He didn’t want to have too much contact with Li Xuanxuan, fearing that Tianxin would know and blame him unfairly.

"The girlfriend you mentioned, is it Tianxin?" Li Xuanxuan’s expression stiffened as she asked with a forced smile.

His attitude towards her was so cold...

Compared to his attitude towards Tianxin, it was like night and day!

If he could treat her even a tenth as well as he treated Tianxin, how nice that would be...

"Yes." A flash of surprise crossed Ziyang’s eyes, but he still told her the truth.

She must have seen him with Tianxin, otherwise she wouldn’t ask this way.

He didn’t want to hide it anymore, and it was better to let everyone know.

"How could you..." Li Xuanxuan stared at Ziyang in shock. He admitted it!

He was really with Tianxin, how was that possible!

How could they...

"Do you have anything else to ask?" Ziyang said coldly.

"Huo Ziyang, how can you like a little girl! She’s not even an adult yet. There’s a big gap between you and her. Have you thought about the consequences?" Li Xuanxuan asked painfully, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"It’s none of your business." Ziyang said indifferently, though his heart ached a little upon hearing Li Xuanxuan’s words.

Of course, he had thought about these issues, but his love for Tianxin had taken away all his rationality.

He didn’t care about anything, as long as Tianxin was willing to be with him, he wouldn’t push her away again!

"You’d rather be with a child than be with me?"

"Yes!"

Bang――

Li Xuanxuan looked at him painfully, taking a few unsteady steps back, nearly stumbling in embarrassment.

Ziyang ignored her pain, stepped towards the door, entered the password, went in, and closed the door.

Seeing his heartlessness, Li Xuanxuan crouched on the ground, crying in pain.

Inside, Ziyang paused for a moment at her crying, but continued walking.

He didn’t like her, and wouldn’t give her any hope!

Li Xuanxuan cried for a long time. After she had cried enough, she wiped her tears, stood up, glanced at Ziyang’s house, and turned away!

――

Early the next morning.

Ziyang came to the Huo Family to tell Tianxin that there was news about Yangyang.

Knowing Ziyang came, Tianxin hurried downstairs without even tidying her hair, running to the side hall.

Seeing Ziyang sitting on the sofa, she happily ran to his side and sat down.

Grabbing his arm, she asked, "Brother Ziyang, is there really news about Yangyang?"

Her big eyes gazed at him expectantly, eager to hear the news about Yangyang soon.

She had been worried about Yangyang all night, and Yangyang’s parents were worried too.

They called her twice last night to ask if there was any news about Yangyang.

She comforted them, saying there would definitely be news today.

And there was indeed!

"Yes, we’ve contacted him, and he’ll get in touch with his parents." Ziyang nodded, feeling a bit down seeing her so concerned about Yangyang.

Ziyang scorned himself inwardly for being jealous of Yangyang...

He clearly knew that Tianxin’s concern for Yangyang was just out of friendship, but he was still unhappy! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

He only wanted Tianxin to care about him and didn’t want her to care about others...

But this girl had a kind heart and treated everyone well.

He couldn’t blame such a kind person, and was also speechless about his own pettiness.

"I’ll call him now!" Tianxin said with a cheerful smile.

She immediately grabbed her phone and dialed Yangyang’s number, which was immediately picked up.

"Hello..." Before Yangyang could finish saying "hello," Tianxin burst out with a barrage of words.

"Yangyang, are you okay? Where have you been these past few days? Why didn’t you contact Uncle and Aunt? They were very worried about you! What were you thinking, disappearing like that and making everyone worried?" Hearing Yangyang’s voice, Tianxin finally felt relieved and stopped worrying.

Author Xiao Ning: To explain, the updates have been fewer these days because Xiao Ning has been busy with family, shopping for New Year’s goods. It’s been tiring, so updates are fewer, just four Chapters a day. It’s not as you’ve said, updating less than two Chapters a day. I know you’ve been waiting eagerly, but Xiao Ning is also very tired, so the updates are reduced. After these days, I’ll catch up on more updates for everyone.
