Chapter 19 If you provoke me again, my little belly will get bigger.
As arrogant as she was when chatting online, she was as cowardly as she was when facing him in person.
She didn't expect that after she provoked him in a WeChat message at noon, he came over in the evening. No matter where he went, he would show up as soon as he said it. He was really a man of action.
Su Li discovered that Zhou Jinbai had strong execution ability.
She didn't dare look at Zhou Jinbai at this moment, especially his serious face. He didn't look like the kind of person who would cross the north and the south because of a single word.
Su Li's words were unconvincing, which actually made Zhou Jinbai laugh. "That's unlike you. You're so arrogant when you're talking to me."
Su Li humbly replied, "Of course there's no pressure chatting online, and I don't have to be face to face with you."
Zhou Jinbai leaned back on the sofa, somewhat lazily. "Are you afraid to face me?"
Su Li looked at him again after hearing that. She always felt that his eyes were extremely cold and he looked at everyone like a dog, so she was reluctant to meet his gaze.
Now it is different from before. She can see different emotions in those eyes. Maybe it is only like this when facing her. Otherwise, Zhou Jinbai always has a cold and serious face to everyone.
Su Li mustered up the courage to meet his gaze. "Aren't you also afraid to face me? Otherwise, why did you ignore me after you left?"
Zhou Jinbai raised the corner of his lip when he heard this. "It does feel quite absurd that you found out. I tried to pretend it never happened, but I couldn't help it."
Su Li got angry when she heard that. She knew what Zhou Jinbai was thinking. "How funny! You did it, and you're trying to pretend it didn't happen. You also want to abandon me after having fun with me."
Zhou Jinbai denied it. "That's not the case. You didn't even say hello when I left. I thought you didn't want to see me or care about me."
Su Li asked, "If you think so, then why did you suddenly come here?"
Zhou Jinbai looked at her cold little face for a long time, then raised his body slightly and opened his arms. "Is it not okay for me to miss you? Come here."
Su Li didn't move. "You only say you miss me, but who knows who you really think of in your heart?"
Seeing that she didn't move, Zhou Jinbai stood up and walked towards her, sat next to her, and tried to hug her, but she broke free.
Zhou Jinbai was helpless, "Why are you still angry?"
Su Li's temper was written all over her face. "Since you don't intend to pay attention to me, then don't do these unnecessary things. I'm leaving."
Zhou Jinbai admitted his mistake, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let my imagination run wild. You're so pretty, but why are you so stubborn? I thought you ignored me because you didn't want to see me, so I didn't contact you. Anyway, you were with me just to get back at Zhou Zexi. You're such a bad girl! You slept with his dad just to get back at your cheating ex-husband."
His big hand rubbed her arm, "Don't be angry, being angry is bad for your health. You got off work so late, haven't you eaten yet? I'll take you out to eat."
Su Li wasn't hungry. "Not long after dinner, they all went out for a midnight snack. I didn't go because you came. But you're so willful. You flew from the north to the south just for a word from me."
Zhou Jinbai grabbed her hand, rubbing it in his palm. "It's not because of what you said. I really miss you. I haven't contacted you these days, and I've been thinking a lot. You slept with me on impulse, but I can't not take responsibility. But you don't really like me. If I take responsibility and trap you in marriage, wouldn't that be unfair to you?"
Su Li then turned her head to look at him, "So have you figured out the reason?"
Zhou Jinbai nodded. "Well, although I'm a conservative person and believe that I have to be responsible for whoever I sleep with, I don't want to make you feel bad. I'm so many years older than you. If I really marry you, it would be unfair to you. So why not just maintain a relationship? When you don't want to be with me anymore, I can let you go."
Su Li, "..."
Zhou Jinbai said calmly, "I don't care. I've lived like this for most of my life. It doesn't matter whether I have someone to accompany me for the rest of my life or not. Being with you is a blessing from fate in my later years. If I could be with you until the end, I would naturally be happy. But after thinking about it, that's unrealistic. You're still so young."
Su Li's heart twitched, "So you don't want to marry me?"
Zhou Jinbai hugged her again and let her sit on his lap. This time she did not refuse, but she felt a little sad.
He held Su Li's slender fingers, lowered his eyes and gently stroked her fingertips, "Of course I want to marry you, because marriage is good for me, but not for you."
Su Li felt that Zhou Jinbai was overthinking things. "You spent the first half of your life in a daze, not knowing what you wanted. You felt life was boring. Apart from money and a son who wasn't your biological son, you had nothing. You lived for others. Now that you're old, and finally have contact with a woman, you worry about this and that. Old Zhou, you were born to worry."
