Uchiha of Zero Zone

Chapter 157 Invitation and Rejection

In the brightly lit mansion, Lekaan, Ellen, and Lina had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Zhong Yan coming, Lekaan and Lina stood up immediately, while Ailian sat on the sofa with an indifferent expression and deliberately turned her head away to avoid looking at him.

This scene was naturally seen by Zhong Yan, but the current atmosphere was not the time to take the initiative to look for Ailian.

Therefore, he could only focus on Lekaan who was walking towards him: "Long time no see, Mr. Lekaan."

Hearing this, Lekaan shook his head and said with a smile, "No need to be so polite, Mr. Zhong Yan. If it weren't for you that day, I'm afraid we would have been blown to ashes by now. It is really an honor for us to have you visit us today."

I have to say that Lekaan is a real gentleman. His words gave Zhong Yan goose bumps all over his body. Coupled with that iconic professional smile, it is hard to imagine how such professional qualities were cultivated.

At this time, Lekaan noticed Ailian lying motionless on the sofa, and immediately said, "Ailian, why don't you get up and say hello to Mr. Zhong Yan? You two are good friends."

Hearing what Lekaan said, Ailian curled her lips, then stood up from the sofa very reluctantly, and bowed deeply to Zhong Yan in a perfunctory manner: "Thank you for your patronage, Mr. Zhong Yan."

Seeing Ai Lian's attitude, Zhong Yan felt an inexplicable sourness in his heart. Perhaps she was unhappy about what happened before, and she hasn't forgiven him yet.

"Well...Mr. Zhong Yan, Ailian..." Lekaan noticed that there was something wrong with Zhong Yan's expression, and opened his mouth to smooth things over.

However, before he could finish his words, Zhong Yan stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "It's okay, I did something wrong to her, and I haven't apologized to her properly until now. It's normal to have such a reaction."

As Zhong Yan spoke, he did not forget to observe Ailian's expression from time to time. He found that after hearing what he said, she could not help but pursed her lips. He did not know what this action meant.

"In that case, Mr. Zhong Yan would take the initiative to come here today, probably for this reason...Excuse me, after the master learned that you were coming, he planned to meet you. I wonder if Mr. Zhong Yan has time."

Lekaan's expression seemed a little hesitant. He didn't know whether his request would be granted. More importantly, he didn't know whether doing so would anger the other party.

The strength of the Uchiha is really too terrifying. In addition, they do not have a good relationship with Zhong Yan like the Cunning Rabbit House. The only connection point is Ailian.

Under such circumstances, they had to be careful in what they said and did. The reason why the owner of Victoria Housekeeping proposed to meet with Zhong Yan was to deepen the relationship between the two.

There is no way. Uchiha is such a popular commodity that even those guys from the Hollow Investigation Association are trying their best to get it. The same is true for Victoria Housekeeping.

"No." Zhong Yan answered without hesitation. He only came to apologize to Ailian today and didn't want to do anything else. Naturally, the invitation from Lekaan and the owner of Victoria Housekeeping was included.

Zhong Yan's answer made Lekaan's expression stiffen, but even so, he still forced a smile and said, "I understand. In this case, I will leave the time for you and Ailian. I hope the relationship between the two of you can be eased."

After saying this, Lekaan realized that he should not stay any longer, and immediately left with Kelin and Lina.

The only ones left were Zhong Yan and Ai Lian who was sitting on the sofa.

......

"How's it going, Lekaan?" In another room in the mansion, the owner of Victoria Housekeeping, a white-haired woman in her thirties, looked at Lekaan and the other two who knocked on the door and asked expectantly.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Zhong Yan only wanted to apologize to Ailian and was not interested in meeting you, so...he rejected the proposal." Lekaan lowered his head and said with an apologetic tone.

The owner was not surprised when he heard this. He just smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? I didn't expect that my little Ailian would have such charm... Since he doesn't want to meet me, let's do it this way for now. At least little Ailian is still here, so we don't have to worry about him being hostile to us."

After learning that Zhong Yan was the Uchiha and the relationship between him and Ailen, the master's first thought was to arrange a marriage between the two in order to strengthen the relationship between the Uchiha and Victoria Housekeeping.

Originally, this idea was to be raised during the conversation with Zhong Yan, but now he refuses to meet, so there is nothing we can do.

......

Meanwhile, in the room on the other side.

Zhong Yan stood there like a fool for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to walk over to the seat next to Ai Lian and sit down.

Upon seeing this, Ailian deliberately moved her body away from him, and from beginning to end, she supported her chin with her hand and looked to the other side.

"Ailian." Zhong Yan stretched out his hand and gently poked Ailian's shoulder.

However, facing such contact, Ailian did not react at all. She just looked at the wall quietly without saying a word.

Zhong Yan knew that the most important thing at the moment was to get Ailian to speak.

So, he increased the movement of his hands and reached directly towards Ailian's chest.

This time, Ailian finally couldn't help it. After feeling the contact of Zhong Yan's palm, she immediately jumped up, picked up the huge gardening arrow from the side, and held it high above her head.

Zhong Yan was not afraid when he saw this scene. He just watched Ailian silently. Once the other party made a move, he would immediately use his divine power to put himself into a virtual state.

There is no way, high attack and low defense, this is also the old tradition of Naruto.

"You bastard, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Ailian's cheeks flushed slightly. The contact just now made her shyness expand wildly, and now the temperature of her entire face was rising rapidly.

If she hadn't retained a bit of rationality, she would have probably cut him with the scissors.

"Don't I want to talk to you? And for what happened before, I never had the chance to apologize to you. Now is a good opportunity to do so." Zhong Yan said with a smile.

While speaking, he did not stop the movement of his hands, which made Ailian unable to maintain her state and weakly let go of the gardening arrow in her hand.

After that, the two of them hugged each other naturally.

Zhong Yan's mood also improved a lot because of this, because all his behaviors proved that Ai Lian was just being arrogant.

Deep down in her heart, she still loves herself!
