Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After a round of conversation, when the father and daughter came back to their senses, it was already past two o’clock in the afternoon. They were not going to make it for lunch.
Dongfang Liuyun closed the doc.u.ment in her hand, took her cell phone and car keys from the side, looked at her father who was flipping through the doc.u.ment and said—
“Put down the doc.u.ment. Let’s go have afternoon tea, father!”
Dongfang Gan stopped what he was doing and looked at Dongfang Liuyun. Naturally, he agreed readily.
…
Zhou Zimo did not expect Su Chen to come looking for him.
He had been hiding for quite a while, and there were some things that had been piling up at the company. In addition, the old man at home had not been feeling well recently, so he rushed home to take care of the old man for a few days. Now that it was the weekend, he did not have time to rest, he came to the company early in the morning to deal with the pile of work.
“Why did you suddenly come to visit me out of the blue?”
Zhou Zimo brewed two cups of tea and walked over. He looked at Su Chen with some doubt. Zhou Zimo’s voice echoed in the luxurious and grand office. Su Chen, on the other hand, was sitting leisurely on the sofa, flipping through a magazine in his hand.
“I just came from your house. Grandpa Zhou’s health doesn’t seem to be in good shape. He said that if you don’t find him a granddaughter-in-law, he’ll be in the hospital soon. Don’t you have anything to say?”
As Su Chen spoke, he put down the magazine in his hand and took the tea. He took a simple sip and asked.
Hearing this, Zhou Zimo could not help but feel helpless. He said in a low voice, “I know. In the past, I thought he was just pretending. But this time, I personally took care of him for a few days before I realized…”
“It’s good that you know. You should think about it carefully. After all, you’re really not young anymore. I didn’t want to bring up those things to you because I don’t want to dig up your scars, but there are some things that you can only choose to forget once it’s pa.s.sed. It can only be said that fate is not your cup of tea. No matter how you think about it, it’s useless. I don’t want you to compare the past with the present. There are many outstanding women out there. Without this one, there is still the next one waiting for you. Do you understand?”
At this moment, Su Chen looked at Zhou Zimo with some disappointment. His heart was filled with helplessness…
“Ah Chen said that among us brothers, you are actually the most easygoing person. However, from the looks of it, you are also the one who likes to get into a dead end. If you continue to be like this, I think you wouldn’t find the true love of your life.”
“True love? What is true love? Don’t tell me that I still have the chance to talk about true love at my age! Are you kidding me?”
Zhou Zimo looked at Su Chen disapprovingly. After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment before continuing, “I don’t want to think too much about it now. Since it’s already like this, I don’t dare to think about matters of love anymore. If I’m forced to find a woman to marry, I can only find one that is suitable for marriage. I don’t have the time to think about these personal matters anymore.”
Su Chen listened and could not help but glance at him, disagreeing, “Alright, we’ll talk about it when the time comes, you might fall in love with someone, when the time comes, you won’t be able to say such a definite thing. Ah Chen’s suggestion, you can consider it. Seeing that you’re a spiritual person, it’s really too difficult for you to find a woman whose soul is compatible with yours. It’s normal for a man to have a few female confidants. If you can’t bear to part with these…”
“F *ck off, do you think I’m the same type of person as you? I, Zhou Zimo, have always been a good person and never messed around. Can those vulgar cosmetics make me fall for them? You’re the one with female confidants! Don’t think that you can lecture me just because your relations.h.i.+p with Ji Zitong is harmonious. I know all about your first times!”
Zhou Zimo glared at Su Chen in anger.
Su Chen’s handsome face changed when he heard this. He cleared his throat and could not hide the awkwardness on his face—
“You have to forget about this. Otherwise, I, your brother, will break off relations with you, do you hear me?”
“You know shame too? If you doubt me again in the future, I’m definitely not afraid of exposing these scandals to Ji Zitong! You act like a pure and innocent virgin, but in fact, the most boring person is you, Su Chen!”
Zhou Zimo glanced at Su Chen wickedly, his gaze stopping on a certain part of Su Chen.
“Alright, now your entire body is filled with a strong scent of perverted hormones. Zhou Zimo, I’m speaking to you very strictly now, I’m not telling any dirty jokes!”
Su Chen knew Zhou Zimo’s personality well, at this moment, he began to protest with some dissatisfaction.
“Keep pretending! Even if I really want to do this, I don’t necessarily have the resources. Otherwise, you can introduce me to the most beautiful female traffic police officer in your station. I might consider it.”
“You’re still as shallow as before. Do you think that a beautiful woman is really suitable for you?”
“You also know my character, Zhou Zimo. A woman will either choose someone with good character and good looks, or choose someone with good looks and not much abilities. In any case, there has to be something about her that I want to explore. Otherwise, why would I be so patient and stay with a person whom I have no feelings for?”
“Since when are you such a shallow person?” Su Chen frowned and asked.
“What I said is just the truth. What kind of foundation do you think a marriage without feelings is built on? In my opinion, it is definitely a condition! Ask yourself what do you think about your marriage with Ji Zitong?”
Su Chen was stunned when Zhou Zimo said this. He then seriously considered Zhou Zimo’s words. After thinking for a long time, he finally said—
“You might not really understand me and Zitong now. At least, I like her now.”
Su Chen did not hesitate to reveal his feelings for Ji Zitong. “She’s the first woman I really like, and she’ll be the last.”
“Don’t be too sure. How do you explain the art teacher from before then?”
“It’s purely appreciation. Don’t make things more complicated for me. You and Ah Chen know best what those things are like. Alright, Zimo, listen to me. Don’t think about those things anymore. Let yourself go and pursue a new life.”
Su Chen did not tell Zhou Zimo. Through his investigation, he already knew that a certain someone did not seem to be very happy after getting married. Recently, she seemed to be in the midst of a divorce. who could guarantee that she would not come back?
He was really afraid that this silly boy, Zhou Zimo, would fall head over heels for her again. So, now, he had to make sure this guy had no way out. That way, he would not have too many choices!
