Chapter 55: Who Doesn't Know That Loli Is Good?

  The Chinese lanterns have just been lit.

  Chunxi Road was quiet, with only a few pedestrians hurrying by. A young couple walked hand in hand, leaning on each other's shoulders, strolling along the road. The streetlights were arranged in two rows, brighter than usual, without the dim yellowish hue. A black sedan with license plate Jiang C00001 appeared silently at the end of the road, passing by the young couple and slowly entering the 17th courtyard. The two large iron gates closed behind it, separating the inside from the outside into two worlds.

  "Look, it's the city committee secretary's number one car." The boy points it out to the girl.

  "How mysterious! I really want to go in and see what's inside?"

  "It doesn't matter, when I become a high-ranking official in the future, wherever you want to go, I'll take you there!"

  "Alright then..."

  This was not Zuo Yu Xi's first time here. As the daughter of former municipal party secretary Zuo Jing, she knew this place even better than Xu Fu Yan did. Upon entering the hall, the completely different layout told her once again that this was no longer the home she used to know, and the person who had taken over this place, overlooking Qingzhou, was Xu Fu Yan!

  Wen Ze's sensitive and keen perception picked up on Yu Xi's subtle emotional fluctuations, so revisiting this place was inevitably going to bring some feelings. As they stepped across the threshold, he lightly touched her shoulder, and they exchanged a glance, both smiling faintly.

  Xu Yaoguang sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, wearing a pink cotton nightgown, intently watching TV. Her small fists occasionally waved in the air as she shouted "Cut him off, cut him off". She was so focused that she didn't notice Wen Ze and others standing by the door. The nanny who opened the door was about to call her when Wen Ze raised his finger to signal her to be quiet and walked over quietly. Wen Huiming pretended not to see anything and said in a low voice, "Zhang Ma, you can rest now, there's nothing going on tonight."

  When the nanny left, Wen Huiming carefully chose his words and said: "Director Zuo, please sit here for a moment. Secretary Xu is reviewing documents in the study room. I'll go take a look first."

  This was not the first time Wen Huaiming had interacted with Zuo Yuxi, but speaking at such a close distance was absolutely a first. What position did Zuo Yuxi hold in Qingzhou before? Although Wen Huaiming was in the municipal party committee, he basically couldn't get along with Zuo Jing, and when he occasionally went to the education system for research, Deputy Director Zuo rarely accompanied him at the wine table. The few times she did left a deep impression on Wen Huaiming: calm, proud, self-satisfied, elegant in demeanor, and captivating in temperament. Almost all the words of praise applied to her were not excessive.

  For someone like that, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, but Xu Fuyan also had his own pride and wouldn't specially wait for Zuo Yuxi to come to him. As a subordinate, Wen Huaiming could only try not to make Zuo Yuxi feel belittled, who knew if this young lady would get angry and turn around to leave?

  Wen He and Zuo Yu Xi, how did they get to know each other, what was their relationship, and why would she trust a young boy, these three questions Wen Huai Ming tried his best but couldn't ask any of them, for this son, Old Wen had no way.

  Zuo Yuxi smiled and nodded, after all, he was younger, and Xu Fuyan had already given him enough face by sending a car to pick him up. At this time, it was natural to take control of the situation, which was human nature. Wen Huiming had only been here a few times, and usually, these kinds of tasks were handled by his secretary Zhang, but tonight's matter was really important, so even Zhang couldn't participate. He walked to the study outside the hall on the inner side, lightly knocked on the door, and pushed it open.

  Xu Yao was watching with great interest, when the TV was suddenly blocked by a figure, instantly furious, her eyes widened and she jumped up ready to scold. When she saw the person's face clearly, her small mouth opened slightly, her eyes were dull, pointing at Wen Qian, unable to say a word, not even noticing a thread of saliva dripping from the corner of her mouth.

