Zhou Zheng: "It seems my guess was correct."

"Guess? What did you guess?" Zhou Mo was puzzled.

"I've always felt there was something fishy going on between you two," Zhou Zheng stared at Han Chen. "That night, he was wearing your hairband on his wrist. Also, what were you two doing in your room with the door closed the day we were eating dumplings?"

Zhou Mo was shocked and speechless.

His father shouldn't be working as an "Ai Meiyi" in the health department, he should go to the criminal police team to solve the case.

"Oh, why are you so serious? Isn't it a good thing for our daughter to have a boyfriend? Haven't we always wanted her to get married quickly? Isn't it great that she met Han Chen? We know him well. Isn't he more reliable than others?"

Zhou Zheng snorted slightly. Now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, you two... talk it out for a while first. If it's not suitable, cut your losses in time."

Zhou Mo was unhappy. "Dad, what does it mean to stop the loss in time? Please stop talking nonsense, okay?"

Zhou Zheng glared at her, his expression unusually serious. "How long have you been together? How can there be a future if you haven't even figured out your relationship? Marriage and dating are two different things. You should figure out your relationship first."

Zhou Mo was thankful that she hadn't told Zhou Zheng about getting the marriage certificate, but at the same time, she was a little dissatisfied and asked, "Tell me, what does it mean to have a clear relationship?"

If love can be understood simply by talking, then wouldn't her four relationships be clear by now?

But what is the reality?

She was still confused.

Zhou Zheng was furious. "I can't explain it clearly either. You guys should talk about it first. When you encounter problems in the future, you will understand."

Seeing Zhou Zheng's anger building, Liu Xiangru quickly intervened, saying, "Momo, you know your dad. He's conservative, but he cares about you. Don't take anything he says too seriously. You and Han Chen should just talk it over first. When the time is right, our two parents can get together and have a meeting or something."

"Yeah," Zhou Mo's good mood was completely affected by Zhou Zheng's words.

She always thought that her parents would support her being with Han Chen, and this was undoubtedly the right choice.

But that doesn't seem to be the case.

Zhou Zheng’s condition was not very good today.

Zhou Mo thought that if he stayed here, he might have some unpleasant conflicts with Zhou Zheng.

After sitting on the sofa with Han Chen for a while, she said that she would go back to her rented place tonight.

Zhou Zheng ordered, "You've already come back, why are you leaving again? You're not allowed to go anywhere tonight. Stay here."

Zhou Mo didn't dare to disobey Zhou Zheng. She looked at Han Chen eagerly and thought, if she stays here, what about Han Chen?

Just as he finished thinking, Zhou Zheng added, "Han Chen, our place is small, so we won't keep you here today."

Han Chen smiled calmly and replied, "It's okay. My place is not far from here and I can get there quickly by car. Besides...it's not against the rules for me to stay at your house."

Zhou Zheng responded calmly, "Yeah."

Zhou Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Han Chen is sensible and knows how to follow Zhou Zheng's ideas.

"It's getting late, so I don't want to disturb you." Han Chen stood up tactfully and said goodbye, "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Liu, we came here in a hurry and didn't prepare anything. Next time I bring my mother to visit, I will definitely prepare everything well."

Liu Xiangru smiled from ear to ear and nodded repeatedly in praise, "What a good and sensible child. Okay, bring your mother over next time. Also, make some money quickly so your mother can move across from us sooner."

"Okay," Han Chen agreed, "I'll be leaving first."

"Hey, drive slowly on the road." Liu Xiangru reminded.

Han Chen went out and looked back at Zhou Mo, seeming reluctant to leave.

Zhou Mo waved at him.

Han Chen went downstairs and Zhou Mo closed the door only after he disappeared from view.

Turning around, Zhou Mo found that Zhou Zheng was standing behind her at some point.

Zhou Zheng's serious expression scared her.

"What's wrong, Dad?" Zhou Mo asked.

"Come here, I have something to tell you." Zhou Zheng pointed to the sofa.

Zhou Mo sat obediently in the seat designated by Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng and Liu Xiangru were sitting side by side opposite her. Both of them had serious expressions, as if they were going to interrogate her.

Zhou Zheng wanted to say something, but hesitated. He pushed Liu Xiangru and said, "Go ahead."

"Okay, let me talk," Liu Xiangru sat up straight, "Momo, let's talk about a very serious topic now."

"Well, you say," Zhou Mo said, indicating that he would listen carefully.

"You know your father's profession, and you understand our family's traditions," Liu Xiangru felt a little embarrassed to speak up, but she still made up her mind and said, "You and Han Chen can have a relationship, and we won't stop you, but you can't have any other inappropriate behavior."

Zhou Mo didn't react for a moment. After thinking for a long time, she understood, "You mean, premarital... behavior?"

"Yes," Liu Xiangru said firmly, "Not allowed."

“…”

“Even marginal ones are not allowed.”

Liu Xiangru's words immediately set the rules in stone.

Zhou Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he felt uneasy. Han Chen had already done the things Liu Xiangru had forbidden him to do...

But Liu Xiangru had clearly stated her intention, so she could only pretend to agree, "Okay."

Only then did Liu Xiangru and Zhou Zheng feel relieved.

Before going to bed at night.

Zhou Mo received a message from Han Chen.

He asked: What did your parents say after I left?

Zhou Mo thought that Han Chen still had a conscience and knew to ask a question.

But of course she couldn't tell him what Liu Xiangru and Zhou Zheng had talked to her about. Zhou Mo was not mentally prepared to share this kind of thing with Han Chen at any time.

Besides, it was too late to talk about this matter with Han Chen now.

…

on Monday.

Zhou Mo arrived at the office on time. Almost everyone else was there, except Zhang Lanlan.

"Where is Lanlan?" Zhou Mo asked Ding Ning while getting water from the water dispenser.

Ding Ning: "I asked Director Shen to ask for leave this morning."

"What's going on?" Zhou Mo took a sip of water.

"I don't know the details, but it seems like something happened to Yu Yizhou."

Zhou Mo was stunned for a moment, "What happened to Yu Yizhou?"

"He was detained yesterday and held for a day. He was released this morning. It seemed like Lanlan went to pick him up or something," Ding Ning was not quite sure.

But Zhou Mo knew it too well.

The call to detain Yu Yizhou was made by Han Chen in front of her.

When Zhao Xiaoshuang heard that Yu Yizhou was detained, her curiosity was raging and she hurried to Ding Ning's side, hoping to get more gossip.

Zhou Mo shook his head helplessly and just walked to his workstation.

Chi Zhouxu suddenly called out to everyone, "Look, look, group news, shocking news."

"What news?" Zhao Xiaoshuang immediately took out her cell phone.

"Save the chat history between Manrong and Lanlan quickly," Chi Zhouxu reminded.

Zhao Xiaoshuang was quick to press and hold to save the photo.

Zhou Mo was also curious about what kind of PY transaction between Manrong and Zhang Lanlan. She clicked into the group and found that the message had been withdrawn by Zhang Lanlan.

"What did you say? Why is it gone?"

"I'll send it to you," Zhao Xiaoshuang said.
