Chapter 263 Make It Clear
"A reasonable explanation?"
Zhou Yunjie laughed, a bit helplessly, "Do you have to treat everything as a business transaction? You have to calculate the pros and cons before you admit your feelings."
After she finished speaking, she paused, her eyes dimmed, and her voice lowered a few degrees. "There's no other reason. I just want you to taste the pain of being schemed against by others."
Shen Zhiyu looked at her silently for a few seconds, his deep gaze seemed to penetrate her body and see everything in her heart. "Now that I have tasted it, shouldn't we talk about what happened between us?"
"Haven't we agreed on everything between us?" Zhou Yunjie raised his eyes, his tone calm, but his fingertips were slightly curled.
Shen Zhiyu frowned and sighed slightly, "I was wrong about our relationship before. I've been reflecting on it for a while now... I should apologize to you." He looked into Zhou Yunjie's eyes with a complicated expression, "Since we have a child, it proves that we shouldn't be separated..."
"But you don't love me?" Zhou Yunjie interrupted him, feeling her eyes burning. She said in a trembling voice, "Even if the child is born, if he grows up in a family without love, his personality will be affected."
After saying this, she saw Shen Zhiyu's expression suddenly darken, and even his breathing became heavier.
"The word love is too vague."
After Shen Zhiyu finished speaking, he suddenly leaned over and stroked the back of Zhou Yunjie's hand with his thinly calloused thumb. His warm palm slowly wrapped around her slightly cool fingertips. "Although I'm not sure if the feeling in my heart is love, I can be sure that I want to live with you, treat you well, give you everything you want, and have many children with you... Isn't this enough?"
"You... really think so?" Zhou Yunjie asked.
Shen Zhiyu nodded, his Adam's apple moving slightly, "Yes."
Zhou Yunjie looked at Shen Zhiyu steadily. His eyes were still deep, but now there was a gentle look in them, like the meltwater flowing under the snow-capped mountains, which she had never seen before.
She knew that he must have thought deeply before saying these words. After all, this man was best at making plans before taking action. But when she thought about how he had played her around before, she still felt unwilling to give up.
"It's OK not to get a divorce," she said, "but I have conditions."
Shen Zhiyu pursed his lips and said, "Just tell me what you want."
"I don't want money or jewelry." Zhou Yunjie sniffed, "I want you to pursue me like a normal lover, until I'm satisfied."
Hearing this, Shen Zhiyu frowned slightly, the pupils under his sword-like eyebrows shrank for a moment, and he hesitated for a few seconds before replying: "I will try my best."
Zhou Yunjie noticed the hesitation in these few seconds and changed her mind. She broke free from his hand and asked, "Are you unwilling?"
Shen Zhiyu looked at Zhou Yunjie's somewhat rogue appearance, and a wry smile appeared on his thin lips. "I'm willing. I'm willing..."
He had only ever had a serious relationship with Bai Jiawen before, but they didn't send flowers or show concern for each other like ordinary couples, so he wasn't sure if he could do it.
But seeing Zhou Yunjie making this request in a soft and gentle voice, with seriousness written all over her rosy face, he felt that maybe it wasn't that difficult.
Now that everything was made clear, Zhou Yunjie felt relieved.
She let out a long sigh, and the depression in her chest gradually dissipated.
