Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Wait until I've kissed you enough
As soon as he said this, Shen Zhuo regretted it.
"No, I..."
Shao Chengzhang stood up directly and walked out without stopping when passing by Chen Zhuo.
Chen Zhuo felt a little guilty. Oh my god, what was I just saying...
She immediately turned around and followed him. When she saw him reach the entrance, she asked, "Where are you going?"
Shao Chengzhang paused, but didn't turn around. He said coldly, "Didn't you ask me to find someone else? Fine, as you wish."
Chen Zhuo frowned. She knew he was just speaking in anger, but the sarcastic tone only made her angrier. She couldn't help but retort, "Go ahead, find as many as you want."
Shao Chengzhang was so angry that he walked away. The electronic lock slammed shut with a click.
"Damn it!" Chen Zhuo stood there with his hands on his waist, staring at the closed door and cursing, "Are you the only one who can leave..." Chen Zhuo quickly walked back to the bedroom, changed his clothes in a few seconds, went out, and drove to Zhonghu.
Jiang Jun was at home. She heard some noise at the door and came out of the bedroom. She was a little surprised to see Chen Zhuo coming over. "Why are you back?"
Chen Zhuo angrily threw his car keys onto the shoe cabinet, changed into slippers and walked in. "I had a fight with Shao Chengzhang."
"Ah?" Jiang Jun asked curiously, "Why? Aren't you two good friends?"
"Bullshit, he's just looking for trouble." Shen Zhuo walked to the hidden wine cabinet and took out a bottle of Laphroaig 10 years, and Jiang Jun took two whiskey glasses from the cup rack.
Chen Zhuo opened the bottle and poured a little more than a cup for each of them to drink neat.
This was a very strong whiskey, with a strong peat flavor. Just by holding the glass close, one could smell the strong smell piercing the nose, making it uncomfortable. Shen Zhuo frowned and took a sip. The tip of his tongue was filled with spiciness, and then it felt like fire when it entered his throat. The aftertaste had a hint of caramel in the burning sensation. In the past, Shen Zhuo would never drink such a strong liquor neat. Jiang Jun knew that this really angered her. She picked up the glass and clinked it with Shen Zhuo's, "Tell me."
"I didn't tell him about my bank loan, so he asked me why I didn't tell him. He said he could give me the money..." Chen Zhuo started talking, and then she asked again: "Do you think it's my fault? Is it my fault that I didn't ask him for money?"
"And it's three million, not a small amount of money. Shouldn't you be happy for me if I got it myself? If I were a man, I would be so happy to have a wife who is engaged in business and doesn't spend her own money. I don't understand what he is arguing about. Isn't he just looking for trouble..." Shen Zhuo became more and more excited as he spoke.
Jiang Jun thought for a moment and said, "After listening to you, I actually understand Shao Chengzhang a little bit."
"Ah?" Chen Zhuo turned to look at her, "Why?"
"It's just that you two haven't completely opened up to each other yet." Jiang Jun analyzed, "Look, I know about your bank loan, and Auntie knows about it, but Shao Chengzhang is also one of your closest people. Even if you don't want to use his money, you should tell him."
"Then I didn't ask him to tell me everything about his work." Shen Zhuo retorted.
"That's still different." Jiang Jun thought for a moment and said, "His work is his daily routine, but what you are going through now is a new beginning for you. Besides, he must have experienced everything you have experienced. He must hope that you can share more with him."
"Besides, he doesn't care about money. He cares about where you put him."
Shen Zhuo sipped the rim of his cup and said nothing.
"To put it bluntly," Jiang Jun said, "you're just too used to carrying things on your own. You think not bothering others is a sign of respect for the relationship, but from his perspective, he might feel unwanted and untrusted. Whether you say it or not, your actions are perfectly fine. But in a relationship, this can make people feel like you're not opening up enough, that you're holding back, and it's normal for him to feel insecure."
Chen Zhuo's fingertips gently stroked the glass wall and sighed, "This won't work, and that won't work. Dating is so troublesome."
"Hey, be content." Jiang Jun laughed, "After all, you two are quarreling because you like each other. Some people can only have unrequited love."
Chen Zhuo felt that Jiang Jun's words were full of hidden meanings. "Who? You? Is there something going on between you and that male guest?"
"No." Jiang Jun denied, "We agreed that it was just a pure date."
Chen Zhuo didn't believe it: "From the tone of your voice, you are not in love with him, right?"
Jiang Jun concealed his emotions and said with a smile: "No, I have walked through a thousand flowers without getting a single leaf on me. Hey, don't change the subject, talk about your business."
Shen Zhuo leaned back, rested his head on the sofa, looked at the ceiling and sighed.
So she hasn't completely opened her heart to Shao Chengzhang yet? But now that she thinks about it, she has never really expressed her need or dependence on him. Everything Shao Chengzhang did for her was his initiative and she passively accepted it.
"Then why is it like this? Is it because I don't love him or trust him?" Chen Zhuo murmured, as if asking Jiang Jun, or as if asking himself.
"No, it's just that you haven't completely let down your guard." Jiang Jun said.
Chen Zhuo was at a loss: "Then what should I do?"
