However, these words…
On second thought, was she not telling him—
“You mean you agree to my pursuit of you?”
Zhou Zimo narrowed his eyes at her and asked in a low voice.
Qin Su lowered her eyes and silently picked up the bowl. She elegantly picked up the food with her chopsticks as she said, “At my age, I’ll be 29 years old next year and become the super leftover woman that you guys mentioned. I’m still not not married yet, there are only a few reasons for this.”
As Qin Su said this, he suddenly stopped and didn’t continue.
“Which ones?” Zhou Zimo quickly asked.
Qin Su calmly ate a mouthful of food and slowly swallowed it before replying, “First, standards are too high, but my own conditions aren’t great. Second, not interested in marriage. Third, pessimistic attitude towards married life, and I’m probably the third type.”
“Why? You haven’t even tried marriage before. Why would you be pessimistic about it?” Zhou Zimo frowned and asked.
Qin Su raised her gaze and looked at him. A rare smile appeared on her ice-cold face. The smile was exceptionally gorgeous, causing Zhou Zimo could not look away.
“I’ve been in the army longer than you, and I’ve seen more things than you. I’ve seen the lives of some ordinary people. You’re a rich Master, and you’re well-off. You have a lot of women that you like, so you might not understand those experiences. It’s really hard to be with people with different ideals, especially in our line of work.”
Qin Su’s tone was indifferent, and the smile on her lips was also indifferent. “And, actually, I also know that my job transfer this time isn’t that simple. Although I don’t like this kind of secret operation, but…”
“I admit that I’ve put in a lot of effort, but Qin Su, do you know why…”
Do you know why I have been single until now?
Zhou Zimo did not ask the rest. Only he knew about the knot in his heart, and even Mu Yuchen and the others might not understand it. Moreover, right now… deep in his heart, he could not let go of her at all. Long ago, after he had gotten her under those circumstances back then, the fate between them was destined to be inextricably linked. No matter how hard he tried, he could not erase it.
He did not dare to tell her because he was afraid that she would…
He did not know if this was obsession. He did not want to admit it either. When he fantasized about other men being able to have her, he felt uncomfortable all over. Should Qin Su not belong to him, Zhou Zimo?
Zhou Zimo did not continue with the rest of his words, and Qin Su would not ask.
“You have many choices. You really don’t have to waste your time on me. I don’t think I can be a good wife and daughter-in-law.”
Qin Su’s words were very clear. It was also because she knew herself too well. She was dull and uninteresting, and she did not want to interact with others too much. In her world, everything had to be organized and strict. As a result, she had offended many people…
“Who asked you to be a good wife and daughter-in-law? As long as you marry me, I promise that I will definitely be a good husband and son-in-law. As for you, you will still be you, Qin Su.”
Zhou Zimo’s tone was unusually firm.
“Let’s eat.”
Qin Su only said a few words after listening.
“Based on the reasons I mentioned above and the situation today, I think that I should give us a chance. Moreover, you agreed to my three conditions last time, so I can’t go too far. My parents also like you. It’s really too difficult to get them to agree. I don’t know if this is a good start.”
There was a helpless calmness in her hoarse voice, Zhou Zimo heard it very clearly.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Zhou Zimo’s handsome face. “Of course! I’ll send you over later. It’s on the way to the company anyway.”
Qin Su was stunned for a moment. She raised her eyes to look at him. Seeing the anticipation in his eyes, she did not reject him.
“Don’t forget about dinner tonight. Come and pick me up. My car is still at my house. I’ll go back tomorrow to pick it up.”
“There are plenty of cars in the garage, the keys are in the drawer next to the coffee table in the living room, you can take any of them to drive…” Zhou Zimo quickly said, but Qin Su did not seem to hear him. She had already averted her gaze, lowered her head, and continued eating her meal.
Zhou Zimo did not say anything else and just continued to eat in silence.
After that, the two of them did not say anything else. They quietly finished their meal. Qin Su was not restrained either. Her appetite was not any smaller than Zhou Zimo’s, and she had eaten most of the dishes out of respect.
“Leave the dishes. I’ll go wash them.”
Qin Su was not used to eating for free. Since Zhou Zimo was kind enough to cook, she felt that she needed to wash the dishes.
“Women age easily when they enter the kitchen. Let me do it.”
In any case, when he used to have special sessions with Mu Yuchen and the rest, Zhou Zimo would mostly do the dishes, so he did not mind anymore.
Qin Su glanced at him in surprise. “If you’re too eager, won’t it seem like your motives are impure?”
“My motives are impure to begin with. I admit it.”
Zhou Zimo admitted it generously.
“I seem to have underestimated the thickness of your skin.”
…
Zhou Zimo quickly cleaned up the dishes. Qin Su sat on the sofa and boiled some chrysanthemum tea to make it hot.
A while ago, it was late autumn and it was a little dry. It was good to drink some chrysanthemum tea to make it hot.
She took the opportunity to look around at the layout of the house. She was largely satisfied and it was in line with her aesthetic standards. However, Zhou Zimo seemed to be a person who liked wine very much. She looked at the wine rack beside the bar counter, it was filled with all kinds of wine. Moreover, they were all expensive and aged. There were at least a hundred of them, not to mention the capacity of the storage room.
“A while ago, Chief Zhou asked me to go over for a talk. It should be the result of you dealing with him, right?”
Seeing Zhou Zimo walk over while wiping his hands, Qin Su also moved a cup of tea over to him.
“My father has always admired you, and your ability is obvious to everyone. However, at this point, there’s no need for you to work so hard. What’s wrong with changing to a stable position? Isn’t your father thinking the same thing?”
Zhou Zimo took the cup of tea and took a few sips before replying unhurriedly.
“I hope that you can keep our matter a secret for the time being. I’ve just been transferred to the prosecutor’s office, and I don’t want others to look at me differently, saying that I’m…”
“Saying that you’re dependent on nepotism?”
Zhou Zimo naturally understood what she meant, and he chuckled. “I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Only a naive person like you would find it troublesome if you didn’t use such good conditions.”
“A tall tree attracts the wind. You understand this logic. Keep a low profile so that you won’t be targeted.”
“Don’t worry. In the entire City Z, I’ve yet to discover anyone who dares to provoke me .”
