Sha Zhixing and Luo Xichen had grown up together. They were the young women closest to him. In fact, it was normal for the media to have caught the two of them together many times. It was also normal for them to behave intimately.
However, now that these photos were in front of them, it was impossible not to think too much about it.
Luo Xichen's eyes were too protective...
Wen Lan had only suspected that the relationship between the two of them had changed. This time, the news had once again caused her to have such doubts.
She put down the newspaper in her hand and looked at the butler standing beside her. She whispered to him, "Get someone to block the news and prevent it from spreading abroad."
The butler nodded and left quietly.
Wen Lan looked at the newspaper on the table in a daze. She thought for a while and took out her phone to call Luo Xichen.
Luo Xichen had decided to go to Northern Ireland with Sha Zhixing last night. He was packing his things in his room at this time.
He was not surprised to receive her call.
He had guessed that Wen Lan would call when they were surrounded by reporters last night.
"Morning, mom!" He greeted her as if nothing had happened.
There was a moment of silence on Wen Lan's end.
"What's wrong?" Luo Xichen was a little surprised by her reaction.
"Didn't you plan to go to Northern Ireland?" Wen Lan asked slowly after a moment of silence.
"There was an accident at the last minute," Luo Xichen said perfunctorily without explaining the reason directly.
"What accident?" Wen Lan followed up with his question.
Luo Xichen was speechless.
Wen Lan seemed to be silent for a few seconds before she asked, "Was it Zhixing?"
"No!" Luo Xichen denied without hesitation.
"Mom, you know my character. I won't change anything because of someone else!" he added expressionlessly.
"Is that so?" Wen Lan asked instead of answering.
"Mom, this has nothing to do with Zhixing. I'll go to Northern Ireland soon. Don't worry." Luo Xichen did not want Wen Lan to have a bad impression of Sha Zhixing, so he kept his distance from her.
Wen Lan was not with him. She did not know what was going on with him, so she could only give up.
Sha Zhixing came from the end of the corridor and saw that Luo Xichen was on the phone. She did not go in to disturb him. Instead, she stayed at the door and waited quietly.
Luo Xichen saw that she was there. He made up an excuse and quickly ended the call.
"Is it your family?" Sha Zhixing asked tentatively.
"Yes." Luo Xichen nodded.
"Is it because you did not go abroad?" Sha Zhixing asked again.
"It's fine now," Luo Xichen comforted her with a smile. He dragged her suitcase with one hand and held her hand as they walked downstairs.
The white Lamborghini drove straight to the airport after the villa. The Luo family's company in Northern Ireland was in Belfast. When they arrived, the car that Grandfather Luo had sent was already waiting outside the airport.
After picking them up, they drove straight to the Luo family's home in the city.
It was a very ancient manor. The buildings with a strong Chinese style looked very exotic in a place like Europe. The garden was very large and the geographical location was relatively quiet. The buildings in the garden were composed of scattered courtyards. Whether it was the furnishings or the environment, it was full of ancient charm. It was unique, elegant, and noble.
