Chapter 293 So There Is Something Going on Between Them

The adorable little look that was Mengmeng gave caused the corners of Zi Yan’s lips to tug upwards.

“Er, well, I just thought you might feel more comfortable sunbathing in a swimsuit. You can apply the sunscreen yourself, too. Well, of course, I’ll be happy to help if you need a hand. Er…” Some time amidst during his rambling, Zhang Han had completely forgotten the point he was trying to make. So he stared right into Zi Yan’s eyes and spoke from his heart instead. “You know what? The truth is, I do wish to see you in a swimsuit. Because I’m sure you’ll look sexy in it and drive me completely nuts.”

Swish !

Crimson creeped onto Zi Yan’s cheeks.

Even if rationality prevailed— albeit only slightly— during the day, it was still no match for the sheer bluntness in Zhang Han’s words.

“You, you keep dreaming!” Zi Yan shot back shyly.

She felt as though her heart rate had gone through the roof in an instant.

“You idiot,” she thought. “You’ve finally shown your true colors, haven’t you?”

Then again, not even Zi Yan herself realized that in the face of Zhang Han’s ‘risquerisqué’ remark, she did not even try to reject his advances. In fact, she was secretly a bit… happy?

“Mmhm, PaPa, you keep dreaming,.” Mengmeng repeated her words.

“Hahaha…” Zhang Han laughed heartily and shifted Mengmeng from his right arm to his left. After that, he reached out with his right hand and held Zi Yan’s left palm.

Zi Yan was still feeling the after-effects of her earlier shyness; her arm twitched lightly at the abrupt contact. She did not pull back her hand but allowed it to be held instead.

Actually, hand holding had long since become a routine for the both of them.

The group kept walking towards the beach area. Zhao Feng picked up his pacewent ahead and rented a few beach lounge chairs. Meanwhile, Zhang Li and her group went to get some cold drinks.

After that, they got settled in a less occupied crowded spotarea. That was when Zhao Feng’s phone rang.

After he wrapped up the call, Zhao Feng walked back to Zhang Han’s side and said, “tThat was Chairman Liu. His flight is scheduled to depart later. He wants to visit you before he leaves, master. He’s already at the front door of our restaurant. Should I go back and entertain him, or should we invite him to join us here?”

“Go back and entertain him,” Zhang Han answered casually as he gave the restaurant’s keys to Zhao Feng.

“Understood.”

Zhao Feng nodded and strode away from the beach.

Back at the carpark, Zhang HanZhao Feng walked up to Xu Yong’s car first.

“Xu Yong, Ah Hu, you guys head to the beach. Stay on the left side where you’ll be hidden. Don’t disturb the boss and the others,” Zhao Feng ordered.

“MmOk. Then, what will you be doing, Brother Feng?” aAsked Ah Hu.

“I have to head back to the restaurant to deal with something.”

After that, Zhao Feng walked back to his own car and drove off.

When Zhao Feng arrived at the restaurant’s facade, he was stunned at what he saw.

Other than Liu Qingfeng’s Rolls-Royce Phantom, another vehicle was present; it was a small delivery truck.

Did he come here to make a delivery?

Feeling a bit puzzled, Zhao Feng parked his car. Just then, he saw that Liu Qingfeng, littleXiao Ling and Tian San had already stepped out of their car.

“Chairman Liu,” Zhao Feng greeted with a smile.

“Where’s Mr. Zhang?” Liu Qingfeng asked. His tone sounded a little puzzled.

“Today is the boss’ wife’s birthday. The boss wants to stay with her the whole time, so he didn’t return,” Zhao Feng explained.

“Huh? Mrs. Zhang’s birthday?” Liu Qingfeng froze for a moment, and then he frowned. “Tsk, littleXiao Feng! Why didn’t you tell me earlier that it’s Mrs. Zhang’s birthday today? I would’ve at least prepared some gifts if I had known!”

“Exactly!” Tian San sent Zhao Feng a glare. Then, Tian San’s lips broke into a grin. “You know you’re so obsessed with formality these days that you actually seem a little stand-offish. You’re now so unlike the time when you and I had our fist fight. You had so much fire back then. Now you’re even keeping something like this from me!”

Ever since finding out about Zhao Feng’s association with someone as esteemed as Zhang Han, Tian San started to see Zhao Feng in a whole new light; Tian San had even cracked a joke or two despite his usual seriousness and austerity.

“Hey, it’s not that I wanted to keep it from you on purpose.” Zhao Feng let out a bitter chuckle. “The boss didn’t want me to tell anyone. He told me to keep it a secret so that he could surprise the missus.”

“Hahaha.” Liu Qingfeng laughed heartily. “I truly envy Mr. Zhang. Well, then I guess my timing is spot on, since I’ve brought over these gifts. I suppo
