Chapter 80 His heart has a moonlight
"What's it commemorating?" Manager Cai shrugged. "It's just a fit of spite. I came up with a similar name to annoy them!"
The call ended with the two of them not reaching an agreement except for reminiscing about the past.
Let’s not talk about how the fund manager got bald, but Ling Qingzhou was still not satisfied after hanging up the phone. His tie, which had been pulled loose in the middle of the call, hung crookedly around his neck, making him look even more disheveled.
Although he is over 40, he insists on exercising and keeps in excellent shape. He is 1.82 meters tall, with long arms and legs and an upright figure. He looks like a young man in his thirties.
Coupled with that handsome face, he exudes the charm of a mature man, which is especially popular with young girls.
Fortunately, Ling Qingzhou does not do anything reckless, and can even be said to be clean.
Zhou Qin placed a cup of warm tea in front of him. It had been prepared half an hour ago and was brought out only after it had cooled to the right temperature.
After being married for eighteen years, she knows every habit of his.
"Where's my son?" As the tea went down his throat, Ling Qingzhou's irritability gradually subsided.
Zhou Qin: "Classes are on the second floor."
The man raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised: "He has been working hard recently."
"You have to study hard," Zhou Qin said, sitting down beside him, a smile on her face. "Your son was knocked off the top spot in the grade by a female classmate in the last monthly exam. I heard he also scored four points less than her in the physics competition this time. He's been feeling resentful and secretly competing with her."
"Oh? Is there anyone who can beat him in the exam?"
Zhou Qin glared at him: "Isn't your son the Invincible Eastern King, who is invincible in the world?"
Ling Qingzhou chuckled softly, the wrinkles that suddenly appeared at the corners of his eyes adding a touch of kindness to his fierce face. "That's not the case. It's better to give him some setbacks. Don't let everything go so smoothly for him at such a young age."
"Yeah, that's the truth."
After talking about their son, the couple seemed to have no other topics to talk about, or rather, Zhou Qin did, but Ling Qingzhou was not very interested.
"I have some unfinished business, so I'm going to the study first."
"Okay." Zhou Qin stood up and watched her husband go upstairs. She suppressed the gloom in her eyes and turned to look at the nanny. "Go ahead, you can start cooking. Make sure to remove all the tendons from the green beans. Check them twice."
"Don't worry, ma'am." The nanny had worked in the Ling family for several years and knew the owner's eating habits very well. She knew that her husband hated foods with tendons like green beans and cowpeas, so they had to be carefully removed from the food.
And she has indeed done so over the years, not daring to be negligent or perfunctory in the slightest, but every time the wife would still patiently remind her.
She thought that no wife in the world could be more competent than the wife.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Ling Xuan's side finished. After Zhou Qin sent the two teachers away with a smile, she told the nanny to prepare dinner and then went upstairs to call Ling Qingzhou.
The study door was not locked, and it opened with a slight twist. "Husband, the meal is ready—"
At the same time, the man quickly closed the document in front of him and then calmly locked it in the safe.
Zhou Qin lowered her eyes, then raised them again, and finished the rest of her words with a smile: "It's done, go down, don't keep the child waiting for too long."
"Um."
Ling Qingzhou stood up and left the study. Zhou Qin followed behind and gently closed the door as before.
Through the constantly closing gap, her eyes involuntarily fell on the safe in the corner that was half a person's height, and then quickly moved away as if she had been burned.
In fact, he didn't need to hide, because she already knew what was locked inside.
Isn't it just a photo?
The woman laughed at herself, and with a click, the door closed completely.
Back then, when Zhou Qin chose to marry Ling Qingzhou, she knew that there was a white moonlight hidden deep in this man's heart.
I heard that it was a love affair that they had in the imperial capital when they were young, but for some reason, the woman died, so he left sadly and settled in Linhuai.
When Zhou Qin met him, the man was far less successful than he is now. At that time, he had just started from scratch and made a little money, but he did not stop at the status quo of being content with a small fortune. Instead, he secretly planned for a bigger future!
This is an ambitious and capable man. He may not be very gentle and considerate, and may not be good at sweet talk, but he has the strongest arms in the world and possesses the responsibilities that a man should have.
Marrying him may not be romantic, but it will definitely make you feel very secure.
So, Zhou Qin plunged in without hesitation.
As for Bai Yueguang, she is dead, so what does it matter?
Could it be that decades of companionship in the future are no match for a fleeting, innocent memory from youth? Could it be that a living being cannot compete with a dead person destined to fade away with time?
Zhou Qin is very confident.
And this kind of confidence lasted until the couple got married and until Ling Xuan was born.
But time is long and unforgiving. As Ling Qingzhou's business grew, his social engagements became more numerous, and he returned home later and later, Zhou Qin's confidence gradually crumbled and eventually disappeared.
Then she saw her own folly—
It turns out that companionship cannot compare to heartbeat, and the living cannot compete with the dead!
The photos in the safe that are treasured and taken out from time to time, as well as the "Mingyue Buildings" that have sprung up in various middle schools in Linhuai City, are all evidence!
The blood was in front of her eyes, like a sharp knife cutting through bones and flesh.
But Zhou Qin never asked any further questions. This was the last bit of dignity she could maintain.
As long as she is still "Mrs. Ling", she will still have a place in this family; as long as she does not mention divorce, Ling Qingzhou will still be her husband and the father of her son!
She told herself that moonlight was illusory after all and posed no threat.
But why does my heart feel so sad every time I hear that he is going to build a building, or every time I see him open the safe?
…
Two days later, Ling Qingzhou and Yi Hansheng were invited to a business reception.
After exchanging pleasantries with the host, the two walked to an inconspicuous corner of the venue and sat down face to face in the shade of potted plants.
Ling Qingzhou was wearing a white suit, and behind his gold-rimmed glasses were a pair of gentle and smiling eyes. But if you looked closely, you would find that there was no smile at the corners of the man's mouth, only a warm and cold look.
Yi Hansheng was the complete opposite. His burgundy suit was bold and flamboyant, with a white base and a red bow tie. His long, well-defined arms stretched out in straight lines to both sides, and then his elbows were half-bent, casually resting on the back of the chair. His sitting posture was visibly unsophisticated, but it did not detract from his uninhibited charm at all.
When their eyes met, one was warm and the other was rough, one was calm and the other was intense.
The atmosphere gradually became tense.
Yi Hansheng couldn't stand it any longer and started scolding: "Ling Qingzhou, you stinky bastard! I was the one who talked to No. 1 Middle School first, why are you so jealous? Even wild dogs fighting over shit are not as busy as you, you idiot! What are you laughing at? I'm scolding you, don't you understand? It's been so many years, why are you still like this? I'm holding back my laughter for you!"
The whole paragraph was said in one breath without taking a breath.
drop!
Your "Zuan President" is online, please check it out.
Ling Qingzhou tried hard to keep smiling: "..."
But I still have something to say, MMP, but I don’t know whether I should say it or not?
To be clear, the heroine has never dated Ling or Yi! They've never had any romantic feelings for each other! "White moonlight" doesn't just mean "lover"; it can also mean "rival," "idol," "relative," "friend," and so on.
What Zhou Qin saw was just what she thought, not what was actually true.
So don’t say that the heroine is fickle and has loved others. This article insists on being both pure and innocent. Of course, there will also be a super boss who regards the heroine as his “white moonlight who cannot be loved”!
(Ah! I am full of desire to survive)
