"You know that's impossible."
My first reaction was rejection. I never considered the possibility of falling in love with him again.
I don't allow myself to do that either.
Zhou Chenyan stood up, his eyes particularly cold. "It's impossible that this is beyond your control. This is the only condition of the deal between you and me. If you agree, we will continue. If you don't agree, the deal will be void."
I took a deep breath and said, "Love is not something you can trade. Even if I look at you and say I love you, would you believe me?"
Zhou Chenyan frowned slightly.
He kept staring into my eyes, as if trying to read my inner emotions from them.
I also let him watch frankly.
But in fact, if you don’t love someone, you don’t love them. If you don’t have it, you don’t have it. Eyes are the best window to express a person’s psychology.
"You know I'm not good at acting in this area, and I can't act like that."
Love is love, not love is not love.
If I were asked to pretend to be in love with him, I would feel sick. First of all, I can't accept it myself, so how can I convince him?
Zhou Chenyan gritted his teeth slightly, "Do you really have to provoke me like this? Don't you have any sincerity in making a deal with me?"
"It's not that I'm insincere, but I have to give you the answer I can give. I can only promise you what I can give. Even if I promise you something like this that I can't do, do you believe it?"
His eyes were so sharp that the lies I told in front of him rarely succeeded.
I wouldn't bet on this possibility either.
Zhou Chenyan's face darkened, and after a long while he said, "It doesn't matter if you don't love me now, but I want you to work hard to fall in love with me."
"I can only try my best."
Zhou Chenyan said coldly, "Now you're the one asking me to help you, you're the one who wants to make a deal with me, why are you still so stubborn?"
I rubbed my forehead and felt a sudden headache.
"Zhou Chenyan, I do want to make a deal with you. I hope you can use your power to help me achieve my goal. But if I want to accomplish this goal, I have to deceive you with lies, and I can't do that."
I can lie about him, but I can't act or deceive about falling in love with him.
"So you don't want to lie to me?"
He seemed to suddenly become happy, and the frost on his face melted a lot.
I don't know where his mood changed.
But if he insists on saying so, it's not impossible.
"You can understand it this way."
Zhou Chenyan's expression suddenly became cheerful. "If you can't do it, then you can't do it, but you must try your best to do it. I don't ask you to fall in love with me now, but you must work hard for this goal."
I nodded.
He seemed to be finally satisfied. He made a phone call and told his assistant to do what he had promised me.
About two hours passed.
Good news came one after another.
The shareholders from the group called me one after another and held video conferences with me, telling me to rest assured and recuperate. No matter when I recover, they will definitely wait for me to return to the company to take charge of the overall situation.
There was also good news from my brother's hospital, saying that there was a suitable heart source.
There was even good news from the police station.
It is said that all the people in those organizations have been sentenced because of their numerous crimes. The shortest sentence was 10 years. At least I don’t have to worry about anything for the next 10 years.
As for whether I will still be in this city 10 years from now, there is nothing to worry about.
Zhou Chenyan said to me, "Can we go get our marriage certificate now?"
I agreed and was happy about the good news, but when the moment really came, I still felt inexplicably suffocated.
After being reborn, I struggled for a long time and did many things just to get out of the grave of marriage.
Now I have to take the initiative to go back.
I looked at his hand stretched out in front of me, and finally put my hand gently on it.
Zhou Chenyan said, "Let's go, Mrs. Zhou."
These three words hit me like a heavy hammer. He carried me to the wheelchair and pushed me to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The process of getting the marriage certificate went incredibly smoothly, and I even hoped someone would interrupt.
But no.
Leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau again, I looked at the marriage certificate in my hand and felt a moment of despair.
It seemed like I struggled for a while, but finally returned to the starting point.
I looked up at Zhou Chenyan.
He was looking down at the marriage certificate, the sunlight pouring down onto his face, a rare gentle expression appearing on his face.
That expression is called gentleness.
I haven't seen such an expression on his face for a long, long time, whether before or after we got married. The only time he had such an expression was when he was pursuing me.
I don’t know if he was acting, but that year I really felt love in his eyes, on his face, and in his every move.
I suddenly understood.
Maybe everything isn't so bad after all.
In the battle of love, whoever gives love first is like surrendering.
Last time in our marriage, I surrendered first, so I became a lamb to be slaughtered, and he was the executioner.
But this time.
I will hold my weapon firmly.
I will never give him the chance to hurt or kill me again.
"Please take me back to the hospital."
He came over and pushed my wheelchair. "What's the rush? I asked Xin to renovate our home. I'll take you back to see it."
I took a deep breath and looked at my inconvenient legs.
