Chapter 45 I am a law-abiding citizen and do not break the law.
She felt insecure in that relationship.
Of course, it also has to do with her own personality.
She harbored hopes and fantasies of reuniting with Zhou Songyan.
But reality slapped her in the face.
She was like a turtle, retracting her head into her shell and never daring to stick it out again.
Perhaps Zhou Songyan likes her.
But how many can there be?
Besides, there's also that Miss Guan.
She is vulnerable.
She was greedy.
She is timid.
Rather than feeling lost and anxious, she preferred to maintain the status quo.
She pushed Zhou Songyan away, deliberately keeping a straight face: "I am a law-abiding citizen and I do not break the law."
Zhou Songyan stood there, his dark eyes fixed on her.
The warmth of her hand lingers on my fingertips, a feeling I can never forget.
Li Mai stopped looking at him and went to the sink to start washing the dishes.
But she kept her ears open to what was happening behind her.
A rustling sound came from behind.
A moment later, Zhou Songyan said, "I'm leaving."
Li Mai did not turn around.
Until I heard the door close.
Li Mai turned around and saw that the trash was gone.
Zhou Songyan was just getting a trash bag.
She went to the living room, where the trash bags had also been taken away.
All right.
This man is quite perceptive.
They know to take their trash with them.
Chengcheng pressed his face against the kitchen doorway: "Mom, what is a granddaughter-in-law?"
Li Mai: "..."
"It's just a name."
Chengcheng pouted, dissatisfied.
His mother was clearly just giving him the runaround.
Forget it, I won't get any answers from you anyway.
Then he ran off to play somewhere else.
Li Mai gets a headache just thinking about Zhou Songyan and Old Mrs. Zhou.
Grandma Zhou was unaware that Zhou Songyan was joining in the commotion.
...
Zhou Songyan drove his car into No. 58 Chunfeng Road and saw Guan Qing standing at his door with two bags of vegetables next to her.
He stopped the car, rolled down the window, but didn't get out.
In late October, the nights in Beijing were quite cool.
Guan Qing's cheeks turned purple from the cold.
Zhou Songyan frowned and said, "Get in the car."
Guan Qing rubbed her hands together, picked up two bags of vegetables, and went to open the passenger door, but couldn't open it.
Zhou Songyan said calmly, "Sit in the back."
Guan Qing's eyes darkened as she opened the car door and sat in the back seat.
I noticed a bag of fresh flower cakes on the back seat.
"Oh dear, I forgot to buy flower cakes when I went to Nancheng last time, what a pity."
Zhou Songyan glanced at it.
That was given to Li Mai by Ji Wangyu; he left it at the back and forgot about it.
He originally intended to throw it away, but Li Mai doesn't like wasting food, and he hasn't figured out what to do with it yet.
In any case, we can't give Li Mai the things Ji Wangyu gave us.
He drove the car into the villa, parked it, and casually said, "Take it if you like."
Guan Qing's eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on her face.
"Then I won't be polite."
Zhou Songyan did not get out of the car; he was holding his phone and texting someone, no one knew.
Guan Qing pursed her lips and tentatively asked, "Songyan, you said on the phone that you have a girlfriend. You were lying to me, weren't you? I've never heard you mention it before."
Zhou Songyan's eyes did not leave his phone.
Why would I lie to you? It's just that I haven't caught up yet.
Guan Qing: "..."
She gasped.
Is Zhou Songyan pursuing someone?
He's a princeling in Beijing's elite circles!
Countless heiresses, socialites, celebrities, and models wanted to fawn over him.
If he had that intention, many people would have flocked to him without him even having to beckon.
Who needs him to pursue them?
Who's so ungrateful?
She was always very careful when she liked Zhou Songyan, afraid that she might do something wrong and offend him.
Guan Qing was furious and jealous; her anger was about to boil over.
She wouldn't give up.
"Are you kidding me? How could you possibly pursue someone?"
Zhou Songyan rolled down the car window; the perfume scent on Guan Qing made him uncomfortable.
He casually remarked, "I'm just an ordinary person. Of course I'll act if I meet someone I like. Do you expect me to wait for them to come to me? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
Guan Qing: "But you are the only son of the Zhou family, and everyone calls you the Crown Prince. Why would someone like you need to chase after someone? You should be the one being chased."
Zhou Songyan: "That's right, I'm no different from money, so why won't she agree to be with me?"
Guan Qing: "..."
She felt a lump in her throat.
She gritted her teeth and asked, "May I ask what kind of person she is?"
Zhou Songyan paused as he typed, Li Mai's face appearing in his mind.
"So beautiful! So infuriating!"
Guan Qing: "..."
Zhou Songyan never spoke in such a doting tone.
When he talked about his girlfriend, his face showed satisfaction and infatuation, his tone was doting, and there was a hint of helplessness.
Zhou Songyan is really pursuing someone.
Before Zhou Songyan returned, Guan Qing deceived herself and did not believe that Zhou Songyan had a girlfriend.
Now, she's certain that Zhou Songyan has really fallen for someone else.
She had never seen such a rich array of expressions on Zhou Songyan's face.
The only saving grace is that Zhou Songyan hasn't caught up with her yet, which means he and that girl aren't together.
So she still has a chance.
No, even if Zhou Songyan has a girlfriend, she won't give up.
She's worked so hard for so long, how can she give up so easily?
She has to marry into the Zhou family!
Zhou Songyan put away his phone and opened the car door: "I called a car for you. We're here. Get out."
Guan Qing bit her lip and didn't move, looking at him with a wronged expression: "I've waited for you for so long, it's so cold outside, won't you let me come in and sit down?"
Zhou Songyan glanced at her coldly: "It's too late, not appropriate."
Guan Qing: "We're friends, it's okay for us to come in and sit for a bit. Your girlfriend shouldn't be that unreasonable, no, she's not your girlfriend yet."
After Guan Qing finished speaking, she could clearly feel Zhou Songyan's aura drop.
She looked at him with a hint of fear: "Songyan..."
Zhou Songyan said, "Guan Qing, regardless of whether she is my girlfriend now or not, I will give her the rights of a girlfriend."
"Now I'm the one chasing after her, and I won't do anything that might cause her to misunderstand."
"Don't come here again."
Guan Qing's eyes were red, and tears fell down her cheeks.
He silently got out of the car and walked towards the door.
Sure enough, a car was parked at the entrance, and the driver opened the door for her.
She bit her lip and sat down.
Zhou Songyan brought over two bags of vegetables and flower cakes and handed them to the driver.
Without looking at Guan Qing, he turned and went into the villa.
Guan Qing was both angry and aggrieved.
When Zhou Songyan saw her crying, he didn't say a word of concern for her.
...
Li Mai lay in bed and then remembered that Ji Wangyu had confessed his feelings to her during the day.
She had originally been thinking about resigning on the way back, but Zhou Songyan's interference made her forget about it.
I think about it now.
I'm so annoyed.
After thinking for a moment, she called You Huan.
You Huan lay on the sofa, gnawing on a duck neck while watching a TV series.
I heard the phone ring.
I took off my disposable gloves and threw them in the trash can, then picked up my phone.
Teasingly: "Missed me?"
Li Mai said dejectedly, "Senior, I might be losing my job."
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, You Huan stopped watching TV altogether.
"What's going on? Is the Ji family going to fire you?"
Li Mai sighed: "No."
"What did Zhou Songyan force you to do?"
"No."
Zhou Songyan asked her to resign and go to Rongzheng last time, but he only said it once and did not force her.
You Huan was puzzled.
Li Mai: "Well, my boss confessed his feelings to me today and wants me to be with him."
