A few minutes later, Su Yan walked out with a small suitcase. This time, she was going to Xiang City to celebrate Xia Jiang’s birthday. Including today, she would have to stay there for at least two days, so she took a set of pajamas and a change of underwear, and two sets of clothes.
It didn’t rain in Jiang Du today, but the weather was still gloomy, giving people a very depressing feeling. When Xia Zijian saw her dragging the suitcase out, he got out of the car and reached out to take it before putting it into the trunk.
Xia Zijian asked, “Tell me, what do you want to eat? I’ll arrange it for you.”
Although Xia Zijian wasn’t from Jiang Du, his habit of eating, drinking, and having fun had been formed since he was young. In this aspect, Su Yan was indeed no match for him.
Su Yan thought for a moment and said, “I heard from my secretary that there’s a new noodle shop nearby. Do you want to try it?”
Xia Zijian nodded. “It just so happens that I like to eat noodles. Let’s go.”
Su Yan hadn’t eaten noodles outside for a long time. She was in a good mood today. Hence, the two of them ate noodles together. After resting in the noodle shop for a while, they went to the airport together.
..
Three hours later, the plane landed at the Xiang City Airport.
After three years, Su Yan came to Xiang City once again. As soon as she left the airport, she felt as if she had been away from this world. The reason why this place was called Xiang City was because every corner of this city was planted with fresh flowers, moreover, they were the kind of flowers that could emit a strong fragrance. As long as there was a breeze, the entire city would be fragrant. In the past, Su Yan wanted to settle down here. However, after her career developed in Jiang Du, she eventually left Xiang City.
The Grand Hotel.
It was one of the five-star hotels under the Xia family. Xia Zijian arranged for Su Yan to stay here. Moreover, she was staying in the best presidential suite.
Along the way, Xia Zijian’s cell phone in his pocket rang non-stop. It was all from his friends in Xiang City. Every time he returned to Xiang City, it was the same. After all, when people had money and status, naturally they would have more friends. To use a more fashionable phrase now, it wasn’t that having more friends made the path easier, but when one’s path became easier, one would have more friends.
The news traveled fast. Su Yan had just checked into the hotel when the photo of her and Xia Zijian getting off the plane was spread. A trending search soon followed. Combined with Xia Zijian and Xia Jiang’s previous statements, the rumor that they were “in a passionate relationship” was thoroughly verified.
Su Yan had just gotten some free time when Tang Yitong sent her a message. “Take a look. You’re already in a relationship!”
Su Yan raised her eyebrows and opened the web page that Tang Yitong sent her to take a look. Regardless of the angle of the photo or the content, they were all well-grounded. It seemed so convincing that even she almost believed it. Su Yan didn’t even need to ask to know that the instigator behind all this was Xia Zijian.
“Do you want to say it or not? You and Young Master Xia really look like a couple when you walk together. In fact, I feel that apart from having a bad reputation, Xia Zijian doesn’t seem to be inferior to Wei Zhou in any other aspect. If Young Master Xia really has such intentions, why don’t you consider it?” Tang Yitong said in a gossipy manner.
“Hmph, you’re thinking that my life is too monotonous, so you want me to mess around to relieve your boredom?” Su Yan said unhappily.
Xia Zijian wanted to say something to Su Yan, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of Su Yan and Tang Yitong’s conversation, so he changed his words and said, “If you agree, I promise that I’ll only treat you well from now on.”
Seeing Xia Zijian’s serious expression, Su Yan smiled and said, “I can’t afford it.”
Xia Zijian also smiled and changed the topic. “You should have guessed it. The trending search was made by me. I’m causing trouble for You again, right?”
Su Yan nodded. “Same here.”
The so-called trouble was actually mutual. A trending search for the two of them would have an impact on both parties, both personally and professionally. Moreover, ever since the divorce, she had been on a trending search many times. Therefore, she was already used to it and didn’t care at all.
Hearing that she said so, Xia Zijian curled the corner of his mouth and said, “Since you don’t care, then let the trending search stir things up again. Moreover, I am personally very happy with it.”
Hearing this, Su Yan didn’t continue to speak. Tang Yitong was right. Xia Zijian was a good person in every aspect. His looks, background, and EQ weren’t inferior to Wei Zhou in any way, but he was too fickle. Such a man had seen too many women. He had extensive experience and skills. As long as he put in a little effort, he would be able to control her.
After filling in Su Yan’s identity information at the front desk, Xia Zijian said, “I’ll send you up.”
