"Cousin......" Xia Zixuan called weakly, wanting to step forward but couldn't take a step, the unwelcome in Xia Yan's eyes was too strong, he didn't dare to step forward, he was afraid of annoying him again.

Xia Yan's face sank, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth pulled out a trace of sarcasm: "Speak, what are you doing?" Or is it that grandpa can't wait for you to come and take over Xia's branch in City A? ”

Xia Zixuan's face turned pale, and he hurriedly explained: "No, brother, grandpa didn't ask me to do anything, you know, even if he wants me to do something, but my interest is always not here." ”

He was afraid that Xia Yan would misunderstand, so he called his brother again, and only regretted it when he finished speaking, Xia Yan had made it clear that he would not call him brother again. Thinking of this, the sparkle in his eyes darkened a little.

"Humph!" Xia Yan snorted coldly, not wanting to speak, but walked directly sideways, determined to treat Xia Zixuan as transparent to the end.

"Cousin!" Xia Zixuan had the courage to stop him, his eyes were full of eagerness, "I...... I have something to tell you! ”

Xia Yan paused, obviously irritable in his heart, but he still couldn't help but stop, he hated himself like this.

"Say!" He hated to spit out a word.

Xia Zixuan hesitated for a while before he whispered: "I saw it today, I saw Miao Yiyang, does she know that you are in City A?" She, she's ......"

Originally, he wanted to ask Miao Yiyang why he appeared in City A, he knew the relationship between Xia Yan and Miao Yiyang, and he also knew that Xia Yan had always had someone in his heart, but it was because of this that he was even more worried.

It's just that he didn't know, and his worry sounded more like a temptation to Xia Yan.

"What does this have to do with you?" Xia Yan responded coldly, "Take care of yourself!" If you want to use this to deal with me, you can go back to the capital and tell grandpa! ”

Xia Zixuan was anxious, his mind was in a mess, and the three-inch tongue that usually hooked up with people was completely useless at the moment: "I didn't mean that!" I ......"

"Whether you mean it or not!" Xia Yan turned around suddenly, his cold gaze approaching him, "I don't care!" ”

Xia Zixuan was silent, he knew that no matter how much he explained, it was useless, he lowered his head gloomily, and said sullenly: "Cousin, whether you believe it or not, I never thought of dealing with you, I am still the same Ah Xuan before, and I have never changed." By the way, next week's awards party, if you don't want to see me, I won't show up. I'll go first, you rest early. ”

When he finished speaking, he actually had expectations in his heart, he hoped that Xia Yan would not be angry with himself, but the facts told him that he still thought too much.

Xia Yan didn't say anything to stay, his eyes dimmed, he turned around and left, like an abandoned child, his back was indescribably lonely.

"Mr. Xia......" Assistant Li watched the whole process and tried to say something, but found that he had no position at all, or didn't know what to say.

Xia Yan ignored Assistant Li's words and stopped, he looked at the direction Xia Zixuan left and felt irritable.

Is it still the same brother from before?

No, how can he have any younger brothers? The only thing he had was his sister.

Not wanting to bring the bad mood to Xia Xia, he didn't go upstairs again, but drove to another place - downstairs of Zhong Nian's apartment.

Opening the door and looking up, Xia Yan looked at the lights on a certain floor, and his irritable mood miraculously calmed down.

"Niannian, I'm back from the capital." He muttered under his breath, and then the bitter sensation spread throughout his body.

He didn't know how long he had been standing downstairs in Zhong Nian, and he didn't turn around until he saw the lights in her room go out.

Just as soon as he turned around, he saw Miao Yiyang standing a few steps away.

"Why are you here?" Xia Yan had a calm face, a little angry at Miao Yiyang's appearance.

"I know you're back today, and I think you're going to be here, so try your luck here." Miao Yiyang smiled bitterly, his tenderness would never be given to others except Zhong Nian and Xia Xia, that was her extravagant hope.

Xia Yan didn't speak, he suddenly remembered Xia Zixuan's words not long ago, he saw Miao Yiyang?

Thinking of this, he stared at Miao Yiyang with a complicated face, as if asking, "Have you decided to stay in City A?" ”

"Yes." Miao Yiyang had no intention of hiding it.

Xia Yan took a step forward: "If this is your decision, I won't interfere, but!" His eyes narrowed, and the fierceness of his whole body gathered together, "The previous agreement is invalid!" Lu Qinglan's magazine, you don't need to do it anymore, do you understand? ”

"That's the only thing you want to say to me?" Miao Yiyang raised his head.

"Yes."

Miao Yiyang involuntarily clenched his fists, sneering coldly in his heart, but with a well-behaved look on his face: "Okay." ”

Xia Yan glanced at her, turned around and was about to get into the car, but paused the moment he opened the door: "Also, in the future, don't come here again." ”

Miao raised his head violently, but he didn't even see the back of his head.

