704, If you want to marry, I will marry you anytime
After hearing this explanation, Xiao Yingze knew that Lu Ziyou had not really let go of Huo Tianshuo. In fact, he could understand this. How could he let go of Huo Tianshuo just because he had given his true feelings.
At this time, Lu Ziyou said again.
"I saw Li Manzi there that day, and suddenly I realized that if I were a man, I would probably like a woman like her. She can go to the hall and the kitchen, and she is so feminine. As for me, besides having a better family background and being serious about my work, it seems that I
There are no advantages.”
When Lu Ziyou said this, Xiao Yingze finally understood why she asked him that just now.
He couldn't help pinching Lu Ziyou's cheek, and then said with an expression of hatred.
"Lu Ziyou, can you stop being so unconfident? Why don't you have any advantages? You are independent, you are straightforward, and you are informal. Aren't these all advantages? A woman like Li Manzi only knows how to depend on men. What's so good about it?
, in today’s society, women are not all advocated to be independent and self-reliant, that is the feminine beauty of modern women. As a literary writer, you have read so many romance novels and see how popular female characters are. This proves that they are popular now.
trend, stop feeling sorry for yourself, let’s go home.”
After saying that, Xiao Yingze took Lu Ziyou's hand and walked towards the parking lot. Lu Ziyou hadn't reacted at first. After walking for a long time, she suddenly pulled Xiao Yingze.
"You can leave."
When Lu Ziyou said this, Xiao Yingze felt guilty for a while, but when he turned around, he still had the weak and helpless expression at the beginning and said with a look of resentment.
"I saw you standing there in a daze. If I didn't pull you away, it would be dark today. Lu Ziyou, cheer up and don't destroy your self-confidence because of a scumbag."
Xiao Yingze slowed down, but always held Lu Ziyou's hand tightly with one hand, and the two of them walked slowly.
At this time, Lu Ziyou said in a low voice.
"But the audience for those stories about strong women are girls. Not many men would like a woman like me who doesn't know how to cook."
"I like it."
Xiao Yingze almost blurted out, but regretted it after saying it. He glanced at Lu Ziyou with some embarrassment, and Lu Ziyou smiled and snorted softly.
"Haha, but I don't like you."
After saying this, Xiao Yingze felt like a sharp knife was piercing his heart. Looking at this incomprehensible woman, didn't he know how to speak tactfully?
"Lu Ziyou, can you stop being so rational at this time? I know you don't like me, but you don't have to be so direct."
"Look, you can't stand my personality, right?"
When Lu Ziyou actually retorted, Xiao Yingze curled his lips and said something when he saw Lu Ziyou who was in a depressed mood.
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it."
When going back, Xiao Yingze drove. More than half an hour later, the two of them returned to Yayuan and entered the elevator. Xiao Yingze asked.
"Would you like to go to my place to finish dinner?"
Lu Ziyou thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yingze was busy for a while after returning. An hour later, there were several more delicious dishes on the dining table. Seeing this scene, Lu Ziyou was filled with emotion again.
"A man can cook better than me, no wonder no one wants me."
Xiao Yingze heard this and said as he served Lu Ziyou rice.
"If you want to marry, I will marry you anytime."
"Go away, Xiao Yingze, I think it's better for us to be friends. It's easier this way."
Being given the good guy card again made Xiao Yingze feel miserable, but seeing the disappointed expression on Lu Ziyou's face, he could only remain silent in the end.
Two days later, Xiao Yingxi finally returned from Nanyun, and the little girl from the orphanage came to Luo City with her. It was only when Xiao Yingxi helped her buy a plane ticket that she learned that her name was Zhang Lu.
Of course, Gu Jinmo followed him back to Luo City. He followed Xiao Zichen and the others directly back to Haotianju without him having to say anything. Xiao Yingze went to the airport to pick them up in person.
Haotianju, which had been dormant for many days, finally became lively again, and the servants in the villa were working much harder than they had been in the past few days.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year passed, and Xiao Yingxi was about to return to Huacheng. She left Zhang Lu in Luocheng, just in time to accompany her parents. She would come back to guide Zhang Lu's painting when she had time.
"Luoluo, long time no see."
The second day after returning to Huacheng, Ou Zhengyan found Xiao Yingxi. During this period, he had been hesitating whether to call Xiao Yingxi to express condolences, but he felt it was too abrupt, so he didn't call in the end.
However, after learning that Xiao Yingxi came to Huacheng, Ou Zhengyan immediately made an appointment to meet. However, because Xiao Yingxi was busy with registration yesterday, she made an appointment to meet at Ou Zhengyan's studio today.
But after not seeing her for several months, Xiao Yingxi lost a lot of weight.
