Chapter 56 - Meeting Xia Qin`er Again

After Jin Xuan left, Liang Jia turned to look at Zhou Xing Chen. Zhou Xing Chen motioned for her to follow him as she was brought into the office.

At this moment, Zhou Xing Chen's expression softened. He closed the door and hugged Liang Jia tightly, not letting go for a long time.

Liang Jia was a little uncomfortable from his hug. She slightly struggled.

Zhou Xing Chen released her, looking into her eyes. Helplessly, he asked, "Why … why are there so many people eyeing you?"

Liang Jia also helplessly smiled. "But I only love you." She lightly tiptoed to her feet and gave Zhou Xing Chen a light kiss on his handsome face.

Zhou Xing Chen was a little mesmerized by her actions. Looking at Liang Jia's flushed face, he once again wrapped his arms around her, treating her like a precious treasure.

Bang bang bang …

A sudden knock on the door interrupted the two who were embracing each other and they quickly separated.

Zhou Xing Chen said solemnly, "Come in."

He saw that Liang Jia was also there. In addition, her cheeks were flushed red and her eyes were hazy, and she instantly understood that she had come at the wrong time. She stammered out the meeting time, then left as if she was fleeing.

Liang Jia looked at his flustered figure as she left and found it funny. She cast a glance at the person beside her who was tying his tie. "Look, your subordinates are all so afraid of you. Shouldn't they change their personalities?"

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Xing Chen shrugged, his right hand covering Liang Jia's face. "I have a meeting to attend later. You can go back first."

Liang Jia nodded gently.

"Go straight home."

"Alright."

"You're not allowed to speak freely, you're not allowed to look at him and ignore him."

Liang Jia found this rather funny. She felt that the current Zhou Xing Chen was no longer just the President of the Board of Commerce, but a little kid who was acting like a spoiled child.

"Alright," Liang Jia repeated his words, "I'll go straight home. If you don't see him, you can just ignore him."

"Mm." Zhou Xing Chen nodded in satisfaction. "I'll get someone to send you off."

"No need, no need," Liang Jia waved her hand. "I want to walk by myself."

Zhou Xing Chen pondered for a moment, then agreed. He only reminded her not to wander around too late.

Leaving the company, Liang Jia walked briskly along the tarmac. The wind blew, and the leaves on both sides of the road rustled. She realized that she hadn't been this relaxed in a long time.

In addition to love, there was also a hint of gratitude towards Zhou Xing Chen. It could be said that he had saved her life, and made her lose her life as a puppet in a mask.

Suddenly, the wind grew slightly stronger and lifted Liang Jia's loose hair. She raised her hand and elegantly swept it behind her ear. A petite figure appeared at the end of the road. Following the steady tapping of her high heels, the figure slowly approached her.

"Long time no see, Liang Jia."

Liang Jia also returned a dignified and elegant smile. The warm sun shone through the treetops onto the corner of Liang Jia's mouth, adding color to this smile. Her originally beautiful face became even more dazzling and captivating. She spoke slowly. "Long time no see, Miss Xia."

Xia Qin'er looked at Liang Jia's beautiful face. Now that she was Zhou Xing Chen's wife, she seemed even more beautiful than before, and there was even a new emotion on her face – happiness.

The jealousy in Xia Qin'er's heart grew like wild grass, and she clenched her fingers tightly until her nails dug into her palms.

Seeing her tremble slightly, Liang Jia knew that she was probably extremely angry at him, so he didn't say anything. He circled around her and wanted to leave.

"Liang Jia." Unexpectedly, Xia Qin'er took the initiative to speak. Liang Jia stopped in her tracks and leaned to the side, trying to hear what she had to say.

"I will not give up on Zhou Xing Chen." Xia Qin'er spoke, her tone filled with determination.

Liang Jia's brow furrowed slightly, and a flame of anger rose in her heart. She lifted her chin and said scornfully, "Xia Qin'er, what qualifications do you have to say something like that? There are many ways to achieve your goal, and getting close to Xing Chen is the most unwise way."

Xia Qin'er was surprised for a moment. How could Liang Jia have known that her goal of getting close to Zhou Weiqing was not simple? However, it was just a split-second, and that it was already no longer important, wasn't it?

She bit her lip, her eyes determined. "I love him."

Liang Jia frowned at her.

"I admit that I initially wanted to use him," Xia Qin'er said with a self-deprecating smile. "But, I really did fall in love with him."

Liang Jia's heart thumped. She didn't know what Xia Qin'er would do next.

Xia Qin'er tilted her head and smiled brightly at Liang Jia. "I will definitely enter the Zhou Family and use any means I can."

"Slash …"

A sportscar stopped in front of them. Zhou Xing Chen sat in the driver's seat, a cold and handsome look on his face. His gaze swept past Xia Qin'er to Liang Jia. "Get in. Let's go home."

Liang Jia directly opened the car door and sat on it.

From start to finish, she had never looked at Xia Qin'er.

"Didn't I tell you to go straight home?"

Liang Jia said, "I met him on the way."

Zhou Xing Chen frowned. "Don't bother with her from now on. I'll handle this."

"Yes." Liang Jia nodded.

"That's right." Zhou Xing Chen's tone suddenly became a little more brisk, "The company has won a large order, Jin Xuan that little brat insisted on wanting to taste your craftsmanship."

Liang Jia smiled. "Alright, call him over tomorrow. I'll cook a big meal for him."

Zhou Xing Chen's lips curled into a smile. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Liang Jia's gentle face. He unconsciously lifted his hand to hold hers, but Liang Jia held his instead.

A phrase suddenly popped into Zhou Xing Chen's mind: With a wife like this, what else could I need?

The next evening, Zhou Xing Chen brought Jin Xuan home early.

Upon entering, Jin Xuan sniffed exaggeratedly, saying, "Wow, it smells so good."

Liang Jia had already been busy in the kitchen for a while now. The dishes were basically finished, and there was indeed a faintly discernible fragrance of rice in the living room.

Liang Jia and a servant came out with an exquisite plate, setting up the dishes in one go. Jin Xuan was dumbstruck as he praised, "Liang Jia, not bad!"

Liang Jia raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Thank you for your praise."

Jin Xuan looked carefully at the dozen or so dishes arranged on the table, each of them had a different color, but they were matched perfectly, with exquisite shapes, some of them even had never been seen before.

He nudged Zhou Xing Chen's shoulder, but his gaze never left the dish. "Zhou Xing Chen, no wonder you rarely come out to meet your brothers after your marriage. If it were me, I would rather eat Liang Jia's food at home."

Zhou Xing Chen rolled his eyes at him. "Don't talk so much. Take a seat." As she spoke, she silently went around to Liang Jia's side and pulled out a chair for her, then came back and sat down.

Jin Xuan looked at them with a face full of disgust, as he made a "tsk tsk" sound.

At this moment, the doorbell rang. The three of them looked at each other, not knowing who else would come to visit at this time.

Jin Xuan glided over in a good mood and even said: "You guys sit down! I'll open the door! "

Opening the door, Zhou Xing Chen and Liang Jia both saw Jin Xuan's figure pause for a split-second, and then they heard his surprised voice, "Why are you here?"

Liang Jia and Zhou Xing Chen didn't understand what was going on. They both looked towards the door until they heard the clear and gentle voice, "Why can't I come?"

Zhou Xing Chen's face darkened.

Liang Jia's heart was also full of unease. Why did he come?
