Chapter 8: I don’t care whether she likes it or not, as long as I like her...
Jiang Kehuan, after hearing Du Ningyou's words, complained bluntly: "Zhou Yangze is not a good guy either, he has so many scandals."
"He explained this to me. It's mainly because of his outstanding looks and his love of playing, so people of the opposite sex often approach him, and that's why the rumors started. But actually..." Du Ningyou leaned closer and said mysteriously, "He said he still has his first kiss."
Jiang Kehuan and Jin Yue both tsk- ...
"I didn't believe it at first, but when he mentioned it, his expression and tone were very serious. He didn't seem to be lying. Besides, I'm with him all the time, and I've never seen him get close to any girl."
Jiang Kehuan took a sip of the gin and tonic in her cup. "If what you said is true, then compared to those people in the information, Zhou Yangze is indeed the best candidate."
"Right? At first, I thought Zhou Yangze was just a playboy who only knew how to have fun. Even if he treated me well, he wasn't a man I could marry. But as we've been together for a while, I've seen his shining points again. He's responsible, has a positive outlook, and works hard to accomplish what he sets his mind to. Although he's a bit cocky and stubborn, he actually accommodates me in every way. If I marry him, my life shouldn't be too bad."
Hearing these words, Zhou Yangze grinned widely, and the depressed mood in his heart immediately dissipated. Chen Ziyou and Song Mingyuan, who were also eavesdropping, looked at him with a teasing look on their faces.
Chen Ziyou tried to lower his loud voice, "Oh, Fox Song, look, our Second Young Master has such a bright smile on his face."
Zhou Yangze tried hard to put on a stern face and said, "Go away, you are the one who is swaying." In fact, the tips of his ears turned red.
"but……"
Du Ningyou suddenly made a turn, and these two short words made someone's heart leap.
"But I don't have many ambitions and am used to enjoying life. Those favored model daughters-in-law in the circle are all good at both housework and housework. In comparison, I seem to be useless except for spending money. I'm afraid that being a daughter-in-law for a long time will be disliked. If Uncle Zhou and Aunt Shen disliked me, I would be sad and would think about making changes and becoming unlike myself. But if it were someone else, I wouldn't care. I would continue to live the way I like and continue to do what I think is meaningful."
Jiang Kehuan listened to her and asked, "So, this is why you are committed to finding a stable backer?"
"Yes, such people are usually capable and have enough say in the family. As long as I work hard to please this person, I can still live a comfortable life after marriage."
Jiang Kehuan smiled and said, "You're really putting in a lot of effort to be able to continue playing badly in the future."
"Of course not."
"Actually, I think you've fallen into a misunderstanding. Who says you have to be both a housewife and a housewife to be favored? In fact, your personality makes it easier for you to please the elders. You're blessed, simple and unpretentious. It's a joy to be around you. So, Ning You, don't overthink it. Finding someone you truly love is the most important thing."
"The one you really like..." Before she could think it over, Jin Yue, after listening to their conversation for a long time, suddenly had an idea and said, "Did you overlook someone?"
"Who is it?"
"Song Mingyuan! His parents are abroad all year round, and he only has a kind and amiable grandmother in the country. If you marry him, there will be almost no conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Moreover, Song Mingyuan has the final say in the Song Group. He is so smart. As long as you coax him well, he will definitely be able to coordinate your relationship with the Song family and ensure a good future for you. Don't you agree?"
"Oh, that's right." Du Ningyou suddenly understood, "How could I have forgotten about Brother Mingyuan?"
Jiang Kehuan also nodded repeatedly. "Although Jin Yue, you haven't kept up with our pace, this suggestion is indeed good. Ning You, you must think about it carefully. Song Mingyuan is much more reliable than Zhou Yangze."
"Hmm... Let me think about it."
Zhou Yangze's expression twitched upon hearing this. When he met Song Mingyuan's half-smile, he angrily grabbed his collar and shook him: "Hurry up and spread the news that your parents are planning to return to China to settle down, that you have a lover you can't have, or that you like men..."
Song Mingyuan calmly freed the collar from his grasp, "Master Zhou, please don't ruin my reputation." Looking at his frustrated friend, he added maliciously, "Actually, I think Ning You is so cute, it would be fun to marry her. I have money and free time now, the only thing I lack is fun."
"Song Mingyuan, I want to break up with you!"
Chen Ziyou hurried over to persuade the two people who were fighting, "Keep your voice down, don't get caught."
However, it was too late. They accidentally bumped into the wine on the cabinet, making a "clang, clang" sound, which successfully attracted the attention of the other three people.
Through the cracks in the hollow wine cabinet, Du Ningyou turned his head and met the indignant Zhou Yangze's gaze. He suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Why are you here?"
After a while, the six-person booth was packed. Zhou Yangze sat in the innermost seat, with his head turned to the side and looking out the window; Chen Ziyou was in the middle, scratching his head, trying to think of a good topic; Song Mingyuan sat outside with a relaxed posture, with an expression of pure spectatorship.
Du Ningyou sat at the back of the sofa on the other side, awkwardly holding his forehead and winking at Jiang Kehuan next to him: "Oh my god! When did they sit next to me? How much of what I just said was taken in? Please, some god, come and take me away! I'm too embarrassed to face Zhou Yangze and Song Mingyuan at the same time!"
