Chapter 412 The Secret That Cannot Be Told to Her
Huo Yan came downstairs reluctantly. Zhuang Zhoucheng looked at her coldly and asked:
"Didn't you check the time?"
"Five minutes left."
Huo Yan spoke in a muffled voice, paused, and then said:
"At worst, I can just skip the meal."
Zhuang Zhoucheng's eyes darkened. She is still angry, right?
"Zhuang Zhoucheng..."
Huo Yan wanted to ask him something, but paused and swallowed it back.
If you ask him this question, he will definitely lose face again.
Huo Yantou buried his cigarette, sat down beside him, and whispered:
"Can I go find Ahri? I brought her a gift."
"I have something to do in the afternoon. I'll go find your friend tomorrow, okay?" Zhuang Zhoucheng whispered.
Huo Yan turned to look at him. Zhuang Zhoucheng had no expression on his face and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or sad.
"What's going on? Is it related to me?"
Huo Yan lay beside Zhuang Zhoucheng, leaned his head forward, his eyes rolled and his eyes were full of ripples.
Zhuang Zhoucheng turned slightly to face Huo Yan, raised his hand and pinched her face, whispering:
"You have to tell your father in person about the engagement. This is a big deal for us, we can't just tell it to ourselves."
Huo Yan was stunned immediately, his expression completely frozen.
"I... I feel a little sleepy. Let's not go today. Can we go in a few days? I'm feeling a little uncomfortable..."
Huo Yan's face was pale, his voice was soft, and he seemed very unconfident.
Although Dad hasn't woken up yet, he can hear it.
Moreover, she firmly believed that her father would wake up.
Zhuang Zhoucheng took Huo Yan's hand and asked in a low voice:
"You don't want to go, do you? You want to escape?"
"No, no, no..."
Huo Yan shouted out hastily, paused, took a deep breath, and said sullenly:
"Whatever, I'll listen to you."
She buried her head in Zhuang Zhoucheng's arms and grabbed his clothes with her hands.
"I just think it's a bit too early, Zhuang Zhoucheng. Have you really made up your mind? I'm nothing, I can't do anything, and I often cause you trouble. Are you really determined to get engaged to me? You really won't dislike me?" Huo Yan's face was pressed against his chest, and his voice sounded a little muffled.
Zhuang Zhoucheng whispered:
"You are a diamond in the rough."
From her own perspective, she is more than worthy of him.
After all, she had been with him since she was a child.
When Huo Yan heard Zhuang Zhoucheng's words, she suddenly looked up at him. This was the first time he praised her so positively.
Somewhat delighted, she smiled at him and said:
"Well, thank you for your approval."
She put her hands around his neck and moved her mouth closer.
As long as she is happy, anything is fine.
Zhuang Zhoucheng took Huo Yan to the hospital in the afternoon.
Zhuang Zhoucheng had seen her father. Although this hospital was arranged by Feng Jie through his connections, Zhuang Zhoucheng had replaced the entire team that was treating her father.
After Zhuang Zhoucheng met Huo Yan's father, the attending physician told Zhuang Zhoucheng about the patient's condition in private.
Maybe, it won’t be delayed for much longer.
When he jumped from the building, he was already declared brain dead. The fact that he was able to hang on for so long was not without the credit of the team.
In fact, Guomu had already made a judgment about Huo Yan's father's situation.
The two of them didn't take action because it didn't make much sense.
When Zhuang Zhoucheng went to see Huo Yan's father again, he confessed something to Huo Yan's father behind Huo Yan's back.
"I once promised to help Huo Yan rescue her brother. But I must be honest with you. Brother Huo Yan is gone."
Not long after he was imprisoned, he died. It was a malicious incident, but the perpetrator was a death row inmate. More than a dozen people died in that incident.
Brother Huo Yan is among them.
Zhuang Zhoucheng knew about this matter half a year ago.
I haven't found a suitable opportunity to tell Huo Yan.
Before she met him, her family had already experienced a great change: the company went bankrupt, her father jumped from a building, and her brother was imprisoned. She alone shouldered the hope of living.
However, my mother passed away, my father did not live long, and my brother left before my mother.
Huo Yan has no direct blood relatives.
Zhuang Zhoucheng looked at Huo Yan's father silently and promised that he would protect Huo Yan as if he were his own eyes.
Huo Yan walked back staggeringly.
I heard Zhuang Zhoucheng's oath outside the ward door.
After he finished speaking, Huo Yan walked in.
"My dad heard it."
When Huo Yan spoke, Zhuang Zhoucheng was visibly taken aback. He lowered his eyes to look at Huo Yan, wondering how much she had heard.
"You can hear it."
Zhuang Zhoucheng spoke calmly, observing her the whole time.
Based on Zhuang Zhoucheng's understanding of Huo Yan, she would not be able to change her character of showing all her emotions in public within three to five years.
