Chapter 232 You Won’t Let Me Go Anyway
"What are you looking at so seriously?" As he spoke, he had already taken her phone away.
Sure enough, Xu Ge was reading the comments online and even replied below, although he hadn't had time to send it out.
Xu Ge looked up at him and saw that he had directly logged out of the account and uninstalled the software.
"What are you doing?"
Zhou Chen completed this series of operations before returning the phone to her. "Is it really that beautiful?"
Xu Ge glanced at his phone and sighed, "I'm already on the trending search, and you won't let me see it? After all, I'm also involved."
Zhou Chen lifted her face and stared at her for a long time, "Are you angry?"
Xu Ge shook his head. "Why are you so angry? Didn't you expect this to happen?"
Obviously, both of them expected that her identity would always be the direction of public opinion.
If you want to get married, this kind of thing is bound to happen.
Zhou Chen stared at her for a long moment before instructing Han Wen, "Remove the news and have the PR department prepare a statement."
Han Wen nodded, "Okay."
"Why don't you just not delete it?" Xu Ge suddenly said.
Han Wen glanced at her and said, "But the online criticism is very fierce, don't you care?"
"If I start deleting these, it will only make people think that I am as terrible as they say. Wouldn't that give them an excuse?"
Han Wen turned his head and glanced at Zhou Chen. "So, let's just let it continue like this?"
"I don't care. Go ahead and scold me. I won't take it to heart. The heat will naturally cool down over time."
Han Wen pushed the frame of his glasses and asked, "Do you want to treat it coldly?"
Xu Ge nodded. "That's what I mean. What's the matter? Will it have an impact on the company?"
Han Wen glanced at Zhou Chen, then shook his head and said, "There will definitely be some impact, but it's completely negligible."
"That's fine, don't withdraw the attention. It's okay, just issue a statement. I can't let the company be criticized along with me."
Han Wen couldn't help but look at her more when he heard it, but Zhou Chen beside him obviously didn't refute it, so he nodded and left the office to discuss with the public relations department how to issue the statement later.
When there were only two people left in the office, Zhou Chen whispered, "You really don't care?"
"I don't care. The mouth is on someone else's face. What can I do?"
Zhou Chen raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head, saying in a low voice, "But you used to cry."
Xu Ge smiled casually on his face, and when he met his dark gaze, he couldn't help but think of the past.
That was the year she entered her first year of high school, a private aristocratic school.
Since she went to and from school with Zhou Siyu for a period of time, her identity was always talked about during class breaks.
She was still young at that time and her mind was quite sensitive. She heard someone saying bad things about her behind her back, and it was a classmate who was usually on good terms with her.
This made her very sad and she felt really lonely for a while.
She even cried secretly because of this, and was caught by Zhou Chen who had just returned from a business trip.
She originally wanted to hide, but he dragged her directly into the kitchen and questioned her.
Only then did she tell the story.
At that time, Zhou Chen was just like he is now, rubbing her head gently and telling her with a smile in his eyes.
“Don’t care what others say
Well, just be yourself, and over time, everyone will naturally understand what kind of person you are."
Although Xu Ge didn't quite understand, she wasn't so sad anymore. She didn't care about many people, and Zhou Chen was enough for her.
So even if you are sad, it won’t last too long.
But as time went on, the voices talking about her behind her back faded away.
During that time, Zhou Chen would take time out to pick her up from school personally, but Zhou Siyu could only take the Zhou family's special car.
After running into her a few times, classmates at school all knew that Xu Gesui was an orphan, but was loved by the Zhou family.
Xu Ge exhaled and shrugged, but his eyes were fixed on Zhou Chen's face, and he suddenly spoke.
"But I did, because they were all insignificant people."
Zhou Chen lowered his eyes and looked at her for a long time before he held her hand tightly and whispered, "So are you ready to marry me? 15%%"
Xu Ge lowered her eyes to look at their tightly clasped hands. She wanted to pull them back but couldn't move at all, so she could only look up at him again.
"If I don't do it well, I don't have to get married?"
"cannot."
Xu Ge slowly shifted his gaze, staring at the polished coffee table and said leisurely, "You won't let me go anyway."
"Well, you are quite self-aware."
As he spoke, Zhou Chen slowly leaned over, resting his hands on the sofa handles beside her, and whispered in her ear.
"So, stop thinking about running away. What I said in front of your grandfather that day wasn't just a joke to please you."
Xu Ge's lips twitched slightly, "What do you want to do?"
Zhou Chen raised his hand and pinched her soft earlobe, "Lock you up."
Xu Ge was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "Don't be so perverted, okay? The pseudo-taboo is already a violation of the rules, and you still want to play the prison game?"
After saying that, she glanced at her bag, which contained a black card with an unlimited credit limit. So she raised her arms, put her arms around his neck, tilted her head back and kissed his chin.
"I've already accepted the betrothal gifts. Would I do something as immoral as running away with the money?"
Zhou Chen looked at her gravely, gently lifted her jaw, and spoke in a low, mellow, and bewitching voice.
"Then go get the certificate tomorrow."
Xu Ge was stunned, and his arms relaxed a little. "Tomorrow? So soon?"
"You'll have to take it sooner or later." Zhou Chen lifted her chin, his eyes dark and deep, "Didn't you say you wouldn't run away with the money?"
"That's what I said, but isn't it a bit too hasty for tomorrow? I should still inform my family first, right?"
"It's not too late to notify after you get the certificate."
Xu Ge wanted to say something, but Zhou Chen said quietly, "Or is it that your cooperation and obedience now are all fake, and you still want to escape?"
Xu Ge: “…”
She was silent for a long time before she said, "Will you let me escape? I know I can't escape."
Zhou Chen stared at her for a long time before kissing her forehead. "That's good to know. Don't forget your two friends. They are hostages until you get the marriage certificate tomorrow."
Xu Ge was silent for a long time again before he slowly closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa.
"I said, I won't run away."
She slowly opened her eyes again, her gaze falling on his handsome eyebrows and features, her vision a little dazed.
"After all, I have never thought of marrying anyone else except you."
But have you really never thought about it?
She really hadn't thought about it in the first twenty years, but she actually thought about it during those years in Country M.
She even wanted to try it. In fact, she had a boyfriend in name, but the time was very short.
Simply because she and those people were unable to proceed to the next step.
If it's just for sex, there's nothing wrong with closing your eyes and turning off the lights.
But if she really wants to develop a relationship, she can't do this.
Don't force yourself to hurt others.
