Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Xu Jinzhi Belongs to Him

Chapter 72 -72 Xu Jinzhi Belongs to Him

Watching their expressions, Xu Jinzhi was speechless. She had known they would certainly not remember that today was Xie Yanchuan’s birthday. Mentioning it now was simply to deliberately set them off!

“Mom and Dad, if there’s nothing else, Jinzhi and I will leave first.” Xie Yanchuan also stood up, his tone indifferent, no different from usual.

It was precisely because there was no difference that it truly made Xie Suian and He Shuying feel uncomfortable.

Especially He Shuying, when looking at Xie Yanchuan, she actually felt a fleeting sourness at the tip of her nose and a warm sensation around her eyes.

The living room fell silent again. It was Xie Suian who regained his composure first, hesitantly saying, “How about we eat at home today?”

Xie Yanchuan shook his head, feeling his heart throb uncontrollably at the thought, and he replied quietly to Xie Suian, “Jinzhi already made reservations at a restaurant in advance.”

Moreover, today wasn’t just his birthday. It was also their wedding anniversary.

He wanted to be with Xu Jinzhi, not waste time on some unnecessary people.

Xie Suian wanted to say something more, but before he could even start, He Shuying was already smilingly saying, “Go on, go on.”

After speaking, He Shuying glared at Xie Suian, “It’s all your fault! The young couple are having a nice anniversary, and you just have to make a fuss!”

Xie Suian had no chance to voice his struggles, and He Shuying didn’t intend to pay him any mind, turning to Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan, she said, “Have fun, okay?”

Xu Jinzhi raised her eyebrows slightly, her peripheral vision catching a glimpse of Xie Yanchuan, who indeed seemed a bit uncomfortable.

But in the end, Xie Yanchuan just nodded and then, taking Xu Jinzhi’s hand, walked out of the villa without a pause in his step.

After they left the villa and drove away, He Shuying picked up a cushion from the sofa and fiercely hit Xie Suian with it.

“What are you doing!” Xie Suian rebuked in a low voice. Xie Linchuan and Liang Shiyu were still there; how embarrassing for him?

But He Shuying didn’t care about that, standing up, she said angrily, “I don’t care about what happens outside! But if you bully Yanchuan, I won’t let it go!”

From the beginning, He Shuying was unwilling, but even as angry as she was, she didn’t go to great lengths to stop it, thinking as long as she didn’t support Xie Linchuan, it was fine.

But just now, upon learning that today was Xie Yanchuan’s birthday and seeing his indifferent expression, she knew that Xie Yanchuan had no expectations from them at all!

After He Shuying angrily threatened, looking at Xie Suian with a gloomy face, she mocked him with a laugh, “But now, you can’t bully Yanchuan anymore. We don’t care about Yanchuan’s feelings, naturally, someone else will.”

The person He Shuying was referring to was, of course, Xu Jinzhi. She was a woman too, and she knew what it was like when someone truly cared about another person.

“I…”

Xie Suian wanted to defend himself, but before he could speak, He Shuying had already turned and left, not wanting to get involved in the affairs between Xie Linchuan and Liang Shiyu at all!

Seeing that He Shuying had left too, Xie Suian turned to look at Xie Linchuan and then at Liang Shiyu sitting beside him, his frustration not dissipating at all.

“I don’t care anymore, it’s up to you to deal with it. If someone’s going to lose face, it’ll be your own loss!” Xie Suian left the living room with those words.

Soon, only Xie Linchuan and Liang Shiyu were left in the living room, with even the servants staying far away, fearing the low pressure from that side would affect them.

“Linchuan, what should we do now?” Liang Shiyu looked up at Xie Linchuan, her eyes reddened, tears welling up, and with just a blink, they would surely spill over.

Xie Linchuan didn’t know what to do either, but looking at Liang Shiyu in front of him, he couldn’t help but comfort her softly, “It’s alright, don’t worry.”

“Then let’s just forget it,” said Liang Shiyu.

Xie Linchuan looked at Liang Shiyu without saying a word.

Tears slid from Liang Shiyu’s eyes, and she quickly lowered her head, whispering in a tiny voice, “Let it be like this.”

Xie Linchuan watched Liang Shiyu, his hand at his side moving unconsciously.

…

Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan left the Xie Family, but they had only exchanged a few words during their brief visit, which lasted only about ten minutes from the time they entered to the time they left.

Considering it was still early, Xie Yanchuan turned to Xu Jinzhi and asked, “Where shall we go now?”

It wasn’t even four o’clock yet, too early to head to a restaurant.

“The timing is about right. There’s a mall next to the restaurant; we could hang around there,” Xu Jinzhi suggested to Xie Yanchuan with a smile lighting up her face.

Xie Yanchuan, puzzled by her beaming smile, couldn’t help but ask, “What’s with you?”

Xu Jinzhi simply leaned her hand on the center console storage box, looking back at Xie Yanchuan with twinkling eyes, “I like you, so I just want to take a few more glances at you.”

Xu Jinzhi truly hadn’t expected Xie Yanchuan to reject so directly today.

With a personality like that of Xie Yanchuan’s, he was expected to agree, and this was not just her assumption; the Xie Family thought so too.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yanchuan still refused, without any hesitation, leaving no room for negotiation.

Xie Yanchuan only glanced at Xu Jinzhi and quickly looked away, thinking that he wasn’t too embarrassed to look at her but that he had to concentrate on driving.

Several seconds passed before Xie Yanchuan explained, “This wedding is not just about me.”

This wedding was not just his, not solely his affair; he could never agree to Xie Linchuan, especially knowing deep down how much Xu Jinzhi cared about this wedding.

None of the Xie Family’s possessions belonged to him, so Xie Yanchuan could have chosen to ignore it in the past.

But Xu Jinzhi belonged to him!

He couldn’t disregard that!

Xie Yanchuan spoke very subtly, as if he hadn’t said anything at all, yet Xu Jinzhi understood exactly what he meant.

Knowing that Xie Yanchuan cared about her, Xu Jinzhi felt truly happy.

However, Xu Jinzhi’s joy didn’t last long before her phone started to ring.

Pulling out her phone, she saw it was a call from her father. Raising her eyebrows slightly and unable to suppress a small smile, she didn’t hesitate to answer the call.

“Xu Jinzhi! Weren’t you on a business trip?”

“When did you come back? And how dare you go and register for marriage without permission!”

Xu Zhen’s roaring voice transmitted through the phone, even Xie Yanchuan beside her could hear it.

Xie Yanchuan glanced at Xu Jinzhi subconsciously, seeing that she still wore a smile on her face. He too, tried to remain calm, pretending to be oblivious as he continued driving in silence.

How could Xu Jinzhi not notice? She smiled faintly and began speaking to Xu Zhen.
