Cute
In the spacious and quiet parking garage, the sound of Jiang Xiao's irregular heartbeat could be heard.
Anyone who hears the other party make a lifetime promise will be moved, and Jiang Xiao is no exception. However, after experiencing consciousness awakening and limited by the plot of the book, she just felt that his words were too far-fetched.
She wants to cherish the present more than an unrealistic future.
Reason told her not to believe in other people's promises, but when she looked into Zhou Qishen's eyes, her warming cheeks and quickened heartbeat reminded her that the line of defense she had built was slowly collapsing.
Zhou Qishen had beautiful peach blossom eyes. When he smiled, his brows were relaxed, and his narrow pupils curved into a half-moon. The small black mole on his eyelids was very charming. He looked at her affectionately, as if containing endless thoughts.
"Who can predict what will happen in the future..." A hint of complexity appeared in Jiang Xiao's beautiful black eyes. As the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes, and she didn't want Zhou Qishen to change the trajectory of his life because of her.
Zhou Qishen stared at her, taking in every change in her expression. "That's why we have to think of ways to prevent it."
Jiang Xiao's eyes were moved, but she couldn't help but persuade him, "Then there's no need for you to give up your power. You're sitting well in the position of executive director. Are you really not going to reconsider it?"
"Like you said, I'm not a young man who does things out of passion. I made this decision after considering many factors. I won't be so stupid as to let myself suffer a loss. I'm currently one of the largest shareholders of the company. Even if I step down, I will still get the benefits I deserve."
After Zhou Qishen finished speaking, he reached out and held Jiang Xiao's hand, took her to the parking space, and softly explained his plan.
"Although the Zhou Group is named Zhou, it does not belong to the Zhou family alone. There are many people eyeing the position of executive director. If the position is vacant, some rats hiding in the dark will show their true colors."
Jiang Xiao understood what he meant. To fish, one must throw out the bait first. Under normal circumstances, it would be almost impossible to find something wrong with Zhou Qishen and bring him down.
Since others don't have the ability to deal with him, he will reveal his flaws and give others the opportunity to bring him down.
While the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it, Zhou Qishen wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate his enemies and take a vacation at the same time.
"Then what? Will you go back to the company?" Jiang Xiao looked at her hand that he was holding tightly, and she moved her knuckles involuntarily, pressing her five fingers tightly against his.
Zhou Qishen noticed her little action and didn't turn his head away, but the slightly upturned corners of his mouth still revealed his good mood at the moment, and even his tone of voice rose slightly: "No, I don't have no money."
Hearing his relaxed tone, Jiang Xiao curled the corners of her lips and joked, "Aren't you afraid of running out of money?"
Hearing this, Zhou Qishen smiled and said, "Hmm? I don't think that day will come." And he would not let that day come to pass, because if that happened, he would not be worthy of his wife.
Jiang Xiao remained noncommittal. Not to mention that the Zhou family was a wealthy and prosperous family with many members, it was impossible for them to fall into decline all at once. Just based on Zhou Qishen's ability and skills, even if he really fell into poverty one day, Jiang Xiao believed that he could make a comeback.
After a while, Zhou Qishen suddenly realized something, tilted his head, looked at Jiang Xiao seriously and said, "If I really become a pauper, my dear wife, are you willing to support me?"
Jiang Xiao was stunned by this slightly childish and sudden question. After a pause, she glared at him unhappily: "Okay, okay, you don't want to work hard, but you want to live off others?"
The sarcasm and ridicule in her words were not concealed at all. Zhou Qishen raised his eyebrows indifferently: "I can work for you as a bodyguard or an assistant. I don't need a salary, just food."
"Oh? You are willing to be a free laborer, but I don't want to be a capitalist who exploits my employees." Jiang Xiao was completely amused by him. The curve of her mouth became bigger and bigger. She almost fell on Zhou Qishen's shoulder with laughter. The distance between them was unintentionally shortened.
Zhou Qishen glared at her with droopy eyelids, and said in a long and emphatically voice: "I am willing to be exploited by you, and I am willing to hand over all my wages."
At this point, Zhou Qishen's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said vaguely: "My idea seems to be good..."
"What's good?" Jiang Xiao didn't hear clearly, and her head tilted, with her hair swaying with her movement.
Zhou Qishen did not hide anything and said openly: "I will give you all my salary."
"Why should you give it to me?" Jiang Xiao choked again and stuttered in shock.
"Use it or leave it there, it's all up to you." Zhou Qishen didn't think it was a big deal, and was even a little annoyed that he discovered the problem only now.
Seeing Jiang Xiao's puzzled look, he kindly answered: "Isn't this what all married couples do? Give the couple's shared property to the wife for safekeeping."
"When we signed the agreement, it was mentioned in the contract that I would give you half of my income, but this is a bit too troublesome. It would be more convenient to transfer all of it to your account. Anyway, I don't have any other use for the money."
Seeing that he was getting more and more excited and was about to make a decision, Jiang Xiao interrupted him: "Are you stupid? Why are you giving me all your money? We just agreed to get married. If we get divorced one day, you will lose a lot..."
