Chapter 124: Sudden Encounter

  At this time, Gao Yang's stomach suddenly growled. Since returning from 1925, he hadn't even had time to eat before rushing off to Africa and has been busy until now, so Gao Yang was really hungry.

  "What can be done?" He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his stomach, a helpless bitter smile appearing on Gao Yang's face.

  He had just lied to Zheng Xiujing that he had already eaten outside. Now, should he eat or continue the lie? Gao Yang felt a bit depressed.

  After some thought, I still couldn't bear the hunger, got up from the sofa and came to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator. A few Korean-style side dishes, a dozen unopened eggs, some seasonal fruits and vegetables, several blocks of frozen tofu, and a few bottles of mango juice and purified water.

  To eat rice and also steam it, the dishes must be freshly made. After a whole day of running around, Gao Yang was completely exhausted and didn't have the energy to cook himself.

  As for Zheng Xiujing, it's better not to expect too much from her performance in the kitchen. Gao Yang is afraid that if she really cooks, he might end up being sent to the hospital after eating.

  Shaking his head, he took out a bottle of purified water, closed the refrigerator, and Gao Yang returned to the living room, reclining on the sofa.

  Not long after, the bathroom door was opened. Zheng Xiujing wore Gao Yang's oversized pajamas and returned to the living room with her wet hair lightly brushed back.

  "Oppa, help me dry my hair." Zheng Xiujing walked up to Gao Yang and said with a slightly coquettish tone.

  "Alright." Putting down the mineral water, he exchanged it for a relaxed expression and got up to get the hair dryer.

  After fixing her hair, Zheng Xiujing got up and went to the bedroom to change clothes. Before closing the door, she smiled lightly through the gap and said to Gao Yang "OPPA, don't peek!"

  "Haha, I'm not that kind of person!" Gao Yang said with a smile on his face.

  "Hmph!" Zheng Xiujing slightly stuck out her tongue and made a fed-up expression before closing the door to change clothes.

  "Ah..." It's okay, it seems that Jeong Soo-young didn't intend to stay overnight after all. Changing clothes was probably to prepare for leaving.

  Gao Yang sat back on the sofa and drank all the purified water in the bottle. First, he would fill his stomach a bit, and after sending Zheng Xiujing back, he would find a place to eat something.

  "Help me prepare a serving of spaghetti and a pizza! Pack them up, I'll come pick them up later." With that thought, Haoyang hastily pulled out his phone and sent a text message to the Western restaurant manager.

  Gao Yang glanced at the origin on his wrist and wondered if it was closed at this time.

  "Yes, boss." The manager's response came quickly. The timing of the text message was just right, as the restaurant staff had already started cleaning up and preparing to close down for the day. The chef hadn't left yet either, and upon receiving the boss's text message, the manager hastily began making preparations.

  The bedroom door was opened and Zheng Xiujing, dressed in a stage costume, walked up to Gao Yang's side with a smile.

  Her hair was tied into two ponytails hanging in front of her shoulders, bright and beautiful big eyes, a clean and small face after removing makeup, a small nose, and slightly raised lips gave Gaoyang a quiet beauty.

  However, Gao Yang understood that although Zheng Xiujing always had a cold expression in front of the camera and strangers, her true personality would be revealed when facing familiar people, showing another side of her that loved to joke around and stick close to those she was intimate with.

  Jung Soo-jung came directly from the TV station to Goyang apartment, still wearing the performance outfit from the recording. A white blouse with a feminine shirt, dark tight jeans, and high-heeled shoes with a simple yet elegant design gave off a fresh and lovely feeling.

  Taking the mango juice handed over by Gao Yang, Zheng Xiujing sat down beside him. "OPPA, I called you back after seeing your call when I finished the announcement, but for some reason it couldn't get through. Worried about you, I came straight to take a look."

  "Yeah, I slept very uncomfortably on the sofa last night. After you left, I fell asleep for a bit and didn't expect to oversleep past lunchtime." Gaoyang said somewhat unnaturally.

  Looking at Zheng Xiujing who was concentrating on drinking juice beside him, he let out a slight sigh and continued to fabricate his story. "After being woken up by hunger, I went out to eat and didn't realize my phone had run out of battery. When I came back, I saw your nanny's car leaving. Luckily you arrived, or else I wouldn't have even been able to get home." The more Gao Yang spoke, the smoother his words became, until it sounded like this was actually what happened.

  "Oh." Zheng Xiujing softly responded and then stopped talking. Gao Yang let out a gentle breath, it seemed he had thought too much, Zheng Xiujing didn't mind at all.

  Soon, Zheng Xiujing finished her juice and gently leaned her head on Gao Yang's shoulder.

  Jung Soo-jung's surname is always liked to lean on when she's with close people. Usually at home with her mom and sister, in the group with Song Qian too. Now she already treats Gao Yang as a very close person, likes to express her own sticky surname like this.

  A faint, refreshing scent wafted in after a bath. Gao Yang gently lowered his head and placed his chin on Zheng Xiujing's hair, slightly closing his eyes, this warm feeling was really great.

  The room fell silent, with only the wall clock ticking away. Gaoyang stretched out his hand and gently wrapped it around Zheng Xiujing's shoulder, slightly closing his eyes to savor the rare warmth of the moment.