  "Hmm, quite an eye-opener! Xǔ Yáo classmate, I really didn't expect you to have such a homebody side to you, haha. Whether it was the white-clothed girl from when we first met or her usual refreshing and elegant self, Xǔ Yáo gave everyone the impression of being a high-and-mighty princess, rarely making people think she also had a next-door-little-sister side."

  Xu Yao only then discovered that she was barefoot, her hair disheveled, and her pink pajamas were wrinkled from sitting cross-legged earlier. She didn't even bother to ask Wen Qing why he was there, but instead pointed behind him: "Ah, a panda!" Then she turned around and ran off, not even wearing slippers as she jumped up the stairs to the second floor.

  Staring blankly with a mixture of shock and confusion, unable to comprehend the situation. Everyone is so familiar with each other, what's with the overreaction? The uncle didn't think that his previous words, combined with his lewd smile, would be enough to scare off any girl.

  Zuo Yu Xi, who had been standing at the door, couldn't help but laugh and walked over to sit on the sofa, holding her stomach. It took a while for her to calm down, but looking at Wen Chen's innocent face made her want to laugh again. She scolded him in a spoiled tone: "Stop being silly, what will Secretary Xu think if he sees you like this?"

  Being in this place, Zuo Yu Xi didn't dare to call Xu Fu Yan by his name directly, fortunately the nanny had just left, otherwise she would have thought something was wrong.

  Wen Qian smiled wryly and shook his head, sitting down on the other side of the sofa. He saw a pair of adorable pink slippers placed next to the marble coffee table, with two small pandas printed on them. Suddenly remembering the phrase he had shouted earlier when deceiving himself, Wen Qian was enlightened - this girl was a panda fanatic.

  "Is this how you usually interact with each other?" For some reason, Zuo Yu Xi seemed more interested in Xu Yao than Xu Fu Yan. Wen Ze's eyes rolled, and he changed the subject: "Don't be nervous later, just talk openly with Secretary Xu. There are many things I don't even discuss with Father, so you can say whatever you want - even if it's impolite, he won't be able to do anything about it. After all, given our current situation, we're here to help..."

  Zuo Yuxi was about to speak when Wen Huiming walked over, saying in a low voice: "Secretary Xu is asking for you, come this way." After that, he gave Wen Chan a look, telling him to calm down.

  With a gentle nod of understanding, seeing Zuo Yu Xi staring at him, he smiled and said: "Go!"

  Zuo Yu Xi finally got up and walked away first. Wen Huai Ming was startled by this, frowning and taking a glance at Wen Chen, thinking to himself that no matter what, he had to find out about their relationship when he got home tonight, how Zuo Yu Xi seemed so obedient to Wen Chen's words, it was too strange!

  After they went in, Wen Ze closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa, motionless.

  Xu Yao ran into the bedroom and directly jumped onto the bed, pulling over the quilt to cover her head. Her small fists kept pounding: "I was ridiculed, I was ridiculed, it's too embarrassing, 555, it's too embarrassing..."

  After venting for a while, Xu Yao suddenly remembered how Wen Ze ended up at her house. Last time her dad asked about him, he seemed to have a bad impression, so what's going on this time?

  She hugged the quilt and thought for a moment, feeling that it was better to go out and take a look. After washing up, she found the most beautiful white cotton dress from her closet. This was still bought specially when attending her brother's wedding in Guanshan last time, today must let the stinky boy open his eyes!

  It seemed as if she had sensed something, and Wen Jie slowly opened her eyes to look up. At the top of the stairs on the second floor, a white-clad girl appeared, her slender fingers grasping the railing as she descended slowly, her soft long hair flowing behind her, her sparkling eyes clear as water, her pure and unblemished skin reflecting a captivating glow under the light, her elegant and refined figure, her slender waist, all seemed to demonstrate the creator's greatest favoritism.

  Wen Qian stood up, smiled and slightly bowed: "Welcome Her Majesty the Queen!"

  Xu Yao's face wore the same faint disdain as when they first met, her head held high in arrogance: "Don't you dare stand upright, you stinky little brat!"
