Su Xi suddenly couldn't see through him.
What does that mean, you dog of a man?
She trembled from the burns, but his advances did not diminish.
Her body felt boneless as he pulled her into his arms.
Bathing in the warm water, Su Xi said easily, "I don't care how you do things, except with Su Rou and Qiao Xing. My wife is so generous and considerate, are you satisfied, Young Master Zhou?"
Zhou Jingming let out a low chuckle. "Very satisfied."
As soon as he finished speaking, his actions became even more incomprehensible.
An hour later, Su Xi was carried out of the bathroom by Zhou Jingming, wrapped in a white bath towel. The maid had come up to call them for dinner, but no one answered when they knocked, and she didn't come up again after that.
The moment she was placed on the bed, Su Xi was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes.
The man was still full of energy. He took out a bathrobe from the closet, put it on, and turned to her, saying, "Qiao Xing has a powerful backer. It must have been Xing Lan who personally helped her deal with the trending topic. But as long as Xi'er needs me, I can help you anytime."
A carefree "Xi'er" pulled Su Xi back to reality. She opened her eyes, a half-smile on her face, "I heard Xinglan retired a long time ago, it shouldn't be her, right?"
"Xinglan and Xu Lang are senior and junior brothers. Xu Lang is also very protective of Qiao Xing, so he will naturally ask Xinglan for help. It is said that Xinglan and Xu Lang have a good relationship. If their junior brother is in trouble, Xinglan will definitely lend a hand."
"You seem to know Xinglan quite well."
Zhou Jingming lit a cigarette and leaned casually against the wardrobe. "A legend in the entertainment industry, who doesn't know her? If Xinglan hadn't retired, I would definitely have invested billions in her."
Su Xi: "There will be an opportunity."
Zhou Jingming looked at her meaningfully, "You know Xinglan?"
Su Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly waved her hand, "I'm just a nobody, while he's an international superstar. We have absolutely no connection, how could we possibly know each other?"
"Too."
Zhou Jingming continued to stare at her.
Su Xi could clearly sense that the man was testing her. Could it be that he suspected something?
"I'm hungry, go downstairs and get me something to eat."
She blinked, her alluring demeanor tinged with a hint of coquetry.
This tactic worked very well on Zhou Jingming, and the scoundrel walked out of the room without saying a word.
Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief and took out her phone to check the news.
Qiao Xing's trending topics have dropped, and the top three are all news about Xing Lan, leading to speculation that Xing Lan is preparing for a comeback.
It's been three years.
He's about to make a comeback.
Xu Lang's actions served as a warning to the public, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
After the trending topic faded, Qiao Xing rushed to issue a statement to play the victim, claiming that she was framed, but she did not admit to her relationship with Xu Lang.
This woman...
She's practically a perfect, innocent beauty.
Xu Lang went to great lengths to clear her name, but all the blame fell on Xu Lang, while she remained unscathed.
Xu Lang, oh Xu Lang.
I've been raising you for so many years, and all you've gained is brainpower, not emotional intelligence.
If you keep getting entangled with Qiao Xing, you'll suffer the consequences sooner or later!
Fu Yu called quickly, informing her about the trending topics and the entanglement between Xu Lang and Qiao Xing.
"Xu Lang met Qiao Xing two years ago. The two fell in love while filming a drama. However, Xu Lang has contributed a lot to Qiao Xing's success. This silly boy helped her gather a lot of resources in order to support her rise to fame. As a result, Qiao Xing dumped Xu Lang after she became famous."
"Xu Lang was truly in love. Even after becoming cannon fodder, he still stood by Qiao Xing."
Su Xi sat up, leaned against the bed, and pressed her temples. "Find a time to meet Xu Lang. I want to see him."
"Boss, are you coming out of retirement?"
Fu Yu was quite surprised.
Su Xi had no such plans yet, and waved her hand, "The time is not right."
Xu Lang is childish and immature. If he continues to be with Qiao Xing, he will only be used. He doesn't listen to anyone. If she doesn't meet him in person, Xu Lang will be finished sooner or later.
"At what time?"
A sinister voice suddenly rang in her ears, and Su Xi shuddered, her eyes instinctively turning towards the door.
Zhou Jingming appeared out of nowhere, leaning against the door with food in his hands, looking lazy and nonchalant.
Seeing that things were not going well, Fu Yu took the initiative to hang up the phone first.
Su Xi steadied herself, smiled, and tossed her hair. "When did you arrive? Why did you walk so quietly?"
Su Xi believed she was very alert and that no sound or movement could escape her ears.
But when Zhou Jingming came in, she didn't notice at all.
Was it due to my own negligence?
Or is this man superhumanly skilled?
"You were so focused on the phone that I knocked on the door." Zhou Jingming walked in and placed the food on the table.
Su Xi frowned even more deeply.
Did he knock on the door?
Su Xi's gaze towards Zhou Jingming changed repeatedly. Suddenly, her body was suspended in mid-air, and the scoundrel pulled her back into his arms.
"I can walk by myself."
Su Xi felt extremely insecure, all stemming from her childhood experiences. Zhou Jingming was also prone to surprise attacks, which always made her heart leap into her throat.
"Looks like you're not tired enough." Zhou Jingming said, leaning close to her ear as he placed her on the sofa.
Su Xi punched him, "Even eating can't shut you up."
"If you can't stop it, why don't you kiss me?" The shameless bastard pressed himself against me.
Su Xi: "..."
He ignored it completely, picked up his chopsticks to eat, but put them down the next second. "Why are all the dishes meat?"
“I told the maid you were exhausted, so she prepared all the meat and vegetables.”
Su Xi: "...Why don't you just say we've been cooking for an hour and have the maid make you some soup to nourish your kidneys?"
"Okay, I'll go down and talk to you now."
Zhou Jingming smiled and was about to leave, his shamelessness making one grit their teeth.
Su Xi was worn down and about to say something when a servant's voice came from outside, "Young Master Zhou, your soup is ready."
Su Xi: "..."
The man was in a good mood and walked with a brisk pace, quickly fetching the soup.
Su Xi smelled something was off about the aroma and had no intention of drinking it.
Despite having a guess, I couldn't help but ask, "What kind of soup?"
The man uttered two words.
Su Xi pinched the bridge of her nose.
We really can't chat anymore.
Seeing her speechless expression, Zhou Jingming chuckled lightly, "How about we both get some nourishment?"
"I don't have your thing, so I don't need to supplement it." Su Xi lowered her head and ate her food, deliberately ignoring the man's overt and covert provocations.
Zhou Jingming drank the soup, but his eyes never left her.
Su Xi is not only beautiful, but she also has excellent table manners. She eats heartily without being rude at all; instead, she exudes a charming and innocent air.
Zhou Jingming had a mouthful of soup in his mouth, and beckoned to her with his finger, "Xi'er, come here."
"What?" Su Xi asked, confused, but still leaned forward.
Zhou Jingming suddenly grabbed the back of her head with one hand, and pressed his handsome face close to hers, sealing her lips with his. "We are husband and wife, we should share both happiness and hardship."
