After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 702 - 700 I Am the Second Brother
Chapter 702: Chapter 700 I Am the Second Brother
As she spoke these words, she almost clenched her back teeth.
Her gaze towards Pavel was as if she wanted to devour him.
Pavel seemed quite pleased with Xu Zhenzhen’s current expression.
The corners of his mouth curled, "Rest assured, I will keep my promise as long as you obediently listen to me."
"..."
Seeing Xu Zhenzhen fall into silence again, Pavel simply sat down beside her on the couch.
"Did you hear clearly what I just told you?"
He propped his arm on one side of the couch, slanting his face to look at Xu Zhenzhen.
When Xu Zhenzhen had escaped from the Pavlov Family before, he hadn’t cared much, but now, thinking back, her timidity had ironically become her life-saving charm.
Pavel hadn’t expected that all his hopes would have to rely on such a timid person.
This contradiction made Pavel somewhat annoyed.
Xu Zhenzhen glanced coldly at Pavel, "Whether I listen clearly or not, you will arrange for me to meet the person you’ve selected. What does it matter if I hear clearly or not?"
Pavel’s face immediately darkened, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Xu Zhenzhen speak again, "There’s no need to threaten me with Lu Zhaozhao anymore. I have already agreed to go, and I will. It’s best if you just leave and stop being an eyesore."
"..."
Pavel was clearly choked by Xu Zhenzhen’s words.
His eyebrows furrowed, and he couldn’t find a reason to lose his temper anymore.
Yet, inside, he bristled with anger at Xu Zhenzhen.
According to his temperament, those who angered him were usually in for a severe lashing.
But Xu Zhenzhen was his last child, and he couldn’t have any more, so even if he disliked her, he couldn’t vent his anger on her.
He knew that Xu Zhenzhen had always been timid; if he truly scared her to death, the trouble would ultimately be his own.
Pavel slowly stood up, withdrawing his gaze, "You’d best do as you’ve said and obediently meet the suitor."
"..."
The response to Pavel was still Xu Zhenzhen’s silence.
Pavel, not wanting to make a fool of himself, simply left.
Only then did Xu Zhenzhen secretly breathe a sigh of relief, grateful that Pavel hadn’t suspected anything.
He probably overestimated himself so much that he could so easily disregard her, right?
Xu Zhenzhen suddenly felt a bit fortunate that she had always been seen as useless in his eyes.
Otherwise, it would have been difficult for her to act mischievously.
Thinking this, Xu Zhenzhen’s gaze returned to the television.
She knew that after agreeing to it, Pavel would immediately start arranging the suitors.
It seemed like he was giving her a choice, but in reality, these men were all selected by him beforehand. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Knowing she was Pavel’s only child, they would surely be eager to curry favor.
So Xu Zhenzhen had no interest in them whatsoever.
Originally, she had wanted to use this status to take advantage of them upon meeting.
But now that she had already established contact with Lu Zhaozhao and the others, Xu Zhenzhen felt completely indifferent about the upcoming meeting.
She simply lay down on the couch and slowly closed her eyes.
She just had to wait obediently, and someone would naturally wake her up for breakfast and to get dressed.
Sure enough, before long, a servant came in, bringing a multitude of clothes, shoes, and bags.
There was even a professional makeup team.
Xu Zhenzhen simply sneered at the notion and was about to refuse when she saw someone wink at her.
She was momentarily stunned before she realized that it was Lu Zhaozhao in disguise.
Although her appearance wasn’t as striking as before, those clear, bright eyes could not be someone else’s.
Xu Zhenzhen instantly felt much more at ease.
She resigned herself to sitting still, letting them fuss over her as they wished.
An hour later, Xu Zhenzhen felt she was about to fall asleep, when the people dressing her up finally left.
Following Pavel’s instructions, she went with the driver to a high-end café.
Looking at the café’s décor, Xu Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow, her gaze shifting to the outside.
Aside from a bodyguard who had followed the car, there was only the driver.
Xu Zhenzhen was somewhat incredulous; how much was Pavel underestimating her?
But then she thought, he currently believed he had captured her important friend, so she definitely wouldn’t make a secret escape.
Xu Zhenzhen couldn’t help but curl her lip; if Lu Zhaozhao truly were in his hands, she indeed wouldn’t run away, but she wouldn’t meekly accept her fate either.
Pavel had underestimated her.
She took a deep breath, glanced at the bodyguard, and said, "Fine, you just wait here. I’ll return after meeting with the person."
The bodyguard hesitated, "Miss, the leader said you can spend some time with this gentleman to foster some affection."
If possible, it would be best for them to get intimate in a hotel room.
But these words, he didn’t dare speak.
He was supposed to convey all of the leader’s message to Xu Zhenzhen, but seeing her eyes suddenly sharpen, he swallowed half the words he was about to say.
The leader had only said if possible... well, if she didn’t go, that shouldn’t be a problem, right?
The bodyguard comforted himself internally and decisively chose to abandon the words he was about to utter.
Xu Zhenzhen’s eyebrows arching, glanced at the bodyguard’s hesitation, and without another word, pushed the door open and entered the café’s private room.
She cast a faint glance at the person, then sat down opposite him, "You should be aware of my identity."
Xu Zhenzhen gave the person a look, continuing, "Just sit here quietly, and I’ll let you out when it’s time."
The person on the other side chuckled, "Miss Xu, I’m afraid I might not be able to comply with your wishes."
Xu Zhenzhen visibly froze for a second— that voice...
She looked up at the person across from her, who indeed matched the photograph given by Pavel.
She pursed her lips, suppressing the surprise in her eyes, and said coldly, "If you can’t comply with my wishes, then I certainly won’t comply with yours! You’d better consider what you really want."
"What I want, of course, is you, Zhenzhen. I am your second brother," the man opposite her sighed helplessly, "But this makeup skill, it’s really tricky to recognize."
Xu Zhenzhen’s eyes suddenly widened at the familiar voice and his gentle expression.
She could no longer hold back, and her eyes began to redden once again.
Xia Wenqing moved hurriedly forward, embracing Xu Zhenzhen, "This is why they didn’t let me see you; they feared you’d be too agitated, and they also feared I wouldn’t have the heart to let you go. So, Zhenzhen, don’t cry anymore, or I truly won’t be able to bear you leaving me."
Xu Zhenzhen was amused by his earnest expression.
Xia Wenqing saw her cry and laugh, kissed her forehead, and was just about to kiss her lips, but Xu Zhenzhen blocked him with her hand.
"Don’t kiss me; otherwise, I always feel like I’m cheating on you right in front of your face..."
