Chapter 233 Chapter 233 Zhou Sinian’s Thoughts
Shen Qinghuan nodded softly. She had sent a message to Zhou Sinian in the morning, saying that she would not be moving there anymore and asked him to help inform the landlord. However, she did not receive a reply from Zhou Sinian. She just thought that Zhou Sinian was busy with work and had no time to reply to her message.
"Anyway, thank you. Maybe we'll have a chance to become neighbors in the future."
But who would believe this if I said it out loud?
Unless, she really ends up being kicked out of the house. If not, she will definitely be able to buy a house by herself.
"Yeah?"
For something uncertain, someone like Zhou Sinian, who is self-controlled, steady and calm, would never have any expectations.
Shen Qinghuan pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly. He knew that she was just being polite, so why did he ask her back?
Shen Qinghuan curled her lips and could only smile and change the subject: "Doctor Zhou, did you just get off work?"
"Yeah! I just got off work. Do you want to treat me to dinner?"
“…”
No! She didn't want to at all! She just wanted to go back and rest early.
Before Shen Qinghuan could say anything, Zhou Sinian had already made the decision for her, "Where are you? I'll come pick you up."
“!!!”
"Doctor Zhou, there's really no need to bother. I've already had dinner, so if you're hungry, just go back and make something yourself. If you don't want to cook, I can order takeout for you."
If she orders takeout for him, it would be considered as her treat!
Zhou Sinian suddenly laughed softly, "Sometimes Doctor Zhou, sometimes Brother Sinian. If I didn't know you well enough, I might think there are two souls living in your body."
Even through the phone screen, Shen Qinghuan felt embarrassed and the tips of his ears felt slightly hot unconsciously.
"Well, from now on, I'll just keep calling you Doctor Zhou! That way, people won't misunderstand me." "Misunderstanding?" Zhou Sinian raised an eyebrow. "What could possibly be misunderstood about you and me?"
Shen Qinghuan choked and quickly explained: "Nothing!"
"Are you so anxious to cut ties with me?"
"...wasn't that what you said?"
"I'm taking a day off tomorrow. Please treat me to a meal tomorrow! Noon or evening is fine."

Zhou Sinian originally wanted to go back to his usual place, but his mother called him and asked him to go back, so he had to turn around at the intersection ahead and change route to go back to his parents' home.
More than half an hour later.
When Zhou's mother saw her son, she immediately frowned and asked, "Si Nian, what's wrong with you? Didn't you promise to go on a blind date with me yesterday afternoon? You didn't show up, and the girl waited for you in the cafe for over an hour. How could you...how could you do such a thing!"
“…”
It was clearly the girl who was late, and he was already preparing to leave, but the girl didn't show up.
However, Zhou Sinian didn't want to explain.
He originally didn't agree with the blind date, but his mother insisted on introducing someone to him.
"Mom, you know I don't want to."
"I know you don't want to go, and I also know that you don't want to go because you like Shen Qinghuan. But you also have to know that she is already married, and there will be no future between you and her."
Hearing his mother's words, Zhou Sinian frowned suddenly, his face darkening, "Mom, what are you talking about! My decision not to go on a blind date has nothing to do with Shen Qinghuan. I simply don't want to."
Zhou's mother sneered, "Then marry Shuyan."
"I don't want to marry a woman I don't like."
"Then go on a blind date."
“…”
Zhou Sinian just felt that his mother was unreasonable. Not only did she want to control him when he was young, but she also wanted to control him now that he had grown up, from the major he applied for to his work, and even to his marriage.
Seeing her son's silence, Zhou's mother's face grew colder, as if giving an order: "You have to go even if you don't want to, unless you bring me a girlfriend within three days. Otherwise, you'll have to go on a blind date obediently."
Zhou Sinian was a little overwhelmed and his face looked very ugly.
"Mom, why do you insist on forcing me to find a girlfriend?"
"You're already so old! When your dad was your age, you were already in kindergarten."
“But I don’t want to be like my dad.”
They all thought he didn't know that his father rarely came back to live with him, saying it was because he was busy with work, but in fact, his father just didn't want to be nagged and controlled by his mother.
When Zhou's mother heard this, her face froze instantly.
After a while, she sneered sarcastically, her eyes filled with helplessness. "You know everything, don't you? Si Nian, do you think I'm unreasonable like your father? Do you think I'm controlling? Do you think I want to keep both of you firmly in my grasp?"
Zhou Sinian remained silent.
That's what he thought, but he couldn't say it.
Do they all have to listen to her? Isn't that controlling?
Mother Zhou felt a tightness in her chest. "Si Nian, do you really hate your mother meddling in your affairs?"
Zhou Sinian neither shook his head nor nodded, but just said, "I have grown up." He has the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and he also has the ability to take responsibility.
"I knew it! I knew it!"
Zhou's mother was clearly so angry that her chest was heavy with anger, but she still endured it and said, "Then I will only take care of one last thing for you. Marry Shuyan, and from now on, I will never interfere in your affairs again."
"impossible!"
Zhou Sinian refused without hesitation.
"What's wrong with Shuyan? Why don't you like her?"
"Why don't you tell me why I should like her? What's so special about her?"
"you--"
Mother Zhou was so angry that she felt dizzy and she covered her forehead with one hand, wishing she could faint immediately.
Zhou Sinian's face turned cold, and he didn't want to continue arguing with his mother. "If you asked me to come back just for this matter, then I'd better leave. The workload at the hospital has been very heavy these days, so I won't be back."
"Okay! Don't come back! You and your dad might as well not come back!" Zhou's mother couldn't help but say something harsh.
She even thought in her heart that Shen Qinghuan had captured her son's heart, otherwise why would he be so disobedient now!
Zhou Sinian's expression grew increasingly grim, but he resisted the urge to turn around and leave. He tried to suppress his discontent and irritability, and said patiently, "Mom, for so many years, I've listened to you in everything. I did whatever you told me to do. Now I want to make my own decision. Is that so difficult?"
"What do you want to decide for yourself? Your marriage?"
Mother Zhou frowned, her face full of disapproval.
"Si Nian, when it comes to marriage, Mom is an experienced person and won't harm you! You and Qing Huan are not suitable. She can't help you at all in your career. But Shu Yan is different. Their Ren family makes medical devices. If you marry her, it will only benefit you and not harm you."
Seeing his mother talking about Shen Qinghuan again, Zhou Sinian felt that his last bit of patience was exhausted.
"Mom, Huanhuan and I are innocent. There's nothing between us. Why don't you believe me? Why do you have to drag her into this? If her husband knew about this, what would he think? Aren't we harming her?"
Zhou's mother gave him a sarcastic look and asked, "So you also knew that she has a husband?"
Zhou Sinian choked: "..."
"Since you know she has a husband, shouldn't you take the initiative to stay away from her? Si Nian, you are my son, I still know your thoughts. When Father Shen said that you two should get married, it was all a joke, you can't take it seriously!"
"mom!"
"You don't have to be embarrassed. I just don't want you to get involved. Si Nian, Shu Yan is a good girl. She likes you very much. If you marry her, it will be beneficial to you in every way."
Zhou Sinian was silent, his brows tightly furrowed.
But Zhou's mother knew that Zhou Sinian had listened to what she had just said, and this was also her purpose.
