Chapter 255 255: Jing Zhao obediently shouts baby, Qin Xiang confesses himself
Zhou Ziheng didn't return to Xingyue Mansion until after ten o'clock.

The lights in the room were on, and as soon as the door opened, Qin Xiang immediately got up from the sofa: "You're back."

Zhou Ziheng closed the door: "Didn't I tell you not to wait for me?"

"I didn't go to bed that early." Qin Xiang had already washed and wrapped his coat over his pajamas, "Have you eaten?"

"Ah."

Zhou Ziheng put the baseball bat on the porch cabinet.

Qin Xiang couldn't help but glance at the stick: "where did you go to work?" She was worried that he would go out to fight.

"Imperial capital."

Qin Xiang asked, "What kind of work? Is it hard?"

"It's not hard to help people unload the goods."

After he entered the door, he did not enter the living room, but stood at the entrance, looking at her through the lamp, with far-reaching eyes.

He seemed to have something on his mind.

"what happened to you?"

He still looked at her: "Nothing."

"Then I'm going back."

As soon as Qin Xiang stepped out, Zhou Ziheng pulled her: "Sleep with me, don't go back."

She said yes, no matter what he asked, she didn't want to refuse him.

They lay on a bed, covered with a quilt, with a fist's distance between them.Zhou Ziheng usually talks a lot, but tonight he was unusually silent.The lights in the room were turned off, it was pitch black, and no shadow could be seen.

Quiet for a long time.

"Qin Xiang."

Qin Xiang hadn't fallen asleep yet, so he agreed, "Yeah."

Zhou Ziheng suddenly asked without end, "Am I pitiful?"

"Why ask that?"

His voice sounded dejected, like self-loathing: "I've been locked up by the Chen family, I'm very pitiful, right?"

Yes, he is very pitiful. The Chen family doesn't give him his identity, freedom, or any rights as a person. Qin Xiang loves him, feels injustice for him, is angry for him, and feels sad for him.

But she didn't answer, for fear that he would misunderstand that she only sympathized with him.

"Then are you with me because I'm pitiful?" he asked, questioning himself.

It shouldn't be.

He is Zhou Ziheng who grew brutally and violently after being suppressed. He should be Zhou Ziheng who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and dares to compare with heaven.

Qin Xiang denied it quickly, she didn't need to think about this question: "No."

So why?
Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but wonder, was it because he killed Chen Zhili to save her?

In the silent night, Qin Xiang's voice was very soft: "Because I like you."

Zhou Ziheng turned over and faced her: "Say it again."

"I like you."

He was eager to verify: "Who am I?"

Qin Xiang hid herself under the quilt and covered her face, so that she didn't have to be embarrassed. She approached Zhou Ziheng boldly and hugged him with open arms: "Zhou Ziheng, I like you."

Zhou Ziheng buried his head in her neck.

However, the Da Chen family did not have Zhou Ziheng.

*****
Last year, due to the Mingyuexi incident, "Dongquhou" was re-shooted in a different role. The reshoots were all completed last week, and the celebration banquet was arranged on Wednesday this week.

Shang Lingling also received the invitation. Originally, she did not intend to attend, but after hearing from Hu Meijing, Ming Yuexi had caught up with a producer of "Dongqu Hou" and wanted to use that producer to make a comeback, and she would probably attend. Celebration feast.

On Tuesday night, the business leader told Jing Zhao that she was going to the imperial capital for a celebration banquet tomorrow.

"I'll accompany you, but I have work in the afternoon. I'm not sure what time it will end. I may arrive a little later."

Shang Lingling was lying on the sofa with a mask on, his head resting on Jing Zhao's leg: "Did Jiang Cheng send you an invitation letter?"

"I've made it, I'm one of the investors."

The business leader sat up and tore off the mask: "Did you invest? Because of me?"

Jing Zhao has not been involved in the film and television industry before.

"Yeah." He took a piece of paper and wiped off the sticky mask water on Shang Lingling's neck.

In order to make up for the funding gap of director Jiang Cheng, he participated in the investment of this drama.

He didn't say it.

"Do you want to wait for me to go with me tomorrow?" Jing Zhao worried about his old father's heart, worried that Shang Ling would stay alone in a mixed circle.

She didn't even think about it, but refused: "No, I want to go first."

She wants to see Ming Yuexi first.

Jing Zhao frowned and said nothing.After he finished washing, he went back to the room, walked into the cage, closed the lock, and lay down on the quilt.

"Leader."

"Ok?"

Shang Lingling was still lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone.

When Jing Zhao was just taking a shower, he had been thinking about one thing—he just proposed to wait for him to go to the celebration banquet tomorrow, why did the business leader refuse.

Obviously she used to rely on him very much.

He took a book from the bedside, held it in his hand, and didn't read it: "Have you been with me for a long time, will you get tired of it?"

The business leader turned back on his stomach: "Huh?"

He looked at a page of the book: "Have you been tired of being with me for a long time?"

It wasn't like a question he could ask.

The business leader couldn't hold back his smile: "Why do you ask that?"

Jing Zhao pondered for a while and analyzed himself: "I'm a boring person."

Many people have said so.

Shang Lingling snorted deliberately: "So you know that you are a boring person."

"Business Leader—"

Shang Lingling rested a plush toy in one hand and rested his chin on his palm: "Call it baby."

She can talk with her eyes, and her eyes wander, as if saying: If you don't listen to me, I will think you are boring.

Jing Zhao closed the book, unable to read a single word. He looked at Shang Lingling with a very serious expression: "Baby, stop playing with your phone."

Her ears are numb.

She retracted her previous thoughts, Jing Zhao's voice is not very suitable for ASMR, the bass is too attractive, she does not want to sleep, but wants to be pretentious.

While she was distracted, Jing Zhao leaned over and confiscated her phone: "It's not good for your eyes."