  After a while, the warm atmosphere was suddenly broken by a ringing mobile phone. Zheng Xiujing pouted slightly and left Gao Yang's warm embrace. She sat up straight, took out her phone and looked at it, it was her sister's call.

  "How come you're still not home!" Jessica started complaining as soon as I picked up the phone.

  "Oh, I'll be back soon." Zheng Xiujing said with a slightly dissatisfied tone and pouted.

  Perhaps sensing her sister's low mood, Jessica slowed down her tone and said "Don't forget about our appointment this morning."

  "Uh-huh, got it, I'm going home now." Zheng Xiujing furrowed her brow and said somewhat irritably.

  After she hung up her phone, Gao Yang leaned back on the sofa, smiling ambiguously as he asked in a soft voice, "What promise?"

  "It's a promise between girls, don't tell oppa." Zheng Xiujing wrinkled her nose and made a silly face to Gao Yang.

  "Well, it seems like it's related to me after all." Gaoyang said with a hint of narcissism, stroking his chin.

  He stood up and pulled Zheng Xiujing up with his hand. He gently pinched her slightly chubby cheeks and smiled, saying "Alright, I'll send you back now."

  "En." Zheng Xiujing slightly lowered her head and softly replied.

  Gao Yang drove Zheng Xiujing back to her doorstep. Before leaving, Zheng Xiujing wanted to return the house card to Gao Yang, but he refused. "Just keep the things I gave you well."

  "How is oppa going back?" Zheng Xiujing asked with a puzzled face.

  "Little fool, of course we'll go find another card. Alright, hurry up and go home to rest well, your sister must be waiting anxiously already. If you don't go in she'll call again." Gao Yang stretched out his hand to gently stroke her forehead, saying with a gentle smile.

  "Oh." Zheng Xiujing replied softly. However, she didn't go to open the door, but instead gently lifted her head and looked at Gao Yang, with a hint of tears in her eyes.

  Gao Yang was slightly stunned for a moment, then revealed an understanding expression. He gently lowered his head and wrapped his arms around Zheng Xiujing's waist, giving her a tender kiss.

  Jung Soo-jung closed her eyes slightly, stretched out both hands and tightly hugged Gao Yang's waist, with a dazed expression.

  Leaving Zheng Xiujing's house, Gao Yang returned to the BMW, turned on the music, and slightly curled up the corners of his mouth, with a relaxed and happy expression.

  Before meeting her, Gao Yang felt that his current life was unbearable and he didn't even dare to think about it.

  After getting the origin, Gao Yang's life changed dramatically! A huge fortune, a mansion, a yacht, and a private plane!

  Things that were previously dared not to hope for are now all available. Parents don't have to go out to work as temporary workers after retirement, working hard to save money to buy a house for themselves. Now they live happily every day.

  Celebrities who could only be seen on computer screens and imagined in the mind are now their own girlfriends. This is the life of dreams.

  "If all of this is just a dream, then please never wake me up!" Gao Yang muttered to himself as he opened the car window and let the night wind blow in.

  Drive to Pink Rose Western Restaurant, arrived at dawn, the whole restaurant only left the manager personally waiting for Gao Yang in the restaurant. Other staff of the western restaurant have all gone home.

  He took over the exquisitely packaged take-out box from the manager. Looking at the restaurant manager in front of him, who was bowing and smiling with a flattering smile, Gao Yang thought for a moment with a good mood and said with a slight smile, "You're doing a great job, I'm very satisfied."

  "This is what I should do, boss." The manager's eyes lit up and he hastily bowed his head in thanks.

  "Uh, I'll judge whether something is good or bad myself. You've indeed done a great job, tell Jin Yongnan to give you three months' salary as a bonus. This is the reward you deserve." Gao Yang said lightly, raising an eyebrow slightly.

  The restaurant manager with an excited expression hurriedly thanked him profusely, and even after Gao Yang left the restaurant, the manager's body still maintained a bowing posture.

  Hurriedly drove back to the apartment parking lot, Gao Yang turned a corner in his car and prepared to park it in his parking space.

  Suddenly a white cat darted past his car. "Zhi ~" Gao Yang slammed on the brakes and stopped the car.

  "Whoa..." Watching the white cat run away quickly, Gao Yang let out a gentle sigh "Whose......" The thoughts in his mind hadn't even finished turning when he suddenly heard the sound of "Zzt... Bang!" His body shook violently, and the back of his head hit the headrest. Luckily, he had fastened his seatbelt!

  "Ah..." He rubbed his slightly sore neck, and Gao Yang glanced at the rearview mirror. A pink sedan had stuck to his car's tail.

  This car seems a bit familiar, but now is not the time to think about that. Gaoyang turned his head and saw that the take-out box containing spaghetti and pizza on the passenger seat had been knocked over onto the floor of the car, with noodles and pizza scattered all over the place. The strong aroma wafted up, making Gaoyang's already hungry stomach growl uncontrollably at the smell.

  "This is something that people can tolerate, but their stomachs can't!" Gao Yang looked at his dinner with a pained expression, curled up the corners of his mouth, gritted his teeth tightly and unbuckled his seatbelt. He suddenly pushed open the car door, got out and strode towards the back of the car.
