What do you think of me? Lu Xiaoqiao didn't know what he was asking specifically, but since he asked her, she always had to say the best thing: "I think you, Mr. Zhou, are a very nice person. You are gentle, polite, warm-hearted, and you love to help others."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoqiao said, Zhou Qizhen didn't understand for a moment whether she was praising him or scolding him.
Warm-hearted? If people who know Zhou Qizheng in the business world heard this, they would probably think that the person who said this was crazy.
Although he cannot be called a bad person to have reached his current position, he is definitely not gentle, polite and kind-hearted.
As for his love of helping others, no one except her could make him lose his mind and help others time and time again.
"What about other aspects?"
"What aspect? Are you talking about looks or something else? If it's about that aspect, then there's nothing to say. Mr. Zhou, you're handsome, capable at work, have a good family background, and are kind to the younger generation. Lin Lin often praises you in front of me, saying that she's lucky to have an uncle like you. I even said that I envy her for having an uncle like you!"
Of course, Lin Lin had complained to her many times about how strict and mean her uncle was, but she couldn't say that.
Zhou Qizheng's fingers were rubbing the steering wheel unconsciously. The first words she said were quite pleasing to the ear, but the latter words...
"Oh!" He chuckled. He had been busy for a long time, but the little girl still treated him as an elder. How could this be possible? He was unwilling and would not agree. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "I don't want to be your uncle."
"ah?"
Looking at her innocent and ignorant look, Zhou Qizheng sighed softly, raised his eyes and stared into her eyes, and said seriously: "Can't you see? I like you."
Seeing that she was about to speak, he interrupted her again: "It's not the love of the elders for the younger ones, it's the love between lovers."
Lu Xiaoqiao was not sure whether she was shocked or frightened by his words. Her face was full of disbelief. She unconsciously clenched the wet towel in her hands and stammered, "You...you are kidding me."
"I'm not joking, I'm serious. I know this may come as a surprise to you, but I still want to say it."
Lu Xiaoqiao was a little overwhelmed: "I, I don't think we are suitable."
He continued, "What's wrong with it? I think we are a good match. Do you think it's because of my age?"
"no."
"So you hate me?"
"Not annoying." Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head.
"But apart from this, we are really not suitable in any way. Our family background and social status are not suitable."
Hearing her say that she didn't dislike him and that it wasn't because of age issues, Zhou Qizhen felt relieved. The words had been spoken and he didn't have to hide his feelings anymore. His eyes were full of sincerity and affection as he looked at her.
"You haven't even given me a chance, how do you know we're not suitable? What I mean is, let's give it a try first. If you think you really don't like me, then tell me. What do you think?"
Lu Xiaoqiao felt so confused at the moment that she didn't even dare to look up at his eyes.
She didn't dislike him, and she admitted in her heart that he was a very good and excellent person, but he was too excellent, so excellent that for an ordinary person like her, it would be stressful for them to be together. To her, they were a perfect match.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Zhou Qizheng continued, "My father and sister both know what I mean, and they agree. I promise you that I will never let you suffer any grievances in this regard, either now or in the future." Lin asked carefully, "Is that okay?"
The more sincere Zhou Qizhen's words were, the more pressured she felt, as if she would be ignorant of right and wrong if she didn't agree to him.
But she had never thought about their relationship in that way. She wanted to say that she had always regarded him as her elder, but she had just said that it was not an issue of age. Now she didn't know how to answer, so she just perfunctorily replied, "I, I'll go back and think about it."
I could then tell him on WeChat that it was inappropriate, and neither of us would feel awkward. After I finished speaking, I was about to open the car door and get out, but it didn't open after I tried twice.
He turned to look at Zhou Qizhen in the driver's seat: "The door can't be opened."
"Think about it now. I'll give you five minutes."
Lu Xiaoqiao: “…”
"What can you think about in five minutes? I'm mad at you for doing this!"
Hearing her say this, Zhou Qizhen unlocked the car reluctantly.
Seeing the car door unlocked, Lu Xiaoqiao opened the door and got out, and Zhou Qizheng followed suit: "Give me a deadline, how long do you want to consider it?"
Lu Xiaoqiao stopped at the staircase, turned around, and said with lowered eyelashes: "I'll tell you on WeChat when I think about it."
Zhou Qizheng took a few steps forward and said, "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow and will be back in three days. Can we meet and talk about it then?"
"Let's talk about it later!" This time she ran upstairs without looking back.
Lu Xiaoqiao ran to the fourth floor in one breath, and when she opened the door, she saw her two roommates watching TV in the living room.
"You guys haven't slept yet?" Lu Xiaoqiao asked while changing her shoes.
They both looked at her, and Zhao Jia said, "Waiting for you!"
"Oh, Sister Jia, have you and Momo washed up?"
"Zhao Jia and I have finished showering. Xiao Qiao, why is your face so red? Are you cold because you didn't wear enough clothes today? I just pulled the curtains and saw you standing downstairs. I was wondering why you didn't come up for so long."
"It's OK, not too cold."
She wasn't cold at all. She was obviously frightened by Zhou Qizhen's sudden confession, and a little shy.
But after listening to what Qin Momo said, her already rosy cheeks became even redder.
In order to hide her embarrassment, Lu Xiaoqiao picked up the cup and drank the water, but Zhao Jia's next words made her spit out all the water.
"Mr. Zhou confessed his feelings to you?"
Zhao Jia looked at her flushed little face. The look on her face was as if someone had caught her and Zhou Qizhen having an improper relationship.
"Really? I made a bet with Zhao Zhizhi. He said that Mr. Zhou would most likely confess his feelings on his birthday today. It turns out that men understand men better than men." He nodded after saying that.
Lu Xiaoqiao was confused: "What?"
"Stupid! Confessions on birthdays have a better chance of success! At least give it a chance on someone's birthday!"
"No, I mean how do you know him..." Lu Xiaoqiao was a little shy and didn't continue.
Zhao Jia rolled his eyes at her and said, "You little idiot, you can't see that. How can a CEO of a listed group have so much free time to be your driver every other day? He must be driving for you."
Lu Xiaoqiao sat on the sofa in a daze: "I thought he was being nice to me because of my relationship with Lin Lin."
"If that's the case, he could have just asked the driver to take you there instead of having to go back and forth himself."
"By the way, the sisters will all cling to you from now on."
Lu Xiaoqiao pursed her lips and said, "You should find someone else to hold me. I think I'm going to disappoint you."
Zhao Jia was surprised and said, "No way! You don't even like Zhou Qizheng?"
Qin Momo also said, "Yes! Xiao Qiao, Mr. Zhou is so outstanding, don't you like him?"
Lu Xiaoqiao sighed: "Ah! We are not from the same world. Besides, I really never thought about it that way. Even if I didn't put him in the position of an elder, I really never thought about him that way."
"Why would you even think about it? If you don't hold on to such an excellent man, there will be many people who will miss you."
Lu Xiaoqiao said: "Yes, how could he choose me when he is so outstanding? It's very strange. What else do I have besides my good looks? What people of their status lack the most is women, especially beautiful women."
Lu Xiaoqiao leaned back and slumped down on the sofa. "We can't even eat together. He's having medium-rare steak and thin-crust pizza with premium red wine, but I'm still worrying about whether to put eggs in my pancakes tomorrow morning. Do you know? His lighter costs more than 200,000 yuan, and his cufflinks are worth several of my life."
Zhao Jia was so shocked by Lu Xiaoqiao's words that he was speechless for a long time. He said that she was sober in this regard, which was not what she should be at her age.
