A year older, the third master of Beijing circle kissed her to tears

Chapter 501 Love Hidden in the Veil & Afraid of Losing Myself

Zhuang Zhoucheng held Huo Yan's hand, took a step closer to her, and asked in a low voice:

"Still angry?"

"..."

Huo Yan was slightly startled and shook his head, "I'm not angry."

Zhuang Zhoucheng pulled her into his arms. Huo Yan rested her hand on his chest, buried her head, and muttered:

"So many people are watching..."

Everyone's eyes were on them, he was such a fool.

Zhuang Zhou Cheng laughed out loud, leaned over and kissed her on the top of her head, his warmth overflowing, making others envious.

"We are all family, it won't be a problem." He whispered.

Lift her hand and clasp it tightly:

"Trust me for once, okay?"

"..."

Huo Yan looked at him; his words always made her jump.

"I'll give you the key to open the door of my heart, okay?" Zhuang Zhoucheng asked again in a low voice.

Huo Yan stared at him blankly, not knowing how to answer.

"I'll grill some meat for you, whatever you like, come."

Zhuang Zhoucheng stopped making things difficult for her and immediately pulled Huo Yan to where the brothers had been sitting.

A few people were drinking, and the barbecue was just a form of entertainment to liven up the atmosphere.

Zhuang Zhoucheng pulled Huo Yan to sit down. Seeing their eldest brother so happy, Qin Chen and the others also gathered over, but they kept some distance from the two of them and did not intend to disturb the newlyweds.

Zhuang Zhoucheng was grilling meat for Huo Yan. The two of them were sitting very close to each other, with Zhuang Zhoucheng's body completely sideways towards Huo Yan.

Huo Yan placed his hands lightly on his legs, looking indifferently at the sizzling barbecue.

After Zhuang Zhoucheng failed in the first round of cooking a few pieces of meat, his cooking skills became better and better, and he kept putting pieces of meat on the plate in front of Huo Yan.

"Let it cool down, don't get burned." Zhuang Zhoucheng lowered his voice.

Huo Yan turned to look at him. Zhuang Zhoucheng accepted her gaze and glanced sideways, smiling:

"Won't you wipe my sweat off?"

Huo Yan moved her lips and reached out to gently touch his forehead. Zhuang Zhoucheng rubbed his face directly into her soft palm.

"hinder……"

Huo Yan stepped aside, retracted his hand, turned his gaze to the table, and said softly:

"Confused."

Zhuang Zhoucheng looked at her soft profile, bitterness spreading in his heart. He smiled bitterly and put the burnt meat next to him.

"It's okay. Also, you eat first. Do you want milk tea? Here's what you like." Zhuang Zhoucheng said in a low voice, then looked at her again.

"No, I want orange juice."

Huo Yan stood up, and Zhuang Zhoucheng immediately put down the pliers in his hand and reached out to hold her. Huo Yan turned around and inexplicably met his deep gaze.

"I'll get it, you sit for a while."

Zhuang Zhoucheng stood up as he spoke and pushed her back.

Huo Yan followed Zhuang Zhoucheng's tall figure, watching him pour the orange juice from the container into the cup. She didn't look away until he turned around.

She herself didn't know why, but she just felt bad when she was with him. She always had a feeling of wanting to release, but was also deeply oppressed.

It's not comfortable no matter what.

Zhuang Zhoucheng placed the juice in front of her and said with a smile:

"The juice is here. It's iced, just the way you like it. There's also some chilled fruit that you like. It's very fresh. Do you want me to bring some to you?"

Huo Yan didn't know why, but when she heard him say "what you like", she felt a surge of anger in her heart.

The more he indulges her now, the more he wants to destroy her when he gets angry.

This is a scary madman!

Her condition was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and her nerves couldn't stand it.

Ruan Huixi agreed with one thing: the person she could rely on was not her father, brother or her own family, but Zhuang Zhoucheng!

She wanted to go back to her old self of obeying him and being obedient.

But she couldn't forget those horrifying scenes, and couldn't forget Ji Wuwei's heartbreaking screams!

She didn't dare to sleep too deeply at night now, because she was afraid that he would suddenly remember to settle the score with her and clear her of the matter of eloping with Ji Wuwei.

What will happen to him?

Break her legs?

