Chapter 135 It’s as if… I didn’t see her at all (This chapter is a new chapter)
Tu Yan in the kitchen seemed to hear the noise and asked with concern: "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"
Zhuang Xiao raised his voice and answered, "Nothing! I was sending a message to Jiang Wei!"
"It's vacation time now, stop working." Tu Yan's voice was getting closer and closer, "Breakfast is ready, come and eat."
As Tu Yan's voice sounded, No. 23 disappeared again. Zhuang Xiao drank the milk in one gulp, rinsed it, put it away, and sat down at the dining table.
Tu Yan helped Zhuang Xiao spread jam on the toasted bread slices while mumbling, "Early in the morning, your husband is busy with housework so hard, and you didn't even say a word of praise to me. You just remembered to send work information..."
Zhuang Xiao listened to his sour words, sighed secretly, and decisively raised his hand to grab Tu Yan's collar, and the latter was easily pulled over.
Gladly accept the warm kiss.
"Thank you for your hard work, Tu Tu." Zhuang Xiao praised with a smile.
"That's good enough." Tu Yan was satisfied.
Before he could even finish his breakfast, Zhuang Xiao witnessed the power of fate.
Just as Tu Yan finished talking about Zhuang Xiao, his cell phone rang. He looked up and met Zhuang Xiao's mischievous eyes. Tu Yan immediately stated, "It's not a work call."
As he spoke, Tu Yan answered the phone and turned on the speaker. You Junzheng's voice came out, "Tu Xiaoyan! Let's get together tomorrow. Li Fan is returning to China tomorrow!"
Zhuang Xiao stopped chewing, his eyes unconsciously looked at Tu Yan, and then quickly returned to the plate.
Tu Yan did not notice Zhuang Xiao's slight abnormality, and responded to You Junzheng calmly, "When?"
"The flight will arrive in City A tomorrow afternoon." You Junzheng's voice sounded a little distorted.
Tu Yan took a sip of milk and asked, "Don't you give her a break?"
"After not seeing her for so many years, I thought she was going to live with lizards in the desert. After a while, I guess she will devote herself to her career of 'benefiting all mankind'. We must hurry up and get together." You Junzheng said in a louder voice, "Don't say you don't have time. Haven't you returned to China? By the way, congratulations, my buddy has become the richest man."
Tu Yan glanced at Zhuang Xiao and said half-seriously, "I finally have time to spend time with my wife, who would be happy to see you?"
"What do you call this? A hero's breath is short, and a young man's love is long?" You Junzheng couldn't help but shushed him, "Don't be so clingy in front of me. I can't stand it."
"Anyway, I've informed you, remember to come." You Junzheng added, "By the way, remember to bring your wife along. You're so anxious to get married that I almost couldn't catch my breath. Li Fan was chasing after a herd of elephants in the grassland and didn't make it back in time."
"Li Fanke said that this meal was invited for my sister-in-law's sake, otherwise she wouldn't even want to see us." You Junzheng said with a smile, "She was so curious that she wanted to see who could take you in."
Not to mention Li Fan, even You Junzheng and the others couldn't help but be curious after seeing Tu Yan's attitude as a good husband. How did Zhuang Xiao do it?
A fierce tiger, once in her hands, became as docile as a kitten.
Especially those married ones, whose careers were already lagging behind, and now after being compared like this, they are worthless not only in the eyes of their parents, but also in the eyes of their wives.
"What do you know? This is what we call a perfect match. My wife is very capable." Tu Yan smiled when he heard this and blinked mischievously at Zhuang Xiao.
"No, no, no..." You Junzheng couldn't stand his words, "I won't eat your dog food, I'm dead!"
Tu Yan looked at the hung up phone, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Zhuang Xiao, "How is it, wife? Can you please do me a favor?"
Zhuang Xiao nodded. This was the only way.
After breakfast, Zhuang Xiao, with a heavy heart, ruthlessly rejected Tu Yan's request and went into the studio alone.
Sitting in front of the unfinished painting, Zhuang Xiao had no intention of painting. He was thinking about what No. 23 said and the phone call from You Junzheng just now, and his mind was in a mess.
But no matter how chaotic it was, there was one thing she could clearly realize: she liked Tu Yan.
But at the same time, she knew more clearly that feelings, especially love, are only a small part of life.
Thinking of what No. 23 said, Zhuang Xiao couldn't help feeling uneasy. She really didn't have many cards to fight back. Compared to No. 23's almost omniscient God's perspective, she knew too little information.
Zhuang Xiao held a small drawing board and curled up on the small sofa in front of the window. He drew sketches for the whole morning, but in the end he still couldn't figure out anything. He decided to take it one step at a time.
The date for Li Fan to return to China arrived as scheduled. When Zhuang Xiao went into the cloakroom to change clothes, he was distracted for a while, thinking that today would be a very dramatic "new love and old love" face-to-face confrontation. Should he dress up and attend the event?
After this thought flashed through his mind, Zhuang Xiao laughed, shook his head, and felt that he was really alive again, and grabbed a set of clothes at random.
However, after Tu Yan looked at her blue suit, he took out a set of aquamarine brooches and cufflinks from the cabinet and put them on slowly.
Zhuang Xiao looked at Tu Yan in the mirror and couldn't help asking, "You wear formal clothes even at a gathering with friends?"
Tu Yan lowered his head and glanced at himself, "No."
Zhuang Xiao looked at Tu Yan, who was wearing a black wool suit and a white shirt. Isn't this him?
Finally, his eyes fell on Tu Yan's slightly open shirt collar and missing tie, as well as the suit with less sharp shoulder lines. Well, it turned out that this was already casual wear.
Tu Yan understood Zhuang Xiao's meaning and asked, "Do you think it's too serious?"
"No." Zhuang Xiao thought about it. This is indeed Tu Yan's style. "Very handsome."
Tu Yan was satisfied. He put on his cufflinks and leaned over to give her a kiss.
Then he put the brooch in Zhuang Xiao's hand, straightened his chest, and motioned Zhuang Xiao to put it on him.
The two of them went to the agreed private club, which was also the place run by You Junzheng. As soon as they arrived at the door, the manager welcomed them into the private room.
There were already seven or eight people sitting in the private room, all of them familiar faces. When they saw Tu Yan and Zhuang Xiao, they all looked over, especially You Junzheng, who shouted the loudest, "You're too unenthusiastic. You're the last one to arrive. I thought you weren't coming!"
Tu Yan snorted lightly and said in a firm tone, "I am very punctual. It's exactly six o'clock now." He raised his wrist and the pointer landed exactly on twelve.
"Alright, alright!" You Junzheng couldn't stand it any longer. "I know you're the most punctual, okay?"
"Tu Yan is like a virgin, very hard to invite." You Junzheng said, striding over, reaching out to grab Tu Yan's shoulders, pulling him into the crowd, "Or maybe it's because Li Fan has a lot of face, she came back, and invited you, a big Buddha..."
You Junzheng was still in his style of talking nonsense, but Zhuang Xiao, standing aside, felt a sense of weirdness. You Junzheng was actually a man of finesse. Even if he was teasing Tu Yan on purpose, he should have known better and would not say that in front of him.
And since the two of them came in, You Junzheng only talked to Tu Yan, as if... he didn't see her at all.