The car was gone, and after a long time, her stiff body moved, she dialed a number, and her voice did not have the slightest temperature: "Mr. Xia, I have thought about it, I promise to help you." ”

After Secretary Yang's faction was completely over, Lu Qinglan and Ye Tingshen moved back to their home, and after spending a pleasant weekend, the awards party of the competition came as scheduled.

Prior to this, Mr. Zhang had told Lu Qinglan in advance that their magazine had won a certain award.

This is the first honor that belongs to them Yiyue, and if they don't want to be rude, Lu Qinglan specially purchased an evening dress for Xiao Gu, Shi Xiaorui and Miao Yiyang, who participated in the party together.

Ye Tingshen was busy with business and couldn't leave her and couldn't accompany her to receive the award, so he carefully explained a lot of precautions to the driver, and even told him to call him if he had something, Lu Qinglan agreed with a smile.

She and Xiao Gu arrived at the door of the hotel together, and the moment she got out of the car, she felt a strong gaze on her body.

Looking up in confusion, she found that it was Xia Yan.

Xiao Gu followed his line of sight and saw that it was Xia Yan who leaned towards Lu Qinglan without a trace, and at the same time stared at Xia Yan vigilantly.

Sensing her nervousness, Lu Qinglan patted her hand.

And at this time, Xia Yan walked in front of them.

"Lu Qinglan." He spoke, his face complicated.

Lu Qinglan was neither humble nor arrogant, and met his gaze without fear: "Mr. Xia." ”

Apathetic and detached.

Xia Yan looked at her quietly for a few seconds, and finally spit out with difficulty: "I'm sorry for the previous things." ”

Lu Qinglan didn't expect him to say this, and the surprise on his face didn't have time to hide, and it all fell into Xia Yan's eyes.

"Don't be surprised." He sneered to solve her doubts, "I apologize, I don't want to push Niannian farther and farther, after all, you are the friend she cares about the most." ”

I see, this is like Xia Yan's style.

Lu Qinglan is clear, but this does not mean that she can say generously that it doesn't matter, once some things are done, her position will not change.

This is not only her, but Xia Yan also sees it very clearly. It's just that there are some things he won't say, for example, he found that dealing with women is not a gentleman's doing, for example, he has given up dealing with Ye Tingshen.

Without too much communication, everything was well understood, and the two separated, without saying a word, and looked like strangers.

It's just that many people who participated in the awards ceremony today have known or seen the relationship between Xia Yan and Lu Qinglan is not ordinary, and now they suddenly see such a picture, and they are secretly suspicious.

Lu Qinglan naturally knows the reason why some people look at her strangely, but she has never cared about other people's opinions, so she will not be at ease at all, and she is still normal.

"Lu Qinglan!" As soon as Xia Zixuan entered the venue, he saw Lu Qinglan and Xiao Gu with sharp eyes, and ran in front of them excitedly.

"Why are you again?" Xiao Gu's dislike is self-evident.

"Why can't it be me?" Xia Zixuan raised his eyebrows and raised his bar, "Let me tell you, the more you don't want to see me, the more I want to appear in front of you, hum!" ”

"You!" Xiao Gu was angry, but considering the current occasion, she couldn't help but be angry.

Seeing her angry appearance, Xia Zixuan was even happier, and then looked at Lu Qinglan, who didn't speak, with a look on his face: "Lu Qinglan, how did you think about it last time?" I'll tell you, I've been entangled in other things these two days, otherwise I would have gone to your magazine office a long time ago. ”

His gaze burned, and the heat did not abate.

Originally, when Lu Qinglan heard that Xia Zixuan didn't go to the magazine again, he thought that his three-minute popularity had passed, but he didn't expect it to be not.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xia Zixuan hurriedly urged: "Hey, Lu Qinglan, you say it." ”

"Not considered." Lu Qinglan glanced at him and said calmly.

"Huh?" Xia Zixuan obviously didn't expect such an answer, and in the next second, he changed his face and complained with a sad face, "Lu Qinglan, do you say that you are so ruthless?" ”

Lu Qinglan had a headache when he saw him, this Xia Zixuan, why does he always play cards according to common sense?

Seeing that it was time to take a seat, she sighed silently and said, "Xia Zixuan, I don't have time to play with you, it's time to take a seat, you are here as a sponsor, right?" Sit down in your own seat. ”

"Lu Qinglan, I didn't play." Xia Zixuan suddenly became serious, and added very stubbornly, "I really want to be friends with you, really." ”

Lu Qinglan looked up at him and found that his eyes were the same as last time, innocent and unbearable to refuse.

Looking away, she remembered Ye Tingshen's words, took a deep breath, and finally made a decision: "Okay, I agree." ”

"Really?" Xia Zixuan was so excited that he couldn't believe it.

"Really." Lu Qinglan nodded, with no special expression, "Can you let me go to my seat now?" ”

"Hey, hey! There you go! I'm going too, let's go together! At this moment, Xia Zixuan is as happy as a child who has eaten sugar.

Not far away, Xia Yan saw the interaction between the two in his eyes, and doubts surged in his heart. But the doubts did not last long, because, the awards officially began.
