Chapter 225 Proposal
Chapter 225 Proposal
As soon as Zhou Yian entered the company in the morning, several colleagues who were walking towards him greeted him one after another.
This surprised Zhou Yian. These people were not from her department. Although they were colleagues, they had no connection at all. She politely said "Good morning."
They smiled at Zhou Yian, and after passing by him, Zhou Yian could still hear them whispering about him behind him.
A colleague whispered, "Are you sure it's her?"
"It's her. It's so obvious. The photo is so clear."
"I think so too."
"My God, she's hiding it too well. She's hooked up with such a rich man and even came to work in our company."
Several people were talking back and forth. Although their voices were low, Zhou Yian heard every word without missing a word. She was a little confused. Photos? What photos?
Zhou Yian turned around and called out to them, "Wait a minute, are you talking about me? What photos are you talking about?"
Perhaps they hadn't expected Zhou Yian to get so close and open up like that, so they all looked a little uncomfortable. They smiled and asked, "You really didn't know? It's all over the internet, and we thought you knew."
"Online? What's circulating online?"
One of the colleagues was so considerate that he took out his phone and opened a page. "Here, this."
On the high-definition screen, a photo of her and Xu Zehao walking hand in hand came into view.
Zhou Yian took her phone and swiped it left and right to look at it. There were some secretly taken photos. Although they were a bit blurry, people who were familiar with the two people could still tell at a glance that they were Xu Zehao and Zhou Yian.
What is more eye-catching than the photo is the title, which is written in large black fonts that are deliberately enlarged: "The rich president has fallen in love with another woman, where will the young lady of the Qin family go?"
The entire report was about the past deeds of Xu Zehao and the eldest daughter of the Qin family, as well as the relationship between Xu Zehao and the newly photographed Zhou Yian. Throughout the report, it was nothing more than insinuations that Xu Zehao was fickle and was juggling between two beautiful women.
Moreover, this article is intentionally trying to lead Zhou Yian to a third party.
"Thank you." Zhou Yian didn't look at it carefully. He just glanced at the content, handed the phone back to the other party and turned to leave.
She was not overly worried about such news, but she was afraid of the impact on Xu Zehao.
After arriving at the office, she searched the Internet for the entertainment report and sent the link to Xu Zehao.
[Xu Zehao, did you see this? ]
As soon as the message was sent, Xu Zehao replied immediately, "Now I see it, it's just nonsense written by unscrupulous media, don't take it seriously."
[If you care, I will hold a press conference tomorrow and announce to the world that you are my girlfriend.]
Zhou Yian looked at Xu Zehao's reply with a smile, "No need, I'm just worried about the impact it might have on you."
【I'll pick you up after get off work.】
【it is good. 】
After talking with Xu Zehao, Zhou Yian calmed down and didn't take the matter to heart. As long as he was around, Zhou Yian would feel inexplicably at peace.
It was a midsummer evening, the setting sun was blood-red, it was rush hour, and the streets and alleys were bustling with people.
As Zhou Yian stepped out of the company gate, his sight was attracted by a dazzling red.
It was a red convertible sports car. In addition to a handsome man with outstanding temperament sitting in the sports car, there was also a huge bouquet of red roses. Luxury cars and flowers, any one of them appearing under such a rigorous office building is enough to make people imagine, let alone this king bomb combination.
Many people slowed down and looked at her out of the corner of their eyes, while others stopped and stood aside waiting for the heroine to appear.
"Xu Zehao..." Zhou Yian was stunned.
As soon as he saw Zhou Yian coming out, Xu Zehao opened the car door, took a long step, got out of the car, and walked towards Zhou Yian. Many people couldn't help but exclaimed: "My God, so tall, so handsome."
Seeing him coming, Zhou Yian was so anxious that she covered her face with her hands and quickly turned to the other side. This way of expressing love was too high-profile. She was always quiet and low-key, so her first reaction was to run away.
Xu Zehao watched her run away in confusion, and subconsciously chased after her, "An An, where are you going?"
Zhou Yian didn't respond. He lowered his head and hurried home. Soon Xu Zehao caught up with him.
"An An, what are you doing?"
"Oh, Xu Zehao, it's you. I... I didn't see you just now." Zhou Yian felt guilty and just lied with his eyes open.
Xu Zehao looked at her calmly, with a slight smile on his lips. "Really? You didn't see me? You ran over here because you saw me, right?"
Seeing his intentions exposed, Zhou Yian simply stopped pretending, "No, Xu Zehao, whether you did it on purpose or not, do you know how conspicuous you are?"
"What? You don't like it? I'm just worried that those messy reports on the Internet will cause others to misunderstand you. An An, I'm sorry, don't be angry with me."
"Well, I'm not really mad at you. I just think this is too ostentatious. I really don't need you to do these things for me to shut others up."
"I understand what you mean. I'll drive to the previous intersection and wait for you."
Zhou Yian nodded, Xu Zehao turned around and went back to where he parked the car, then drove the car to the intersection where he had agreed to meet Zhou Yian.
"Xu Zehao, you are afraid that I will be unhappy after seeing that report this morning, so you are doing all this to comfort me, right?" Zhou Yian thought that it was indeed a bit too much for him to abandon him just now. After all, he also wanted to make him happy.
Xu Zehao reached out and patted the back of her hand to comfort her. "An An, don't think too much. I meant well but ended up doing something bad. Let's go out for dinner together later. I know a place that makes great steaks."
"Okay."
Soon the two arrived at the restaurant. In order to enjoy a quiet world for two, Xu Zehao specially booked a large private room.
"Xu Zehao, why does this room feel weird? Are you sure there's nothing wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
"Well, it doesn't look like a meal. With so many balloons and streamers, it looks more like a proposal scene."
"I'm not mistaken. Maybe all the private rooms are like this. Or maybe this is where the last guest proposed, and they haven't had time to clean it up yet."
"Yeah, never mind, I'm a little hungry."
"Me too. Let's order first." Xu Zehao looked through the menu, ordered two signature steak Wellingtons, and then ordered a bottle of expensive red wine.
Soon, two waiters in suits came towards them pushing a food cart.
"Hello, ma'am. Your meal is ready. Please enjoy." After the waiter said this, he lifted the metal cover on the dining cart. What came into view was not a steak, but an exquisite cake.
Zhou Yian was puzzled. "Hello, did you send the wrong thing? We didn't order any cake."
The waiter politely replied: "Hello, ma'am, we didn't send the wrong order. This was specially ordered for you by Mr. Xu."
After saying this, the waiter tactfully left the box.
Zhou Yian looked at Xu Zehao in confusion, "Did you just order the cake? Aren't we here for steak?"
Xu Zehao didn't say anything, but stood up and walked to Zhou Yian, taking out an exquisite small ring box from his arms.
"Xu Zehao, what are you doing?" Zhou Yian, who was kept in the dark, looked at Xu Zehao in confusion.
The next second, Xu Zehao was already kneeling on one knee. He placed the ring on his hands, and looked at Zhou Yian with loving eyes, "An'an, will you marry me?"
