Chapter 48 Choose Qi Yanxue or Zhou Si'an

As his memory returned, Zhu Wendong heard Qi Yanxue sneer, and his gaze fell back to the sea level.

Zhu Wendong pursed her lips and looked up at his neat and clean profile: "You haven't finished telling the truth yesterday."

"I forgot." Qi Yanxue looked as if he didn't remember this at all, and it didn't seem fake.

Zhu Wendong had no choice but to give up. Perhaps Qi Yanxue's sudden appearance was just a coincidence.

-

Before the cruise ship docked, Zhu Wendong did not forget the colorful candy he had been longing for.

She went to the first-floor dining area and looked around but couldn't find the packaged candy.

Could it be that Qi Yanxue lied to her?

Just before Zhu Wendong was about to give up, a waiter came up with an exquisite iron box, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time, and greeted her respectfully.

"Hello, you are the lucky star on the ship today, this is for free."

Zhu Wendong lowered his head, saw that it was the packaging of the colorful candy, and asked, "Give it to me? Why?"

And what are the criteria for Lucky Star’s judgment?

Could it be that the person who was searching so hard in the dining area was the one?

The waiter explained, "The first person to enter the dining area today is the chosen lucky star. May everything go well for you and may good luck always be with you."

Zhu Wendong looked around, not knowing whether it was because they were about to dock or for some other reason, but she was the only one in the huge dining area.

She took the tin box doubtfully and said thank you.

Zhu Wendong turned and left the dining area, opened the iron box and took a look. The whole box was full of colorful candies, sparkling.

It was enough to last her two months.

She couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.

The discontinued candy was given to her for free. She was indeed lucky today.

-

In this unknown corner, the waiter spoke to the man in front of him who had a gentle and noble temperament and a cold and casual face.

"Sir, as you instructed, I have handed the iron box to the girl in the turtleneck shirt, and I have said the words you requested."

"Looking at her expression, she probably has no doubts."

Qi Yanxue didn't even raise his eyes, sitting on the deck and watching the sea leisurely. When the conversation came to an end, he handed over a letter of recommendation.

"Take this paper and report to Qi Group."

The waitress took it with great joy. She had never thought that just by helping to pass the box, she could become an employee of Qi Group. She was so happy that she almost died.

"Sir, is there anything else you need my help with?"

Qi Yanxue's expression was calm: "No, it's okay."

-

The cruise ship docked and the police took the racer away in front of everyone. The racer's face was bruised and swollen, and he no longer looked like a human being.

Zhu Wendong took his eyes off him, got off the cruise ship and walked to the roadside, ready to take a taxi back to Biesong.

After two days of relaxation, I have to hurry back to revise the manuscript.

It is not easy to get a taxi on the coast, and the taxi app shows that the waiting time is as long as one hour.

The Cullinan had been repainted at the repair shop, but she had never had time to pick it up.

Now she apologized for her procrastination, saying that it was really inconvenient to do anything without a car.

Zhu Wendong walked along the shore for a while, trying to get a taxi in this way, but to no avail.

Suddenly, a car stopped beside me.

Zhou Si'an sat in the driver's seat and tilted his head towards her: "It's hard to get a taxi around here, let me take you."

Zhu Wendong pursed his lips and refused: "It's too much trouble for you, I'd better wait for the car."

"It's no problem, and I'm on my way," Zhou Si'an reminded her, "I'm just about to talk to that client near your neighborhood about something, come up."

That's exactly what happened last time.

Zhu Wendong couldn't refuse anymore and was about to go forward and open his car door.

“Beep—”

Suddenly, a shrill car horn sounded from behind.

Zhu Wendong covered his ears, stopped pulling the door and looked over.

It was the familiar Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Qi Yanxue sat in the driver's seat, his deep eyes staring at her, revealing the desire for control that Zhu Wendong was familiar with.

This look was both familiar and unfamiliar to her, because it had often appeared in the past.

That was Qi Yanxue's almost crazy desire to control her, and it was the flaw beneath his gentle and cold mask.

——"Qi Yanxue might still like you."

Is it like or hate?

Zhu Wendong suddenly wanted to know the answer, so when Qi Yanxue got out of the car and walked towards him.

She took two steps toward him, so slight they were barely noticeable.

Zhou Si'an saw it all. He got out of the car, stood beside Zhu Wendong, and said to Qi Yanxue expressionlessly, "What's up?"

Silent smoke of gunpowder quickly spread between the two people.

This is a battlefield that only they know about.

They never openly admit it, but both of them know it.

Qi Yanxue glanced at him casually, then turned back to Zhu Wendong. He opened his thin lips and suddenly said, "Choose him, or choose me."

Zhu Wendong: “?”

Did you just miss a step?

Why doesn't she understand?

Zhu Wendong was confused and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

"Come back with me and don't relax." Qi Yanxue had no intention of explaining at all and made her choice on her own.

"Follow me." He said, turned and left.

Zhu Wendong subconsciously followed his footsteps, but his wrist was grabbed by someone.

A strange breath approached, and she frowned uncomfortably and tried to break away.

Realizing his offense, Zhou Si'an withdrew his hand and said softly, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask you, did you go with him voluntarily?"

The man who was walking away paused, turned around and stared at her with his deep eyes.

It seemed as if her answer meant that she was unwilling and that even if the sky fell, she had to ride in his car today.

Before she could answer, Qi Yanxue reminded her, "Donggua is still at the Lu family's old house. Do you want to leave?"

Only then did Zhu Wendong react. He frowned and said to Zhou Si'an absentmindedly, "Thank you for your kindness. I'll be leaving first."

Zhou Si'an smiled calmly and said, "Call me if you have anything."

Zhu Wendong responded, and when she turned around, the owner of the phantom resumed her pace and sat straight into the passenger seat.

Zhou Si'an's eyes followed her back the whole time. When he noticed a hostile gaze, he turned his head to look.

Qi Yanxue stopped halfway in opening the car door and looked at him nonchalantly with gloomy eyes.

Finally, Zhou Si'an saw the corners of his mouth curled up lazily, and a hint of imperceptible joy seemed to flash across his face.

Zhou Sian withdrew his gaze and sat back in the car. After a long time, when the Phantom disappeared from his sight, he took the next step.

He dialed a number.

"Mom, go and discuss the marriage with the Zhu family."

"Si'an, didn't you say you liked the girl and wanted to take things slowly? What's going on now?"

Zhou Si'an felt empty inside and said dejectedly, "Mom, if you take it any longer, I'm afraid I won't have any chance at all."

Mrs. Zhou didn't know what was going on, but she respected his opinion and agreed with him, "Okay, I'll go talk to the Zhu family in a couple of days. Wen Dong's stepfather has always been interested in a marriage, so it shouldn't be difficult to negotiate."

"But Mom has to give you a piece of advice. Wen Dong is a good kid, but I can tell she doesn't like you. A few days ago, I heard her mother say she has an ex-boyfriend she can't forget. You have to be prepared."

Zhou Si'an glanced at the box of candies on the back seat that had not been given away, and said "hmm" in a very indifferent tone, so indifferent that it almost melted into the cold and lonely air.