Jiang Jun thought for a moment and said, "Allow yourself to show him your vulnerability and dependence, let him know and see your true emotions. You don't need to keep saying things like 'I can do it' or 'I can handle it'. Instead, tell him the difficulties you're facing honestly. Even if you can handle it yourself, you're willing to share the process with him... This will deepen the connection between you and him."
Shen Zhuo nodded, not quite understanding.
"There's a simple way: you can say anything to him that you would say to me."
Chen Zhuo continued: "That's still different. I can tell you anything."
Jiang Jun pouted and said, "Although I don't want Shao Chengzhang to become as important as me in your heart, there is nothing I can do."
Chen Zhuo assured her: "It's okay, classic question, if you and him fall into the water, I will definitely save you first."
Jiang Jun was touched and sobbed while hugging her arms. Then she heard Chen Zhuo say, "Anyway, Shao Chengzhang is a very good swimmer. He won't drown."
"..." Jiang Jun's feeling of being touched was instantly shattered. She suddenly raised her head and said angrily, "You, who can't swim, jumped into the water. Are you trying to save me or harm me?"
Shen Zhuo couldn't help laughing, "You two save me."
Jiang Jun rolled her eyes at her. Chen Zhuo picked up the glass and clinked it with hers. She took a sip and immediately frowned. This time, she couldn't help but complain, "This wine is really hard to drink straight."
"..." Jiang Jun stopped her and poured the remaining few sips of wine into his own glass, "Don't drink it, it's a complete waste."
"Oh, there's one more thing." Jiang Jun thought for a moment and added, "You have to allow him to have emotions. Don't say things like 'If you don't like me, go find someone else' every time you have an argument. What if he really does find someone else?"
"He dares?" Chen Zhuo straightened up, his eyes wide open and snorted, "If he really dares to cheat, I'll chop off his thing and hang it in front of their company."
"Hahaha..." Jiang Jun burst into laughter, "You're so cruel."
At the same time, Shao Chengzhang, who was sitting at the bar on the second floor of "Du" looking for others to drink with, couldn't help sneezing.
Boss Liang smiled at him and said jokingly, "Believe it or not, it must be your wife scolding you."
Shao Chengzhang glanced at him indifferently.
Boss Liang glanced at the time. It was almost midnight. "So you're not planning on going home tonight?"
"No." Shao Chengzhang also became stubborn. No matter how he thought about it, he didn't think he was wrong, unless Chen Zhuo came to reconcile with him first.
"Aren't you afraid that your wife won't look for you?"
"Shut up." Shao Chengzhang snorted, "I'm telling you there's no way she won't look for me."
"Okay." Boss Liang raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing with his lips curled.
*
Chen Zhuo stayed in Zhonghu for three days. She did not return to Yuelan Bay, nor did she look for Shao Chengzhang. Instead, she screened the contracted artists she was interested in. During this time, she picked up her phone countless times to check for messages, but there was no message from Shao Chengzhang.
Shao Chengzhang was really patient. During these three days, he never took the initiative to look for her.
After receiving the express package for the battle robe, Jiang Jun asked her to return to Yuelan Bay quickly. Shen Zhuo was still a little embarrassed to speak first. It's not that he hadn't coaxed him before, but they were all small quarrels that didn't involve the real emotions of the two. This time, Shen Zhuo felt that Shao Chengzhang was really angry.
Jiang Jun directly pushed her a link to sexy lingerie, "Wear this, and men will be at their most vulnerable in bed. Then you can just make them give in and coax them into submission."
Shen Zhuo remembered that Shao Chengzhang seemed to be very excited when he saw her wearing this kind of thing, so he decided to place an order.
Shao Chengzhang only boasted about his bravery with Liang Yuchen, but he still returned from the ferry that night. When he got home, he found that Shen Zhuoren had disappeared, and he became even angrier.
But even though he was angry, he still got off work on time these days. Every time he arrived at the door of his house, he would check to see if there were Chen Zhuo's shoes. She hadn't been home for three days.
It was still afternoon when Chen Zhuo came back, and she planned to wait for Shao Chengzhang to come back and make dinner for him.
In the past, when Chen Zhuo and Ms. Chi argued, neither of them would give in, and they would remain deadlocked until dinner time. Ms. Chi would ask if she wanted to eat, and Chen Zhuo would say yes. Then, the two of them would sit at the table and reconcile naturally without saying anything else.
Shen Zhuo decided to leave it at that.
When Shao Chengzhang returned home at night, he found Chen Zhuo's shoes at the door. Knowing that she was back, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. After laughing for two seconds, he forced himself to calm down. He was still angry.
He unlocked the door and entered. Chen Zhuo was washing vegetables in the sink on the island counter. Hearing the sound, she turned off the faucet, walked behind the wall of the entrance hall and listened quietly. After confirming that it was Shao Chengzhang who came back, she immediately walked to the island counter and started washing, pretending to be busy.
The sink on the island counter faces the living room, so Shao Chengzhang will definitely see her when he comes in.
However, to her surprise, when Shao Chengzhang passed by her, he walked past her without even looking at her, and did not stop for her at all.
