Chapter 335: Cold Goddess Yuan Jin
Every spring rain brings a warm feeling. At the end of May, after the rain in Beijing, the sun reappeared at noon, and the gentle breeze and warm day were already a bit hot.

The garden was littered with flower petals. Zhou Fenglan was distressed as she tried to rescue the delicate flowers that had been blown down by the wind and rain, but she ignored the fact that her floral dress was stained with mud.

Xie Jingxing sat in the corridor without helping, and occasionally made some sarcastic remarks to instruct on how to operate.

"The weather in the capital is rough in spring and autumn. These flowers are the plants of this season. Don't worry about them." He persuaded leisurely.

Zhou Fenglan glanced at the rose tree in the corner that was full of bright red flowers: "How could it bloom so beautifully?"

"They are quite beautiful. Let's transplant a few more next year." Xie Jingxing said casually.

Zhou Fenglan lowered his head and continued to work. After thinking for a while, he said, "Too many of these flowers will be ugly. I'll plant some vines next year."

"Wisteria or green vine? Honeysuckle seems to be a vine as well?"

"Let's plant honeysuckle, two ginkgo trees, and peach trees. When you appreciate a garden, you have to look at the whole thing, with a clear distinction between the main and the secondary, with green leaves against red flowers, and flowers blooming in different seasons. This way, it will be beautiful from spring to autumn."

"It seems that there are peach blossoms to see in the mountains these days. Do you want to go?" Xie Jingxing asked again.

Zhou Fenglan shook his head: "I'm too lazy to move. I'll keep some thoughts in mind so that I can transplant the peach trees carefully next year."

Xie Jing Xing smiled, raised his wrist and looked at the time: "I have something to go out for, I will be back soon."

"Go get busy. It's not good for you to stay at home all day. They are all paying attention to your movements."

Zhou Fenglan used the back of her hand to rub the ends of her hair that fell beside her ears. Her dirty hands wrestled with the bent and fallen branches and leaves and the scattered petals. Her cold profile was focused and calm.

Xie Jingxing silently withdrew his gaze, stood up and walked away, his figure gradually disappearing around the corner of the corridor.

His judgment on the competition in the local life sector was very correct. Mr. Ma kept his promise and said that this matter will not be over until it is over!

Alibaba went back on its word and refused to sell its shares in Meituan to Tencent as agreed. Instead, it took the initiative to contact Grapefruit Capital to sell the shares and cut the price by 20%.

First, whether Xie Jingxing accepts this gift package or not, the Tencent-New DAE camp, which is already on the verge of confrontation, will be further torn apart; second, Meituan’s overall valuation has been dragged down by 20%, and shareholders and investors are all worried, making it more difficult to seek a new round of financing.

Going further, a few days ago Alibaba quickly agreed to sell its shares to Tencent, which was also intended to provoke confrontation between Tencent and Xie's capital.

So now all stakeholders are paying attention to Xie Jingxing's movements, but he is taking care of Zhou Fenglan in the courtyard as if he is unaware of it, and even has the leisure to flip through a postpartum care reference book.

"You are quite thoughtful. Actually, you don't need to do things like serving tea and water yourself. You need to learn how to manage the nanny at home, how to welcome and see off guests and socialize with the family, and handle various small matters that cost money."

On the way from the courtyard to the hotel, Xie Jingxing swiped his finger across the e-book screen, which showed densely packed handwritten notes, and thought about adding a few popular science books on British social folk culture to the bookshelf.

Yuan Jin sat beside him with a frown on her face: "These are really difficult. I can't learn them well."

"You are a backbone working in the hospital, so have some confidence in yourself." Xie Jingxing encouraged patiently.

Yuan Jin took his hand and shook it softly, saying in a tearful tone, "Can I not learn?"

Her big eyes were misty, her neck-length hair had a few messy ends sticking to her tightly pursed red lips, and her pretty face looked tearful.

Zhou Fenglan quit her job as a teacher at Columbia University and applied for a teaching position at Cambridge University, set to start this fall.

Preparations had already been made since Xie Jingxing handed her a large stack of property certificates given by Old Xie as a gift while saying sweet words.

