Chapter 24 He hooked her and kissed her.

She was originally very angry, but after hearing his cold, deep yet gentle voice, Su Li felt that she was being unreasonable.

When he held her in his arms, she struggled symbolically for a few times, and then was held in his arms. She didn't move or say a word.

Zhou Jinbai's hug was as cold as he was, and since he had just come in from outside, Su Li was shivering a little, but she felt a little warmth on his chin rubbing against her ear.

Su Li didn't hug him. Zhou Jinbai held her tightly with both arms, his voice slowly fading into her ears, "It's more comfortable to hold you. I don't know why you ignore me, but if you don't push me away, I'll take it as you still want to be with me."

Su Li thought about how she hadn't replied to his messages for almost a month, but he still kept sending them. She didn't know what she was doing. She had never been in a relationship before, so she didn't know how to deal with it. She didn't say anything.

Su Li wasn't so angry anymore. After calming down, she gently asked, "I haven't replied to your message for almost a month. Why didn't you contact me?"

Zhou Jinbai spoke sincerely, "You said you were busy and asked me not to bother you, so I didn't. Even though I missed you dearly, I held back. Your career is more important."

Hearing this, Su Li's heart sank. Although she had only dated Zhou Zexi, he had never cared so much about her career. Even in the early days of their marriage, Zhou Zexi had said to her, "Since you're married to me, can you stay home from now on? I won't let you go hungry even if you don't go to work. My dad is home alone, so you can talk to him if you have nothing to do."

Su Li was very angry at the time, but because she was afraid that Zhou Zexi would feel upset, she didn't say anything.

She did not listen to Zhou Zexi and become a housewife, but continued to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. Although her results were not very good, she was very happy to be able to do what she liked.

Now someone tells her, "Your career is more important."

Su Li's eyes moistened slightly, and she finally reached out and hugged his broad shoulders. During the days she had been with Zhou Jinbai, she found that Zhou Jinbai was a perfect person except that he was a little older.

He is an ideal partner, but it is a pity that this partner cannot coexist with her in the future, so she can only be with him secretly.

After Su Li threw a tantrum for a while, she took the initiative to put her arms around his neck and said in a cold voice, "Carry me upstairs."

When Zhou Jinbai heard this, he smiled and said, "You really don't treat me as an elderly person."

Su Li retorted, "You're not old, you can't even carry me upstairs, right?"

Of course Zhou Jinbai was willing to carry her upstairs. He squatted down slightly and picked her up. Su Li rested her head on his shoulder and felt very safe.

Zhou Jin's face was not red and he was not out of breath. He carried her to the bedroom on the second floor in one breath, went in and closed the door. He felt a little hot, so he carried her directly to the bed.

When they got to the bedroom, Su Li still refused to come down. Zhou Jinbai stood there holding her, whispering, "You just told me to get out, and now you won't come down again?"

Su Li snorted, "As a punishment, I'll make you hold me for a while longer."

Zhou Jinbai carried her on the bedroom floor, "Are you still angry?"

Su Li replied, "Angry, I told you not to bother me and you didn't bother me, why are you so obedient?"

Zhou Jinbai was stunned. "If I don't listen, won't you be even angrier?"

Su Li bit his neck in anger, "How can there be such a stupid man? You just do whatever I tell you to do, without any temper at all."

Zhou Jinbai smiled and said, "I have a temper, but when it comes to you, no matter how bad my temper is, I have to restrain it. If you want to tell me where I did something wrong, I have no experience in this area, and I didn't even realize that I neglected you unknowingly."

Su Li moaned on him for a long time.

Actually, I think about it every day.

With such a relationship with Zhou Jinbai, she has gradually forgotten the hurt caused by Zhou Zexi.

However, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Even though Zhou Jinbai is doing well now, Su Li dare not give her heart to him easily. As for whether Zhou Jinbai is willing to give his true heart, she doesn't know.

Su Li had been traveling all day and was a little sleepy. Zhou Jinbai held her and rocked her for a while, then she fell asleep with her head resting on his shoulder. He was still talking to himself, and after a long time, Su Li didn't respond. He stopped and called her name, but she still didn't respond. Only then did he realize that she had fallen asleep.

Zhou Jinbai put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and came out to climb onto her bed.

Her bed was very fragrant and soft, with her scent. The bedding came in sets, in the bright and light colors that girls loved most, and the patterns on them were also very cute.

It had nothing to do with him. Su Li fell asleep, and Zhou Jinbai propped up his head and looked at her face for a long time.

From her forehead to her lips, his big hands helped her to straighten her long hair, and an inexplicable mad love for her surged in his heart.

He looked at her for a moment, then bent down and kissed her.

He hooked her up and kissed her, feeling that he couldn't help himself in front of Su Li. When he didn't think about this before, he felt it was boring.

Now I find it quite interesting.

