<h4>Chapter 220 - Did You Know, When You Are Lying, You Didn''t Even Blink Your Eyes</h4>
"Did you cry today?" Xian Zihao frowned.
Was it that obvious?
Jiang Run paused, lowering her head to look at the cup in her hand. "Hiss...So hot!"
Hearing that, Xian Zihao quickly took the cup from her hand and turned back to his office. Jiang Run raised her hand to scratch her eyebrows, and after a moment of hesitation, she followed him.
Only then did she notice the footage on the wall to the right of the office. She looked at him and asked, "What is this?"
"Thepany intends to record H City tourism promotion videos. We are taking some samples for screening." Xian Zihao put down the cup on the table.
"H City tourism? What? Are you nning to use Xian Group to promote the H City tourism development project?" Jiang Run asked with a smile.
Xian Zihao didn''t answer her question but instead asked, "You''ve always disliked crying in front of others. Why are you crying today?"
Jiang Run was a little apprehensive. She turned around to look at his expression and then couldn''t help butugh. "Aren''t you moved?"
Xian Zihao raised his handsome eyebrow, clearly dissatisfied with her answer. Jiang Run walked over to him and said, "Really, you can tell that I cried even though I had light makeup on my face. Actually, I had a little quarrel with someone in thepany today. I couldn''t stand with her anymore, so I squeezed out two drops of Tears Drop to let our chief editor make the decision for me. This is called a trick!"
Jiang Run spoke proudly, but Xian Zihao didn''t seem to pay attention to her exnation. Instead, he quietly gazed at the corner of her eyes that had been covered by a thinyer of powder. He raised his hand and caressed the corner of her eye gently.
It was obvious that Xian Zihao didn''t believe Jiang Run at all, but he still remained silent, as if he believed everything she said.
Jiang Run chuckled as she tugged on his suit jacket coquettishly, tracing his chest with her fingers, and changed the subject, "Hubby, I made tea for you, don''t you want to try it? It will be cold in a moment ~"
"Jiang Run, you really make me want to get angry at you." Xian Zihao lowered his hand and nced at the red line on her neck.
Jiang Run raised her hand and felt her neck along with his gaze. When her fingers touched that piece of skin, she felt a faint slight pain.
This may have been a wound from Wei Donghai''s nails when he tried to rip her shirt cor.
Jiang Run pursed her lips and rubbed the skin. Although she felt pain, she did not make a sound because she didn''t want Xian Zihao to be angry with her.
"How did it happen?" Xian Zihao asked tly.
"Maybe my colleague identally scratched my neck with her fingernails when I was pulling her …" Jiang Run looked up.
Xian Zihao''s eyes glinted as he looked at her coldly. "Did you know, when you are lying, you didn''t even blink your eyes?"
Jiang Run was frightened. Her heart was pounding, and a big part of her heart suddenly felt empty.
Just what in the world … How much did he know...
Seeing her silence, Xian Zihao''s eyes immediately became colder. He pressed a few numbers on the phone andmanded, "Bring me a wound medicine."
Not even two minutester, a staff member knocked on the door and came in with a medicinal ointment. He then left without saying a word.
"You went to the Ling Group this morning?" Xian Zihao said tly as he opened the lid of the top section of the ointment and lightly rubbed the slightly cold ointment on the red mark on her neck.
Seeing that she couldn''t hide it any longer, Jiang Run had no choice but to give a "Hmm".
Her eyes looked a little embarrassed.
Xian Zihao nced at the apologetic look in her eyes and sighed slightly.?He twisted the ointment''s lid and casually ced it on the side. "Didn''t I tell you not to alert the enemy?"
Hearing his reprimanded tone, Jiang Run let out a sigh of relief, "I didn''t mean to alert them. Ling Group warned ourpany and asked us to do public rtions for them. Obviously, the goal is not pure. I just want to use my identity as the Business Reporting Department''s editor-in-chief to chat with him. "
"Oh?" Xian Zihao crossed his arms over his chest andzily leaned against the desk. He nced at Jiang Run with a shallow smile. "What''s the result of your discussion?"
Jiang Run shook her head embarrassedly. Before Xian Zihao could scold her, she wrapped her arms around his neck and nestled into his arms. She leaned her head against his chest, closed her eyes, and said nothing.
Right now, she didn''t want to recall anything. She also didn''t want to say anything. All she wanted was to quietly lean against him.
Xian Zihao was slightly stunned by her cat-like actions. After being stiff for two seconds, he finally gently hugged her back. He stroked her hair. "Run, this is the office."
"Mm, I know …" Jiang Run put her face against his chest and spoke in a muffled voice.
Xian Zihao''s voice was somewhat hoarse as he asked, "Are you sure you know?"
"Hmm? What''s wrong?"
Jiang Run raised her eyes and felt his arm tighten around her. At the same time, he reached back to close the blinds in the office.
Xian Zihao locked the door behind her, blocking the light, causing the office to turn dark.
Jiang Run was startled. Could it be that Xian Zihao was thinking that she was seducing him?!
But he didn''t make any other move. He kissed her on the face, letting her hands wrap around his waist without letting go. He just quietly hugged her like this.
Jiang Run lifted her face and listened to the thump of his strong heart. She breathed in the unique scent of his body and felt herself enveloped in a steady, extremely secure warmth.
"Do you like it?" Xian Zihao whispered in her ear.
Jiang Run looked at him in surprise. Could it be that he could easily see that she liked to hug him? However, she still answered honestly, "I like it."
Xian Zihao tightened his hug again and gently said, "If you like it, hug me a little longer."
It was already afternoon and it was rare for Jiang Run to not care about her work. Because of such a warm embrace, she decided not to go to the office and instead stay here to hug him.