But it was only at this time that Yuan Jin realized that she would also be taken to England.

"Okay, but you have to know that you have to take the initiative to fight for everything in this world. You have already fallen behind Concubine Pei once, this is your chance."

Xie Jing Xing remained indifferent. He raised his hand and gently stroked the silk ribbon jade collar lining her delicate collarbone, tightening it gently.

Obviously, he didn't use any strength and there was no coercion, but Yuan Jin couldn't control herself and her whole body became limp. The hairs on her fair and tender skin stood up visibly, and she fell into his arms like a boneless person.

It's like this every time, every time!
Yuan Jin's face was filled with despair as she propped up her arms and buried her head deep until she could not breathe. Ever since Xie Jingxing said that she would look good in a collar accessory, she had unconsciously gotten used to it and adapted to it, and eventually was unable to resist.

She didn't want to be taken to a foreign country to be a maid. Yu Tong had just given birth and had to resume work, so she was not very energetic. Concubine Pei Zhongbiao ran away to the United States to live in seclusion to protect her pregnancy. Song Anli was busy working semi-independently and was exhausted day and night.

If Zhou Fenglan went to London again, she would be like a liberated serf singing and reciting aloud "The sea is vast for fish to leap, the sky is high for birds to fly", which is all very interesting.

What this and that, let’s see who dares to raise his voice to her from now on!

Yuan Jin had thought about these principles a thousand times, and had firmly held on to her belief in resistance countless times in her heart, but at this moment, Xie Jingxing just snapped his fingers and everything disappeared.

It has nothing to do with profit calculations, it's just the action of him hooking his fingers.

"She just arrived in the UK and is unfamiliar with the place and the child is young. I am really worried. You can help me take care of her for a year at most. When the child is older and familiar with the environment, you can come back."

Xie Jingxing smiled comfortably, taking a breath and speaking intermittently, inserting his fingers into Yuan Jin's smooth short hair and stroking it to soothe her.

I leaned back in the chair, enjoying myself, and looked out the window with empty eyes, watching the street scene flash by quickly and retreating. I thought that maybe I should have tried to say some sweet words to keep the child when Zhou Fenglan reacted strongly when I mentioned naming the child last time.

"But, every season has its own flowers blooming, from spring to autumn... it's decent."

Xie Jingxing whispered to himself, Zhou Fenglan had blossomed in the spring of his life, and now it was summer.

"Hiss, it's getting better and better, just hold on a little longer."

He suddenly hissed, pressed down roughly with his hands, and laughed in a frivolous and self-deprecating tone: "I will not go anywhere and will accompany you during this period. You should also try hard. Maybe you will get pregnant before you leave and bring the baby back next year." Yuan Jin's mind went blank. Her body instinctively prompted her to roll her eyes slightly and enjoy the suffocating pleasure to the fullest.

Only at this moment did she have no time to worry about the public order and good customs, interests, integrity and moral education she had received since childhood, and her current distorted and abnormal life situation.

There is no need to consider the opinions of parents, friends, acquaintances or strangers, because she is a little animal and the only thing she needs to do is to listen to her owner.

…………

An hour later, at the hotel.

"Mr. Xie has a very standard figure and is a typical clothes hanger. I watched a variety show two years ago. I don't know the details, but I subconsciously felt that every suit he wore must be the most attentive and best work of the fashion designer."

The handsome and delicate young man with hair wax on said to himself: "Because such a good figure can only be matched by the best works."

"Mr. Xie usually orders his formal wear in Europe. This time, I specially asked you to customize his wedding dress because I heard that your designs are most suitable for Asian body types." Yuan Jin nodded slightly politely.

The refined man asked with admiring eyes: "Assistant Yuan, have you ever worked as a model before?"

"No." Yuan Jin had no intention of explaining.

The exquisite man was very interested and praised her without hiding his interest: "In fact, I want to say that your figure is better than many first-line models in China. And your posture, the way you stand and the way you raise your hands, you can tell that you have been professionally trained. Your manners are dignified, generous and heroic."