Seeing that she didn't move, Zhuang Zhoucheng brought the cup to her lips and whispered:

"Take a sip, it's ice cold, I'm not lying to you..."

"Zhuang Zhoucheng!"

Huo Yan was a little angry.

He stretched out his hand and pushed it forward, and the juice immediately spilled all over him. His tailor-made suit would probably be ruined.

"..."

Huo Yan frowned slightly, bit his lip, slowly stood up, and stood aside, his voice lowered:

"Sorry……"

Zhuang Zhoucheng and his brothers, who were close by, all saw it.

Zhuang Qianyao wanted to get up, but was stopped by Qin Chen. Why are you meddling in the affairs of a young couple?

Didn’t you see that the boss looked like he was enjoying it?

"drink wine."

Qin Chen pressed the wine glass into the hands of the banker's son, pretending not to notice what was happening next to him.

The juice on Zhuang Zhoucheng's body dripped down, leaving a yellow stain on his white shirt.

He glanced at Huo Yan, who was so nervous and scared, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, put the wine glass on the table calmly, and lowered his voice.

"The dress is very expensive, Yan'er. What if I don't clean it properly?"

This is their wedding dress. No matter how simple the wedding is, this dress has extraordinary meaning.

Zhuang Zhoucheng raised his eyes and looked at her with a slight smile.

Huo Yan finally didn't run away. Instead, he walked up to him, pulled out a tissue and tried to wipe the juice off his body.

This approach is undoubtedly futile. The water has already been soaked into the material and can only be extracted.

"Take it off and I'll wash it for you. I'm sorry."

It was clearly a voice lacking confidence.

Huo Yan wiped it carefully, not daring to look at his expression.

Zhuang Zhoucheng pulled the person to sit down:

"Let's eat first. You like barbecue, but I don't know what else you like here besides this. Just have a little more, okay?"

"I actually don't like it very much. Zhuang Zhoucheng, please stop doing this. It's not like you at all." Huo Yan sat down and spoke softly while staring at the roasted meat.

She turned to look at him, hesitant to speak, and after thinking for a while, she continued:

"The more you act like this, the more scared I get. I don't know if you'll have another condition for me to agree to. I'm not used to your kindness."

Zhuang Zhoucheng's heart ached.

Just how vicious and cruel was he in her heart that made her so wary?

He just wanted to be nicer to her, change his previous image, and be an ordinary man and an ordinary husband.

But she was so defensive...

It took Zhuang Zhoucheng a long time to calm down and suppress the bitterness and sourness in his heart.

"The marriage is already arranged, how can I ask you to agree to any unreasonable conditions? Don't think too much, okay?"

Zhuang Zhoucheng said this with a self-deprecating laugh. The most cowardly husband in the world turned out to be him, Zhuang Zhoucheng?!

"We haven't gotten married yet, and I know you won't let me go so easily. You all say I'm stupid, foolish, and I'm really not smart. But don't try to coax me or treat me nicely, and you think you can trick me."

Huo Yan spoke calmly, without looking at him again, still staring at the barbecue on the table with a dull look.

"Are you so afraid of marrying me?" Zhuang Zhoucheng felt a pain in his heart and asked in a low voice.

Huo Yan was silent for a long time before he said:

"I'm afraid... of losing myself..."

Zhuang Zhoucheng remained silent for a long time.

Huo Yan stuffed food into his mouth with chopsticks, his head lowered.

Zhuang Zhoucheng stood up, not because he didn't mind the stickiness of the juice on his body, but because he didn't want to change out of his dress immediately.

He felt that the clothes fit him well and made him look very handsome. Although he could not compare with Ji Wuwei's youthful handsomeness, he had his own mature charm.

Zhuang Zhoucheng picked up some fruits for Huo Yan and gave a wry smile to himself.

What’s the point of being mature, steady and charming?

She can't appreciate it, so it's all empty talk.

He sat back with the plate and placed the fruit in front of her.

"Eat some fruit. You'll get tired of eating too much meat. Try some iced fruit. Do you like it?"

"I don't like it!" Huo Yan interrupted immediately and turned to look at him:

"Why can you say so confidently that this is what I like? When you say it like that, I have to question myself. Is this what I like?"

Zhuang Zhoucheng was stunned for a moment and asked:

"What don't you like?"

"I don't like mutton and pork, but you roasted two plates of mutton and two plates of pork for me. I don't like plums, you see..."
