Chapter 319 I will not agree to break up.
Jin Moli paused on the other end of the phone.
In his haste, he revealed his true nature and forgot to pretend.
Jin Moli immediately softened her voice, with a hint of grievance, "Mu Bin, I didn't mean anything by it, I was just worried about you. It's so late and you're still not home, and you're not answering my calls."
Zhou Mubin's knuckles turned white from gripping the steering wheel so tightly, and the neon lights outside the window cast flickering shadows on his face through the car window.
Jin Moli's words did not evoke pity or guilt in him; instead, they reminded him of his time with Cui Xiao over the years.
She always knows how to strike the right balance; she's always there when he needs her, and she won't bother him when he doesn't.
That feeling warmed his heart and made him feel at ease.
Especially after confirming her feelings for him today, Zhou Mubin was not only shocked but also somewhat impressed.
If it were him, he would never have been as magnanimous and forbearing as Cui Xiao.
Zhou Mubin's voice was filled with barely suppressed frustration, "I have my own life and my own freedom. I have no obligation to report everything to you. Your constant calling only makes me feel suffocated."
"But I'm your girlfriend."
Zhou Mubin rubbed his forehead. "It doesn't have to be, does it?"
In an instant, Jin Moli's voice rose several times, "What do you mean? You want to break up with me? You're going to dump me, right? How could you do this to me?"
Jin Moli's attitude was like a fuse, instantly igniting Zhou Mubin's long-suppressed emotions.
He slammed his hand on the steering wheel, the horn blaring, drawing the attention of passersby. "Jin Moli, you forced me to do this."
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but the weariness in his voice was undeniable. "When we first got together, you weren't like this. Back then, you were gentle, generous, considerate, and caring. Look at yourself now, so suspicious. Even if I just go out to eat with friends, you have to question me. Xiao Mo, I'm really tired. Let's just end it here and part ways amicably."
Zhou Mubin was already in a bad mood, and with Jin Moli acting so irritably, he lost all interest in everything else.
Actually, this relationship should have ended long ago.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, broken only by Jin Moli's soft sobs.
After a long while, she said in a tearful voice, "Mu Bin, I'll change, okay? I don't want to break up with you, I really love you. Please, give me another chance, okay? I promise I'll never check up on you again, and I'll never ask who you go out with again. I really can't live without you."
Zhou Mubin still felt somewhat uncomfortable upon hearing this.
After all, Jin Moli was the first woman he truly cared for and considered marrying, which was different from those fleeting affairs.
He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and pondered for a long time, but still did not change his mind. "I will give you a breakup fee so that you can live a life of comfort and ease."
After a pause, Zhou Mubin's voice softened a bit, "I will send you away from Hong Kong and back to your original city. Or you can go to another city to start a new life, the choice is yours."
Jin Moli: "No, I don't agree. I will never agree to break up."
Zhou Mubin was determined, "I won't allow you to disagree."
Jin Moli was truly panicked and completely at a loss. "Zhou Mubin, did Cui Xiao contact you? Did she seduce you?"
When the name "Cui Xiao" came out of Jin Moli's mouth, Zhou Mubin's heart skipped a beat.
He hadn't expected that Jin Moli would bring up Cui Xiao on her own initiative.
He opened his mouth, wanting to deny it, but the words just wouldn't come out.
The air in the carriage seemed to freeze, leaving only his heavy breathing and the sound of vehicles passing by outside the window.
Zhou Mubin's Adam's apple bobbed, and his fingertips unconsciously rubbed the steering wheel, the subtle sound being particularly clear in the quiet car.
Zhou Mubin felt guilty, but vehemently denied it, saying, "You're overthinking it."
Outside the car window, a gust of evening wind blew by, swirling up fallen leaves from the roadside, which landed on the window and were quickly blown away by the air currents created by passing vehicles.
Looking at the fallen leaf, Zhou Mubin felt a strange sense of irritation. He rubbed his temples and said, "Alright, you should get some rest."
After saying that, Zhou Mubin hung up the phone.
Jin Moli held the phone that had been hung up on, her face contorted with rage.
She didn't believe it.
She couldn't agree to a single word Zhou Mubin said.
He had been calling out Cui Xiao's name in his dreams for the past few days, so his sudden change must be related to Cui Xiao.
It's all that bitch's fault. Even after leaving the law firm, she still won't stop causing trouble. How can she be so despicable?
I will never let her go. Even if I can't have her, I won't let Cui Xiao have her.
roadside.
Zhou Mubin leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes wearily.
He admitted that he did miss Cui Xiao's independence and thoughtfulness, but he was not without feelings for Jin Moli either. However, these feelings had gradually changed under Jin Moli's endless suspicion and control.
Zhou Mubin was extremely agitated, and subconsciously looked at the window above his head; the light was already off.
Then, Zhou Mubin ate a piece from Xibei.
[Nanzhi isn't here, let's go check out the boxes.]
Zhou Mubin felt the threat wasn't strong enough, so he sent another message: "If you don't go, I'll come to your house and arrest you."
Xibei replied shortly after.
Please come pick me up from the lab in half an hour. Latecomers will not be waited for.
Zhou Mubin put down his phone, gripped the steering wheel, and stepped on the gas, heading straight for Xibei's laboratory.
Zhou Mubin arrived at just the right time; less than five minutes later, Xibei came out of the laboratory.
Upon seeing Zhou Mubin's car, she immediately opened the door and got in, fastening her seatbelt while muttering, "Is Lawyer Zhou troubled by love again?"
Zhou Mubin raised the corners of his mouth, "Well, it turns out Xiaobai guessed pretty accurately."
Xi Bei fastened her seatbelt and sneered, "Besides complaining about this, what else do you think of me for? Old Zhou, I've known you for so many years, I can tell what kind of shit you're going to take just by looking at your ass."
Zhou Mubin frowned as he listened. "Can't you, a young lady from a wealthy family, use polite language?"
Xi Bei raised an eyebrow. "What, does this rich young lady not need to poop?"
Zhou Mubin was speechless. "Fine, I can't explain it to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Mubin stepped on the gas and drove to their usual spot.
Xibei's flight arrived in Gangcheng at 4 PM tonight. Before she even got home, she was called back by the lab to analyze a set of data. The results are only now available.
Zhou Mubin called early; if it had been any later, she would have gone home and gone to sleep.
Even the biggest problem couldn't wake her up.
The two of them each ordered a case of beer and the restaurant's signature dish, a barbecue restaurant full of lively atmosphere that is open until three or four in the morning every day.
It's already this late, and there's still no one missing.
