"No, it's not what you think."
Zhuli was a little anxious, and her expression was naturally too excited.
Ren Xingyan half-squinted his eyes, folded his hands on his chest, and said, "Cousin, you have changed."
"You told me everything before, what's going on now?"
She pretended to be angry and stared at her sideways.
Zhuli reached out and scratched the tip of her nose twice, feeling embarrassed for a while.
"I do not know how to explain it."
With his lowered eyes, he was secretly sending a message back to Jing Huaizhi.
[Xingyan said she won’t go and can’t be persuaded! ! ! ]
Three exclamation points in a row indicate that the task is extremely difficult.
Unexpectedly, the next second, he called directly.
Zhuli hurriedly tried to mute her phone, but a cold voice came to her ears.
"catch."
Ren Xingyan supported his head with one hand and looked at her momentarily.
She raised her eyes and glanced at her briefly, then pressed the answer button.
Ren Xingyan conveniently clicked on the speakerphone.
A melodious and long male voice came through the receiver: "Honey, why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"
Zhuli raised her hand to her forehead, biting her lip.
If conditions allowed, she would really like to dig a crack in the ground and crawl in.
"Hello, wife?"
After the call was connected, Jing Huai shouted again when he saw no one spoke.
"What's wrong?"
Her eyes were lowered and she felt ashamed.
"miss you."
Jing Huaizhi glanced at Du Jianzhou, who was sitting beside him eavesdropping, and said teasingly.
Du Jianzhou leaned forward, got closer to him and reminded him in a low voice: "Ask about business, business."
He put his palm on his forehead and pushed it away.
"When did you come over?"
Zhuli on the other side of the phone had a pale face and didn't know how to answer.
It took a long time before he slowly uttered a few words: "Wait a moment."
After the call was hung up, she suddenly had an idea and winked at Ren Xingyan, who was sitting on the side of the sofa.
"Follow me and I'll tell you."
Ren Xingyan: "..."
Qijia Hall
The address given by Du Jianzhou was a river view restaurant. When the two of them arrived, Jing Huaizhi was sitting on a bench on the terrace smoking.
Ren Xingyan swore that she chose to come with Zhuli purely for gossip, not for love!
After seeing Jing Huai, she poked Zhuli's arm with her elbow: "Your husband."
Zhuli's cheeks turned from bluish-white to pinkish-white, and her eyelids drooped: "Don't talk nonsense."
Ren Xingyan looked like he understood and said nothing.
"Xingyan, you..."
Zhuli regained her composure, and the expression on her face changed again and again.
"Cousin, I agreed to come here just to make it clear to him."
Before Zhuli could finish speaking, she solemnly told her the purpose of her trip.
Zhuli's eyebrows flashed, and there was a trace of surprise in his eyes.
"His mother came to me and said that she would not accept the public appearance of her future daughter-in-law and wanted me to give up live broadcasting."
Ren Xingyan told her the reason in an understatement, but Zhuli felt very uncomfortable after the words.
She raised her arms and hugged Ren Xingyan, stroking her back.
She didn't notice at all that the person buried on her shoulder had tears streaming down her face.
"You two are..."
Jing Huaizhi stood beside the two of them, looking at them curiously.
When Ren Xingyan saw this, he immediately put his head aside and wiped away his tears.
However, Zhuli still caught it, and tears began to well up in his eyes.
What Ren Xingyan said was not what she was worried about.
"He's over there."
Jing Huaizhi tapped Du Jianzhou, who was standing by the guardrail, with his chin, indicating that she could leave.
Ren Xingyan didn't choose to ask any more questions and walked over.
"what happened?"
"Who bullied you?"
His eyes instantly turned cold, and he stretched out his hand to pull the person into his arms.
Just as Zhuli was about to speak, her nose bubbled up unexpectedly.
The tips of her ears turned red instantly, and she was so embarrassed.
Jing Huaizhi took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped it for her, and was inexplicably made to laugh.
"I've never seen anything like you."
This was a solution for her, but the more she heard it, the more strange it became.
"Let's go find them."
Zhuli pulled his arm in the direction of Ren Xingyan.
-
"Let's talk."
The soft voice drifted into Du Jianzhou's cochlea along the sea breeze.
He slowly turned around and met those bewitching eyes, but hesitated to speak.
"We...have no results."
When he heard her say this, Du Jianzhou suddenly raised his head and grabbed her wrist.
"Why!"
"I know you like me too, right?"
There was so much expectation in his eyes that Ren Xingyan didn't dare to say the words of rejection when it came to his lips.
At that time, Zhuli saw the opportunity and turned on the star lights that had been arranged in advance.
Suddenly, the empty lawn seemed to be bathed in brilliant light.
She pushed Jing Huaizhi to let him go with her to set off the salute.
"Because I won't give up my career, so I may not be able to be with you without any distractions."
"sorry."
As soon as he finished speaking, the salute sounded.
The scene was very embarrassing.
Ren Xingyan closed his eyes, suppressed the anger that was about to overflow in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Cousin, go home."
The smile on Zhuli's face slowly disappeared, and she stood motionless in embarrassment.
Suddenly, a heavy rain fell, causing ripples on the ground.
Jing Huaizhi quickly took off his coat and put it on Zhuli's head, pulling her into the restaurant.
Ren Xingyan looked back at Du Jianzhou, who was still in his original position, and immediately ran to him, grabbed his wrist, and took him inside to hide from the rain.
Looking at the people running in front, Du Jianzhou suddenly felt a warm current in his heart.
Maybe there is still hope for him.
Inside the restaurant
Jing Huaizhi asked the waiter for a towel and gently wiped Zhuli's hair.
"You two will die if you don't show affection."
Du Jianzhou was already in a bad mood, but now he became irritable.
He stood up, took out the cigarette case from Jing Huai's pocket, took out one and lit it.
Just after taking a sip, I kept coughing.
Ren Xingyan stood up slightly, poured him a glass of hot water and pushed it to him.
Zhuli straightened her lips and looked at Ren Xingyan with slightly raised eyes.
"Would you like to get a room upstairs?"
Jing Huaizhi handed the towel in his hand to the waiter standing aside, and naturally put his arm around her shoulders.
She frowned, a bad feeling welling up in her heart.
"There are still people here, can you please stop killing the dog?"
Seeing Zhuli's slightly uneasy expression, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's raining so hard, how can you go home?"
"Didn't you drive here?"
She pinched her eyebrows and changed from her usual meekness.
"I was drinking. I don't believe you smell it."
As he spoke, he put his head into the crook of her neck.
Feeling that this was not enough, he blew on her cheek again.
Du Jianzhou: It would be annoying if I failed to express my love.
Ren Xingyan: "..."
"Mr. Du, you..."
"I came in his car."
Before Zhuli could finish speaking, Du Jianzhou wisely blocked her escape.