Looking at Su Li who was sleeping soundly, he couldn't calm down.

Just kissing wasn't enough, he wanted to do more.

Su Li finally sensed something was wrong and reached out to push him nervously.

Finally he woke her up. After opening her eyes and looking at him for a few seconds, she took the initiative to kiss him, holding his head and whispering into his lips.

Zhou Jinbai loved her and felt that no matter how long he spent with her, it was never enough. When she ignored him, he had no energy to go to work.

Now that he had her in his arms, he felt satisfied yet not enough.

Before long, Su Li felt the long-lost strength. She took several deep breaths, like a kitten that had eaten something good, her pair of lychee eyes lazy and blurry.

Humans are sensory animals. Every time Su Li had an in-depth communication with Zhou Jinbai, she felt that she liked him. But after the excitement, she regained her rationality and felt that liking him was unrealistic.

She was unwilling to get married with Zhou Jinbai because she was afraid that one day the truth would be revealed and both she and Zhou Jinbai would be too embarrassed to face anyone.

They are still in the state of "affair" and no one will look favorably upon them.

His parents would not agree even if Zhou Jinbai was rich.

Su Li thought about these things, and then she simply didn't care about it anymore. She would steal for as many years as she could. When Zhou Jinbai was really useless, they would break up. It didn't matter.

But for Zhou Jinbai, this is probably the only woman in his life.

When he was twenty-five, he especially wished she was his daughter, the little angel who had healed his wounded heart.

But when she was twenty-five, he became the man in her bed.

He went deeper and deeper each time, and Su Li was already covered in mud.

Zhou Jinbai caressed her sweaty hair lovingly, "Greedy."

Su Liling opened her lips slightly, "I'll eat you."

Zhou Jinbai always loses control and can't control his strength, which results in Su Li's waist and legs being sore.

At least Zhou Jinbai performed well in bed, and Su Li liked him very much.

After hugging each other for a night, Zhou Jinbai woke up in her bed. It was just dawn outside when he woke up.

Su Li was facing him, sleeping soundly. Zhou Jinbai kept his eyes open and looked at her facial features.

Holding her hand and placing it on his chest, Zhou Jinbai felt a tingling sensation in his heart.

He liked her so much that his heart ached when he thought that she would be separated from him in the future.

But he also knew clearly that Su Li was unwilling to get married with him because she cared about too many things.

No matter how much he was tormented, he had to endure it.

It is a really nice thing to wake up in the same bed with her. Every time I open my eyes, there is a beautiful scenery to see. Su Li herself is a beautiful scenery.

Zhou Jinbai looked at her and sighed, stroking her cheeks again and again with his big hands. He loved that look so much.

But Su Li couldn't see it, she couldn't even know what Zhou Jinbai was thinking.

At around eight o'clock, Zhou Jinbai's phone rang, but he hadn't gotten up yet.

Su Li was also woken up by the ringing phone. She turned over in dissatisfaction and continued to sleep.

Zhou Jinbai stood up and answered the phone. It was Zhou Zexi calling.

He asked Zhou Jinbai, "Where have you been? Today is New Year's Eve, and you didn't come home last night?"

Zhou Jinbai leaned against the headboard and glanced at Su Li. His voice was still as cold as before, "I'll be back at noon."

Zhou Zexi asked, "So what are you doing? Who was that woman I met in Hainan last time? Are you getting married?"

Zhou Jinbai didn't answer his question, but only said, "When you come back, stay at home and don't run around and cause trouble."

Zhou Zexi said, "Come back soon. I want to go to Su Li's house tonight. She always invited me to her house during the Chinese New Year, but I've never been."

Zhou Jinbai heard this and curled his lips coldly, "You don't need to go this year. If you don't cherish her, then stop disgusting her."

Zhou Zexi was silent for a moment. "Are you my father or her father? Even if I did something wrong, shouldn't you speak up for me?"

Zhou Jinbai didn't want to pay attention to him and hung up the phone.

Su Li opened her eyes drowsily and leaned into his arms, "It's cold, don't get up so early."

Zhou Jinbai lay down and held her in his arms, "Lizhi, can I go to your house tonight?"

Su Li was not fully awake at first, but when she heard what he said, she was startled awake. "You're going to my house? I'm not ready yet. Didn't you say..."

Zhou Jinbai's heart sank when he saw her reaction, but he still smiled and said, "I don't want to eat at home with Zhou Zexi. It's boring."

Su Li blinked, "Do you want to go to my house for dinner?"

Zhou Jinbai replied, "You can also refuse, then I will stay in the company and not go back."

Su Li frowned, "Didn't you always spend the New Year alone before?"

Zhou Jinbai hummed, "I want to spend this year with you."

Su Li's heart skipped a beat, and she thought for a moment, "It's not impossible, but what is your identity?"

Zhou Jinbai assured her, "I'll figure it out myself."

