Chapter 177 He Tingzhou, do you love me?
When he walked to the front yard, Shuang Xu saw the Koenigsegg parked as majestically as it could be.
If there wasn't a one-meter-high staircase in front of the door, he would probably drive the car directly into the Zheng family's living room.
"How did you know I would come here?" Shuang Xu asked.
She had been at Zheng's house for less than twenty minutes. If He Tingzhou hadn't known about it beforehand, how could he have arrived so quickly?
"Your senior felt something was wrong and called me." He Tingzhou opened the passenger door and turned to look at her. "Why can't you be smarter, huh? Just come when someone asks you to, dear."
"Who said I'm not smart? On my way here, I actually had a feeling that today's banquet would not be simple." The fact that Cui Ning came to pick her up personally was intriguing in itself.
"Then you're coming again?"
"My brother and my mom are here, nothing will happen to me."
"Do you trust your brother so much?"
"Of course I trust my brother." If she can't even trust Shen Yu, the man who raised her, then there is probably no one in this world that can be trusted.
He Tingzhou asked her, "If you encounter danger, will you look for me first or your brother?"
Here we go again. A fatal question.
Looking for her brother when encountering troubles is an instinctive reaction that she developed since she was a child by Shen Yu's side, but she doesn't know when this instinct engraved in her blood seems to have been slowly peeling away.
How domineering is He Tingzhou? In a short period of time, he occupied her world and her subconscious with the power of an imperialist colonizer. If she encounters danger, it is hard to say who she will think of first.
She gave him a serious but smart answer: "You won't know until you are in danger. I will try to make you the first one."
He Tingzhou snorted, "I'll give it to you, you thief." He held out his hand to her, "Give me the phone."
Shuang Xu handed the phone over.
He Tingzhou skillfully entered the password to unlock the phone, set himself as her emergency contact, and put the phone back in her hand.
"Next time you are smart, come to me first. Remember?"
Shuang Xu nodded.
He Tingzhou said, "Get in the car."
Shuang Xu didn't move, and looked at him with clear eyes, looking at his drooping eyelashes and his straight nose.
"He Tingzhou, do you love me?"
He Tingzhou didn't speak at first, and looked at her with unclear eyes for a moment. He hung his wrist bone on the car door and looked at her with lowered eyelids: "You can grasp the key point, right?"
"I'm not deaf." Shuangxu said, "Everyone inside heard it."
The brief interactions they had as children could be ignored. She always felt that they had known each other for too short a time and it was too early to say they were in love.
But she couldn't deny that her heart was violently moved the moment she heard He Tingzhou say he loved her.
He Tingzhou ordered in an unquestionable tone: "Forget it."
?
Before Shuang Xu could react, he held down his Tianling Gai and stuffed him into the car without any explanation.
She opened her mouth to speak, but He Tingzhou closed the car door. She watched through the glass as his tall figure passed in front of the car, opened the passenger door, and got in.
She didn't let him go: "You haven't answered yet. Are you embarrassed to admit it?"
Before she could finish her words, He Tingzhou leaned over without warning, grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her.
The way he kissed her was a little wild, as if he was teaching her a lesson for his persistence.
Shuang Xu soon couldn't breathe due to lack of oxygen, and when he let her go, her eyes were filled with tears.
He Tingzhou brushed his fingertips across her lips that were kissed so beautifully, and his eyes seemed to be filled with warmth when they fell on them.
He raised his eyes, met hers, and said in a casual voice, "I dare to admit, are you ready to listen?"
Shuang Xu's heart shuddered again for some unknown reason, and he leaned back in his chair and behaved himself.
He Tingzhou let go of her, stepped back calmly and started the car.
"Seat belts," he said.
"Oh..." Shuang Xu lowered his head and fastened his seat belt.
He Tingzhou turned the steering wheel, and the supercar turned and made a new wheel track on the lawn. The security guard not far away did not dare to stop him, and quickly opened the door to see him off.

Mr. Zheng's 80th birthday banquet ended in a farce.
There was no impenetrable wall in the whole city of Yan. Soon, the second-generation rich man of the Zheng family started a conflict with the crown prince of the He family. The two men were fighting for one woman. The news that He Tingzhou openly came to the door and tried to snatch her away spread like wildfire.
This kind of love-hate story is the most fascinating, and the Zheng family can't hide it even if they want to.
Everyone has their own opinions. The news of He Tingzhou and Song Shuangxu's relationship has long been spread throughout the circle. The Zheng family's behavior was really not fair.
The old man felt that he had lost face and stayed at home for several days without seeing any visitors.
When He Wenjing heard the news, she took Shuangxu shopping in a grand manner, followed by several bodyguards to carry things. She also invited a bunch of ladies to hold a party for Shuangxu at home. The only thing missing was printing out the words "Song Shuangxu is the future daughter-in-law of our He family" and distributing them on the streets.
In short, for a period of time, the whole Yancheng was talking about this story of the He and Shen families competing for people.
Shuangxu went back to Shen's house on the weekend, and Shen Changyuan also came back. At the dinner table, Fu Yun asked, "Shuangxu, your father and I have been considering the matter of separating your household registration these days. What do you think?"
She had this idea in mind ever since the birthday banquet that day.
The Song family neither loves her nor treats her as a human being. If the Song family has any conscience, they will not push Shuang Xu into that fire pit with a scum like Zheng Zuye.
But they are godparents after all, and it is not reasonable to move them out of their biological family.
Fu Yun and Shen Changyuan discussed it carefully. If they didn't really care about Shuang Xu, they would never bring up such a proposal that would make people stab them in the back and scold them.
She asked carefully, afraid to hurt Shuang Xu. After all, she was just a girl in her early twenties, still a child in her eyes. No one would feel good if treated like this by a blood relative.
This matter coincided with Shuang Xu's.
But she didn't expect that Shen Changyuan, who hated to meddle in other people's grudges, would consider these things for her together with Fu Yun.
I don't feel sad at all, instead my heart feels warm.
"In fact, I have already called Song Mianzhi and mentioned this matter." Shuang Xu said, "They disagreed."
When the Song family was mentioned, Fu Yun became angry: "They are a family of sophisticated egoists. They have never cared about you since you were a child, and they don't want others to gossip about them. They are too obsessed with face."
There is a more realistic part later, which Fu Yun did not mention.
Now Shuang Xu has grown up and become dignified and beautiful. She is a chess piece with huge utilization value to the Song family. It would be strange if they were willing to give up on her.
When planting wheat, one is unwilling to put in a single drop of effort, but when autumn comes, one only thinks about reaping the harvest.
Shen Changyuan was not surprised at the Song family's attitude: "With Mianzhi's status, his every move will be watched and magnified, so he will naturally be more cautious. Your godmother and I will go talk to them. This matter will not be easy, so don't have too high expectations."
He didn't say it too confidently, for fear that Shuang Xu's hopes would be dashed, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked by Fu Yun.
Shen Changyuan cleared his throat and added: "But don't worry. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, as long as we and your brother are here, we won't let them arrange your marriage casually."
Shuang Xu stood up and walked behind Fu Yun, hugging her: "Father and mother, thank you."
Fu Yun patted her arm and said, "We are a family, so let's not talk about that."