"Brother Zhengyan, I haven't seen you for a long time. Thanks to you during this time, now that I'm back, you can leave anything to me in the future."
Xiao Yingxi felt a little guilty. They had originally agreed to return to Huacheng after the Chinese New Year because they happened to have a project going to a city in the north. However, because of the incident in the year of Mas, Ou Zhengyan ended up being responsible for all the charity activities.
After hearing what Xiao Yingxi said, Ou Zhengyan smiled lightly and said.
"It's okay. I've also heard about your family's affairs. The deceased is gone, so don't be too sad."
When Xiao Yingxi heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes. After discussion, they decided not to disclose Mas Nian's death to the public for the time being, so when Ou Zhengyan talked about it, she was still a little surprised.
But then he thought of the relationship between Ou Zhengyan and Ou Qianyi. After returning from Nanyun, Xiao Yingze also told them about Ou Qianyi, so he didn't think it was too sudden.
However, Xiao Yingxi couldn't help but feel sad when she mentioned Mas Nian's incident again, but it was much better than before.
Xiao Yingxi smiled faintly, shook her head and said.
"It's all over. Thank you for your concern. Let's not talk about this anymore. Didn't you mention the charity event in Tongcheng on the phone yesterday? What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Xiao Yingxi didn't want to talk about those sad things, so she directly changed the subject with work. Ou Zhengyan also noticed Xiao Yingxi's rejection, so he stood up and took a document from the cabinet next to him and handed it to Xiao Yingxi.
"Look, I just came back from Tongcheng the day before yesterday. The situation there is much worse than we imagined. Currently, Tongcheng is the only place without Yufeng Studio, and we don't have more volunteers sent there now.
There are no more professional art schools there to provide us with local volunteers.”
Ou Zhengyan explained the situation. Xiao Yingxi listened and realized the difficulty of this project.
Their colorful charity project is to select some children from local schools who love painting and think they have a talent for painting, but whose families cannot support them to realize their dreams, and then gather them together.
It is equivalent to setting up a new art school in the local area to focus on cultivating their fine arts while completing nine years of compulsory education.
In the past, wherever they carried out projects, there were basically Yufeng studios, which meant they had a place to carry out courses and then sent volunteer teachers.
But here in Tongcheng, there is no Yufeng Studio, which means that they have to build a new school. The most important thing is that they are in short supply of volunteers. The conditions in Tongcheng are relatively poor, and many volunteer teachers are not willing to go.
There, this is the most difficult place for Ou Zhengyan.
When Xiao Yingxi heard this, she was thoughtful, but she did not immediately come up with a solution, but said.
"Let me go back and think about it. As long as I think about it, the difficulties can always be solved. In the worst case, we will build a Hope Primary School there. This was originally within the scope of our plan when we first established the project."
"Okay, I will also be thinking of ways to see if I can contact you to find an unused place, which can also save costs."
The two of them chatted in the studio for most of the day, until after dinner, Gu Jinmo came over.
"Luoluo, are you done talking?"
As soon as Gu Jinmo came in, he didn't even say hello to Ou Zhengyan, but went straight to Xiao Yingxi and sat down.
When Ou Zhengyan saw Gu Jinmo's attitude, he didn't care. He just smiled faintly and looked at the time before saying.
"I'm really sorry that this conversation has come so late. I'll treat you to dinner."
Ou Zhengyan spoke, but Gu Jinmo immediately refused.
"Mr. Ou, that's no need. We're going to see a movie later, so there's no need for Mr. Ou to spend any money."
After saying that, Gu Jinmo glanced at Xiao Yingxi, meaning to ask her to leave with him.
Xiao Yingxi also knew that there was Ou Qianyi and her daughter between Ou Zhengyan and Gu Jinmo, so it was impossible for them to eat at the same table, so she also said.
"Brother Zhengyan, let's go next time. Then we'll leave first."
When Ou Zhengyan heard this, a dark light flashed across his half-downed face, but when he raised his head, he had a kind smile on his face and said calmly.
"Then I won't keep you two, Mr. Gu, please go slowly."
When Ou Zhengyan said this to Young Master Gu, his voice became a little louder. When Xiao Yingxi heard this, she sighed softly in her heart, but she did not comment on this. After all, she was just an outsider.
After that, Gu Jinmo and Xiao Yingxi walked towards the door. However, when they were walking out of the office, Gu Jinmo suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Ou Zhengyan and said.
"Mr. Ou, recently my uncle has been thinking about letting you go back to Tengmai Technology. Let me advise you that there are some things that he can't just give if he wants. Without Yuexing Group, who in Huacheng would know about Tengmai Technology?
