Chapter 46: Let’s Talk About It as a Love Story
Ye Jing was also at the dinner, following Jiang Yushan. Seeing Chen Zhan, she enthusiastically took her hand and said, "Miss Chen, nice to meet you again."
The waiter pulled out the table and chair next to Zhou Jingyu, and Chen Zan sat down.
Chen Zan was curious about the protagonist of the evening, so Ye Jing pointed at the young man next to Wei Qiming and said, "That's him, the youngest from the third branch of the Xie family, named Xie Huaiqian. I heard that someone in the Xie family passed away some time ago, so Xie Huaiqian was sent back to Rongchuan to offer the eternal lamp. He just returned from the ceremony at Puzhao Temple this afternoon."
Chen Zan thought, it turned out to be him.
That means they are right.
However, although Xie Huaiqian is handsome, he seems to be a few years younger than Zhou Jingyu. Why would his mother show such an evasive expression when she sees him?
Perhaps it was because Chen Zan's gaze was too direct that Xie Huaiqian found it difficult to ignore it, so he looked up and nodded slightly as a greeting.
Xie Huaiqian knew this person. Before she came, Third Brother Jiang had already told him that there was a female student following his second uncle.
So he deliberately said, "Second Uncle, would you like to introduce me?"
Zhou Jingyu did not hesitate to declare his sovereignty in front of everyone.
Wei Qiming stepped forward and said, "Miss Chen, this glass of wine is in your honor. I apologize for my son's misbehavior some time ago."
Wei Qiming is a very capable person. He is the man who has the final say in Rongchuan. But when he apologized to a female student, it was unclear whether he thought highly of the student or whether Wei Qiming was flexible.
But in fact, when he spoke, he was also looking at Zhou Jingyu, so it was self-evident who he was apologizing to.
Chen Zan also subconsciously looked at Zhou Jingyu.
So this was the surprise he gave her?
No wonder she had to come.
Zhou Jingyu's face was cold and expressionless. Although he couldn't bring down the Wei family yet, he still had the ability to make them apologize to her.
Without looking at Wei Qiming, he squeezed her wrist and said in a gentle and casual tone, "Drink if you want to. It's okay if you don't."
This is clearly an attempt to support Chen Zan and give Chen Zan enough face.
Chen Zan couldn't describe what she felt at the moment, but she knew that her heart was moved.
Wei Qiming felt a little embarrassed.
Xie Huaiqian and Jiang Yushan also found this scene interesting, and they both felt like they were watching a play.
Finally, Chen Zan raised the wine glass in front of him and took a sip, which served as a way to step down, and the atmosphere finally eased.
Chen Zan had already eaten in the evening, so she planned to pretend to be at the dinner table. Zhou Jingyu was very casual in such occasions. He listened to those people talking slowly and rarely spoke, but from time to time he would use the public chopsticks to pick up some dishes and put them in her bowl.
I didn't tell her how much to eat, but if she thought it tasted good, I would let her try it.
As a result, Chen Zan ate more and more, with her cheeks bulging as she chewed. The more Zhou Jingyu looked at her, the more he thought she was an interesting girl.
He even wiped the juice from the corner of her mouth with a tissue without paying attention to the people around. Chen Zhan was too familiar with those dark eyes that were getting darker. If there weren't so many people around, he would have kissed her.
Chen Zhan tilted his head awkwardly, tugged at his clothes and whispered, "Mr. Zhou, please stop caring about me. I'm really full."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jingyu pinched her wrist and chuckled softly, and then he stopped picking up food for her.
Ye Jing watched all of this unfold from the side. When they went to the bathroom together, she couldn't help but say, "Chen Zan, Mr. Zhou is really good to you."
Chen Zan lowered his head, and his eyelashes fluttered unnaturally when he heard that.
Is Zhou Jingyu good to her?
Thinking about it carefully, he treated her gently and politely, and gave her enough face. He even offended Wei Qiming for her and supported her at the dinner table. If she didn't drink that glass of wine, he would just let her do as she pleased.
Apart from the beginning when he forced her to walk towards him, whether it was when he delivered shoes to her after the art exhibition or when she was sent to his bed, he was able to stop in time to avoid hurting her in the midst of passion. Chen Zan was a heartless man and had never been in a relationship, but he had seen how Jiang Yushan and Ye Jing got along.
Zhou Jingyu really treated her differently.
He hummed softly, "Mr. Zhou is fine."
Ye Jing smiled and said, "There aren't many gentlemen like Mr. Zhou in their circle. I can see that he treats you differently. It's hard to get into a family like theirs, but you're young, Zhanzhan, and Mr. Zhou isn't married and doesn't have a fiancée. Why don't you just treat this like a love relationship?"
In fact, during these two contacts, Ye Jing could also feel that Chen Zan was different from the people in their circle. She learned indirectly from Jiang Yushan that Mr. Zhou had used some means to get her, and that she even had some relationship with the young master of the Wei family.
Instead of feeling awkward, it’s better to be open-minded.
Who doesn’t have two romances when they are young?
He has the capital to try and make mistakes when he is young, and that is Zhou Jingyu. No matter what the outcome is, Chen Zan will not suffer any loss.
Ye Jing's words woke her up. She did feel uncomfortable before. Her education did not allow her to be someone's lover. But if she unilaterally regarded the time she spent with Zhou Jingyu as a love relationship, it seemed that it would be more convincing for her.
But for this relationship, she needs to set a time limit.
Chen Zan looked at Ye Jing and smiled brightly. His eyes, which were as cold and clear as the mist in a cold pond, became refreshed and bright as if the ice and snow melted. His already beautiful facial features became even more radiant and charming.
She is so beautiful, no wonder Mr. Zhou loves her so much.
This was the only thought in Ye Jing's mind at the time.
When I returned to the box, I met Xie Huaiqian outside.
"Second Aunt?" Xie Huaiqian called out deliberately.
Perhaps she didn't expect him to call her like that, Chen Zhan's face suddenly flushed and her heart beat fast, "Mr. Xie, just call me by my name."
Xie Huaiqian looked at the blush on her face. He didn't expect that the person his second uncle found was so innocent. It was really interesting.
"Then don't be polite. Don't call me 'Sir'. Call me Xie Huaiqian." Xie Huaiqian didn't have the airs of Jiang Yushan, nor the unattainable nobility of Zhou Jingyu. Instead, he seemed approachable. "You kept looking at me in the box just now. Can I ask why?"
Of course, speaking is not ordinary straightforward.
Chen Zan was a little embarrassed. She couldn't say that she was looking to see if he looked like her. After all, Ms. Xu's behavior in Puzhao Temple today was too abnormal. Later, she thought that Xie Huaiqian was not the right age and there was no similarity in appearance, so she gave up the idea.
So he said with a stiff upper lip: "I think you look good."
Xie Huaiqian laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Is he more handsome than Second Uncle?"
