Chapter 73

When Quan Zhilong woke up, it was dark all around him. He subconsciously touched the place nearby, but when he didn't touch anyone's head, he woke up instantly. He turned on the light in a daze and took a while to adjust to the situation. It took him a while to realize where he was.

When I turned on my phone, I saw a string of calls from the company, all filled with messages from the president and staff.

He ignored all that and called Cheng Shangen first.

"Hello? Are you awake?" Cheng Shangen answered the phone softly.

Quan Zhilong's voice was hoarse as if he had just woken up: "Well, where have you been?"

"Are you hungry? I bought some food and will cook for you when I get back." Cheng Shangen said in a clear voice.

Quan Zhilong also smiled: "Xiao En really wants to make soup for me~~~Well, then I will wait for you to come back~"

After hanging up the phone, Quan Zhilong returned the president's call. Although he didn't know the specific incident, he must have been reported in the news, which was why he made so many calls.

"Hey, why are you calling me so late? Have you been to China?" Yang Ju answered the phone with a somewhat unfriendly tone.

Quan Zhilong said politely and coldly: "Oh, I was sleeping just now, President Nim, Wei?"

"Did you go to China to find your girlfriend? He was photographed." Yang Ju said.

Quan Zhilong's emotions fluctuated: "Mo?!"

"You followed me all the way from Korea to China. Once the photos are sent out, no one will think that you are just ordinary friends." Yang Ju said again, obviously he had already seen the photos.

Yang Ju smiled: "This time the reporter was quite generous, asking for 20 million RMB, which is nearly 2 billion won. It turns out that they know that news about you two dating can sell for a lot of money."

Quan Zhilong closed his eyes and said, "So, President Nim, what are you going to do?"

Yang Ju: "I originally planned to just handle it calmly like usual."

Quan Zhilong interrupted, "Ani, I want to make it public. If she is willing, I will make it public."

Yang Ju didn't care about what he said. He smiled and said, "Zhilong, it seems that your girlfriend doesn't want to make it public. The other company has already bought the photos and informed us."

Quan Zhilong's head was buzzing: "Mo? Did you buy it?"

Yang Ju was very happy to save a lot of money: "Well, we didn't discuss it when we bought it, but we told them after the purchase. It's true that Chinese companies have great financial resources."

"Come back quickly after you meet them. You know you can't stay that long due to your work schedule." Yang Ju reminded them. He didn't mind Quan Zhilong and Cheng Shangen dating at all. There were also great benefits for these two people to be in a relationship.

Quan Zhilong responded and hung up the phone. He was still a little confused. Xiaoen was still awake, which meant that she knew about it a long time ago.

Unilaterally buying the photos means that you don't want to make them public...

I can’t describe how I feel. Although I can certainly understand why this matter was not made public, I still seem a little aggrieved, the aggrieved feeling of not being made public.

Cheng Shangen didn't run too far and didn't buy a lot of food.

"Oppa~ I bought you some snacks first. Eat some if you're hungry. I might be a little slow." Cheng Shangen put the bag on the table and said.

Quan Zhilong also came out from inside. Looking at Cheng Shangen's sweet smile at him with an uncertain expression, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

He replied calmly: "Yeah."

Procedure

Sean didn't notice anything wrong and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Quan Zhilong was a little annoyed, but he was annoyed with himself. In fact, he had no right to say anything. If she were to make public the impact she had suffered, she would have more concerns. It was easy to guess that the reason why she bought the photos without saying a word was for herself. She said she didn't care about that.

In fact, before Cheng Shangen, he had dated many girlfriends, but none of them were made public. Many of them were photographed, but later they were bought out by the company or left to reporters to release public relations and they never responded.

How should I put it? As the central figure of the team, he is well aware that the announcement of his relationship will have a significant impact on the group, so he generally has no opinion on the company's public relations.

But Cheng Shangen is different. She doesn't like hiding the relationship, where she is obviously in love but can only deny it. She doesn't want her to dislike it.

"Xiao En." Quan Zhilong walked into the kitchen and hugged Cheng Shangen from behind when he saw her busy.

Cheng Shangen sighed: "Baby, you know, it's not very romantic to hug the heroine from behind while she's cooking like in Korean dramas, and she will find you annoying! You'll disturb her cooking."

Quan Zhilong couldn't help laughing, but he didn't let go: "Did your company buy the photos of us?"

Although Cheng Shangen's movements were somewhat restricted, she did not stop. She responded, "Yeah."

Quan Zhilong let go of her and reached out to play with her hair: "Wei? Don't you want to be open with me?"

Cheng Shangen shook her head and tried to shake him off: "Ani, how can you be exposed to be in a relationship while you are at an event?"

