Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 631: The Zhan Family’s Son Comes of Age
"No," Xia Luo shook her head, "I’m not afraid that you’ll poison the water. If you wanted to kill us, you would have done it long ago, why bother being the murderer yourself? I’m just surprised; no one has ever poured water for me before. I’ve schemed against you, so why are you being so nice to me?"
Zhan Yunxiao lowered his gaze.
He remembered how she ate when she was little, always slowly and with particular elegance, constantly mindful of her words and actions, fearing others would say she lacked the grace of a Zhan Family young lady.
In fact, both he and she knew she wasn’t his father Zhan Hanjue’s child.
Yet, she wanted to be a child of his father, and she didn’t want others to remember this fact.
So she worked doubly hard, hoping to become a true heiress, not to be looked down upon.
But looking at her now, gobbling her food, where was the elegance of the past?
Zhan Yunxiao felt sorry for her.
Listening to her words, he paused for a moment and murmured, "I had a sister about your age. Unfortunately, she met with an accident and died. Seeing you reminds me of her, so I wanted to be nice to you. By the way, you look very much like her, which is also why I’m kind to you."
"I wouldn’t happen to be that sister, would I? I’m an orphan too," Xia Luo asked excitedly.
Zhan Yunxiao said, "I told you, she died, so how could you be her? You just look like her, and seeing you reminds me of her, so I wanted to be good to you, as if... being good to her."
"I can’t believe I’m so lucky to encounter such a good thing; thank my parents for giving me this face," Xia Luo said, smiling and touching her face.
Zhan Yunxiao curled his lips.
Soon, the hotel delivered food.
Zhan Yunxiao took it and placed it on the table.
There was steak, pasta, some Chinese food, crab, braised pork, vegetable salad, and some snacks.
Since Zhan Yunxiao didn’t specify what to send, just asked the hotel for some home-style dishes, this is what they brought.
"It doesn’t seem quite right for a meal," Zhan Yunxiao said awkwardly.
"Wow, so much variety."
Xia Luo and Xia Tian’s eyes lit up; they quickly ran over and exclaimed together at the sight of the feast laid out.
Hearing Zhan Yunxiao’s words, Xia Luo immediately rolled her eyes at him, "In your opinion, what counts as a real meal?"
Zhan Yunxiao thought about it — some rice and dishes, preferring something lighter.
He was about to tell them, but the two of them couldn’t wait any longer; they sat down, grabbed chopsticks, and started eating.
They both gobbled down their food.
Zhan Yunxiao’s eyes widened, watching them in shock and fear, worried they might choke themselves.
Fortunately, they finished all the delicious dishes on the table without choking.
But they almost ate themselves to death.
They got up, clutching their waists and rubbing their bellies, and flopped onto the sofa, unable to move.
"No, no, I’m going to burst."
"I’m going to burst too."
Xia Luo and Xia Tian exchanged glances, sighed, and closed their eyes to digest.
Zhan Yunxiao also sighed, looking at the mess on the table, not wanting to clean up.
But seeing the two of them seemed unlikely to tidy up, if he didn’t clean, it’d probably start to smell.
So he reluctantly walked over, grabbed the trash can, cleaned up the leftovers on the table, and took them to the door to remove later.
"You two rest first; I’m leaving now. Call me if you need anything," Zhan Yunxiao said.
"How would we know your phone number? Besides, we don’t even have a phone," Xia Luo said.
"You don’t have a phone?" Zhan Yunxiao was astonished.
In this day and age, she doesn’t even have a phone?
"What’s wrong with not having a phone? Is it that strange? Isn’t it because your people caught me and broke my only lousy phone, so I have no phone to use now," Xia Luo complained.
Zhan Yunxiao was embarrassed; apparently, it was Yan Yu who broke her phone when capturing her.
"I’ll have someone send you a phone later. Also, remember my phone number."
Zhan Yunxiao told her his number and called for a new phone to be sent over.
Xia Luo puzzledly asked, "Why are you being so nice to me?"
Giving her a place to stay, buying her food, and even sending her a phone.
"I told you, you look like my sister, so you don’t need to stress about it, just accept my kindness," Zhan Yunxiao said.
"Did you do something wrong to your sister, so you’re trying to make up for it?"
Xia Luo had to be quite smart to see that.
Zhan Yunxiao gazed deeply at her.
Seeing his look, Xia Luo felt uneasy and hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, I won’t ask anymore, you better leave!"
Zhan Yunxiao left, and soon a phone was delivered to her.
As Xia Luo was fiddling with the phone, it suddenly rang, startling her.
Seeing it was an unfamiliar number, she answered, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"If I’m calling your phone, I’m looking for you."
It was Zhan Yunxiao’s voice.
Xia Luo asked in surprise, "How do you know my phone number?"
"I gave you the phone, of course, I know."
"Oh, so that’s why. Then why are you calling me?" Xia Luo asked again.
"No reason, just so you remember my phone number, save it. You can call me if you have trouble," Zhan Yunxiao said.
"Can I contact you for anything?" Xia Luo asked, smiling.
Zhan Yunxiao thought of saying, of course, only important issues, but the thought of the hardships she’d faced made him swallow his words and say quietly, "Yes, you can."
"Okay, I’ll remember," Xia Luo happily hung up.
Zhan Yunxiao curled his lips, feeling a bit of warmth inside.
When he was little, he really liked Xiaxia.
This affection was somewhat inexplicable, yet it was the warmest memory of his childhood.
Apart from his family, Xiaxia was the one he interacted with the most.
After Xiaxia went missing, he was upset for a long time and found it hard to let anyone in afterward.
Thankfully, she was still there, thankfully he hadn’t lost her.
Now, he was determined to properly repay her.
To protect her well and never let her be hurt again.
However, he didn’t expect Xiaxia to call him in the middle of the night.
"What’s wrong?"
"Come quickly, something scary came to the house, I’m scared," Xia Luo shouted over the phone.
"Hold on, I’m on my way," Zhan Yunxiao immediately reassured her, hurriedly exiting while making the call.
He drove swiftly to Xia Luo’s apartment.
Driving so fast nearly caused an accident on the way, but fortunately, it was late and the roads were quiet, allowing him to reach the apartment quickly and safely.
He burst into Xia Luo’s room, expecting to find a horrific scene. Instead, he found her peacefully asleep in bed, sleeping soundly.
