Chapter 320: Extra. Xie Jingzhou 2

Extra. Xie Jingzhou 2

Their reunion was at the end of last year.

The Cheng family's company ran into trouble, closed its overseas branch, and gradually shifted its focus back to the domestic Deep City.

To ease her parents' burden, she gave up her dream of becoming a painter and devoted herself to helping them manage the company.

I don't know if it was because the Cheng family's luck had run out, but a major fire in the warehouse added insult to injury for the already struggling Cheng family, pushing them to the brink of total bankruptcy.

Cheng Cheng was under great pressure; over the past two months, she has been working nonstop to recover the losses.

Fortunately, heaven rewards the diligent; thanks to her and her parents' joint efforts, the family company was finally saved.

The weight on her shoulders had lightened a bit, so she rewarded herself with some relaxation.

So she made plans with friends to go to KTV, hoping to shout out her emotions through singing and have a wonderful day tomorrow.

Little did she know, she hadn't sung many songs before downing three or four bottles of alcohol.

Her alcohol tolerance was decent, but three or four bottles left her feeling a bit dizzy.

Feeling stuffy in the private room, she prepared to step out for a while to get some fresh air and sober up.

But she didn't expect that, as soon as she opened the private room door, the door opposite also opened at the same time.

Cheng Cheng felt a moment of astonishment, her heartbeat pausing for an instant.

Because the man who walked out from opposite was none other than Xie Jingzhou.

How could he be in Deep City?

However, Xie Jingzhou also stopped in his tracks the moment he saw Cheng Cheng.

For a full two minutes, they stood there facing each other in silence.

Finally, Cheng Cheng felt so dizzy she staggered a step, and Xie Jingzhou stepped toward her, breaking the eerie atmosphere.

Cheng Cheng steadied herself against the wall in time, shaking her head to try to clear her mind.

She lifted her smile and openly greeted Xie Jingzhou: "Long time no see, Xie Jingzhou."

In the somewhat dim hallway, the faint singing was noisy.

But upon hearing Cheng Cheng's voice again, Xie Jingzhou felt a moment of peace.

Xie Jingzhou lightly pressed his thin lips and replied: "Long time no see, Cheng Cheng."

Sometimes, opening an orifice is quite miraculous, just like being aware; at a specific time or event, that orifice naturally opens.

Take Xie Jingzhou, for example: at the moment of their reunion, when Cheng Cheng uttered "long time no see," he only then realized that, over the years she had been away, he had occasionally thought of her because of his own fondness.

So that's what liking is.

Just like now, as he looks at her face, only four words fill his heart: regained after loss.

Seeing him silent, Cheng Cheng raised her eyebrows prettily, thinking he was again lost in some academic problem, so she didn't disturb him and turned back to the private room.

After chatting with friends for a while, the time was about up, so everyone said goodbye and left.

Walking out of the KTV, she didn't expect to see Xie Jingzhou again at the entrance.

Their eyes met.

Cheng Cheng also felt helpless; what kind of fateful entanglement is this between them?

If he hadn't seen her, it would have been fine—she could have pretended not to notice and left—but now he's looking right at her!

She tightened her grip on her bag, thinking that after saying hello they probably wouldn't meet again, so she hurried to finish the pleasantries and leave.

Cheng Cheng stepped toward him, about to greet him out of habit, but this time Xie Jingzhou spoke first.

He said: "Cheng Cheng, I just called the lab over there."

"???" Cheng Cheng was a bit confused, not understanding what he meant by that.

Xie Jingzhou then said: "Breakup flashlight talk, I just broke up with Liya (the robot)."

Cheng Cheng was even more confused: Is Liya his girlfriend?

If he broke up with her, what is he saying to me?

But one cannot deny that the power of a 'white moonlight' lies in the fact that, even after all these years, hearing those few words that he had broken up with someone else still makes her heart feel as if pricked by a needle.

She thought, "So he's finally opened his orifice."

Except the person who caused him to open his orifice wasn't her.

Cheng Cheng gave a wry smile; after all, he had once been her white moonlight too, so she decided to offer some comfort.

She said with a smile: "Um... don't be too heartbroken; if you truly like her and can't bear to let go, then go talk to her properly, try to reconcile, or at worst chase her again—getting her back wouldn't be so bad."

Xie Jingzhou looked at the familiar her in his memory, suddenly chuckled, "Hmm, I know what to do now."

Cheng Cheng paused, then gave an embarrassed laugh: "Hehe, hehe, then I wish you and her an early reunion and a lifetime together."

Xie Jingzhou continued to look at her, the corners of his mouth holding a smile: "Hmm, good."

Cheng Cheng felt a bit bewildered by his gaze, quickly glanced away, not daring to meet his eyes: "Um, it's late, I'm leaving now, goodbye."

Xie Jingzhou nodded, but didn't say goodbye.

He really dislikes that word, especially saying those two characters to her.

Before he didn't understand, so it was fine, but now that he knows his own feelings, that one 'goodbye' is enough.

Originally, Xie Jingzhou's branch office hadn't been decided—whether to locate it in Pearl City or Deep City—and this trip was also partly for scouting.

But now he hesitates no longer; he directly called his assistant, told him to relay the decision, and set the branch office project in Deep City.

Moreover, during this period he needs to personally oversee the establishment of the branch in Deep City.

That night after returning, he didn't sleep at all, directly formulating a plan to win back his wife, and since he lacked experience, he also looked up lots of information online.

Then the next day he began to put it into practice.

On the first day, he directly confessed to Cheng Cheng, saying he liked her, which directly scared her away.

On the second day, he sent flowers to Cheng Cheng's company, then after work came to the company to pick her up and invited her to a meal.

On the third day, Xie Jingzhou told Cheng Cheng that from then on he would confess to her every day, and once she liked him again, she would agree to be his girlfriend.

The fourth day......

Day after day, the confession routine never stopped.

A few days ago, Cheng Cheng finally agreed to him.

Afraid she would run away again, Xie Jingzhou, like a naive youth, proposed on the spot.

Cheng Cheng also didn't want to miss him again, so they got their marriage license.

"The situation is roughly like this; I've finished explaining everything. I've come back to ask my sister-in-law to pick a date for me, and I also want to go to my father-in-law's place to present the betrothal gifts." Xie Jingzhou sat calmly on the sofa, honestly recounting everything between himself and Cheng Cheng.

The Xie Family were all stunned.

Having reacted, Xu Airu grabbed whatever she could find and was about to hit Xie Jingzhou.

"You've just snatched away someone's young lady without even paying a formal visit or seeking her parents' consent—this is disrespectful to the Cheng Family and irresponsible toward that young lady!"

Xie Jingzhou quickly raised his hands, saying, "Ah, ah, don't hit, don't hit, Mom, don't worry—I've already gone to the Cheng Family to apologize and beg for forgiveness, and I've obtained the pardon of my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Upon hearing that, Xu Airu stopped searching for something to hit him with, but she was still angry and kicked Xie Jingzhou.

He really is the type who stays silent until he makes a stunning debut.