She said this obviously for Zhou Qishen's own good, but when she finished speaking, Zhou Qishen's face suddenly turned cold, and his deep eyes became full of scrutiny and warning: "I say it again, I don't plan to divorce."
Zhou Qishen continued: "Unless you want to be a widower."
"..." Jiang Xiao couldn't remember how many times he had blocked her from speaking. She tried to organize herself for a long time, until she got in the car, she finally spoke. This time, she learned her lesson and stopped saying provocative words. She tried to soften her tone.
"I don't know how to manage money or invest. What's the use of this money? I have my own money."
"There shouldn't be anyone in this world who thinks having too much money is unacceptable, right? Xiaoxiao, what about you?"
"..."What do you mean by her? Of course she couldn't complain about having too much money, but as the saying goes, if it wasn't earned by herself, she would inevitably feel uneasy holding it in her hands.
Zhou Qishen put one hand on his knee, and naturally reached out with the other hand to grab Jiang Xiao's hand. He held it in his palm quietly for a while, his half-closed eyes looking thoughtful.
Soon, he turned his head and looked at Jiang Xiao who was also silent, and slowly said, "I remember, you said that my doing this would bring you pressure."
"Indeed, I do feel guilty to a certain extent when giving things to people I don't know well, but I think we are no longer strangers. As your legal husband, it is my honor that you are willing to spend my money. I am very happy."
"But in the same way, if you don't want to spend my money, I will be sad. In other words, if you bring me into Cheng Wai Gong, will you feel the same level of pressure or guilt?"
Jiang Xiao fell into silence. Even if she brought Zhou Qishen into the picture as her grandfather, she would still feel pressure and guilt. However, those emotions were different. After all, the love of family members was different from the love of others.
Perhaps because he hadn't received a response, Zhou Qishen tightened his grip on her fingers, raised his elbows and placed them on the steering wheel to support his temples, with a casual posture and a hint of amusement in his words: "Xiaoxiao, according to what you said, are you stupid? You don't even want money."
Jiang Xiao rolled her eyes and retorted bluntly: "It's easy for you to say that. If it were me who suddenly said I would give you all the money, would you feel confused? Would you be afraid to accept it?"
Zhou Qishen laughed softly and said leisurely: "Why don't you dare to accept it? I would think that you must love me terribly."
The corners of Jiang Xiao's eyes twitched uncontrollably, and she sneered, "...Zhou Qishen, are you a person who is obsessed with love?"
Hearing this, Zhou Qishen suddenly frowned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "What does love brain mean?"
"..." Jiang Xiao didn't continue talking, but glanced at him suspiciously. Seeing that he really didn't seem to know what the curse word meant, she pursed her lips and said, "It's almost the same as 'love is terrible'."
Zhou Qishen had never heard of this Internet term, but based on the literal meaning, he could probably understand it. However, judging from Jiang Xiao's expression, it remains to be seen whether this term is a positive or negative connotation.
The atmosphere was oddly frozen for two seconds. Jiang Xiao touched the tip of her nose guiltily, and then continued the previous topic: "Let me make it clear first, I don't want to keep your money. It's too much trouble."
"It's not difficult to collect the money. If you're worried that I'll set you up, we can go through the formal legal procedures."
Zhou Qishen stared at her leisurely. Seeing her determined look, there was no sign of turning the page. It seemed that he would not give up until he forced this incredible wealth into her pocket.
Jiang Xiao closed her eyes speechlessly. For the first time, she felt that money was so unpopular. Where were the businessmen? Where is the selfishness you promised?
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Jiang Xiao simply gave up and glanced at him: "You said it yourself, so you have to be sincere."
"Uh-huh, but..." Zhou Qishen nodded without hesitation, but soon his expression turned serious. His hesitant look whetted Jiang Xiao's appetite.
"But what?" Jiang Xiao blinked, waiting for his next words.
Zhou Qishen's voice was deep and pleading, "I really don't like the word divorce. Can you please not mention it in the future?"
"Uh..." Jiang Xiao was stunned at first after waiting for such an answer for a long time, and then laughed out loud, "That's it?"
Zhou Qishen nodded.
Seeing his inexplicably cute look, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but wonder, he wouldn't have put in so much effort just for this, right? It's not that she can't do it by not mentioning divorce. Anyway, she has no plans to divorce in the short term. As for the future, who knows?
So after some not-so-careful consideration, Jiang Xiao nodded slightly: "Okay, let's not mention it."
As soon as the words fell, the man's broad chest leaned towards her. Before Jiang Xiao could react, two soft lips were pressed against hers. Zhou Qishen's warm breath was close at hand: "I'll take you to a place."
Jiang Xiao was a little dazed by the kiss. Her eyelashes fluttered as if they were about to get entangled with his. She subconsciously asked, "Where?"
Zhou Qishen pressed his hand against her forehead, and couldn't help but tilt his head to kiss her again, explaining softly, "The one I mentioned to you last time, our wedding room."