Su Li was still worried, "If my parents knew that you and I were together, I would be scolded to death, and so would you."

Zhou Jinbai touched her long hair and said, "I know, I won't make things difficult for you."

At noon, Su Li locked the door and went home, and Zhou Jinbai returned to the Zhou family villa.

Zhou Zexi was having lunch. Seeing him come back, he said through the door of the restaurant, "You've also learned to stay out all night. I told you yesterday that I would be home on the evening flight, but when I got back, you weren't here and didn't even answer my calls."

Zhou Jinbai ignored him and walked towards his bedroom.

Zhou Zexi thought his father was very strange and asked Jiang Wen beside him, "What's wrong with the master recently?"

Jiang Wen didn't know either. He was usually quite normal. Why did he ignore the young master?

Seeing that Jiang Wen couldn't explain it, Zhou Zexi simply stopped asking and said, "Butler Jiang, prepare some gifts. I'm going to the young mistress's house tonight."

Jiang Wen was puzzled. "Didn't the young master divorce the young mistress?"

Zhou Zexi put down his chopsticks, his mood also getting worse. "Yeah, we're divorced. Only after the divorce did I realize how good she was before. I can't accept it."

Jiang Wen, “…”

Zhou Jinbai did not show up the whole day. He was either in the study or in the bedroom. The family was going to make dumplings in the evening, so Zhou Jinbai drove out.

Zhou Zexi asked him where he was going, but he didn't answer.

For the first time, Zhou Zexi felt his father's coldness towards him and felt very uncomfortable.

But he had important things to do today and couldn't get angry with Zhou Jinbai.

Since Zhou Jinbai is unwilling to help him, then he will go by himself.

Little did they know that Zhou Jinbai had already prepared gifts and went to Su Li's house for the New Year's Eve dinner.

This father and son are really busy.

Su Li asked her parents to make more dumplings, as dumplings are a must on the New Year’s Eve dinner table in the north.

Just after he finished wrapping dumplings with his parents, there was a knock on the door. Su Quan went to open the door. As soon as he opened it, he saw Zhou Jinbai standing outside.

Su Quan was also frightened, "How come Mr. Zhou has time to come to my house?"

Zhou Jinbai came in with the gifts he bought, and even though he never liked to smile, he put on a polite smile.

He said, "It's Chinese New Year, so I came to see you. I was always too busy to have time before."

Su Quan invited him to sit down, "Yes, we haven't had a good conversation together before. You are a very busy man."

Zhou Jinbai put the gift on the table and sat on the sofa in the living room with Su Quan to chat.

Yu Luo glanced from the kitchen to the living room and whispered to Su Li, "Your father-in-law is here."

Su Li's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be calm. "What is he doing here?"

Yu Luo lowered her voice, "It must be for Zhou Zexi. Let me tell you, Su Li, there are only zero times a man can cheat and countless times. Even if his family comes to you to apologize, you can't be so foolish as to forgive him so easily."

Su Li assured her, "I'm not sick. I won't even look at that kind of trash again."

Yu Luo came close to her and said, "Even if Zhou Jinbai comes to reconcile in person, we can't compromise. I know that you are a father-in-law with a lot of face, and everyone has to give him face, but you are my only daughter, and I don't want to push you into the fire pit again."

Su Li nodded perfunctorily.

But Zhou Jinbai didn't come here for Zhou Zexi. He just wanted to spend the New Year with Su Li. But when he came to Su Li's house, the topic of conversation was bound to be Zhou Zexi.

The food was served and Su Quan invited Zhou Jinbai to eat together.

Su Li's house is not big, and the dining table is not as big as Zhou's. Four people can sit at the table, and the distance between them is close.

Zhou Jinbai was talking to Su Quan the whole time and didn't look at Su Li. He was afraid that his eyes would be too sticky when he looked at Su Li and someone would notice.

Yu Luo opened a bottle of good wine and asked them to have a drink. Zhou Jinbai said that since they drove here, it would not be appropriate for them to drink.

Su Li drank two cups of tea with Su Quan instead of wine, and she didn't say a word the whole time.

But Zhou Jinbai was right in front of her, and she could see him as soon as she raised her eyes.

Seeing Zhou Jinbai's serious look, Su Li found it funny. She took off her cotton slippers and stretched out her white feet to rub against Zhou Jinbai's calves.

Su Li lowered her head and ate dumplings without looking at him.

But Zhou Jinbai's eyes suddenly looked at her, and the emotion in his eyes was hard to describe.

Yu Luo noticed him looking at Su Li and coughed, "Zhizhi, why don't you ask? Even though you and Zhou Zexi are divorced, Mr. Zhou is still your elder. Even if you don't call him dad anymore, you still have to call him uncle."

Su Li rubbed Zhou Jinbai's ankles several times under the dining table with her feet, and looked at him with a smile, "Uncle Zhou, come to my house more often in the future, okay?"
