Chapter 35 It's really hard to please

In the living room, Yue Zifeng was still nagging at He Tingzhou: "Look at you, you saw that idiot bullying my sister, but you didn't rush to help. You called two crew members to do it. Can they keep their mouths shut? Now everyone on the ship knows about it. My sister is shy and must be feeling very uncomfortable."

"Your brain is full of nonsense." Zuo Zhong said to him, "Zheng Zuye has a grudge against Tingzhou. Don't you know how much he hates Tingzhou? He wants to snatch anything that has anything to do with Tingzhou. His interest in his sister may have faded in three or five days, but if he sees Tingzhou protecting her, he will immediately keep a close eye on her and even drug her or kidnap her to get her."

"That's true." Yue Zifeng said, "Zheng Zuye is the one who truly loves our Master He in this life."

He Tingzhou glanced lazily over and said, "If you want to go down and accompany him, just tell him straight. I'll give you a kick and let you two live together forever."

"He just isn't interested in me, what can I do about it?" Yue Zifeng swung his legs with a gloating look on his face. "Stay away from your sister in the future. That beast won't get involved with her again."

He Tingzhou didn't comment, with a nonchalant look on his face. He took out a poker card from somewhere and turned it over and over between his fingers.

The yacht docked in the evening of that day. The clouds were dyed into gradient pink and orange by the sunset glow, and the sea was always blue.

Lu Manman got into Shen Yu's car. Shen Yu closed the passenger door and turned to look at her.

Before he opened his mouth, Shuang Xu said sensibly, "You take Miss Lu home. Brother Zifeng and the others will go with me."

Shen Yu reminded her: "Go back and have a good rest. Remember to take medicine if the fever has not subsided."

Shuang Xu nodded and watched their car drive away.

He Tingzhou's Koenigsegg stopped by the roadside, with Yue Zifeng driving one behind the other.

Shuang Xu walked straight towards Yue Zifeng's car. When passing Koenigsegg, the window rolled down and He Tingzhou said, "Get in. I'll take you there."

Shuang Xu paused for a moment, not intending to go over, and said politely, "Don't bother you, Brother Tingzhou, we're not on the way."

She lives in East Third Ring Road and he lives in Yanxi, which is quite far away.

Then he continued walking backwards.

Didn't I coax you last night? Why are you still so cold?

He Tingzhou put his arm on the car window, his index finger on his temple, and watched her get into Yue Zifeng's car through the rearview mirror. He slowly retracted his gaze and started the car.

It's really hard to appease.

After returning to Yancheng, Shuang Xu didn't see He Tingzhou for a while.

Apart from Shen Yu and Yue Zifeng, there weren't many interactions between her and He Tingzhou.

They did meet by chance once outside. She was accompanying Fu Yun to dinner, and He Tingzhou happened to be in the same restaurant.

Shuang Xu didn't know the people he was traveling with, and they were all very flattering to him. He looked uninterested, and when his eyes passed by her across half the restaurant, they paused for a moment.

Shuang Xu saw that the woman next to him was the cheongsam beauty he had seen in the club last time.

She had a graceful figure in the tight skirt. She was talking to other people at the table with a smile on her face, but her toes were quietly hooking He Tingzhou's calves under the table.

Don’t look at anything inappropriate, Shuang Xu turned his eyes away and never looked there again.

When I was leaving the restaurant, I ran into him at the door.

"Tingzhou." Fu Yun stopped and spoke to him with a smile.

He Tingzhou responded lazily and his eyes slid across Shuang Xu who was standing on the other side of her.

Shuang Xu only called him "Brother Tingzhou" politely at first, then turned his head to look at the roadside and waited. When Fu Yun finished speaking, he got in the car with her and left.

The marriage between the Shen and Lu families was a grand event in the circle of wealthy families in Yancheng. After the news leaked out, various media and newspapers wrote about it over and over again. There were people squatting outside the Shen family villa and Shen Yu's private residence every day.

The paparazzi's guns and cannons caught a glimpse of a corner through a window. A young and beautiful woman hugged the man's waist and tiptoed gently.

The man's slender figure was half-hidden behind the gauze curtain, and his face could not be seen. However, his silhouette and the line of his jaw were enough to spark imagination.

The photo was reported in major media the next day and spread everywhere.