Zhou Jinbai raised his eyes to see her expression. "If you still want to divorce me in the future, it's better not to get married. I won't have any thoughts about you. Your feelings for me are not that deep. You will leave me sooner or later."
Su Li couldn't guarantee what would happen in the future. There were indeed many things standing between her and Zhou Jinbai. In addition to ethics, there were also parents, friends... and even the entire society.
Zhou Jinbai is indeed much older than her and can be her father. She also admits that if Zhou Zexi hadn't disgusted her, she would never have set her sights on Zhou Jinbai.
But since we have crossed that line, let's just take it slow. There are no other men around her anyway.
She didn't know how much Zhou Jinbai wanted to get married. Since he had considered it so carefully, Su Li didn't mention it.
She pulled her hand out of his, cupped his cheeks with her soft hands, and told him seriously, "I don't know if I like you or not, but I don't reject you. Maybe it's because I don't know you well enough, or maybe it's because we haven't been together for a long time, but I think you're pretty good."
Zhou Jinbai stared into her eyes with cold eyes, "But marriage is not just about me being good. There must be love. Only when there is love between us can we get married. Marriage is not a joke, Lizhi, I hope you can love me."
Su Li didn't know how to answer him. She looked at him for a while and chose to remain silent.
Zhou Jinbai didn't hear her answer, but he probably understood what she meant. His emotions remained stable. "It doesn't matter. It's okay if you don't love me. After all, you're young and haven't gotten over your past relationship yet. It's not a problem if you can't fall in love easily."
Su Li felt that he was very stable. "So what is our relationship now?"
Zhou Jinbai thought for a moment, "Underground lover? Not allowed to be seen in public."
Su Li pinched his face and said, "What's so shameful about that? Sooner or later, it will come to light."
Zhou Jinbai didn't answer again. He put his big hands around her shoulders and patted them gently, not knowing what he was thinking.
Su Li asked him, "Are you leaving tomorrow?"
He asked softly, "When do you want me to leave? If you don't want to see me, I can leave now."
Su Li was stunned and looked carefully into his eyes. He lowered his eyes and did not look at Su Li. Su Li could only see his long eyelashes trembling, and could not see the emotion in his eyes. "Lao Zhou, are you angry?"
He shook his head. "No."
Su Li noticed something. "If you're not angry, why don't you look at me? What are you angry about?"
He then raised his eyes to look at Su Li, his eyes still without sadness or joy. "I'm not angry, I just feel that everything that happened between us happened too quickly. I should be more rational. You acted recklessly, and I followed your recklessness. This is not what people of this age should do at all. I can understand your youth and impulsiveness, but I... that's all. Let's calm down from now on."
Su Li exhaled slowly and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I will be responsible for you. Don't be unhappy."
Hearing this, he chuckled, "Don't be wronged. I didn't ask you to be responsible. As long as you don't feel at a disadvantage, that's fine."
Su Li rested her head in his arms, rubbing her cheek against the slightly cold skin of his chest. "I won't suffer any loss. There is no one in this world who is richer than you, Zhou Jinbai, and not bad looking. I have both money and beauty. I have made a fortune."
He rubbed his jawline against her furry little head, and stroked her long hair with one hand, "Then you love me, okay?"
Su Li's heart ached. A person standing at the top of the food chain actually longed for love. If she was as rich as Zhou Jinbai, she could buy any love.
But she still nodded, "Okay, I'll try my best."
Zhou Jinbai felt much relieved, "It's okay if you don't love me."
Su Li inexplicably felt that Zhou Jinbai was lacking love, no matter in what sense.
She looked up at his expression and saw that he was looking down at her. Su Li rested her head back in his arms.
"Since you want me to love you, then you should stick to me more in the future. Don't be like this this month. I ignored you and you ignored me. How can you be like this in a relationship? I'm a woman, and you let me take the initiative?"
Zhou Jinbai nodded.
"I see. I thought women would only take the initiative if they liked someone. If they don't take the initiative, it means they don't like you."
Su Li hit his chest and asked, "Who told you that?"
Zhou Jinbai replied, "They are all like this."
Su Li asked, "Who are they? Who took the initiative with you?"
In the past, all the women who pursued Zhou Jinbai were like this, very proactive, but he was too lazy to look at them.
He smiled and said, "No one."
So he thought that only those who liked someone would take the initiative. If Su Li didn't contact him actively, it meant that she didn't want to see him, so he didn't dare to contact her.
Since she said so, he can contact her openly in the future.
