Chapter 1771: Do You Care About Me? (2)

Hearing her tone, Zhou Zimo was not angry.

“I don’t have any ill intentions, and you don’t have to be so against me. No matter what, we are still considered friends.”

“The word ‘friend’ is actually very unfathomable. Perhaps it’s more appropriate to say that we are comrades.” Qin Su replied indifferently.

“Are you as afraid of marriage as I am?” Zhou Zimo suddenly asked.

Qin Su then looked at him with a deep gaze. However, she did not say anything after that.

Zhou Zimo increased the speed of the car slightly.

The song in the car was still slowly playing. It was the very familiar “Like You” song. At this moment, it did not seem to fit the situation. Qin Su wanted to reach out to change it, but Zhou Zimo reached out to stop her.

Qin Su was forced to stop her movements. She looked at him with a fixed gaze and did not pull her hand back.

After a long while, Qin Su leaned back and took her hand back. She closed her eyes silently. “Are you a nostalgic person too?”

“Is it bad to be nostalgic?”

Zhou Zimo did not look at her at this moment and just asked.

“I heard that nostalgic people tend to sink into the past.”

“There has to be a past that can sunk into. Do you have any memorable incident from the past?”

As Zhou Zimo spoke, he looked at Qin Su tentatively—

However, there was no change in Qin Su’s expression. Her expression was still as indifferent as the wind.

It seemed that she had not noticed anything about what had happened back then?

Could it be that Zhou Zimo was the only one who remembered that matter so clearly, but she had not remembered it at all?

Thinking of this, Zhou Zimo actually felt a slight sense of disappointment. He suddenly thought that if she could remember a little bit of it, it would be a good thing. At least…

Qin Su did not answer, but from her gaze, Zhou Zimo already knew the answer—

Was she a person who did not even bother with memories? Was she an open-minded person who did not care?

After that, the two of them did not say anything all the rest of the way.

When the car stopped in front of the department, the sun was already setting.

Qin Su unbuckled her seatbelt and looked at Zhou Zimo beside her. “Thank you. It’s so late, I won’t keep you for dinner. Let’s get together some other time.”

As Qin Su spoke, she reached out and pushed the car door open.

Zhou Zimo turned to look at her. “Wait a moment.”

As he said that, he reached out to grab a few paper bags from the backseat and stuffed them into Qin Su’s arms—

“Take these things back. You can do whatever you want with them.”

Qin Su was stunned. She looked at him in a daze and then looked down at the things in her arms.

“Hurry up and get back, it’s getting late.”

Zhou Zimo coughed lightly and said in a low voice.

“I don’t need these things.”

Qin Su was naturally soft-hearted. She never liked taking advantage of others.

“Qin Su, if you dare not take it back, I’ll get out of the car right now and take it to your office!”

Zhou Zimo finally could not help but let out a low growl. He was so done with this unromantic woman. He reckoned that there would be more things that would make him jump in anger in the future!

After being yelled at by him, Qin Su only furrowed her brows and looked at the thing in her hand again. Only then did she quietly get out of the car and slam the car door. She took large strides towards the company without a second look at Zhou Zimo.

Seeing Qin Su’s slender figure slowly disappear at the door, Zhou Zimo’s tensed face relaxed slightly. He took a deep breath and could not help but take out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit one on his own, he was not in a hurry to start the car and return.

“Qin Su… no woman has ever been able to reject me, Zhou Zimo. You will be the same.”

Zhou Zimo took a deep breath. Amidst the smoke, he looked at the empty door and said in a deep voice. Then, he started the car and drove away.

…

A few days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun were naturally very busy. They left early and returned late every day. Song Siting was still in the hospital, but she was already out of danger and had been transferred to the intensive care unit.

Qi Lei hired two special nurses to take care of her. Her recovery was not too bad. Of course, Lin Yuanyuan’s people had come to the hospital during this period of time, but they were all blocked outside by the bodyguards. The news had not been leaked yet.

Lan Xiu had asked Ah Li to go over to check on the situation in the past two days. Today, he even came over personally to visit.

It was already the afternoon, close to evening. The autumn sun was hazy and the cool breeze was faint.

Song Siting sat on a bench in the hospital’s backyard. She watched the people walking across the lawn in front of her, while Lan Xiu sat beside her.

“Auntie, you should drink some water.”

Lan Xiu took the thermos cup that Ah Li handed over, opened the lid, and delivered it to Song Siting.

Song Siting took it. “Thank you. It must’ve troubled you to come all the way here.”

“No, I’m relieved that Auntie is recovering well. Tomorrow is Grandma Dongfang’s birthday, so I came over to take a look. Auntie hasn’t recovered yet, so don’t go over?”

Lan Xiu was quite familiar with the Dongfang family’s situation, which was why he came over today.

When she said this, Song Siting could not help but sigh. “Yes, tomorrow is the old lady’s birthday. Your Uncle Dongfang isn’t here, and I’m in this situation. I don’t know what Liuyun plans to do. Should she just bring Qi Lei over?”

“Don’t worry, Auntie. I believe Liuyun will arrange it…”

Lan Xiu’s tone was hesitant. He did not know if he should tell Song Siting the news, but he was worried about Liuyun..

“I’ve been looking for you, turns out you’re here.”

Before Lan Xiu could react, Dongfang Liuyun’s voice came from behind them. The two of them quickly turned around and saw Dongfang Liuyun walking towards them.

“You’re off work?” Lan Xiu asked gently.

Dongfang Liuyun nodded. “Have you been here for long?”

“Not long. I just happened to accompany Auntie for a walk. Qi Lei didn’t come with you?”

Lan Xiu looked at Liuyun who was alone and asked.

“He has to work overtime. I came over to take a look.”

Dongfang Liuyun replied and her gaze quickly landed on Song Siting. “How are you feeling today? I just came from the doctor and they said that you need to be observed for a few more days. You can only be discharged if there are no problems.”

“Much better. Didn’t I say that you don’t need to come today? You should go back and prepare for your grandmother’s birthday tomorrow.”

Song Siting reminded her.

“I’ll take care of everything that needs to be prepared. Don’t worry. The sun is about to set, let’s go back.”

Dongfang Liuyun looked at the warm sun hanging in the sky and said.

Song Siting was quiet for a moment. She also looked at the sky and then nodded.

“Let me help you, Auntie.”

With that, he very quickly held Song Siting.
