At the golf club, Xie Huanyu stood under the blazing sun.

"So, you went out of your way to celebrate his birthday, and did he give you a warm welcome?"

How could he know?

Xie Huanyu suddenly looked up at the man fiddling with the golf clubs, her face turning extremely ugly in an instant.

Not only was her every move being watched by her father, but the thought that this man might also be secretly monitoring her filled her with an unprecedented sense of resistance.

"You're overthinking it. I'm not that bored," Zhou Zehao said again, as if he had guessed what the other person was thinking. Then he turned to Xie Huanyu and asked, "Have I ever said that I hate restless women the most?"

What does this have to do with her?

Xie Huanyu frowned slightly, about to explain something, when Zhou Zehao threw the golf club in his hand to her, and she subconsciously reached out and caught it.

"Follow me!"

Forget it, it's better to avoid trouble.

After careful consideration, Xie Huanyu swallowed the words that were about to come out, took a deep breath, and then started walking forward with the other person.

Actually, she didn't like playing golf at all. It was her father who insisted on arranging for her to accompany this young master, saying that he wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to him.

But Zhou Haoze clearly didn't care about her or the Xie family, and she could never like such a hypocrite who was two-faced. Alas... she lowered her eyes in disappointment, realizing that she really didn't have the courage or guts to rebel against her father.

After a quick warm-up at another venue, Zhou Zehao picked up his club again, took a slight aim, and fired, narrowly missing the hole.

"Go get the ball!"

"Huh?" Xie Huanyu was slightly taken aback, and unconsciously asked, "Aren't there caddies?"

“You’re right here, why would you need to call me a caddy?” Zhou Haoze narrowed his eyes unhappily and said in a cold tone, “You offered to come with me, and you don’t even know how to play, so shouldn’t you do something?”

Xie Junyang unconsciously clenched his hands at his sides. For a moment, he had the impulse to turn around and leave, but in the end, reason prevailed, and he patiently walked forward to retrieve the ball.

Once you start, you'll start again. Zhou Haoze seemed to get into it, hitting one shot after another. Xie Huanyu was forced to pick up the ball again and again, and soon she was exhausted.

"Tsk tsk, that's all the stamina you have? You really are a rich young lady!" Zhou Zehao said with disdain, before turning around and walking towards the rest area.

That damn bastard!

Xie Huanyu couldn't help but spit inwardly, then looked up and glared fiercely at the figure in front of her. He was clearly deliberately tormenting her. Only after she caught her breath did she lift her foot and follow him.

Are you curious about what kind of grudge I have against Xu Yanshu?

Xie Huanyu had just sat down in the lounge chair when she heard this and paused slightly, her expression becoming somewhat awkward. "I..."

"Xu Yanshu is my father Zhou Shengyu's illegitimate son who was lost to the world."

"How could that be? His father is clearly..."

"The one you know is just his adoptive father. What, Xu Yanshu hasn't even mentioned this to you? Tsk tsk, it seems he really doesn't take you seriously!" Zhou Zehao said slowly, his tone full of sarcasm.

Since he's already been abandoned, he should just die out there as soon as possible!

The Zhou couple were also extremely hateful. Even though they had already adopted him, they were still obsessed with finding their biological son and never considered his feelings.

As he pondered, a fierce glint flashed in Zhou Haoze's eyes. As long as he was alive, he would never let Xu Yanshu return to the Zhou family so easily.

Xie Huanyu's face turned pale and then red from the sarcasm. In all the time they had known each other, Xu Yanshu had never mentioned this to her, so she was somewhat skeptical of his words.

In response, Zhou Zehao raised his handsome eyebrows noncommittally, "Why would I need to lie to you? If you really don't believe me, you can go back and ask your father!"

So...it's true?

Thinking back to her father's hesitant attitude when she asked him about it before, Xie Huanyu began to waver. Zhou Zehao really had no reason to deliberately lie to her about this matter.

Her feelings inevitably became complicated; she truly hadn't expected Xu Yanshu to have such a background.

So, what are your thoughts on this?

Xie Huanyu frowned unhappily, "If you're just targeting Xu Yanshu, then there's no need for that. He's not someone who chases fame and fortune, and he wouldn't even look at what your Zhou family has to offer!"

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so determined to divorce her.

hehe……

Zhou Haoze chuckled cryptically, stood up, walked over to Xie Huanyu, reached out and turned her face towards him, lightly touched his back teeth with the tip of his tongue, and then spoke.

"Xie Huanyu, you'd better understand who you're talking to. If it weren't for Xie Junyang's sake, why would I want secondhand goods like you?"

Xie Huanyu flew into a rage and made to slap the man's hand away, but unexpectedly, someone grabbed her shoulder first.

"I'm not a coward like Xu Yanshu, and I will never indulge you without limits, so you'd better behave yourself!"

How dare they speak up for that bastard Xu Yanshu in front of him!

A surge of intense, violent emotion quickly welled up in Zhou Haoze's eyes. He gradually tightened his grip on the woman's hand until Xie Huanyu cried out in pain, at which point he released her.

He's a crazy, unpredictable man!

Xie Huanyu couldn't help but glare at the man fiercely, and said angrily, "Young Master Zhou, I think you've misunderstood. I never intended to have anything with you, and my presence here today is solely due to my father's arrangements."

"So, you don't have the guts to rebel against your dad," Zhou Zehao shrugged dismissively, his tone utterly cold, "while your father is now single-mindedly trying to tie himself to me."

"So even if you hate me now, you can't break off all ties with me, understand?"

Taming a woman is not something that can be rushed. He wasn't particularly interested in Xie Huanyu. The only reason he was willing to keep her by his side now was so that he could occasionally annoy Xu Yanshu.

Xie Huanyu wanted to refute, but she knew perfectly well that these were undeniable facts. Her shoulders slumped unconsciously, and she ultimately didn't say anything more.

"So you'd better not think about going against me; it won't do you any good."

After saying that, Zhou Zehao turned and walked towards the course, found a spot, and made a perfect hole-in-one.

“For example, right now, I don’t want you to keep sitting there as a spectator, so what should you do?” Zhou Zehao said coaxingly, his tone carrying a hint of threat.

Xie Huanyu frowned in resistance, hesitated for a moment, and then stood up from her seat.