Chen Zhuo stared at his back as he walked away and was stunned.
Yes, it works.
Shao Chengzhang walked to the study, put down his briefcase, walked behind the glass door, and stuck his head out several times to see if Shen Zhuo would come over.
After waiting for a few minutes and hearing no footsteps at all, Shao Chengzhang decided to go to the kitchen again.
As soon as he stepped out, he heard Shen Zhuo seemed to be walking towards this side, so he quickly sat behind the desk, slowly opened his briefcase and took out the notebook.
Chen Zhuo walked to the door with a stern face, leaned against the glass door with his arms folded, and asked him, "Do you want to have dinner?"
Shao Chengzhang looked up at her and said, controlling his voice and expression, "I don't want to eat."
……Depend on!
If you don’t want to eat, then don’t eat! Shen Zhuo turned and left.
With his arrogant attitude, why should she apologize?
Chen Zhuo ignored him and let him do whatever he wanted. She cooked some clear noodle soup in a soup pot and fried some tofu in a frying pan.
When washing the pot, she didn't pay attention to the hot and cold water. She turned on the faucet, and the cold water suddenly poured into the pan with hot oil boiling at the bottom. There was an immediate "crackling" sound, and oil splashed directly onto the back of her hand.
Shen Zhuo subconsciously let go of his hand in pain, and the pot hit the sink with a "bang".
"What's wrong?" Almost at the same time, Shao Chengzhang rushed into the kitchen and saw Shen Zhuo staring at the back of her hand with her head down. He held her fingertips and examined them, and found a red mark the size of a soybean on the back of her hand.
"Are you burned?" he asked anxiously.
"Um."
Shao Chengzhang picked up the pot and placed it on the table, then turned on the faucet to the coldest setting and rinsed the back of Shen Zhuo's hand.
Shen Zhuo let him cool himself down.
The water was too cold. After washing for a while, Chen Zhuo felt a stinging sensation as if from ice and couldn't help but pull his hand back.
"Shower for a while longer, or you'll get blisters easily." He said as he checked her other hand. "Is there anywhere else burned?"
Shen Zhuo shook his head and said, "No."
"I'll get you some honey to rub it on." Shao Chengzhang turned to open the refrigerator, but was pulled back by Chen Zhuo. He stumbled forward two steps, his lips almost touching her forehead.
Chen Zhuo held onto the shirt on both sides of his waist, not letting go, lowered his head and asked softly, "Shao Chengzhang, are you still angry?"
Shao Chengzhang paused. He didn't expect Chen Zhuo to ask this. He took a breath, and his nose was filled with her scent. His emotions churned in his heart. He missed her so much.
"Treat the burn first. If you don't, I will be really angry." Shao Chengzhang said.
After hearing what he said, Shen Zhuo no longer cared about face and stood on tiptoe with his hands on his neck tightly, raised his calves to hook his knees and tried to rub up.
"Hold me." Shen Zhuo's command was accompanied by a hint of coquettishness.
Shao Chengzhang sighed helplessly, bent down slightly, held her thighs with his hands, and picked her up.
Shen Zhuo rested his chin on his shoulder and softened his tone: "I was wrong. I will tell you if there is anything in the future. I won't carry it alone anymore."
"Yeah." He responded in a low voice.
Shen Zhuo continued, "It's not that I don't need you, nor do I distrust you."
"Um."
Chen Zhuo pulled away a little, finally meeting his eyes, and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why are you just saying 'hmm'? Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
"Actually, I'm more sad than angry. I feel like I'm of no use to you at all." Shao Chengzhang nuzzled her nose. "I shouldn't blame you, actually. I've been wondering these past few days if my requirements are too harsh."
"We didn't follow the conventional steps for dating and marriage. As for our progress, we're just dating, only a few months old. But I'm impatiently trying to apply the same standards to our relationship and interactions as a married couple."
Shen Zhuo didn't expect Shao Chengzhang to think this way. At this moment, her heart was swelling, but she kept asking for more and more. "You have realized it, why don't you come to me?"
Shao Chengzhang smiled helplessly, lowered his head and bit her cheek lightly, "Sometimes, men also have some self-esteem and face. But if you don't come back, I will soon be unable to bear it."
Shen Zhuo put his forehead against his and whispered, "Then we won't have a cold war."
"Yeah." Shao Chengzhang nodded, his eyes fixed on her, "No more cold war."
Shao Chengzhang weighed her, wanting her to sit more steadily, but Shen Zhuo took the opportunity to clamp his waist, straightened his body, and moved up a little, so that she was still a little taller than Shao Chengzhang.
She lowered her head slightly to look at him, then put one arm around him, and with the other hand she stroked his face. She suddenly lowered her head and kissed him, their breaths intertwined.
Shao Chengzhang subconsciously reached out to hold her tightly, and waited until she let go before he whispered, "Let's take a look at your hand first." He was still concerned about her injuries and wanted to let her down, but Chen Zhuo held him tightly and refused to let go.
Shen Zhuo's lips were still pressed against his, and he said vaguely: "It doesn't hurt anymore, wait until I've kissed you enough."