So, Zhuang Zhoucheng breathed a sigh of relief.
She had not heard that her brother was gone.
Zhuang Zhoucheng took Huo Yan's hand and whispered:
"Let's go then."
"Hmm."
Huo Yan actually didn't want to get engaged so soon. Meeting Zhuang Zhoucheng was both her fortune and misfortune.
He helped her a lot, but he also made her lose herself.
She didn't know what to do to balance the sense of gain and loss. She felt wronged and unwilling, but she couldn't resist.
It has always been contradictory, it has been like this since the beginning, and it is still contradictory about the same thing now.
On the way back in the car, Huo Yan didn't want to talk much and just played games gloomily.
Zhuang Zhoucheng glanced at the game she was playing and couldn't help but click on the screen. Huo Yan immediately turned to look at him and yelled:
"Look, look, you wasted a bullet and didn't hit it. Can you please stop making trouble?"
Zhuang Zhoucheng raised his eyebrows, suddenly pulled her into his arms, and whispered:
“I’m being disliked.”
His straight nose rubbed against her ears and cheeks, and his voice was slow. She didn't know if it was because of the hot air or something else, but it sounded warm.
"hinder……"
Huo Yan swallowed his words and muttered:
"I didn't say I dislike you, but you're wronging me."
His voice was low and soft, his eyes were staring at his phone, and he didn't pay much attention to the people around him.
Zhuang Zhoucheng smiled, held her chin with his palm, lifted her head up, and chuckled softly:
"The chin is a little round."
The soft and tender touch felt quite good, making him feel itchy inside.
Huo Yan set a new record in one round, then turned to look at Zhuang Zhoucheng, closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and looked unhappy.
"You mean you gained weight, right?"
The tip of her nose was humming, and she looked quite charming when she was angry.
Zhuang Zhoucheng smiled, opened his mouth and bit her lips, and said:
"Being too thin is not good. It makes you sick easily. You should be stronger."
"No! If I gain weight, people will say I'm short and fat. At least I'm still quite thin now, and I look good in summer clothes. If I gain weight, I'll lose all my advantages."
Huo Yan said it seriously. Who doesn't love beauty? Only a fool would believe a man who says it's better for women to gain weight.
But which man doesn't like a slim and beautiful woman?
Zhuang Zhoucheng actually laughed out loud, and his deep laughter swept away the dullness of his time at Jian's house.
He raised his hand and pinched Huo Yan's face, then said with a smile:
"You mind so much?"
Huo Yan looked at Zhuang Zhoucheng with a smile and said:
"You don't mind? Then why do you only eat a little at night? Are you afraid of gaining weight?"
Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.
Zhuang Zhoucheng was choked by Huo Yan and laughed:
"Yes, you're right. But listen carefully to what I'm saying. Get stronger, not fatter. Exercise more. You're too weak."
Huo Yan's eyebrows twitched. Okay, just pretend she didn't say anything.
Continue the game.
When I returned to Kyoto, the little Filipino maid also came with me.
The little Filipino maid arrived in Kyoto at the last moment, because if she came to Kyoto, she had to go through the resignation procedures in the capital, so she came here at the last moment.
The original aunt received a call from Lu Zeng, saying that the little Filipino maid didn't understand a lot of things and asked the aunt to teach her more and also tell her about things in Kyoto.
But the language is not compatible, it's totally irrelevant.
When the maid spoke to Auntie, she got angry:
"You little foreign devil, don't speak foreign words in front of me, I don't understand!"
Auntie is so angry that she fainted.
Neither of them could understand what the other was saying, and they sat on the steps, one on each side, angrily.
After Zhuang Zhoucheng's car entered the villa, the two men stood up and walked into the yard.
"Mr. Zhou, Miss, you are back."
The aunt pushed the little Filipino maid aside, stepped forward and greeted her with a smile.
I originally thought that she would have dinner at the young lady's parents' home before coming back, so she didn't prepare anything. My aunt was a little anxious and didn't know what to say.
Huo Yan was happy to see his aunt.
"When did Auntie come? You weren't here when we left."
Auntie was very pleased with Huo Yan's words. It showed that she had a very high status in the host's family and the hostess liked her very much.
"I just arrived. Mr. Lu asked me to teach this little foreigner, but we can't communicate. I said she didn't understand, and she said I didn't understand." Aunt said with a worried face.
"Oh, yes."
Huo Yan only then remembered, how could his aunt understand what the little Filipino maid said?
Turning to look at Zhuang Zhoucheng:
"How can this be a hindrance?"
Zhuang Zhoucheng raised his hand and rubbed her head. Isn’t this easy to deal with?
Fire one.
The appearance of outsiders in the house was something Zhuang Zhoucheng could not tolerate, and when one became two, the challenge became even greater.
"Go inside first."
Zhuang Zhoucheng grabbed the back of her neck with his big hand and pushed Huo Yan into the house.
