Chapter 240 What? Civil Affairs Bureau?

"Three rules?" Zhou Chen seemed to chuckle, more like he found it amusing. He slightly supported his head with his left hand and stared at her with his eyes lowered.

Xu Ge nodded, "Yes, let's set three rules."

Zhou Chen curled his lips slightly and nodded gently, "Tell me about it first."

Xu Ge's eyes suddenly lit up, and she didn't notice that Zhou Chen's eyes were getting darker and darker when he looked at her.

"First, I can leave early and come back late!"

"Secondly, husband and wife are in a relationship of equals. I hope you understand this!"

"Third, I can eat whatever I want, and you can't interfere!"

After saying that, Xu Ge stared at him closely and saw that he had no expression on his face and no reaction at all.

"Isn't it quite simple?"

Zhou Chen scoffed, "First, you still can't leave early and come back late every day. Of course, I will do the same as you ask of me."

Xu Ge: “…”

She immediately retorted subconsciously: "I don't believe it, you add it often."

"So, to be fair, I'll be home by eight. Can you do that?"

Xu Ge: “…”

Xu Ge opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and couldn't help but sit up from the bed and stare at him.

“No, you…”

Are you working so hard? Putting yourself into it? Just to make sure she gets home on time every day?

But the nature of her work is different. Sometimes she can only act at night or even late at night.

"But I..."

"Of course, there are exceptions to special circumstances, such as work needs, but both parties need to be informed in advance."

Xu Ge: “???”

Why did she feel like she was shooting herself in the foot?

In the past, she quite liked being under Zhou Chen's control, but after all, the four years she spent abroad were not in vain. As time went on, her heart naturally became wild.

But when she looked at Zhou Chen's dark pupils, she was speechless and couldn't find any reason to refute!

So she asked a little aggrievedly: "If you have any other requests, please tell us together."

Zhou Chen raised his thin lips and said simply, "Second, we agree. Third, reject it."

Xu Ge couldn't help but frowned, "The third one I think..."

"There's no room for negotiation, so you can change it."

Xu Ge: “…”

She couldn't help but glare at him. You said all the good and bad things, didn't you?

Seeing her angry and unhappy look, Zhou Chen suddenly asked a question.

"So, what did you two say behind my back last night?"

Xu Ge suddenly opened his eyes wide, with the word "treacherous" written in his eyes.

In the end, Xu Ge admitted defeat and rolled over to lie down, angrily saying, "I haven't thought of the third one yet. I'll tell you when I do. I'm going to sleep. Please don't talk to me anymore. Thank you."

Zhou Chen curled his lips as he looked at her back, turned off the dim light, lay down, pulled her into his arms again, and whispered good night.

Xu Ge slowly opened her eyes. It was not that she was unable to digest what Uncle Ping said to her, but she could digest it very quickly.

But she didn't know what to say or do, so she could only pretend nothing happened and keep calm.

As time passed, Xu Ge suddenly asked a question.

"Uncle, you said such harsh words to me back then, weren't you afraid that I would be heartbroken?"

The person behind me didn't respond, and I didn't know if he was asleep.

Xu Ge couldn't wait for his answer and was about to close his eyes and prepare to fall asleep.

But the person behind her opened his eyes at this moment and looked at the person in his arms silently.

Are you afraid?

I'm not really afraid, but the heartache and worry are real.

He has always been good at observing people's hearts. How could he not notice such blatant love?

At first, he really was just focused on her because he thought she was too young and that adolescent restlessness was common.

He had experienced and witnessed that adolescent love should not be taken seriously. Only after entering society did he realize that those secret crushes were only things for children.

But as time passed, she became more and more beautiful and graceful, from a little girl to a member of the opposite sex who could attract men's attention.

It was then that Zhou Chen officially began to think about their relationship.

Sudden alienation?

After so many years of pain, he couldn't bear to do it and couldn't do it.

If it were anyone else, he would choose to end it directly.

So he was also confused, unable to avoid it, unable to hide from it, but unable to express himself.

It was her subconscious avoidance that allowed her feelings for him to spread like vines.

He really couldn't bear to say some harsh words to her to make her stop thinking about him.

As for other means, he had them. He could have made her slowly and unknowingly stop feeling attracted to him, but she didn't do that.

He thought about sending her to boarding school. He could even find a man she liked to keep her company, so that she would gradually transfer her love for him to someone else, and that man would only be obedient to her.

As long as he is there, she won't really suffer the pain of love.

There is always a plan, and it can even be perfect.

But he rejected the idea as soon as he sketched out an outline in his mind.

The next day, the alarm clock rang, and Xu Ge turned over and pulled the quilt to cover his head.

"I have an appointment with my classmates today

noodle……"

Zhou Chen had already finished his shower and came out. Upon hearing this, he simply picked out a set of clothes and threw them on the bed. "Well, what time did you meet?"

Xu Ge yawned and muffledly said, "At noon, we made an appointment to have lunch together."

"Yeah, there's still time."

"What's coming..." Before she could finish her question, the quilt on her body was lifted up, and the next second she was forcibly pulled up from the bed.

"Eh? What are you doing?"

Zhou Chen raised his wrist and glanced at the time. "It's 7:10 now. You have half an hour to wash up and ten minutes to eat breakfast."

Xu Ge was stunned by what he said, "I'm not going to the company with you today. I have an appointment with a friend."

"Well, no delay."

Before Xu Ge could ask anything else, he pushed her into the bathroom.

She looked at herself in the mirror with messy long hair, confused and bewildered, but since she had come in, she could only wash and clean up.

It actually took her thirty minutes: ten minutes to wash and twenty minutes to dress.

She put on some delicate light makeup today and looked very energetic.

When Zhou Chen saw her, he pulled out the chair next to her.

"Eat breakfast."

Xu Ge sat down and glanced at the breakfast on the table, "Where did it come from?"

"It's a gift."

"Oh." Xu Ge ate a little, then followed Zhou Chen out. It was not until she got in the car and found that it was not the way to the company that she turned her head to look at him and asked.

"Where are we going?"

Zhou Chen shifted his gaze from his phone and looked at her beside him, his eyes deep and focused.

"Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Xu Ge was suddenly shocked, and his body, which was originally leaning relaxedly against the back of the chair, suddenly stiffened.

"What? Civil Affairs Bureau?"

"Three rules?" Zhou Chen seemed to chuckle, more like he found it amusing. He slightly supported his head with his left hand and stared at her with his eyes lowered.

Xu Ge nodded, "Yes, let's set three rules."

Looking quietly at the person in his arms.
