Chapter 1620: Do you not remember me?
Lou Ziling's heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained calm.""Yes, you can take a few steps, but you can't walk for too long. Miss Zuo is very observant."
Zuo Jia smiled gently, and dimples appeared on her fair cheeks, making her look particularly gentle and beautiful. "Don't misunderstand, I don't mean any harm. I just feel that it's a pity for a person like you to not be able to walk. I want to know the condition of your leg and whether it can be cured. That's all. "
Her voice was so gentle and sincere that Lou Ziling was still on guard against her. However, when she saw how serious she was, she suddenly felt that she was overthinking.
He had been fighting with Li Zhi for too long and thought of people in the worst way. He was more guarded than anyone else and had long forgotten that there was a kind and good side to the world.
Lou Ziling stared at Zuo Jia for a long time. Zuo Jia looked back at him calmly and did not try to avoid his gaze.
"Many thanks!"
"Then can I see your legs? My father knows a lot of famous doctors, maybe they can cure you. "
"No need,"
Lou Ziling refused Zuo Jia's offer and continued to show her around the branch office.
Zuo Jia was pushing Lou Ziling's wheelchair from behind. A trace of doubt flashed across her beautiful eyes.
She lowered her head and looked at Lou Ziling's legs, which were as thick as a normal person 's. She was even more confused than the first time she saw him.
According to common sense, if one's legs were disabled and they didn't move for a long time, the muscles would shrink and the legs would become thin.
But Lou Ziling didn 't.
The smooth muscle lines of his legs could still be vaguely seen under his trousers.
She was getting more and more curious about Lou Ziling's face under the mask.
After visiting the branch office, it was already very late. The company was located in a County in city W, so it would take more than an hour's drive to get back to the city.
"Li Xiao, let's not go back today. We'll stay here. We'll go back after checking your construction site tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll get someone to book a hotel for you. However, the hotels in the county are very ordinary. You might have to make do with it."
"It's fine, as long as it's safe and clean. "
Zuo Jia was very easy to talk to. She didn't have the temper of a rich young lady at all. She was as gentle as an ordinary girl-next-door.
Lou Ziling knew many daughters from influential families, but she had never met anyone like Zuo Jia, who was very easy-going.
She was the kind of girl who could enjoy wealth and glory in peace, but also endure the plain and hard life.
She had many merits, such as a good family background, good temperament, and good looks, but she didn't have a boyfriend.
Lou Ziling had thought that as the mayor's daughter, Zuo Jia would have countless suitors. However, after two days of contact, she didn't seem to have any.
Her life was so peaceful that it was a little dull, without any messy implications.
Lou Ziling treated Zuo Jia to a sumptuous dinner and realized that she was not a picky eater at all. She could eat anything and would finish her own meal.
"You can't order such a set meal next time."
Zuo Jia sipped her lemon tea and said in a low voice.
"What's wrong? is it not good?"
Lou Ziling had already chosen the most expensive restaurant. Since the mayor had sent his daughter here, he naturally had to take care of her and make sure that her three meals were as sumptuous as possible.
"No, it's quite delicious. It's just that you ordered too much. I don't like to waste food, so I ate it all."
Zuo Jia was slightly embarrassed, and her cheeks were slightly flushed."Do you think I ate too much?"
In the past, when she ate with others, they would often be surprised by her amazing appetite. She even got the nickname "little pig Zuo."
Lou Ziling shook her head."No. My fiancée doesn't like to waste food. It's normal."
However, Zuo Jia didn't like to waste food and ate everything herself, while Jing Xi always let Lou Ziling finish the rest.
The blush on Zuo Jia's face slowly disappeared. She hesitated for a while and then asked in a low voice,"I heard that your fiancée's surname is Jing."
Anyone with the slightest bit of knowledge would know what this surname meant.
Lou Ziling's eyes showed a touch of gentleness when she mentioned Jing Xi.""Yes, her surname is Jing. She went back to her parents 'house these two days, so she's not with me."
Zuo Jia looked at the man under the light in a daze.
Lou Ziling took off her mask because she had to eat. The scar on her face looked a little ferocious, which was a strong contrast to his gentle eyes.
"Li Xiao, your scar looks very similar. It's not a problem to lie to ordinary people, but those who study medicine can tell with one look that this isn't a real scar."
Lou Ziling's pupils shrank. He didn't expect Zuo Jia to be so meticulous that she would find out that his scar was fake!
Zuo Jia's next words made Lou Ziling's calm face collapse.
"I felt that you were a little familiar since the first time I saw you. Lou Ziling, you may not remember me, but I have always remembered you. We were junior high school classmates for about half a year and we even sat at the same table."
Zuo Jia's voice was still soft as if she was just stating a fact. She didn't realize that her words would make Lou Ziling want to kill her.
Lou Ziling couldn't remember the existence of Zuo Jia. Although he had a good memory, he would forget people and things that he didn't care about.
His expression turned cold,"what do you want?" What does Mayor Zuo want?"
"No, no, no. Ziling, don't misunderstand. I don't want anything. My father doesn't know your identity either!"
Zuo Jia explained anxiously,"I was just happy to meet you. I've been wondering if you were him. I only confirmed it tonight." I won't say anything, I just want you to be well!"
In fact, she had just confirmed it. She just called Lou Ziling's name to test him. She didn't expect him to admit it without denying it.
However, she didn't dare to say that. Lou Ziling's temper had always been bad. Now, he looked even colder than when he was young. Zuo Jia didn't want to annoy him.
There were too many people in the dining room, so it was not a good place to talk. Lou Ziling took a deep breath and said,""Let's go to the hotel. "
He didn't want to stay in a hotel, but he had no choice now.
There was no one at home when he went home anyway. Jing Xi was not at home, so he did not even have the desire to go home. He would rather stay in a hotel than live alone in the gloomy Li family manor.
Lou Ziling brought Zuo Jia to the best hotel in the county. He didn't go to his own room. Instead, he went to Zuo Jia's room.
"Miss Zuo, I hope you can keep this a secret. If my identity gets out, your parents will be heartbroken."
Zuo Jia was a little sad. She reached out her hand to touch Lou Ziling's face, but he was giving off a cold aura that kept people away. She retracted her hand halfway.
"You don't remember me at all?"
