When Liu Zhiyuan pushed open the door of the ward, beads of sweat were already oozing from her palms.

When Xu Zhou saw her, a bright light flashed in his eyes, as bright as stars. He looked at her excitedly: "Miss Liu, are you here?"

At this moment, Liu Zhiyuan finally understood why Xu Zhou always called her sister-in-law. Because he had planned this day for a long time, she remembered that Xu Zhou would only call her Miss Liu every time he saw her.

Xu Su corrected Xu Jiu's way of addressing Xu Zhou, but Xu Zhou had never called her sister-in-law.

She felt a chill in her heart. Such a deliberate man made her feel a little strange.

Is love at first sight pure enough to lead to so many crazy things?

How mentally abnormal is this person?

Although her heart was cold, she did not show any flaws on the surface. She had to endure it.

Her favorite man, for the sake of their son, could go alone to such a dangerous place as the military base to negotiate with the executives. She was just acting, so why not?

Thinking of this, she forced a smile and walked forward.

Somewhat polite, some distant, very calmly said to Xu Zhou,

"Yes, I am. Although I feel I should smile at you so that my son is less likely to be in danger, I am being frank and straightforward.

I'm sorry my smile doesn't look natural. I'm worried about my son and I can't get it out of my mind.

Xu Zhou really liked her straightforward personality. He looked at her affectionately, his voice hoarse with excitement, "I know, don't worry, I won't force you."

Liu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward again: "Are you really not going to force me?"

"No, how could I bear to force you?" Xu Zhou's voice was hoarse, with an uncontrollable gentleness in it. He always gave people the impression of being elegant and gentle, and he interpreted the words gentleman and elegant to the fullest.

Liu Zhiyuan seemed to let down her guard and sat on the chair in front of the bed. Her slender fingers gently opened the insulated box. "Is this millet porridge?"

Xu Zhou nodded and took the insulated box. He thoughtfully helped her fill a small bowl of millet porridge.

"Yes, I asked the servants to prepare it very carefully. How about you try it? If you like it, I can make millet porridge for you myself after I am discharged from the hospital."

Liu Zhiyuan raised her clear eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across her delicate face: "You can cook it yourself?"

Xu Zhou nodded, his eyes deep as water: "Yes, as long as you like, I can satisfy you."

Liu Zhiyuan lowered her head, gently stirred the millet porridge, and said lightly, "Song Ling has never helped me cook millet porridge."

Xu Zhou's eyes flashed with disdain, and then he said softly,

"Don't worry, I will take good care of you in the future. I will let you know that your second choice is the right one."

Liu Zhiyuan took a sip of millet porridge, then looked at him and whispered, "I'm trying to convince myself to accept reality. But I think I really need time.

It takes time to accept you and get used to your kindness to me. That's why I came to see you today. I think I will come to see you more often when I have time. I don't want an abrupt relationship, I want that kind of love, do you understand? "

Xu Zhou nodded, "I understand."

Liu Zhiyuan sighed softly again.

"Can you give me the feeling of love? Like an ordinary man and woman, can we get to know each other, get familiar with each other, then have feelings for each other, pursue each other, confess our feelings, and go on a date?

You know, Song Ling and I also had a flash marriage. In fact, after Duan Zichen's betrayal, I still yearn for a romantic love in my heart. Can you satisfy me?

In her watery eyes, there were clear waves rippling. Xu Zhou's heart was overwhelmed by her presence, and her gentle tone flowed through his heart like water.

He nodded involuntarily. "Of course, I can meet all your requirements. Want to fall in love? Want romance? I can satisfy all of these. I will make it happen as soon as I am discharged from the hospital, as long as you are willing to try to accept me."

Liu Zhiyuan sighed helplessly again.

"In fact, I was reluctant to accept you at first. But I had to accept you. After all, I am optimistic by nature. I think that pain is also a day, sadness is also a day, and happiness is also a day.

Maybe I can try to live differently, try to accept you, try to be happy."

Xu Zhou was deeply moved, as if he had really taken a big step towards his love. Her words gave him great encouragement.

The phone next to the pillow suddenly rang, and a light illuminated his eyes.

Liu Zhiyuan's heartstrings were also tense at this time because she felt a little cold.

Xu Zhou's eyes seemed a little cold when he answered the phone, and the coldness in his heart was completely conveyed.

Her heartstrings were tense, and the fingers holding the spoon were slightly tense, her fingertips were pale, and her palms were sweaty.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She had to calm Xu Zhou down.

She didn't know who was calling, but what was certain was that the atmosphere in the ward became tense because of the call.

Her eyelashes, like butterfly wings, drooped slightly, wondering who was calling.

Whether to disclose the details of Song Ling’s visit to the US headquarters for negotiations.

My heart was so nervous that it was like a drum beating again and again.

After a few seconds, she raised her eyes, and the bottom of her eyes returned to transparency and clarity.

A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she asked softly, "Who is it? Why don't you answer it?"

Xu Zhou's eyes were fixed on his phone on the table. It kept ringing, but he didn't answer it. However, the temperature of the air around him kept dropping.

Finally, he answered the phone.

He didn't say a word and just listened to the person on the other end.

Liu Zhiyuan couldn't hear clearly because the volume was low, but she could vaguely hear the person on the other end of the phone speaking authentic English.

Her heart skipped a beat. Was it a call from America?

After Xu Zhou hung up the phone, he gently put it down and looked at Liu Zhiyuan. There was no expression in his eyes, but the corners of his lips were still slightly raised, and his voice was as gentle as ever: "Why don't you eat?"

Liu Zhiyuan swallowed subconsciously and nodded slightly.

At this moment, she really felt that Xu Zhou was a particularly scary person.

This man has always hidden his inner self with a gentle appearance. It seems to be innate and has been deeply integrated into his bones.

So outsiders can't see through his thoughts and emotions at all.

This kind of person is actually the most terrifying.

Her heart was trembling slightly, but she still pretended to be calm on the surface.

Then, she winked at him gently and tried to force a pale smile.

The curve of Xu Zhou's lips became more pronounced, showing no trace of joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness. He asked casually, "Are you full?"

Liu Zhiyuan nodded.

"Yeah, I'm full. To be honest, I haven't had a good appetite lately. I came to the ward to have breakfast with you because I wanted to force myself to accept the new life as soon as possible. However, everything needs to be done step by step. I hope you won't put too much pressure on me."
