Chapter 227 A Step Further

In the silence, footsteps were heard outside the door, and then Zhou Yunjie heard someone calling her name.

It’s Miao Ling.

She subconsciously wanted to answer, but then she realized that she was with Shen Zhiyu, so she swallowed the words back.

In the dim space, the two stood facing each other.

Shen Zhiyu's tall body almost completely covered Zhou Yunjie, and the place where she was standing became increasingly dark.

She could smell his scent in her nose, and could hear the sound of footsteps approaching from outside the door. Suddenly, she had the illusion that she was having an affair with him.

His heart was beating rapidly in his chest. Zhou Yunjie was glad that he was in a dark corner, otherwise Shen Zhiyu would have seen his blushing face clearly.

"Miao Ling is looking for me. I'm going back first."

She lowered her head, squeezed out from Shen Zhiyu's side, and said as if to remind herself, "It will be a year in three months. I hope you won't break your promise."

Shen Zhiyu chuckled when he heard this, "Besides this, do you have nothing else to say to me?"

Zhou Yunjie lowered his eyes and answered irrelevantly, "I haven't congratulated you yet, the equity change is complete."

Another meaningless statement.

Shen Zhiyu suddenly recalled what Qin Haohan had said that day, "Your wife looks quite obedient, but I don't think she's that easy to deal with..."

It's indeed not that easy to deal with.

Hard ones don’t work, and soft ones don’t work either.

The door of the fire escape slammed shut in front of him, and Zhou Yunjie's figure disappeared.

…

After the dinner, Zhou Yunjie took advantage of the chaos and ran away with Miao Ling.

Miao Ling was still nagging as he got into the taxi, "Look at you, you're clearly a legal couple, why are you always hiding from them?"

"Correction." Zhou Yunjie whispered, "A legal 'fake' couple."

"What's real or fake? It's legal anyway." Miao Ling curled her lips. "When you were out just now, you didn't see Chen Jingjing's smug look. I don't know what she's so proud of. It doesn't look like Mr. Shen has any special feelings for her. She acts like the legal wife all day long..."

"You, the real wife, are acting like a mistress, and you can't even admit your identity. Hey, Yunjie, Mr. Chen has already admitted that you are married, so what can you do even if you say it?"

“He is him, and I am me…” Zhou Yunjie looked at the flashing neon lights outside the car window and whispered, “It is written in the agreement that Shen Zhiyu is not bound by the agreement, but I am not…”

Miao Ling's relationship with Zhou Yunjie wasn't as close as Lin Xiaotang's, so some things were difficult to say. She also knew she couldn't get past Zhou Yunjie, so she opened her mouth but swallowed back what she wanted to say.

Zhou Yunjie didn't say much during the rest of the journey, and she was not even interested in the gossip about the hotel that Miao Ling told her.

And Shen Zhiyu on the other side of the city was also in the same bad mood as her.

He lay on the sofa, and when he thought about Zhou Yunjie's attitude towards her tonight, he felt a blockage in his heart.

With so much frustration in his heart that he had no place to vent, Qin Haohan took the initiative to call and flirt with her.

"How's it going? After arranging the dinner tonight, have you taken the next step with your wife?"

"Indeed... a step further."

Qin Haohan quickly took credit, "Look, the tricks I came up with for you have all been personally tested by me... How are you going to thank me?"

"Thank you?" Shen Zhiyu sneered, "What I meant is that we are one step closer to divorce..."

Qin Haohan was speechless after hearing this.
