Chapter 1642: Cool Night (3)

Dongfang Liuyun was quiet for a long time before she took a deep breath. She also raised her head and drank up the tea in her cup before she left.

Qi Lei had already tidied up and laid down on the bed. When Dongfang Liuyun lifted the blanket and laid down, his eyes were closed as he laid quietly. When he heard movement from the side, he turned his body and hugged her gently.

“I won’t give you the chance to regret, so there’s no ifs.”

With that, he tightened his arms and pulled her into his embrace.

She paused for a moment before wrapping her arms around him too. She said softly, “I’m the one who chose you. This time, I’m definitely sticking to it. Don’t say you’ll give up, just say you’ll persevere, okay?”

“Okay,” he replied and buried himself in her hair. “Rest early. I’ll send you to work tomorrow.”

“Okay.” She smiled calmly and leaned against his chest…

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly heard the sound of his breathing. She propped herself up to look. When she saw that he was sleeping peacefully, her heart relaxed slightly. Although she felt a little tired, it was difficult for her to fall asleep at this moment…

When she woke up the next day, Dongfang Liuyun had a pair of dark circles under her eyes. She looked a little exhausted and had to put on some makeup to barely cover it up.

“Do I need to ask for a day off for you? You don’t look very well.”

After breakfast, Qi Lei frowned as he looked at her and asked again.

Dongfang Liuyun had already walked out—

“There are too many things that I haven’t taken care of, if I asked for a day off now, I’d give Lin Yuanyuan the chance to catch me and I don’t want that, especially during this critical period.”

With that, her slender figure disappeared outside the door.

Qi Lei hesitated for a moment and could only follow after her.

…

After staying at home for a few days, Zhou Zimo finally felt that he had recovered some of his energy today.

Liang Jing had been staying at his place for the past few days. Since Zhou Zhenjun was not around and Zhou Zimo did not have a single servant at home, she was naturally worried. Hence, she would return his place after work every day.

Naturally, she did not forget about the company’s matters. Every day, the secretary would send the doc.u.ments home.

In the morning, Zhou Zimo woke up early as usual. He coughed for a few days, but his voice was still hoa.r.s.e.

Liang Jing had already prepared breakfast. After the mother and son had a simple breakfast, Liang Jing had to go to the hospital to work.

“Mother, I’ll send you over. I’m going to Su Chen’s place. It’s on the way anyway.” Zhou Zimo put down his bowl and said that.

Liang Jing turned to look at him, feeling a little surprised—

Her son had never taken the initiative to send her to work.

“Okay.” Liang Jing thought for a moment and answered quickly.

The car soon sped all the way to the hospital.

“Do you want to tell me something? You’ve been quite calm these past few days. Son, when did you become so well-behaved? When you came to the house before, you didn’t care about anything and didn’t see anyone all day long.” Liang Jing looked at Zhou Zimo meaningfully.

“Aren’t I sick right now?”

“You wouldn’t behave well even if you broke your leg! I think you have nowhere to go, right? Su Chen is married. Ah Chen is the father of a few children and has his own family. Do you really think that you can still mingle around like before? You’re the only one left now. You should feel quite lonely, right?” Liang Jing seemed to be able to see through Zhou Zimo’s thoughts with a single glance as she smiled and said.

Zhou Zimo glanced at her helplessly when he heard this and replied, “You seem to have quite a sharp eye. Look at me, where do you see the word ‘lonely’? Even if Su Chen and the others are married, we are still brothers after all. Whenever I make a call, they’d show up obediently.”

“I don’t want to fight with you. You know how it feels. It’s not up to me to say it.”

Liang Jing saw that his expression did not look too good, so she did not continue to explain.

“Your grandfather has been missing you recently. In a few days, when your body has fully recovered, go back to see him. Your father will be busy in recent times. You have to think about your own matters. You don’t want to be forced by us, but at least let us see some hope, right? The matter of a marriage is complicated, but it’s actually not that complicated. Essentially it’s just a couple trying to get along. That’s how your father and I got along.”

As Liang Jing said this, her gaze landed on Zhou Zimo.

“How many couples do you think are like you and father? Your relationship model is only suitable for you, not for me. That’s the old way. Human beings have evolved for decades, do you think they have stayed in the same place?”

“You’re full of theories. What’s the new relationship model now? If you really knew of it, why don’t I see my daughter-in-law anywhere?”Ah Chen is already the father of a few children. If you don’t hurry up, you’ll be far behind him. If all your theories are right, how many couples can there be in this world?” Liang Jing did not think much of it.

“In any case, I don’t agree with your method.” Zhou Zimo increased the speed of the car and said.

“Well you know quite a few girls, Zhang Yue, Miss Zhang, Miss Han, I think all of them are pretty good, and they like you very much too. Their looks and temper are also good. Why don’t you like them? They’re better than those female celebrities and actresses!”

Liang Jing felt a little sullen when she mentioned this. Over the years, she had liked many girls, but Zhou Zimo did not like them.

“I want to ask myself why I don’t like them too. If I could force myself, I wouldn’t have waited until now.” Zhou Zimo thought for a moment, suddenly sighed, and replied in a low voice.

“But, you can’t stay single forever, right? “You’re going to be 34 soon. Time won’t forgive you, son! It’s time for you to seriously think about this matter. Life is only so short for a few decades. It will pa.s.s in the blink of an eye. Marriage has its beauty. At least when you’re old, you can still have a partner. When something happens, the husband and wife can still discuss. No matter how bad it gets, that’s still one more person to talk to. Why are you so stubborn?” Liang Jing said with disappointment.

“This isn’t stubbornness, mother. This is my att.i.tude towards life. Your marriage with father was like a bet. It was like a child’s play! You should be glad that you met father who’s a good person. Otherwise, can you be sure that if it were a different person, you’d have a relationship like what you have with father right now?”

Zhou Zimo had his reasons, too.
