Chapter 155: I want to keep my distance
I've been sitting at the table for a while, but the contents of the plate haven't touched at all. It's not that the breakfast is too unpalatable, it's not that there is no appetite, it's that Situ Jiluo has no mind now.
It's been almost half an hour since he came down to the restaurant, and he watched people coming and going, but he didn't see Zi Ling's figure, and even Zhan Chengxi's guy didn't see it, which couldn't help but make him feel very uneasy.
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a hand was on his shoulder, which made him startled. When he raised his head, he just saw Hu Yanxiu and Yan Xinuo each holding a plate of food and sitting opposite him.
"I heard Brother Wei Jian say that you have been coming to the restaurant for a long time, have you not eaten yet, or have you eaten the first round?"
Today's breakfast in the hotel restaurant is still buffet-style, and seeing that the plates in front of Situ Jiluo are still full of food, Hu Yanxiu asked curiously. As he spoke, he had already shoved a mini doughnut into his mouth.
"Not hungry."
After responding to Hu Yanxiu's words very perfunctorily, Situ Jiluo's eyes looked in the direction of the door again. Hu Yanxiu glanced at him, didn't continue to ask, and buried his head in eating.
Hu Yanxiu didn't care about Situ Jiluo, but the other person, that is, Yan Xinuo, noticed Situ Jiluo's expression as soon as he arrived at the restaurant, and he could see at a glance that he was waiting for someone, waiting for Zi Ling.
Originally, he didn't want to tell him Zi Ling's whereabouts, but seeing that Situ Jiluo had always looked like this, he finally couldn't help it. He coughed lightly in displeasure and said in a low voice.
"Don't wait, she's already back in Singapore."
After finishing speaking, Yan Xinuo didn't wait for Situ Jiluo's reaction, got up from his seat and walked out of the restaurant. He didn't want to see Situ Jiluo like this, because he was afraid that he would waver.
However, when he returned to his room, his mobile phone rang. When he saw the "hidden" phone number written on the caller ID, he couldn't help frowning. After a few seconds of pause, he connected the phone.
"Uncle Stuart?"
Hearing the familiar voice on the other end of the phone, Yan Xinuo couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then asked with some uncertainty. Although it is said that the Yan family and the Situ family are world friends, he rarely has contact with Situ Dao, let alone on the phone, so when he suddenly calls, Yan Xinuo will be a little uncertain.
Hearing those amiable words, Yan Xinuo was sure that the other party was his father's friend, Situ Dao. The two talked politely for a while, and then Situ Dao seemed to propose something, which made Yan Xinuo's face change.
"If it's good, make an appointment with tomorrow."
Ten minutes later, after Yan Xinuo finished saying that, he hung up the phone. Throwing the phone aside, Yan Xinuo collapsed on the sofa very weakly.
With his eyes closed, thinking about Situ Dao's appointment to meet him tomorrow, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, not only because he didn't know what the other party was looking for him, but also because he was hesitant to mention to him the marriage between Situ Jiluo and Zi Ling.
After all, this marriage was decided by the elders of the two families together, and now that his father is gone, Yan Xinuo feels that he is not easy to say it.
The sudden death of his father, Zi Ling's unhappiness, and suddenly, it seemed that all the burdens were on his shoulders, and Yan Xinuo felt pressured. But no matter what, he has promised his father, then he will definitely be a real man, be the pillar of the Yan family, support the Yan family, and shield the rest of the Yan family from the wind and rain.
This Asian music festival is the last public event in this circle, and when he returns after the end, he will start the next journey of his life, a new journey.
After nearly a five-hour flight, the flight from Taiwan to Singapore finally arrived at Singapore Changi Airport. After passing through customs and receiving their luggage, everyone walked out of the exit and was surrounded by several "elves".
Although Zi Ling's flight back to China was temporarily changed, and she also did enough secrecy work, there were still some fans with a wide range of channels who knew her movements and waited early, but they also happened to be blocked.
Zhan Chengxi saw that Zi Ling's condition was not very good, and he originally wanted to block these few fans, but he didn't expect Zi Ling to stop him and tell him that there was nothing wrong with him.
Ten minutes later, after autographing fans and taking photos, they finally walked out of the airport. After getting into the nanny car, which had been waiting outside, they headed in the direction of the company.
Zi Ling went back to his lounge, and Zhan Chengxi went to the brokerage department to inform them, saying that they had returned to China. After chatting with his colleagues for a while, Zhan Chengxi went downstairs to Ziling's lounge.
"Ziling, you can go, I'll send you back, right?"
Seeing Zi Ling sitting on the sofa resting with her eyes closed, Zhan Chengxi really couldn't bear to call her, but how could she say that it was better to go back to your own house to rest than here, okay? Thinking about it, he stepped forward to wake her up.
