Chapter 556: Men, all need to be trained
Gu Siqing held Zhang Ziyao's sleeve tightly, she would never let him go to Xia Ying.
Putting aside the matter between him and Xia Ying, Xia Ying's blind date was introduced by Gu Yimin. Although the two families didn't interact much, they knew each other. What would others say when Zhang Ziyao went there?
Han Zhengping stood up and pulled Zhang Ziyao to sit down, "Second Brother Zhang, you are not usually such an impulsive person!"
This made Zhang Ziyao calm down a lot. He glanced at Xia Ying again, then sat down and said, "I didn't think it through."
Gu Siqing curled her lips in her heart, and then said, "Brother Zhang, you have been very busy recently. I haven't seen you yet."
Zhang Ziyao had now regained his composure and said, "I was indeed very busy. I went abroad for an inspection and just came back an hour ago."
Gu Siqing: ""
I don’t know how to describe the fate between him and Xia Ying.
Han Zhengping asked the waiter to add more tableware, and then he and Zhang Ziyao chatted while eating. Zhang Ziyao was also a great man, he could control his emotions freely. Just now he looked like he was eager to grab the bride, but now he was chatting and laughing with Han Zhengping, as if they had made an appointment to have dinner together.
The successors trained by the Zhang family are indeed extraordinary.
Xia Ying must have had a good chat with Fang Zhen, as the meal lasted quite a long time. When they stood up to pay the bill, Zhang Ziyao finally showed some panic again.
Xia Ying was about to leave with Fang Zhen, and he stood up and was about to go over again. Gu Siqing quickly said, "I'll go, you guys wait here."
Running over to Xia Ying and Fang Zhen, Gu Siqing said in surprise, "Sister Ying, are you eating here too?"
Xia Ying looked back at her, with a half-smile and an expression as if she had acted well, and then introduced Gu Siqing to Fang Zhen.
Gu Siqing thought to herself, "I'm not doing this for you." She greeted Fang Zhen and said, "Sister Ying, I have something to talk to you about."
Seeing this, Fang Zhen said he was leaving and told Xia Ying that he would contact him later. He seemed very satisfied with this blind date. Gu Siqing waited until he was far away, then pulled Xia Ying aside and whispered, "Brother Zhang came and tried to ruin your blind date, but I stopped him."
Gu Siqing complained without any psychological burden.
Xia Ying was stunned after hearing this, and then asked: "Where is the person?"
Now that people are here, there is no point in hiding. We must make things clear.
Gu Siqing took her there and then left with Han Zhengping. It would be inappropriate to stay here any longer.
After the two left, Zhang Ziyao seemed unusually awkward. He said, "Let's find a place to talk."
Xia Ying hummed, and Zhang Ziyao asked the waiter to open a private room. The two of them went in one after the other. After sitting down, they were silent for a while. Xia Ying looked at the scenery outside the window, her heart aching and bitter.
Growing up, she had had everything going smoothly, except for Zhang Ziyao, where she tasted bitterness and sadness.
Zhang Ziyao had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to begin. He took a while to organize his words before saying, "I went on a business trip to Germany that afternoon."
The day he was referring to was the day Xia Ying told him she'd written him a letter. He was shocked, secretly delighted, and a little overwhelmed. He hadn't imagined that someone had been in love with him, unbeknownst to him, from the time he was sixteen or seventeen, a full ten years.
"I'm sorry I didn't reply to you after reading that letter that day." Zhang Ziyao said with difficulty, "I didn't know how to reply to you at the time. I couldn't refuse you, but I also didn't know if I could give you the future you wanted."
He had always known that Xia Ying was excellent, and that he might not have been worthy of her before, let alone now. Most importantly, he was used to being cold and indifferent, and he didn't know how to respond to Xia Ying's deep feelings.
However, if he gave up like this, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life. People are always selfish, even if he couldn't be sure that he could give her the happiness she wanted, he still wanted to hold her in his hands.
Xia Ying couldn't describe the feeling she was having. She only knew that her heart was choking with pain. She fell in love with someone in a split second, and then she hid that love for ten years.
She turned around and pretended to be calm, "So what do you want to say now?"
"If you don't mind my age and the fact that I'm divorced, please give me a chance. I can't guarantee that I can give you what you want, but I will try my best."
Zhang Ziyao's eyes were burning, and his heart was filled with anxiety. Even if Xia Ying liked him before, it didn't mean she liked him now. Even if she liked him now, she might not want to be with him.
He was a little insecure in front of her.
Xia Ying looked him up and down, "You're almost thirty, you're indeed quite old." The guy she had a blind date with just now was only 23 years old.
Zhang Ziyao clenched his hands nervously, and then heard Xia Ying say, "But we can try to get along."
She wasn't sentimental, nor did she want to be. After liking him for so many years, she wouldn't let the chance to be together slip away. She said she'd give it a try because she knew that, while she liked him, she didn't truly understand him.
It’s true that she is persistent in this relationship, but she is not obsessed with it.
Zhang Ziyao's nervous heart finally relaxed after hearing her words, and a big smile appeared on his face. He said, "If I do something wrong in the future, please tell me."
Although he has been divorced once, he really doesn't know how to date.
Xia Ying didn't refuse, she said, "Okay."
Men all need to be trained. Just look at Zhang Zijun and you will know.
Although Zhang Ziyao wasn't good at dating, he was very smart. He immediately said, "I have a few days off. Can I give you all my time?"
Seeing him speak, Xia Ying smiled and pursed her lips, "Okay, but don't let our family know about what's going on between us."
Zhang Ziyao understood that although they had known each other since childhood and Xia Ying liked him, they had never really gotten along. They both knew that each other was a good person, but two good people didn't necessarily get along well.
The two families lived in the same compound and were familiar with each other. If their affair became known to both families and it didn't work out, everyone would be embarrassed. So he agreed without hesitation.
"Then I'll go back first. My family is waiting for the result of my blind date." Xia Ying said as she walked out, and Zhang Ziyao followed.
"How do you know I'm having a blind date here?" Xia Ying asked again.
"I was walking home from the airport when I ran into Zijun and his wife. I heard them talking about your blind date."
Zhang Ziyao said he was calm now, but he was panicking at the time. When he heard she was going on a blind date, he grabbed Zhang Zijun and asked who he was with and where he was. He didn't even send her luggage home, but hijacked Zhang Zijun's car and chased after her.
: Let them be together. For Xia Ying, being with the one she loves is the best thing.
