Chapter 453 What's My Favorite
"Mr. Zhong."
Xiang Mingzhu called out to her sweetly as she approached in her high heels, bending deliberately towards the car window. Her strapless dress revealed a faint glimpse of her beauty, but Zhongyi didn't even glance at her.
He asked, "Want to get in the car?"
Xiang Mingzhu nodded quickly, walked around to the other side and got into the car.
She moved her seat, wanting to be closer to Zhong Yi. This was the first time she saw Zhong Yi since returning to the imperial capital from Haicheng.
She didn't dare let Lu Yingxue know what she was thinking, and she had to wait until after the needle test meeting. But she wanted to see him, and sometimes she even dreamed of his beautiful face.
"Mr. Zhong, are you here to pick me up specially?" Xiang Mingzhu asked with her throat pinched.
Wan Jiang, who was driving in the front seat, got goosebumps. This witch wanted to eat their Young Master Zhong. How could she be so unrestrained?
Zhong Yi crossed her legs casually, folded her long, white fingers on one side and said, "I was just passing by and didn't expect to see you."
"That's because we are destined to be together and have a tacit understanding."
Xiang Mingzhu's eyes were glued to him; the more she looked at him, the more attractive he became. Zhong Lingxiao's fertility was limited, and by the end of the year, when the Zhong family officially announced the heir, Zhong Yi would be the most likely candidate.
So what if he is an illegitimate child? He has the ability and background.
Even her cousin Lu Yingxue, who was as otherworldly as a fairy, had a crush on him, and the Lu family had arranged their marriage a long time ago.
Zhong Yi's eyebrows showed a faint smile, "What are you doing here? And wearing such clothes, and the decorations on the shoulders look like pheasant feathers."
"This is a swan feather! It's a new design by Master Yilin, for the Guan family banquet tomorrow. Master Zhong, will you be there? Can I be your female companion?"
Xiang Mingzhu is wishful thinking.
Zhong Yi said with a half-smile, "Do you want Lu Yingxue to find out about our affair? The Lu family will kill you, and I can't bear that. Don't expose our relationship in public, okay?"
His affectionate tone made Xiang Mingzhu's heart pound.
Her cheeks flushed as she whispered, "I know. I won't let my cousin find out about our relationship until the needle test meeting is over. So... aren't you afraid she'll misunderstand you letting me get in the car today?"
Zhong Yi's eyes, as clear as spring mountains, were slightly blurred by the ripples. Her originally clear and spring-like voice was a little seductive: "I'm giving my fiancée's cousin a ride. What's the misunderstanding?"
"Mr. Zhong, you are bad!"
Wan Jiang, who was sitting in the driver's seat, almost hit the guardrail when his hand shook.
He swallowed hard. Young Master Zhong's sacrifice was too great.
He used his male beauty and power to hook Xiang Mingzhu. His acting was flawless. How strong a heart must one have to be to achieve this level!
Zhong Yi glanced at him indifferently, with a hidden warning in her eyes.
Then he turned to Xiang Mingzhu and said, "I heard that you had an argument with someone in the Ruisha Shopping Mall. What exactly happened?"
Xiang Mingzhu was not surprised that he got the news, after all, his last name was Zhong.
It was just hard to bring herself to speak, so she gritted her teeth and described the entire incident with exaggerated language: "Lu Yan originally wanted to give Qiao Xi a warning, but I didn't expect her to call the police yesterday to extort money, and today she deliberately set a trap for me to fall into."
"This woman is scheming and vicious. She's the most vicious person and caused me such a huge embarrassment. Master Zhong, it's not that I won't let her go because of your cooperation with Huo Xingzhou, it's her own fault."
"Even if I don't torment her, Lu Yan and my brother will not let her go. This will definitely not affect your cooperation with Huo Xingzhou."
Zhongyi's fingers stroked the cufflinks of his shirt, he lowered his head with the corners of his mouth always raised, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
His lips were full and he opened them gently: "Who is being mean?"
Xiang Mingzhu felt as if a basin of ice water was poured over her head. When she woke up, her whole body was cold. "I'm sorry, Master Zhong. I lost my composure. I shouldn't have said such vulgar words."
How could she say such irresponsible things in front of him and ruin her image?
Without even glancing at Mingzhu, he said, "Wanjiang, pull over."
"Okay, Master Zhong."
Wan Jiang found a place on the roadside where he could temporarily park and slowly stepped on the brakes.
Xiang Mingzhu was nervous and confused.
Did she do something to upset Zhong Yi? Or did he like gentle women?
For a moment, countless thoughts filled her mind, and she was worried about gains and losses.
Zhong Yi turned around, his eyes cold: "Get out of the car."
"What?"
"Xiang Mingzhu, get out of the car."
"Master Zhong?"
"I still have things to take care of, so I can't take you home. Go back by yourself, and that won't cause your cousin to misunderstand."
Wan Jiang got out of the car and walked around to the back, opened the door on Xiang Mingzhu's side and said, "Miss Xiang, please get out of the car."
Xiang Mingzhu was stunned by his completely different attitudes and got out of the car like a puppet. Her high heels stepped on the edge of the green flower bed, and she stumbled and almost fell and exposed herself.
Bang.
The car door closed.
Soon, the Cullinan with the Beijing A license plate drove away.
Xiang Mingzhu suddenly realized how difficult it was to get a taxi in this area. She stamped her feet, looking at the hundreds of people waiting in line on her phone app, feeling extremely annoyed.
In the end, I had no choice but to call the driver at home to pick me up.
Damn it!
She really shouldn't have gone out today, everything was going wrong.
But what does "zhongyi" mean? Is he really angry with her?
Xiang Mingzhu was feeling very nervous and could not help but call Wan Jiang, the assistant she liked.
This was Zhong Yi's special instruction. It was best for the two of them not to contact each other directly. If there was anything, they should call Wan Jiang. This would prevent any evidence from being found and their relationship would be discovered.
…
The Cullinan was driving steadily on the road. Wan Jiang knew it was Xiang Mingzhu's phone number as soon as he saw it.
He asked quietly, "Mr. Zhong, it's Miss Xiang calling. She should be looking for you. Do you want to answer it?"
"Call back in thirty seconds."
Zhong Yi spoke slowly. He looked at the scenery of tall buildings outside the car window and didn't take the call to heart at all.
Wan Jiang looked at the time displayed on the phone screen, waited for thirty seconds before picking up the phone and turning on the speaker.
Xiang Mingzhu's delicate voice came over: "Mr. Zhong, are you really angry with me? I just said something out of turn and got really angry. From now on, I will never say those dirty words in front of you again."
It sounded like crying.
Wan Jiang took one look at Zhong Yi and his heart was as hard as stone.
Zhong Yi said with a hint of impatience, "I'm not mad at you. We'll talk about this after the needle-testing competition. Mingzhu, whether you can marry me depends on whether you can get the top spot. If you really love me, then prepare well for the competition."
"Master Zhong, I will definitely do it!"
Xiang Mingzhu has completely fallen into the love web he has woven, and she is eager to make a move thinking about the title of Mrs. Zhong.
"Well, hanging up. Be careful on your way home."
Zhong Yi responded with a few words and asked Wan Jiang to hang up the phone.
Wan Jiang couldn't help but mutter, "Master Zhong, why do you always use my phone to contact Miss Xiang? This is so inconvenient. Miss Xiang listens to you so much, how could she possibly disrupt your plans?"
Zhong Yi raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly: "The human heart is the most difficult to control. What if Xiang Mingzhu loses her temper and goes crazy? Then it is you, Wan Jiang, who is so affectionate with her. What does it have to do with me, Zhong Yi?"
