Chapter Ninety-Seven: Never Give Up
He Mingzhou smiled when he heard Xin Li's words: "Are you worried about Xie Shuangshuang?"
He Mingzhou really didn't know whether to say that Xin Li was magnanimous or that she was carefree.
It's clear that Xie Shuangshuang has her eye on her husband.
Ke Xinli seemed nervous, but she always seemed to be waiting to see what would happen.
This is not the attitude a wife should have.
He Mingzhou's eyes darkened at this thought.
Perhaps the feelings between the two people are not deep enough.
“莘莘” (shēn shēn)
Xin Li's heart skipped a beat when she heard the man's hoarse voice: "You—"
She quickly pressed against the man's chest: "Stop fooling around, I have things to do tomorrow."
Given He Mingzhou's stamina, if she were to let this man do whatever he wanted, she might not be able to get out of bed tomorrow.
"I will go with you."
He Mingzhou kissed Xin Li's forehead: "And there's no rush."
Xin Li: "..."
Listen to what this person is saying!
This man has no shame in order to do that.
"Only for a short while!"
Xin Li made a request.
She has other things to do.
I can't keep playing with He Mingzhou, that stamina monster.
He Mingzhou readily agreed: "Okay, in a bit."
Xinli believed him, so she wasn't on guard.
After He Mingzhou stalled for a while, Xin Li finally realized that she had been deceived.
"Congratulations, Mingzhou!"
She was completely limp, lying on the bed.
This angry shout had little deterrent effect.
On the contrary, He Mingzhou's eyes darkened upon hearing this, and he leaned closer to Xin Li.
"What's wrong?"
His voice was incredibly gentle, but his movements never stopped.
Xinli stared unfocusedly at the ceiling.
Men's words are indeed the least reliable.
Even the usually reliable He Mingzhou became a completely different person in bed...
In the end, Xin Li didn't even have the strength to move her fingers, so she could only let He Mingzhou carry her to the bathroom to wash up.
A man who is satisfied is visibly in a good mood.
Xin Li even heard He Mingzhou humming a song.
She wanted to roll her eyes, but considering He Mingzhou's personality, she could only sigh and fall asleep with her arms around his waist.
He Mingzhou saw that Xin Li had fallen asleep in his arms without any guard up.
Her once bright and beautiful face now looked very well-behaved, with a hint of affection in her eyes.
He carried Xinli to bed and put her to sleep, then got out of bed himself, intending to go to the kitchen to make something.
Xinli gets hungry easily, and she just expended a lot of energy. If we don't prepare some food, she might be hungry when she wakes up.
He Mingzhou strode into the kitchen, and just as he lit the stove, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
He Mingzhou glanced out the window in confusion.
Who could be coming at this time?
With these questions in mind, He Mingzhou walked into the courtyard.
Who is it?
He asked softly.
"He Mingzhou."
Xie Shuangshuang's voice came from outside the door: "It's me. I have something I want to tell you. Can I come in?"
He Mingzhou's face was extremely ugly.
He didn't expect Xie Shuangshuang to dare to come directly to him.
If word gets out that the two met at this time, even if he and Xie Shuangshuang didn't do anything, they'll likely be perceived as acting suspiciously in everyone's eyes.
Moreover, if Xinli found out, although she would believe him, she would definitely feel uncomfortable deep down.
After all, who would want to meet up with a good person in the middle of the night?
"Comrade Xie Shuangshuang, it's already very late. What brings you here?"
"If it's not very important, let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow. It's getting late, you should go home now."
The thought of a girl wandering the island late at night was chilling to He Mingzhou.
Especially since no one has a nightlife on the island, if someone gets up in the middle of the night and finds a ghost-like person wandering outside, they might get terrified.
Thinking of this, He Mingzhou's tone became even more calm and serious: "Comrade Xie Shuangshuang, I am already married and have a family. I hope you can have some sense of propriety and stop bothering me."
Xie Shuangshuang didn't expect that after she lowered herself so much to find He Mingzhou, he would not only not be moved, but would also warn her.
She suddenly felt a surge of anger that she didn't know where to vent.
He could only continue banging on the door angrily: "Open the door first, I really have something to say to you."
He Mingzhou simply did not believe that Xie Shuangshuang was just talking.
After all, the two of them interacted a lot, and she could find countless opportunities to speak before she had something to say.
They just happened to come at this time; who would believe there wasn't something fishy going on?
"You really don't trust me?"
Xie Shuangshuang's voice sounded somewhat sorrowful and pitiful.
"I defied my father for you, begging him to let me come to you, and this is how you treat me?"
"He Mingzhou, is your heart made of stone? Don't you realize how excessive you've gone?"
If it were someone else, they might have softened after hearing Xie Shuangshuang's words.
Unfortunately, she met He Mingzhou.
He Mingzhou already felt that Xie Shuangshuang was being unreasonable, and now that he heard her say this, he felt that she not only lacked a sense of propriety but also had no empathy.
She felt that as the deputy commander's daughter, she could do whatever she wanted, completely disregarding whether her actions would destroy other people's families or disrupt their harmony.
She is a complete and utter selfish person.
"Comrade Xie Shuangshuang, I made it clear to you a long time ago that I have no feelings for you."
“I am grateful that you like me. In a way, it is also a kind of affirmation from you, and I am very happy. But that doesn’t mean I have to reciprocate your liking.”
"Besides, I'm already married and have a family. Your continued harassment is not good for either of us."
"Comrade Xie Shuangshuang, please think more about yourself and the deputy commander. Once these things get out, are you sure the deputy commander will really be happy?"
When He Mingzhou brought up his father, Xie Shuangshuang fell silent.
She knew, of course, what her father's attitude would be.
In fact, if her father hadn't been so disapproving of her relationship with He Mingzhou from the beginning, she would have bravely pursued her love when she was in the provincial team.
Her father said he needed to observe her carefully, so she could only try to win him over by being kind to him.
Unexpectedly, He Mingzhou completely failed to grasp her feelings.
Not only that, he left in a very carefree manner, without any regrets whatsoever.
Xie Shuangshuang refused to believe that she had left no trace in the other person's heart. She had gone to great lengths to chase after him, not to get a "I don't like you" in return.
She didn't care about liking or disliking anyone; whatever Xie Shuangshuang wanted, she would never allow anyone to take it away!
"He Mingzhou, you wait, I will never give up!"
After saying that, Xie Shuangshuang turned and ran away.
Hearing the footsteps outside, He Mingzhou shook his head helplessly.
He didn't chase after her. Given Xie Shuangshuang's status and position, the people on the island would only want to worship her, and there was no way they would dare to harm her.
With that thought in mind, He Mingzhou returned to the kitchen with peace of mind.
