”Is there something important going on for Ms. Tang to come all the way here?”
Mu Yalan remained calm and asked as she placed the delicate teacup in her hand on the table and looked at Tang Zhen with an imposing manner.
”It's like this. Many years ago, Mister Xiao and my father arranged a marriage. I was thinking that now that the two children have grown up, shouldn't the marriage be on the agenda?”
As she spoke, a trace of treachery quickly flashed past the corner of her eyes. She carefully observed Mu Yalan's every move, not letting go of even the slightest bit of emotion in her eyes.
She didn't think that Tang Zijun brought her here for this kind of thing. Tang Zhen couldn't help but laugh coldly in his heart, Tang Zijun was really thinking of ways to buy and sell him at every single moment.
Even though she was furious, she didn't directly argue with Tang Zijun. She held her bag tightly in her hands.
Mu Yalan raised her head gracefully to look at Tang Zijun. A noble woman who dealt with matters calmly and deliberately, who lived in a wealthy family, had now formed a clear contrast.
”I've heard about this from Yuanhang. Yuanhang has always placed great emphasis on promises, especially with his close friends like Old Master Tang, but we can't be careless when it comes to marriage. Why don't you stay and have a quick meal? When Yuanhang and the children return, how about we listen to their opinions?”
Mu Yalan replied indifferently. She couldn't help but cast another glance at Tang Zijun, and could clearly see the benefits in her eyes.
After all, it was impossible to become the wife of the Xiao family without some accurate insight and shrewdness.
The corner of her mouth was smiling, and did not reveal any inappropriate emotions, but it was only this kind of calmness, which made Tang Zijun even more lacking in confidence.
When Mu Yalan met Tang Zhen's gaze, the emotions in her eyes fluctuated a little. Tang Zhen's eyes were pure, without any scheming, and was completely different from the aura Tang Zijun displayed.
”That's great.”
After Tang Zijun heard this, he happily patted his legs. As he got carried away, he quickly restrained himself, not forgetting to rest.
Tang Zhen expressionlessly looked at the cup of black tea in front of her. If she wanted Tang Zijun to let his guard down, she would have to slowly let her relax. Sexual Affinity...
However, before Tang Zhen could continue thinking, someone had already barged in.
”Mommy, are we home from work?”
He leisurely walked into the living room. When he realized that there were still other customers sitting in the living room, he had already locked his gaze on Tang Zhen. The rogue aura on his face instantly disappeared, and he looked at Tang Zhen with a hint of contempt and disdain.
As he said that, he sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked straight at Tang Zhen.
Xiao Yuanhang and Xiao Ziqing entered behind him. They seemed to be discussing work as they walked.
”Tang Zhen?”
When Xiao Ziqing saw Tang Zhen, she was shocked. She squinted her eyes and looked at Tang Zijun.
But she did not understand the relationship between her family and the Tang family.
”Zi Qing.”
Tang Zhen calmly looked at Xiao Ziqing. Other than this Xiao Family possessing such grandeur, there was no other family in A City.
Therefore, Tang Zhen had been mentally prepared since the moment she entered the villa's gate. When her gaze swept across Xiao Zihang, she was naturally able to see the contempt in his eyes.
Tang Zhen met his gaze head-on, and in his eyes, other than contempt, there was also an indescribable smile.
