Xia Xi put her phone back into her pocket, and Zhou Du just walked in front of her.
Zhou Du rarely got up so early. He was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. He had sunglasses on his nose. He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he yawned.
"I told you not to come to the airport to pick me up." Xia Xi glanced at his face. She knew without looking that there were two big dark circles under his eyes behind his sunglasses, and maybe even red bloodshot.
Zhou Du waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.
He pulled down his pants with both hands and squatted down, opening his arms to greet the two children: "It's been a while since we last met, don't you recognize me?"
Ziheng called out modestly, "Godfather."
Youyou threw herself directly into his arms, hugged his neck and acted coquettishly: "Godfather, I missed you so much!"
"Tsk tsk, your little mouth looks like it's been smeared with honey." Zhou Du chuckled and picked up the little girl. "You must have gained weight. Why are you heavier than last time?"
Youyou pouted and said unhappily, "Godfather, don't call girls fat. I'm called cute."
"Okay, godfather was wrong." Zhou Du apologized to her and praised her again, "Our Youyou is the cutest."
Huang Shiyu quietly studied Zhou Du for a long time. Since she could only see the lower half of his face, she wasn't sure. She gently tugged at Xia Xi's sleeve, covering her lips with her hands, and whispered, "Is he that Zhou Du? The internet celebrity?"
Zhou Du is very famous, so it's not surprising that he was recognized.
Xia Xi smiled and nodded: "He is."
Huang Shiyu blinked a few times, and for a moment she found it a little unbelievable that she actually met a multi-million dollar internet celebrity in real life.
Zhou Du held Youyou in one hand and Ziheng in the other. He turned and glanced at Xia Xi: "You guys are just staying at my place?"
"No, I booked a hotel." Xia Xi said.
"Well, why book a hotel when you come to North City? My house is big enough for you."
"My workplace is a bit far from yours, and I brought an assistant with me." Having said that, Xia Xi introduced Huang Shiyu to him.
Zhou Du nodded towards them as a greeting.
"Alright." Zhou Du took lazy steps, not forcing Xia Xi. "I've booked a restaurant. I'll take you to the hotel first. You can rest for a while and then have lunch together."
Xia Xi had no objection.
Zhou Du's assistant was in charge of driving. Considering that there were so many people, they drove a seven-seater commercial vehicle.
Zhou Du sat in the passenger seat, Xia Xi sat in the middle with the two children, and Huang Shiyu sat in the back.
After getting in the car, Zhou Du took off his sunglasses and talked to Xia Xi with half of his body turned sideways. Suddenly, he noticed something. He narrowed his eyes, then suddenly widened them. He looked carefully for a while, as if to confirm it. The corners of his lips moved slightly, and he smiled faintly.
Xia Xi felt uneasy at his smile and said unhappily, "What are you doing? You look so shifty."
Zhou Du seemed to be at a loss for words. He pinched his sunglasses and scratched his head with the temples: "Do you have a new love?"
"I don't understand what you are saying." Xia Xi's face was filled with confusion, and it was not fake.
With the two children present, Zhou Du didn't finish his words. He coughed lightly, sat up straight, and planned to find a suitable time to interrogate Xia Xi later.
Huang Shiyu, who was sitting at the back, probably understood what was said. She lowered her head and typed a line of words on the memo of her mobile phone. She patted Xia Xi's shoulder and handed it to her to read.
Xia Xi lowered her eyes and looked at Huang Shiyu's phone screen, which read "Sister Xi, there is a kiss mark on your neck."
What? A hickey?!
Xia Xi's eyelashes twitched, and she subconsciously touched her neck. She was wearing a low-necked black base shirt today, and her hair was tied up, so her neck was exposed.
She got up in the morning and was busy making porridge for Xu Yanfeng. She also had to rush to the airport. She didn't even have time to put on makeup, so naturally she didn't notice the marks on her neck.
It could only be that Xu Yanfeng did it last night.
*
After settling into the hotel, Xia Xi used concealer to cover up the kiss marks on her neck.
In order to make it easier to take care of the children, Xia Xi booked a suite, and the two children took a nap in the bedroom inside.
In the living room, Zhou Du folded his arms, leaning against the armrest of the sofa, one leg propped up on the ground and the other bent and hanging on the armrest. After Xia Xi finished her work, he asked something that the children in the car might not hear: "Who is your new love?"
Xia Xi had nothing to hide from him, so she said frankly, "No new love, only old love."
Xia Xi's ex-lover was only Xu Yanfeng. Zhou Du, upon hearing this, dropped his nonchalant attitude, sat up straight, and raised his eyebrows: "You and the Xu guy got back together?"
Xia Xi looked at him, was silent for a moment, and told the truth: "No."
Zhou Du raised his upper lip slightly and sneered: "Then you guys are quite extravagant."
Xia Xi: “…”
She had no way to explain, so she pulled the corners of her lips: "It's not what you think."
Zhou Du raised his eyes and raised his chin slightly, with an expression that said "I'd like to hear more."
Xia Xi: "Why have you become so gossipy?"
Zhou Du didn't know that she lived with Xu Yanfeng, and it was difficult to explain the whole story.
"I call this gossip?" Zhou Du retorted, "I'm just concerned about you. Don't be confused about what's good for you."
Besides Xu Yanfeng, the only person Xia Xi owed something to was Zhou Du, who was still being blamed. Feeling guilty, she naturally lowered her posture in front of him.
"He was drunk last night." Xia Xi rubbed his eyelids with his knuckles and looked away.
"Drunk and indecent sex?!"
"No!" Xia Xi denied loudly. After a long while, she sighed and decided to tell him briefly to prevent him from imagining a bunch of nonsense. "He knows that Ziheng is his son. We have been negotiating for a long time about the custody of the child. Finally, we reached an agreement. I agreed to one of his requests. I will live with him for the time being, and we will have nothing to do with each other after the term expires."