Xiao Liao was very enthusiastic about eating melons. While updating the news, he excitedly said: "Wow, this photo is so atmospheric! So well matched!"

Shu Yang was lying on the bed, vomiting violently. He picked up an apple core from the trash can and threw it at her: "Shut up."

The nurse quickly cleaned up the vomit, and Shuang Xu washed a towel to wipe Shu Yang's face.

"Really? Look, young boss." Xiao Liao held up his phone to Shuang Xu's face. "Doesn't the photo of your brother look handsome? This Miss Lu is so pretty too."

Shuang Xu was forced to look at it and nodded: "Yeah, it's really well taken."

Shu Yang pointed at Xiao Liao and wanted to scold him but couldn't find the right angle to do so.

Seeing her half-dead look, Shuang Xu smiled instead: "It's okay. Just think of it as desensitization treatment."

Desensitization is a slow and long process, and she found that she was no longer as sad as she was at the beginning.

Breaking away from the dependence and bondage to Shen Yu is a painful process, but it is also easy.

Because she had to, she had no other choice.

She had only seen Shen Yu once recently, when she went back to the Shen family for dinner on weekends. He asked a few questions about Feixue's recent situation, and she answered them one by one. That was all their communication.

"What desensitization treatment?" Xiao Liao approached innocently, "What are you allergic to?"

Shuang Xu replied seriously: "I am a little allergic to you."

Xiao Liao: “.”

Lu Manman's grandmother was old and in poor health, so she did not return to Yancheng with them, but stayed in Lincheng, where the climate was pleasant, to recuperate.

After the marriage was settled, Shen Yu accompanied her to Lincheng to meet the elders.

Yue Zifeng's sister was turning eight years old. As the Yue family had a daughter at an old age, they doted on this little girl and booked the hotel banquet hall to celebrate for her.

The birthday party was children-themed, and in order to cater to the children's preferences, the entire banquet hall was decorated like a Disney castle.

Sister Yue dressed up as her favorite rabbit police officer, and Yue Zifeng was forced to wear a fox headband and tail and was teased by everyone in the room.

"It really ruins my childhood." Several friends complained while taking photos with their mobile phones.

Yue Zifeng grabbed them and said, "Her best friend insisted on playing Snow White, and she was worried that there was no one to play the dwarfs. Come on, the clothes are ready for you."

Zuo Zhong tried to struggle: "Are you sure we are dwarfs standing next to her, not giants?"

When they came out wearing the dwarf COS costumes, Shuang Xu, who was sitting next to them, burst into laughter.

There was still one dwarf missing. Zuo Zhong fiddled with his mis-buttoned shirt while asking, "Is Tingzhou not here?"

"Let him play a dwarf? You're dreaming! He won't even play a prince."

Shuang Xu drank the juice and thought that He Tingzhou's temperament was not like that of a prince.

He is more like a dragon.

Sister Yue is very cute in her Judy COS costume, with the two rabbit ears on her head shaking.

She saw Shuangxu and ran over to grab her: "Princess Elsa is found!"

Suddenly, several little girls dressed in colorful clothes swarmed towards her, grabbing her hands and trying to pull her up.

"I am not..."

Before Shuang finished her words, a girl came up to her, blinked her eyes like stars and said, "Sister, you are so beautiful! Can you play Princess Elsa?"

Um... okay.

Who can resist such looks and praise?

The planners of the birthday party put a lot of thought into it, and both children's and adult versions of COS costumes are available, and the dressing room is equipped with professional makeup artists and hairstylists.

Shuang Xu was not able to escape either and was pulled to change into Princess Elsa's blue dress.

The hairstylist was going to put a wig on her, but after a few gestures, he gave up and said, "Forget it, your hair is so beautiful, you'd better not wear such a low-quality wig."

So I braided her hair into the same braid, letting it hang down from her left shoulder.

Shuang Xu came out of the dressing room and returned to the banquet hall. The hem of her skirt was a little long, so she lowered her head and lifted it up with her hands.

As she was walking, she saw a pair of leather shoes. She braked quickly and looked up while backing away.

He Tingzhou lowered his head and slowly looked at her from head to toe, and then looked back from bottom to top.

Finally, he looked at her face and slowly raised one eyebrow.
