SanjitNovel Chapter 1209 She's Not His Leading Lady
Chapter 1209 She's Not His Leading Lady
Zhuang Yi drove the car to Liu Zhenghong's garage.
The two got out of the car.
Liu Zhenghong said to his nephew, "It's quite late today, you should stay at home."
Zhuang Yi declined, saying, "No, I have things to take care of at my company and I have to go back. Uncle, you should go upstairs and rest."
Liu Zhenghong tossed the car keys Zhuang Yi had handed him back to him, saying, "Then you can drive my car away."
Zhuang Yi thought for a moment and realized it would be difficult to get a taxi at this time, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take you to the food factory tomorrow?"
"I don't need you to take me! Get lost! You better take what I just said to heart!"
Liu Zhenghong started to dislike his nephew.
He suspected that the kid's offer to give him a ride was a pretense; his real intention was probably to use the excuse of going to the food factory to see if he could bump into Su Xing.
He snorted coldly, turned around, and went upstairs.
Zhuang Yi put his hands in his pockets, watched his uncle leave, and then got into the car.
He didn't have any urgent matters to deal with at his company; he just wanted to calm down and process what had happened that day.
Today, from the surprise of seeing Su Xing to the shock of hearing that she has a boyfriend, his mood was like a rollercoaster ride.
Zhuang Yi started the car, drove away from his uncle's house, and then parked it in a different spot.
He took out his phone and tapped on Su Xing's WeChat profile picture.
He clicked into her Moments and started browsing.
Su Xing doesn't post on his WeChat Moments very often, so he scrolled through each post one by one.
He hadn't been scrolling for long when he saw a photo of Su Xing with a young man.
The two were standing very close, their smiles sweet, and it was easy to tell what their relationship was.
Looking at the caption again, it really was her boyfriend...
Zhuang Yi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then zoomed in on the photo to observe the details.
Su Xing's eyes crinkled into crescents, and her smile was truly bright and radiant!
Then look at that young man...
Zhuang Yi wanted to find fault, but suddenly ran out of words!
He realized that some of his uncle's words were not an exaggeration. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that this man... had a good-looking appearance.
Su Xing... Is choosing a boyfriend based on looks?
She shouldn't be that superficial, right?
Zhuang Yi himself didn't realize how contradictory his thoughts were.
He was very confident, thinking that he was handsome and no less than anyone else. He hoped that all beautiful women would only care about his looks and would like him.
Now, the man in the photo is much more handsome, and he hopes that Su Xing isn't such a superficial person.
But if she wasn't just after his looks, was it his academic background? He suddenly regretted pursuing a doctorate...
Zhuang Yi continued scrolling through Su Xing's WeChat Moments, his feelings growing more complicated with each post.
He wanted to understand her past life, but there was always the shadow of someone else in her life...
The more he looked at it, the more his brows furrowed, and finally, in frustration, he put his phone away.
Zhuang Yi restarted the car.
As he drove, he suddenly realized that he had driven back to the vicinity of the hotel where Su Xing was staying!
He sighed, finally drove to the hotel entrance, and got out of the car.
He leaned against the car, looking up at the hotel building.
He didn't know which floor or room Su Xing was staying in, nor did he know where to focus his gaze.
He casually counted the floors, and before he knew it, he was on the top floor. Looking up, all he could see was a dim sky...
Zhuang Yi looked up at the sky and exhaled a long breath of cold air...
Winter nights in Jinan are still quite cold.
Not long after, Zhuang Yi felt his face go numb from the cold.
The cold wind still blew up his collar and into his neck.
Zhuang Yi suddenly froze. What was he doing? Standing downstairs in someone's hotel, basking in the cold wind, acting like a male lead in an idol drama! The thing is… the girl upstairs didn't seem to be his leading lady…
He laughed to himself.
At that moment, the hotel doors opened.
Zhuang Yi looked over hopefully, only to see the hotel security guard.
The security guard stared at him warily, not like he was looking at a good person.
Zhuang Yi: "..."
He gave the security guard an awkward smile.
The security guard asked, "Sir, are you a hotel guest? Or are you planning to check in?"
"No," Zhuang Yi said. "I just came to see a friend off."
"Really?"
The security guard looked at him suspiciously; how come he hadn't seen anyone enter the hotel just now?
Zhuang Yi didn't say anything more, turned around, got into his car, and drove away.
The security guard watched the car drive away and muttered, "The car is nice, but the person seems off. Could he really be a pervert?"
……
Su Xing had no idea that Zhuang Yi had returned to the entrance of her hotel and was being treated like a pervert by the security guards.
After she showered and washed up, she video-chatted with her boyfriend.
After chatting sweetly for a while, Su Xing turned on his computer and started working, while He Xu read academic papers.
He Xu was sleepy, so he went to bed to rest.
I didn't want to sleep after waking up, so I kept busy.
The two switched from video to audio call and didn't hang up.
And so they continued their live stream together for another night.
It was as if they were right beside each other.
……
The next day was January 1st, New Year's Day.
Qin Houze came to the hotel to pick up Su Xing.
They went to the factory again, met with Liu Zhenghong, and had a small meeting with several department managers.
This mainly involves production plans and channel expansion plans at the beginning of the year.
After the meeting, Qin Houze and Liu Zhenghong both invited Su Xing to their homes for the holiday.
"Xiao Su, why don't you come and get acquainted with the place?"
"Xiao Su, come to my house. Your aunt has prepared a lot of dishes today. She's an excellent cook!"
Su Xing smiled and said resolutely, "No, I have to get back to the capital as soon as possible. It's a holiday today, and my boyfriend and his family are waiting for me to come back so we can have dinner together. I'll visit Uncle Qin and Uncle Liu's house when I have the chance."
After hearing what Su Xing said, Qin Houze and Liu Zhenghong could no longer try to persuade her to stay.
"Alright then," Qin Houze said. "Let's have a quick lunch nearby, and then I'll take you to the station."
Su Xing nodded, "Okay."
Liu Zhenghong said, "When you have time in the future, Xiao Su, you must come to my house for a visit."
Su Xing smiled and agreed, "Okay, definitely."
The group found a nearby restaurant and had a quick meal. Afterwards, Qin Houze and Liu Zhenghong took Su Xing to catch the high-speed train.
Su Xing booked the 2 PM train, arriving in Beijing around 3:30 PM.
She waved goodbye to Qin Houze and Liu Zhenghong and went through security.
She had her ticket checked in less than twenty minutes after she started waiting for the train.
After Su Xing got into the car, she sent a message to He Xu.
Can't I stay asleep?: "I'm getting on the train, we'll be in Beijing in an hour and a half~ (emoji: thumbs up)"
He Xu replied to the message very quickly.
Xu: "I'll come pick you up, see you in a bit. (Expression: happy)"
Can't you stay asleep? "See you in a bit."
