Zhan Ziye noticed the anger that flashed past Du Yanqing's eyes with his sharp eyes, as well as an intention to escape. Without saying a word, he stood up from the sofa and walked in front of Du Yanqing. Ye Zichen supported himself on the door behind her and subconsciously stopped her from opening the door. Due to the difference in height, he lowered his head and deliberately approached her face.
This sudden approach made Du Yanqing subconsciously move back a few steps, and his back coincidentally leaned on the door. He panicked, and suddenly looked somewhat at a loss for words.
"Tsk, so I'm that important to you? You actually believed me when I was joking around? "
When the two of them looked at each other, Zhan Ziye noticed Du Yanqing's subconscious dodging movements and felt a bit of discomfort in the bottom of his heart, but he pretended to be indifferent on the surface. The corner of her mouth curled up into a teasing smile as she turned her head to the side and whispered into her ear.
Du Yanqing's ears turned slightly red from the hot air Zhan Ziye ejected out, and she forcefully pushed Zhan Ziye, who was near her, forty-five degrees forward. He deliberately took a few steps forward, maintaining a distance from Zhan Ziye.
It was unknown if it was because Du Yanqing's skin was too sensitive or if Zhan Ziye's actions made her feel an inexplicable sense of shyness, causing her to unconsciously become flustered. When he got close to the other party, his heartbeat became a little erratic. However, it was not the feeling of his heart beating, but an impulse to escape.
"Ahem, today is my birthday." Zhan Ziye was not the least bit angry after being pushed away by Du Yanqing. When he sensed that her ears had turned red, for some reason, he had the urge to put it in his mouth. His strong self-control had perfectly controlled his actions, and with a slight cough, he eased the awkwardness on both sides. He turned around and walked towards the sofa, pretending to lean on it lazily.
The light in the room was not as dazzling and changeable as outside. It was unknown if it was because the room was too soundproof or because it was too far away from the sound, but after a moment of silence, the surroundings became very quiet. It was like a completely different world from the noise outside.
"What are you doing here instead of having a party?" The anger at the bottom of Du Yanqing's heart was blocked by his bashful emotions, and at the same time, because of Zhan Ziye's words, he felt a burst of astonishment at the bottom of his heart, as though he faintly felt that his family background was not small.
Just as Zhan Ziye was about to speak, Du Yanqing's mobile phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the display on the screen that displayed Lu Juyan, and embarrassedly pulled out a smile at Zhan Ziye. He turned around and pressed the answer button to his ear. Then, he opened his mouth and said: "Hey, what happened?"
She did not use too many polite words. Perhaps she was used to it, or perhaps she had long ago thought of Lu Juyan as a kind of person by her side. On the contrary, she treated Zhan Ziye who had suddenly tricked her with a lot of politeness and treated him as an outsider.
This caused Zhan Ziye, who had just opened his mouth, to involuntarily close it, and a faint uncomfortable feeling arose from the bottom of his heart. He picked up the wine bottle from the table and poured a cup of wine on top of it. He took a sip to ease his displeasure.
Inside the rented room, Lu Juyan was alone and calm for nearly half an hour before he managed to calm the anger at the bottom of his heart. He opened his clenched fist, and a numbing pain came from his palm. At the same time, his tightly knitted eyebrows also calmed down the moment he thought of the situation.
He ignored the numbness and pain in his hand and picked up his phone to check the time on the screen, realizing that so much time had passed. Ye Zichen looked towards the door, and waited for several seconds, but he didn't hear any sound of the door opening. His brows furrowed once again, and a kind of anger began to vaguely spread towards Zhan Ziye.
Without thinking too much, Lu Juyan immediately called Du Yanqing. Hearing her voice that did not know the truth, the sullen feeling in his heart calmed down. Pretending to be indifferent, he opened his mouth and covered the place where the voice came from. He coughed lightly and felt his throat had become much better before opening his mouth and saying, "Nothing, it's just that someone was looking for you."
In order to prevent Du Yanqing from noticing Lu Juyan's anger, he very naturally walked towards the room and picked up the angle cup that was missing from the table. Looking at the small gap in the wall, he felt slightly displeased. However, he accepted his fate and poured the water into his throat to ease the dryness in his throat.
"Who is that person?" Du Yanqing's eyes flashed a trace of worry, and he faintly suspected that it was that foreign friend. Ye Zichen moved his phone away from his ear, but didn't see any news. He felt that something was wrong. He pursed his dry lips and could not help but ask.
"I didn't ask." Lu Juyan's gaze landed on the door, and he vaguely felt a sense of guilt and sadness. However, he deliberately hoped that Du Yanqing would return and pretended to be indifferent as he spoke. He did not seem to meddle in other people's business, nor did he reveal any more words.
This made Du Yanqing speechless. His feelings were extremely complicated, and he creased his head. Opening his mouth, he wanted to ask more, but just as he was about to hang up, Lu Juyan was afraid that he would say more, so he chose not to speak.
Du Yanqing listened to the beeping from the phone and shut his mouth helplessly. Gripping the phone in his hand, he turned around and wanted to say a few words to Zhan Ziye to leave, but before he could say anything, the door to the room was pushed open by someone outside.
"Young Master Zhan, happy birthday!"
The friends who were giving Zhan Ziye's party all pushed their way in as they shouted in unison. Everyone was dressed very formally. There was no hint of obscenity at all. This made Du Yanqing feel that this place was completely out of place with the scene on the stage in the bar.
Du Yanqing's words that he wanted to blurt out were cut off. It was unknown if it was because she was too delicate or because there were too few women present, but Zhan Ziye's good friends all turned their gazes towards her.
The man who was pushing the cake walked in front of Zhan Ziye, put his elbow on Zhan Ziye's body, pointed at himself, and rubbed his chin. The corner of my mouth curled up. I knew how to smile and I couldn't help but tease the two of them. "Tsk, this is the first time I've seen Young Master Zhan come so early. So it's because I have a beauty accompanying me.
The others could not help but agree with him, they were extremely curious about Du Yanqing, and with everyone talking, it just so happened that Du Yanqing forgot about the words they had wanted to say. Faced with everyone's teasing and teasing, Du Yanqing very eagerly started to explain: "It's not what you think, I have nothing to do with Zhan Ziye!"
Zhan Ziye, who was standing next to the man, coldly glanced at him, but not a single trace of displeasure appeared in his eyes. Looking at Du Yanqing's anxious and flustered look, the corner of his mouth raised into a faint smile. He casually poured him a cup of wine as a reward.
