HIM!

CHAPTER 301 - HE DID NOT WANT TO BE AFFECTED BY ZHOU XING CHEN AGAIN

Do not want to be influenced by Zhou Xing Chen again

Liang Jia moved quickly. While Zhou Weiqing was still standing in a daze, she quickly dragged her suitcase to the front desk, turned sideways, and quickly grabbed her room card to head upstairs.

When Zhou Xing Chen saw Liang Jia, he had been struck dumb. He had not expected to see her here, much less see the sorrow that flashed across Liang Jia's face.

His face was pale, and his fingers were actually trembling slightly.

Seeing Liang Jia turn around and heading upstairs, Zhou Xing Chen's eyes flashed. He immediately tossed Xia Qin'er, who was wrapped around his arm, away. Without caring about what she looked like, he ran towards Liang Jia's back in large strides.

In his heart, a voice was warning him that he definitely could not let her escape once again. He absolutely could not let go of her hand again.

Zhou Xing Chen's heart was beating rapidly. His large hands were clenched into fists as he used all his strength to chase after the slim figure in front of him. His actions were so fast that those standing at the front desk were shocked to the point that their mouths were slightly agape.

Jia'er, listen to my explanation!

Afraid that Liang Jia might misunderstand about Xia Qin'er, Zhou Xing Chen wanted to stop her from closing the elevator door.

It was a pity that Zhou Xing Chen wasn't as fast as Liang Jia to escape. Just a second before Liang Jia slowly closed the elevator door, leaving behind a gap for him to clearly see her delicate cheeks.

Liang Jia's expression was indifferent, as if whether or not the elevator door closed was all her business. The moment the elevator door closed, Liang Jia still couldn't control her. A trace of sadness flashed through her eyes.

There was no need for that. Since things had already come to this, they had already agreed that they would never have anything to do with each other again. There was no need for them to bitterly urge each other to stay and hurt each other.

It was a bondage to both of them.

Liang Jia closed her eyes. She didn't want to think about it anymore, so she just quietly leaned against the wall of the elevator and waited for the floor to reach her room.

Seeing that Liang Jia's elevator door was closed, she turned and ran down the stairs, running from the first floor to the seventeenth floor, hoping to stop her as she entered the room.

Unfortunately, Zhou Xing Chen was one step too slow. When he came out from the staircase, he discovered that Liang Jia had used her card to open the door, seemingly unaware of his presence. She quickly closed the door behind her.

Zhou Xing Chen's eyes were deep as he slowly walked to Liang Jia's door.

His fingertips trembling as he caressed the door to Liang Jia's room. His sweating body was still somewhat restless, and his heart suddenly hurt.

He knew that just now, Liang Jia had sensed his existence. Otherwise, her body wouldn't have instantly stiffened for a moment before she opened the door. But he didn't understand why she had to hide from him and why she hadn't wanted to give him a chance.

Jia'er! Separated by the door, Zhou Xing Chen's voice was a little hoarse. He pressed against the door, trying to transmit his body's warmth to Liang Jia.

He lowered his eyes, suppressing the restlessness within his heart, and lowered his eyes, Jia'er, listen to my explanation. Xia Qin'er and I were not what you saw.

Heh, it wasn't what she saw. So what did it look like? Closer?

Separated by the door, Zhou Xing Chen's voice could be heard through the crack in the door. Liang Jia stood there quietly, listening to what Zhou Xing Chen had to say.

Yes, she had sensed Zhou Xing Chen's presence from the moment she had taken out her room key card. She hadn't expected him to be so stubborn, to actually come running upstairs to stop her.

Liang Jia didn't know how much effort he put into running this entire 17th floor. She only knew that Zhou Weiqing had come all this way just to stop her.

She pressed against the door and deeply closed her eyes. Her body weakly slid down the door as the corner of her mouth curled up into a mocking smile.

What was she thinking? It didn't matter. Why did her heart still hurt like this? His head also hurt so much that it felt like it was about to explode.

He couldn't keep thinking like this, and he couldn't keep going like this.

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes.

She could no longer conceive, and there would be no more children with Zhou Xing Chen. Moreover, the moment she looked at his face, she could only think of the two innocent children as well as the innocent Li Yin.

If this happened, how could she still be with Zhou Xing Chen?

