Xuan Yang followed Zhou Dang out of the Xuan family villa.
Only after sitting in the passenger seat of Zhou Dang's black G-Class did she finally relax from the tense environment.
In the driver's seat, Zhou Dang unscrewed a bottle of water he had taken from the trunk and handed it to Xuan Yang: "Drink some water to calm down."
Xuan Yang took it and thanked him.
Zhou Dang's light-colored eyes fixed on her, not quite satisfied: "Mrs. Zhou, are you already ungrateful and being distant with me?"
Xuan Yang choked on the water, turning her head toward the window and coughing lightly.
Seeing this, Zhou Dang quickly patted her back to soothe her, frowning: "What's the rush? Hit the nail on the head, did I?"
Xuan Yang: "..."
She was just being polite. Was being polite not allowed?
But come to think of it, wasn't Zhou Dang adapting to this new relationship a bit too quickly?
After a moment of thought, Xuan Yang decided not to discuss the topic of closeness with him.
"Why did you suddenly come over?"
People are different—some adapt quickly, while others are slower. There's no need to compare.
She was more curious about how he ended up at the Xuan house.
Hadn't he gone back to the Zhou Family Old Mansion?
Had he already resolved things with the Zhou elders?!
Xuan Yang's thoughts were scattered, a slight frown on her face as she looked worried.
Zhou Dang took the water bottle back from her, subconsciously wanting to take a sip to moisten his dry lips.
But just as the bottle reached his lips, he suddenly realized something and stopped.
Then, after a brief struggle, he swallowed and put the cap back on: "You didn't answer when I called. I was a bit worried."
Xuan Yang understood.
After a moment, she remembered something and frowned: "My phone is still charging in my room..."
Zhou Dang paused, finally understanding why she hadn't answered the call.
"Good."
At least she hadn't intentionally ignored him.
Xuan Yang was confused: "??"
Zhou Dang shook off his thoughts, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He leaned over and helped her fasten her seatbelt: "Let's go celebrate with dinner, so I don't have to worry about you fighting to pay the bill."
Xuan Yang: "..."
She hadn't said she was going to dinner with him.
