Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 648: The Zhan Family’s Son Comes of Age
When Xia Luo kissed Zhan Yunxiao, Zhan Yunxiao’s eyes widened in disbelief.
But soon, he took the lead, holding Xia Luo’s slender waist and kissing back, pouring all his passion into it.
Young love is just this straightforward and passionate. Like dry wood, a little spark can ignite a blazing fire.
"Zhan, I’ve got the documents..."
Yan Yu, lacking tact, knocked and entered, seeing the scene unfold, swallowing half the words he’d prepared.
"Sorry for interrupting, I’ll leave first."
Xia Luo, her face already red, pushed Zhan Yunxiao away and shyly ran into the small inner suite.
"Stop." Zhan Yunxiao called Yan Yu back.
Yan Yu turned around, pleading with a grimace: "Zhan, I really didn’t do it on purpose. Next time I’ll wait for your permission to come in. I have no experience, and I won’t make this mistake again. Please, don’t send me to Africa for aid work, I don’t want to go to Africa."
"Alright, I’m not blaming you, why go to Africa? If you go to Africa, who will I use? Quickly, tell me what’s up, why are you looking for me?" Zhan Yunxiao said in a good mood.
Yan Yu looked at him in surprise: "Zhan, you’re not angry?"
Zhan Yunxiao smiled: "Not angry, do I look like someone who gets angry so easily?"
Yan Yu smiled sheepishly.
Thinking to himself, you’re not like that, you are exactly like that.
If I had interrupted you before, I’d have been scolded harshly. But this time you’re so amiable?
Sure enough, being in love changes everything, you’re just in a good mood.
Yan Yu thought, should I bring up a raise now? Maybe Zhan will agree in his happiness?
"Zhan, about my raise?"
"Don’t push your luck." Zhan Yunxiao gave him a cold look.
Yan Yu shivered in fright and quickly reported what he had to say.
Actually, it wasn’t a big deal, just an update on a project their company was recently involved with.
This project is very important to Zhan Group, being the most promising project for next year, although preparations need to be made this year.
Zhan Yunxiao nodded and let Yan Yu leave after the report.
At the door, Yan Yu suddenly thought of something, turned around and said, "Zhan, should I replace the single bed in the small bedroom with a double bed?"
Zhan Yunxiao: "..."
His face turned red, he scolded, "What nonsense, replace the bed? Do you think I’m that kind of person? Hurry up and get out."
Yan Yu pouted, thinking to himself, if you’re not that kind of person, what were you doing just now?
But he didn’t dare to talk back, quickly running out.
After Yan Yu left, Zhan Yunxiao’s face was still red.
He glanced at the small bedroom, thinking of Xia Luo inside, and couldn’t help but feel his heart race.
Should the single bed be replaced with a double one?
Forget it, Xia Luo is still young, he couldn’t do anything to hurt her.
But he didn’t know that Mrs. Li from the morning encounter had already visited their home to complain.
Ye Ningwan was unlucky; she had intended to go out, but feeling lazy, ended up staying home to rest.
Mrs. Li paid a visit, at first not knowing the reason, just thinking there was some discomfort, so she wanted to take a shortcut to consult her.
But as soon as Mrs. Li spoke, she said, "I ran into Young Master Zhan at Yunfeng Pavilion this morning."
"Really, he usually likes Yunfeng Pavilion’s food, didn’t expect he’d go himself." Ye Ningwan said.
She was indeed a bit surprised.
Zhan Yunxiao had never shown strong demands for food since childhood, as long as it was nutritious and filling, taste was secondary.
Plus, he disliked wasting time.
There was breakfast at home, and he usually wouldn’t eat outside food.
Even though he lived outside alone now, the home’s servants would occasionally bring food, and the fridge was always packed.
He shouldn’t have gone to Yunfeng Pavilion.
Sure enough, Mrs. Li continued, "He was with a girl, the girl looked ordinary. I asked who she was, he bluntly said girlfriend. Actually got a girlfriend, Madam Zhan, have you met this girl? Are you satisfied?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Ye Ningwan thought, I haven’t met her, can’t say if I’m satisfied or not.
But she was quite curious about the girl’s appearance and background.
"The girl looks ordinary? How ordinary are we talking, can you describe it? I know he has a girlfriend, but he hasn’t brought her here for us to see either."
"Very ordinary, not pretty, no wonder he doesn’t dare bring her to meet you. Oh, I even had someone capture a video, you could just take a look." Mrs. Li said.
Ye Ningwan looked at her in surprise.
This Mrs. Li, usually scatterbrained. Unexpectedly sly in this matter, even recording a video?
However, Ye Ningwan was pleased, eagerly asking Mrs. Li to show her the photo.
The photo was a bit blurry, given it’s a surveillance video snapshot, how clear could it be?
But the basic look could still be made out.
First, she saw her own son, full of joy.
Even in such a blurry image, her son remained strikingly handsome.
And the girl beside him was quite beautiful.
Mrs. Li knew how to take a picture, capturing a frontal shot of the two.
The girl’s features were exquisite, though the skin’s condition wasn’t visible, judging by the features, she was a beauty.
Why does this beauty look so familiar?
Constantly feeling she had seen her somewhere?
An inkling of doubt emerged in Ye Ningwan’s mind, but she didn’t voice this doubt.
"Madam Zhan, don’t you think she looks ordinary? Totally unworthy of your Yunxiao." Mrs. Li said.
Ye Ningwan smiled awkwardly, thinking she’s much prettier than your daughter.
"It’s none of my business to manage young people’s affairs, you know I’m always lenient with children."
"Madam Zhan, that’s not right. With such a big family business, you should find a daughter-in-law from a comparable family. This girl looks unfamiliar, surely without a family background, don’t let her lower your family’s living standards." Mrs. Li advised.
Ye Ningwan snorted: "Mrs. Li, don’t you think you’re overreaching? As you said, our family is so big. Even if the girl brought ten family members to eat, it wouldn’t lower our standard of living. You certainly do manage well, caring for all our family matters. It’s getting late, you should head back. I have some things to do, won’t keep you."
Mrs. Li felt awkward; unexpectedly, she failed to convince and was shown the door?
Yet, she couldn’t offend Ye Ningwan, nor did she want to lose Zhan Yunxiao as a potential future son-in-law.
So, even knowing Ye Ningwan wasn’t welcoming, she reminded on her way out: "Madam Zhan, you need to take this matter seriously, can’t just let it go."
