Chapter 64 Be good, get down and let me coax you.
Zhao Zonglan was dressed in his usual attire.
He wore a black suit with a matching overcoat, his handsome and composed face was aloof and indifferent, exuding a noble air.
Chang An handed all the gifts in his hands to the servant.
Upon meeting Zhao Zonglan, Xu Ningwan realized that her daughter had excellent taste.
Unlike those young, pretty boys.
Mr. Zhao is tall with long legs, broad shoulders that don't appear rugged, and a narrow waist—he has a superb physique, a natural clothes hanger. His nose is high and straight, and his facial features are sharply defined, exuding a superior and aloof air.
What's even more remarkable is that he possesses a composure and ease that comes from having experienced the world.
This mature charm is not something every man possesses.
It looks very reliable.
But Shen Zhuoyuan had a different idea.
His daughter Miaomiao is innocent and well-behaved, so Zhao Zonglan probably used some means to get her to comply.
It must have been a honey trap.
Seduction, absolutely seduction.
Zhao Zonglan, his expression unchanged, broke the silence first: "Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, I apologize for disturbing you so late at night."
As he spoke, his gaze swept over Shen Jingni, noticing that she was muttering to herself, as if she were cursing him.
You heartless bastard.
Shen Zhuoyuan snorted coldly and did not invite him to sit down.
Xu Ningwan, however, smiled warmly and greeted him, "Mr. Zhao, please have a seat."
She then instructed the servants to quickly prepare tea.
"No need for that." Zhao Zonglan didn't intend to stay any longer. "I came here simply to give you both an explanation in person."
His tone was indifferent, devoid of emotion, but his aura was so strong that no one dared to speak to him without permission.
Shen Zhuoyuan snorted disdainfully again.
Zhao Zonglan didn't seem to care, and said calmly, "Your daughter and I are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Please rest assured that I will not wrong her."
Since it's his pet cat, he can certainly give it a proper status.
This isn't a difficult task; the only problem is that she might not want it.
Shen Zhuoyuan turned his face away, snorted coldly again, and still didn't say anything.
Xu Ningwan glared at him irritably, then put on a friendly smile: "Since Mr. Zhao is Miaomiao's boyfriend, then if I may be so bold as to ask, what is it about Miaomiao that you find attractive? Her looks? Her personality?"
For a shrewd and calculating man like Zhao Zonglan, it would be impossible for him to be easily moved or fall in love.
Xu Ningwan understood this, and Shen Zhuoyuan also understood it, which is why he was very angry.
She was asking about what was puzzling her own mind, but more importantly, about Zhao Zonglan's attitude.
Although he knew this was a test, Zhao Zonglan did not try to hide it and replied calmly, "She's quite cute."
Xu Ningwan understood.
Perhaps I like it, but it hasn't reached that deep level yet.
Since the two are determined to be together, their parents cannot force them to interfere.
Moreover, the other party is Zhao Zonglan. Unless Miaomiao takes the initiative to break up, no one can separate them.
As expected, this answer was met with a mocking snort from Shen Zhuoyuan.
Xu Ningwan couldn't help but pinch his arm, then looked up at Zhao Zonglan and said, "He's been constipated lately and keeps groaning. Don't mind him."
Shen Zhuoyuan: "...?"
Zhao Zonglan glanced at Shen Jingni, who was hanging her head. The little girl looked angry and didn't want to talk to him.
That stubborn streak is back again.
However, having achieved his purpose, he did not linger any longer and bid farewell before departing.
Xu Ningwan quickly raised her voice and said to Chen Jingni, "Miaomiao, can you help us see Mr. Zhao off?"
Shen Jingni was unhappy.
She could tell that Old Shen and Ms. Xu were somewhat afraid of Zhao Zonglan.
But Zhao Zonglan had spoiled her so much that she was rebellious and feared no one, and she immediately let out her suppressed temper.
“He’s over thirty years old, he can’t possibly not even know where to turn. I won’t see him off.”
After saying that, she stormed upstairs in a huff.
Why send a gift? They shouldn't have come in the first place.
Xu Ningwan never expected her usually well-behaved daughter to suddenly throw such a tantrum.
She gave Zhao Zonglan an apologetic look, and was about to explain when she heard Zhao Zonglan say, "It's alright."
He watched the figure gradually disappear into the second floor, a doting smile in his eyes, his voice low and deep, "She wouldn't let me come, she's throwing a tantrum at me right now."
Xu Ningwan was completely stunned.
Is Mr. Zhao really that good-tempered?
He wasn't angry at being told that, and he even indulged him.
Even Shen Zhuoyuan, who had been humming to himself, looked over, somewhat surprised.
He had been thinking that he couldn't let Miaomiao follow Zhao Zonglan without knowing the truth, and he couldn't let her suffer any injustice.
At present, neither of these two points seems to be true.
It even seems that the one who was wronged was not Miaomiao from his family, but someone else.
That's so weird.
Is this the legendary Zhao Zonglan?
He's quite handsome, I think.
Zhao Zonglan seems to be a tiny bit more handsome than he was when he was younger.
Watching Mr. Zhao leave, Xu Ningwan couldn't help but sigh, "My daughter has such good taste."
With a little training, she'd definitely be a super love-obsessed girl.
Shen Zhuoyuan started humming again, saying with dissatisfaction, "What's so good about it? Look at how he answered you!"
"Cute? Does my daughter need him to say she's cute?"
"He didn't even say 'I like you' once. He's so aloof and doesn't seem easy to get along with."
Xu Ningwan rolled her eyes at him: "I didn't ask you to date her, why are you worrying so much?"
"One is quite nice, and the other is quite cute. You know what, they're actually quite interesting."
Ms. Xu started to stumble a little.
Shen Zhuoyuan stopped humming and said angrily, "You women are so shallow. You switch sides just because he's handsome."
Xu Ningwan did not deny it, "He is not only handsome, but also rich and powerful, polite, and responsible."
Oh dear, the more I talk about it, the more satisfied I become.
Shen Zhuoyuan was fighting alone. He couldn't argue with her, and he didn't dare to say anything harsh, so he could only secretly open his phone and send a WeChat message to Shen Qingyan, who was far away in Los Angeles.
Your sister is about to be carried off by the big bad wolf! Return immediately!
-
After throwing a tantrum, Shen Jingni returned to her room, took a shower, and lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
For the first time ever, he actually started to reflect on himself.
Although Zhao Zonglan's sudden attempt to force her into an official announcement caught her completely off guard, and his unexpected visit to the Shen family angered her, his personal intervention on her behalf allowed her to easily overcome her parents' objections.
The merits and demerits barely offset each other.
It seems like she doesn't need to be angry anymore, huh?
But you can't be too nice to him either.
Thinking of this, she sent Zhao Zonglan a message: "Because you were really rude today, I've decided to ignore you for two days."
He replied very quickly: "Come out and see me off."
?
He hasn't left yet?
It's been so long.
Shen Jingni hurriedly ran to the window, pulled back the curtain, and saw that Zhao Zonglan's Maybach was still parked outside the Shen family villa.
Quietly, wait.
Her heart skipped a beat, but she stubbornly replied, "No."
The next second, Zhao Zonglan called.
The man's deep, magnetic voice traveled through the radio waves into her ears, stimulating the nerves at the tips of her ears.
"Come on, get down and let me comfort you."
