Chapter 1128: Chapter 1128
“No, no, I haven’t done anything to betray you. Don’t cry, I’ll take you to see the living room now.”
Zhang Yang had no choice but to pray in his heart that Xu Mengyan wasn’t in the living room and had gone elsewhere.
As Zhang Yang opened the bedroom door, ready to head out, Zhao Xiaotang got off from Zhang Yang. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NoveIＦire.net
Zhao Xiaotang let out a sigh of relief, now it was up to Zhang Yang and Xu Mengyan; she was safe for now.
She truly experienced the feeling of an affair—so tense and exciting—but the crucial point was, she and Zhang Yang hadn’t even started yet, and they almost got caught in bed.
This really isn’t going well, what is this? Perhaps she and Zhang Yang shouldn’t continue after all.
It’s indeed a bit unlucky, but who can blame the real girlfriend for checking in?
Zhao Xiaotang sneakily glanced outside, and when she saw Xu Mengyan lying on the sofa playing games, oblivious, Zhao Xiaotang genuinely felt a pang of worry for both Xu Mengyan and Zhang Yang.
At this moment, Zhang Yang also spotted Xu Mengyan, and so did Xiao Man.
Fortunately, Xu Mengyan was wearing normal clothes.
Moreover, she was deeply absorbed in gaming, seeming completely unaware.
Zhang Yang plucked up the courage and walked over, constantly thinking about how to introduce Xu Mengyan.
“Uh, Xiao Man, let me introduce you, this is Sister Xu, she’s Aunt Yun’s old client.” Zhang Yang said bravely.
Hearing the words “Xiao Man,” Xu Mengyan suddenly trembled, almost dropping her phone.
Thankfully, she had strong mental resilience and nonchalantly looked up at Zhang Yang, or rather, at Zhang Yang’s phone.
“What’s up, having a video call with your girlfriend? Am I not being convenient here then?”
Xu Mengyan gracefully greeted the phone, “Hello, Xiao Man. I’ve heard of you being Zhang Yang’s girlfriend, Aunt Yun often praises your good relationship.”
Xiao Man was a bit baffled, but since both Zhang Yang and Xu Mengyan mentioned Aunt Yun, there probably wouldn’t be any major issues.
Never would Xiao Man have guessed, Aunt Yun had long been captivated by Zhang Yang.
At this point, everyone’s heartbeat was racing, but thankfully Xu Mengyan remained composed in a crisis, not avoiding but actively taking Zhang Yang’s phone to chat with Xiao Man.
“Don’t worry, Xiao Man, we’ll definitely keep an eye on your little boyfriend; he belongs only to you.”
This sentence was a double entendre; not exactly deceitful, but somewhat ambiguous.
Xiao Man was spoken to, feeling a bit embarrassed. In Xu Mengyan’s words, she was there to take Zhang Yang to the Starlight Award venue.
Only then did Xiao Man realize Xu Mengyan was one of the organizers, feeling respect instantly.
And when Xu Mengyan learned Xiao Man was also attending the Starlight Award, she was equally shocked. If they bumped into each other, it’d indeed be a bit awkward and embarrassing.
Yet this reminded Xu Mengyan to behave these days, definitely not letting Xiao Man find out Zhang Yang was fooling around outside.
These women weren’t afraid of Xiao Man alone, but feared her, the legitimate girlfriend, would make Zhang Yang abandon all of them.
If that time came, these women would likely truly be at their wits’ end.
So now even Xia Xue and Chen Yun both dreaded facing Xiao Man.
Firstly it’s embarrassing, secondly there’s nothing to say, and thirdly there’s the fear of a complete fallout, parting ways with Zhang Yang forever.
Xu Mengyan handed the phone back to Zhang Yang, then said, “You and your girlfriend head to the bedroom to chat; I’ll stay here and play games. We’ve got time, we’ll head out in half an hour.”
Xu Mengyan spoke convincingly, and Xiao Man believed her even more.
Zhang Yang let out a long sigh of relief and secretly gave Xu Mengyan a thumbs-up; her response was impressively swift.
Plus, considering Xu Mengyan was pregnant, Xiao Man would never expect the child was Zhang Yang’s.
Thus she didn’t suspect anything further, sparing Zhang Yang from more probing questions.
“Sorry, I got a bit emotional; I thought during the time I wasn’t around, you didn’t love me anymore and wanted to abandon me.” Xiao Man’s emotions were quite volatile but settled down now.
Zhang Yang hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Xiao Man, no matter what, I will never abandon you.”
“Since they’ve brought you to the Starlight Award, maybe this time I’ll have the chance to rescue you, and after we’re reunited, we can discuss marriage.”
“You rascal, who wants to marry you? Have you saved enough money yet? We haven’t even bought a house.”
“And oh, I’ve lost my job now; I’m detained by them every day. Though I don’t worry about food and drink, there’s no salary income, so we’re relying solely on you.”
Xiao Man was still worrying about the future for her and Zhang Yang, unsure of how Zhang Yang could tell her he was now a billionaire, with wealth beyond usage in a lifetime.
Better not mention it for now, otherwise Xiao Man might be incredulous and worried again.
“Zhang Yang hasn’t spoken to you, those people asked me to prepare, though I’m not sure for what.”
“But if you could also attend the Starlight Award, we might meet.”
After saying this, Xiao Man reluctantly said goodbye to Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang hung up the phone, falling into deep thought.
Why was Xiao Man brought here? What are Qingyi Sect Leader’s intentions?
Having come, why hasn’t there been contact; is it not intended to use Xiao Man to threaten him for something?
Qingyi Sect’s target should still be Jin Tuantuan.
This has always been the case; Qingyi Sect wants to use him as a breakthrough to help them acquire something significant from Jin Tuantuan.
It’s not just Qingyi Sect’s target; this is also the goal of others.
Even involving H Country, Xu Family suddenly acted against him for this reason then.
As Zhang Yang fell into thought, Xu Mengyan wiped away the sweat on her face.
God knows how nervous she was just now; even when negotiating billion-dollar deals, she wasn’t this tense.
Watching Zhang Yang stand motionless, contemplating something, Xu Mengyan could roughly guess, he was worried about Xiao Man.
Thus, Xu Mengyan approached, sat beside Zhang Yang, held his hand and comforted him, “Don’t worry, Xiao Man is definitely safe; otherwise she wouldn’t have called you. Since their goals are clear now, they won’t halt their actions abruptly.”
“If there’s true concern, you should be worried about yourself; they’re surely targeting you, Xiao Man is still their means to sway you.”
“So this Starlight Award is surely not as simple as it appears; are you mentally prepared?”
