shallow marriage deep love

"Cousin..." Xia Zixuan called weakly, wanted to go forward but couldn't move forward, the unwelcome in Xia Yan's eyes was too strong, he didn't dare to go forward for fear of offending him again.

Xia Yan's face darkened, and at the same time, there was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth: "Speak, what are you doing here? Or is it that Grandpa is so impatient for you to come and take over Xia's branch office in City A?"

Xia Zixuan's face turned pale, and he hurriedly explained: "No, brother, you know that Grandpa didn't ask me to do anything, even if he wanted me to do something, it's not what I'm interested in."

He was afraid that Xia Yan would misunderstand, so he called his brother again under the circumstances, and only regretted it when he finished speaking. Xia Yan had made it clear that he should not call him brother again.Thinking of this, the expression in his eyes darkened a bit.

"Hmph!" Xia Yan snorted coldly, not wanting to talk, but turned sideways and walked over, determined to treat Xia Zixuan as transparent to the end.

"Cousin!" Xia Zixuan bravely stopped him, his eyes were full of eagerness, "I...I still have something to tell you!"

Xia Yan's footsteps stopped, he was obviously irritable, but he couldn't help stopping, he hated himself like this.

"Say!" He spat out a word bitterly.

Xia Zixuan hesitated for a while, and then said in a low voice: "I saw, saw Miao Yiyang today, does she know that you are in City A? She, she..."

Originally, he wanted to ask Miao Yiyang the reason for appearing in City A. He knew the relationship between Xia Yan and Miao Yiyang in the past, and he also knew that Xia Yan had always had someone in his heart, but it was because of this that he was even more worried.

It's just that he didn't know, his worry sounded more like a temptation to Xia Yan.

"What does this have to do with you?" Xia Yan responded coldly, "Take care of yourself! If you want to use this to deal with me, you can go back to the capital and tell grandpa!"

Xia Zixuan was in a hurry, his mind was in a mess, his usual three-inch tongue was useless at the moment: "That's not what I meant! I..."

"Whether you mean it or not!" Xia Yan turned around abruptly, staring at him coldly, "I don't care!"

Xia Zixuan was silent, he knew that no matter how much he explained it would be useless, he lowered his head slumped, and said sullenly: "Cousin, believe it or not, I never thought of dealing with you, I am still the old Axuan , has never changed. By the way, next week's awards ceremony, if you don't want to see me, I won't show up. I'm leaving first, you should rest early."

When he finished speaking, he actually had expectations in his heart. He hoped that Xia Yan would not be angry with him, but the facts told him that he was still thinking too much.

Xia Yan didn't make a sound to persuade him to stay, his eyes dimmed, he turned around and left lonely, like an abandoned child, with an indescribable loneliness from his back.

"President Xia..." Assistant Li watched the whole process and tried to say something, but found that he had no position at all, or he didn't know what to say.

Xia Yan ignored Assistant Li's hesitation to speak, he looked at the direction Xia Zixuan was leaving and felt extremely irritable.

Is it still the younger brother?

No, how can he have any younger brother?The only thing he has has always been his sister.

Not wanting to bring bad emotions to Xia Xia, he didn't go upstairs again, but drove to another place - downstairs of Zhong Nian's apartment.

Opening the door, looking up, Xia Yan looked at the lights on a certain floor, and his restless mood miraculously calmed down.

"Nian Nian, I'm back from the capital." He murmured softly, and then a bitter feeling spread all over his body.

He didn't know how long he had stood downstairs for Zhong Nian, and he didn't turn around until he saw the lights in her room go out.

Just turning around, he saw Miao Yiyang standing a few steps away.

"Why are you here?" Xia Yan sullenly, a little angry at Miao Yiyang's appearance.

"I know you are coming back today, I think you will come here, so I try my luck here." Miao Yiyang smiled wryly, his tenderness would never be given to anyone except Zhong Nian and Xia Xia, that was her extravagant wish .

Xia Yan didn't speak, he suddenly remembered what Xia Zixuan said not long ago, did he see Miao Yiyang?

Thinking of this, he stared at Miao Yiyang with a complex expression, as if asking: "Have you decided to stay in City A?"

"Yes." Miao Yiyang didn't intend to hide anything.

Xia Yan took a step forward: "If this is your decision, I won't interfere, but!" He narrowed his eyes, and all the fierceness in his body gathered together, "The previous agreement is void! Lu Qinglan's magazine , you don’t need to do it again, understand?”

"This is the only thing you want to tell me?" Miao Yiyang raised his head.

"Yes."

Miao Yiyang clenched his fists involuntarily, sneered in his heart, but had a cute look on his face: "Okay."

Xia Yan glanced at her, turned around to get into the car, but paused the moment he opened the door: "Also, in the future, don't come here again."

Miao Yiyang raised her head fiercely, but she couldn't even see the back of his head.