Her eyes were deep, and regardless of what Zhou Xing Chen was whispering to her, she took her phone out of her pocket and called Ouyang Ye.

He was probably the only one who could help her right now to suppress her emotions. Only he could help her.

Ouyang Ye quickly picked up Liang Jia's call.

With a trace of uncertainty, Ouyang Ye seemed to find it hard to believe that Liang Jia would actually take the initiative to call him.

Hello? Ciaran, is it really you?"

Liang Jia lowered her eyes, her voice somewhat hoarse. In that instant, too much emotion was mixed in her voice. Slowly, she answered Ouyang Ye, It's me.

Ouyang Ye seemed to sense that Liang Jia wasn't doing so well, and was a little anxious.

What happened? Did something happen? I'll be back soon.

Liang Jia's expression was indifferent. Listening to Ouyang Ye's somewhat anxious voice, her eyes dimmed.

Yes. But it's not that there's a problem with my body, but … Liang Jia paused for a moment, and slowly touched the door with somewhat ice-cold fingers. With half closed eyes, she continued, I need you to accompany me in a play.

Acting?

Ouyang Ye's heart suddenly thumped, and his eyes instantly became deep. A feeling of unease spread to his heart, although he heard Liang Jia say that it wasn't about her body, but that he needed to accompany her in a play.

For some reason, that feeling of unease only grew stronger.

Without further ado, Ouyang Ye narrowed his eyes and handed the number plate to Xia Zhiyang. He turned around and left, rushing back to the hotel at top speed as if he couldn't hear Xia Zhiyang's shout.

For him right now, the most important thing was Liang Jia, not the bungee jumping he could play anywhere.

It was a distance from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, not to mention the distance from the foot of the mountain to the hotel.

Liang Jia hung up the phone and curled up into a ball. Hearing the hoarse voice outside of the door, Liang Jia narrowed her eyes and slowly stood up.

Not wanting to let Zhou Xing Chen affect her emotions any further, Liang Jia bit her lips and decided to stay away from the door.

She felt a slight headache and also felt a little tired after getting off the plane. She took the change of clothes and headed straight for the bathroom.

Since Zhou Xing Chen preferred to stay outside, he might as well stay there.

CHAPTER 302 - WHEN DID IT BECOME SO EASY TO BE SATISFIED?

Zhou Xing Chen's hands were trembling, at a complete loss of what to do.

He didn't even hear Liang Jia give a response. If he hadn't personally seen Liang Jia enter this place, he might have even thought that the room inside was empty.

Annoyed, Zhou Xing Chen furrowed his brows. Leaning against the door, he closed his eyes.

His heart ached. He knew that Liang Jia wasn't willing to respond, but he still stood in place and refused to leave. How could he be satisfied now that he was only able to stand a little closer to her?

The corner of his mouth curled up into a mocking smile.

When did he become so easily satisfied?

Perhaps it was because he had been waiting for too long, but there was no response. Zhou Xing Chen furrowed his brow, thinking that Liang Jia's health had never been too good. A thread of panic suddenly seized his heart.

Could something have happened? The thought suddenly filled his mind.

Zhou Chen's expression darkened.

When he thought that Liang Jia might have already fainted, or perhaps she was already unconscious, his heart began to fiercely beat.

Jia'er? Are you there? Jia'er! Give me some answers! "

Zhou Chen frowned and kept banging on the door, his voice growing louder. Even if it was just cursing or hating him, he still hoped that Liang Jia would give him a response and not be as silent as he was now.

However, no matter how loud the knocking or knocking was, there was no movement in the room at all.

It was completely silent.

Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes, suppressed his panic, and kicked the door open.

Ever since she had been shaken off by Zhou Xing Chen, Xia Qin'er had been sitting on the icy cold tiles, unable to control her body any longer, and she started to tremble violently.

So it was still like this! When Zhou Xing Chen saw Liang Jia, he would still treat her like this!

It was likely that he had long since known that Liang Jia would come here, which was why he had left her at home to come here! If she hadn't insisted on following them, she wouldn't have known that Liang Jia would be here at all.

She bit her lips and couldn't help but cry bitterly.

The assistant couldn't stand watching on any longer. Although she felt disgusted, she still helped Xia Qin'er complete the formalities and lead her to her room.

