Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 636: The Zhan Family’s Son Comes of Age
"Hey, mom." Once outside, Zhan Yunxiao answered the phone.
"How did I hear that you’re with a girl?" Ye Ningwan asked directly, without beating around the bush.
Zhan Yunxiao said, "Yeah, but she’s not my girlfriend, we’re just together due to some special reasons, don’t overthink it."
"I don’t want to overthink it either, but the photos someone sent me can’t help but make me overthink." Ye Ningwan said.
"Photos? What photos?" Zhan Yunxiao frowned.
"See for yourself." Ye Ningwan hung up the phone and quickly sent him a photo via WeChat.
Zhan Yunxiao opened it and saw a picture of him kissing Xia Luo.
Xia Luo pulled him into a kiss, who knew someone photographed it and sent it to his parents?
"Son, how do you explain this photo?" Ye Ningwan’s voice message came through.
Zhan Yunxiao replied calmly, "An accident, just an accident."
Soon, Ye Ningwan sent another message, an emoji of a little person with two words on its head—Liar.
"Believe what you will," Zhan Yunxiao replied again, putting his phone away.
When he returned, Xia Luo had already finished eating.
"Can we leave now?" Xia Luo asked.
Zhan Yunxiao nodded.
But he soon remembered something and instructed Xia Luo, "If my parents want to see you, how would you explain your background to them?"
"Background? What background?" Xia Luo asked, puzzled.
Zhan Yunxiao said, "If they ask you where your family is, if you have parents, how would you answer?"
Xia Luo smiled and said, "Of course I’ll tell the truth, tell them I have no family, no parents, I’m an orphan."
"No," Zhan Yunxiao said, "If they ask you, you say you have parents, a family. But you’re from a poor family, so you left school early to work."
"But I have no family," Xia Luo argued, "Where do you expect me to conjure one from?"
"I’ll make sure you do, I’ll arrange everything, you just need to do as I say," Zhan Yunxiao said.
Xia Luo still didn’t understand, looking at him with puzzled eyes.
Zhan Yunxiao’s heart softened under her gaze, and he couldn’t help but reach out and pat her head, "Don’t worry, I’ll arrange it well and take good care of you. Don’t ask why, just know it’s for your own good." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Alright, since you’re helping me so much, I believe you," Xia Luo said with a still confused expression but nodded seriously.
Her obedient and sensible demeanor made Zhan Yunxiao’s heart even softer.
At the same time, he secretly vowed that this time, no matter what, he would protect her well and never let her get hurt again.
After taking Xia Luo back to her residence, Zhan Yunxiao found Yan Yu to arrange a middle-aged couple to pose as Xia Luo’s parents.
Yan Yu quickly sorted it out and brought them to Zhan Yunxiao to see.
Seeing the two people, who were already over sixty, Zhan Yunxiao’s face darkened.
"At such an age, you say they’re the parents of Xia Luo and Xia Tian?"
Yan Yu chuckled awkwardly, "You want to arrange a family for Miss Xia. Miss Xia seems not to have much education, obviously from a poor background. This age fits perfectly, having children late but unable to support them, it matches the profile. If they’re too young, it wouldn’t make sense."
Zhan Yunxiao thought for a moment, it did make quite a lot of sense.
"Alright, them it is. Have you explained everything to them?"
"Explained thoroughly, guaranteed foolproof."
Zhan Yunxiao nodded, taking the two people to meet Xia Luo and Xia Tian so they could all get their stories straight.
"Remember, you are a family, make sure everything is clear. If anyone slips up, don’t blame me for being harsh," Zhan Yunxiao warned sternly.
Xia Luo pouted and asked, "Why must it be like this?"
Xia Tian also nodded in confusion, "Yeah, big brother, why must it be like this?"
"You guys don’t need to know why, it’s just how it is," Zhan Yunxiao said.
Seeing him unwilling to answer, they had no choice but not to ask further.
Soon, Ye Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue returned from their trip.
Zhan Yunxiao returned home and met his parents.
He expected his parents to ask about Xia Luo, and he had already thought of explanations.
However, Zhan Hanjue and Ye Ningwan didn’t mention a word about it.
"Isn’t there anything you want to ask me?" Zhan Yunxiao asked.
Zhan Hanjue and Ye Ningwan exchanged a glance and shook their heads with a smile, "No, is there something you want to tell us?"
Zhan Yunxiao: "..."
Your son has nude photos and kissing photos with a girl, and you’re not concerned?
"Nothing, I’ll be going then."
Since they didn’t want to ask, he wouldn’t say anything either, he left with a stoic expression.
As soon as he left, Ye Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue laughed.
But then, Zhan Hanjue wrapped an arm around his wife and asked, "Really not planning to ask?"
Ye Ningwan nodded, "No plans, when the time is right, he’ll naturally bring the girl to meet us. He’s dating, what would we ask? If it’s not someone he truly likes, asking won’t do any good. I don’t want to be a meddling parent, forcing my son to marry someone because of me. If it’s true love, he won’t need us, he’ll bring the person before us to confirm the relationship."
"Mm, what you said makes sense, it’s just that suddenly our son is looking for a girlfriend, time flies," Zhan Hanjue lamented.
Ye Ningwan said, "Yeah, and he’s only twenty, starting to date, it’s a bit early. At that age, you hadn’t even met me until nearly thirty."
"So it was late, I regret not knowing you earlier now," Zhan Hanjue held her hand, full of affection.
Ye Ningwan smiled softly, leaning gently on his shoulder with her eyes closed.
The thing she least regrets in her life is meeting Zhan Hanjue.
But she doesn’t want to say it out loud, or he’d be too thrilled, unable to sleep tonight.
"When will you come over?"
Xia Luo called Zhan Yunxiao.
Zhan Yunxiao said, "If I’m free tomorrow, I’ll come to see you."
"Great, Xia Tian and I have prepared something delicious for you," Xia Luo said happily.
Zhan Yunxiao curved his lips.
Xia Luo, always mischievous, had been wandering from a young age, but was full of clever tricks.
And she could cook, her food was quite delicious too.
These days, she’d often have him over for meals at her apartment to repay him.
Since Zhan Yunxiao had nothing better to do, he went, and after tasting her cooking, he couldn’t help but keep going back.
This time upon hearing there were delicious dishes, his mouth couldn’t help but water, feeling hungry again.
The next day, after work, Zhan Yunxiao went straight to the apartment.
As expected, Xia Luo had prepared a table full of dishes.
Looking at the variety of dishes, Zhan Yunxiao asked with a smile, "You’ve been wandering all your life, haven’t eaten so many delicious things, how can you cook such a feast?"
Xia Luo’s expression stiffened, her hand holding the chopsticks trembled.
