I have dreamed of this scene countless times over the past few days and nights, but I didn’t expect it to appear in front of me now. At this moment, my movements of holding the key in my hand froze.

"Bing, Bingrou... When did you come back?"

Yes, the person who appeared at the door of the rental house at this moment was Ning Bingrou, who I thought was still on a business trip in the United States. She... is back!

"What's wrong? Are you so shocked?" Ning Bingrou smiled sweetly and walked towards me. That smile was like the mountain breeze in the morning and the bright stars in the dark night.

"I, there is a little bit. Why don't you say to me in advance when you come back?" I hugged her waist, then opened the door and went into the room with her, "Bingrou, have you been waiting for me at the door for a long time?"

"No, I just returned, but if you come back a little later, I will really squat at the door waiting for you to come back, because I forgot to bring the key you gave me before."

When I entered the room, Ning Bingrou and I chatted for a while and learned that she hadn't eaten yet. I was with Qiu Yue, Qiao Wenxuan and others, and I had just finished the meal. I was not hungry yet. So I found some ingredients in the refrigerator. I haven't come back to the rental house for almost a week, and only eggs and noodles were left. In addition to noodles, they were noodles, but one was cooked and the other was instant noodles.

I asked Ning Bingrou to sit first, so I went to the kitchen myself and chatted with her while cooking noodles. Ning Bingrou, who was sitting on a chair in the living room, would hold Xiao Si and strode a cat.

"Bingrou, how are you doing on a business trip? I heard you last time, it seems that it is not over so soon. How long will you be ready to stay when you come back this time?"

"I'm going back the day after tomorrow. I've booked an early flight ticket. This time I'm just reporting on the work situation. Moreover, the customer also needs to hold an internal meeting to screen the plans we submitted. It will take about three working days."

I asked in confusion: "Reporting work situation? Can't we use video to hold online meetings now?"

Ning Bingrou turned her head and looked at me with a calm expression. She first said: Give you a look and feel it slowly. I thought for a while and immediately understood what she meant.

Yes, the customer held a meeting to discuss screening plans. Three working days were equivalent to holiday, so he rushed back to China to see me. Alas, it seems that I was stupid for a moment, so I didn't realize so quickly what she meant.

I smiled at her awkwardly, and Ning Bingrou felt nothing was wrong, and then continued to ask: "Aren't you supposed to be in the company at this time today? Why did you come back so early?"

"Eat noodles first, I'll talk to you slowly later." I walked out of the kitchen with the bowl of cooked egg instant noodles and sat next to her, "This is a long story."

"Hmm? What's wrong, is it happening?"

I hesitated for a moment, and then told her everything that happened these days, but I would explain it slightly lightly, but even so, Ning Bingrou still felt thrilling for me after hearing it.

"Why did things happen so suddenly? Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise... what should you do if you ask me to do?" When he spoke, Ning Bingrou was even crying, with a look of worry on her face.

"It's okay, everything has passed. Am I sitting in front of you safely now?" I responded to her smile and signaled her to continue eating noodles.

Not long after I was sitting in the rental house, it was soon as night fell. Ning Bingrou suggested taking a walk with me, but she didn't have to go to the boulevard in the old place, just walk downstairs.

When I was walking on the road, I asked Ning Bingrou how she was doing during her business trip to the United States, but when I talked about this topic, Ning Bingrou suddenly stopped and her expression became a little worried.

"At present, I still have a certain chance of winning, but David has a strong professional level, so I can't take it lightly until the final result comes out. This time, the project for the US client bidding is very large, but the client will be asked to pay a part of the advance fund in the early stage."

"Advance? How much does it take to pay?"

"A large-scale project like this is at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and the unit is US dollars."

"I'll go! So much!!" This made me smack my tongue. I couldn't help but feel curious and continued to ask, "I want to know, what kind of project is this?"

"A... a six-star international hotel was originally scheduled to be seven-star, but it may not have found a suitable partner in the early stage, so it was downgraded. It is precisely because of this that we have the opportunity."

When I heard Ning Bingrou say this, I understand why such a huge amount of funds are needed. We continued to walk for a short time, and then went back to the rental house. After that day, I was very tired, and Ning Bingrou also came back all the way, so we went back to rest.

After taking a shower, we were originally going back to the room to go to bed, but Ning Bingrou turned on the light in the room, then took out a bank card from her bag and put it on the table. This scene made me very confused.

"Bingrou, what are you doing?"

"Dongli, listen to me." Ning Bingrou's expression became serious. After pondering for a while, she continued: "This card is all the savings I have now. I will give you the card now. If... I really fail, so I leave Zhongtian Group. At least I can help you."

I wanted to speak, but she pressed one hand on my hand. She smiled and continued: "Aren't you already building our love castle? This also requires a lot of money. It is our common agreement and dream. I also hope that I can do my part, so don't refuse."

Ning Bingrou said this, which means she had already made plans. Even if I refuse, she was determined. I had to accept it, and then smiled and joked to her: "You gave me all your belongings, aren't you...are you... afraid that I will run away with the money?"

"You can do whatever you want, if you are willing to let it go."

It seemed that I said something calmly, but I clearly heard the feeling of loss in Ning Bingrou's tone, so I quickly comforted him: "Of course I can't bear to let it go. I'm just teasing you. No matter what the result is, it's good. I still said the same thing as before. I, Zhou Dongli, are still your shield."

"Well, I believe you."

"Then... let's sleep."

That night, we hugged each other and slept, and the joy after we parted for a long time was indescribable. Outside the window, the lonely moon was in the sky. Inside the house, the spring night was worth a thousand gold.

...

The next morning, Ning Bingrou got up earlier than me. When I woke up, she had already left the rental house, but wrote me a message.

Ning Bingrou: I have to go back to the group to report on my work early this morning. I will be very busy today, so I should not come to the evening because I have to catch the flight back to the United States tomorrow morning. I miss you.

Maybe it was because I was too busy, or maybe I didn’t want to experience such sorrow of parting again, I really hoped that we could stay together forever. After getting up, I cleaned up and went back to the company, and embarked on the road of "moving bricks" with a full of vitality.

This short gathering seemed to cheer me up, and I also knew that the progress of the renovation of Inspur Villa must be accelerated. Once the Binhai New Area is planned, Inspur Villa must catch up with the progress and put it into use.
Chapter completed!