The car drove away, and after a long time, her stiff body moved, she dialed a number, her voice was not the slightest bit warm: "Mr. Xia, I've thought it over, and I promise to help you."

After the affairs of Secretary Yang's faction were completely over, Lu Qinglan and Ye Tingshen moved back to their home. After spending a happy weekend, the awards ceremony of the competition came as scheduled.

Prior to this, Teacher Zhang had already told Lu Qinglan in advance that their magazine had won a certain award.

This is Yi Yue's first honor, not wanting to be rude, Lu Qinglan specially bought an evening dress for Xiao Gu, Shi Xiaorui and Miao Yiyang who attended the party together.

Ye Tingshen was too busy with business and couldn't accompany her to receive the award, so he carefully explained the driver's many precautions, and even reminded him to call him if something happened, Lu Qinglan agreed with a smile.

She arrived at the entrance of the hotel with Xiao Gu, and the moment she got off the car, she felt a strong gaze on her.

Looking up in doubt, she found that it was Xia Yan.

Xiao Gu followed his gaze and saw that it was Xia Yan who leaned towards Lu Qinglan unobtrusively, while staring at Xia Yan vigilantly.

Sensing her nervousness, Lu Qinglan patted her hand.

At this moment, Xia Yan walked up to them.

"Lu Qinglan." He said with a complicated expression.

Lu Qinglan was neither humble nor overbearing, and met his gaze without fear: "Mr. Xia."

Indifferent and alienated.

Xia Yan looked at her quietly for a few seconds, and finally uttered a sentence with difficulty: "I'm sorry about the past."

Lu Qinglan didn't expect him to say that, the astonishment on his face didn't have time to hide, all of them fell into Xia Yan's eyes.

"Don't be surprised." He sneered to solve her doubts, "I apologize because I don't want to push Nian Nian further away. After all, you are the friend she cares about the most."

It turns out that this is like Xia Yan's style.

Lu Qinglan understands it, but it doesn't mean that she can say it's okay. Once some things are done, her position will not change.

Not only her, Xia Yan could see this very clearly.It's just that there are some things he won't say, for example, he found that dealing with women is not what a gentleman does, for example, he has given up dealing with Ye Tingshen.

There was not much communication, everything was well known, and the two separated without saying a word, completely looking like strangers.

It's just that many people who participated in the awards ceremony today had known or seen that Xia Yan and Lu Qinglan had an unusual relationship, and now they suddenly saw such a scene, they were secretly suspicious.

Lu Qinglan naturally knew the reason why some people looked at her strangely, but she never cared about other people's opinions, so she didn't feel relieved at all, she still had a normal heart.

"Lu Qinglan!" As soon as Xia Zixuan entered the venue, he saw Lu Qinglan and Xiao Gu with sharp eyes, and ran up to them excitedly.

"Why is it you again?" Xiao Gu's disgust was self-evident.

"Why can't it be me?" Xia Zixuan raised his eyebrows, "Let me tell you, the more you don't want to see me, the more I want to appear in front of you, hum!"

"You!" Xiao Gu was angry, but considering the current situation, she was full of anger and could not burst out.

Xia Zixuan was even happier seeing her bursting with anger, and then looked at Lu Qinglan who hadn't said a word, with a sly look on his face: "Lu Qinglan, how did you think about the last time? Let me tell you, this I was obsessed with other things for two days, or I would have gone to your magazine long ago."

His eyes were scorching, undiminished.

Originally, when Lu Qinglan heard that Xia Zixuan didn't go to the magazine anymore, she thought that his 3-minute fever had passed, but she didn't expect it to be so.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xia Zixuan hurriedly urged: "Hey, Lu Qinglan, tell me."

"I didn't think about it." Lu Qinglan glanced at him and said calmly.

"Ah?" Xia Zixuan obviously did not expect such an answer, and the next second, he complained with a mournful face, "Lu Qinglan, do you think you are so heartless?"

Seeing his appearance, Lu Qinglan got a headache. Why does this Xia Zixuan always play cards out of common sense?

Seeing that it was time to take a seat, she sighed silently and said, "Xia Zixuan, I don't have time to play with you, it's time to take a seat. You are here as a sponsor, right? Sit in your own seat. "

"Lu Qinglan, I didn't play." Xia Zixuan suddenly became serious, and added stubbornly, "I really want to be your friend, really."

Lu Qinglan looked up at him, and found that his eyes were the same as last time, the innocence was unbearable to refuse.

Looking away, she remembered Ye Tingshen's words, took a deep breath, and finally made a decision: "Okay, I agree."

"Really?" Xia Zixuan was so excited that he couldn't believe it.

"Really." Lu Qinglan nodded, showing no special expression, "Can you let me go to my seat now?"

"Hey! You go! I happen to be going too, let's go together!" At this moment, Xia Zixuan was as happy as a child who had eaten candy.

Not far away, Xia Yan saw the interaction between the two, and doubts arose in his heart.But the doubts did not last long, because the award ceremony officially began.
