Despite thinking that way, Xie Zhuzhou was still a little nervous. If that person really was Xie Guanxia, why did he only appear at this time?
Is there really a compelling reason?
He really wasn't good at dealing with these things. Despite spending a long time with Ji Wuqiu, he still held back with his family. There was always a faint, invisible barrier between them, even though they were close.
Even now, he still hasn't fully opened his heart to anyone, including Chu Yanzhang.
Is it true that he traveled to this bizarre and fantastical world and became " Xie Zhuzhou "?
Chu Little Yan is so afraid of ghosts, he'll definitely be afraid of him.
It would be better to bury all the secrets deep in the heart, until old age and death, so that only he knows them.
Xie Zhuzhou remained silent throughout the journey, escorting Chu Yanzhang back to his villa.
Before getting out of the car, Chu Yanzhang was still worried about Xie Zhuzhou's mental state. " Zhouzhou, no matter what, I will always be by your side to protect you. You don't need to work too hard."
Xie Zhuzhou smiled, but there was a hint of weariness in his smile. "Okay, if there's anything I can't handle, I'll ask you for help."
Compared to before, Xie Zhuzhou no longer shoulders everything alone, but seeks help from his brothers and father. Now, he is often taken care of by Chu Little Yan. He remembers everything.
Yes, he is no longer alone.
How could he forget?
"Go back, get some rest today. You can work from home if you don't want to go to the office, as long as you complete your tasks." Xie Zhuzhou turned to him and kissed his lips briefly, then whispered, "Don't worry about me."
"Okay," Chu Yanzhang's Adam's apple bobbed, and he got out of the car with a slightly flushed face, standing there watching Xie Zhuzhou drive away.
It's just a few steps anyway. He plans to have a road built so that people can ride their balance bikes, and then install streetlights so he won't be afraid to go to the Ji Family at night.
Let's get started.
After receiving the instructions, Dais Days contacted someone to start work the next day.
As soon as Xie Zhuzhou arrived home, he went straight to his father Ji Wuqiu's study. Although he was sometimes impatient, he hesitated when he stood in front of his father's study and did not dare to knock on the door immediately.
What is the father's attitude towards Xie Guanxia? Does he find him annoying?
After hesitating for a moment, he raised his hand and gently knocked on the door. Two seconds later, the door to Ji Wuqiu's study opened automatically, and a faint scent of bamboo wafted out.
"Father, I need to speak with you. Are you free now?"
The first thing you see is Ji Wuqiu dressed in a light blue Zen-inspired outfit, looking relaxed and fresh, with an inherent elegance and nobility that makes him seem very much like a married man.
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." Dad, you still have your charm.
He thought that all the domineering CEOs, except for Chu Little Yan, liked to wear suits welded onto their bodies.
"Yes, come in." Ji Wuqiu this cool study door for a long time, and his son was only knocking now. He felt a little resentful, thinking that his youngest son didn't care about him at all, always going to Ji Wangchen when something happened but never coming to him.
Is it because he's getting old? Or is there just a generation gap between him and his son?
With a gentle expression, the deep-thinking Ji Wuqiu played the role of a loving father.
He gestured for Xie Zhuzhou to sit opposite him, then took out a can of Want Want milk from his drawer. "I heard your classmate loved drinking it when he was little. You're still young now, why don't you try some?"
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." Li Yankai, what did you say to my dad!
Xie Zhuzhou says he's not very interested in fruit juice anymore and prefers milk tea.
But that doesn't mean he likes drinking Want Want milk!
Look at the pair of big eyes on the red soda can.
Xie Zhuzhou was speechless, but he didn't go against his father's wishes. How old is he to only think about caring for his child now? The child is old enough to draw a bow and fire a cannon.
Xie Zhuzhou as he opened the jar and carefully took a sip.
It's good, but a bit sweet. Half-sweet coffee and milk tea with only 30% sweetness would suit him better.
Seeing that her son had relaxed, Ji Wuqiu asked, "You want to know about your mother?"
"You knew?" No wonder my father didn't react at all when he said he was going to see someone today; he already knew?
"Hmm," Ji Wuqiu tidied the books on the table and continued with her own work.
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." No, something's wrong with his father. What aspect of his demeanor has changed?
But never mind, he doesn't have time to pursue that now, he just wants to ask about Xie Guanxia.
"So, the person I went to see today really was Xie Guanxia?"
Ji Wuqiu frowned slightly. "What Xie Guanxia? That's your mother. How can you call her by her full name in front of her?"
"No." Xie Zhuzhou sensed a hint of barely perceptible anger, surprised that his usually composed father could also be angry.
After realizing the source of his father's anger and quickly making several assumptions, Xie Zhuzhou seemed to understand why Ji Wuqiu had suddenly become so abnormal.
The traitor Xie Zhuzhou gradually curled his lips into a smile, then suddenly said with a laugh, "Father, if my mother and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?"
Ji Wuqiu was stunned. He never dreamed that his son would ask him such a question. This meant that his youngest son finally cared about him!
Is he jealous of his mother?
"Of course I'll save you. I heard your mother won a swimming competition organized by her school when she was in school."
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." He guessed that Ji Wuqiu might have feelings for Xie Guanxia, but he didn't expect his father to remember it so clearly!
After belatedly realizing he'd been tricked into revealing information by his cunning son, Ji Wuqiu was utterly speechless. "You even schemed against your own father?"
Xie Zhuzhou smiled slightly, but the innocent smile on his face gradually turned sinister, "Father, I didn't."
Ji Wuqiu: "..." Did he really not have a single child who was even remotely normal in his entire life?
In short, Xie Zhuzhou confirmed from Ji Wuqiu's tone that the person today was indeed Xie Guanxia, the original owner's biological mother.
This also confirms that Ji Wuqiu's father and biological mother are probably still in contact, further explaining why Ji Wuqiu has remained single all these years, never going out to flirt or have any scandals in his private life.
This is enough to show that Ji Wuqiu is a devoted lover, or perhaps his father is incompetent.
"So, that's all the questions?" Ji Wuqiu felt a little nervous seeing his son suddenly fall into deep thought. Was the kid angry?
If Xie Zhuzhou is truly angry with Xie Guanxia, he will ultimately side with Xie Guanxia, caught in the middle.
"I'm not angry. I just want to ask you, what does my mother do for a living? Can't I even know?"
"Maintaining world peace."
Seeing Xie Zhuzhou's "Do you think I believe that?" expression, Ji Wuqiu said helplessly, "It's true. Anyway, her job is very dangerous. Maybe she'll retire in a year or two, and then you'll have more opportunities to see her."
After a pause, Ji Wuqiu added, "But it's still too dangerous around her. There are many people who want revenge on her. You... be careful."
