A year older, the third master of Beijing circle kissed her to tears

Chapter 703: Honesty, I Care Very Much

"Your ID, this is the room card, please keep it." The receptionist said politely.

Xu Jingxi took the things and went upstairs. There were quite a few people gathered at the front desk downstairs.

"The eldest lady of the Xu family?"

"Why is she staying in the Zhuang family's hotel? It's really strange..."

People who are in the limelight don’t have to worry about no one spreading the news if there is any slight movement.

The next day, the news that the third master of the Zhuang family and the eldest daughter of the Xu family checked into a hotel room appeared in the newspaper.

Lu Zeng suppressed this matter immediately and it didn't become a big deal.

There was a morning newspaper on Zhuang Zhoucheng's desk, and Lu Zeng was waiting for this gentleman's instructions.

Entertainment Weekly has been quiet for a long time. Perhaps they knew that there was new movement from the bookmakers, so they started to pay attention to it again.

"Master, do you want to give the editor-in-chief of the gossip magazine a reminder?" Lu Zeng asked seriously.

These news are harmless to this gentleman. They are completely false and will not affect Tengfei in any way.

But the Third Master is a family man.

Now the situation is just in its infancy. If we don't take drastic measures at the first opportunity to give people a warning, there is no guarantee that people won't write nonsense later.

Being reported in the newspaper occasionally is not a big deal, but if it develops into something like Shi Zhenlin, it will be difficult to deal with.

Zhuang Zhoucheng picked up a newspaper and read it. There was only Xu Jingxi's silhouette in the photo. The headlines all had his name on them, and the photo was just of his car.

"Don't pay attention to these things." Zhuang Zhoucheng said in a deep voice.

"...Yes." Lu Zeng responded.

He didn't go out, but still stood there. Zhuang Zhoucheng raised his eyes slightly:

"Anything else?"

"If Miss Huo Yan also read the newspaper, how should I explain it?"

Seeing the old man's reaction, Lu Zeng confirmed that what was in the newspaper was true.

At least it was this gentleman who took Miss Xu to the banker's hotel.

So, this is equivalent to having to give a good confession first.

"It's nothing, what's there to explain?" Zhuang Zhoucheng said in a deep voice.

Direct denial?

Lu Zeng frowned slightly. There was no photo of the Third Master published, but his car was parked outside the hotel.

After a long while, he nodded, "Yes."

Huo Yan had classes in the afternoon, so Lu Zeng took her to school at noon, and Zhuang Zhoucheng picked her up in the afternoon.

The picking up and dropping off were all arranged by Zhuang Zhoucheng, but in fact they were the ones who were troubled.

But Zhuang Zhoucheng didn't think it was troublesome, so Huo Yan had nothing to say.

Huo Yan got in the car and talked to Zhuang Zhoucheng about school matters. A female student fell in love with her tutor and got married, and she sounded very happy about it.

"I also admire talented teachers. They look so handsome standing on the podium with such grace."

Huo Yan felt that it was a kind of aura, calm and restrained, very charming.

Of course, there are different types of teachers on the podium. There is still a difference between the old professors in their twilight years and the elegant young teachers.

Zhuang Zhoucheng sat for a while, listening carefully to his young wife's words with a serious expression, but he didn't actually go in.

I was wondering if she really didn't read the newspaper this morning? The servants should have put the newspaper on the table at a fixed time every day. She didn't have classes in the morning, so how could she not have seen it?

Huo Yan talked a lot, but the old man didn't respond at all. He was a little shocked and lost interest in talking.

"Zhuang Zhoucheng, could you please make a sound?"

Zhuang Zhoucheng came back to his senses, his eyes fell on her face, he raised his arm, hooked her neck and pulled her into his arms.

"Well, are you happy today?"

"I'm fine. What's wrong with you?" Huo Yan pushed his arm away and looked at him with her head tilted.

"It's okay, as long as you're happy." Zhuang Zhoucheng checked her safety buckle, then said "Sit tight", and the car drove out.

Huo Yan was really happy to see Zhuang Zhoucheng, but she felt that Zhuang Zhoucheng was becoming more and more distant.

How could he have been distracted when he was with her before?

Now when we meet face to face, he seems dazed today.

Women are sensitive. Even the dumbest person can sense when someone who cares about you suddenly changes.

Zhuang Zhoucheng has begun to be perfunctory towards her.

Huo Yan felt very uncomfortable and didn't know why it turned out like this. She never thought that Zhuang Zhoucheng would get tired of her one day.

The thing I was most worried about happened. I had tried every possible means to avoid going with him because I was afraid that his love would not last.

If he doesn't want her, then what does she have left?

The car drove into the Zhuang family compound. Zhuang Zhoucheng got out of the car with Huo Yan's textbook and opened the front door, but Huo Yan sat there motionless.

"Not coming down?" Zhuang Zhoucheng said.

"Oh……"

Huo Yan got out of the car. The little guy stood in front of the tall man, looked up at him, and stared at him with his eyes wide open.

Zhuang Zhoucheng gently placed his palm against her pale face, "What's wrong? You were talking and laughing just now."

"No."

Huo Yan bit his tongue and shook his head.

Zhuang Zhoucheng held her hand and pulled her into the house.

Huo Yan followed behind him and asked in a low voice:

"Zhuang Zhoucheng, do you not like me as much as before?"

Zhuang Zhoucheng stopped and looked back at her, "What are you thinking about again?"

"Zhuang Zhoucheng, Qian Ziang and I are just ordinary friends, the kind of friends you can talk to. We are not what you think." Huo Yan said seriously.

She could understand why he left her in a rage that day. In fact, it was because he cared about her, but it made her feel embarrassed at the time, so she was angry.

Zhuang Zhoucheng frowned, "Why are you talking about him?"

Apparently, this name is not so popular among me.

"Then...you can't be angry anymore." Huo Yan shook his hand and said.

Zhuang Zhoucheng looked at Huo Yan and wanted to ignore her for a few days, but he couldn't control the emotions welling up in his heart. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her gently.

"Don't overthink it, ok?"

Huo Yan nodded. In fact, she had read the newspaper in the morning. Because he had misunderstood her once, she was willing to believe him this time, even without any explanation.

She didn’t take the previous incident with Miss Xu seriously, but this time, it was the eldest lady of the Xu family, the woman she had always been a little afraid of.

She could look down on Miss Xu Er, but she felt a little insecure in front of Miss Xu Da.

She was a serious beauty, the most famous lady in the capital. To be honest, it was harmonious for such a beauty to stand next to Zhuang Zhoucheng.

So, the girl felt a little inferior.

Why hasn’t the eldest daughter of the Xu family gotten married yet?

You're already over thirty, okay?

Zhuang Zhoucheng worked at night, and Huo Yan sat opposite him with a textbook in her arms, staying up late with him.

Zhuang Zhoucheng glanced at the little guy who was clinging to him, smiled, and continued working at his desk.

Huo Yan lay on the table, his eyes almost closed. Zhuang Zhoucheng didn't even raise his eyes and whispered:

"If you're tired, go to sleep. Don't try to hold on."

"not sleepy."

As soon as Zhuang Zhoucheng spoke, Huo Yan regained consciousness, sat up straight, rubbed his eyes, and continued.
