Did Zhuo Zhiyuan come to see her specifically?

The moment Shu Jia saw Zhuo Zhiyuan, her heart stopped for a second.

She suppressed the myriad thoughts in her mind, and for a moment she didn't know what attitude or mood to adopt when facing Zhuo Zhiyuan.

Moreover, Zhuo Zhiyuan's timing was very unfortunate. The third female lead in the web series was injured and fractured her leg yesterday during filming. Her treatment period will last for several months. The director and Shu Jia both thought highly of this actress, as her temperament and acting skills were very compatible with the role.

Therefore, the most urgent task now is to readjust the filming schedule and save costs.

Because of Zhuo Zhiyuan's arrival, the work that would normally take at least two days to complete was compressed by Shu Jia into one morning.

When she finished and gave Zhuo Zhiyuan some time, she found that Zhuo Zhiyuan was gone.

Shu Jia's surprise and anticipation were instantly dashed.

Shu Jia waited all afternoon and evening before the front desk finally called to tell her that Zhuo Zhiyuan had returned to his room.

Shu Jia's heart, which had been sinking, suddenly leaped with joy. Relying on her relationship with Zhuo Zhiyuan as husband and wife, she successfully obtained Zhuo Zhiyuan's room key and entered his room, only to find that Zhuo Zhiyuan was not there.

Her gaze was drawn to the food placed on the table.

Was it bought for her?

How did Zhuo Zhiyuan know that she hadn't eaten anything since noon today while waiting for him?

It has to be said that Zhuo Zhiyuan's small gesture touched Shu Jia's heartstrings.

But Zhuo Zhiyuan's attitude was abnormal.

Married for over two years and known each other for nearly eight or nine years, she had seen Zhuo Zhiyuan as boisterous and loud, as annoying and disliked, and as multifaceted as he was, but she had never seen such a cold and aloof Zhuo Zhiyuan.

Shu Jia felt so cold that she couldn't help but suspect that Zhuo Zhiyuan had come to see her today to confront her.

Shu Jia could no longer control the immense pain she had been feeling lately.

Let's be frank, let's make everything clear, and wait for Zhuo Zhiyuan to give her an answer.

She didn't want to speculate anymore.

I'm mentally exhausted.

Unexpectedly, Zhuo Zhiyuan turned the tables and accused Ji Chenxi of having an affair.

The anger and resentment that had been building up inside finally couldn't be contained anymore.

Neither of them would give in, so let's settle this with a single game.

Shu Jia was always very confident in her drinking capacity; Zhuo Zhiyuan was no match for her. However, Shu Jia overlooked the inherent differences between men and women.

She lost.

Although she lost the game, after hearing Zhuo Zhiyuan's explanation, Shu Jia felt as happy as if she had won the lottery.

It turns out that all of this was just her own imagination; there was absolutely no relationship between Zhuo Zhiyuan and Gu Yimin.

Not long ago, Shu Jia felt like she was in hell, but now she feels like she's in heaven.

She didn't know when it started, but her mind had been firmly controlled by the man in front of her.

Shu Jia was overjoyed, but she didn't want Zhuo Zhiyuan to see it.

Because she knew Zhuo Zhiyuan's personality well; he was most prone to getting carried away and taking advantage of her kindness. If he knew she liked him but didn't dare to confess, and instead spent a long time wallowing in self-pity and making wild guesses, wouldn't Zhuo Zhiyuan's tail be wagging in the sky?

But that night, whether it was the beautiful night or the delicious wine, Zhuo Zhiyuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized that her recent tantrums were due to her being sullen and jealous.

Shu Jia naturally refused to admit it no matter what.

Just when she thought she had passed the test, Zhuo Zhiyuan suddenly asked her why she and Ji Chenxi had been getting so close lately.

Shu Jia dared not tell the truth. Was she supposed to tell Zhuo Zhiyuan that she was consulting with Ji Chenxi about how much property she could get after the divorce and whether she could take all the children with her?

This was something that absolutely could not be said, so Shu Jia had no choice but to dodge the question and diligently drink and chat with Zhuo Zhiyuan to change the subject.

Just as she completely relaxed, Zhuo Zhiyuan pulled her into his arms.

"Shu Jia—why don't you want to try being a real couple!"

These words, like the most dazzling fireworks in the sky, bloomed all at once in Shu Jia's mind.

But fireworks fade quickly, and Zhuo Zhiyuan's face became clearer and clearer before her, deeply etched into her mind and heart.

Their eyes met, and Shu Jia met Zhuo Zhiyuan's gaze, like a leopard eyeing its prey, its eyes filled with determination.

It was as if it were saying: Shu Jia, you are mine. From the moment you offered yourself to me, you could never escape.

Shu Jia's heart skipped a beat at those undisguised, beast-like eyes. Before she could even think, Zhuo Zhiyuan's kiss followed, pulling her into the abyss of desire, and together they succumbed to it.

This time, it was different from the first night of recklessness; it was different from the first time of impulsiveness.

Without the stimulation of alcohol, there was only their love and dependence on each other.

Before the ultimate pleasure arrived, Shu Jia hugged the man in front of her tightly. She thought: After all these years of wandering, the hero she had been searching for was right in front of her.

How wonderful, he is the person in front of her, and also the person in her heart.

They have a long future ahead of them.

Fortunately, she can hold Zhuo Zhiyuan's hand and walk together!
