Zhou Zimo responded directly, "Okay!"

?

Then he reached out his hand towards Xie Liuzheng.

?

Xie Liuzheng was a little surprised. She was just being polite, but she never thought that Zhou Zimo actually wanted to try the lotus cake. "Mr. Zhou, I remember you said before that you don't like sweet things."

?

Zhou Zimo smiled and said, "I really didn't like sweet food before, but I like sweet food now."

?

Seeing this, Xie Liuzheng didn't know what to say.

?

She had no choice but to open the box and take out a piece of hibiscus cake for Zhou Zimo.

?

Zhou Zimo took it without hesitation, but Xie Liuzheng couldn't help laughing when she saw his expression as if he was being tortured.

?

"Pfft! Mr. Zhou, you really don't have to force yourself to eat sweet snacks."

?

"I'm not forcing myself. I just like the lotus cake from this restaurant!" Zhou Zimo swallowed it all in one gulp, but he choked.

?

When Xie Liuzheng saw him like this, he burst into laughter.

?

"Mr. Zhou, this is the first time I see you like this. It turns out you are so interesting." Xie Liuzheng initially thought that Zhou Zimo was just a backer who could be flattered, but after getting to know him, she found that Zhou Zimo completely overturned her perception of him.

?

Now he obviously doesn't like sweet food, but Zhou Zimo forces himself to eat sweet food.

?

"Mr. Zhou, you really don't have to force yourself. Some people like sweets, and some don't. Why should you force yourself to accept something you don't like?"

?

To this, Zhou Zimo still insisted, "I really like it!"

?

Xie Liuzheng smiled and asked Chunyue to bring him some water. Chunyue came to find her at that moment. "Miss, the lady is looking for you..."

?

As soon as Xie Liuzheng heard that Xie Xiangyu was looking for him, he left Zhou Zimo and said, "Young Master Zhou, my mother is looking for me. I'll go over first!"

?

After saying that, Xie Liuzheng walked towards his mother's yard.

?

Seeing this, Zhou Zimo couldn't help but worry, "What happened? Shumo, go check it out quickly and tell me if there is any situation."

?

At this time Shumo came over, and before he could speak, Zhou Zimo told him to do something.

?

Shu Mo had to check.

?

He has now discovered that the young master may not care about anything, but he cares deeply about Xie Liuzheng's affairs.

?

In the past, he could pretend that the young master was just grateful to Xie Liuzheng, but with some abnormal behavior of the eldest young master recently, Shu Mo became more certain that his guess was correct.

?

The eldest master seems to really like Miss Xie.

?

However, Shu Mo was not optimistic about the young master and Miss Xie. After all, their identities were there, which was somewhat embarrassing.

?

Zhou Zimo is the son of Marquis Pingxi, and Xie Liuzheng is the stepdaughter of Marquis Pingxi. If they were together, wouldn't it be somewhat awkward?

?

After all, they can all be considered the children of Marquis Pingxi. Although Xie Liuzheng is not his biological daughter, a stepdaughter is still a daughter. Shu Mo feels that if the young master really wants to be with Miss Xie, he still has a long way to go.

?

However, these were not things that Shu Mo, a servant boy, should consider. He turned around and resigned himself to investigating why the lady suddenly looked for Miss Xie.

?

But after Zhou Zimo returned, he was still restless.

?

He thought of how Xie Liuzheng had always been very distant from the opposite sex, but she seemed to care about Qi Shan, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, which made Zhou Zimo feel a sense of crisis.

?

As for his own feelings, Zhou Zimo already knew them.

?

Although he was unwilling to admit it, Xie Liuzheng had unknowingly entered his heart?

?

However, Zhou Zimo has not yet expressed his feelings to Xie Liuzheng. He feels that the time is not yet ripe. After all, he knows very well that if he wants to be with Xie Liuzheng, there will still be many obstacles.

?

And he is not sure whether Xie Liuzheng shares his feelings.

?

If Xie Liuzheng is not interested in him, then he still needs to work harder.

?

Afterwards, Zhou Zimo couldn't wait for the servant to come back, so he turned around and went directly to Xie Xiangyu's yard. When he got there, Zhou Zimo saw Zhou Zheng was also there. He stood outside the yard awkwardly and did not go in.

?

"Zimo? Why are you here? Do you have something to talk to me about?"

?

Zhou Zheng suddenly spoke, and when Zhou Zimo looked up, he met Xie Liuzheng's clear eyes.

?

However, Xie Liuzheng then looked away and found an excuse to go back.

?

Zhou Zimo was a little surprised by this. "Father, I heard that you came back, and I wanted to ask where those soldiers were placed. I want to go see them."

?

After hearing this, Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "We really need to comfort them. Without those soldiers, we wouldn't be where we are today!"

?

"If you go there, bring some more food and drinks. It will be a reward for them."

?

Zhou Zimo responded and then went out.

?

But when he walked to the door, he did not ride away immediately. Instead, he stood at the door and waited for a while. However, after waiting for a long time, Zhou Zimo still did not see Xie Liuzheng come out.

?

There was no choice, Zhou Zimo had to go out first.

?

"Master, please wait a moment!"

?

As a result, just as Zhou Zimo was about to leave, someone called him from behind. Zhou Zimo hurriedly pulled the reins, "Chunyue? Is it your young lady looking for me? Where is she?"

?

Seeing that Zhou Zimo cared so much about the young lady, Chunyue hurriedly said, "The young lady didn't come. I just came here on her orders. This is what the young lady prepared. The young lady said that without those soldiers who risked their lives to protect the people, she couldn't do anything. She could only do her best."

?

As she spoke, she handed over a small box. "As for what the soldiers like, the young lady doesn't know. She has specially prepared silver notes. Please prepare some supplies for the soldiers, young master."

?

Zhou Zimo took the box, opened it and took a look, and sure enough, there was a stack of silver bills inside.

?

The quantity is quite small.

?

Zhou Zimo was a little disappointed that Xie Liuzheng didn't hand these to him personally, but he didn't say anything and just turned around and left.

?

But what Zhou Zimo didn't expect was that just as he turned around, Xie Liuzheng came out quickly.

?

"Mr. Zhou, you haven't left yet? I have something else to do. Let's talk later."

?

After saying that, Xie Liuzheng turned and left. Zhou Zimo wanted to call her, but unfortunately Xie Liuzheng walked too fast. She didn't even look at Zhou Zimo before leaving in a hurry.

?

Zhou Zimo looked at the disappearing carriage suspiciously, "Where is Miss Xie going in such a hurry? Is she going to meet Qi Shan?"

?

Thinking of this, Zhou Zimo no longer cared to comfort the soldiers. He stuffed the silver note to Shu Mo and chased in the direction where Xie Liuzheng's carriage disappeared.

?

Xie Liuzheng didn't expect Zhou Zimo to follow her, so she took a car all the way to Qingshui Lane.

?

As soon as she arrived, the door of a house opened.

?

Then Qi Shan came out and greeted him, "Xie Xiaomei, you are here! Please come in."

?

Then Xie Liuzheng followed him in.

?

Zhou Zimo was secretly resentful. He said that the person who was looking for Xie Liuzheng was Qi Shan, but he didn't know what the other party wanted to see her about?
