Chapter 725: Chapter 723: Lackey

"Furthermore, since his elder brother had already turned many of Pavel’s subordinates, even if the bodyguards reported it, someone on that side would intercept it, so he didn’t need to worry at all."

Xu Zhenzhen gently nodded, then slowly began to speak, "Has Zhaozhao... told you about the situation at the villa?"

She worried Lu Zhaozhao would conceal the matter of being targeted by Pavel.

After all, with Song Sinian’s intense possessiveness, if he knew about Pavel’s intentions towards her, he probably wouldn’t let her stay in Pavel’s villa.

Yet now, Lu Zhaozhao was still here, and she was a bit worried that perhaps Lu Zhaozhao hadn’t told them in order to stay.

Xia Wenqing’s actions paused, "Are you talking about Pavel taking an interest in Zhaozhao? The family knows about it, and Song Sinian knows too, so you don’t need to worry."

The mention of this made Xia Wenqing very angry, thinking that Pavel was old enough to be Lu Zhaozhao’s father and he still harbored such despicable thoughts towards her!

However, remembering that Pavel was Xu Zhenzhen’s biological father, he restrained from saying anything too harsh.

Xu Zhenzhen pursed her lips, "I know you might care that he is my biological father, but this person means nothing to me."

He never felt any affection for Pavel; if there was any emotion between them, it was hatred—he despised the man who brought him into this world.

Had she not escaped from there, she likely would not be in this world anymore.

Xu Zhenzhen had no interest in anything related to Pavel, nor did she want to inherit his properties.

If possible, she wished she had never met this man.

Seeing the unpleasant expression on Xu Zhenzhen’s face, Xia Wenqing immediately spoke reassuringly, "I know you don’t want to be associated with him. Pavel is Pavel, you are you, and that’s how my family and I feel."

Unexpecting Xia Wenqing to say this, Xu Zhenzhen was surprised for a moment and could not help but smile slightly, "How lucky must I be to have met you and your family? Maybe all my previous misfortune was saving up luck to meet you?"

"I would prefer you to lead a simple life, without being hurt, and just wait for me to come to you." The thought of the hardships Xu Zhenzhen faced as a child made Xia Wenqing’s heart ache.

This feeling was somewhat similar to the distress he felt for Lu Zhaozhao’s suffering, yet it was different.

Why did his dear sister and lovely wife have to endure so much pain?

Thinking thus, Xia Wenqing reached out and embraced Xu Zhenzhen, "Stay with me from now on, I will absolutely prevent you from getting hurt again, and I won’t let such situations arise ever again, I promise you."

Xu Zhenzhen looked at Xia Wenqing with a bittersweet smile.

He clearly knew that it wasn’t his fault, but he still blamed himself for it.

She looked at Xia Wenqing tenderly, lowered her head and kissed his eyes, "Okay, I believe you. From now on, the baby and I will depend on you."

"Okay!"

His words had just finished when they heard a noisy commotion outside the door; both of them almost instantly became alert and separated, then each sat on opposite sides of the table.

The noise soon approached the door which was then opened by someone.

Xu Zhenzhen frowned slightly, not expecting Pavel to appear before her at this moment. She quickly glanced nervously at Xia Wenqing opposite her, but to avoid giving herself away, she forced herself to look away.

"Why are you here?" Xu Zhenzhen stared at Pavel in confusion, her expression displeased.

Pavel merely glanced at Xu Zhenzhen dismissively before fixing his gaze on Xia Wenqing.

Xia Wenqing immediately stood up and greeted Pavel with an extremely ingratiating smile, "You must be the leader of the Pavlov family. I’ve heard much about you from long ago, and I greatly admire you. I never imagined I would be arranged to meet your daughter; it’s truly a great fortune."

His sycophantic demeanor stunned Xu Zhenzhen; she hadn’t expected Xia Wenqing’s acting to be so convincing.

Pavel glanced at Xu Zhenzhen, interpreting her shocked expression as amazement at his prestigious status.

Xu Zhenzhen had reviewed her prospective match’s background and knew his family was somewhat prominent in Country E, yet his reverence for Pavel surprised her, so his reaction was within Pavel’s expectations.

Pavel even felt a bit proud. He slightly tilted his chin up and said to Xia Wenqing, "Have a seat and talk, how’s the conversation between you two going?"

"Leader, I really like your daughter and hope you will marry her to me! I know I’m not yet worthy, but I will strive to meet your standards," Xia Wenqing played the role of an obsequious suitor to the hilt.

At first, Xu Zhenzhen was a bit nervous, but seeing Pavel revel in the flattery, the corners of her mouth involuntarily twitched.

She put on airs, looking coldly at Pavel, "Didn’t you say I could decide entirely on my own about the matchmaking? Why intervene now?"

Pavel completely ignored Xu Zhenzhen’s words, patting Xia Wenqing on the shoulder and saying, "Young man, I have a good opinion of you. If you can win my daughter’s heart, I’d be happy to marry her to you. So, do your best."

Xia Wenqing nodded repeatedly as if inspired by some great encouragement, his eyes looking fervently at Pavel, "Yes, yes, yes! I’ll listen to everything you say, leader! I won’t let you down."

As he spoke these words, his gaze shifted stealthily toward Xu Zhenzhen.

This made Xu Zhenzhen furrow her brow into a knot once again.

Frankly, she found it hard to imagine Xia Wenqing’s handsome face being so servile toward Pavel.

The look of disdain on her face was very genuine, not because she despised Xia Wenqing, but because she despised the act of using Xia Wenqing’s handsome face to curry favor with Pavel.

She knew Xia Wenqing wouldn’t, but this legendary matchmaking candidate definitely would.

After all, he was an illegitimate son with no real power, so the only opportunity he had was with this matchmaking candidate.

There was nothing wrong with him ingratiating himself with the father of his matchmaking candidate.

Especially when the father was the renowned leader of the Pavlov family.

Xia Wenqing stole a glance at Xu Zhenzhen, seeing that she had not blown his cover. He smiled even more obsequiously at Pavel.

Before arriving, he had thought about what to do if he accidentally met Pavel while posing as any matchmaking candidate.

Although he was not much of an actor, it was manageable with a brother in the entertainment industry and an Oscar-winning partner. Acting came easily to them.
