Chapter 93 I know everything, I'm sorry...
Grandma Zhou and Zhou Jingtian were about to pick up Chengcheng from school when they saw Zhou Songyan return, their faces full of frustration.
Zhou Songyan acted as if she hadn't seen them, walked over, leaned back on the sofa, and looked up at the ceiling.
Both of them were taken aback.
Zhou Jingtian thought to himself, he had skipped work early to come home, and his son had also skipped work.
Grandma Zhou walked over and kicked him: "What's wrong with you, looking like that?"
Zhou Songyan: "Grandma, I can't forgive myself."
Grandma Zhou was taken aback: "What did you do?"
“Grandma, Li Mai broke up with me because she was threatened. Do you remember what happened at the Suzhou branch? The project I was working on went wrong.”
Both Zhou Jingtian and his grandmother remembered this incident.
Zhou Songyan: "The reason that project went wrong was because of the daughter of Jiang Yaowu, the company's vice president at the time. After the incident, Jiang Yuan threatened Li Mai to break up with me, saying that if she didn't, she would make me take the blame. Li Mai had no choice but to do so."
"Grandma, I'm such a bastard! If I hadn't hidden my identity, Li Mai wouldn't have been threatened, and we wouldn't have broken up."
"It's all my fault. I've blamed Li Mai all these years, thinking of her as a vain woman. I'm such a jerk! Grandma, I feel so bad..."
Zhou Songyan felt he was too ashamed to face Li Mai now.
Grandma Zhou knew there was a misunderstanding; Li Mai wasn't that kind of person.
She glanced down at her eldest grandson, who was dying of guilt, and ultimately couldn't bear it.
"Why are you telling me you feel guilty? Go talk to my granddaughter-in-law and beg for her forgiveness. No matter what it takes, you have to make her happy!"
Grandma Zhou couldn't help but scold him again: "You, don't be influenced by your mother. There are still many good women in the world."
"You must be honest with your granddaughter-in-law from now on. If you treat her with sincerity, she will treat you with sincerity in return."
"Alright, think about it yourself. I still have to go pick up Chengcheng."
Zhou Songyan glanced at his watch: "Isn't Chengcheng supposed to get out of school at four o'clock? It's only two o'clock now, aren't you guys going too early?"
"And Dad, don't you have to go to work?"
Zhou Jingtian, who hadn't said a word, was holding a toy airplane in his hand: "If you don't go to work, why should I?"
Zhou Songyan: "..."
Grandma Zhou: "Chengcheng doesn't like going to kindergarten. Let's go early and talk to the teacher so we can pick Chengcheng up as soon as possible."
Zhou Songyan said helplessly, "Don't spoil the child too much, or he'll become spoiled."
Zhou Jingtian: "Chengcheng is very smart, he understands everything, and he won't be spoiled."
Grandma Zhou pulled him, saying, "Don't talk to him, let's go."
Zhou Songyan: "..."
He sat alone in the old house for a while, then drove to the company.
I have a meeting this afternoon.
...
Li Mai received a call from Grandma Zhou, saying that they had picked up Chengcheng and would take him out for dinner.
Li Mai didn't need to cook dinner, so she simply cooked a bowl of instant noodles after getting home from get off work.
It's been a while since I've had this, and it tastes pretty good.
With the child out of her reach, she felt much more relaxed. After a while, she took a shower and then lay on the sofa watching TV.
Knock knock knock.
Someone knocked on the door.
She thought it was Chengcheng returning, so she went to open the door.
Standing at the door was Zhou Songyan, holding a box in his hands.
Zhou Songyan looked at her for a while and asked, "May I come in?"
Li Mai: "..."
When did this person ever ask for her permission to come in? He acts like he's in his own home.
I have no idea what's gotten into him tonight.
She turned around, went back to the sofa, sat cross-legged, and continued watching the show.
Zhou Songyan pursed her lips, walked in, closed the door, and bent down to change her shoes.
Li Mai was watching the show when she heard rustling sounds next to her.
Turning my head, I saw Zhou Songyan opening a box and taking out a robot vacuum cleaner.
With a series of crashes, Zhou Songyan threw the packaging boxes at the door again.
Li Mai glanced at him as he closed the door and walked towards her.
My heart started racing for no reason.
She wasn't paying any attention to what was happening on TV.
Zhou Songyan sat down next to her, and their clothes brushed against each other.
Li Mai moved to the side.
Zhou Songyan moved closer to her again, this time sitting right next to her.
Li Mai moved to the other end of the sofa, and Zhou Songyan followed.
Until Li Mai moved to the end of the sofa, there was no more room for her to move.
She turned to look at Zhou Songyan: "Don't sit next to me."
Zhou Songyan kept his eyes glued to the television and didn't say a word.
After a while, Li Mai noticed that he was still staring at the television.
"You like watching this?"
The TV was showing a recently popular fantasy drama.
"What?"
Zhou Songyan turned to look at her, his eyes somewhat confused.
Li Mai pouted.
She was watching quite attentively, she said.
I didn't hear anything.
Li Mai didn't repeat herself. She got up to leave, but Zhou Songyan was squeezing her and making her uncomfortable.
She had just stood up when a large hand pulled her down, and she sat directly on Zhou Songyan's lap.
She turned her head and met Zhou Songyan's gaze.
The man's eyes were burning, unfathomable, and seemed to hold something else entirely.
She quickly avoided his gaze: "Let me go."
Zhou Songyan suddenly grabbed her hand and slapped his own face.
"MaiMai, hit me if you want."
Li Mai: "..."
She was completely baffled by Zhou Songyan's actions.
He struggled and said, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Songyan suddenly buried his head in her chest again and said in a muffled voice, "I know everything, I'm sorry..."
He has misunderstood Li Mai for so long.
Li Mai slowly lowered her head to look at him.
Neither of them spoke after that.
Li Mai's hand hovered in the air. She closed her eyes and suppressed the rising sorrow.
Crack.
The door lock was turned.
Li Mai grabbed Zhou Songyan's head and pushed him away.
Caught off guard, Zhou Songyan was pushed onto the sofa by her.
When Chengcheng pushed open the door, he saw his father lying on the sofa in a comical pose, while his mother stood next to the TV, both of them looking strange.
Grandma Zhou, who was following behind, also saw it.
This air...
There was an awkwardness mixed with a hint of ambiguity.
The two of them were just...
Oh, it can't be what she's thinking, can it?
Grandma Zhou laughed so hard her wrinkles appeared.
Grandma Zhou didn't go in: "Well, Songyan's father is waiting for me downstairs, I'll go back first."
Before Li Mai could explain, Old Mrs. Zhou closed the door and ran away.
Zhou Songyan gave Li Mai a resentful look, then calmly got up and sat down.
Chengcheng's eyes darted back and forth between his parents, then drifted to his room, and a little while later, he drifted to the bathroom.
Li Mai awkwardly ran to the balcony to hang up the clothes.
Zhou Songyan walked behind her, took the clothes she had arranged, and hung them up.
After hanging up the clothes, Li Mai was about to leave when Zhou Songyan stopped her.
Li Mai turned her head and glared at him: "Chengcheng is here, you better behave yourself."
Zhou Songyan smiled and said, "I know, I'll choose times when he's not around from now on."
Li Mai: "..."
"MaiMai, give me your phone."
"what?"
"I'll connect the robot vacuum to you, so you can schedule sweeping and mopping on your phone."
