The runaway Cinderella of the billionaire president

He did not look through her phone to check other private information. After just a quick glance, he handed the phone back to her intact.

Zhou Yian was surprised to see that he just glanced at his phone and didn't look through her other things.

"Did you visit your mother today? Is she happy living there?"

As he spoke, he sat down on the bed, facing her and very close to her. Zhou Yian could even smell a faint scent of women's perfume from him.

Zhou Yian felt a little embarrassed. The two of them hadn't had much communication since that night, and his sudden concern made her a little overwhelmed.

"Yeah, I went to accompany her today."

"If you miss her, you can take her home to live. Now there is Aunt Zhao at home, she can help take care of her, there shouldn't be any problem."

"No thanks." The refusal came out without even thinking.

Xu Zehao was startled and suspicious, frowning as if he was surprised by this answer, "Why? Didn't you want to bring your mother over to live with you?"

Zhou Yian didn't know why Xu Zehao suddenly agreed to bring Zhou's mother home, but she quickly realized that she couldn't bring Zhou's mother to Nanwan, and she couldn't let her know about Xu Zehao's existence.

She didn't want her mother to know about their relationship. The more she knew, the more worried she would be.

After that night, she was determined to leave him. His actions had made her disappointed, heartbroken, scared, and even terrified.

What Zhou Yian wanted has always been simple, just an ordinary and free life, which Xu Zehao could not give her.

"After visiting her today, I feel that she is better off in a nursing home than at home. She has company there. If I bring her home and I go to work, she will still be lonely."

Zhou Yian's answer was flawless and very convincing, leaving Xu Zehao unable to find any flaws.

Xu Zehao nodded in approval, "It's okay, as long as you make your decision."

After a brief conversation, both of them fell silent. The atmosphere became subtle and a little awkward.

"You take a rest, I'll go take a shower first." After saying that, he got up and went to the bathroom.

Seeing him turn and leave, Zhou Yian breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

When Xu Zehao came out of the shower, Zhou Yian was already lying down, curled up on her side. This posture was like a fetus sleeping in the mother's womb. This is usually the sleeping posture of people who lack a sense of security.

He opened the quilt and lay down next to her. The moment he pressed against her, he clearly felt her back stiffen. He turned her body over and hugged her tightly. Then he placed a kiss on her forehead, moving down inch by inch, along the tip of her nose to the corner of her mouth, and finally pried open her teeth with the tip of his tongue. His forceful invasion deepened the kiss.

Zhou Yian closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly, forcing himself to accept his intimate contact without dodging or avoiding, and even took the initiative to put his arms around his neck to please him.

Her initiative tonight also surprised him.

What he didn't know was that Zhou Yian's compromise and obedience were only because she was already preparing for her life after leaving him. She wanted to part ways amicably and didn't want to create any unnecessary trouble. He was not in her future plans.

After the passion, Xu Zehao hugged Zhou Yian sideways, rubbed his forehead against the back of her head, then nestled his head in her neck and sniffed deeply, "An'an, as long as you follow me well, I can give you whatever you want."

Zhou Yian was silent for a long time before speaking, "Then could you please not send someone to follow me?"

"I didn't send anyone to follow you." The tone was lazy and hoarse, with a hint of helplessness.

"Then how do you know who I met with Fu...?" The name Fu Shenyan seemed to have become a taboo between the two of them. Zhou Yian stopped talking when the words came to his lips.

"When you went to the private villa that day, you were seen by my friend. He knew you and Fu Shenyan. He thought I was there too, so he sent me a message."

"Xu Zehao, do you know... your suspicion is very hurtful."

Xu Zehao sighed softly and kissed her back, "An An, I'm sorry."

Zhou Yian was speechless, as if every time she was hurt, she was only rewarded with a light-hearted “it’s okay” from him.

This man never understood what she wanted.

"Didn't I tell you before that we were going to go out and play together? We were too busy during that time and haven't gone yet. I'll take you out in a couple of days. You've been working hard during this period."

He said this a few months ago, but he has not yet fulfilled his promise.

Maybe he said it again out of guilt, but now it seemed meaningless whether to go or not.

"Okay." Zhou Yian didn't want to refute his interest.

"Then go to sleep. I'm so sleepy."

Xu Zehao rested his chin on Zhou Yian's shoulder, tightened his arms and deepened the embrace, his breathing gradually became steady and even as he fell asleep. This should have been the most harmonious scene between lovers, but this man did not belong to her, and the happiness before her eyes was so real but it was an illusion.

Zhou Yian tossed and turned in bed until the second half of the night. She heard his breathing gradually getting heavier behind her and knew that he was already fast asleep.

She gently pulled away his hands on her body, turned around to face him, and looked at his handsome face that was magnified because of the close distance. His thin lips were tightly pursed. She reached out and touched his lips. It is said that people with thin lips are heartless and ungrateful, and Xu Zehao is the same.

When she woke up the next day, Xu Zehao had already left. She changed her clothes, washed up, and went downstairs.

"Good morning, Miss." Aunt Zhao saw her coming down and hurried to the kitchen to bring out the prepared breakfast.

"Is it so nutritious to eat this early in the morning?" Zhou Yian was a little confused as he looked at the stew on the table. Usually his breakfast was porridge, bread, dumplings, fried dough sticks and other common snacks, but today it was stew.

"This is the fine fish maw and abalone that my husband brought back yesterday. He said you've lost weight, so he asked me to stew some for you every morning to replenish your body."

Zhou Yian lowered his head and looked at his waist. He clearly didn't feel thinner. "Aunt Zhao, have I lost weight?"

"You have always been so thin, like a paper man. It's time to get some weight on yourself."

"Okay, then I'll just have to eat more. Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Zhao."

A few days later on the weekend, Xu Zehao suddenly told her to pack up and go downstairs, as he wanted to take her out to play for a few days.

Zhou Yian always thought that he was just talking casually like before, but she didn't expect that he really wanted to take her out to play.

When she packed her things and went downstairs, Xu Zehao was already waiting there.

She put the packed clothes into the trunk, then opened the passenger seat and sat down.

"Where are we going?"

"Don't ask, you'll know soon." Xu Zehao smiled and kept the secret.

Zhou Yian pursed his lips mischievously to express his dissatisfaction, and then said nothing more.

At the beginning, there were high-rise buildings made of steel and concrete on both sides of the road. As the vehicles passed, there were fewer and fewer buildings on both sides, and they were replaced by large tracts of farmland and forests.

Zhou Yian excitedly rolled down the car window. The air was filled with fresh air and the fragrance of earth that were not found in big cities. Although the wind blew on his face with a slight stinging sensation, it made him feel refreshed and happy.
