Dressed as cannon fodder, I went crazy, and the villain pampered me until I was numb.

Chapter 44 - It turns out they are on the same front
The next day, Xia Kou finished filming the scene early, sent Qiao Wen away, and went to the meeting alone.

She arrived at the restaurant in time, but she never thought that Su Zhan was already waiting at the door of the restaurant in advance.

He is wearing a white suit, with a tall and burly figure and neat black short hair. He is dignified and solemn but also a bit approachable.

"Mr. Su." Xia Kou greeted him. They were about to enter the restaurant together when the receptionist at the door recognized Xia Kou.

"Miss Xia is here, do you need a private room?"

Su Zhan glanced at Xia Kou in confusion.

She generously asked for a private room and walked in with Su Zhan.

"Ms. Xia made a reservation in advance? It's difficult to make a reservation at this restaurant." He was a little surprised.

"Maybe it's because I'm a frequent visitor to this restaurant." She took a sip of the tea handed by the waiter and laughed.

He nodded and was about to speak following the topic.

"Actually, I'm looking for Miss Su today..."

"Actually, I just have something to think about today..."

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

Xia Kou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mr. Su, let's talk first."

Su Zhan didn't refuse. He kept the story short and got to the point, "I asked Miss Xia to come out alone today because of the engagement."

She drank tea by herself and looked at him without speaking.

"Does Miss Xia like me?"

Xia Kou almost squirted the tea in his face, "Ahem, cough, cough... Su Zhan, stop joking..."

Does she like him?Does she want her life?

Xia Kou's attitude made the man who was still a little nervous instantly relaxed, "Since Miss Xia doesn't like it, everything will be easy to handle."

"To be honest, Miss Xia, I have been in love with your sister for a long time, but my unexplained engagement with the Xia family made me worried, so I invited you to come out and talk."

Su Zhan's serious look made her laugh a little.

"Just for this?"

She had been worried all night in vain, and that was it?
It turns out that from beginning to end, the male protagonist of the original book and himself were on the same side!
She thought it would be so difficult~
"So what does Miss Su mean?" Su Zhan looked at the girl in front of him with confusion, covering her mouth and laughing.

Is it true that Xia Kou has a mental problem as the rumors say?
Xia Kou said as if she had received an amnesty: "Oh, actually, this is what I want to tell you! The baby marriage that the Xia family and the Su family decided on was supposed to be between you and your sister. I hope it won't cause some unnecessary misunderstandings, and I hope Mr. Su can win my sister’s heart in the end and create a good story~"

After Xia Kou said this, the atmosphere in the box, which was originally so embarrassing that it was so awkward that people were picking their feet, obviously became more lively quickly.

"Don't worry, sister. When I have some free time, I will definitely visit Mr. Xia personally and explain this matter clearly so that I can get engaged to Xia Xiao as soon as possible."

"got engaged?"

Xia Kou recalled that in the original book, the male protagonist got engaged for the first time after he, the female protagonist and Su Yunzhi participated in a variety show.

In the variety show, Su Yunzhi and the original body framed the heroine several times. Su Yunzhi even deliberately sprained her foot to frame the original body. As a result, the Su family's impression of the heroine became worse and worse. In the end, Mr. Su stepped in to stop the male and female protagonist. First engagement.

Not to mention the failure of the engagement, the relationship between the male and female protagonists was also reversed because of Su Yunzhi's relationship, which almost gave her an opportunity to take advantage of.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously stopped: "No, we can't get engaged so early. Everything needs to be considered in the long run. Brother-in-law-to-be, can you trust me?"

This call of "quasi-brother-in-law" really touched Su Zhan's heart.He nodded immediately, "Believe it, of course I can."

"Don't worry, I will take care of pursuing my sister." She smiled and raised her tea cup, clinking it with him.

Su Zhan didn't expect that his meal would go so smoothly. Not only did he remove the obstacle, but he also gained a wingman.

"I have been abroad for so many years, and you know Xiaoxiao better than I do. From now on, I will have to rely on my sister for advice in everything!"

After the two clinked glasses happily, Xia Kou began to make insinuations: "Brother-in-law-to-be, have you ever asked Su Yunzhi about his attitude toward your marriage?"

"Yunzhi?" Su Zhan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "You misunderstood, Yunzhi is just my sister."

"You treat her as a sister, but she may not really treat you as a brother~" Xia Kou secretly reminded her, but it was difficult to say it clearly, for fear that some people would think she was inciting conflicts between the brothers and sisters of the Su family.

But Su Zhan is a sensible person, and he usually treats Su Yunzhi very appropriately, but men are men after all, and they are not as careful as women, and they often ignore many of the little thoughts between women.

Especially someone like Su Yunzhi who has more food than she has in her life.

He understood Xia Kou's warning, and the bright and brisk smile on his face paused for a moment, "I will definitely pay attention, but right now, I have a more important thing to ask you."

"what?"

"Xiaoxiao's birthday is coming soon. She and I have been separated for too long and have become estranged. I hope you can help me, sister, to find out about your sister's preferences..."

"This matter is absolutely no problem, just leave it to me~" Seeing that Su Zhan is also a cheerful person, Xia Kou immediately agreed, "My sister is cold-faced and hot-hearted. Brother-in-law, you dare to pursue me! Sister, I will always look after you. Whatever!"

"Don't worry, sister, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me at any time, and I will do my best to help you!"

In the private room that followed, relaxed and happy laughter frequently came from the room. The two of them were like brothers and sisters who had just met each other late, and they talked a lot around Xia Xiao.

When the hotel manager walked out of Shang Qi's box, he heard the waiter gossiping that Miss Xia was also eating in the restaurant with a man today.

When the manager stepped forward and scolded him for a few words, the box behind him, who was still talking about business in a few words, fell into dead silence for an instant.

The manager knew something was going to happen.

After the meal, Xia Kou planned to go back to the set directly. When she walked to the door of the restaurant, she realized that dark clouds were gathering, the whole sky was gloomy, and there were signs of heavy rain.

"Look, it looks like it's going to rain today. Let me see you off." Fortunately, Su Zhan checked the weather forecast before going out and brought an umbrella in advance.

The black umbrella is open, more than enough to accommodate two people.

Xia Kou was about to hold an umbrella and leave with Su Zhan, but the hand hanging on her waist suddenly touched the cold and was pulled by another hand.

Suddenly looking back, I could see those cold and beautiful fox eyes.

"Mr. Shang? Are you here too?"

When Su Zhan heard the sound, he turned around and saw a man with an aura as strong as a torrential downpour, standing there silently.

Su Zhan's first instinct, having been in the army for many years, was that the man in front of him was very dangerous and terrifying.

"I'll give it to you." The man curled his lips and spoke softly, his hoarse voice filled with a mysterious and mysterious tone.

Shang Qi stretched out his hand to hold her, and was about to walk to the entrance on the left when Xia Kou's other hand was pulled by Su Zhan.

"Don't bother Mr. Shang, I'll just send Miss Xia off."

Hearing the sound, the man's half-curved lips froze.
