Zhai Cheng had naturally noticed Song Ge's behavior long ago. Seeing that she didn't seem to have the intention to ask, he took the initiative to say, "If you have anything you want to ask, just go ahead."
For Song Ge, as long as she asked, he was willing to tell her anything. He was just afraid that she didn't want to know anything at all.
Hearing this, Song Ge put down the fork in her hand. Just as she was about to ask, Zhai Cheng's phone rang.
Zhai Cheng glanced at it. It was an unknown number. Without thinking, he hung up directly. But the next second, the phone rang again. He frowned slightly.
"Answer it," Song Ge advised.
Zhai Cheng swiped the screen to answer the call. "Who is it?"
"Zhai Cheng, how could you be so despicable?"
Zhai Cheng raised his eyebrows. The voice sounded a bit familiar. "Xu Qin?"
Song Ge, who was eating, was suddenly stunned. Thinking of the shares Zhai Cheng had acquired today, she guessed that Xu Qin must have called to vent his anger.
"It's me," the other person paused. "Zhai Cheng, don't think that just because you've got the shares, I'll let it go easily. I'll surely make you lose your reputation."
Zhai Cheng raised his eyebrows. "Oh? I'll be looking forward to it." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Song Ge lowered her head and continued eating without saying a word.
Seeing that she didn't ask, Zhai Cheng didn't say anything either.
After they finished eating, they left the restaurant.
It was already evening, and there were more young people on the street.
"Let's go. It's time to go home."
Song Ge stopped in her tracks. She looked at a group of young people walking with their friends with a touch of envy. When did it seem that she was no longer the person she used to be? She had too many things to worry about and too many troubles.
Zhai Cheng followed her gaze and seemed to be lost in thought.
Song Ge sighed. "Let's go."
Without saying a word, Zhai Cheng naturally took Song Ge's hand and walked into the crowd.
Absent - minded Song Ge didn't notice where they were going. She thought they were going to the underground parking lot to drive home.
It was only when she came to her senses that she felt the hustle and bustle around her.
It was a snack street, crowded with people.
Song Ge looked at Zhai Cheng in surprise and gratitude. "This..."
"Let's go. What do you want to eat?" Zhai Cheng pulled her into the crowd.
The aroma of various snacks wafted everywhere, making people drool.
Song Ge looked at the snacks and her appetite was whetted. Her mood seemed to improve. She pointed at the oden and said excitedly, "I want to eat this."
When she turned around, she saw Zhai Cheng staring at her blankly. Song Ge felt a bit embarrassed.
They found a seat and sat down, waiting for their food.
It had been a long time since Zhai Cheng had seen Song Ge so happy.
Although they had eaten before, Song Ge still ate a lot of snacks until her stomach was round and full, and then she stopped.
Zhai Cheng looked at her satisfied expression and felt really happy.
After that, they didn't drive home but walked instead.
The shadows of Song Ge and Zhai Cheng were stretched very long. However, Song Ge was wearing high - heels today. After walking for a long time, her heels started to hurt. She stopped and rubbed her feet.
The next second, her body lifted into the air.
She instinctively wrapped her arms around Zhai Cheng's neck.
Her heart beat faster, and her face turned red.
"I can walk by myself."
"I want to carry you."
After walking for about half an hour, Song Ge could feel that Zhai Cheng was running out of strength. After all, it was a princess - carry, which couldn't last long.
"Put me down."
Zhai Cheng did put Song Ge down, but then he squatted in front of her. "Get on."
"No, I can walk by myself."
"I don't want to say it a second time," Zhai Cheng said firmly.
Song Ge had no choice but to lie on Zhai Cheng's back and wrap her arms around his neck.
Zhai Cheng strode forward. Song Ge could smell the nice scent on him and gradually laid her head on his shoulder.
Feeling the weight on his shoulder, Zhai Cheng's mouth curved into a slight smile, and he slowed down.
The gentle sound of Song Ge's breathing came to his ears.
Zhai Cheng moved his feet and felt the soreness in his legs. But it was still a long way to go if they went back to get the car now.
Gritting his teeth, Zhai Cheng carried Song Ge on and on.
Just when Zhai Cheng thought his legs were about to give out, they were finally almost there.
Before they got closer, Zhai Cheng saw a car parked in front of the villa. He recognized it at a glance as Leng Jing's car. Then he subconsciously glanced at Song Ge on his back.
Leng Jing had already seen Zhai Cheng and immediately walked over. "Uncle."
"Shh," Zhai Cheng motioned for her to be quiet.
Only then did Leng Jing notice Song Ge on Zhai Cheng's back. She was furious. What was so good about this woman!
Song Ge was still woken up. She rubbed her eyes, looking sleepy. After reacting for a while, she said, "Put me down, please." She felt really embarrassed.
Zhai Cheng put Song Ge down and rubbed his shoulders. Song Ge noticed this action and felt even more guilty.
"Do you want me to rub your shoulders for you?"
"Sure," Zhai Cheng said as he walked towards the villa. Song Ge followed him as if Leng Jing wasn't there at all.
Ignored, Leng Jing called out to them. "I still have something to say."
The two of them ignored Leng Jing and went straight into the villa.
Leng Jing angrily followed them in.
Seeing them come back, Aunt Chen asked, "Young master, do you want me to prepare some food?"
"No, we've already eaten," Zhai Cheng said as he sat down on the sofa. Song Ge stood behind him and massaged his shoulders.
Aunt Chen left tactfully.
Leng Jing came in and sat down on the sofa rudely. She questioned, "Uncle, why did you take control of my shares?"
She didn't know about this at first. It was Ji Qingzhen who told her.
Zhai Cheng closed his eyes and enjoyed the massage.
Seeing that Zhai Cheng didn't answer, Leng Jing got even angrier. "Uncle, say something!"
Suddenly, Zhai Cheng opened his eyes. His hawk - like eyes stared at Leng Jing. "Who told you?"
He knew that Leng Jing was always carefree. If no one had gossiped about it, she wouldn't have known this kind of thing.
Leng Jing suddenly felt a bit guilty. "I... Can't I know about my own shares? Besides, the lawyer will surely inform me of such things."
Zhai Cheng closed his eyes again and snorted. "I'm asking you. Do you really want to marry Ji Qingzhen?"
At first, he didn't think highly of Ji Qingzhen. It was just that he never had the chance to say anything.
Leng Jing frowned. "Why do you ask? I like him, and he likes me. Naturally, we're going to get married. Besides, the wedding invitations have already been sent out."
Leng Jing had her own attitude on this matter. No matter what, she was going to marry Ji Qingzhen.
Song Ge, who was listening beside them, was confused. She didn't understand why Zhai Cheng's attitude towards Ji Qingzhen had changed. When they were together before, he didn't seem to object. Why all of a sudden...
"You don't really understand this guy. Call off the wedding."