The shallow purple spirit woke up immediately after Zhan Chengxi called her. Rubbing her eyes, she realized what Zhan Chengxi had just said. Picking up the handbag that was put aside, Zi Ling stood up and said to Zhan Chengxi.
"Uh... I'll just take a taxi back by myself. ”
"Take a taxi, I'm not at ease."
After replying to that, Zhan Chengxi stepped forward before Zi Ling, lifted her suitcase, and then turned around and walked out. Zi Ling was a little slow to react because she had just woken up, and by the time she reacted, Zhan Chengxi had already disappeared. Helpless, she had no choice but to chase him out.
It's not the first time I've taken Zhan Chengxi's car, but this time Zi Ling feels very uncomfortable. It's not because of what Zhan Chengxi did, but Zi Ling's own psychological effect.
I don't know why, it seems that after these three days and two nights of Taiwan trip, she unconsciously wants to keep a distance from Zhan Chengxi. Zi Ling didn't know if she was thinking too much, she always felt that Zhan Chengxi cared too much about herself. And this feeling made her feel hairy and uncomfortable.
It had been a while since the car drove out of the company's underground parking lot, but the two people in the car had not spoken. Zhan Chengxi saw that Zi Ling closed his eyes as soon as he got in the car, and he didn't say anything, just drove silently. Finally, when he arrived at the entrance of the highway, Zhan Chengxi had to speak because he didn't know where Lu Dao Ziling's home was.
"Your address?"
"Uh... Go to Luqiu Garden. ”
Hearing Zhan Chengxi ask her address, Zi Ling was stunned for a while before she said the name of the area of the apartment that her brother bought her. In fact, she subconsciously thought of "Zixuan Pavilion", and almost blurted it out, but fortunately she realized that she couldn't say this, so she changed her words in time.
She would choose to go back to the apartment that her brother bought for her instead of the villa of the Yan family, because she still had a notice in the next two days, and Lu Qiuyuan was in the city, which was relatively close to the company.
"Oh."
After hearing what Zi Ling said, Zhan Chengxi just answered and didn't speak again. And this reaction of his also made Zi Ling aware of his displeasure. But she didn't say anything.
Zhan Chengxi will be displeased, naturally because Zi Ling not only began to avoid him, but also was extremely cold to him. Is he acting too obviously? Otherwise, why did he feel that the purple spirit seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him?
Sighing secretly in his heart, not thinking about it, Zhan Seung-hee focused on driving. Although he is not sure of the exact location of "Luqiu Garden", he knows that the road is in the area of Singapore's high-end private residential area.
Because she pays attention to the news all the time, especially her own company, Zhan Chengxi knows that this apartment was bought by Yan Xinuo for Zi Ling, so she doesn't have any doubts about going back there.
Soon after, a white Porsche stopped under the apartment building "Luqiu Garden". After helping Zi Ling take out the luggage from the back compartment, Zhan Chengxi did not hand it over to her immediately, but said lightly.
"I'll help you carry your luggage."
"That..."
Zi Ling wanted to say the words of refusal, but she didn't expect Zhan Chengxi to carry her luggage and walk inside. She looked at his back with black lines, and had no choice but to follow.
Seeing a strange man come in and walk directly in the direction of the elevator, the guards originally wanted to stop it, but when they saw that Zi Ling was behind them, they stopped. It's a very private apartment, and if it's not a guest here, or a guest of a guest here, the guards won't allow people to go upstairs at will.
And this one who just moved in, although they are not familiar with her, know that she is a public figure. Therefore, she will pay more attention to her visitors, in case the media or fans are mixed in and harassed.
"Xie Lu, thank you for sending me back."
At the moment when the elevator door closed, although Zi Ling did not go to talk to Zhan Chengxi face-to-face, he still said to Zhan Chengxi's shadow reflected on the smooth inner wall of the elevator. The voice was very quiet, but the space of the elevator was very small, and Zhan Chengxi heard it, but he didn't respond, just responded with a gesture.
"I'm home."
Coming to the top floor, Zi Ling, who was walking in front, came to a door, and then stopped. After Zhan Chengxi heard her say that, he turned his head and looked around before putting down his suitcase.
In fact, Zhan Chengxi will follow not only to carry Ziling's luggage, but also because he is not worried about her. That's why he was cheeky and followed her uninvited all the way to her door. Now that she has been safely delivered to the door, he can naturally leave with peace of mind.
"Well, then I'll go back first."
"Wait!"
After speaking, he turned around and prepared to walk in the direction of the elevator. It's just that after only a few steps, he was stopped by the purple spirit behind him. Hearing Zi Ling's voice, Zhan Chengxi instantly felt that his back froze. He stopped, but he didn't turn around or look back.
