Beijing-Hong Kong Confession

Chapter 128 Divorce

The sky was sparsely populated with stars and the edges were rendered in ink, so dark that you couldn't see the end, like a bottomless pit.

Zhu Xia was eating and drinking happily when the cell phone on the table suddenly rang.

Her eyebrows twitched subconsciously, and she glanced and found that the caller ID was [You Feng].

Zhu Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at He Lianzhou, who tapped the table casually with his long fingers, his handsome face calm.

She took off one of her gloves, swallowed the food in her mouth, and answered the phone: "Hello."

"Such an aggressive tone. Am I disturbing your date with Mr. He?" After hanging out at the bars in the Henann food district in SoHo, You Feng went into an elegant and small open-air restaurant for dinner. The noise was a little noisy.

"What a stupid question. Does your ex-wife know about it?" Zhu Xia wiped his lips and spoke in a calm voice.

"Hey." You Feng smiled lazily, "Do you usually talk back to your Mr. He like this?"

One night, he first heard "our family" and now heard "your family". Zhu Xia was overwhelmed.

She glanced at He Lianzhou out of the corner of her eye.

The dim, foggy, granular light passed over the man's sharp outline, making his expression look grim.

"If you have something to say, please tell me now. If not, I'll hang up now." Zhu Xia said.

Only on this topic could he gain the upper hand. You Feng succeeded, and raised his eyebrows lazily: "Have you gone home? I'm at the Mexican restaurant, and I packed some tortilla snacks."

"Not yet." Zhu Xia asked, "Who are you having dinner with in the restaurant?"

The madman has been in Hong Kong for so many days, but he has only been to the restaurant a few times.

"Little girl, stop meddling in adults' business." You Feng lectured her in the tone of an old father, "Understand?"

"Just hold it." Zhu Xia said, I'm full now, not hungry, but I want to eat tortillas tomorrow. You stay in the restaurant until dawn and come back after buying some freshly baked tortillas.

You Feng sneered, "Do you think I'm just an errand boy?"

"When you are an old man."

The air pressure around seemed to drop a few points. Zhu Xia glanced over inadvertently and was caught off guard by He Lianzhou's gaze. She was stunned.

She chatted casually with You Feng and quickly hung up the phone.

"Have you been in contact with him?" He Lianzhou's voice was emotionless and his expression could not tell whether he was happy or angry.

Zhu Xia knew he was referring to the lunatic, so she strategically held the glass and took a sip of the sweet wine. She didn't look at him, but her eyes fell on the fruit plate on the dining table.

She nodded, and after a while, she said, "We are more in touch online. Offline... we only see each other during the Chinese New Year when Crazy Man returns to Beijing for a long time."

It had been nearly six years since Zhu Xia left London, and before coming to Hong Kong, Zhu Xia and Fengzi had only met three times.

"It's been a long time since we met." He Lianzhou repeated her words with an ambiguous tone, "Does it sound regretful?"

Zhu Xia suddenly raised her eyes to look at him: "Don't over-interpret my words."

"Why are you so nervous?" He Lianzhou looked straight at her and saw his appearance reflected in those beautiful pupils.

"I didn't." Zhu Xia denied.

"Afraid I'll misunderstand you?"

"……No."

This matter, after all, was Shang Xun's fault. For some reason, Master Shang had spread rumors that Zhu Xia and You Feng had an affair.

Zhu Xia herself doesn't care about the gossip, but some people do. She explained too much to He Lianzhou in the past, and she subconsciously explains it now.

He Lianzhou's deep gaze moved across Zhu Xia's face, and he stretched out his hand to pull her stool hard.

Zhu Xia's butt was still firmly sitting on the high stool, but her upper body, affected by inertia, fell into his arms.

In a panic, she pressed her hands on his legs wrapped in suit pants, and her palms felt firm and warm.

He Lianzhou drooped his eyelashes and looked down, watching Zhu Xia leisurely as she slowly raised her face. Her two big eyes, which were dotted with light, were now dazed.

At this time, the entire office building was empty, with only the lights on the top floor still dimly lit, illuminating the faces of the reunited men and women, allowing them to engrave each other's current appearance forever in their hearts.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Xia blinked her long eyelashes. There was mist at the corners of her eyes and she seemed confused.

"He Wensheng looked for you?" He said in a calm tone.

Zhu Xia sat up straighter. She wanted to increase the distance between their chairs, but the man's long legs were pressing against her so tightly that she couldn't move at all.

Zhu Xia gave up.

"Yeah." She nodded, her eyes falling on his broad shoulders, "I've met him twice, but I'm not familiar with him."

"Don't want to ask about our relationship?" He Lianzhou coaxed.

Zhu Xia raised her eyelids and looked at him with her black jade eyes without blinking.

"Will you tell me?" she asked.

"He Wensheng is the son of He Yanting and Jiang Yao." He Lianzhou said calmly, "Jiang Yao is my mother's half-sister."

Cheating on your sister-in-law during marriage?

Zhu Xia was so surprised that her rosy lips opened slightly.

How could the Jiang and He families allow such a big scandal to exist?

Ah, the child has been born. It is not okay to not allow it.

You Feng said that He Wensheng and He Lianzhou were one month apart... one month, it was such a niche word that she could not digest it for a while.

Zhu Xia had not heard the news of Jiang Qiyun and He Yanting's divorce.

There are too many interests involved for wealthy families, and if they divorce, it will affect two big families.

You can't leave easily.

Zhu Xia said nothing.

She has no right to judge other people's family affairs.

"Happy summer."

He Lianzhou suddenly called her name.

Zhu Xia immediately raised his eyes to look at him.

The man's pupils were extremely black, and when he stared at her, his eyes were so deep that they seemed to suck her in.

Zhu Xia dragged out a long "hmm" and said, "What's wrong?"

"My mother is planning to divorce."

He said something without any beginning or end, but Zhu Xia felt as if a huge rock had hit her heart. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, trying to get some answers from his expression. To no avail.

"you……"

I want to ask if you know.

But his words didn't sound like anger, but rather like guidance, hinting at something that made her unbelievable.

——Divorce and be with me.

Looking at He Lianzhou's calm and indifferent eyes, Zhu Xia was a little annoyed by her own wild thoughts.

This is the result of watching too many movies.

She is not married, so how can she be divorced?

And why would He Lianzhou be so involved with a divorced woman?

He Lianzhou stood up, took Zhu Xia's hand and led her back to the office.

There is a small coffee table in front of the large sofa, on which are placed fruit snacks, a computer, a notebook and a pen.

This lets her do whatever she wants.

"You go and get busy with your work." Zhu Xia sat on the soft sofa very consciously, "I'll use your computer to look up some medical information."

The sofa faced his desk, and he could see her just by looking up.

Similarly, when Zhu Xia looked up, she could see the man sitting behind the desk, holding a pen in his slender hands and signing the documents in a flamboyant manner.

She looked away, picked up her computer to look up information, and dealt with her unread emails. After looking at the electronic screen for more than 20 minutes, her eyes felt a little sore.

At this moment, a message popped up on the phone, it was from Lin Jiayue.

"Sumer, Song Chengyu is coming to Hong Kong City!"
