Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: Taking the Opportunity to Get Close

Zhou Hengguang narrowed his eyes slightly, brushing his hand over his forehead, before realizing in his haste to leave that he had left his down jacket in the meeting room. Just as he was about to turn around to retrieve it, Ji Fang was already rushing over with his long white down jacket in hand.

“Your coat.” Ji Fang had just realized it too and ran back quickly to fetch it, catching up without a word to help Zhou Hengguang put it on.

Wearing the long and fluffy down jacket on his slender and gaunt frame, Zhou Hengguang looked like a delectable little bun, complemented by his soft black hair, everything seemed so pleasant to the eye. Even the aloofness and detachment he usually carried seemed much diluted.

It was a complete contrast to when he wore a suit.

“So good-looking,” Ji Fang said sincerely, “Only the Deputy Director could wear a white down jacket so well. Ordinary people either can’t fill it out or just look too bulky in it. Deputy Director, you’re like a hanger, not only do you not appear bulky but you even look more elegant.”

No wonder Zhao Wei was so clingy.

Zhou Hengguang, walking ahead, couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation, “Did you smear honey on your mouth? Suddenly learning to speak nicely, haven’t you always cursed me as a hypocrite in your heart?”

Ji Fang: “…”

When had he ever? Well, okay! He really had cursed in his heart before.

But that was when he was naive, and now he had changed.

“No such thing,” Ji Fang denied outright, “I’m telling the truth, it really looks good. I don’t have such nice clothes myself.”

“If you like it, I’ll give you one.” It was only a coat, nothing valuable.

Zhou Hengguang was always generous to his own people.

“Better not, even if you gave it to me, I wouldn’t look good in it. So white, I would turn it black in just a day.” He couldn’t maintain it spotless like the Deputy Director could, even when wearing white clothes.

After all, everyone was running around on the construction site, and the Deputy Director had to take his junior brother for inspections as well.

“As you wish.”

Entering building number three, the warm air inside immediately greeted them, the heat brushing against their faces, but it didn’t make Zhou Hengguang’s complexion look much better. His lips pursed, his face was even paler; Zhou Hengguang had been running a low fever for a while now.

It wasn’t high, just 0.5 degrees, but it just wouldn’t subside, burning like this for almost a month. Even a body tough as iron couldn’t withstand it for long, especially since he had been very busy ever since he arrived here.

So busy he didn’t have a moment to rest.

Just then, a figure suddenly dashed towards him from an angle, heading straight into Zhou Hengguang’s arms. His discomfort slowed his reflexes, and with Ji Fang behind him blocking the way,

he failed to dodge in time, and the person crashed right into his arms.

It was Zhao Wei.

After running out of the resting room in embarrassment and indignation, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Knowing that Deputy Director Zhou would surely return to his room to rest after the meeting, she rushed to the lobby of building three to wait for him.

Just to find an opportunity to get closer to Deputy Director Zhou.

She refused to believe that with her beauty, any man could resist her when she threw herself at them.

Initially, she felt quite embarrassed; being too forward made her shy, but today the Deputy Director’s secretary had gone too far. He was too rude. Ji Fang dared to disrespect her, but once she became the Deputy Director’s wife, she would see how she would torment Ji Fang to death.

“Ouch!” Zhao Wei exclaimed softly, her body leaning weakly into Zhou Hengguang’s embrace, attempting to make the man feel her frailty. The moment she fell into his arms, the man’s pleasant scent mixed with the allure of his pheromones intoxicated Zhao Wei completely.
