The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker

Chapter 354 - 326: Exposed If Photographed

Hotel backyard.Chu Zhengran stood behind the wall, listening to Qin Xia and Xiao Zhe’s conversation, his whole body felt like it was trapped in an ice cellar, chilled to the bone.

He never knew his mother intervened in their matters. He didn’t even know Qin Xia had met his mother before. He couldn’t understand why his mother would interfere with his relationship.

From childhood to adulthood, his mother had always respected him in everything.

He never knew about these things.

Chu Zhengran stood in the darkness, feeling his heart grow colder inch by inch.

In the courtyard, Xiao Zhe said again, "Since you want to forget him, find a boyfriend. Then why not forget him, and look at me. That way you save time finding another boyfriend."

Chu Zhengran’s aura was as cold as flying snow in December.

Listening to Xiao Zhe’s words, he directly walked into the courtyard.

Qin Xia had drunk a bit too much, her reaction was somewhat slow, she didn’t even hear the footsteps.

It was Xiao Zhe who heard them and turned to look behind. But Chu Zhengran moved too fast, as soon as he saw his face, Chu Zhengran picked up the coat from Qin Xia and tossed it to him, then raised Qin Xia up.

Qin Xia suddenly stood up, unsteadily, almost falling, but was caught by Chu Zhengran.

Xiao Zhe hurriedly stood up as well.

Qin Xia swayed again, her face flushed, her expression dazed, her eyes unfocused. She steadied herself, squinted, and looked at Chu Zhengran.

She smiled at Xiao Zhe, pointed at Chu Zhengran, and said, "Xiao Zhe, look quickly, this person looks so much like Chu Zhengran."

Xiao Zhe looked at her, then at Chu Zhengran, and said nothing.

Chu Zhengran took off his coat and wrapped it around Qin Xia.

Qin Xia stood there, wrapped in the coat, and swayed again.

Xiao Zhe wanted to help her, but Chu Zhengran held her steady and pulled her behind him.

Xiao Zhe frowned slightly, "Mr. Chu, she’s drunk."

Chu Zhengran slightly smiled, a gentle smile with coldness, "I can see it, no need for Mr. Xiao to remind me."

"She doesn’t want to go with you." Xiao Zhe said again.

Chu Zhengran’s gentlemanly and gentle temperament was ingrained, even in a state of anger, radiating coldness, that temperament remained: "This doesn’t require Mr. Xiao’s concern."

Just after he finished speaking, Qin Xia shook off his hand.

Chu Zhengran turned to look at her.

Qin Xia staggered back a step, frowned, and said, "Why did you come?"

She recognized him.

"Can’t I come?" Chu Zhengran said.

Qin Xia looked at him, said nothing, retreated another step, trying to distance herself.

Seeing her retreat, the cold aura around Chu Zhengran deepened.

Xiao Zhe, seeing this, immediately wanted to move to Qin Xia’s side but was stopped by the Chu Family members who followed Chu Zhengran.

Qin Xia looked at Xiao Zhe, took a step down, wanting to go towards Xiao Zhe.

She wore high heels, drank a little too much, took a step down a stair, staggered, unsteady.

Chu Zhengran had been watching her, afraid she’d fall. Then watched her step by step, past him, towards Xiao Zhe.

At the moment she passed him, a storm raged in Chu Zhengran’s heart, he looked at the night, took a deep breath, turned around and went to Qin Xia’s side, directly lifted her horizontally.

"Ah!" Qin Xia suddenly lifted off the ground, frightened and shouted.

Having drunk, her reaction was somewhat delayed, her arm instinctively wrapped around Chu Zhengran’s neck, looked at him reacted for two seconds before realizing she was being lifted.

She let go of his neck, struggled to get down, "Put me down."

Chu Zhengran glanced at her, ignored her, held her firmly, not letting her jump down, walked directly towards the small garden outside.

"Let me go." Qin Xia said.

Chu Zhengran acted as though he didn’t hear.

"Chu Zhengran." Xiao Zhe wanted to catch up with them.

The Chu Family stopped him.

Xiao Zhe tried to fight, the Chu Family didn’t fight back, just dodged, still stood in front of him blocking the way, "Mr. Xiao should understand, this matter must let Miss Qin and our sir resolve."

"Move aside!" Xiao Zhe said.

The Chu Family refused, saying again, "Mr. Xiao, you probably don’t want Miss Qin to be sad either. Things always need a conclusion, let them talk, it’s good for Miss Qin, not bad for Mr. Xiao. Since regardless of the outcome, Mr. Xiao is not in Miss Qin’s consideration."

What Chu Zhengran had heard, his Chu Family also heard part of it.

Xiao Zhe’s heart was poked, emotions stabilized a bit.

"Rest assured Mr. Xiao, our sir regards Miss Qin as his life, will never do anything harmful to Miss Qin." Chu Family said, "Miss Qin is very safe."

Xiao Zhe rubbed his fingertips and said nothing.

He wasn’t worried about Qin Xia’s safety, he was worried that once they left, he really wouldn’t have another chance.

But what the Chu Family said made sense.

No matter what, the result will be, there must be a conclusion between Qin Xia and Chu Zhengran.

The Chu Family saw he was no longer chasing Chu Zhengran, politely nodded to him, then hurried to find Chu Zhengran.

Chu Zhengran held Qin Xia as he walked towards the hotel.

Qin Xia kept struggling to get down, "Chu Zhengran, let me go! Don’t force me to fight you."

No matter how she struggled, Chu Zhengran held her tightly, ignoring her and saying nothing.

Qin Xia grew angry, hit his shoulder, "Chu Zhengran, are you mad! Let me go! Men and women shouldn’t touch, don’t you know?"

Chu Zhengran still didn’t speak.

Qin Xia said, "Don’t force me to fight you."

Just before reaching the hotel, Chu Zhengran said, "If you don’t want to be photographed by the media, behave."

"Stay away from me, then no one will photograph us." Qin Xia said.

"Impossible." Chu Zhengran said, "If photographed, you’ll announce the relationship."

"You’re insane." Qin Xia seemed to sober up a bit.

Chu Zhengran still ignored her.

Qin Xia hazily, seeing the hotel blur in her vision, her remaining rationality told her she can’t be photographed.

So she shrunk-shrunk, pulled-pulled, shrank into the coat, buried her face in Chu Zhengran’s chest.

Afraid someone would recognize her shoes, she even kicked off her high heels.

Chu Zhengran glanced down. Worried she was cold, he sped up to the hotel.

The Chu Family picked up the high heels behind.

Picked up the shoes, then jogged ahead to press the elevator.

Chu Zhengran directly carried Qin Xia back to the 30th-floor room.

The Chu Family swiped the room open with a key card.

Chu Zhengran carried Qin Xia into the room.

Placed her down, he turned to take the key card and Qin Xia’s high heels from the Chu Family.

With the key card in hand, before the door could close, Qin Xia attempted to exit.

Her hand had already touched the door handle.

Chu Zhengran threw the shoes down, pressed the door, used force, closed it, and inserted the key card into the slot on the wall.

Room lights came on, Qin Xia tried again, with some force, opened the door to a crack.

Chu Zhengran again forcibly closed the door.

Then he held Qin Xia’s shoulder, turning her to face him.