However, the assistant never thought that Xia Qin'er didn't care about his existence at all. Just as he was about to put his luggage in, he was suddenly shut out by Xia Qin'er. He almost bumped his nose.

It was no wonder that Young Master Zhou didn't like her. Xia Qin'er was truly a woman …

However, he didn't expect that in less than half a minute, the door was opened again. Xia Qin'er rushed out with a pale face. Her eyes were red. She suddenly grabbed his clothes and asked with a hoarse voice.

Where is Xing Chen? I'm going to find him. "

The room Liang Jia had booked was luxurious and very spacious. Opposite the door was a glass window, which allowed one to see the entire small city. On the right side of the glass window was another room.

The room was very quiet. Other than the opened suitcase, there was no signs of human life at all.

Zhou Xing Chen frowned, searching the room.

Jia'er?

No one answered.

Zhou Xing Chen suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and pushed open the last door. Smoke curled up around him, as if he had entered the realm of immortals.

The room was a classical and elegant bath. Through the glass, one could see the view of the entire city from above. Perhaps it was because the mist was too large, making the glass appear blurry.

Liang Jia quietly lied in the bath. Her white and delicate skin seemed like an immortal under the swirling mist of water. It was crystal clear, and under the mist's contrast, it became somewhat indistinct. Her face was flushed and her long black hair floated like brocade on the surface of the water. She raised her head and turned her face to the side, sleeping peacefully by the pool like an undisturbed fairy.

What a beautiful bathrobe.

Zhou Xing Chen was struck dumb for a moment. His gaze turned profound as his pupils contracted slightly. He stared at Liang Jia's faintly discernible fair skin, suppressing the blood energy within him.

He stepped forward quietly and looked at her sleeping profile with a sigh. His large hand slowly stroked the somewhat flushed and exquisite face of Liang Jia. The outline of her face became a bit gentler, and the look in his eyes towards Liang Jia also became a bit gentler.

It seemed that she had been staying in the bathroom for too long, so she had unknowingly fallen asleep. This woman really wouldn't take good care of herself no matter where she went.

The corners of Zhou Xing Chen's lips curled up in a gentle smile.

He bent down slightly and gently picked her up.

It had been a long time since he had hugged her like this. When he looked down, he could feel the familiar scent that he hadn't felt in a long time. Every night, he would carry her to sleep.

He had felt satisfied just a moment ago, but now he felt extremely dissatisfied.

Xia Qin'er asked the receptionist if she wanted to speak with her, so she went all the way to her room.

She definitely wouldn't allow this. She couldn't stand by and watch Zhou Xing Chen and Liang Jia reunite. He was her, Xia Qin'er. How could he possibly torment her like this?

He had already eaten her dinner and allowed her to live in the Zhou Family. She was clearly just a little bit away from success and she could be with Xing Chen again, but why would Liang Jia appear in front of her and destroy her relationship with Xing Chen?! As long as she did not show up, he would fall in love with her once more!

No, she wasn't willing. She had to get to the bottom of this, she had to find out whether or not Xing Chen still loved her!

The door to the 17th floor was open. Xia Qin'er didn't even need to knock to see what was going on inside.

She stood there in a daze, looking at the scene in front of her with disbelief.

Zhou Xing Chen carefully walked out of the bathroom with Liang Jia, who was completely naked, in his arms. His face was gentle, as if he couldn't see the Xia Qin'er in front of him. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he carried Liang Jia around the stunned Xia Qin'er, walking straight to Liang Jia's bed.

Xia Qin'er's face paled as she abruptly retracted her fingers. Her large hands were tightly clenched into a ball, and she was unable to feel anything despite her nails digging into her flesh.

She opened her mouth and tried to scream.

However, Zhou Xing Chen seemed to understand her thoughts, but his eyes were deep as he gave her a quick glance. After that, Xia Qin'er bit her lips, not daring to say another word.

She understood Zhou Xing Chen's intentions. If she dared to make a sound at this moment, she would be in dire straits. It was even possible that Zhou Xing Chen would throw her into some place with nowhere to run to.

Thinking of this, Xia Qin'er felt as if a switch had been turned in her throat, making her unable to speak.

Did Zhou Xing Chen really love Liang Jia that much? Then what were these days of hers?