"In our jargon, it's called neutral beauty, a very high-end temperament. You must be very cool in your life. I'm afraid ordinary men wouldn't dare to talk to you."

The refined man started to wander off topic as he was talking, and put his hand into his bag, preparing to take out his phone to add someone on WeChat. Yuan Jin smiled faintly and did not respond, which was indeed unusually cold.

As an employee of the best tailor shop in Hong Kong Island, he had never seen many ladies, no matter how rich or beautiful they were, who could withstand this level of compliments.

Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward and the sophisticated man was aroused by his desire to conquer and was quickly thinking of new tactics, a cell phone rang in the pocket of the clothes hanging on the hanger.

It was Xie Jingxing's. Yuan Jin took out her cell phone and walked into the inner room of the hotel suite, bringing with her a gust of fragrant wind, leaving him alone staring blankly at the pile of clothing fabric patterns available for pre-selection.

She is indeed cold, but she is beautiful, and her perfume and clothes are also great. This kind of woman is probably completely unaffected by the extravagant material desires of the outside world and is dismissive of men. You have to use sincerity and time to pursue her.

"okay, I get it……"

The sophisticated man was just dreaming in his heart when he saw a younger and more popular business tycoon than him pushing the door open, surrounded by his boss, the chief designer and others.

He was talking on the phone, looking straight ahead, then he grabbed his coat and left.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Xie has something urgent to do, so let's leave it at that for today."

"No problem. We have basically measured the sizes. Please ask Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie to select the fabrics and send them to us."

"Thank you."

In a few words, the cool and beautiful assistant chased after the business tycoon. The sophisticated man looked at his boss and chief designer, took off his coat reluctantly, and packed up with several colleagues.

The entire team of more than ten people almost emptied the store and carried twice the number of suitcases on a chartered flight from Hong Kong Island to Beijing, and they finished the job in just two hours.

It’s great to be rich. This business tycoon is considered to be the best at wasting money among the rich people, the sophisticated man complained secretly.

"Oh my god, when will this day end? It's so stressful!"

Leaving the hotel and getting in the car, Xie Jingxing gritted his teeth and complained viciously, just for the trivial matter of wedding dresses, Yu Tong had placed orders for more than ten sets since half a year ago, and he has been getting more and more aggressive recently, tormenting him eight times in half a month.

Whether it be the old European tailor, the Hong Kong designer, or the inheritor of Suzhou embroidery, each of them respectfully called me teacher and treated me with the highest courtesy throughout the whole process.

If he got a little impatient, Yu Tong would worry that these craftsmen weren't making clothes carefully. These bastards really knew how to manipulate women's mindsets, and they all acted like big shots.

It doesn't matter if you spend some money, but they always come to Beijing in the name of striving for excellence and make trouble for you, as if they are trying to prove that your money is well spent!
There was no way Xie Jingxing would let Zhou Fenglan know about this. He was forced to go to the hotel to entertain these bastards every time. If he wanted to leave early, he had to pretend and find an excuse.

"Making two dresses is more tiring than being a KGB spy chief!"

He kept on complaining but got no comfort, so he turned his head to look beside him. Yuan Jin was sitting with her legs crossed, her hands folded on her legs, her chin slightly raised, her face expressionless, and she looked very cool and aloof, as if to say "keep away from strangers".

"What's wrong with you?" Xie Jingxing was confused.

Yuan Jin raised her heroic eyebrows and pointed at his phone: "Alibaba is waiting for your reply."

"What?" Xie Jingxing was confused.

Yuan Jin said seriously: "Just now, Guan Linhui, the president of Yunhe Logistics Company, called you to report..."

"I mean, what's wrong with you? Are you playing the role of a cold goddess?" Xie Jingxing interrupted with his eyes squinting.

Yuan Jin frowned and her face turned cold: "What a trouble. Can you please focus on your own business? I don't want to talk now."

"You are all sick!"

Xie Jingxing lowered the privacy glass partition between the front and rear seats in the car. Yuan Jin held her shoulders high and looked at him with disdain. She squatted down passively, stepped on the roof of the car, and called him dad in a cold manner.

A very cool little animal.
