"Huh?" Grandma sighed in disappointment. "Then when will you be back?"

Zhong Luozhan couldn't give her a specific time, so he said, "Grandma, I have a customer who is calling. I'll come back to see you after I get busy with this."

"..." Sigh, fine. You must come back early. " Grandma reminded him repeatedly before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

Zhong Luozhan's eyebrows finally relaxed a bit. He leaned back in the big boss's chair, threw his phone on the table, and looked at the ceiling as he sighed.

If Xia Xiaomin had refused to be a maid, he wouldn't have thought she loved money so much!

In his heart, however, there was still some disbelief.

Xia Xiaomin, what kind of woman are you?

Zhong Luozheng sat there blankly for a while. He stood up and left the study. As he walked up the stairs, he heard Xia Xiaomin humming.

"Lala …" "Lalalalalalala …"

Such an unpleasant song, only Xia Xiaomin could sing it!

Zhong Luozheng frowned as he thought about this.

Seeing him go downstairs, Xia Xiaomin immediately kept quiet. She placed the last dish on the table and said with a smile, "Boss Zhong, you can eat now."

Zhong Luozhan pulled out a chair and sat down.

Looking at the dishes on the table, he did not expect her to take what she just said seriously. She had never cooked anything red or stir-fried vegetables in the past few days.

With an extra bowl of rice in front of him, Zhong Luozhuang didn't want to make things difficult for them anymore. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

"Is it delicious?" Xia Xiaomin couldn't help asking.

It was already a huge gift to her that he was willing to use chopsticks, but she still wanted more, such as his praise.

Zhong Luozhan didn't miss the anticipation in her eyes, but he deliberately wore a straight face as he said, "It's so bad. With your level, guests have to complain every day."

Xia Xiaomin's self-esteem was injured, and she couldn't help but think of the gentle Chen Hao. At least, if it was Brother Hao, no matter how bad the cooking was, he would still say it was delicious and eat them all.

When she thought of Chen Hao, she once again thought of that night in the bar. Right, where did Brother Hao go at that time?

"What are you thinking about?" Zhong Luozhan raised his head and noticed Xia Xiaomin's absent-mindedness. He looked at her with a displeased expression on his face.

Xia Xiaomin wasn't stupid, she could tell that Zhong Luozheng's mood had undergone a tremendous change. She could only confess honestly, "I was thinking about that day at the bar."

"What's there to think about?" Zhong Luozhuang put down his chopsticks and examined her.

Xia Xiaomin thought for a moment, then asked, "Director Zhong, did you see Brother Hao at the bar that day?"

Zhong Luozhan frowned, his face ashen. Were they still thinking about that Chen Hao when they were together? How reckless.

"How could I have seen him!" Zhong Luozheng roared in annoyance, then poured all the food into the trash can.

Xia Xiaomin was stunned. What did he do to her?

A good meal, as well as her painstaking efforts, had all been wasted!

"I haven't eaten yet," Xia Xiaomin said innocently as she bit her lips.

"It's not good to eat!" Zhong Luozhan shot Xia Xiaomin a cold glance, lifted her chin and warned, "Xia Xiaomin, listen carefully. You are not allowed to mention the name of a third person in my villa."

Third person's name...

Xia Xiaomin seemed to understand something, and was about to explain when Zhong Luozheng said, "Accompany me to a place this weekend."

"Where to?" Xia Xiaomin asked hesitantly. If possible, she wanted to ask if she could not go.

Zhong Luozhan hated it when she had a troubled expression on her face. It was as if he only bullied her all day long. He shook off her chin and walked up the stairs. His voice was neither soft nor heavy. "Where I can sell you."

Xia Xiaomin gritted her teeth in anger, but she still had to endure.

"..."

The weekend was approaching fast, and Xia Xiaomin was taken away by Yun Xiang before she even got off work.

Along the way, Xia Xiaomin didn't have the leisure to look out the window at the passing scenery.

She wanted to ask Yun Xiang where he was going, but after coming down a few times, she decided not to.

"Miss Xia, please get off." Unknowingly, they had reached their destination, and Yun Xiang opened the car door for her.

Xia Xiaomin got out of the car and saw a tall building in front of her. She was puzzled, but then she saw the young lady guarding the door welcome her. "Is this Miss Xia?" Please come with me. "

She glanced at Yun Xiang and saw he was still standing by the car expressionlessly. Xia Xiaomin turned around and followed the little miss into the building.

An hour later, Xia Xiaomin looked at herself in the mirror, lost in thought.

Was this really her?

Her slightly curly long hair fell down over her shoulders, making her white face seem small and exquisite.

The dark purple dress with slanted shoulders accentuated her graceful figure even more. The round, exposed back design allowed her white jade creamy skin to be completely exposed. The skirt that reached up to her knees perfectly showed her beautiful long legs.

A dark red manyflower bloomed on her left shoulder, and the tiny bits of diamond dotted her chest and the folds of her skirt caught the light.

Her black eyes quietly stared at herself in the mirror. Xia Xiaomin revealed a faint smile, her gaze gentle and profound like the ocean.

"Pah!"

With a snap of a finger, a row of staff members wearing black formal attire walked in with jewelry boxes in hand.

Behind her, a person suddenly stood there, staring at her with a pair of dark, fierce eyes.