CHAPTER 303 - THE ONLY PERSON HE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT WAS THE PERSON IN HIS EMBRACE …

The only person he cared about was the person in his arms

Zhou Xing Chen didn't know what Xia Qin'er was thinking, nor did he have the interest to know what she was thinking.

The only person he was concerned about was the person in his embrace.

With gentle movements, he carefully placed her on the bed. After drying her long black hair with a towel, he dared to carefully let her sleep on the soft bed.

The room was heated up, and Zhou Xing Chen gently covered her with a blanket. He used a snow-white blanket to cover her graceful figure, then suddenly lowered his head, pressing it against Liang Jia's forehead.

The corners of Zhou Xing Chen's mouth curved into a smile. His eyes were fixed on Liang Jia's rosy white cheeks, and they were locked tightly onto her dark red lips. He couldn't help but want to commit a crime, he thought to himself.

With that thought, he lowered his head, ignoring the fiery gaze that Xia Qin'er was watching from the side. Laughing lightly, he suddenly stepped forward and retrieved Liang Jia's red lips, which were currently being picked by someone. He didn't dare to wake Liang Jia up.

His large hand also slowly played with Liang Jia's black hair. Her mood was elated as she hooked up a smile.

Reaching out to cover her head with the sheet, he gently placed a kiss on her forehead. Only then did Zhou Xing Chen turn to look at Xia Qin'er.

As if he had just noticed Xia Qin'er's presence, he narrowed his eyes slightly. His gaze instantly became somewhat gloomy, without the slightest trace of tenderness and honey from before; it had become sharp and terrifying.

Xia Qin'er winced and bit her lip.

Seeing Zhou Xing Chen actually treat Liang Jia like this, even secretly kissing her face, her large hands were tightly clenched. Her heart felt as if it was on fire and she wished she were dead.

She was jealous. She had no way to control her jealousy. Why? Just what right did Liang Jia have to receive such treatment from Zhou Xing Chen? Yet she could only stand there helplessly, not daring to move at all.

The room was very quiet. Zhou Xing Chen's gaze was filled with an unquestionable deterrence, causing Xia Qin'er to unconsciously shudder in fear.

However, Xia Qin'er also knew that if she woke Liang Jia up, there wouldn't be any good results at all.

Therefore, no matter how much she resented Liang Jia, she still suppressed it and endured it.

Zhou Xing Chen glanced at her for a moment before frowning slightly. He was worried that Xia Qin'er wouldn't be able to resist waking her up. With great difficulty, Jia'er had to rest for a moment. He couldn't let her ruin this.

Zhou Xing Chen frowned, not wanting to let Xia Qin'er disturb Liang Jia. With a reluctant look, he continued to touch Liang Jia, then turned around and left.

It was unknown when the assistant was waiting at the entrance again. Even the hotel manager was standing outside the door.

Zhou Xing Chen's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He moved quickly, and Xia Qin'er was even more so. She immediately retreated from Liang Jia's room.

Carefully closing the door, Zhou Xing Chen looked up at the manager and lazily said, Lock the door well. Also, the quality of your door isn't too good, so you'll need to be even more sturdy.

What if someone did this to him?

Yes, Young Master Zhou.

The hotel manager was a bit embarrassed. He thought to himself that there was no one who would dare to open the door like you, and even wanted the hotel to apologize to you.

However, even though he was complaining, the hotel manager still locked the door very seriously.

The assistant glanced at Zhou Xing Chen, then at the pale-faced Xia Qin'er. It seemed as if he had understood something, and he tactfully left.

However, Zhou Xing Chen didn't care at all. He didn't plan on explaining anything to Xia Xin'er either. He just glanced at Liang Jia's door, turned around, and walked away.

The unexpected events of today caused him to feel slightly happy.

The room was heated, and the sun shone through the clear glass in the carpeted room, warm and harmonious.

It had been a long time since she had seen the sunlight. All of a sudden, when she came in contact with the light, she felt a little uncomfortable. Her eyes suddenly narrowed, and she could barely see her surroundings clearly.

Her hair was dry and her head hurt, but she had slept well.

She squinted as she saw a person sitting beside her. The person in front of her turned out to be Ouyang Ye.

Ouyang Ye also seemed to be aware of Liang Jia's movements. His eyes looked at her indifferently.

Ciaran, you're awake? How do you feel?

Ouyang Ye?

