"Uh... well... we either came together or it was a coincidence that we arrived at the door at the same time, so... we came in together." Tang Zhixia stammered to explain.
"Really?" Zhan Qingye really wanted to believe it.
"I went to Miss Tang's father's celebration last night and got drunk. I slept at Miss Tang's house all night. I accompanied her to pick up Chenchen." Xi Jiuchen revealed all the key information in one sentence.
He was drunk last night and slept all night at Tang Zhixia's house. This is the key point.
Next to her, Tang Zhixia's face turned red. She quickly glared at the man who was trying to undermine her. Can you save her some face?
Zhan Qingye was stunned for a few seconds and looked at Tang Zhixia with some annoyance, "Why didn't you tell me about your dad's celebration? I should go celebrate too!"
"Uh... it's just a small celebration." Tang Zhixia was embarrassed to look directly at Zhan Qingye.
"Chenchen is still sleeping, please wait a moment." After Zhan Qingye finished speaking, he looked at Xi Jiuchen, the two pairs of eyes engaged in an invisible battle in the air.
Xi Jiuchen looked at him calmly, "Qingye, thank you for taking care of Chenchen last night."
"No need." Zhan Qingye gritted his teeth angrily. His cousin sent the little guy here last night, but he secretly went to Zhi Xia's father's celebration and deliberately slept drunk at her house.
This whole set of operations simply impressed him. Men know men best.
"Zhixia, you go first, brother, I have something to talk to you about." Zhan Qingye walked towards the balcony.
Xi Jiuchen followed him and walked over. Tang Zhixia didn't think much about it. He just felt that they did have something to talk about.
On the balcony.
Zhan Qingye looked at Xi Jiuchen questioningly. He had never questioned him so seriously since he was a child, "Are you serious about Zhixia, or are you just playing with her?"
Xi Jiuchen's expression became serious, and he stared back at him with a serious look that he had never seen before, "Of course I am serious."
"Are you sure? It's not because her mother died because of you. Are you repaying her kindness?"
Xi Jiuchen once thought that he liked Tang Zhixia out of repayment, but after getting along with her for this period of time, he realized that despite all this, she was deeply occupied in his heart.
"Qingye, I really like her, believe me." Xi Jiuchen sighed lightly.
"Then can you accept Chenchen? Even if he is not your biological child, will you treat him as your own?" Zhan Qingye asked again, staring at him with bright eyes, even though he knew that he had no chance to be with Tang Zhixia
, but he also has to be her gatekeeper, guarding for her the man who will ultimately accompany her.
"I will." Xi Jiuchen nodded and promised him that they both understood each other's thoughts tacitly.
"If you marry her tonight and Zhixia says she won't have any more children, will you respect her?" Zhan Qingye hopes Xi Jiuchen can do everything he can.
Xi Jiuchen nodded again, "I respect all her ideas."
"You swear that you will protect her for me, take care of her, and love her for the rest of your life." Zhan Qingye stared at him uneasily.
Xi Jiuchen also saw Zhan Qingye's determination to love Tang Zhixia. His heart sank slightly. He reached out and patted his shoulder, "Qingye, you should know what kind of person I am since I was a child."
After saying that, a strong apology flashed in his eyes, "Qingye, I'm sorry."
He stole the woman he liked, and they were good brothers who grew up together.
Zhan Qingye leaned against the railing and smiled bitterly at him, "No need to apologize. I have always known that Zhixia only regards me as a good friend. Now, I have brother to pursue him for me and leave it to you. I am most at ease."
Xi Jiuchen reached out and patted his shoulder, not knowing how to comfort him.
The two men were looking at the woman on the sofa in the hall, making an emotional exchange, but Tang Zhixia in the hall had no idea. She was stopping to admire an interesting hanging painting, with a graceful and charming figure.
Her light and aura.
Zhan Qingye seemed reluctant to give up, but was extremely relieved. He said, "Brother, I will give her to you."
Xi Jiuchen also looked at the girl with burning eyes, exuding a strong desire for possession, and answered in his heart that she could only belong to him.
Because he would never allow any man to get close to her again.
