Chapter 183: Another meal After coming out of the hospital, Shen Zhiyu’s face was not very good.
Zhou Yunjie followed him towards the parking lot, his heart in turmoil, thinking about how to make up for what he had just said.
—A friend...
——The unavoidable hardship...
It was only at this moment that she realized that there was indeed something wrong with her expression at that time.
It seems as if the two were forced to get married.
Although, this is indeed the fact, but... it seems a bit pretentious to say it out loud.
As a result, until he got in the car, Shen Zhiyu didn't say another word to her. He started the car with an expressionless face and drove away from the hospital.
For a moment, the only sound in the car was the slight hum of the air conditioner.
Zhou Yunjie sat in the passenger seat, twisting the corner of his clothes unconsciously with his fingers. He always felt that it was not good to remain silent like this. After all, the other person had just helped him solve the consultation problem.
After hesitating for a long time, she cleared her throat and said softly, "Um...thank you for what happened just now."
Shen Zhiyu said "hmm" in a short and cold voice, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked at her, "How are you going to thank me?"
Remembering that he had just promised to treat someone to dinner in the morning and now owed someone a favor, Zhou Yunjie glanced at Shen Zhiyu cautiously, his eyes wandering.
"How about..." She bit her lower lip and whispered, "Another meal?"
Shen Zhiyu snorted coldly, his thin lips pressed tightly into a line, obviously not satisfied with this answer.
After a few seconds, his voice echoed in the car, "I helped you with the consultation, so I've made up for it... Can the Chen Jingjing incident be put behind us?"
Now that people have said so, what else can Zhou Yunjie say?
She lowered her eyelashes, still feeling a surge of energy in her heart, as if a ball of pent-up anger was stuck in her chest. In the end, she just whispered, "Whatever you say..."
"When did my words work so well with you?" Shen Zhiyu tilted his head to look at her, tapping the steering wheel twice with his fingertips. "I'm just... an ordinary friend."
He deliberately emphasized the word "ordinary," his tone carrying a hint of nonchalant sarcasm, "You had your own reasons for marrying me, huh?"
Zhou Yunjie knew that he would not let him go so easily, so he came to him.
"I just... said it casually." She explained in a low voice.
"Just a casual remark?" Shen Zhiyu didn't intend to let her go so easily. "Whatever you can say must be what you have thought about in your head. I think you said it casually to express your true feelings..."
That's obviously the case!
Zhou Yunjie thought to himself, you and I were just ordinary friends. We only got a marriage certificate because we agreed to get married. Otherwise, what kind of connection could the two of us have?
But she only dared to think about this in her heart. Shen Zhiyu had too many tricks. Every time she yelled at him, she would be slapped in the face by reality.
"I was wrong, okay?" She looked at the man's profile and whispered, "You are a great man and don't bear grudges. Don't bother with me... I..."
"Okay, that's all you can say to me."
Zhou Yunjie was interrupted by Shen Zhiyu before he could finish his words. He had no choice but to sit up straight and look out the window in silence.
Fortunately, Shen Zhiyu didn't embarrass her any further during the rest of the trip. She also had time to reply to Lin Xiaotang's WeChat message and soothe her bestie's irritable mood.
