Xia Xingchen and Yu Zenan went to the restaurant on the first floor to have dinner one after another.
Yu Zenan and those other officials were super VIPs of the hotel and were in a separate VIP restaurant. He asked Xia Xingchen to go with him, but she refused. As a result, he just stuck to her and went to the ordinary restaurant with her.
However, as soon as she came in, Xiao Xin gave her a cold look, and she blamed Yu Zenan. It was all because of him, the young master, that she was envied.
Over there, Ruan Qing was waving at her excitedly, "Xingchen, come here! Come and see! You're on the news! And it's on the front page!"
Xia Xingchen was shocked. She had already had the shadow of the last car sex scandal, so she didn't dare to neglect it this time and went over it immediately.
Apart from her relationship with Bai Yeqing, why else could she have made the headlines
Yu Zenan also followed curiously.
Xia Xingchen sat down next to Ruan Qing, who had a laptop in front of him. On the domestic news and gossip section, there were a few clear words in large letters: "Second Young Master Yu has a new girlfriend, Cinderella has landed on the tree." Then there were several large pictures of her and Yu Zenan holding hands at the airport.
Their faces were blurred in the photo, and they were both in profile. But if you know them, you can tell it's them at a glance.
Moreover, this blurred effect makes the two people look very ambiguous. Especially the moment when he raised his hand to touch her wound, it was captured very intimately, clearly a couple in love.
"Xingchen, you and the Second Young Master are really a perfect match~" Ruan Qing couldn't help but sigh. He kept sliding his mouse on the webpage, looking at the comments, shaking his head, "However, the comments below are all from people who are just sour grapes. They are really ugly."
There are many trolls on the Internet, and Xia Xingchen has long experienced this.
Second Young Master Yu took a sip of his coffee and stood behind them, watching with a smile: "The photo is quite romantic. Which paparazzi took this?"
Xia Xingchen sensitively turned her head and stared at him, "You didn't do that, did you?"
Yu Zenan hadn't thought about it that way, but when she said that, his face froze. Could it be...his brother again
"Is it really you?!" Xia Xingchen caught the momentary stiffness on his face.
"Hey! It's unfair! Why should I take a photo with you? You're not a big star. Besides..." Second Young Master Yu put down his coffee and raised his chin proudly, "I am a popular topic. Whenever I go out, there are paparazzi following me. What's so strange about being photographed?"
This is not wrong. Since he returned to China some time ago, he has automatically become a media darling. Whether he is with a woman or a man, if he gets a little closer, he will be caught in the wind.
This time, he was probably targeted by the paparazzi.
Xia Xingchen subconsciously thought of someone in China. Did he read the news? What would he think? But... he was so busy, he might not really have time to pay attention to these gossips, right
Although she thought so, she still felt uneasy. She wanted to call, but she didn't have a phone card for Country Y. So she stood up and said, "You guys chat, I'll go to the front desk to buy a card."
After that, she hurried to the front desk without even eating breakfast. Behind her, Yu Zenan looked at her back with deep eyes.
Xia Xingchen bought a phone card from Country Y, turned on her phone, inserted the phone card, and automatically connected to the mobile network. Then she was reminded that she had received several new emails (the emails were not messages, please read carefully). She was worried that they were about work, so she opened the emails first.
The email popped up, and she was stunned, her mind a little hazy. The first email was not about work, but a series of photos.
In the first photo, the Bai family and the Lan family are sitting together, looking very harmonious.
In the second photo, he and Lan Ye are walking along the riverside...
In the third photo, he opened the door like a gentleman and invited Lan Ye to get in the car...
In the end…
Xia Xingchen's breathing became tense. The phone felt slightly hot in her palm, but she felt cold all over.
For a long time, he just stood there in a daze, staring at the last photo without blinking - in the photo, Lan Ye tiptoed and gently kissed him on the cheek. The wind blew her hair and lifted his sleeves. In the cold winter, that scene looked so warm.
The chill rose from the soles of her feet, and then moved into her chest. Her chest ached, as if she had been punched without warning, and it was so stuffy that she found it difficult to breathe.
Before she could come to her senses, her phone was pulled away from behind by a hand. Yu Zenan was also stunned for a moment when he looked at the photos, and then he looked at her and said, "Is this why you asked me about Lan Ye?"
"..." Xia Xingchen didn't reply, but just spread her hand in front of him and asked him to return the phone to her.
"It might be synthetic. Let me help you check it." Yu Zenan carefully distinguished it, and then... fell silent. He looked at her worriedly and said nothing. Without asking, she understood that it was obviously not synthetic...
Yu Zenan returned the phone to her, took her hand and walked towards the restaurant. "Anyway, let's go have breakfast first. Today is work all day long. You are my translator, so don't complain and affect my mood."
Xia Xingchen was pushed back to the chair in the restaurant by Yu Zenan, who went to prepare breakfast.
Ruan Qing looked at her gloomy and distraught expression and felt a little strange. "Xingchen, are you unhappy about the news just now?"
Xia Xingchen's eyelashes trembled slightly and she shook her head, "No..."
Now it seems that the call I wanted to make just now was not necessary...
"Don't be upset. Many people want to have some relationship with the Second Young Master, but they can't count on it. Look, the Second Young Master is so good to you. He didn't take the first class cabin just to spend a few more hours with you. He didn't even go to the high-end VIP restaurant. Instead, he served you tea and water here. No wonder Xiao Xin is jealous. I am jealous too."
Ruan Qing's words rang in his ears, but Xia Xingchen didn't hear a word of them. He just sat there, silent.
She originally thought that he would never be with Lan Ye...
In the end, I was thinking wrong...
Yu Zenan brought breakfast over and placed it directly in front of her, "Eat it all, and take the medicine half an hour after that."
Xia Xingchen mechanically took the cutlery and bit the croissant mechanically. It was obviously sweet ketchup, but when she tasted it in her mouth, she only tasted bitterness.
Very bitter, very bitter...
Yu Zenan also ate with her. However, his eyes kept wandering towards her from time to time. His eyes were full of worry.
It has been said that these people are destined to have political marriages. After one Song Weiyi left, there are still ten Song Weiyi waiting. Why didn't she understand and foolishly put herself in it? So, if she announced to everyone that she was the daughter of Madam Lanting, would everything be different
