Chapter 118: Same Bed, Different Dreams

When Zhou Cheng saw Su Qingyan coming over, he put out the cigarette he had just lit and hadn't taken a few puffs of, in the trash can.

Su Qingyan was startled by the familiar scene, and the scene on the island appeared before his eyes again.

Isn't this such a coincidence? Was Zhou Cheng seeing me again?

Su Qingyan cried out in pain, are he and Jiang Xingyao so incompatible? Why does he always get into trouble so accurately?

"Go back." Zhou Cheng didn't say anything else, his expression was very calm.

"Um...I still want to pick out a ring."

Su Qingyan took Zhou Cheng's hand and wanted to take him back to the banquet hall.

"Some other time."

Zhou Cheng didn't move and tried to break free from Su Qingyan's hand, but he held it tightly.

"Then let's go home." Su Qingyan immediately changed direction.

Zhou Cheng did not refuse this time and got into the car with Su Qingyan.

The way home was very quiet. The driver wanted to use the BGM method again, but this time Zhou Cheng directly turned off the song.

The driver was a little surprised. Normally, Dr. Zhou would not just start without saying a word.

Seeing him like this, Su Qingyan did not say anything. Instead, she began to silently review what Jiang Xingyao had just said to her, guessing where Zhou Cheng had heard it from.

After the two returned home in silence, Zhou Cheng went to the guest bathroom to wash his hands, and Su Qingyan also took off his coat and went to take a shower. He lingered in the bathroom for a long time before coming out again.

Zhou Cheng was not in the bedroom, but typing on the computer in the study.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Su Qingyan opened the door and asked him.

"You go to sleep first." Zhou Cheng didn't look up.

Seeing his indifferent look, Su Qingyan walked into the study nervously.

"Zhou Cheng, don't listen to Jiang Er's nonsense."

"Yeah." Zhou Cheng still didn't look up.

"It's all a mess of old things."

Su Qingyan walked around the desk and stood behind Zhou Cheng, holding his shoulders with both hands.

But Zhou Cheng still didn't say anything. The sound of typing on the keyboard made Su Qingyan upset, but he still patiently continued to please Zhou Cheng.

"Let's go and customize a couple's ring tomorrow, and engrave our names on the inner circle, okay?" Su Qingyan gently shook Zhou Cheng's shoulder.

"I'll be at work tomorrow."

Zhou Cheng was already upset, and Su Qingyan's endless nagging made it even worse.

"Are you hungry? I'll ask Auntie to bring some food over."

Seeing that Zhou Cheng still had a cold face, Su Qingyan changed the subject, but Zhou Cheng just nodded perfunctorily and didn't even open his voice.

Su Qingyan was about to lose control of her emotions because of Zhou Cheng's attitude and wanted to leave this suffocating study, but before leaving, she still held Zhou Cheng's face and kissed him on the lips.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Cheng frowned and dodged.

Su Qingyan was about to argue, but then he felt that he was in the wrong, so he had to leave in disappointment.

Zhou Cheng returned to the bedroom in the early morning. When he pushed the door open, he found Su Qingyan pretending to be asleep, which was exactly what he wanted. He really didn't know how to face Su Qingyan now.

He didn't have much to say about Jiang Xingyao's unilateral flirting with Su Qingyan. After all, he couldn't stop others from being mean. But the time point mentioned by Jiang Xingyao really hurt his heart.

They were still in touch on Christmas Day.

Su Qingyan had already started pursuing me fiercely before Christmas, so what am I?

After Zhou Cheng lay down on the bed, he deeply experienced what it meant to sleep in the same bed but have different dreams. He stared at the ceiling for a long time and couldn't fall asleep.

Su Qingyan pretended to turn over, then hugged Zhou Cheng and held him close to his arms. Zhou Cheng's body was stiff, so he had to pretend to be asleep.

The next day, when Zhou Cheng was woken up by the alarm clock, he found that Su Qingyan had gotten up earlier than him for the first time.

He came to the restaurant and saw Su Qingyan already busy making breakfast.

"I tried to fry an egg, but it turned out a little mushy. You'll have to make do with it."

Su Qingyan said as he brought up a plate of eggs that had turned caramel-colored.

"Milk, blueberries, oatmeal, protein, vitamins, and carbohydrates. Pretty balanced nutrition, right?"

After Su Qingyan brought out all the small plates, she looked forward to Zhou Cheng's praise.

"Thank you." Zhou Cheng didn't know why he said thank you, and he was stunned for a moment after he said it.

Su Qingyan took a bite of the fried egg and put it back on the plate without touching it. Zhou Cheng handed her the cup of hot milk he had prepared for her.

That was their only interaction that morning.

Zhou Cheng rejected Su Qingyan's offer to take him to school and drove away alone.

Su Qingyan stood on the balcony and watched the car gradually disappear from sight, and his unhappy mood reached its peak.

Southeast Asia, Golden Triangle.

Wan Lin's transaction here was not smooth, and it could even be said that he encountered danger.

"Boss Wan, this is not what we discussed before."

The man who was speaking was not young, and his beard was already gray, but there was a fierce gleam in his eyes that made people shudder.

"If you don't agree, there's no need for us to continue talking." Wan Lin looked at the other party with disdain.

"Boss Wan, I respectfully call you Boss now, but if you continue to act this way, you'll have to rest for a hundred days even if you're injured."

"We are a nation of etiquette. Don't threaten me with your barbaric ways."

Floating Light is now gaining momentum and is in high demand everywhere, but because of the small probability of side effects, more and more voices of doubt are emerging. Wan Lin came this time to resolve the issue of continued cooperation.

He had been searched and all his weapons removed before entering the house, and now he was negotiating with the other party with his bare hands.

But the talks are on the verge of collapse.

In the end, the other party couldn't stand Wan Lin's arrogance anymore and locked him up.

But even though he was imprisoned, he was provided with good food and drink, but he lost his personal freedom.

Jiang Yuexing didn't expect Wan Lin to mess things up. After all, Wan Lin was in full charge of Southeast Asia before, and there were basically no major problems.

But Fu Guang was very important to Jiang Yuexing, so he had to do it himself, and this time he brought a foolproof bargaining chip.

"Mr. Jiang, it took you so long to be honest with me."

Su Chonglin sat on Jiang Yuexing's private plane and left the country with him.

"Mr. Su, now we are really on a ship."

Jiang Yuexing knew very well that Su Chonglin had been on the border for so many years and his influence had already spread beyond the borders. Now was the critical moment when he needed to use these relationships.

Instead of hiding things from each other, it is better to join forces.

The plane landed smoothly in the Golden Triangle. Su Chonglin's men had been waiting for a long time.

There are warlords fighting for power here, and there are several factions of anti-government armed forces, and the situation is extremely chaotic.

The faction that is on good terms with Su Chonglin is only one of them, and with Su Chonglin's support, it is now at its peak.

The force that imprisoned Wan Lin was not on good terms with them, but they were not hostile either. Now that they heard that Wan Lin's big boss behind the scenes was coming, they began to think about whether to go or stay in this business.
