Zhou Zimo glanced at her thoughtfully and coughed lightly. He also increased the speed of the car slightly.
“I’m doing this because we’re good friends. Don’t tell me you’re going to gauge the heart of a gentleman with one’s own mean measure?”
After some thought, Zhou Zimo asked again.
“Do you think you’re a gentleman?”
Qin Su frowned and glanced at him. There was actually a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, which made Zhou Zimo unhappy. He hurriedly said, “Officer Qin Su, I think you have a prejudice against me. What did I do to offend you? Why do you always dislike me? I’m not a lecher. I’m still a gentleman, right?”
“The word ‘unruly’ is in your bones. Do you know what it means to be a gentleman?”
Qin Su frowned even more. “Besides, I won’t target anyone. I appreciate your kindness. Thank you, but not taking advantage of others is a form of upbringing. I don’t have the habit of reciprocating others.”
“A person like you isn’t suitable to be an official, do you know? Not taking advantage of others when reciprocating?”
Zhou Zimo glanced at her helplessly, “I don’t mean anything by that. It’s good to live an open and honest life, but it’s not good if you don’t understand some of the ways of the world. Now that you’ve come out to mingle, it’s not like you’re in the army anymore. How about you come over and be my a.s.sistant secretary, I promise to give you ten times your current salary, or even higher. With me protecting you, you can do whatever you want. How about that?”
Zhou Zimo’s low voice was filled with temptation, but the black eyes that looked over were filled with sincerity.
Hearing this, Qin Su also looked over. However, her expression was a little cold, and his gaze carried a cold and sharp aura. Zhou Zimo could not help but tremble slightly as she looked at him.
“I just feel exhausted on your behalf. There’s nothing good about the prosecutor’s office. There’s no freedom, and you’ll be working till late.” Zhou Zimo explained.
“I don’t have the habit of depending on others. Thank you for your kind intentions.”
With these words, Zhou Zimo’s words were once again refuted.
Zhou Zimo felt a little helpless. This woman did not know anything about the sly ways of the world, she seemed very aloof and antisocial, but her thoughts were very pure. If it was not for her astonishing persistence, it would be very easy for such a person to suffer losses if she went out.
She was so stubborn and like an iceberg. He was already starting to worry about her getting along with others at work in the future.
A person like her should not be suppressed and controlled by others. Working in an establishment was not as rigid as working in the army. She would be at a disadvantage if she did not know a little about the ways of the world.
“Qin Su, I don’t have any other intentions. I’m just a little worried about you. You can think that I have ulterior motives, but I really don’t have any other intentions. We’ve known each other for so long, have I ever schemed against you?”
Zhou Zimo thought for a while before speaking in a low voice.
Hearing this, Qin Su quieted down. After thinking for a moment, she said faintly, “I don’t mean anything by it. I just want to rely on myself. I don’t want to owe others too much. I want to live a more carefree life.”
“Who said that? You don’t owe anyone anything. Right now, I owe you.”
Zhou Zimo said as he looked at her with a complicated gaze—
If she knew about what happened back then, would she..
“You don’t have to think too much. After being alone for a long time, you’ll feel that it doesn’t matter. You should change the way you live. You haven’t answered me about that matter. Since you didn’t say anything after that, I’ll take it as your acquiescence. From now on, you’re my girlfriend.”
Zhou Zimo thought for a moment and suddenly felt that perhaps he should not wait pa.s.sively for her decision. After all, he had done enough shameless things because of her. He did not care about this one time. After all, as long as he could get her, everything else did not matter anymore.
It had been so many years, and only she could make him do this willingly. He could not tell if it was because he felt guilty for getting her so shamelessly back then and wanted to make it up to her, or if it was because he was deeply attracted to her that he could not let go of her and had fallen in love with her.
However, in Zhou Zimo’s eyes, all of this was not important. What was important was that he wanted to marry her.
Sometimes, just thinking about how she would marry another man in the future and be owned by another man, he could not quite take it!
Therefore, he did not intend to let go of her.
When Zhou Zimo said this, Qin Su was stunned for a moment. Her beautiful eyebrows subconsciously tightened as if she did not know how to reject or answer..
“I’m very sincere. If you don’t hate me, I think it’s good to give each other a chance. We’re not young anymore, Qin Su.”
When Zhou Zimo said this, his tone was very low.
“What if we’re really not suitable? I personally don’t think highly of us, it’s a waste of time and energy.”
“Do you think you’ll fall in love with me?” Zhou Zimo asked directly.
Qin Su paused and said coldly, “The chances are very little.”
“That’s enough then. How would you know if you don’t try? If you really don’t want to continue later on, you won’t have any losses. At most, it’ll be me who’s sad. No matter what, I won’t let you be taken advantage of.” Zhou Zimo said decisively.
Qin Su remained silent. For a moment, she could not answer. She could only turn her head and look out of the car window.
The street lights outside had long been lit up, and there were quite a number of pedestrians walking by. The dim street lights continued to penetrate into the car, and mottled afterimages constantly flashed across her face. Suddenly, she felt a little dazed.
Seeing this, Zhou Zimo did not say anything to disturb her. Instead, he quietly drove the car.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became a little oppressive, and there was an indescribable faint gloominess in the air.
Qin Su took a deep breath and quietly leaned back into the chair behind her. She quietly closed her eyes, and her expression seemed to become a little complicated. She did not know how long she took to calm down, but her hoa.r.s.e voice came over—
“I don’t want to play the love game. I can’t afford to waste time.”
“I’m serious. Otherwise, if you’re willing to marry me immediately, I’d be willing to marry you. I know you can’t accept it, so I hope that we can go with the order. Qin Su, you know very well how I am.”
Zhou Zimo said it very bluntly.
“There are three conditions.”
Qin Su thought for a long time and then said this.
Hearing this, Zhou Zimo’s black eyes instantly lit up, and he looked at her with some joy—
“Say it, I’ll agree to anything you say!”
He replied very generously.
Qin Su lowered her eyes and sorted out her thoughts before continuing, “First, the time limit for our relationship is half a year. After half a year, if there’s still no feelings between us, then we break up and stop wasting each other’s time.”
Half a year?
Zhou Zimo immediately frowned and thought for a moment before replying, “One year!”
“If I say half a year, then it means half a year.”