After sitting with her in his arms for a while, it was getting late, so Zhou Jinbai asked her to take a shower and rest.
Su Li left in a hurry and didn't bring pajamas with her when she came, so she asked Zhou Jinbai to find her some clothes.
He took out a women's nightgown from the suitcase and handed it to Su Li, "I washed it, you can wear it directly."
Su Li took the silk nightgown, her face full of confusion, "Where did you get it?"
He looked calm and said, "I prepared this for you, in case you suddenly come to see me and don't have pajamas to wear."
Su Li looked like she saw through him, "Uncle Zhou has already planned to meet me tonight."
Zhou Jinbai, "..."
Su Li teased him, "You're pretending to be so sophisticated, but what you're thinking is really exciting, right?"
After she finished speaking, she went into the bathroom and closed the door. Zhou Jinbai wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed it all back.
He really didn't think too much about it. He was just afraid that she would come to see him suddenly and have no clothes to wear like last time, so he prepared one or two pieces of clothing.
He came to see Su Li simply because he missed her, and didn't think about any passionate scenes that would happen.
When she rejected him, his heart actually calmed down a little. He felt that she was right to reject him, so he decided to give up, even though his heart would still be aroused after seeing her.
But at least he had no intention of getting closer. He didn't expect Su Li to take the initiative to find him. It had already had a great impact on him. It would be strange if he could calm down.
Su Li's approach made him happy, but also doomed him. As a man who had never felt any emotion in his life, he was really screwed this time and had no rationality at all.
He felt like he was a complete novice when it came to relationships. He didn't know how to pursue someone or how to coax them. He cared too much about what the other person thought, which made him feel restrained in everything he did.
He felt that he should calm down and at least not cause trouble for Su Li during her career growth period.
He was indeed crazy last time, but he was much more rational this time and had no plans to sleep with her tonight. She would sleep in the bedroom and he would sleep on the sofa.
So I never went into the bedroom.
Su Li came out of the shower, wrapped her hair with a bath towel, and waited for a while before using a hair dryer to blow her hair until it was half dry.
She came out wearing Zhou Jinbai's nightgown, showing off her good figure. The nightgown was knee-length, and her white calves could be seen without any cover.
Seeing Zhou Jinbai still sitting on the sofa, Su Li asked him, "Are you going to stay up late?"
Zhou Jinbai turned around and looked at her, "I won't sleep with you tonight."
Su Li was stunned. "Ah? Didn't you come all the way here just to sleep with me?"
Zhou Jinbai, "..." He silently turned off the phone screen and placed it on the table, "What did I just say to you? You forgot it in the blink of an eye."
Su Li snorted, "Your tone is very similar to when my dad scolds me. I don't like it."
Zhou Jinbai, "..."
Su Li, "There's already a big age gap between us, and you still talk to me in that tone."
Zhou Jinbai was helpless, "Don't make trouble, I am satisfied just by coming to see you."
Su Li walked up to him, lifted her long legs and sat on his lap, communicating with him face to face.
Zhou Jinbai could see her proud cleavage just by lowering his eyes.
The scent of rose shower gel lingered around, mixing with the scent on her body and invading his olfactory nerves.
Su Li deliberately provoked him, rubbing his cheekbones with the tips of her thumbs, feeling his temperature slowly rising.
She whispered, "I didn't expect that our serious Uncle Zhou is actually a pure love party? He likes someone and is satisfied with just one look?"
Zhou Jinbai's Adam's apple moved, and his eyes became sticky and moist. He warned her, "Have you forgotten why you cried last time? Do you still want to go to work tomorrow?"
Su Li lowered her head and kissed the corner of his lips. "Let's talk about tomorrow tomorrow. I've forgotten what I felt last time. Can you help me recall it?"
Zhou Jinbai, "..."
She became more and more presumptuous, sucking his lower lip with her lips, "Kissing you really feels good, Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Jinbai exhaled slowly, his breathing became rapid. He climbed up her back with his big hands and licked her lips eagerly.
"Litchi, you asked for it."
Su Li loved his crazy look so much. He said he would stay calm, but he couldn't bear it when she kissed him.
She felt quite accomplished to be able to seduce such a cold and aloof person into this state.
"I asked for it, but Uncle Zhou, you didn't buy condoms."
"What condoms? You have to be pregnant before you know what you're doing."
He was a man after all. After taking the initiative, he became strong and his kissing skills improved a lot. Su Li's tongue tip became numb from his kiss.
She whimpered for a long time before Zhou Jinbai withdrew from her mouth. His eyes were heavy with desire, "If you mess with me again, your little belly will be enlarged."
