Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After sending Song Siting back to Tanshan Villa area, the couple did not stop and went straight back to Grand Lake Villa area.
At this time, the sky had already fallen silent. The winter solstice had already pa.s.sed, and the sky was getting colder and colder. The sky was getting dark very quickly. It was only around five o’clock, and the sky was already a little gray. The cold wind was still blowing.
When Qi Lei called Zhou Zimo and asked him to come over as a guest at night, Zhou Zimo was rushing back to the Zhou family’s old residence with Qin Su.
The driver was Zhou Zimo, and Qin Su was sitting in the pa.s.senger seat at the side. She was playing with her phone in her hand, but her gaze was on the street scenery on both sides of the car window.
“Go to your place? Why the sudden invite?”
Zhou Zimo picked up the call. He was naturally surprised by Qi Lei’s sudden invitation.
“How then? Are you coming? I’m cooking personally and I’m in a hurry to rest. Let’s have a few drinks at home. Su Chen will be coming over, and two more friends.”
Qi Lei was busy in the kitchen as he called Zhou Zimo.
“You guys sure know how to pick the time. I have something to do, so I won’t go over. I’ll look for you in two days.”
“What is it? Aren’t you always the most active at this time?” Qi Lei asked with some doubt.
“I don’t have time for nonsense with you. Let’s not talk about it anymore. I really have something to do. Let’s talk about it later. I’m driving.” Zhou Zimo replied and then hung up the phone.
After hearing the silence in the car, Qin Su retracted her gaze and turned to look at Zhou Zimo. After some thought, she said plainly, “If you’re busy, we can do this tomorrow.”
“Qin Su, this is all you’ve got. It seems like you’ve found at least three reasons to avoid it today.”
As soon as Qin Su said this, Zhou Zimo immediately shot her a look. His handsome face also had some displeasure. “I’m not selling you off, what are you worried about? My family isn’t a man-eating tiger. Even if they’re man-eating tigers, you’re not afraid, right?”
“Why didn’t I realize that you were quite talkative in the past? Just one sentence from me, and you can respond with ten sentences.”
Qin Su also frowned and looked at Zhou Zimo as she said indifferently.
Zhou Zimo coughed lightly and blinked. “If you asked me to talk so much to others, I’d be lazy. Officer Qin Su, you’re not romantic at all.”
“What do you mean by romantic?” Qin Su asked in return.
“You’re only this angry at me. You treat others much better than you treat me. I’m your real boyfriend now. I’m going to be your fiancé soon.”
Zhou Zimo glanced at her aggrievedly and increased the speed of the car.
Hearing this, Qin Su frowned and immediately narrowed her eyes at Zhou Zimo—
“Fiancé? When did I agree to be with you?”
“Isn’t that so? We’re already in a relationship, in fact we live together. When I went to your house last night, your parents were very happy to talk about our future with me. Didn’t you see that after we got together, the relationship between your parents became much better? You have the heart! If you don’t want to marry me, who else can I marry? Everyone knows that we’re living together now. In the entire City Z, as long as I, Zhou Zimo, don’t say anything, I don’t believe that anyone would dare to marry you, a woman with my label on.”
When Zhou Zimo said this, he even gave Qin Su a very innocent and cheap smile. He even looked shy, and his handsome face was slightly red.
Qin Su immediately wanted to slap him!
She felt that agreeing to move to his place back then was definitely a huge mistake. She had underestimated Zhou Zimo’s ulterior motives!
“You’re really scheming.”
Qin Su gritted her teeth at this moment.
“It doesn’t matter if you call me despicable or shameless. I don’t want to watch you get married before I regret it. You know what I’m thinking about you. It’s not just a matter of a day or two. You can spend the rest of your life with me.”
Zhou Zimo could not be bothered to be pretentious. If he liked her, he liked her. Now, he wanted to bring her under his wing and do his best to have her. Since he could not be moved by other women, he had to accept it.
“Your ability to give yourself to me is useless.”
Qin Su’s face was cold. Although she knew that he had deep feelings for her, this method made her feel a little helpless.
“Whether it works or not, we’ll only know after we try. Haven’t we been fine these past few days? Can’t you treat me a little better? Look, just looking at you act like this, I can see my heart bleeding.”
Zhou Zimo’s glib tongue was not something Qin Su could withstand.
“Don’t push your luck, have I not treated you well enough, did you go cold and hungry this morning? Haven’t I been making breakfast these past few days? When I see the way you act like a good-for-nothing, I feel uncomfortable all over.”
Qin Su definitely did not like Zhou Zimo. If it were not for the fact that he treated her quite well, Qin Su thought that she might not have been able to persist until now. She was a very pa.s.sive person to begin with.
“There’s no such thing as being a good-for-nothing. I’ve always been a gentleman, okay?”
Zhou Zimo naturally did not admit it and argued, “When I go out, don’t I display my gentlemanly demeanor to the best of my ability?”
Qin Su could only ignore this guy’s narcissistic ability.
“When we’re still together, I know that you’ve been accommodating me. As long as it’s not a matter of principle, I’m fine with it. Just be yourself. There’s no need to change anything.” Qin Su thought for a moment and suddenly said this.
That’s right, Zhou Zimo seemed to be accommodating her these days. For example, the dishes he cooked were all to her taste. He knew that she liked those simple landscape paintings, and he even specially changed the paintings in the living room into those simple and elegant landscape paintings, he changed the fresh magnolia flowers in her study, and even his study…
Many things were still going on. Qin Su was a very observant person. She could naturally see and feel such changes.
His intentions moved her a little. Otherwise, she would not have agreed to visit the Zhou family’s old residence. Qin Su was very clear about what this meant.
“Who’s accommodating you now? I suddenly find that I like the things you like. Don’t think too much. I’m not the kind of person who would compromise himself. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have refused to give up on you.”
As Zhou Zimo spoke, he gave Qin Su a very pure smile.
Qin Su heard this and shot him a lukewarm glance. She said coldly—
“Can’t you come up with some other metaphor?”
“Count it as a slip of the tongue. I’ll reflect on it.”
Seeing that her expression had eased up, Zhou Zimo heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. His handsome face also showed some gentleness—
“Don’t worry. Don’t feel pressured. Grandfather and the others are very easygoing.”
