Zhong Xuyang walked towards them unhurriedly. His broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs were one of the reasons why Xiao Yao fell in love with him.
Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, and only came to her senses when Zhong Xuyang walked to the car. She immediately pushed open the car door and walked away quickly in the opposite direction.
Zhong Xuyang stared blankly at Xiao Yao's retreating figure, then asked Xiao Yao, who had just gotten out of the driver's seat,
What's wrong with her?
"I'll just avoid you."
Why is she avoiding me?
I hate you.
Zhong Xuyang smiled, finding the two siblings quite adorable.
He strode after him, and Xiao Yao called out from behind, "The production line is behind us."
Zhong Xuyang really came today to check out the production line with him.
Zhong Xuyang didn't stop walking. "It's dangerous for Xiao Yao to run around alone. I'll go and take her there."
"She knows this place much better than you do."
“There’s construction going on here, so danger and familiarity don’t matter.” With that, he quickened his pace.
Xiao Yao looked at Zhong Xuyang's anxious back, and saw how worried he was about Xiao Yao, just like he was worried about a child. He could only smile helplessly.
With Zhong Xuyang in this state, how could Xiao Yao possibly escape?
Zhong Xuyang's long legs quickly caught up with her, and he grabbed Xiao Yao's arm, saying, "You've gone the wrong way, the production line is over there."
He took the initiative to pave the steps for her first.
Xiao Yao was stunned. She didn't know why she was running away. She was startled when she saw Zhong Xuyang standing by her car door and instinctively ran away.
She naturally followed Zhong Xuyang's lead and said, "Oh, I haven't been back to the factory in so long, I don't even know the way anymore."
Zhong Xuyang smiled and didn't expose her, "Let's go, it's dangerous to be working in the factory right now, come with me."
He pulled her back, and when she wasn't looking, he quietly slid his hand down and took her hand.
"Why did you come here?" Xiao Yao asked.
This was the first time she had initiated a conversation with him since their breakup. Zhong Xuyang was overjoyed, but afraid that showing it would embarrass her, he could only suppress the smile on his lips and say calmly, "I also invested in this production line, so of course I had to come and take a look."
He had originally planned to go shopping with his mother before coming over, but when Xiao Yao told him that Xiao Yao was also going to the factory, he immediately abandoned Ms. Shen, and was thus nagged by her several times.
Xiao Yao pouted, thinking he had come because of her.
"You used to work here. Where is the office building?" Zhong Xuyang asked, looking around.
Xiao Yao pointed behind her, "It's right where I just walked." Looking at the familiar and historic buildings, she said with some emotion, "I not only work here, but I spent more time in this factory than at home when I was a child."
The factory was built the year after she and Xiao Yao were born. At that time, their parents were busy and didn't have time to take care of them, so they would bring her and Xiao Yao to the factory to work and take care of them at the same time. They grew up in the factory.
"When I was a child, I felt that our family's factory was like a fairy tale world. The snacks produced were piled up like small mountains, and we could open the factory whenever we wanted to eat them. So I loved coming to the factory when I was a child."
Zhong Xuyang looked at her bright eyes as she recalled her childhood and smiled gently, "Then you are much happier than me. Zhongxu only has copper, iron and all kinds of metals. The production workshop is full of oil stains and welding sparks. It's not fun at all."
"Oh? Is that so? I've never been to a machine factory before."
"Whenever you want to go, I can take you to Zhongxu to have a look."
"Is Zhongxu much bigger than Xiaoxiao?"
"In terms of area, it is larger than your factory."
The two started chatting without realizing it, and walked all the way to the production line construction site.
Xiao Yao was still laughing as she listened to Zhong Xuyang talk about the fun things at their factory when she suddenly felt a gaze on her. Turning her head, she saw Xiao Yao staring at their hands in surprise.
She looked down and realized that their hands were clasped together, and they had been holding hands all the way. She quickly broke free from Zhong Xuyang's grasp.
Zhong Xuyang was speaking enthusiastically when she suddenly broke free, startling him. Following her gaze, he saw Xiao Yao's slightly mocking look.
"Are you two here to date?" Xiao Yao couldn't help but tease.
Xiao Yao immediately bristled, "Brother!"
Xiao Yao was about to continue joking when Zhong Xuyang interrupted him, "When is this construction expected to finish?"
Xiao Yao knew that Zhong Xuyang was deliberately changing the subject, so he smiled and reluctantly let them off the hook, saying, "About a month."
Xiao Yao followed behind the two, watching Zhong Xuyang become serious as he talked about work with the construction team boss. This was the first time she had seen Zhong Xuyang working.
He had one hand in his pocket, his brow slightly furrowed. When he spoke to people, he habitually looked them in the eye, focused yet imposing, exuding the charisma of a mature man.
Zhong Xuyang turned around and saw Xiao Yao staring at them in a daze. He thought she was bored, so he gave Xiao Yao a look and walked towards her.
"Finished talking?" Xiao Yao asked as he walked over.
"Well, I just want to talk about some things to pay attention to during construction."
Looking at the construction site, which seemed to be a huge project, Xiao Yao asked the question she had always wanted to ask Zhong Xuyang, "You invested so much money in my brother, aren't you afraid of losing money?"
Zhong Xuyang was taken aback. "Why do you ask that?"
He moved closer to her and asked in a low voice, "Do you think I invested in your brother to please you and win your favor?"
Xiao Yao remained silent, thinking to herself that his approach to her mother and his investment in her brother were all for her sake, but she was too embarrassed to admit it.
Zhong Xuyang nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked, "If I really did that, would you be happy?"
