Our Glamorous Time

Chapter 58: The Passing of Time

It was the dead of night.

Lying in bed, Lin Qian was closely listening the noise from the bathroom. When she heard, "click", the door was pushed open, and she immediately closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

Having freshened up, Li Zhicheng headed back to the bedroom. He instantly laid his eyes on her slightly squeezed brows, and her lightly shut eyes. As a soldier, his excellent eyesight meant he could quickly shoot moving target from hundreds of meters away, let alone right now, clearly seeing her within the confines of his bedroom, with her slightly trembling lashes, he knew she was not asleep.

Li Zhicheng kept walking towards the bed, like nothing had happened, and started to take off his clothes.

Like most men, he only wore a pair of boxer shorts to sleep. Squinting, Lin Qian blurrily saw him lifting the duvet and lie down, his strong and well-proportioned figure looked extra masculine under the light.

Quitely, Lin Qian was still pretending to be asleep.

Then she could feel his body slowly touching hers, with one of his hands on her waist, slowly rubbing, "Are you asleep?"

"Yeah." eyes shut, Lin Qian only replied with one word.

"Has it sunk in yet?" He continued.

This was from just now, in the study, after Li Zhicheng had revealed to her his plan. Although Lin Qian was full of excitement, she only responded, "Hmm... I understand. I need to let it sink in a little bit more."

Women were all the same. After giving him the silent treatment, or following a confrontation, regardless of the logic of his argument, it took time for her emotions to calm.

Lin Qian was a very wise woman. From the start to the end, she had known that Li Zhicheng was doing the right thing. He'd said it before, that he would never take the initiative to set someone up. He'd also said that this time, if they didn't take the initiative to get rid of New Bori, Ning Weikai was bound to start working on a new brand, and force out Vinda, who had just established themselves. Since the entire staff from Aida were immersed in the joy of their victory, he was the only one to see the deadly threat behind all this; it was the perfect opportunity to make this move. There was no other choice but to push our way through. We would either make it or break it.

However, logic was one thing, emotions were another.

She turned around, facing against him, "No. I still need a few more days."

Since I traded my heart with him, he has became my everything. Shouldn't I have the right to vent however I want to? Huh...

Should she have seen through his secret plan ages ago?

After having a think, she still felt she shouldn't have.

Even with a well-planned strategy, it was not as if he had made it through this gamble without risks and challenges. If they hadn't found the fabric from Mind to be of high enough quality, or if Mind's president didn't agree to his shareholding agreement, or even if Ning Weikai didn't fall for his trap... Li Zhicheng wouldn't have ended up as he was, with a clearly settled victory. Now he was only waiting to rise to the top of the industry, effortlessly, in the coming year.

Due to his immense capabilities, he was also under more pressure than other. Every step he has taken was like walking on thin ice.

Having thought of this, Lin Qian became tenderhearted.

Meanwhile, she felt Li Zhicheng's breath was slowing, and his hand on her waist also stopped moving.

Lin Qian listened carefully, she was a little speechless all of sudden. He can't just... fall asleep?