Xia Xiaomin looked back and saw Zhong Luozheng slowly walking in from the door. He stopped in front of the display cases.

Zhong Luozhuang examined the necklaces in the jewelry box one by one. Finally, he picked out a round and delicate pink pearl and came to Xia Xiaomin's back to help her wear it.

The skin on her neck was as fine as cream, and the scent of her hair filled Zhong Luozhan's nose. Zhong Luozheng was intoxicated for a moment as he reached out and gently embraced her. He took a deep breath, and then finally recovered his calm breathing.

"You look beautiful today." Zhong Luozhuang praised him sincerely.

While Xia Xiaomin was still immersed in Zhong Luozheng's praise, she heard Zhong Luozheng whisper in her ear, "Don't wear those burlap bags anymore."

Xia Xiaomin angrily swung her little fist at Zhong Luozheng, but he caught it in his palm. "Let's go!"

"Can I say no?" Xia Xiaomin was furious, but was only happy when she insisted on disagreeing with him.

Zhong Luozhan gave her a faint smile. "You can give it a try."

Both of them got on the bus. On the way, Xia Xiaomin looked out the window at the darkening sky with a gentle smile on her face. Zhong Luozhang gazed at her smiling face, the corner of his mouth curving up into a beautiful smile.

At the destination, Xia Xiaomin got off the car with Zhong Luozheng.

The cold night wind blew against their faces as a luxurious yacht docked by the shore.

The yacht was brightly lit. Many well-dressed young ladies stood on the deck of the yacht, holding the arms of their male companions.

When they saw Zhong Luozheng's sudden outburst of enthusiasm, Xia Xiaomin couldn't help but feel disgusted.

A waiter came out to greet them.

"My boss has been waiting for a long time. Director Zhong, please come in."

Zhong Luozheng did not reply, ignoring the other famous women as he walked onto the yacht.

From beginning to end, Xia Xiaomin had held Zhong Luoshang's arm.

Once inside, a group of bunny girls were dancing in the hot air, and the moving music was deafening.

Xia Xiaomin frowned, a look of unease on her face.

"You don't like it?" Zhong Luozhuang whispered into her ear.

"Right." Nodding lightly, Xia Xiaomin was a little worried that Zhong Luozheng would be angry.

Zhong Luozhan noticed Xia Xiaomin's small look, and was very satisfied. He thought that when they were discussing business later, Xia Xiaomin would be bored, so he said to her, "Go to the deck and take a breather. Don't go too far away, I'll come looking for you later."

As if she was bestowed a great gift, Xia Xiaomin hastily nodded her head and immediately promised, "Okay, I won't go far."

Xia Xiaomin walked outside happily, but she didn't see a figure in the distance. She followed him out after seeing him leave.

Once on deck, Xia Xiaomin was like a little bird, blowing on the sea breeze in a comfortable and free mood.

"Xiao Min." A familiar voice came from behind her.

Xia Xiaomin's eyes flashed with surprise as she turned around to take a look.

He saw that the man had his hands in his pockets, and the bright night light was shining on him, outlining the gentle outline of his body.

Xia Xiaomin ran in front of him and asked, "Brother Hao, why are you here too?"

"Yes." What about you? "I just saw you with Zhong Luozhan, you guys …" Chen Hao stared into Xia Xiao Min's eyes as he asked worriedly.

When they entered the restaurant earlier, Chen Hao saw them. The intimacy between the two made him wonder what the relationship was between Xia Xiaomin and Zhong Luozhuang.

Furthermore, Zhong Luo's eyes were filled with love as he gazed at Xia Xiaomin.

"Yes, I came with Zhong Luozhan." Xia Xiaomin answered honestly, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"You and him …" Chen Hao secretly clenched his fists. In the end, he couldn't hold back the excitement that he was suppressing. He held her shoulders and asked, "Xiao Min, is he forcing you?"

Xia Xiaomin thought he was asking about the party and shook her head. "At the beginning, yes, but I think it's pretty good now."

Pretty good? Chen Hao didn't expect Xia Xiaomin to say this. His heart instantly felt cold, and he wanted to let go, but he clenched his fist tighter.

"Brother Hao, what's wrong? You're hurting me. " Xia Xiaomin frowned in protest.

Chen Hao finally reacted when he heard Xia Xiaomin's voice. He relaxed his hand a little and looked at her, saying solemnly, "Xiaomin, Zhong Luozhan must be lying to you. You still have some time to go back."

Xia Xiaomin was baffled and asked, "What are you lying about?" Where do I go now? "

The yacht was already in motion. They were in the middle of the ocean.

"Could it be that your feelings for him are already so deep …" Chen Hao muttered dejectedly.

The sea breeze blew, causing Xia Xiaomin to be unable to hear his words clearly, "Brother Hao, what did you say?"

Chen Hao didn't expect that Zhong Luozheng would trick Xia Xiaomin into boarding the 'pirate ship'. Without realizing it, he shook her shoulders excitedly, "Xiaomin, believe me, Zhong Luozhan has everything but is willing to give anything for you. It's still too late for you to leave!"

This time, Xia Xiaomin finally understood.

She angrily pushed away Chen Hao's two arms, and her face blushed as she prepared to explain.

However, Xia Xiaomin didn't know when someone had appeared behind her, but he had wrapped his arm around her waist.
