That night, Zhou Jiao could always feel that her husband's heart was not in a good mood. Even when he was talking to the children after dinner, he would glance at her from time to time.
She looked at Zhang Guoqing's back thoughtfully and smiled.
——This guy got the information in time.
After putting the children to sleep, Zhou Jiao returned to her room without further ado, "Have you heard about it?"
She got straight to the point, but that didn't necessarily mean Zhang Guoqing would do the same. He looked at the familiar face in front of him with a half-smile, "What did you hear?"
"Haha, it's just something going on at work. By the way, who did you hear the news from?"
Zhang Guoqing glanced at her and said, "Guess!"
"Chen Zhao! He's on his day off today."
Zhang Guoqing wasn't surprised she'd guessed that. There were quite a few people in her unit who seemed close to her, but when it came down to it, aside from Shen Zhao, who had a connection with Master Wu, the others were just nodding acquaintances.
Seeing him smiling without saying anything, Zhou Jiao understood even more and punched him in the face. "It seems I have no freedom at all. Everything is under your watch."
Zhang Guoqing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and while taking off his coat, he joked: "Wife, are you having an affair?"
"Yeah, that Cao Tianqin looks like a decent guy. He hangs around the office all day showing off. It really makes my eyes dazzled."
Zhang Guoqing was startled by these words. He turned around quickly, almost stumbling and falling, and looked at her in surprise, "You said someone actually wants to poach my girlfriend?"
Zhou Jiao opened her mouth slightly and looked at him in surprise. Bro, are you serious?
"Come on, tell your husband who else has had feelings for you. If these bastards don't learn a lesson, they really don't know how many eyes the Horse King has."
Zhang Guoqing picked up Zhou Jiao and placed her on the bed. He squatted in front of her and smiled seductively, "Do people often come to your office to talk about work? What ideas do they have?"
Zhou Jiao blinked and shook her head.
"Do male colleagues often sit next to you in the cafeteria at noon and keep trying to chat with you? For example, some people just keep talking nonsense, talking about how his wife is not around, or that there are relationship problems..."
Zhou Jiao immediately fell on the bed with laughter, pounding the quilt vigorously. Oh, if a man really said these things in front of her, she would have chased him away long ago, and there was no chance for him to talk nonsense!
She's not an ignorant girl, so how could she not understand these tricks? First, she tries to gain sympathy from the opposite sex, then looks for opportunities to resonate with them. Isn't that how extramarital affairs happen?
Besides, what topics can a man and a woman talk about? First, they are not parents, and second, they are not brothers. Who can guarantee that they will not cause trouble on the grounds of conduct? She does not believe in the nonsense of a male confidant.
Zhang Guoqing leaned over beside her, looking at her smiling face, his heart ached. It seemed that someone really wanted to steal his girl away.
It wasn't that he didn't trust his wife, but he always felt like someone was snooping on his most precious treasure. Whenever he thought of someone having such thoughts, he wanted to destroy them all.
Zhou Jiao finally stopped laughing and asked quietly, "Have any lesbians come to chat with you recently?"
"Tsk...Everyone knows that I, Zhang Guoqing, never say a word to women outside of my home, except for my wife, and never get within one meter of the opposite sex."
Zhou Jiao glanced at him. Was such an exaggeration necessary? However, she liked it!
Zhang Guoqing looked at her cheerful smile and took the opportunity to say, "Look at how loyal I am to you. You should know that the most feared thing between men and women is too much contact.
Once you give the other party the opportunity to contact you, even if you don't have any thoughts in your mind, all kinds of messy gossip will appear. In this regard, we must learn from Dad, he is a typical good man.
"Look at our dad. Does he always retreat to the study or go out directly when a lesbian comes over? You are his biological daughter, so he will definitely let him do that."
If Zhou Jiao still doesn't understand, she will start to doubt her own IQ.
She stretched out her arm and put it beside him in a funny way, patted him comfortingly, and joked: "You have to have confidence in yourself. In this world, apart from my father and our three sons, there is no other man who can compare to you and make me look at him more. Even the old man Koukou can't do that."
Zhang Guoqing reached out and hugged her, still refusing to admit defeat, "Of course. Your husband is handsome and talented, a blue chip stock. What are those wild men out there compared to him?"
Zhou Jiao nuzzled his chest with a smile. She still wanted to be with this man for three lifetimes, so how could she bear to give up the deep affection he had given her?
The couple chatted and chatted, and once again strayed from the topic. After a long while, Zhang Guoqing, who was still satisfied, suddenly felt something.
"Were you the one who caused the divine punishment?"
Zhou Jiao was startled when she heard this, then laughed and said, "You still remember this?"
She didn't want to hide Zhang Guoqing, "That guy is so annoying, jumping around all the time. If he didn't provoke me, I wouldn't do anything to him.
Well, it's not that I'm afraid of him, but things are getting a bit complicated in my unit right now. He and another group are scheming against each other, and this time, even I've been innocently implicated. And that other group wants to use me to deal with his group. I'm so bored, why would I get involved in all this shit?
Zhang Guoqing sighed inwardly. This was just like being in the underworld, always having no choice. Just like him, his father-in-law, there were always some self-righteous people trying to win over others, without even considering who was the fool and why they were willing to be used by you.
Sure enough, Zhou Jiao also had such thoughts. She sneered, "What's funny is that after seeing me withdraw this time, those people really thought I was easy to control."
Zhang Guoqing played with her delicate hands and said with a smile, "So you couldn't help yourself? Wouldn't that be like helping the other group?"
Zhou Jiao narrowed her eyes. "How could it be that simple? It seems that Shen Chao still hasn't explained everything to you. Besides Cao Tianqin, there's another person who has also been isolated for investigation. I passed some of Cao Tianqin's incriminating evidence on his opponent, and then handed his opponent's evidence to him. Now they're fighting dog-eat-dog. What does it have to do with me?"
"They deserve it! This is good, at least you are not implicated. Shen Zhao came to see me today, and he asked if I was the one who did it? Apart from saying that Cao Tianqin was isolated for investigation, he didn't mention anyone else. It seems that this guy didn't tell me the truth either."
Zhou Jiao smiled noncommittally, "We can't really tell him the truth. He's already pretty good. You know, Sister Jin is a relative of ours. I've helped her a lot before, but when she found out I couldn't go abroad, she just pretended to say a few words of comfort, and she didn't dare say a word to those people in secret."
Zhang Guoqing was silent for a moment, then asked, "Have you ever thought about changing jobs?"
Zhou Jiao shook her head decisively, "There's no way I can leave now. I'd rather stay in a familiar environment and be safe. Let's wait a little longer until it's over, and then we can decide."
The end?
Zhang Guoqing held her hand tightly, speechless for a moment. He was still too weak to even let his beloved do as she pleased.