Why was he here?

She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. A mess of thoughts flew through her mind before she finally remembered why she was in bed.

It seemed as if she had a headache and did not want Zhou Xing Chen outside her door to worry about her thoughts. She gave Ouyang Ye a call, then went to take a bath.

But she didn't expect that she would fall asleep in the bath.

As if she had thought of something, her heart skipped a beat and she carefully tucked the sheets under Ouyang Ye's gaze. When she turned over, she already sensed something and thought it was just an illusion. She didn't expect it to really just be covered by a towel.

Had Ouyang Ye carried her here when she was sleeping in the bath? Otherwise, how did Ouyang Ye get in? Did Zhou Xing Chen really leave after her long silence?

Liang Jia's mind was filled with countless threads of thoughts. Her slender white hands were trembling, and she didn't dare to make any wild guesses.

Did Ouyang Ye know?

She was wrapped in a bath towel.

But no matter how flustered Liang Jia was, she was still Liang Jia. Deep in her heart, she was desperately flustered, yet on the surface, it was as normal as usual. There was nothing out of the ordinary.

Her red lips slightly parted, her eyes indifferent. She didn't answer Ouyang Ye but instead asked, When did you get here?

He smiled warmly at her. I've been waiting here for you for a long time, very anxious. I waited for uncle and told him to open the door and come in to see how you were doing. I didn't expect you to make an emergency call and fall asleep here on your own, it was all for nothing that I was worried about you.

For some reason, when she heard Ouyang Ye's answer, Liang Jia abruptly breathed a sigh of relief.

Not him.

Who else could it be?

Liang Jia's eyelashes trembled slightly. Thinking about the Zhou Weiqing who had shouted before she fell asleep, a layer of red appeared on her face.

It wasn't Ouyang Ye, and he was the only one.

Although they had been husband and wife for so long, she couldn't help but blush at the thought of Zhou Xing Chen carrying her out of the bath.

It shouldn't, it shouldn't, Liang Jia.

CHAPTER 304 - I DON'T WANT TO SEE HER NOW

I don't want to see her anymore

Thinking about how she was still wrapped in a towel under the sheets, he felt as if he could feel how Zhou Xing Chen's large hands had lifted her out of the bath.

She bit her lip, forcing herself to stop thinking about Zhou Xing Chen. Instead, she felt as if her skin was boiling hot from being hugged.

Seeing Liang Jia's red face, Ouyang Ye frowned and was somewhat puzzled.

Jia Jia Jia Jia, what's wrong? Is there a fever? "

Ouyang Ye said as he moved his hand forward to cover Liang Jia's forehead.

Liang Jia turned her head abruptly, as if she didn't want Ouyang Ye to touch her. Ouyang Ye's hand stopped awkwardly in the air.

But Ouyang Ye didn't mind at all. He just stared at the woman in front of him with deep eyes and slowly lowered his hand.

He knew that it would take a very long time for the current Liang Jia to accept him. But that didn't matter. He could wait, and he would definitely get it!

Liang Jia pursed her lips, and the flush on her face retreated in a split-second. She seemed to have just remembered that Ouyang Ye was still here. Liang Jia turned around and smiled faintly at him.

I'm fine, I'm just a bit tired. Why don't you go out first? I still need to rest.

Hearing Liang Jia's words, Ouyang Ye's hand was tightly clenched, as if it was very uncomfortable. But looking at Liang Jia's calm and indifferent face, Ouyang Ye felt that she was overthinking things. Liang Jia couldn't possibly have feelings now. After all, she had already been deeply wounded by Zhou Xing Chen.

Seeing Liang Jia narrowing her eyes with a faint blush still on her face, Ouyang Ye assumed that this was the first time he had seen her so shy. She didn't think much about it.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to listen to Liang Jia's words and let her have a good rest.

Here, Ouyang Ye was gentle and considerate, while Xia Qin'er was capable of making people quiver.

Originally, Zhou Xing Chen had been overjoyed by today's events, and had no intentions of bickering with Xia Xin'er. However, there was someone like this, someone who she would bicker with even if you didn't bicker with her.

Xia Ying'er stood in front of Zhou Xing Chen, her eyes fixed on the man reading a book on the desk. She yelled at the man, seemingly asking him to give her an explanation.

