Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 99 Publicly Announcing the Relationship (Part Two)
Zheng Zhixi, who was washing up, was furious when she saw the trending topics on her phone.

I just let her know last night and she's already trending on social media today.

The rejection is quite obvious.

But she didn't want to just accept her fate!
She didn't know who that woman was, but she was confident that no one could possibly be better than her.

Zheng Zhi, downstairs, sat at the dining table with a cup of coffee, thinking about checking today's news.

Lu Zhiyan's relationship was blatantly displayed on the trending searches.

His heart skipped a beat; Secretary Li had cancelled last night's banquet.

He figured Lu Zhiyan was busy with work, so he could postpone it; there was no rush.

Even though their relationship being exposed doesn't guarantee they'll stay together, he still felt uneasy.

After logging out of Weibo, Zheng Zhi called Zheng Wen.

The call was quickly connected, and Zheng Wen's lazy voice came through.

"Brother, what's up calling so early in the morning?"

"You're not up yet?" I glanced at the time casually; it was already 8:30.

"Why are you still sleeping in at this hour? You should have gotten up and been serving your brother-in-law by now," Zheng Zhi said with displeasure.

Zheng Zhi is a chauvinistic man. Although there is a nanny at home, his wife still does some things herself.

He often said that if a nanny could do everything, then there would be no need for a wife.

However, there are some things that a nanny can do, he still has to trouble his wife with.

Other wealthy socialites' daily routines consist of getting beauty treatments, arranging flowers, having afternoon tea, and going shopping.

But Zheng Zhi's wife, Huang Yixuan, didn't enjoy any of the good things after marrying him.

Huang Yixuan doesn't even have the right to attend banquets hosted by wealthy wives.

She's only fit to stay home, be a wife and mother!
These words were spoken by Zheng Zhi himself.

Huang Yixuan initially resisted, but it was no use, and eventually she gave up.

However, Zheng Wen didn't listen to Zheng Zhi's advice and said in an unfriendly tone.

"Alright, brother, I'm not like you, sister-in-law. Your tricks don't work on me. Lu Wei doesn't want to bother me with things that a nanny can do."

She is not like Huang Yixuan, who can be manipulated by others.

Zheng Zhi was about to start lecturing when Zheng Wen interrupted, "Just say what you have to say, I'm getting up soon."

This reminder made Zheng Zhi realize the purpose of his phone call.

"Didn't you see the trending topics? Lu Zhiyan's relationship has been exposed!" Zheng Zhi sneered.

Zheng Wen laughed out loud when he heard this.

It's just a relationship, not news of an engagement or marriage.

This threw them into disarray?

It’s really useless!

"Brother, it's just a relationship, why are you taking it so seriously?" Zheng Wen said slowly.

What rich young master doesn't have a few romantic scandals?

Do we have to make such a fuss every time?

"You were unaware of this?" Zheng Zhi asked uncertainly.

"I didn't know. If I had known, I would have told you in advance," Zheng Wen replied irritably.

She was naturally unhappy because Zheng Zhi had started off in a questioning tone.

Upon hearing that he was unaware of the situation, Zheng Zhi felt relieved.

It seems like he doesn't care; the fact that his family doesn't know clearly indicates he's not serious.

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Wen threw off the covers and got out of bed, his eyes filled with mockery.

Class is a way of showing a person's perspective.

She is no longer the same person she was back then, but Zheng Zhi is still the same Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi hung up the phone with a happy smile.

Huang Yixuan carried breakfast out of the kitchen and gently placed the plates on the table one by one.

After she finished putting it away, Zheng Zhixi came downstairs.

Seeing Zheng Zhixi's resentful expression, Zheng Zhi asked with concern.

"What's wrong? You look so pale."

Zheng Zhixi didn't say anything, walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

"Dad, Brother Lu is dating!" Zheng Zhixi said, sounding aggrieved and feeling inexplicably annoyed.

