Chapter 31 Consideration
Zhou Si'an showed a meticulous smile, "My family is urging me to get married, so for me this is a win-win situation."
For big families like the Zhou and Zhu families, they often choose arranged marriages over troublesome blind dates. Since the two younger generations started their contact through blind dates, it shows that both families attach great importance to this matter.
Perhaps this is something Zhou Si'an cannot refuse.
If Zhu Wendong accepts Zhou Si'an's proposal, the final development of the situation will be uncontrollable, and it is very likely that they will need to maintain it until the day of their real wedding.
Zhu Wendong took a sip of coffee and said, "I might have to think about this."
Zhou Si'an saw what she was worried about and said, "Don't worry about the day we get married. When that happens, I will tell my family that we're done. All we have to do is keep getting along as we did during the blind date phase and prevent them from noticing anything unusual."
Although there was no better solution, Zhu Wendong was still a little worried. She frowned and said, "I may need to think about it for a few days."
Zhou Si'an said sympathetically, "No problem, just give me an answer when the time comes."
Then the two of them looked at each other in silence. Zhu Wendong was thinking about the pros and cons of the matter, while Zhou Sian considerately did not interrupt him.
When she finished her coffee, Zhou Si'an said, "It's getting late. Let me take you home."
Zhu Wendong came to her senses and realized that the cup was almost empty. She nodded and said, "It's okay, I drove here by myself."
Zhou Si'an already remembered that she was used to driving herself from the last time they went to Hesheng Hotel.
He thoughtfully opened the door of the cafe for her and said, "Okay, be careful on the road."
Zhu Wendong thanked him and walked out the door sideways. He had just taken two steps towards the parked car when he found someone standing in front of the car.
The rear end of his Cullinan was pressed tightly against another car. Zhu Wendong walked over and saw a deep scratch on the rear end.
"Are you the owner of this car?" the girl asked her nervously.
Zhu Wendong took out his phone and took two photos, "Yes."
The girl immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, I just got my driver's license and I'm not very familiar with backing into a parking space. I accidentally scratched your car. How much compensation do you want? I'll pay it to you."
Although the girl had just obtained her driver's license, she could still recognize the Cullinan model. When she thought that she might lose all her savings because of a scratch, she was in tears.
Zhu Wendong saw that she was young and probably still in school, so he said casually, "It's okay, no need to pay, I bought insurance."
The girl was immediately filled with gratitude, and the tears in her eyes turned into a catalyst for excitement. Because she had something urgent to do, she added Zhu Wendong's contact information and left in a hurry.
After Zhu Wendong and the insurance company's tow truck towed the car away, he walked to the side of the road to take a taxi back to Biesong. In his peripheral vision, he saw a figure standing there.
She tilted her head and asked, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
Zhou Si'an walked towards her with the car keys in his hand: "I saw that your car was scratched, and I thought you probably couldn't drive home by yourself, so I waited for a while."
Zhu Wendong said politely, "I'll just take a taxi home."
"It might be hard to get a taxi in this area, but I'm just on my way." Zhou Si'an had already pulled up to the side of the road and said in a tone that brooked no refusal, "Let's go."
It would seem a bit unkind to refuse again, so Zhu Wendong had no choice but to get in his car.
Standing in front of his car, Zhu Wendong pondered for a moment. It seemed a bit inappropriate to sit in the passenger seat, but sitting in the back seat seemed like he was treating her as the driver.
Three seconds later, she chose to sit in the back seat.
Zhou Si'an didn't say much when he saw this, but a hint of loss flashed in his eyes.
Zhu Wendong told him the address of the community.
Zhou Si'an responded and started navigating, and the car fell silent.
In Zhu Wendong's impression, Zhou Sian seemed to be a quiet person, but this was also good. She didn't need to deliberately find topics to talk about, and it was very comfortable to get along with him.
If you really want to maintain that kind of relationship, it's actually not bad.
Zhu Wendong kept looking out the window until a familiar road condition emerged in the scenery, and the car stopped at the gate of Biesong Community.
Zhou Si'an tilted his head to look at her, his eyes soft and gentle, "We're here."
"Thank you." Zhu Wendong unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door, and was about to enter the community when he was stopped by someone behind him.
"Zhu Wendong." Zhou Si'an held the steering wheel with one hand and looked at her back.
Zhu Wendong turned around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Si'an said slowly: "I'll wait for your reply."
Zhu Wendong said okay, then the car drove out of sight and she turned and walked into the community.
In the distance, under the shade of a leafy tree, there was a tall and slender figure. The man had handsome features, his hands in his pockets, a lazy posture, and his eyes wandered casually on the back of the person entering the community.
After a long time, the man took action. He took out the mobile phone from his pocket and made a series of random calls.
"Second Young Master Qi." The person on the other end of the phone called out respectfully after the call was connected.
Qi Yanxue kicked the gravel on the ground boredly and said slowly, "Butler Li, my brother has returned to China?"
Butler Li answered honestly, "Neither Director Qi nor the eldest young master has returned to China."
"Okay, I understand."
Without waiting for the person on the other end to speak, Qi Yanxue hung up the phone neatly and walked into the community.
He took big steps, and when he reached the downstairs, the figure who had been much faster than him was still standing on the first floor waiting for the elevator.
Zhu Wendong saw him coming out of the corner of his eye and was a little surprised, but he said nothing and looked away as if nothing had happened.
After taking the elevator to the 23rd floor, Zhu Wendong couldn't help but speak.
"I still have some stuff at your house. Do you have time to get it to me now?"
He was too busy to get it yesterday, but now he looks like he has nothing to do, so he should have time to get it.
"Okay." Qi Yanxue pressed the door lock code to open the door. With a dull expression, he took the remaining things and gave them to her. Then he remembered something and said, "Go to the hospital to pick up Donggua tomorrow. I have something to do."
Zhu Wendong was holding some odds and ends in his arms. He counted them carefully to see if anything was missing, and nodded in agreement when he heard this.
Seeing this, Qi Yanxue teased, "Why, are you afraid that I'll take something from you?"
She lowered her head, her almond-shaped eyes rolling around on those things, like a clever fox.
Zhu Wendong looked up at him and said softly, "No."
Qi Yanxue looked away indifferently and said calmly, "Then you understand, don't come to me to settle the score if you lose something."
I've already said it's not true, why are you still holding on to it?
Zhu Wendong was too lazy to explain further and just followed his lead, saying, "No, I won't settle the score with you, don't worry."
After saying that, she turned around and went back to the house with her things.
Qi Yanxue was afraid that she would forget, so she reminded her from behind: "Don't forget tomorrow."
At the last moment before the door closed, Zhu Wendong shouted back, "I know."
