Chapter 73 Unimportant People



Xu Zhengxi carried the person to the official car and settled them securely in the seat before getting in from the other side.

Throughout the entire process, Secretary Chen kept a close watch on his surroundings.

They were afraid that their leader would be recognized or photographed, and that something unpredictable might happen.

He only breathed a sigh of relief after Xu Zhengxi got into the car, and put Xu Zhe's cane into the trunk.

Inside the carriage, Xu Zhe felt extremely awkward.

He declared early in the morning that he would never go to school again, but then he rushed off to school.

Originally, I had decided that since I was here to study, I would go back to the dormitory with Su Nan and Bei Xiaoyu tonight, but unexpectedly, Secretary Chen appeared out of nowhere.

That scoundrel Xu Zhengxi is still waiting for her in the car.

Thinking of Jiang Shuning's information, Xu Zhe's awkwardness turned into anger.

She could understand that the man was getting on in years and wanted to marry someone of equal social standing.

But she couldn't understand why he didn't know how to part amicably and let her go back to school to live her own life.

They remained silent the entire way.

Xu Zhe was so annoyed, cursing the scoundrel of a man all the way.

Upon arriving at the Xu residence, Xu Zhengxi picked her up again and carried her inside.

The cane was handed over to Steward Zhou by Secretary Chen.

Butler Zhou took the cane, glanced at the empty trunk, and asked Secretary Chen:

"Where is Miss Zhe's wheelchair?"

Secretary Chen: "I borrowed it from a classmate."

Butler Zhou didn't understand, but nodded and politely said goodbye to Secretary Chen.

Then he quickly caught up with his young master.

"Young Master, shall we have dinner first or...?" Butler Zhou asked.

Rumble, rumble... Xu Zhe's stomach answered Butler Zhou's question at just the right moment.

Xu Zhengxi carried the person towards the restaurant.

Butler Zhou smiled and silently followed behind the young master.

It had been a long time since he had eaten at this restaurant. Xu Zhe leaned against Xu Zhengxi, taking in the changes around the place.

The furnishings and murals have all been replaced; I don't know whose style that is. It's definitely more down-to-earth than before.

Jiang Shuning likes this kind of thing? Xu Zhe wondered silently.

By the time she came to her senses, she had already been seated.

Xu Zhe looked down. The dining chairs had been changed; they were now covered with soft cushions and had armrests on both sides.

It's quite suitable for people with leg disabilities...

Xu Zhe sat down and started eating immediately; he was starving after an afternoon of classes.

I wonder if Su Nan caught up with Bei Xiaoyu in time. If she didn't, Bei Xiaoyu must have bought too much food; will the two of them be able to finish it?

Thinking of this, Xu Zhe sent them WeChat messages while munching on his food.

"Eating properly has led to such a bad habit."

Xu Zhengxi's voice came from the side.

Xu Zhe was annoyed that he had been lectured again.

"You dog of a man."

She muttered something under her breath, then angrily put down her phone and continued eating.

Xu Zhengxi raised an eyebrow; he had heard it.

He was so angry that he laughed instead of admitting that he was becoming more rebellious as he got older.

I was thinking of giving her a good talking-to, but then I remembered the scene of her being bullied by the department head at school, and I couldn't bear to scold her anymore.

Butler Zhou stood aside, his heart pounding in his chest.

Miss Zhe is becoming more and more outrageous.

Aunt Lin had reported to him that he had sworn at the young master in the hospital and refused to go home after being discharged.

Now, directly insulting the young master to his face, calling him a dog... a man, Butler Zhou was so nervous that his hands and feet went numb.

He only felt a little relieved after the young master and Miss Zhe finished their meal.

Watching Xu Zhengxi carry Xu Zhe away from the restaurant, Butler Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Recalling the young master's restrained demeanor, he shook his head and smiled.

Xu Zhe was being carried horizontally by Xu Zhengxi, and this time she dared to put her arms around his neck.

There's no need to make yourself uncomfortable because of a jerk.

Xu Zhengxi smiled slightly, tightened her grip on his arm, and strode towards the master bedroom.

"Why didn't you take me back to my room?" Xu Zhe asked.

“No accessible facilities have been installed,” Xu Zhengxi replied.

Xu Zhe was speechless. Wasn't this accessibility facility recently installed? Why couldn't it be installed in her room?

Aren't you worried that Jiang Shuning will ask you why you're pretending to be like this...?

Who is Jiang Shuning?

She blurted it out; thinking of this person, she acted impulsively and didn't care about anything else.

Xu Zhengxi carried her to the sofa in the living room, placed a cushion behind her, and then squatted down to be at eye level with her.

"Is your recent temper tantrum due to this issue?"

Xu Zhe frowned in annoyance. If you're going to answer, then answer; if you're not going to answer, then don't answer. Why beat around the bush?

What a scoundrel!

Xu Zhengxi reached out and ruffled her hair: "Don't be angry anymore, you're not important."

Her tone was gentle, but to Xu Zhe it sounded like she was casually coaxing a kitten or puppy.

With his hand gestures, it looks even more like him!

Can unimportant people climb Nanshan Mountain together and attend a family banquet?

Why didn't you go with Leung Siu-lok?!

What a scoundrel!

Xu Zhe frowned, his impatience reaching its peak:

"If you want to get married, you can tell me."

"I can finish my studies on my own, or I can go out and work. I don't necessarily have to be with you!"

Xu Zhengxi stopped rubbing his hair, his eyes filled with intense, unfathomable emotions.

Xu Zhe didn't say anything more, and the two remained at an impasse once again.

One sits, one stands.

One stares defiantly ahead, while the other's eyes are fixed on that same stubborn person.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Zhengxi's voice came from above:

"I have no intention of getting married."

After saying that, he bent down, picked up Xu Zhe from the sofa, and walked towards the bathroom.
