Chapter 139 Our Fate is Destined
Tu Yan looked at the beautiful figure in the flower garden from afar and felt warm in his heart. The dark clouds lingering in his heart were unconsciously dispelled.
"Xiaoxiao!"
Zhuang Xiao looked up, met Tu Yan's eyes across half the garden, and smiled.
Tu Yan walked over quickly, and the servants tactfully left, leaving only the couple.
"Why are you doing this at this time..." Before Zhuang Xiao could finish his words, he was embraced by a pair of strong arms and held tightly without any leakage.
"I miss you." Tu Yan rubbed the top of Zhuang Xiao's head with a tender tone.
Zhuang Xiao smiled and let him hold her for a long time before patting his back. "Okay, let others laugh at you."
Tu Yan muttered, "It's just the two of us, who would laugh at us..." But he saw that the servants had all left the garden.
"Cough cough cough!" Before Tu Yan could finish his words, a regular and heavy coughing sound came from the small courtyard.
Tu Yan was stunned. Zhuang Xiao got out of his arms and placed the trimmed branches on the glass table. He said softly, "I told you to laugh at me. He just does whatever he wants."
Jiang Wei stood up with an awkward smile on her face, "No, no, seeing how good your relationship is, I'm really envious, but I'm just so full of dog food."
Seeing Jiang Wei, Tu Yan cleared his throat, stood up straight, and regained his serious appearance. He said to himself: "This is how husband and wife get along with each other. This is the secret to keeping a marriage fresh. Little surprises from time to time, you will know in the future."
Jiang Wei cooperated and said, "Then I will take a note in my notebook. Thank you, Mr. Tu, for your guidance."
Even Zhuang Xiao could tell that Jiang Wei was joking, but Tu Yan said seriously, "You're welcome."
Zhuang Xiao cut a dozen more branches, put down the scissors, and said to Jiang Wei, "I'll go get the paper to wrap the flowers, and bring you some nutrient solution."
Jiang Wei hurriedly asked, "Can I help you?"
Zhuang Xiao waved his hand to refuse and went into the house alone.
Tu Yan looked at the flowers on the glass table, something flashed through his mind, and he looked at Jiang Wei, "Why are you here today? Isn't Xiaoxiao's art exhibition being held for the next three days? Isn't today the last day?"
Tu Yan even took a day off to accompany Zhuang Xiao to attend the opening ceremony. It was not surprising that Zhuang Xiao did not attend the subsequent art exhibition, but Jiang Wei should have been there throughout.
When Jiang Wei mentioned this, her smile froze unconsciously. She looked at Tu Yan with a complicated look, and after a long while she said, "You don't know?"
Tu Yan rarely showed a confused expression, "What?"
"The exhibition ended early and the venue has been closed." Jiang Wei thought for a moment and carefully organized her words before she spoke: "Since yesterday afternoon, many people have come to the exhibition hall, including some who were live-streaming. They surrounded the exhibition hall door and it was packed."
"I found out after asking around..." Jiang Wei carefully looked at Tu Yan's face and said nervously, "Negative news about Miss Zhuang is all over the Internet."
"Outside the venue, they were shouting that Miss Zhuang was an artist created by capital, and that she was essentially... essentially uneducated and unskilled, and that she relied on your face to..." Although Jiang Wei had tried to convey her feelings in the gentlest way possible, it was still difficult to say, "They also said, they said that Miss Zhuang was a third party who inserted herself into other people's relationships, and that she was a mistress..."
Jiang Wei couldn't say anything else as she looked at Tu Yan's eyes full of hostility.
The cheerful and relaxed atmosphere was gone. Although she was in a garden with beautiful scenery and lingering fragrance, Jiang Wei felt uneasy and just wanted to escape from this place of trouble as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Zhuang Xiao happened to be coming out of the house with something in her hand. She was unaware of the strange atmosphere... or perhaps she didn't care at all.
He just wrapped the flowers with thick waterproof kraft paper, put the nutrient solution in a bag, and told Jiang Wei, "Just use purified water, change it once a day, and dilute the nutrient solution before adding it. The dilution ratio is written on the package..."
Jiang Wei picked up the bouquet, nodded rapidly, and spoke impatiently, "Then I'll leave first if there's nothing else!"
After saying that, without even waiting for Zhuang Xiao to answer, Jiang Wei grabbed her bag and left quickly.
Zhuang Xiao watched her walk out of the garden, stroked his elbow which was a little cold from the autumn wind, and whispered, "It's windy, come in."
Tu Yan swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and followed her into the room in silence.
As the door closed, he spoke awkwardly, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Zhuang Xiao changed into indoor slippers and said without raising his head, "You know now, don't you?"
Tu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Yesterday... No, you should have told me as soon as you saw it."
Zhuang Xiao walked into the spacious living room and said calmly, "It doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later. The result will be the same."
What Zhuang Xiao said was the fact, a fact that she had calmly accepted.
But Tu Yan was hurt by her calmness. "How can it be the same? Will I watch your hard work being wasted and you being slandered? I will protect you and do my best to safeguard your reputation and career."
"I know." Facing Tu Yan's somewhat excited tone, Zhuang Xiao took a deep breath, turned around, looked back into his eyes, and said seriously, "I know you will."
Tu Yan was slightly stunned, and after a moment he said: "Then why..."
"Because you can't change it." Zhuang Xiao raised a faint smile, "Sometimes, there are things that we have to admit that can't be changed by hard work."
Looking at Zhuang Xiao's relieved and calm smile, Tu Yan felt a dull pain in his chest. He knew that Zhuang Xiao was speaking the truth.
It was the truth that hurt him the most.
Without saying a word, she made her final judgment on him.
Zhuang Xiao looked at the man in front of him with his head down, feeling more frustrated than ever before. His heart softened, and he took Tu Yan's hand and said softly, "It's only half past ten, and it's still working hours. Go back and do your own things. There are a lot of things to do in the company..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhuang Xiao was wrapped in a tight embrace. "It doesn't matter."
"In my heart, you are the most important." Tu Yan's voice was gentle but firm, "Always."
Tu Yan hugged her very tightly, so tightly that Zhuang Xiao could feel his body was sore from the squeezing.
"I know." Zhuang Xiao murmured, her voice so soft that she wasn't even sure if Tu Yan could hear it.
Before she could be overwhelmed, Tu Yan loosened his hands and squeezed Zhuang Xiao's shoulders. His eyes seemed to be burning with two flames. "Wait."
Tu Yan pursed his lips slightly, his expression determined, "I will personally investigate who is behind this. Those who spread rumors and cause trouble will also be held accountable one by one and made to pay the price."
"Most importantly, I want to tell everyone who doubts us how much I love you. Our marriage is the result of my careful planning and my love for you."
"Our fate is destined."
