Beijing-Hong Kong Confession

Su Weiwen has to be on duty, and Xiao Jiyan has an operation in an hour.

Zhu Xia did not stay long after finishing her cake. She left the hospital and returned to Yangriju. After a quick wash, she curled up in bed to catch up on her sleep.

The azure sky was gradually dyed by the setting sun, which lit up Victoria Harbour, and the afterglow spread through layers of waves.

Orange-colored sunlight filtered through the gaps in the heavy curtains, casting itself onto the clean, bright floor of the bedroom.

The alarm clock rang and Zhu Xia woke up with sleepy eyes.

She stared at the ceiling with her pupils dilated, and after staying in bed for fifteen minutes, she slowly got up.

Zhu Xia has an appointment with Li Baize to discuss something tonight.

Lin Jiayue participated in various social activities and made many informants who provided her with gossip for her journalistic work.

Li Boze is one of them. He started a private detective agency from scratch. He is an enthusiastic and loyal person with a network of contacts all over Hong Kong.

Li Baize was introduced to Zhu Xia by Lin Jiayue.

They are not reserved people and have compatible personalities. As a result, they become both employees and friends.

Zhu Xia occasionally jokes that he is the new-age Young and Dangerous.

Lin Jiayue immediately added fuel to the fire, "She called you a thug!"

Li Baize cooperated very well, with the tip of his tongue against his back teeth, and called them both "sister-in-law" in a vulgar tone.

Lin Jiayue was so coaxed that she laughed so hard that her teeth were showing.

The afterglow of the setting sun completely dissipated and the sky gradually became dark.

The restaurant Zhu Xia had booked in advance was a famous high-end Chinese restaurant in Wan Chai District, Hong Kong Island, located near the window.

Zhu Xia arrived first, holding his face with one hand, looking out the window at the crescent moon hanging high in the dark sky.

The moon is getting rounder and rounder, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

New York is 12 hours behind Beijing. Song Chengyu never called her again after that call. He always sent her messages on WeChat.

Zhu Xia knew that this meant that it could not be negotiated.

He would definitely go to see her.

While thinking, the muscular man waved his hand to refuse the waiter's service and strode into the door.

Li Baize sat down opposite Zhu Xia, raised his eyebrows, and said loudly: "It's a great place with a romantic atmosphere. It's a great place for dating."

Hearing the voice, Zhu Xia came to his senses and turned his head to look at him.

Li Baize was wearing a black T-shirt and casual pants. He had distinct facial features and a straight nose, and he had a sloppy, bandit-like air and aggressiveness.

Zhu Xia motioned him to look at the menu on the table and said with a faint smile: "It seems that you are a regular customer. I recommend a few dishes."

Li Baize flipped through the menu and, speaking in standard Hong Kong accent, generously shared with her his thoughts on the signature dishes.

“The seafood puff pastry box is creamy and has mashed potatoes and egg yolk inside. The outer skin is super crispy. It is super delicious.”

"Pomegranate ceviche, I love it no matter how much I eat it."

"The seafood includes hamachi, scallops and octopus, which are very fresh, and the texture and taste are very layered, very creamy."

A song was playing in the star-rated restaurant filled with the aroma of fragrance, with the prelude being a melodious and elegant piano piece.

“Who can own Mount Fuji out of love?”

The song ends with this sentence.

The huge restaurant fell into silence. The waiters and managers were all silent. Zhu Xia and Li Baize looked towards the door.

The restaurant is luxurious and elegant, and the glass chandelier is like a dream.

A group of bodyguards in suits led the way, and the assistant secretaries followed in front and behind. The man with superior stature walked calmly into the venue, his ink-black eyes were as cold and calm as usual.

Looking around the room, there are only two kinds of people: those who try to please him, and those who are afraid of him.

Zhu Xia held his chin with his hand, moved his gaze downward, and stared at his right hand without blinking.

The scar was on the palm of his hand, and from her angle, she could only see the protruding blue veins on the back of his hand.

My vision is a little blurry, but my memory is crystal clear.

Zhu Xia slowly raised his eyes, and his gaze unexpectedly met He Lianzhou's.

The light from the crystal chandelier sprinkled on the man, making his eyebrows and eyes look even deeper, as if they were carefully outlined with the most expensive brush, with rich ink and color.

He seemed to just glance at it casually, and then turned his eyes away without making a sound or expression, and went straight to the VIP elevator.

As He Lianzhou strode forward, Zhu Xia discovered that the girl a few steps behind him was staring at him.

Just like that, the two of them looked at each other from a distance.

Liang Yiying was surprised, her beautiful pupils were blank and her expression was frozen.

It's her, it's actually her! How could she be here?

Compared to Liang Yiying's disbelief, Zhu Xia was exceptionally calm. She looked at Liang Yiying with admiration.

The girl with a simple high ponytail in the past is now wearing a smoky blue satin dress, with gorgeous makeup, and red nail polish inlaid with diamonds on her fingertips, shining with gold, and her whole body is full of elegance and intelligence.

It was similar to the photo I saw on Lin Jiayue’s phone last time.

The most beautiful woman in the world.

Liang Yiying was stunned for a moment, looked at He Lianzhou in surprise, and then turned back to look at Zhu Xia.

A smile appeared on Zhu Xia's face, and he nodded to her gracefully.

After a brief hesitation, Liang Yiying regained her senses and hurried over.

After they walked away, everyone dared to breathe deeply and whisper to each other.

"The bodyguards are all strong and healthy. I can't even see the appearance of the one from the He family." Someone sighed.

"Me too, but I saw a pretty girl following behind. Who is that pretty girl?"

They looked at each other, seeking answers, and shook their heads.

A waiter whispered the inside story: "Mr. He's future wife."

Li Baize asked Zhu Xia if she had any food taboos or any food she particularly wanted to eat. The latter said that all the dishes here were the same to her and asked him to take care of it.

With Lin Jiayue's help, Li Baize and Zhu Xia had dinner together several times and realized that she would not put herself in a difficult position and would speak directly to her point. Since she said so, there was no need to beat around the bush.

Li Baize ordered food from the waiter.

A strange message suddenly popped up on Zhu Xia's phone which was placed on his right hand side.

She clicked on it and saw a statement without any beginning or end:

"I've brought you here before."

Zhu Xia's fingertips twitched slightly.

The string wrapped deep in my heart seemed to be pulled by someone's fingers.

It’s He Lianzhou.

She couldn't imagine the look and tone in the man's eyes when he said this. They had clearly parted on bad terms not long ago, and they had just stared at each other like strangers.

Qinghexuan, the most expensive restaurant in Hong Kong, specializes in providing gourmet dining services for high-end customers.

The Cantonese dishes cooked by the chefs here are almost all top-notch.

Zhu Xia knew this because He Lianzhou taught her Cantonese and she promised to give him three days of vacation.

During the three-day holiday, he took her to Hong Kong City and had dinner on the top floor here.

Later, he spent a lot of money to poach the chef of Qinghexuan to come to London to cook Chinese food.

During that time, not only her, but Bella also enjoyed the meal very much, wagging her tail happily all day long.

The top floor of Qinghexuan is never open to the public and is for private use only.

The best floor of the royal top Chinese restaurant.

Except He Lianzhou, no one else can enjoy this treatment.

Zhu Xia suddenly realized something.

Her arrival in the port area was accidental, but meeting He Lianzhou here was inevitable.
