Chapter 453 What I Care About

"Mr. Zhong."

Mingzhu called out to him in a coquettish voice, and she walked closer in her high heels, bending down deliberately to face the car window. Her tube-top dress revealed a faint view of her, but Zhongyi didn't even glance at her.

He asked, "Want to get in the car?"

Xiang Mingzhu nodded quickly, went 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 to 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 could even dream of his beautiful face in her dreams.

"Mr. Zhong, are you here to pick me up specially?" Xiang Mingzhu asked in a pinched voice.

Wan Jiang, who was driving in the front seat, got goosebumps all over his body. This devil wanted to eat their Master Zhong. How could she be so unrestrained?

Zhong Yi crossed her legs casually, put her slender 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 we have a tacit understanding."

Xiang Mingzhu's eyes were glued to him. The more she looked at him, the more attractive he was. Zhong Lingxiao's fertility was not good. When the Zhong family officially announced the identity of the heir at the end of the year, the most likely person would be Zhong Yi.

So what if he is an illegitimate child? He has the ability and background.

Even her cousin Lu Yingxue, who was like a fairy and otherworldly, had a secret crush on him, and the Lu family had arranged an engagement for them a long time ago.

Zhong Yi smiled faintly, "What are you doing here? And wearing this kind of clothes, with what looks like pheasant feathers on your shoulders."

"This is a swan feather! It's a new design by Master Yilin for the Guan family's banquet tomorrow. Mr. Zhong, will you attend? Can I be your female companion?"

Xiang Mingzhu is obsessed with delusions.

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 it. Don't expose our relationship in public, understand?"

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 before the test session is over. Then... aren't you afraid that she will misunderstand you if you let me get in the car today?"

Zhong Yi's eyes, which were as clear as spring mountains, were slightly blurred, and her originally clear voice was slightly seductive: "I'm giving my fiancée's cousin a ride. What's the misunderstanding?"

"Master Zhong, you are bad!"

Wan Jiang, who was sitting in the driver's seat and driving, had a trembling hand and almost hit the guardrail.

He swallowed hard. Master Zhong's sacrifice was really too great.

He used his male beauty and power to seduce Xiang Mingzhu step by step. 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 Mall. What exactly happened?"

Xiang Mingzhu was not surprised that he got the news, after all, his last name was Zhong.

It was just too painful to speak, so she gritted her teeth and described the whole thing with exaggeration: "Lu Yan wanted to give Qiao Xi a warning, but I didn't expect that she would call the police yesterday to accuse me of fraud, and today she deliberately set a trap for me."

"This woman is deep-minded and has a treacherous heart. She is the most vicious person and caused me to be so embarrassed. Master Zhong, it's not that I don't let her go because of your cooperation with Huo Xingzhou. It's her own fault."

"Even if I don't torture her, Lu Yan and my brother will not let her go. This will definitely not affect your cooperation with Huo Xingzhou."

Zhong Yi's fingers stroked the cuff buttons of her shirt. She lowered her head with the corners of her mouth always curled up, but there was no warmth in her eyes.

His lips were full and he opened them softly: "Who is the jerk?"

Xiang Mingzhu felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her head. After she came to her senses, she felt cold all over. "I'm sorry, Master Zhong. I lost my temper. I shouldn't have said such vulgar words."

How could she say something in front of him that would ruin her image?

He didn't even look at Mingzhu again, but said, "Wanjiang, pull over."

"Okay, Mr. Zhong."

Wan Jiang found a roadside spot where he could park temporarily and slowly stepped on the brakes.

Xiang Mingzhu was feeling uneasy and confused.

Did she do something to upset Zhong Yi? Or did he like gentle women?

For a moment, countless thoughts filled her mind, worrying about gains and losses.

Zhong Yi turned around, his eyes were extremely cold: "Get out of the car."

"What?"

"Xiang Mingzhu, get out of the car."

"Mr. Zhong?"

"I have something else to do, so I can't take you home. You can go back by yourself, so your cousin won't get the wrong idea."

Wan Jiang deliberately 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 confused by his completely different attitudes and got out of the car like a puppet. Her high heels stepped on the edge of the green flowerbed and she stumbled, almost falling and exposing herself.

Bang.

The car door closed.

Soon, the Cullinan with Beijing A license plate drove away.

Xiang Mingzhu suddenly realized that it was extremely difficult to get a taxi in this area. She stamped her feet and looked at the hundreds of people waiting in line on her mobile phone, 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 went wrong.

But what does Zhong Yi mean? Is he really angry with her?

Xiang Mingzhu was feeling very nervous and couldn't help but call her favorite assistant Wan Jiang.

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 left behind and their relationship being discovered.

…

The Kulinum was driving steadily on the road. As soon as Wan Jiang saw the phone number, he knew it was Xiang Mingzhu's.

He asked quietly, "Mr. Zhong, it's Miss Xiang calling. She should be looking for you. Do you want to answer it?"

"Please pick up in thirty seconds."

Zhong Yi spoke slowly. He looked out the car window at the tall buildings and didn't take the call seriously at all.

Wan Jiang looked at the time displayed on the phone screen, waited until thirty seconds had passed before picking up the phone and turning on the speaker.

Xiang Mingzhu's coquettish voice came over: "Mr. Zhong, are you really angry with me? I just said something wrong and got mad. I will never say those dirty words in front of you again."

It sounds 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 angry with you. We'll talk about it after the needle test. Mingzhu, whether you can marry me depends on whether you can get the first place. If you really love me, work hard to prepare 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 ready to make a move thinking of the title of Mrs. Zhong.

"Well, hanging up. Be careful on your way home."

Zhong Yi responded with a few words and let Wan Jiang hang up the phone.

Wan Jiang couldn't help but mutter, "Mr. Zhong, why do you always use my phone to contact Miss Xiang? This is too inconvenient. Miss Xiang listens to you so much, how could she 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?"
