I was stunned. "?"
"You believe me."
Zhou Mo sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking very sure of herself. "He is just torn between inner and outer feelings right now. He likes you, but he is afraid to like you too much."
I smiled and said, "Don't make blind guesses. The person he likes is Shen Qingli. I just like her because my eyebrows and eyes are more similar..."
"No!"
Zhou Mo retorted, "My brother is not that kind of person. Over the years, there have been many people who are more like Sister Qingli than you, but he has never looked at them straight in the eye. I'm not saying anything bad about him, but he never gets up early for nothing. If it wasn't because he loved you, why would he help you again and again?"
"He is..."
I wanted to refute it, but halfway through, I couldn't find the reason.
That time when Jin Shijie and Shen's mother forced me to kneel in the snow... It seemed like they didn't save me on the way.
After that, he never asked me to promise him anything.
…
When I left, I was still a little hesitant.
My grandma tried to bring us together yesterday, and Zhou Mo told me all this again today.
No matter how focused you are, you will still be affected to some extent.
However, I didn’t expect to see a familiar Cullinan as soon as I walked out of the gate of Zhou Mansion.
I quickened my pace and headed towards the Rolls-Royce that my grandmother had arranged to take me there.
Just before getting on the bus, a hand suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me in the other direction!
I was annoyed, "Fu Qichuan, what are you doing?!"
"Take you home for the New Year!"
Fu Qichuan's voice was muffled and revealed some fatigue, but the strength in his hands was not small at all.
I thought it was ridiculous. "What kind of home are you going back to? I have nothing to do with you anymore!"
The person who even celebrated his wedding anniversary with others now tells me that he wants to go home for the New Year.
"If it doesn't matter, then we can start a new relationship."
He was terribly paranoid.
I struggled desperately, "But I don't want to..."
He turned around abruptly and shoved me against the car. His eyes were red, and he hadn't had a good night's sleep in who knows how long. Veins popped out of his forehead. "Then who would you rather be with? Zhou Fang?! Why are you running to Jingcheng during Chinese New Year? You want to spend the New Year with him, right?"
I sneered, "It's none of your business. Now that I'm divorced, I'm free to do whatever I want."
"Nanzhi, I can give you freedom."
He looked at me deeply, sighed, and seemed to soften, "But the premise is that you can't keep a distance from other men..."
"Mr. Fu, what you said is funny."
Not far away, a voice that seemed to be smiling suddenly sounded, "My woman, when will it be your turn to give her freedom?"
Fu Qichuan's pupils tightened, and his tall and straight body suddenly froze!
Zhou Fang raised the corners of his narrow eyes and waved at me, "Why don't you come over here and wait for me to beat him up?"
"Ruan Nanzhi!"
Just as I was about to take advantage of Fu Qichuan's distraction to withdraw, he suddenly shouted violently, his voice trembling slightly, "You... are really with him?"
I tilted my head and said, "Yes."
He snapped, "Look at me!"
"yes!"
I lost my temper, staring into his eyes without blinking, and said word by word: "I am with him! Are you satisfied? Can you let me go?"
The strength that was restraining my hands disappeared in an instant.
I couldn't tell whether he was willing to let go or if he had no strength left...
Quickly, the black Cullinan sped away.
But this time, I no longer felt abandoned as before.
It's more like getting a new one.
Zhou Fang scoffed and mocked, "If you're reluctant, I'll help you get it back?"
"Zhou Fang."
I looked at the cynical man not far away and spoke as casually as possible, "Were you just saying this because of the disagreement between us, or did you simply want to help me?"
Few people can resist a man who is likable in every way and saves you from danger time and time again.
So, some things are better said openly.
He frowned slightly, "Is there a difference?"
"have."
I curled my lips and mustered up the courage to say, "If it's the latter, I'm worried that you might have fallen in love with me."
He snorted and laughed, "Worried? Could it be that my liking you will make you unable to sleep or eat?"
"almost."
I said frankly: "You have a good personality, a good family background, and are loyal. It's hard not to be moved by someone like you. It is precisely because of this that it is impossible for us to be together."
"impossible?"
"Yes, it's impossible."
I took a deep breath and looked at him seriously. "I'm not a young girl who's just beginning to fall in love. I can't go there knowing there's a tiger in the mountain. Your devotion is a shortcoming to me."
"You helped me just now, and I will help you deal with your mother. Other than that, let's be rational."
…
At night, after washing up in the guest room arranged by my grandma, I lay down on the bed, but I was still awake.
How did Zhou Fang answer me during the day?
He said, Ruan Nanzhi, don't think you are the only one who is afraid.
Before I could figure out what this meant, he stuffed me into the car and asked the driver to take me back.
I flattened my pillow and was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep when the phone on the bedside table started buzzing.
——Zhou Fang.
I frowned and answered, "Hello?"
His lazy voice came from the other end of the phone, "Come out."
"Hurry up, it's freezing."
"oh."
I got up and grabbed a long down jacket, putting on my clothes as I went out.
When I was busy zipping up my clothes, I bumped into a hard chest without any warning. I took two steps back due to inertia and suddenly looked up!
Under the streetlight, Zhou Fang leaned against the car body. I bumped into him and he gasped, his brow furrowed. "You're so upset about being kicked out by me in the middle of the night that you're going to commit suicide?"
He smelled faintly of alcohol.
I touched my nose. "I just didn't look at the road... You know it's late at night? What's that?"
"Ruan Nanzhi."
He looked straight at me, his eyes shimmering with emotion, and his voice was cold. "The deadline is New Year's Day. If I don't hear from her by that day, I won't wait for her anymore."
I was stunned.
Naturally, I know what he meant by not waiting anymore.
I subconsciously dug my nails into my palms, feeling dazed, awkward, and confused...
After a moment, I looked at him hesitantly, "You always said that you would not give up on her... Zhou Fang!"
He suddenly reached out and held me in his arms. The scent of mint mixed with the cool air of the winter night lingered around my nose.
"A hug in advance."
However, he knew his limits and quickly let me go. He put aside his usual carelessness, his eyes were tender, and every word he said was clear and profound. "I was unsure at first, but when I saw you with Fu Qichuan today, I couldn't control myself and wanted to go against my original intention for once."
“…”
The first time I was in front of him, I felt a little helpless. It was completely different from the feeling I had when he caught me doing something shameful in the past.
Weird, confusing, and long-lost.
I stepped back involuntarily. "Where do you get the confidence that I will agree?"
“I have confidence everywhere.”
Zhou Fang turned around, opened the car door, took something out and handed it to me.
I wondered, but didn't reach out to take it. "What is this?"
"Just had a late-night snack with them."
For the first time ever, he felt a little self-conscious. "They packed food for their girlfriends, and the waiter made a mistake in the order, so there was an extra portion, so you got it for free."
"Have you...drunk?"
I was about to get carried away, but reason forced me to calm down. "Are you so sure there won't be any news from her in the next couple of days?"
But when I said this, I didn't expect that my words would be so effective.
His cell phone rang a few seconds later.
He didn't know what was said on the other end, but he stood up straight abruptly and almost dropped the midnight snack in his hand.
He asked, "Is the news reliable?"
