Chapter 554 I'm Willing to Wait for You

Riemann smiled, gave a thumbs-up gesture, and said, "Go for it!"

"Thank you, I will," Zhou Shen said.

...

After the handover was completed, Chen Xiaohui also went off work.

Tan Xiyuan's house was nearby, and she slowly walked back.

As she turned the corner, she saw a familiar figure standing there.

She stopped in her tracks.

Upon seeing Chen Xiaohui, Zhou Shen immediately ran towards her.

Chen Xiaohui frowned slightly. "You're waiting for me here?"

"Yes." Zhou Shen's lips curved into a simple, honest smile.

Chen Xiaohui's expression was cold: "What do you want?"

Zhou Shen nervously scratched his head and said, "Xiao Hui, I'm willing to wait for you until you accept me."

A hint of warmth appeared in Chen Xiaohui's usually cold eyes. "Why...why bother?"

Zhou Shen said earnestly, "I mean it. I will wait for you until you accept me!"

Chen Xiaohui's voice softened involuntarily: "Would you still be willing to marry An Xin?"

"I do!"

Chen Xiaohui smiled bitterly: "Why do you have to do this? It's not like you don't have other women. Why did you wait for me for so long?"

"I'm not interested in any other women, I'm only interested in you!"

Chen Xiaohui's cheeks flushed slightly. She lowered her eyes and said self-deprecatingly, "I'm not some great beauty. Am I worth you waiting so long for?"

“It’s worth it. In my eyes, you are one of a kind,” Zhou Shen said with fervent eyes.

Chen Xiaohui looked up at him and said seriously, "You said it yourself, so don't regret it later!"

"I won't regret it, but can you please stop ignoring me? Let's go grocery shopping together like before, okay? I just want to help you; you're suffering too much on your own."

A wave of emotion washed over her, and Chen Xiaohui nodded, saying, "Okay, I promise you."

Zhou Shen's face immediately broke into a bright smile, and he said excitedly, "Xiao Hui, you're so kind."

Seeing Zhou Shen's silly and goofy look, Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but burst out laughing. "I never agreed to be with you, so what did I do to deserve this?"

"At least you're willing to talk to me now," Zhou Shen said with a simple, silly grin.

He felt extremely uncomfortable during the time Chen Xiaohui ignored him.

It was as if each day felt like an eternity.

Actually, Chen Xiaohui also had a tough time during this period.

She said, "Then let's be friends. If you meet someone you like someday, you can leave me anytime, and I won't blame you."

Zhou Shen only heard the first half of the sentence and automatically skipped the second half. "Okay, I'll do whatever you say, as long as you don't ignore me."

Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but say, "You're so silly!"

Zhou Shen grinned foolishly: "Haven't you heard people say that fools are lucky?"

Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but laugh, "You're so smug, calling you silly."

"Hitting is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love. You say I'm silly, that means you love me!"

Chen Xiaohui laughed again after being amused by Zhou Shen.

Being with Zhou Shen is so joyful; it makes you forget all your troubles.

"Let's go for a walk."

Where should we go shopping?

Zhou Shen said, "I want to buy you a necklace."

Chen Xiaohui blinked, "Why did you buy me a necklace?"

"You didn't want the birthday present last time, so I'm going to make it up to you this time."

"No need, my birthday has already passed," Chen Xiaohui quickly refused.

She was too embarrassed to say that she had picked up the gift.
