Chapter 138 How about I promise you something?
Xu Ge was startled when he saw Zhou Zimo's blue lips. "What happened to you? How did you get hurt?"
Zhou Zimo tilted his head and shook it at him, "It's okay, don't worry."
Xu Ge's brows knitted together slightly, "How did it become like this?"
Zhou Zimo seemed unwilling to say more and just shook his head. "I'm fine. We just didn't reach an agreement. But we won't meet again in the future."
Looking at the bruises at the corners of his mouth, Xu Ge guessed that he must have had a showdown with Yu Bo tonight.
"Can I help you apply some ointment? Otherwise, grandpa will be worried again if he sees it tomorrow."
Zhou Zimo nodded. Naturally, he didn't want the old man to question him. It was better to have less trouble than more.
As for Linda...
Zhou Zimo glanced at Xu Ge and tightened his jaw slightly, determined to resolve the situation before it got out of control.
But when he thought about Linda hiding, his mood couldn't brighten up.
It's like there's a time bomb on your head, and you don't know when it will explode.
"Okay, don't get it wet tonight. If it's still gone by morning, I'll leave the concealer on so you can cover it up a bit."
Zhou Zimo held her hand tightly, "Okay."
He stared at her for a long time, then raised his hand and gently stroked her face, "Ge'er, I want to find a chance to tell Grandpa about us."
Xu Ge's eyes trembled slightly, as if he was a little surprised, "Are you sure?"
Zhou Zimo was silent. He understood what it meant to make their relationship public at this time.
It will anger the old man and will be very disadvantageous to him.
"But I want you to be with me openly." When he said this, Zhou Zimo's expression gradually softened, and his eyes were affectionate and sincere.
"I just feel that compared to others, I care about you more and love you more." When Zhou Zimo said this, he seemed to have made some decision and he smiled.
"If Grandpa agrees that we can be together, I can serve as my uncle's assistant for the rest of my life, devoting myself to the Zhou family and to you as well."
Xu Ge was a little surprised. She didn't expect Zhou Zimo to have such an idea, especially when she saw the light in his eyes.
She lowered her eyes slightly and shook her head slowly.
Zhou Zimo frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
"I'm not worth your efforts, and I don't want you to give up what you want to pursue for me."
Her purpose was only to pursue the truth, and she did not want Zhou Zimo to make any changes for her. This was not her original intention.
"But……"
Xu Ge shook his head, took his wrist and whispered, "Let's not talk about these things for now, okay? I'm not in a hurry, you should think it over carefully."
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but laugh at herself, "To be honest, Zimo, you've done this for me, and it makes me feel pressured."
Zhou Zimo looked a little ugly, and he seemed to want to say something but Xu Ge covered his lips.
"Don't talk for now. Listen to me. I know you love me, but if your love is so heavy and you have to pay a price for me, I don't think I can accept it with peace of mind. So, can we not talk about this for now? Let's maintain the status quo and talk about it later, okay?"
Zhou Zimo softened his heart and didn't want to push her too hard. He had always been very patient with her.
So he nodded and sighed helplessly, "Only you would say these words to me. If it were any other woman..."
Xu Ge glared at him and pulled her hand back. "Yes, I know. If it were any other woman, she would wake up laughing in her dreams, right?"
Zhou Zimo liked to see her get jealous and act like a spoiled brat. In the past, he hated those women who played tricks on him, but when it came to Xu Ge, he really enjoyed it.
The difference between loving and not loving is really huge.
"Okay, okay, I said something wrong, don't be angry, okay?"
Xu Ge glanced at him and stood up. "Okay, go to bed early. I'll go back to my room first."
Zhou Zimo was reluctant to let her go, but he also knew that he couldn't keep her for too long. After looking at the time, he could only let her go reluctantly.
Xu Ge revealed the truth from his room. She could use him and even take advantage of other people's feelings.
But she never thought about making Zhou Zimo pay any price for her.
Even if he has to pay a price, it is for the mistakes he has made.
But accidents always happen, and Xu Ge still received a call from Qin Lei.
Linda still couldn't keep the baby in her belly and she had a miscarriage.
Xu Ge's brows knitted tightly together, "What's going on?"
"They say she had a miscarriage after she sneezed after coming out of the bathroom."
Xu Ge was speechless for a moment. She was so fragile that she could have a miscarriage just by a sneeze. Even if it wasn't an accident today, it could happen tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, every minute and every second.
"So how is she now?"
"I heard from the nurse that she cried for a long time, but now she has calmed down."
Xu Ge leaned back on the sofa and sighed.
Qin Lei asked again: "What are your plans next?"
"What else can we do? Since the child is gone, there's no need to watch her, and we can't keep sending people to search for her secretly. Let her go home when she feels better physically and emotionally. Let Zhou Zimo know about her situation, so Linda won't be implicated."
"Okay, I understand."
Two days later...
"Are you going to Paris with Chi Yan?"
"yes."
Mr. Zhou frowned, "How come Wushuang
What to do?
"What does it have to do with her?"
"What are you talking about? Wushuang has already moved in, and rumors have been circulating about the two of you being together for a long time. Do you still want to refute it?"
Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but just made a move and looked up at his father.
"Do you think I care about what others think and say?"
Old Master Zhou was choked by him. He didn't care. Of course he didn't care. He didn't care about the scandal with Xu Ge four years ago, nor did he care about the rumors with Chi Yan for several years. He didn't care about the marriage with Gu Wushuang.
The old man was so angry that he threw the chess piece directly onto the chessboard with a dark face.
"Then tell me, what do you care about?"
Zhou Chen put down the chess piece and asked, "How about I promise you something?"
Mr. Zhou didn't know what lawsuit he was selling, but he was curious and asked, "What can you promise me? Can I still control you now?"
Zhou Chen raised his lips slightly. "This trip to Paris will most likely help Chi Yan's legs return to normal. I promise you, if it succeeds, I will issue a statement to clarify my relationship with her when I return."
Old Master Zhou didn't say anything for a long time. He stared at his youngest son for a long time.
"I'm old, and you're becoming more capable now. As a father, I can't see through you anymore."
The old man paused and then asked, "Could it be that all these years you've been doing this to Chi Yan is just out of guilt and to make amends?"
"You may think so if you wish."
If it is really as he said, Mr. Zhou would be happy to see it happen.
"Then you and Wushuang..."
"Are you pushing your luck?"
Mr. Zhou: “…” Bastard!
Xu Ge was startled when he saw Zhou Zimo's blue lips. "What happened to you? How did you get hurt?"
Zhou Zimo tilted his head and shook it at him, "It's okay, don't worry."
