"Are you out of your mind, or are you still dreaming? We've only met a few times, we don't know each other at all, and you come to my door and confess your love and propose? Don't you find that ridiculous?"
Zhou Yi retorted: "I admit we haven't met much, and it's your problem that we don't know each other well. I wanted to take things step by step and get to know each other slowly."
But you didn't give me that chance, you cut off our contact and locked me in a dark room!
Confessing my feelings in person wasn't entirely unexpected; I think you were mentally prepared. I've sent you so many text messages, but you haven't replied, so the only option I had was to confess in person.
Chen Hong sighed and said helplessly, "I'm not replying to your messages and I've blocked you. Doesn't that show my attitude?"
I am now giving you my official reply: I do not agree to date you, and I will never get married.
Perhaps when the right time and the right person come along, I might enjoy the sweetness of a relationship, but I wouldn't want the responsibilities of marriage. Do you agree with this kind of "scumbag" woman's thinking?
Under Zhou Yi's scorching gaze, Chen Hong felt her mind was going blank. She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally managed to utter, "I was just talking nonsense, don't mind me!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Chen Hong covered her mouth in fright. "I said those words! Where is my brain?"
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, looking at Chen Hong covering her mouth tightly, her delicate face flushed red. It seemed that she was shocked by him!
Zhou Yi chuckled. In his thirty-five years of life, he had never met a woman like Chen Hong.
At this moment, she resembled a little girl who had done something wrong, filled with remorse, regret, shame, and indignation; several different expressions intertwined on her face.
Zhou Yi laughed even louder, his heart softening instantly. He couldn't help but reach across the coffee table, grab her hand, and hold it tightly, his thumb gently stroking the back of her hand.
Her voice was incredibly gentle, "Okay, as you say, we'll just date, not get married!"
Hearing Zhou Yi's shocking response, Chen Hong's mind finally started working again, and she couldn't help but purse her lips.
"Are you kidding me? Don't forget who you are. Do you even believe what you're saying? Not to mention your family, would your superiors allow it?"
Besides, don't take things out of context. I never said I wanted to date you. I wouldn't dare mess with someone like you!
"Stop joking! If you like it, stay here for a few days, enjoy the scenery by the sea, eat some fresh seafood, and go back when you've rested enough!"
With a slight struggle, Chen Hong pulled her hand back. Zhou Yi didn't expect Chen Hong to be so quick. Before he knew it, his hand was empty, just like his empty and uncomfortable feeling at that moment.
"Chen Hong, I'm telling the truth, not a single lie. My family won't stand in the way; they will respect all my decisions."
You don't need to worry about the military at all. There's no military regulation that says soldiers must get married if they're dating. Besides, I'm serious about dating you; I'm not playing around with women or engaging in any improper conduct.
I'm already very grateful that you've given me the chance to date you. Of course, I'd be even more satisfied if you change your mind and decide to marry me later.
Chen Hong, I'm now formally asking you to be my girlfriend. As a soldier, I can't guarantee I'll be by your side every day, but whenever I'm on leave, all my time is yours.
I know my profession makes me less than a good boyfriend, but I will try my best to be your support. I don't want to let go of your hand; you are the person I most want to spend my life with, besides my first love.
Chen Hong immediately perked up, her gossip-loving spirit blazing, "What about your first love? Did you break up or get divorced? No wonder you're still single at thirty-five, you've been hurt in love before!"
Zhou Yi was helpless about Chen Hong's ramblings, and fearing that she would misunderstand, he could only tell her directly: "She can't stand living apart from me for a long time, and she doesn't want to go with me to the military base."
What she needs is long-term companionship and a high-profile high-society life, which is exactly what I can't give her.
She remarried quickly after her divorce and went abroad with her husband, probably never to return!
Chen Hong murmured, "From what you're saying, you're very disappointed! Then you can't just find someone else, because society is changing so fast these days."
Who knows, maybe in a few years your career will take off, and your ex-wife will come back to you. You'll be in a real bind then! Men can never forget their unrequited love and their cherished memories!
Zhou Yi stared at her, then suddenly laughed. People who usually have a stern face really can't laugh.
This smile could only have two outcomes: either it would be terrifying or it would amaze the world. Of course, Zhou Yi was the latter; Chen Hong was immediately amazed by his smile!
At this moment, his distinctive, arched eyebrows were slightly raised, and beneath his narrow, single eyelids, his eyes were filled with inexplicable emotions and danger. His lips were sharply defined, and a slight smile played on his thin lips, making one's heart pound.
Chen Hong's cheeks flushed red, and she couldn't help but feel shy. She admitted that she had been successfully seduced by the handsome man in front of her!
Chen Hong secretly cursed herself. She was an old auntie who had lived two lifetimes. What kind of handsome young men hadn't she seen in movies and videos in her previous life? How could she have fallen for him at first sight?
