Chapter 324: Chapter 322 Lick Dog, Lick Dog, Licking Until There’s Nothing Left

Xia Wenqing’s cool voice carried over; though not loud, his tone was inexplicably cold.

Xu Zhenzhen had never heard Xia Wenqing speak in such a tone, and was immediately frightened.

Her mouth fell open, and she quickly explained, "I... we were just taking photos."

The man was obviously intimidated by Xia Wenqing’s presence, nodding along, "Yes, yes, yes, this lady’s evening gown is just so beautiful, I thought my partner might like it too, so I asked the lady to help take a photo."

"A photo for your partner?" Xia Wenqing seemed to have seized upon the key point.

Xu Zhenzhen and the man were both puzzled but nodded their heads in unison.

Almost instantly, the coldness on Xia Wenqing’s face melted away completely.

He coughed lightly, "The evening gowns here are indeed beautiful, you can pick a few more for your girlfriend."

"Uh..." The man was bewildered by Xia Wenqing’s sudden change of demeanor.

However, seeing his mild expression, he naturally did not say much more.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they parted ways.

Xu Zhenzhen followed Xia Wenqing, walking back with him.

Had she just heard Xia Wenqing sound unhappy? Had something happened?

He usually seemed to be gentle, a man whose joy and anger were not worn on his sleeve.

Could it be something to do with Lu Zhaozhao that had made him so upset?

Xu Zhenzhen’s brows furrowed, and she became worried as well.

Suddenly, Xia Wenqing stopped in his tracks, turned back, and said indifferently to Xu Zhenzhen, "Why did you come out just now? Didn’t I ask you to wait obediently inside?"

Xu Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head somewhat sheepishly, "I... I wanted you to have a look at this evening gown for me..."

She wanted him to be the first to see her.

To show him her best side.

But how could she put that into words?

"It looks very nice, and it suits you well," Xia Wenqing’s voice suddenly came from above her.

It was then that Xu Zhenzhen realized how close they were.

So close that she could clearly see the man’s attractive eyelashes and the slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.

Xu Zhenzhen’s heart suddenly started "thumping" wildly.

She instinctively took a step back, afraid that the sound of her heartbeat might be heard by Xia Wenqing.

She could see him every day now, and their relationship had even become much closer than before because of Lu Zhaozhao.

That was enough.

Initially, Xia Wenqing was pleased to hear Xu Zhenzhen say she had changed into the evening gown for him to see, but when he saw her step back, his eyebrows instantly furrowed.

Was he being too eager?

Xia Wenqing clenched his fist, lowering his gaze, "Let’s continue looking then."

With that, he turned and walked away.

Watching the direction Xia Wenqing had left, Xu Zhenzhen secretly sighed with relief.

Thank goodness, thank goodness she hadn’t been discovered!

It seemed that in the future, she would have to be more careful...

A week later, the collaboration dinner party between XJ Group and Song Group began with a bang.

There were many prominent business figures from the Shangjing Circle as well as several partners who had good relationships with the Song Group.

Since many big shots attended this collaboration dinner, many people were eager to get in.

When the media reporters heard the news, they followed suit and came to the dinner.

XJ Group and Song Group could be considered multinational cooperation, and with such fanfare, it was hard not to let people speculate.

After all, XJ Group ranked among the top firms overseas, and though they faced none of the resistance that smaller businesses might when entering the domestic market, conflicts with local industries were still inevitable to some degree.

Yet, the relations between XJ Group and Song Group seemed particularly harmonious, which made people even more curious.

Everyone wanted to know if there were any secrets between them that weren’t publicly known.

Song Sinian was a major figure at this collaborative dinner event, and thus he couldn’t find the time to accompany Lu Zhaozhao.

To prevent her from being bullied, Song Sinian had specifically arranged for Xu Zhenzhen to join her.

"Zhaozhao, my darling, you’ve finally returned to my arms," Xu Zhenzhen couldn’t help but hug Lu Zhaozhao as soon as she saw her.

She had thought that working for Song Sinian’s company would allow her to see Lu Zhaozhao frequently, but she never imagined that Song Sinian would be so ruthless even towards his own self.

His wife was invisible during work!

And she saw even less of her.

Lu Zhaozhao looked at Xu Zhenzhen’s small face and couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, reaching out to pinch her little hand, "So you’ve got time to love me again?"

Xu Zhenzhen knew what Lu Zhaozhao was going to say.

Her small face blushed and she turned her head, gently patting Lu Zhaozhao’s back with her hand, "Not at all, you’re overthinking it..."

Seeing Xu Zhenzhen’s rarely coy demeanor, Lu Zhaozhao knew that the matter was almost certainly set.

She just didn’t know how far along the two of them were.

Lu Zhaozhao wasn’t the type to pry into other people’s privacy; perhaps Xu Zhenzhen didn’t want to talk about it because she felt it wasn’t suitable yet.

Or perhaps they hadn’t made things official.

Regardless, she supported Xu Zhenzhen, just as she had stood by her side without a second thought all those years ago.

As Lu Zhaozhao thought this, she directly hooked her arm through Xu Zhenzhen’s and said, "No matter whether you have other dogs in the future or not, you will always be my most, most important friend. Remember that, do you understand? If one day you really run into trouble, I hope you remember I’m a sister you can rely on."

Just like you told me in your previous life.

Xu Zhenzhen’s eyes suddenly reddened upon hearing this.

Looking at Lu Zhaozhao’s overly serious gaze, she felt somewhat guilty.

Her initial interaction with Lu Zhaozhao was due to work.

Even though she now considered Lu Zhaozhao her most important friend, her initial approach had indeed been impure.

So the nicer Lu Zhaozhao was to her, the more guilty she felt.

Xu Zhenzhen had thought about coming clean to Lu Zhaozhao, but she was also worried about harming Song Sinian.

Although she wasn’t particularly fond of Song Sinian, she couldn’t ignore how genuinely good he was to Lu Zhaozhao.

And Lu Zhaozhao loved Song Sinian to death.

Doing so would, without a doubt, add friction to their relationship.

Xu Zhenzhen sighed helplessly and hugged Lu Zhaozhao’s arm, "In my last life, I must have saved the Galaxy; that’s why I have a best friend like you in this life."

"..."

Although she didn’t save the Galaxy, saving her was indeed true.

Just as Lu Zhaozhao was about to say something, a mocking voice suddenly came from behind.

"If saving the Galaxy in a previous life means becoming best friends with this kind of person, it really wants to make me die laughing."

Xu Zhenzhen and Lu Zhaozhao turned around at the same time, only then noticing Xia Wenjin and Mr. and Mrs. Lu standing not far away.

Lu Zhaozhao was somewhat surprised to see this family of three; she hadn’t expected them to appear here at the same time.

Wasn’t Xia Wenjin avoiding Mr. and Mrs. Lu just a week ago?

Had they reconciled?

Seeing that the pair didn’t utter a word, Xia Wenjin mocked further, "Xu Zhenzhen, do you know about licking dogs? The more you lick, the more you end up with nothing."