Xing Chen! Why is that!? What exactly are you so good to Liang Jia? The person you should love is me. Liang Jia clearly saw you and left, so why do you have to obsess over her? "

Seeing no reaction from the man, Xia Qin'er lowered her head and continued to look through her information. His tone softened again.

Xing Chen, have you forgotten? You said you were going to marry me, remember? You can't just give up on me because of her.

You forget? Didn't you eat my cooking that day just to start over with me? Why did everything change when she appeared? Just tell me, why is it like this?

At last, Xia Qin'er couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her fingers were tightly pressed together, as if she was going to be shocked in the next second.

However, Zhou Xing Chen still ignored her. He frowned slightly, thinking that Xia Qin'er was making too much noise. Only then did he raise his eyes to look at her.

His black eyes seemed to have been injected with extremely cold ice water, instantly suppressing the sound of Xia Qin'er's weeping.

Staring at Xia Qin'er's tear-stained face, and Xia Qin'er's anticipating eyes, his aura became even colder. There was even a hint of impatience on his face, and he didn't want to listen to any more of what she had to say.

His voice was extremely cold, as if a voice from hell itself. His thin lips slightly parted, as if he didn't see Xia Qin'er's choked with despair. He coldly spat out two words.

Get out.

Xing Chen, you can't do this!

Seeing that Zhou Xing Chen really wanted to chase her away, Xia Qin'er shook her head in fear. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she shook her head, the bodyguards on her left and right dragged her down.

Zhou Xing Chen flipped through the folder in front of him, his eyes as cold as if he had fallen into a land of ice.

The group of people who were about to drag Xia Qin'er down also stopped in their tracks. A glimmer of hope rose in Xia Qin'er's eyes, hoping that Zhou Xing Chen would change his mind temporarily.

However, Zhou Xing Chen's cold gaze once more fell upon Xia Qin'er. As if he didn't find it enough to provoke her, he turned to his assistant and ordered her.

Throw her back for me. I don't want to see her anymore.

NO! Xing Chen! You can't do this!

Xia Qin'er shook her head vigorously. She wanted to grab Zhou Xing Chen's wrist and plead for mercy, but the bodyguard didn't give her the chance to do so. He dragged her out of the inn without the slightest hesitation.

Even the assistant had packed her suitcase in the shortest time possible, bought her a plane ticket, and forced her to board the plane.

Xia Qin'er's eyes were empty. She desperately kept the plane ticket, her face filled with loneliness.

How she wanted to tear the ticket in her hand apart!

After such a ruckus, Zhou Xing Chen was no longer in the mood to take care of any official matters. Instead, he grew impatient with Xia Qin'er. He suddenly thought of Liang Jia's sleeping face, that peaceful and beautiful face.

He couldn't help but smile. He didn't know if she was awake yet.

He lifted his eyes and saw a hint of light shining through the window at the cloudy sky. The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he let out a sigh of relief.

It was already dawn. It would not be good if he continued sleeping.

With a smile, he narrowed his eyes and stood up. Then let's go and see if she's sleeping or not.

Thinking back to Liang Jia's graceful figure last night, as well as that fragrant kiss, Zhou Xing Chen felt her mood lighten. No matter what attitude she would take, he would always lower his head and admit her mistakes.

Thinking of how Liang Jia's embarrassment had turned into anger, Zhou Xing Chen was overjoyed.

Only, he didn't expect to see the cleaning aunt going in and out of the room before he even arrived in front of Liang Jia's door.

Zhou Xing Chen narrowed his eyes, a sense of unease rising within him.

He walked quickly to the door and flung it open.

Sure enough, the room was empty. Only his aunt stopped in her tracks and looked at him strangely.

Zhou Xing Chen's eyes turned icy cold. He narrowed his eyes and glared at the cleaning aunt. Speak, where did she go?

The aunt was a little dazed, and she was so frightened by Zhou Weiqing that she couldn't help but shiver. Stuttering, she said: This guest has checked out.

He checked out?!

Heh. Zhou Xing Chen snickered, a sarcastic smile on his face.

That's right, he should have thought of it long ago. This woman definitely wouldn't stay here and wait for him. It was just that he didn't expect her to run away overnight!

Did he really make her so disgusted that she didn't even want to look at him and directly moved out of here!?

Zhou Xing Chen narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips, his fingers suddenly clenching into a fist.

