After Zhou Zimo said this, Qin Su cast him a disapproving look, followed by a faint tone—
“I didn’t feel that nervous at first, it was you who insisted on saying that I was under pressure.”
After saying this, Zhou Zimo raised his eyebrows and supported his forehead with his hand. “Alright, then I’ll take it as me worrying over nothing. I’ve underestimated your courage and boldness, Officer Qin Su.”
Qin Su could not be bothered with him. Seeing that the car was too quiet, she reached out to turn on the car’s player and switched to the broadcast channel. The song on demand was a very old song—
‘I really love you’
Qin Su suddenly remembered when she was a student. In the school’s broadcast, this song was often played by the uncle in the broadcast room. In the past, there were many people who liked or liked this song, but they did not know that this song was actually a tribute song for their mother.
Zhou Zimo glanced at her and saw that her expression was calm. He wanted to switch to another song, but Qin Su suddenly reached out to stop him…
“Don’t stop it.”
Zhou Zimo paused for a moment and then stopped what he was doing.
“Why? Do you like this song?” Zhou Zimo asked.
Qin Su took a deep breath and said, “It sounds interesting, doesn’t it? Although my parents didn’t get married because of love, they were actually very good to me. It’s just that I don’t quite understand how they got along with each other.”
“Can you tell me the story of Uncle and Aunty?” Zhou Zimo thought for a moment and asked this question.
He knew that the reason she was like this was largely because of Qin Yi and Mei Xiaoyue’s marriage and love life. In fact, Zhou Zimo felt sorry for her. Compared to her, he was much luckier.
“I don’t know much about their relationship either. I think I heard my mother say that her marriage with my father was decided very hastily. She used to have a lover too. My father probably s.n.a.t.c.hed her away. Their marriage was mostly because of my father’s dominance and the arrangements at home. You know, back then, most of the times things were like that. They didn’t have any feelings at all. It was almost like they were forced to accept a stranger into their lives.”
“I don’t know either. What’s the point of living like this? Whether it’s happiness or not, they had to gamble their entire lives.”
Qin Su seemed to have a very negative and pessimistic view on the topic of marriage.
“Marriage is a gamble to begin with. You wouldn’t have only found out today. Besides, we’re different from them. Qin Su, we’ve known each other for many years. Unlike Chen and Xiaye, and unlike your parents, I’ve been looking for you all these years. You know this better than anyone. No matter what, in my heart, you’re still an insurmountable hurdle.”
Zhou Zimo steadily controlled the speed of the car as he spoke.
“Insurmountable hurdle? I don’t think you’re the kind of person who would repay kindness with grat.i.tude. Why are you still willing to give yourself to me?” Qin Su glanced at him and said indifferently.
“That’s because I previously…” Zhou Zimo hurriedly explained. However, he had just spat out these few words when he held back—
He almost could not control himself and said it out loud!
If she knew that he had already slept with her previously, his life would probably be over soon. This matter had to be controlled. It would not be too late to talk about it after he married her, or it might never be brought up.
“Because of what?”
After waiting for a long time and not hearing Zhou Zimo continue, Qin Su asked out loud.
“It’s nothing, because I didn’t have the chance before. It wasn’t easy for me to wait for you to come back. Of course, I won’t put myself through trouble.”
Zhou Zimo dealt with her in this way.
Someone as sharp as Qin Su could naturally hear something was odd, but she did not ask much.
…
When they arrived at the Zhou family’s old residence, they saw someone standing at the door to welcome them from afar.
It was Zhou Zhenjun, Liang Jing and her husband, as well as the housekeeper and servant.
When they saw Zhou Zimo’s car approaching, the couple’s faces were filled with joy.
“Old Zhou, do you think Miss Qin is really not bad? I’m a little nervous. Look at how I’m dressed, I don’t look like a wicked mother-in-law, right? Also, I should look quite amiable today, right?”
This was the first time Liang Jing was meeting Qin Su, so she was naturally a little excited. Zhou Zimo was already thirty-four, and this was the first time he had brought his girlfriend home. She had been looking forward to this for countless years!
Now, it had finally come true. She had gotten up so early in the morning, and she had even taken a leave of absence to personally go out to buy ingredients. She had even asked Zhou Zimo about Qin Su’s tastes and prepared the dishes that Qin Su liked.
Listening to his wife’s muttering, Zhou Zhenjun also turned his head to look at her. He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, “You don’t have to act too much. Just be normal. Such enthusiasm, be careful not to scare Qin Su. She’s usually very quiet and doesn’t like to talk much. You better be smart later. Also, Qin Su is very beautiful, don’t get all infatuated later. It’s hard to say with your behavior. You might keep staring at her.”
Chief Zhou’s voice sounded like a warning, which made Liang Jing unhappy—
“What do you mean infatuated? I’d only be infatuated with those young guys, right? What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Do you think I don’t know you? Isn’t that just how you are? Both you and your son are like this. You judge people by their appearance and ignore those who aren’t pretty. Back then, I knew that our kid was 100% in love with Qin Su.” Zhou Zhenjun glanced at Liang Jing and said.
“According to what you said, this Qin Su is really as beautiful as a fairy? Sigh, if you ask me, it seems that those handsome and beautiful young men were all handed over to the country. Look, you were also quite handsome before.”
“You don’t think I’m handsome anymore now?”
Chief Zhou seemed to be very dissatisfied with his wife’s words. As he spoke, he even glared at Liang Jing.
“You’re just a big and boorish man now. How can you be as handsome and unrestrained as you were back then? The more mature one is, the more profound and elegant they are, who’d be like you?”
Liang Jing mercilessly poked Chief Zhou’s sore spot.
“How am I not refined and elegant? When I’m usually stern, everyone says that I’m profound and dignified. Unlike you? After so many years, your vision is still as short-sighted as it was in the past. You can only see an inch in front of you. It’s thanks to a person like me who has a bearing that I won’t despise you and even treat you preciously.”
“Do you feel very aggrieved?” Liang Jing glanced at Zhou Zhenjun with dissatisfaction.
“I wouldn’t dare! The sofa in the living room is not comfortable to sleep on!” Zhou Zhenjun took a breath and replied sullenly.
