In order to relieve the other party of any psychological burden, Wen Xi explained with a smile: "I was going to save Shanshan anyway, and saving you was just a coincidence. Don't worry about it."
By the way...
Could you please stop saying things so hurtfully?
Xiao Zheng suddenly felt that he had suffered a critical hit of 10,000 points.
"Can……"
He was just about to say that he had run all over the city and finally ordered a grapefruit-flavored cake when someone suddenly patted his shoulder hard.
"Xiao Zheng, why did you come here without saying hello? The refrigerator at home is empty."
Xiao Zheng turned around stiffly, and when he saw the person coming, his smile was uglier than crying: "Aunt."
Just now he said that someone invited him to dinner, but now the refrigerator is empty...
The slap in the face came so unexpectedly that he wanted to be quiet.
"Hey, isn't this the little girl from the Wen family?"
When Xiao Zheng's aunt saw Wen Xi, she greeted her with a happy smile.
"Why are you two together? Oh, by the way, I remember you guys were from the same school."
"Yes, Auntie. We are not only in the same school, but also in the same class."
Wen Xi glanced with amusement at the little brat Xiao Zheng who was standing aside like a wooden chicken.
"I'm sorry, Xiao, I really can't come tomorrow because of something."
She rummaged in her pocket and pulled out a chocolate ball and handed it to him.
"Here, this is for you. Happy birthday in advance. Also, thank you for taking me back today. I won't need you anymore."
Xiao Zheng's face flushed red after being exposed in front of him.
"I told you it was just a side trip."
He continued to be stubborn, took the candy nonchalantly and put it in his trouser pocket, muttering softly, "I'm almost an adult, who still wants to eat this?"
Although he said this, he did not let go of the candy in his pocket.
"Then my aunt has no food, so I'm leaving."
He turned around seemingly calmly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise wildly.
This birthday gift is so sweet.
"Now that we're here, why are you leaving? I'm going to buy some groceries."
After saying this, Aunt Xiao Zheng hurried to the fresh food supermarket nearby.
Before leaving, he reminded her: "Just play with your classmates here for a while, I'll be quick."
Play for a while?
You are not a little kid anymore, why are you playing with wool?
Wen Xi was a little amused and helpless.
"Xiao, I'm hungry, so I'm going home first. You can wait here."
"Um."
Xiao Zheng did not try to keep him.
After all, the two were sworn enemies before, and it would take time to ease the relationship.
But I didn't hire anyone, and I still feel a little unwilling.
So he shamelessly called out to Wen Xi who was about to leave.
"Anything else?"
"I can't accept your birthday present for nothing. When are you free tomorrow? I'll bring you a cake."
"No."
Before Wen Xi had the time to refuse, someone spoke up for her.
"He Tingyan? Why are you here so late?"
Seeing the person coming, she looked slightly surprised.
He Tingyan walked over to her and stood still, without saying a word. He pursed his thin lips and looked coldly at Xiao Zheng who was standing opposite him.
The two looked at each other.
The atmosphere was a little strange for a moment.
After a brief silence, He Tingyan spoke first.
"She'll be busy all day tomorrow and won't have time to eat your cake."
Xiao Zheng felt a chill down his spine from his cold gaze.
He recognized the man who seemed to be covered in a layer of ice at a glance.
Isn’t that Mr. He who rushed to Tuanshan and saved Wen Xi?
After returning that day, he made a special effort to inquire about the matter in a roundabout way. His father told him that this man was very capable despite being young. In today's domestic business community, many people were wary of him. He was a ruthless character that his peers were terrified of.
But so what?
