Chapter 625: Pretend to Be Indifferent
his brain was buzzing with excitement. He realized something was wrong. As Wei Xinyī helped him to bed, he took advantage of his body's inertia and flung her to the head of the bed. Wei Xinyī's head..."Yes, Chun Xia Yi is right. With you looking after things, Second Aunt's many acquaintances among the ladies will ensure the news spreads far and wide!"
“Okay, Chunxiao and I have taken this mission. You guys just wait and see the show!”
Xia Xin is really eager to try this time, this is a long-term mission.
"You should keep an eye on Zhang Xuetou, but don't let the people around him find out. Even if he's careless, the people Zhang Dashuai has arranged around him aren't easy to deal with. Otherwise, he could be dating that nurse without his father noticing, but you guys would."
Ripple reminded.
This wasn't because elder sister was kind-hearted, she would regularly go to the hospital church and donate some food and old clothes to orphaned children who had lost their parents. We took turns going with her twice, and then according to what the nuns said there, they just didn't know that Zhang Xuetao was Miss's fiancée.
It was just a lucky chance. My sister and I pointed at each other, and we both immediately recognized Zhang Xuetao. After that, we bribed the lame old man who guarded the gate of the church hospital, and only then did we find out about their relationship.
The cicada in autumn is also quite speechless. After knowing this beforehand, the two of them were still thinking about how to tell their master, but now they don't have that worry anymore.
"So I'm lucky, there's no need to hide this from my father. After the engagement ceremony ends and I've left, you tell him, and he'll arrange for some clever messengers to protect you."
"Alright, I'll listen to Miss. Just let me know if there's anything I can do to help."
After discussing the follow-up arrangements, ripples and the four aunts made a plan. Meanwhile, Yunsiyu also finished her work and left.
She carried her own bag, specially wearing a checkered cheongsam. Her jet-black hair was styled up half way and the rest cascaded down. She had a pair of pearl earrings on, looking confident, simple and elegant. She walked straight to her usual coffee shop.
After Yunsīyǔ found out Zhang Xuetāo's identity, she avoided meeting him in public places. So when she went to the cafe, she chose a corner with curtains separating her from others.
When Zhang Xuetao arrived, he saw that the clouds and rain were stirring his coffee in the cup, but the person was lost in thought, wondering what they were thinking about.
"Miss Yun, I'm sorry, I'm late."
In a well-tailored three-piece gray suit, Zhang Xuetao said with great courtesy.
It's okay, I just got here a while ago too.
Yun Si rain-dressed, forcing a smile, said.
"Well, you said you had something to ask me. Go ahead,"
Zhang Xuetao didn't know how to start the conversation, so he let the other party speak first.
"I want to know, are you Zhang Dashuai's son The rumors spreading recently say that you are getting engaged to Duan Dashuai's daughter. Is this true"
Yunshi Yu closed her eyes and pondered for a moment before bluntly asking.
"Yes, but I didn't intend to hide anything from you."
"I know, it's my own fault for being stupid. I just thought you were some rich young master and never even considered that you might be from the Zhang family in the north. It's a shame, considering I was born in the north myself. It's not your fault that I didn't ask."
Yun Si Yu chuckled wryly.
The other party didn't accuse or get angry, only self-deprecating. This made Zhang Haitao feel very embarrassed.
Although I didn't explicitly state my identity, I truly treated you as a friend.
"Friend So you only consider me a friend"
Yunshiyu's eyes welled up with tears, making Zhang Xuedao swallow the rest of his words and unable to speak.
"Zhang Gongzi, I have to admit, the longer I know you, the more I discover your shining points. I do have some feelings for you, but that doesn't mean my feelings are inferior."
Before you got engaged, I interacted with you, and neither of us said a word out of line. But now that you're engaged, I don't want to be the woman who is publicly criticized for ruining someone else's relationship!
From now on, let's pretend we never met. It's best if we don't see each other again. I hope you'll consider our past acquaintance and not make things difficult for me. Thank you!
Yun Siyu finished speaking, then put down the coffee spoon in her hand and picked up her bag to get up and leave.
Her performance was somewhat beyond Zhang Xuetao's expectations, so he instinctively reached out to grab her, but Yun Siyu dodged him. She frowned and said:
“Young Master Zhang, please be more careful.”
Then she left the coffee shop directly. She needed to prepare for her next big performance.
Zhang Xuetao sat for a while and then left the coffee shop. He didn't notice that across the aisle, at another table, there was a bewitching woman who had filmed his entire meeting with Yun Siyu, and she used a miniature camera to do so.
Three days later, the photo arrived in Xia Xin's hands. She held the photo and went to find Lianyi, saying with a smile:
"Miss, you're amazing! You guessed it right. Yunsiyu clearly stated her position and drew a line with Zhang Xuetou. That young master Zhang seems a bit reluctant to let go!"
It was no surprise that the ripples appeared. Yunsiyu, having crossed over from modern society, still had some skills up her sleeve.
"Aunt, from now on, don't have your people keep an eye on Zhang Xuetuo. He's been following Zhang Dashuai recently, and his security level is very high. Have your people keep an eye on Yun Siyu instead. She's easier to monitor, and she will definitely create opportunities for herself to run into Zhang Xuetuo."
"Understood, I think the same way. I'll keep these photos for now, they might come in handy later."
Xia Xin said happily.
"Alright, I'll go accompany my father to meet General Zhang."
Lily changed into a white lace dress and went to the front hall to meet Zhang Fenglin.
Zhang Xuetou listlessly accompanied his father as a guest at Duan Dashao's mansion. Ever since he met Yun Siyu at the cafe, he tried to make another appointment with her, but she politely and vaguely refused each time. This left him feeling strangely out of sorts.
If Lian Ri knew about this, she would definitely say he was a jerk.
"Xuetao, what are you daydreaming about Lianyi is asking you something"
Zhang Fenglin's voice rang in Zhang Xuetao's ear, pulling him back from his daze.
Only then did he see Ripples sitting across from him, gazing at him with her bright eyes. He immediately blushed and said:
I don't usually see Lianri sister wearing dresses, I didn't expect it to be so beautiful, I was stunned for a moment!
After finishing, he still shyly scratched his head.
"Haha, you silly kid, you haven't had enough after looking at it for two years!"
Zhang Fenglin said cheerfully.
Zhang Xuetao didn't speak, just giggled foolishly, looking like a lovesick teenager.
But the ripples didn't see the slightest hint of admiration in his eyes. She stood up and looked at the two bigwigs at the top, saying:
"Uncle Zhang, Father, you two carry on here. I'll take Xuetao for a walk in the back garden. Anyway, I don't understand these things about war. I have something to talk to Xuetao about."
"Look, they think we old folks are in the way! Well, go on and play by yourselves. I'll have a word with your Uncle Zhang."
Duan Zongqing, with a wave of his hand, knew what his daughter wanted to do and did not stop her.
Zhang Dashuai wouldn't stop him either. He was glad his son could keep Duan Dashuai's daughter firmly in his grasp, and generously allowed the two of them not to accompany him.
The ripples took Zhang Xuetao to the rear garden of the Marshal's Mansion and sat him down in the octagonal pavilion that had been prepared long ago.tammered and said with a strained smile."I said I was here to visit the mistress."Ripple didn't wait for Chapter to invite her, she simply sat down on the rattan chair beside him, smiling."Mr. Yun, al...
