedule for this tournament.

“Then, will you be participating in this tournament with us until the end?” Zhai Yunsheng asked. He tried to mention it carelessly.

“Mhmm.”

“Okay,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. A smile formed on the corners of his lips. Then, he opened Zerg Invasion’s official website.

The official website had the schedules for their games.

Before he saw their schedule, he saw the details of the tournament venue...

This year’s tournament venue was set in another country.

Jian, Yuncheng!
