Chapter 78 A good horse doesn't eat the grass it has already grazed.
Faint voices could be heard coming from the other side of the door.
Why hasn't my mom arrived yet?
"With me by your side, what do you need anyone else for?"
"Dad, could you please stop leaning against the door before you say that?"
"I'm just checking if this door is secure."
Wen Yu waited outside the door for a while, listening to the sounds coming from inside. The next second, she pushed the door open from the outside.
The room was next to the door. The man standing at the door was momentarily caught off guard and lost his support, almost falling. Fortunately, he stumbled and managed to save himself.
Wen Yu bypassed the man and looked directly at the girl in the room.
Xia Zhen cried out "Ouch!" and collapsed onto the bed, rolling around in pain. "My head hurts so much!"
Wen Yu smiled slightly, "You're touching my belly."
Xia Zhen raised her hands to hold her head again, completely unfazed, continuing her exaggerated acting, "My head hurts so much!"
Wen Yu didn't spare any glance for the man over there. She slowly walked over, her eyes upturned, and the small beauty mark under her eye took on a different kind of charm. "How does it hurt?"
"It feels like there are two little people fighting in my head!" Xia Zhen sobbed. "One of them is saying it will make me suffer terribly and I won't be able to sleep tonight!"
Wen Yu asked, "Where is the other little man?"
"Another little person chimed in, saying, 'Yes, yes!'"
Wen Yu crossed her arms and looked at the girl on the bed pretending with great interest. "If you weren't my daughter, your acting skills alone would be enough for me to give you a good scolding."
Xia Zhen looked up with teary eyes, "Then, Mom, will you scold me?"
Wen Yu smiled leisurely: "I wouldn't scold you, but you've been complaining of a headache, haven't you? I happen to know a great neurosurgeon. I heard he's never failed at craniotomy..."
"I'm all done, Mom, goodbye!" Xia Zhen nimbly got out of bed and ran straight out of the room, closing the door behind her.
Only a man and a woman remained in the room.
Xia Yu straightened his back and casually adjusted his suit jacket. Even though there was a beautiful woman standing in the room, he had no interest in giving her a second glance.
Wen Yu had no interest in giving him another glance. She walked to the door in her high heels, and the moment her hand touched the doorknob, the man, who had been pretending to be casual, couldn't stay so and grabbed her hand in an instant.
Wen Yu looked up.
Xia Yu's hands were stiff, his face was tense, and his gaze was fixed on the woman's face. He seemed extremely nervous, but the first thing he said was, "My company is currently interested in getting involved in the film and television industry."
"so?"
"From a commercial perspective, the head of the film and television department said you are the best candidate to star in our first production."
Yes, this is purely for commercial reasons and has nothing to do with personal feelings.
Even the film and television department he mentioned doesn't even have an office yet.
Wen Yu smiled knowingly, "Is President Xia planning to sexually harass me?"
The words "unspoken rules" made Xia Yu's throat tighten.
Wen Yu smiled radiantly, her beautiful eyes filled with amusement, as if the man before her was merely a plaything for her amusement.
Why is it that she can mess up his emotions, yet she can still stand here so calmly and watch him make a fool of himself?
Xia Yu lowered his eyes slightly, grabbed the woman's hand, and pinned her against the door. His tall figure made the woman feel as if she were trapped in his arms.
This man is releasing a lot of pressure.
However, she still leaned lazily against the door, her eyes, brimming with autumn water, slightly raised, as if waiting for him to put on some good show.
He bent down and said, "So what if I wanted to use underhanded tactics?"
"President Xia." Wen Yu gently placed one hand on the man's chest and then on his shoulder. She stood on tiptoe and brought her red lips close to his ear.
The woman's warm breath fell on his skin, making his very soul tremble.
She chuckled, "A good horse doesn't eat the grass it has already grazed."
The next second, he was pushed away by the woman without any mercy.
The door opened, and a moment later, her figure disappeared.
Xia Yu wearily raised his hand and covered his eyes. This man, who often seemed aloof and cold, was now just an ordinary person among the masses, experiencing the frustration of unfulfilled desires.
As for why Xia Yu divorced Wen Yu back then, only the two of them knew the reason; even Old Master Xia couldn't get the answer.
Xia Yu and Wen Yu's marriage was a business arrangement. Although it was an arranged marriage, Wen Yu was a daughter-in-law whom Old Master Xia truly favored. After all, even if Old Master Xia was confused, he would not betray the heir he had personally cultivated.
In fact, Xia Yu and Wen Yu's relationship after marriage was always cold and distant. In the past, Grandpa Xia thought that their relationship would be much better after they had a child, but when Xia Zhen was three years old, they still got divorced.
Wen Yu also changed her previous demeanor as a well-bred lady, becoming flamboyant as if she had been liberated. She also made a name for herself in the entertainment industry, and almost every time she worked with a male actor, rumors would spread about her.
Based on Xia Zhen's observations over the years, her mother truly has a vast ocean in her heart, while her father still harbors feelings for her. However, it will be difficult for her father to win back her mother!
Xia Zhen was a mature daughter. She knew she needed to give her parents some alone time, so she wandered around the yard with a small cake in her hand. As fate would have it, she spotted a familiar figure in the distance.
The moonlight was bright and clear, and the shadows of the trees swayed gently.
A handsome young man is taking off his coat and draping it over a girl wearing a dress.
The latter blushed, looking flustered and helpless, which was quite adorable.
It's Tang Susu.
Xia Zhen didn't recognize the boy, but given his outstanding appearance, he must be someone important.
Xia Zhen didn't intend to disturb Tang Susu and the strange boy. Just as she was about to leave, she caught a glimpse of another figure out of the corner of her eye.
Song Heng stood in the shadow of the tree, the moonlight filtering through the leaves and dappling his body, adding to his loneliness.
His gaze was indifferent, and seemed to conceal a chill.
Xia Zhen took a step to the left, and his gaze followed her.
She took another step to the right, and his gaze followed her again.
Xia Zhen glanced at Tang Susu, then looked at Song Heng, her brows furrowing.
That's strange!
Why is this person looking at Tang Susu instead of Tang Susu?