While comforting her, Zheng Zhi explained, "Oh dear, I just spoke with your aunt on the phone. Your family doesn't know anything. Maybe it's just for fun." "In the end, you'll definitely be the one chosen."

Zheng Zhixi bit her lip, not daring to tell Zheng Zhi what happened at the banquet last night.

A woman's intuition is usually very accurate.

Lu Zhiyan dared to do that kind of thing with another woman while talking to her on the phone, which was clearly a way of rejecting her.

Even if Lu Zhiyan doesn't marry that woman, she won't be his final choice.

Lu Zhiyan dared to do that kind of thing while answering the phone, completely disregarding the consequences and never even thinking about marrying her.

Her heart sank to the bottom.

Seeing her daughter on the verge of tears, Huang Yixuan showed no pity in her eyes, and maintained a polite smile throughout.

Nan Xu woke up in Lu Zhiyan's arms. Lu Zhiyan was still asleep. Looking at the face so close to his, he smiled and slowly got up.

She picked up the bathrobe from the foot of the bed, draped it over herself, and casually tied a bow at the side.

Barefoot on the soft carpet.

She was a little thirsty, so she picked up the kettle on the small table, poured half a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp.

Then she went to the bathroom.

Hearing the noise, Lu Zhiyan slowly opened his eyes, and when he touched the side of his body and found no one there, he immediately stood up.

Looking around, I couldn't find Nanxu anywhere.

Seeing the bathroom door tightly closed, Lu Zhiyan got out of bed, still dressed.

Soon the two of them finished washing up and went downstairs to have breakfast.

It's the weekend, and since there's no housekeeper to cook, Lu Zhiyan has to do it.

Nanxu lay on the sofa, scrolling through her phone, feeling utterly bored.

While I was scrolling through the page, Shu Youli sent me a message.

"You and Lu Zhiyan are trending on social media."

A simple sentence can be both a reminder and a surrender.

Nanxu casually typed "Mm" and exited the chat.

People who know her well can recognize her by the bracelet on her arm.

Especially Yan Xiaoxiao, because she made that bracelet herself.

Speak of the devil, and he appears; Yan Xiaoxiao called.

"Are you guys posting such provocative photos? You don't post clear photos of their faces, just revealing pictures. Is everything in China this provocative now?" Yan Xiaoxiao joked.

Nanxu remained silent.

Who would have thought that Lu Zhiyan would release this photo directly?

They rarely take photos to document their date, so they just wanted to find a random picture of them going out on a date, but they couldn't find one after searching for a long time.

In the end, Secretary Li went to the hotel in Yaocheng to get the surveillance footage and then randomly took a screenshot.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even have a group photo.

Public opinion is still circulating, but Nan Xu's identity has not yet been revealed.

Seeing that Nan Xu hadn't spoken for a long time, Yan Xiaoxiao thought she was angry.

"You're not angry, are you?"

"No," Nan Xu said calmly.

She didn't know how to explain it in a way that wouldn't feel so awkward.

"By the way, people online haven't figured out your identity yet. Aren't you going to come out and admit it?"

Nan Xu thought for a moment and realized that it was about time. Although Lu Zhiyan hadn't proposed to her yet, he had already told her grandparents and her mother.

It's not impossible for her to be made completely public now.

"I'll ask for his opinion later." Nan Xu picked up an apple from the table and took a bite.

Yan Xiaoxiao was speechless. No, what else is there to ask?

If you won't admit it now, when will you admit it?
Don't let those with ulterior motives exploit your popularity.

As far as she knows, there is a female internet celebrity in China who frequently posts information related to Lu Zhiyan on her social media app.

"Lu Zhiyan is now a very popular young master in the capital, and there are quite a few women chasing after him."

"Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore, I need to rest." With that, she hung up the phone.

Nanxu was left alone in a mess; that was just Yan Xiaoxiao's personality.

It's turbulent.
