Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When everything returned to silence, it was almost dawn.
Even though the cold wind outside was chilly, this was the first night in so many years that Zhou Zimo felt at ease.
He had waited for this moment for far too long.
“Sleep… Qin Su… I’ve always loved you to this day and will continue to do so forever…”
He looked at her sleeping face under the dim light. After taking a deep breath, he suddenly pulled her into his embrace and said in a low voice.
Qin Su, who had fallen asleep, naturally did not know that Zhou Zimo had said these rare words to her.
…
The next morning, Zhou Zimo woke up very early. For the entire night, he did not have much rest, but he was in good spirits.
After packing up, he went downstairs to prepare breakfast. Seeing that it was almost time, he decided to go upstairs to wake Qin Su up. However, before he could go upstairs, he heard footsteps coming from upstairs.
He suddenly raised his head and saw that Qin Su had already walked down.
She was still wearing the capable uniform of a prosecutor. Her hair was tied up, and she was holding a hat and a briefcase in her hand. Her cold beauty made Zhou Zimo’s breathing tighten again.
He carefully observed her expression, but he found that she was still as calm as ever. Her expression was as if nothing had happened.
When she saw Zhou Zimo, she paused for a moment. She looked at him for a moment, then lowered her eyes and slowly went downstairs.
“Good morning.”
The first to speak was Qin Su. Her tone was also very calm, not much different from before.
Zhou Zimo listened and turned to look at her. Seeing that she was already sitting at the dining table, silently taking her breakfast, he followed her and sat down.
“I might be late tonight. I’ll be going back to the military compound to get some information from my Father.”
“Okay, I’ll apply for leave then. The weather should be fine for the next two days. Let’s take the wedding photos first. The wedding is approaching, we won’t be able to make it in time if it’s later.”
Zhou Zimo heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He was worried that she might be unhappy because of what happened last night.
But now, it seemed that she had silently accepted this fact.
Qin Su raised her head and looked at him. After some thought, she nodded, “Okay.”
“Do you have any requirements for the wedding?”
Zhou Zimo thought for a moment before asking again.
“Make the arrangements. I don’t know anything about this. My parents will take care of the guest list. I’ll just invite a few comrades over. Try to keep it simple. It’s quite busy towards the end of the year.”
Qin Su’s answer was rather straightforward.
“You can’t have no requirements at all? The more you say that, the more uncertain I feel.”
Zhou Zimo poured her some milk as he said this.
“I didn’t say anything last night, yet you put in a lot of effort, didn’t you?”
Qin Su gave him a disapproving glance. In Zhou Zimo’s eyes, there were only a few words that appeared in Zhou Zimo’s mind—
A wolf in sheep’s skin?
However, it was true that he was a little unrestrained.
Thinking of this, he coughed lightly. His handsome face was slightly red as he hurriedly said, “I drank a little too much. I’m usually very courteous, you know that.”
“I’ve never seen the word ‘courteous’ in you. Don’t think that I know nothing about your actions. I’m just too lazy to investigate.”
Qin Su did not give him any face and exposed his words. She gave him a cold glance.
As she spoke, she lowered her head and continued to enjoy her breakfast.
Zhou Zimo was stunned for a moment and narrowed his eyes at her. “In your eyes, is my image so unsightly?”
“What do you think? Since you’ve said so yourself, I can make one request.”
Qin Su thought for a moment before continuing, “I hope that you can give me a wedding instead of the media or the business circle. There’s no need for a big banquet in the hotel.”
With Qin Su bringing this up, Zhou Zimo finally thought of her ident.i.ty. Recently, their circle had been quite interested in this area.
After thinking for a while, he replied, “Okay, I got it. Don’t worry, of course I’ll do as you say.”
…
Zhou Zimo was very concerned about Qin Su’s matter. He quickly settled everything in a hurry. Of course, he did not hesitate either. He pulled Qi Lei to help the Qin family with the betrothal, and then the wedding preparations began.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Liuyun was not idle either. After Song Siting joined Dongfang Group, the undercurrents within the company became more and more intense, especially because of a recent acquisition. The various shareholders were quarrelling with each other.
Lan Xiu’s side had already completely given up on Mr. Ge’s plan. They were currently reformulating the plan, and it was a huge loss for them. Fortunately, Lan Xiu had already found a new business partner, but…
“Manager Yun, this is the information from the Lan Group. Take a look!”
Secretary Ding walked into Dongfang Liuyun’s office with a solemn expression, holding a doc.u.ment. She startled Dongfang Liuyun who was deep in her work.
Dongfang Liuyun frowned and looked up as well. She took the doc.u.ment from Secretary Ding and flipped through it.
The more she read, the more she frowned—
“What’s going on? Isn’t this the proposal that Lan Xiu just came up with? How did Mr. Ge get this proposal? Lan Xiu has to discuss the collaboration with the new partner in the next two days!”
Dongfang Liuyun’s small face darkened.
“I’m also surprised because of this. This doc.u.ment was sent by a.s.sistant Ah Li. I’m afraid there’s a mole on boss Lan’s side. There’s one more thing. Manager Yun, the opponent of the Ponzi acquisition that you asked me to investigate previously seems to be Mr. Ge’s masterpiece.”
Secretary Ding said with some doubt, “I don’t remember when Mr. Ge got involved in the jewelry business. Manager Yun, should we…”
Dongfang Liuyun stood up slowly. After thinking for a long time, she replied, “Continue to investigate and see who Mr. Ge has been in contact with recently. Find out as soon as possible. I need to go to the Lan Group.”
After saying that, Dongfang Liuyun had already grabbed a coat and put it on. She grabbed the car keys and left the office, heading straight for Lan Xiu’s office.
…
The situation on Lan Xiu’s side was quite bad.
When Ah Li pushed the door open, Lan Xiu’s back was facing him. He stood in front of the French window, his thin back looking a little lonely…
The repeated blows caused this man to lose a lot of weight. At this moment, when Ah Li saw that there was a cigarette burning between his fingers, he could not help but feel a little heartache.
He had rarely smoked before, so why did he light up more frequently these days.
“President Lan!”
Ah Li walked over and cautiously called out.
“You’re taking matters into your own hands too much, Ah Li.”
As soon as Ah Li finished speaking, Lan Xiu’s cold voice was heard…