Jin Yue sat outside, looking at this and that, and finally turned around to see Du Ningyou's expression and couldn't help but chuckle.
He immediately received a warm slap in the face from Du Ningyou, "You're still smiling."
The strange atmosphere lasted for several dozen seconds. In the end, it was Chen Ziyou who spoke first. He said, "I see your cups are empty. Order some more drinks. I'll treat you today."
As he said that, he waved to call the waiter over.
Jiang Kehuan and Jin Yue each ordered a cocktail. When it was Du Ningyou's turn, she said, "I want a Margarita."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yangze, who had just been facing them with his side profile, finally turned around and interrupted unhappily, "Change her soda to white peach oolong flavor."
Du Ningyou subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he saw Zhou Yangze's gaze, he suddenly remembered what he had just said, and he immediately lost interest and made an excuse to go to the bathroom.
Not long after she left, Zhou Yangze also stood up and followed her.
It was past eight o'clock in the evening and the nightlife had just begun. Many customers had already come to the store. He could hear the crisp sound of glasses colliding and lively conversations. He walked through the corridor to the stairs next to the bathroom. The wind blowing in from the corridor and the windowsill next to him could not dispel the irritability in his heart.
I couldn't help but complain in my heart: You have no conscience, and you said I was fickle. It was obviously her who was fickle. Sometimes she thought she was good, and sometimes she thought Song Mingyuan was good. When we go to the racecourse on the weekend, will she think Fang Rongxin is good again?
He has no persistence of his own at all. They have been friends for more than 20 years and he doesn't even show any partiality. When the person comes out later, I must ask the playboy what he thinks.
He stood against the wall for a while when a pair of long, straight legs suddenly appeared in front of him. Looking up, he saw a young girl with fair skin and long straight black hair. She was holding a thin ladies' cigarette in her hand and was looking at him with a smile.
"Handsome guy, do you have a lighter?"
"I don't smoke."
"So there's no more." The beautiful woman paused and continued, "Actually, you can try it. You must look very attractive when you smoke."
…
When Du Ningyou was in the bathroom, he suddenly thought that he might as well take this opportunity to find an excuse to slip away. It would be too embarrassing to go back and face Zhou Yangze and Song Mingyuan.
Yes, that’s it!
After making up his mind, he sent a message to Jiang Kehuan, saying that he had something to do at home and had to leave first, and asked her to help explain to others.
After deciding to run away, I felt a lot more relieved. I washed my hands and strode out. I had to run away quickly while no one was around.
Unexpectedly, I heard a familiar voice after taking just two steps.
"Du Ningyou."
"..." No way? She had just sent the message, and Zhou Yangze came to arrest her so quickly?
Looking back awkwardly, he saw Zhou Yangze lazily leaning against the wall, and in front of him stood a tall and beautiful woman with outstanding temperament.
"..." Wow, another peach blossom appeared in just a short while.
"Come here." Young Master Zhou said briefly.
"Haha, I have something urgent to do at home so I have to leave first. I'll contact you another day when I'm free."
Before she could even move her legs, Zhou Yangze said, "If you don't come over now, I'll go to Uncle Du and tell him that you took advantage of me and were irresponsible."
"You are maliciously spreading rumors!"
"I mean what I say."
There was no choice, Du Ningyou could only move towards him slowly. As soon as he got close, Zhou Yangze hooked him to his side and held his waist, then looked at the beautiful woman standing in front of him as if declaring his sovereignty.
"This is my girlfriend."
But the other party didn't buy it. She smiled and said casually, "A temporary girlfriend, right? Besides, your sister doesn't seem to like you."
Master Zhou uttered a soft "huh" and raised his chin with a domineering tone, "I don't care whether she likes it or not. As long as I like it, that's enough."
“…”
Seeing his firm attitude, the beauty shook her head and left with some regret.
Du Ningyou was completely speechless. What kind of chuunibaku line was this? Even so, she could still feel the hand on her waist getting a little hot. Once the person left, she carefully moved to the side, wanting to get away from someone who was affecting her mood. But she had only taken two steps when a hand blocked her way.
Zhou Yangze trapped her between his chest and the wall, lowered his body and stared at her with burning eyes.
Du Ning turned his head away uncomfortably, "Well... the peach blossoms are also blocking the way, I should go back."
"What do you think of what I just said?"
"It's just a way of saying no, I know what you mean."
"What if I say it's true?"
Du Ningyou subconsciously turned his head to look at him, and met the pair of dark eyes that were only an inch away from him. His thoughts became a little dull at this moment, and he could only hear the increasingly obvious heartbeat in his chest.
The two of them maintained a state of one approaching and the other leaving.
After a long while, Zhou Yangze looked at her bewildered look and sighed inwardly. He was indeed too anxious. So he stood up straight and smiled, "I'm just kidding. Look at you, you're so silly."
“…”
Du Ningyou pushed the person away angrily, but his strength was a little weaker than usual, making him seem lacking in confidence.
"Don't say such things casually in the future."
"What? Is it scary that I like you?"
"Who knows whether you are serious or joking? Master Zhou is very experienced. A naive person like me can be easily fooled by you." After saying that, he turned and left.
Zhou Yangze quickly followed, "Who's experienced? I've never had sex before, just like you. My chastity cannot be slandered!"
