When Xiao Xingyu and Zhang Moyan came out to the main hall, Xiao Weijiang, who had won a fortune, had already become a close friend of Jiang Dazhui, regardless of their age difference.

"Xiao Xingyu!" Jiang Dazhu complained as soon as he saw Xiao Xingyu: "I've been waiting for you for so long, and you just came out so late. Brother, do you have enough energy?"

Xiao Xingyu said unhappily, "Take out the things, I'm leaving!"

"Hey," Jiang Dazhu noticed something was wrong with Xiao Xingyu and looked at Zhang Moyan suspiciously. "Why, Xiao Xingyu didn't perform well, and you gave him a hard time?"

“…”

Zhang Moyan didn't know what expression to make. She subconsciously wanted to say that she and Xiao Xingyu were not in the relationship he thought. However, she accidentally glanced at Xiao Xingyu's unhappy face and felt that Xiao Xingyu would lose face if she said that, so she kept her mouth shut and neither admitted nor denied it.

Huh? Why does she really look like a scumbag?

"Don't talk nonsense," Xiao Weijiang hit Jiang Dazhu imaginarily, "Miss Zhang is not Xingyu's woman, she is Xingyu's bodyguard!"

"Bodyguard?!" Jiang Dazhu chuckled.

Xiao Weijiang said seriously, "It's true, absolutely true."

Jiang Dazhu patted Xiao Weijiang on the shoulder and pointed at Zhang Moyan and Xiao Xingyu with the hand holding the cigarette: "How can this girl's hair look like a bodyguard? Uncle, I can tell you with my sharp eyes that these two are definitely having an affair!"

"Really?" Xiao Weijiang looked at Zhang Moyan with secret speculation.

Zhang Moyan felt like a demon under the magic mirror, unable to hide. Her palms were sweating and she just wanted to leave this place quickly.

Fortunately, she will be back in Shenhai in a few days and will never meet these people again. Let them talk nonsense.

Jiang Dazhu came over and hugged Xiao Xingyu angrily: "It's okay, brother. A momentary slump doesn't mean anything. Just go back and get some sleep. Don't doubt yourself!"

Xiao Xingyu pulled his arm away expressionlessly, glancing at Jiang Dazhu from the side: "Are you polite?"

Jiang Dazhu smiled without saying anything, waved to his younger brother beside him, and the younger brother brought over a box about one foot long.

Xiao Xingyu took the box, opened it and took a look, then closed it again, tucked it under his arm and waved to Jiang Dazhu: "Thanks!"

When they got to the door, Xiao Weijiang insisted on treating Xiao Xingyu and Zhang Moyan to a meal, but Xiao Xingyu waved his hand and refused: "Uncle, I appreciate your kindness, but we still have to keep our distance. If someone sees us and tells Grandpa, I'll be in big trouble."

Xiao Weijiang's enthusiasm suddenly died down. Without saying anything else, he said goodbye to them and left.

Zhang Moyan looked at Xiao Weijiang's dejected back and couldn't help wondering what big mistake he had made in the past that made Xiao Guotao want the whole family to break off relations with him, and even his own son couldn't forgive him.

Before she knew it, Zhang Moyan followed Xiao Xingyu to his car.

Xiao Xingyu called out "Hey!" and threw the car keys to her: "You drive!"

Zhang Moyan took the car keys, a little confused.

Xiao Xingyu opened the car door and got into the back seat without saying anything: "A bodyguard should act like a bodyguard. How can the employer drive the car while the bodyguard sits in the passenger seat all day long!"

Someone has a clear distinction between love and hate, and his unhappiness is written on his face. His address has also changed from "Mo Yan" to "Hey".

"Okay, you take a good rest in the back."

Xiao Xingyu didn't respond.

Zhang Moyan went to the driver's seat, opened the door, started the car, took a moment to adjust the navigation to the Xiao family's address, fastened his seat belt, turned around and said to the person behind him, "Teacher Xiao, we..."

Halfway through his words, he saw Xiao Xingyu had fallen asleep in the back seat, and the box containing the Langhong Guanyin bottle was carefully placed inside against the backrest.

He was truly exhausted, and a numbing feeling welled up within him. Zhang Moyan shifted the car into gear, stepped on the accelerator, and drove off.

Putting aside Li Tengfei's suggestion, as for herself, if she had to pick someone from the Xiao family to interview, she would naturally choose Xiao Xingyu.

There are so many things about him that attract people: his looks, talent, personality, and mystery. Most people can explore him as long as he has one of these qualities. He combines all these aspects into one, making him a really good character in the story.

Is it still possible to persuade him to do an exclusive interview with "Xinhuo"?

He seems to be very righteous now!

The ringing of a cell phone interrupted Zhang Moyan's thoughts. It was Xiao Xingyu's phone. The ringtone was not very loud. The phone kept ringing until it was hung up, but he didn't answer it because he was sleeping soundly.

Just when Zhang Moyan was thankful that the call didn't wake Xiao Xingyu up, the ringtone rang again. She guessed that the caller was someone who was persistent, so she had to shout out to Xiao Xingyu: "Teacher Xiao, Teacher Xiao, your phone is ringing!"

Xiao Xingyu immediately sat up in a daze. When he heard the sound of his cell phone, he looked around for it. Finally, he remembered and took it out from his trouser pocket.

He looked at the caller ID, raised his eyes, glanced at Zhang Moyan who was driving through the rearview mirror, and then answered the phone.

"Hello, Zhou Xia?"

Hearing that it was Zhou Xia calling, Zhang Moyan couldn't help but listen carefully.

Although she had only been in Ruzhou for a few days, Zhou Xia had already left a lasting impression on her. She practically fulfilled every imaginable ideal of a woman. At one point, she even thought, when she returned to Shenhai, she'd try to emulate Zhou Xia. She'd buy high-end clothes, apply exquisite makeup, smile more often, and be more considerate of others. Perhaps then, she, too, would become a woman everyone liked.

Zhou Xia's voice came from the phone, but it was not clear. After a while, Xiao Xingyu said, "Oh, are we going to your house for dinner tonight? ... Oh, you are going to make Australian lobster baked rice, and something else... Wagyu sukiyaki... That sounds good... Will your parents come too? I haven't seen them for a long time... Okay, I'll be there at 6:30 in the evening... Okay, thank you for your hard work!"

After hanging up the phone, the car stopped at an intersection waiting for the red light. Xiao Xingyu turned off the phone and subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror.

He bumped into Zhang Moyan's eyes looking at him in the rearview mirror.

The moment their eyes met, they immediately looked away.

The air was quiet for a moment, and Zhang Moyan was the first to break the strange atmosphere: "Will Zhou Xia invite you to dinner tonight?"

"Hmm--" Xiao Xingyu leaned closer to the back of the seat and deliberately stretched out the word "hmm".

Zhang Moyan said while steering, "Zhou Xia's cooking skills must be amazing. She can even make restaurant dishes at home!"

Xiao Xingyu was silent for a moment, then asked, "What's not great about her?"

Zhang Moyan was choked. It seemed that someone was still angry, so she smiled and said nothing to avoid making more mistakes.

The carriage fell silent again. Just when Zhang Moyan thought Xiao Xingyu had fallen asleep, his voice trailed off, "Send me to Zhou Xia's house tonight."

"oh."

It is indeed the bodyguard's duty to be his employer's driver.
