CEO Overlord Love: Contract Lover

177 chapter

"Zhou Xuan, what's the matter?" Meng Yao asked Zhou Xuan anxiously and cautiously.

Zhou Xuan hesitated for a few seconds before ending the topic with a smile.

He hooked the corners of his lips with a smile, and then replied, "Meng Yao, the fire nest is still very hot, why don't we eat it after it cools down?"

After Mengyao finished listening, she breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded her head in agreement, "Okay then, let's eat after the fire pit cools down."

"Yeah." Zhou Xuan replied with a smile, and then suddenly turned around and asked her, "Mengyao, do you still remember the time when we went to eat Huowu together in junior high school?"

Mengyao didn't expect Zhou Xuan to suddenly talk about her youth, and was inexplicably lost in thought for a while.

And the picture of her childhood sweetheart with Zhou Xuan in junior high school is like a lingering nightmare, deeply coiled in the center of her mind.

Why do you say those memories are nightmares?

In fact, she never thought so, and even once thought that it was the most cherished time in her life.

But one day, she suddenly woke up and discovered that there were so many plots and calculations hidden behind this beautiful time, this simple childhood memory.

Only then did she realize that it was ten thousand times more terrifying than nightmares. At least nightmares would only scare people, not chill them.

……

Mengyao smiled wryly, nodded and replied, "Well, I remember it all. Why did Zhou Xuan suddenly mention those things?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that time flies so fast, we've all grown up so much before we know it." Zhou Xuan replied with a bit of a sigh.

"Well, I didn't expect to grow up so soon." Mengyao echoed casually.

"Meng Yao, you have changed, you are no longer the Meng Yao I knew before." Zhou Xuan suddenly said to her in a hoarse voice.

After Mengyao heard this, her body froze suddenly, perhaps because of her guilty conscience.

Did Zhou Xuan discover something?

Otherwise, why would you suddenly talk about those topics?

……

But what should come will always come. In the past, it was because she always evaded and knew how to endure when things happened, which made people hurt her and the people around her over and over again!

She can't be soft-hearted anymore!

Mengyao made up her mind, bit her lips and whispered, "Time can always change a lot of things, can't it, and it's not just me. Zhou Xuan, aren't you the same?"

"Yes, we have all changed." Zhou Xuan replied blankly.

After hearing this, Mengyao didn't know how to answer Zhou Xuan's topic, so she decided to get straight to the point and stop entangled with Zhou Xuan.

"Zhou Xuan, the food is cold, let's eat quickly?" Mengyao said to Zhou Xuan in a questioning tone.

"Okay." Zhou Xuan nodded in agreement, and then picked up the chopsticks to hold the food in the fire nest again.

Mengyao saw that his movements were getting closer and closer to her plan, her heart beat unconsciously excitedly but cautiously.

But just when she thought Zhou Xuan would pick up the food and eat it right away, the situation was beyond her expectation.

"Cough, cough ---" Zhou Xuan suddenly coughed violently, and put the chopsticks holding a shrimp on the table together with the shrimp, then took the free hand, gently caresses his chest.

Seeing this scene, Mengyao felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Could it be that Zhou Xuan found out that he was drugging?

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

Mengyao was worried about this possibility in her heart, but soon she came back to her senses, and then asked Zhou Xuan in a slightly comforting tone.

"Zhou Xuan, what's wrong with you, are you feeling unwell?"

"Cough, cough -----" Zhou Xuan continued to cough a few times, stroked his chest again, and then replied in a tired tone, "Mengyao, I'm fine, don't worry, I just caught a cold yesterday. "

"Oh, really?" Mengyao asked Zhou Xuan in disbelief.

As if Zhou Xuan didn't hear the tone of her words, Gu Zi nodded, indicating that it was indeed so.

"Yeah, I had a sore throat yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be worse today." Zhou Xuan answered with a patient attitude.

Mengyao glanced at Zhou Xuan's expression, and Zhou Xuan's tone, and felt that he was not lying.

Mengyao rolled her eyes in thought, and then replied, "Zhou Xuan, then you must have a good rest."

"Well, Mengyao, I will, but I'm afraid I won't be able to eat fire with you in that case?" Zhou Xuan said with a bit of guilt.

After Mengyao heard this, the hope on her face and the surging excitement in her heart disappeared in an instant, and her face turned ashen.

But what can she do now?What if she is not reconciled?

Could it be that Zhou Xuan was forcefully drugged?Impossible, she is not as strong as Zhou Xuan at all.Maybe he will be drugged by Zhou Xuan in the end!

……

Mengyao was thinking about various methods in her heart, she hesitated for tens of seconds, and then expressionlessly twitched the corners of her mouth to express her agreement, "Okay then, Zhou Xuan, let's eat next time."

"Well, but Mengyao, don't be sad, I can't eat Huowu, but how about inviting you to my house to eat ordinary food?" Zhou Xuan asked her in a tone of consent.

"To your house?" After hearing this, Mengyao unconsciously showed a hint of surprise on her face.

Although she and Zhou Xuan have known each other for many years, where Zhou Xuan lives has always been a mystery.

But why would Zhou Xuan suddenly let her go to his house now?

No, no matter what the reason was, she couldn't agree.

Zhou Xuan's actions today were so abnormal that it even vaguely gave her an illusion.

That is, Zhou Xuan had found out that she secretly drugged him and wanted to kill him.

So if she goes to his house with Zhou Xuan now, the consequences will be unpredictable!

Mengyao thought about it, and then wanted to find a reason to decline Zhou Xuan.

"Zhou Xuan, there's no need. Since you're sick, go home and have a good rest. I'll just go home and make some noodles by myself."

"What's the matter, Mengyao, I promised to treat you to dinner." Zhou Xuan quickly rejected her reason.

"It's okay, can you please come back tomorrow?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do it tomorrow. Because I'm going to go to a place to do something tomorrow, and it will take at least three months before I can come back."

"What?" Mengyao looked at Zhou Xuan in disbelief, her complexion gradually turned pale, and she asked him, "Will it take more than three months to come back?"

"Well, that's right, it will take more than three months, so I want to treat you to a good meal the day before I leave."

Mengyao rolled her eyes as if thinking, and fell into a deep contradiction in her heart.

If Zhou Xuan didn't come back until more than three months later, wouldn't it take more than three months for her to avenge her mother?

No, she didn't want to wait any longer, not at all.

At this moment, her only obsession in living is revenge. She can't wait to tear Zhou Xuan's body into thousands of pieces in the next second and execute him Ling Chi. How could she be willing to wait three months?

Mengyao compared the interests of the two plans in her mind, and finally chose the first one.

"Okay, Zhou Xuan, shall we go to your house for dinner?" Meng Yao said to Zhou Xuan without expression.

Zhou Xuan smiled with satisfaction, and then replied, "Then Mengyao, quickly pack up your things, and then we will go there."

"Okay." Mengyao nodded in agreement, and then lowered her head to tidy up her handbags.

Mengyao opened the zipper of her handbag and found that there was still half a bottle of potion left, she was relieved, then raised her head and said to Zhou Xuan.

"Zhou Xuan, I packed up, let's go."