Quan Zhilong pursed his lips and turned her to face him: "Xiao En, I want to be open with you. I want to give you everything you want."

"Be good, I don't mind. Can you just go watch TV before discussing this?" Cheng Shangen was helpless: "You'll be hungry for a long time like this."

Quan Zhilong was kicked out of the kitchen. This guy could even make the garlic fly away when he was pounding it. He really couldn't help at all in the kitchen.

Cheng Shangen did her best to cook the meal. She usually made more desserts, so at least she had some cooking skills, so it was not difficult for her to make these now.

"Would you like to try it?" She was still a little nervous. If it didn't taste good, then Quan Zhilong would have made a whole trip and still not be able to eat well.

Quan Zhilong took a bite obediently with an uncertain expression.

Cheng Shangen looked a little worried at this expression: "If it doesn't taste good, don't force it, we can just order it again."

"It's delicious." Quan Zhilong said quickly: "Xiao En's cooking is delicious no matter what."

Cheng Shangen tasted it himself and felt relieved. It tasted pretty good.

It’s just that something’s not right with Kwon Ji-ryong, and he’s not as funny as usual.

After dinner, the two of them huddled together to watch TV. When they saw something funny, only Cheng Shangen laughed. Quan Zhilong, who had a very low sense of humor, didn't even laugh!

Cheng Shangen secretly glanced at his face. He seemed to be out of sorts, with a blank look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

She poked his face and leaned closer to him: "Wei?"

Quan Zhilong finally came back to his senses: "Oh? Ah, nothing."

Cheng Shangen didn't believe him. She could guess: "Is it my behavior that made you feel something was wrong?"

? Oppa, do you really want to be open with me? ”

Quan Zhilong was silent for a moment, and then said, "Xiao En, have you ever thought about breaking up?"

Breaking up is a word that the two of them rarely mention. To be honest, it was not Kwon Ji-yong's previous relationship style for the two of them to stay together so peacefully and rarely quarrel. He got bored quickly. Cheng Shangen was an exception. He was the woman he still wanted to marry after such a long time.

Cheng Shangen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and teased: "Why? It seems that Oppa has thought about it."

Quan Zhilong did not hide it: "Yes, I thought about it."

Now Cheng Shangen couldn't laugh anymore. He actually really thought about it and said it so openly?

A woman changes her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. Just now she was snuggling in his arms sweetly as if she had no bones, but now her body straightened up immediately.

Quan Zhilong knew that she had misunderstood, and quickly said, "Sometimes when I'm quiet and you're not around, I start to think about random things. Now I can't seem to give you the happiness you want. You want to be able to walk down the street holding hands openly, not caring about the cameras, and be able to admit it generously when asked by reporters. I can't seem to give you these before."

"But even so, I still selfishly want you to adapt to the life of hiding from me. I don't want to be separated from you at all." Quan Zhilong leaned over and hugged her.

Cheng Shangen didn't struggle, and Quan Zhilong said, "Do you know when I wanted to break up the most?"

Cheng Shangen rolled his eyes to the sky. What's going on? Are you proudly talking about your experience of wanting to break up? She was unhappy and didn't want him to hug her.

Quan Zhilong held her tightly, and her struggle was completely useless: "It was when you were sick and I was not around."

Cheng Shangen froze in her struggle. In fact, she seldom got sick. There were a few times when she had a fever, a cold, or menstrual cramps, and Quan Zhilong was not around. Once, her fever was serious enough that she had to be hospitalized. She didn't like to tell her family when she was sick, but she did like to call Quan Zhilong to act coquettishly at those times.

"Every time you were sick, you felt so pitiful but I couldn't be with you. I even had a schedule the next moment and couldn't answer your phone calls properly. I was obviously worried that my Xiaoen was sick, but I still had to smile happily and tell funny stories when I was on variety shows. But my Xiaoen was sick, and I didn't feel like laughing at all." Kwon Ji-yong rubbed her neck.

"At that time, I was thinking if it would be better for Xiao En to find someone else, someone who could stay with you when you were sick, and someone like that could naturally accompany you shopping openly, and wouldn't need to be sneaky to see you." Quan Zhilong laughed, "But I was really too selfish. The thought of you being with another man made me jealous and crazy. If that time really came, I was afraid that I would harass you."

"Xiao En and I are already tired of being together, and I don't want you to compromise with me anymore." Quan Zhilong said sincerely.

Cheng Shangen thought it was funny, but she wasn't moved by the sentimentality at all: "How do you think I'm tired?"

"You are such a bad person. How can you have so little confidence in us? Haha, yet you still talk about marriage every day. Are you trying to deceive the feelings of an ignorant girl like me?! That's too much!!!" Cheng Shangen pulled his hair, looking very unhappy.

