Beijing-Hong Kong Confession

Chapter 154: Unable to Give Up

Hearing this, Zhu Xia turned to look at him.

When their eyes meet, they can see each other's silhouette in each other's eyes, clear and real.

In the past, the time they spent together was so short that they could remember every moment clearly.

Now, she is going back to the capital.

Zhu Xia looked at He Lianzhou silently, and after a while he said, "I thought so."

She knew that with just one word from her, he would stay.

And he should have a lot of things to deal with tonight, especially with his family.

Although she could have survived her long life relying on the short period of time they had spent together in the past, people are always greedy.

So she made a selfish choice.

After finishing the noodles, Zhu Xia put the dishes into the dishwasher. When she came out, He Lianzhou was standing on the balcony of the living room making a phone call. At his feet were lush potted flowers. After looking at them for a while, Zhu Xia went back to the room to get the bath towel and bathrobe he would use later.

The person on the other end of the phone was my grandfather He Jihua. Commander Lu Jin and others came to the old house for dinner this afternoon and mentioned He Lianzhou's marriage. He Jihua heard from Lu Jin that Lianzhou already had a girl, and that girl was very special, and you would definitely be satisfied.

As a result, before we could even be happy, news came out again.

The Hong Kong media has always been vicious in its style. He Jihua naturally did not believe the content of the entertainment reporter's report. He asked Jiang Anyu, and found out that it was true.

It wasn't difficult for He Yanmin and his friends to use this as an excuse to cause trouble, but what was troubling He Jihua was that this incident was very similar to when He Yanting cheated on Jiang Yao.

He Jihua said earnestly: "Don't follow your mother's old path and make the same mistake."

"Grandpa, I know you're worried. But Zhu Xia is not He Yanting, and I am not my mother."

“People’s hearts change.”

"You're right. She will change, and so will I."

He Jihua remained silent on the other end of the phone.

"No matter what happened in the past, Zhu Xia and I will be together now and in the future. If anyone in the He family or the Jiang family does not welcome her, it means they do not welcome me. If you have any other opinions, I apologize in advance."

He Lianzhou said calmly: "This is my decision. It's getting late, Grandpa, have a good rest. I'm going to hang up first."

As soon as I finished talking to my grandfather, Jiang Anyu called me the next second.

"Boss He, we are on your team." Jiang Anyu expressed his attitude first.

"You guys?" He Lianzhou asked.

Jiang Anyu looked at He Chuyin and Jiang Zhao who were sitting on the sofa opposite him, and said politely, "I, Chuyin, Farah."

When He Chuyin and Farah heard their names, they both blinked their big innocent eyes.

"Shang Xun also asked me if it was fake, saying that it was impossible for you and Sumer to be together, and it must be fabricated." Jiang Anyu smiled like a tiger, with a smug tone, "They don't even know that you and Dr. Zhu had an underground relationship."

More people knew about their past, so they no longer had to hide it. She no longer avoided him.

"I'm telling the truth!" Jiang Anyu said on the other end, "But Liang Yiying isn't surprised at all. It seems like you guys are hiding your secret relationship very well."

"I didn't mean to hide it." He Lianzhou smiled for a moment, turned sideways and looked towards the bedroom, and said, "Busy. Let's talk another day."

Zhu Xia went to the bathroom to wash her face. Her eyes were still red and swollen, showing signs of crying. She stood in front of the sink, looking at herself in the mirror, lost in thought.

Their past is like bookmarks made from fresh leaves. Countless cells have died, the water has evaporated, and only dry branches and leaves remain hidden in the thick book.

As time goes by, it gradually merges into the paper and becomes difficult to find.

She never forgot.

But once you think of it, you can't let it go.

There were footsteps behind her. Zhu Xia did not turn around, but quietly looked at the man in the mirror who was getting closer and closer until he hugged her from behind.

"Have you finished your call?" Zhu Xia asked softly, looking at the man and woman hugging each other tightly in the mirror.

"Yeah." He Lianzhou rested his chin on Zhu Xia's shoulder and his face touched her ear.

There was a moment of silence. Zhu Xia's long hair fell loosely on her neck and she wiped her fingers in his arms.

"I'm going back to the capital tomorrow."

He Lianzhou raised his eyelashes and looked at Zhu Xia in the mirror. His brows were indifferent and his dark eyes showed no emotion.

"I have to go back and deal with my marriage with Song Chengyu."

Even though it's just a verbal engagement now and not a formal engagement, I still have to talk to grandpa and the others to cancel it.

"I'll go with you." He Lianzhou placed her hand in his palm and played with it nonchalantly.

"Need not."

Zhu Xia turned around from He Lianzhou's arms and looked up at him, her bright black pupils reflecting his appearance, "You have to believe that I can do it."

Although she doesn't have that much power, she has a lot of connections.

"You showed up at Grandpa Meng's house during the Mid-Autumn Festival. You should know that my household registration is not in the Song family, but in the Meng family. Don't worry, I will be fine."

Chief Meng would definitely not allow the Song family to restrict her personal freedom.

He Lianzhou's eyes were deep, and he looked at her thoughtfully.

Zhu Xia stood on tiptoe and kissed his chin, "Take a shower first. I'll go to the study."

He Lianzhou lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. Zhu Xia understood that he agreed with her.

Zhu Xia walked to the study, turned on the computer, and skillfully clicked on the email. It was an offer from the top medical school in Beijing. After reading it for a few seconds, he switched to another email in English, which was an offer from Johns Hopkins Hospital.

These hospitals each have their own advantages and disadvantages. If He Lianzhou wasn't there, it wouldn't matter to her where she went.

Zhu Xia clicked on the reply page, typed on the keyboard with nimble fingers, and gave a sincere and tactful reply.

She is not in a hurry for Hong Kong Yan Hospital either, as she still has unfinished academic projects.

After replying to the email, Zhu Xia stretched herself, stood up, walked around the desk, and saw the messy writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table in front of the bookshelf.

I wrote and drew these when I discussed something with Lin Jiayue and Li Baize last time.

Zhu Xia walked over and threw away the useless waste paper, then spread out new rice paper. While grinding the ink, she thought about what to write.

Song Chengyu has been learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was young, and Zhu Xia is no exception.

For the aristocratic families, learning these things is not to gain skills to make money, but to cultivate their character.

It just so happened that she was in a complicated mood tonight, her heart was beating fast and rough, and she needed to calm down.

Zhu Xia couldn't think of a way to start. She put down her brush and was about to go back, but when she turned around, she bumped into the man who came to look for her after taking a shower.

The bathrobe was loosely draped over him, and a few drops of water faintly licked down his muscular chest. The hot air emanated from it hit Zhu Xia's nostrils, and her cheeks were rising with an imperceptible heat.

He Lianzhou didn't expect her to turn around suddenly, and his eyebrows raised slightly.

Zhu Xia noticed that his hair was still wet and not completely dry.

"Why didn't you blow..."

Before he could finish his words, He Lianzhou's strong arms grabbed his waist and lifted him onto the table.

Zhu Xia even lost one of her shoes, but she didn't have the chance to speak. The man blocked her mouth, pried open her lips and teeth and went straight in.