CHAPTER 305 - DINNER

The thought of Zhou Xing Chen carrying her naked body in his arms made her feel as if her face was on fire.

In the empty room, Liang Jia had finally changed her clothes. She looked in the direction of the bathroom and became absent-minded. She couldn't continue like this.

She could no longer be controlled by Zhou Xing Chen. If she continued like this, it would be no different from back then.

She had already agreed that she would let Zhou Xing Chen go as well as her off the hook.

Closing her eyes, Liang Jia tightly suppressed the thoughts in her heart. When she opened her eyes again, the turmoil in her heart just now had completely disappeared, leaving only clarity.

She opened the door and quietly glanced at Ouyang Ye, who was still standing outside. Lowering her eyes, he unhurriedly stated, I plan to take the two o'clock plane tonight. If you want to stay here, please take care of my father.

Leaving was the wisest decision. She knew that Zhou Weiqing would find an excuse tomorrow, and he might even pester her to the point where he wouldn't let her go.

Since she had the opportunity, she naturally had to stay away from Zhou Xing Chen.

No matter how determined she was, she wouldn't be able to get past Li Yin until she had investigated him thoroughly.

She made up her mind that she would have to go back after she bought a plane ticket for two in the evening. Since she could meet him anywhere else, why would she need to come from one city to another? Wouldn't it be better to go back to the original place?

Being so mercilessly chased out by Zhou Xing Chen, Xia Qin'er felt wronged in her heart, but there was no way she could be angry at him. She loved him. She had truly fallen in love with him.

No matter how unreconciled she was, it was fine. However, in the end, Xia Qin`er had never been able to bear even the slightest bit of resentment towards Zhou Xing Chen.

After getting off the plane, Xia Qin'er had nowhere to go, so she could only return to the Zhou Mansion.

Although Zhou Xing Chen had said that he had mercilessly chased her away in X City, he had never once said that he wanted to kick her out of the Zhou Family. The corners of her lips curled up into a smile, and she thought that she still had some leeway.

After all, she was quite familiar with the Zhou family.

It seemed that Xia Qin'er had long since forgotten how Liang Ri treated her. As soon as he entered the Zhou household, he walked in as if there was no one around, as if he was already the mistress of the household.

Xia Qin'er had always been like this, ever since she was a child in the Xia family. When she was sad, she would never allow anyone to speak ill of her. Moreover, it was a good thing that she was well served.

Perhaps having been a haughty young miss for so many years, even without her status as a daughter of the Xia family, and without the rights of the Xia group, Xia Qin'er still regarded herself as a young miss. But after all, she used to have Ning Li Han.

So no matter how sad she felt, Xia Qin`er wanted Liang Rian to pass her a cup of tea the moment she entered the room. It was an insult to Liang Rian's many years of upbringing and upbringing.

Liang Rian sat on the sofa and, hearing Xia Qin`er's venting words, gently closed the magazine he was reading. He gave her a demure smile and left her alone.

Xia Qin'er was also stunned for a moment before reacting. Her face immediately turned pale.

It's not Mom, I …

Heh, Mom?

Liang Ri's lips curled up into a smile, as if he hadn't heard Xia Qin'er's words. His eyes didn't seem to have any trace of Xia Qin'er in them. He only suddenly began to reminisce about her.

Glancing at the pale-faced Xia Qin'er, Liang Yan turned his head away and no longer looked at her. Instead, he took out his phone and sent a message to Liang Jia.

Jia Yue, if you have the time, you're welcome to come over for a meal right now.

In the past, she might have been too harsh, but Liang Jia had indeed been raised by her.

Liang Jia, on the other hand, had just gotten off the plane and was rushing back to the Xia Family with his bags and bags of luggage. He had no idea what was going on in the Zhou Family, but even though he had met Zhou Xing Chen on this trip, she did not know why, but she was no longer as relaxed as he was before.

However, when she received Liang Jia's text message, her first thought was still the death of her mother. Recently, she had been so focused on keeping track of Zhou Weiqing that she had forgotten to investigate her mother's death.

He didn't know if what Liang Yan said last time was true or not, but Liang Jia still had doubts about her mother's accidental death. She stopped and quietly watched the message Liang Yan had sent. Her eyes narrowed.

Eating?