Quan Zhilong let her pull him and did not forget to defend himself: "Ani,

Every time I talk about getting married, I really want to marry Xiao En, and it can be tomorrow. ”

Cheng Shangen pouted: "I won't wrong myself. I am with Quan Zhilongxi because I like you."

"Fortunately you said these words now. If you keep it to yourself and break up with me because of this, then I will!!!!!!" Cheng Shangen got angry just thinking about it. If she really broke up with me for this reason for no reason in the future, she would be so mad that she would die.

Quan Zhilong covered her mouth: "Don't say it!"

Cheng Shangen broke free from his hand and deliberately said, "I change boyfriends every month, and I have to make them public. No matter where Quan Zhilong is, I have to let you know who I'm with this month, who I'm with next month, and who I'm with the month after next!!!"

"My boyfriend can be anyone but he won't be Quan Zhilong! Humph!!!" Cheng Shangen said viciously.

"Ah, what?" Quan Zhilong felt depressed just thinking about it. She could really do such a thing. At that time, he estimated that he would conduct research on a man every month.

Cheng Shangen coughed twice and said, "We haven't done that yet. Don't hold me so tightly. I can't breathe."

Quan Zhilong said pitifully: "Xiao En."

Cheng Shangen pinched his face and said, "I did buy the photo because I didn't want to embarrass you, but I really didn't wrong myself. None of that matters when I'm with you."

Quan Zhilong kissed her forehead lightly: "Take me to meet your parents during the New Year, okay? Then we will go public."

It’s not that he didn’t respond, nor was it that he had to make it public because he was photographed by reporters. Instead, he took the initiative and proudly made the relationship public.

Cheng Shangen: "...Can you take it slow?"

Quan Zhilong's mood was down again: "Are you!!!"

The question was interrupted before it was even uttered.

"Be good, stop thinking about it. The New Year isn't far away. If there's only so much time left, then the 20 million isn't worth it, right?" Cheng Shangen felt very distressed. Since the 20 million would have to be made public sooner or later... Alas.

Quan Zhilong's face darkened: "Ah! Cheng Shangen!"

"Oppa, please listen to my explanation. I really don't care about the money. It doesn't matter whether there is money or not. I just like the pleasure and excitement of an underground relationship." Cheng Shangen argued.

Quan Zhilong couldn't help laughing: "Yeah, Oppa, can I give it to you?"

Cheng Shangen was amused: "Is this true? Can this be reimbursed?"

Quan Zhilong nodded: "Well, but you have to pay something."

Cheng Shangen raised his eyebrows at him ambiguously: "The key is that you dare not move even if I give it now."

As expected, Quan Zhilong gritted his teeth and said, "Cheng Shangen, do you think a woman's period lasts for a month? Sooner or later, you will be uncomfortable."

Anyway, it’s not now, Cheng Shangen is fearless: "Lululu."

Quan Zhilong had no choice but to hug her and kiss her. At this time, he could only hug and kiss her.

Cheng Shangen was kissed obediently, and then nestled in his arms obediently: "Oppa, I used to think that I would not like anything that was not my style and could not meet my requirements. After meeting you, I found that as long as it was you, all my previous requirements were nothing."

"So, say hello~" Cheng Shangen made a heart shape with her hands to him sweetly.

Quan Zhilong's heart was warmed when he saw this: "Hey, Xiaoen, you know it's not allowed, so don't seduce me now!"

When leaving the next day, Quan Zhilong was reluctant to go out. He looked back every few steps and then ran back again.

"Well, Quan Zhilongxi, I'm not saying anything, but if you don't leave now, the plane will be leaving." Cheng Shangen kindly reminded him. This time, she couldn't even send him to the airport.

Quan Zhilong held her hand and said, "When will your work end? When will you come back with me?"

Cheng Shangen held his forehead with his hand. He had asked this question almost ten times.

"I will come to see you soon. I haven't seen Blue for a long time." Cheng Shangen touched his head.

"What blue are you talking about? You must be going there to see me." Quan Zhilong was very dissatisfied. Why did this guy talk about blueblue all the time!

Lou Zilin was waiting outside obediently. She didn't know why Quan Zhilong was so slow. She didn't dare to say anything or ask.

After much difficulty, the person finally came out. His expression was completely different from when he faced Cheng Shangen in the house just now. At that time, his expression was so pitiful, but now his face was frozen.

Well, now I can’t even say the words I had prepared to ask for your autograph. I’ll probably ask for your autograph next time. Anyway, I’m sure we’ll have many more chances to meet in the future.
