Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 703 - 672: A Son of the Zhan Family Comes of Age (Part 2)
Of course, he doesn’t know how to treat illnesses.
However, his mother is renowned as the Divine Doctor; though he hasn’t formally studied, he has a basic understanding of simple tasks like taking pulses.
Instinctively, he checked her pulse.
But as soon as his fingers touched her wrist, Xia Luo reacted as if shocked by electricity, immediately pulling back.
Zhan Yunxiao frowned: "What, you really don’t want me to touch you?"
Xia Luo’s reaction seemed to him like she didn’t want him to touch her.
"No, I’m fine, my body is not uncomfortable, no need to check my pulse." Xia Luo quietly explained.
"Since your body is fine, why don’t you want to eat?" Zhan Yunxiao asked.
Xia Luo bit her lip.
Thinking, I just don’t want to see you, do I have to say it directly?
"Breakfast is very important. In our family, we must eat breakfast." Zhan Yunxiao firmly pulled her downstairs.
Ye Ningwan is skilled in traditional medicine and has always been knowledgeable about health preservation.
So, in the Zhan Family, breakfast is mandatory; dinner can be skipped, but breakfast must be sumptuous.
Xia Luo wanted to refuse, but Zhan Yunxiao firmly pulled her down, leaving her no choice but to sit at the dining table.
The food boxes delivered by the hotel were already very pretty.
But Zhan Yunxiao oddly insisted on taking the breakfast out of the boxes and placing it on their own plates.
Arranged so beautifully, as if guests were coming over.
"The main purpose of ordering takeout is to avoid hassle. You take these out and put them on your own plates, won’t you have to wash them later?" Xia Luo said speechlessly.
Zhan Yunxiao confidently explained: "Eating isn’t just about filling up, it’s about pleasing your mood. The appearance, aroma, and taste can’t be lacking. Arranging it on a plate makes it look more appealing, and looking good naturally stimulates appetite, which is also part of health preservation."
"So young and already focusing on health preservation." Xia Luo softly murmured.
While living alone, she’d also often ordered takeout.
Not to mention such pretty and exquisite boxes, most were ordinary plastic boxes, and she ate them eagerly.
"Without proper health preservation, how can you have children early? Without having children early, how can you rescue Qingqing?" Zhan Yunxiao asserted boldly.
Xia Luo was stunned, thinking about the events of last night...
"You did it last night because you wanted to rescue Qingqing..."
"You’re the one who wanted to rescue Qingqing, you were also the one who initiated it last night." Zhan Yunxiao twisted the facts.
After speaking, he looked at her with deep eyes, observing her reaction.
As expected.
Just as Zhan Yunxiao expected, Xia Luo had no reaction.
She was drunk and only remembered what happened in the car; indeed, she was the one who initiated it.
But she couldn’t recall anything that happened after they returned home.
Zhan Yunxiao’s words made her both guilty and embarrassed.
So she was the one to initiate, and she wanted to rescue Qingqing?
Indeed, drunken words are truthful words; she did what she always wanted to do but didn’t dare to.
Yet this situation, for anyone involved, could be deeply humiliating and hurtful!
Especially to someone as proud as Zhan Yunxiao.
"I’m sorry."
Xia Luo pursed her lips and bowed her head in apology.
Zhan Yunxiao secretly smiled, knowing he was right, feeling very pleased.
"You don’t need to apologize to me. I know you’re eager to rescue her, especially since she’s Fang Qingyang’s sister."
"This is my fault, what kind of compensation do you want, just say it quickly." Xia Luo softly said.
"Any kind of compensation?" Zhan Yunxiao approached her and asked.
His sudden closeness startled Xia Luo.
She immediately pulled back, as if he was contagious, evading him entirely.
Xia Luo’s reaction also pained Zhan Yunxiao’s eyes.
Unhappy, Zhan Yunxiao extended his hand to embrace her waist, pulling her back.
"You were so proactive last night, yet today you’re evasive? Can you guarantee you’ll get pregnant just once?"
"I’m not evasive." Xia Luo blushingly explained.
"Then why did you dodge when I got close?" Zhan Yunxiao questioned.
Xia Luo wished to say she wasn’t avoiding him but was nervous.
After what happened last night, when he suddenly approached, she felt tense.
But she couldn’t voice these thoughts.
Only biting her lip and blushing, showing a troubled expression.
Thankfully, Zhan Yunxiao didn’t continue to press her.
Seeing her like this, he had to let go.
"Eat up, it’s all getting cold."
Xia Luo subtly sighed in relief, lowering her head to eat seriously.
At this point, she dared not say she didn’t want to eat, otherwise Zhan Yunxiao would certainly press for reasons again.
Now she didn’t want to speak another word to Zhan Yunxiao, just wishing to finish eating quickly and leave, avoiding the awkwardness of sitting together.
However, after finally finishing the meal, she couldn’t leave.
Zhan Yunxiao called out to her: "I’ve located Mu Chen, sending someone over, hopefully finding where he hid Qingqing."
"You sent someone to investigate?" Xia Luo was surprised.
Zhan Yunxiao said: "Of course, I am Zhan Yunxiao after all, I can’t let him lead me around. He says we should marry, so we marry, says we should have kids, so we have them. What if after having kids, he wants us dead? Do we die too? The only way to break free from his control is to strike first, find Qingqing and rescue her; by then, what can he threaten us with?"
"Actually, I thought about this too, but lacking connections, I couldn’t act. With you sending people, I can’t just stand by. The recordings and photos he sent me, I’ll review them again, maybe finding clues about Qingqing." Xia Luo said.
Finished speaking, Xia Luo stood up, planning to go upstairs for the tapes and photos.
Unexpectedly, Zhan Yunxiao also stood up: "I’ll watch with you."
Xia Luo blushed, anxious: "What are you watching for? You haven’t lived with Mu Chen, how would you know where the photo scenes are?"
"I may not know, but I can guess. Isn’t it good to have one more person contribute ideas?" Zhan Yunxiao insisted, following her upstairs.
