Chapter 64 Not Enough
The group arrived at the hotel and went to eat first.
In the box, the Qin couple were already waiting there.
Qin Yun walked over quickly, took Ming Zhao's hand and praised her profusely, "Oh, it's true that girls change a lot when they grow up. Xiao Zhao has grown into such a beautiful girl now. She looks like a fairy from a painting."
As he spoke, he greeted everyone enthusiastically: "Come, come, come, sit down quickly."
"Tingyun," Ming Nutu's intention to bring them together was obvious, and she said, "You sit in Tang..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Tingyun had already sat down next to Ming Zhao.
Ming Zheng stopped talking abruptly when she saw Zhou Tingyun's slightly inquiring look, and said nothing more.
The person has already sat down, and we can't ask him to get up and change seats.
During the meal, the elders began to talk about the financial situation, and occasionally they would praise each other's children for being so outstanding.
Only Mingzhao was concentrating on eating.
Lin Muqing was afraid that she would be bored, so she chatted with her quietly while carefully peeling shrimps for her. The shrimp meat was tender and plump, and it had a slight luster under the light.
Zhou Tingyun calmly dealt with the work topic, his hands moving skillfully and naturally as he placed the chopped crab meat on the small plate in front of Ming Zhao.
Aunt Qin, who was sitting opposite, took in everything and said happily:
"Your family is obviously the kind that spoils their wives. Whoever marries into your family will be blessed."
Hearing this, Ming Zheng raised her eyes and glanced at the two of them.
Feeling the gaze of Ming Nutu, Ming Zhao silently tightened his grip on the chopsticks.
Then I heard Aunt Qin ask:
"Does Tingyun have a girlfriend?"
Qin Yun knew that Zhou Tingyun grew up in the Ming family, and Ming Zheng still had some say in matters of marriage.
Since the other party had this intention, she was naturally very happy, after all, it was the Zhou family.
But I still want to find out about my emotional status.
Zhou Tingyun didn't stop what he was doing, and replied calmly, "I have."
Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, for a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on him except Ming Zhao.
Ming Zheng was very surprised and asked:
"Whose daughter is this? Why didn't you tell mom?"
Didn’t you have a girlfriend a few days ago, but suddenly you have one?
Qin Yun was originally a little unhappy about being deceived, but when she saw that Ming Zheng seemed to be completely unaware, her brows relaxed slightly.
I secretly guessed that Zhou Tingyun might be making excuses.
So he asked with a smile, "How long have you been dating? Do you have any photos? Let's see which beautiful girl it is."
Then he looked at Ming Zhao, "Have you seen Zhao Zhao?"
Ming Zhao almost buried his face in the bowl, like an ostrich.
Zhou Tingyun glanced at her and said calmly, "I have met her."
He knew that Ming Zhao only sought momentary pleasure.
If you really encounter something, you can either retreat and run away or hide behind him.
He can follow her in everything else.
Only this one thing is not acceptable.
Now that we have taken this step, it is impossible to return to a fake brother-sister relationship.
But now, Zhou Tingyun will still give her time to relax and think.
"She is still young and doesn't want to make it public for the time being." His voice was low and steady, without much emotion.
Ming Zheng slowly put down her chopsticks. "Still young? How young?"
Zhou Tingyun said calmly: "21 years old."
What?
Ming Zheng was a little bit incredulous.
There is a full eight years difference in age.
When Zhou Tingyun went to college, the girl was still in the sixth grade.
Qin's parents' expressions instantly became complicated.
Is this really a normal relationship?
When old men date young girls, it is easy for them to associate other things with them. They really can't help but make other associations.
I didn't expect that someone like Zhou Tingyun would be like this.
What's more, he has a younger sister.
He actually found a girlfriend who is about the same age as his sister.
Several people looked at him as if he were an animal.
Especially Lin Muqing.
His eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
Is this how he acts as a brother?
No wonder Ming Zhao was so angry before.
Lin Muqing's parents divorced and remarried, and each had their own family and children, so he could understand Mingzhao's feelings very well.
If I saw with my own eyes Zhou Tingyun coaxing other girls the same way he coaxed Mingzhao, I would definitely not be able to accept it, let alone Mingzhao.
Lin Muqing had no interest in Ming Zheng's attempt to bring him and Ming Zhao together. He just treated her as a sister.
But in this situation, it would be better for him to take care of Ming Zhao.
Ming Zhao, on the other hand, was trying hard to minimize his presence.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Zhou Huaiyuan quickly came out to smooth things over and joked.
"Who wouldn't want to make their relationship public? It must be because you didn't give her enough sense of security. So, bring her home to meet us next time, and dad will give her a big red envelope."
Ming Zhao was choked suddenly and started coughing continuously.
Seeing Zhou Tingyun patting her back to help her calm down, Ming Zheng was helpless, "Why are you eating so fast, kid?"
Mingzhao drank some water from Zhou Tingyun's hand and slowly recovered.
This meal was like sitting on pins and needles.
Back at the hotel, before Ming Nutu went to talk to Zhou Tingyun, Ming Zhao secretly ran to Zhou Tingyun's room.
She had his room card and swiped it to enter.
Zhou Tingyun is talking on the phone.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, his eyes naturally fell on Ming Zhao.
His cowardly sister was about to repeat the same trick, and she approached him gently and tiptoed up to him.
Zhou Tingyun put his arm around her waist, lowered his head, hung up the phone, and put the phone on the table beside him.
Ming Zhao sometimes couldn't stand the way he kissed.
He ate and sucked her lips and tongue, sticky and lingering, as if he wanted to eat her into his stomach bit by bit.
It is a jellyfish washed ashore by gentle waves, and can only melt limply.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Tingyun slowly withdrew.
Ming Zhao tilted his face upwards, his voice still sticky from the kiss he had just received.
"Brother, please don't tell Mommy yet, okay?"
Zhou Tingyun stared at her for a long time and asked instead of answering.
"Do you remember what you said before you came?"
Ming Zhao blinked.
It is a bad habit to like to make Zhou Tingyun angry, but she does not intend to change it.
She felt like he wasn't out of control enough.
It’s not enough to make up for those four years of indifference.
So she said innocently:
"But I don't want to make Mommy angry."
Zhou Tingyun: "I've already told you, brother will take care of this."
"Then why can't you tell me how you plan to solve it?"
When Zhou Tingyun heard this question, he fell into a long silence, and his deep black eyes showed no emotion.
Ming Zhao didn't say anything either.
The older you get, the more secrets you have.
But the old Zhou Tingyun would not have kept any secrets from her.
There seemed to be an untouchable barrier between the two of them, and their relationship seemed closer, yet farther.
Comparing everything with memories is an invisible, subtle violence. She is looking through Zhou Tingyun in front of her to see the brother who only cares about her in the huge villa.
So I always feel it’s not enough.
