Chapter 59 Made Him Cry
He didn't care if he was a backup, a substitute, or the second choice, as long as it was her it didn't matter.
He was willing to do it, like a believer who had never had any faith, devoutly willing.
I wish to be impressed by it and pray for it.
The night was very quiet and the wind suddenly stopped, leaving only two heartbeats close to each other and eyes looking at each other closely.
Suddenly, there was a car horn in the distance, deafening.
The sound pierced his ears. Zhu Wendong could only see his thin lips opening and closing, but could not hear his voice. He was about to ask him what he had just said.
The man in front of her suddenly buried his head in the crook of her neck.
The scent of cedar completely enveloped her, and this time the wind could not blow it away or away.
The moonlight stretched the two shadows very long, and from a distance they looked like they were hugging each other tightly.
The soft and fluffy hair made her feel a little itchy. Zhu Wendong wanted to avoid it, but the force on the back of her neck didn't allow her to retreat even a little.
The huge power disparity between men and women is clearly highlighted at this moment.
Zhu Wendong couldn't break free, so he simply gave up. His eyes had nowhere to go, so they fell on his hair. His warm breath sprayed on his neck, gently and slowly.
Suddenly, I felt a sense of wetness, like tears, but I wasn't sure.
Zhu Wendong was stunned and called his name tentatively: "Qi Yanxue?"
In her memory, Qi Yanxue never liked to cry, but when they were in love, he often cried in front of her. He cried when she was angry, and he cried when she wanted to quarrel.
In short, he would cry whenever there was a conflict, without any of his usual cold and distant look. After crying, he would turn his back on people and refuse to acknowledge them.
But she always falls for this trick. After all, men's tears are women's stimulants.
So Qi Yanxue's tears are Zhu Wendong's soothing agent.
Hearing the voice, Qi Yanxue slowly raised his head and looked at her. His eyes were narrow, sharp and aggressive, but filled with tears, and there was a hint of bewitching meaning in them.
The word "male fairy" appeared in Zhu Wendong's mind again.
He released his hand on the back of her neck and distanced himself from her, as if he was performing a trick of refusing to accept her affection alone.
Zhu Wendong frowned calmly, his voice softening without him even noticing, and he asked softly, "Why are you crying?"
"Oh, are you crying?" Qi Yanxue turned her head nonchalantly. When she looked back, the tears in her eyes had completely dried up, leaving only a long tear stain at the end of her eye. "Who's crying?"
Zhu Wendong quietly exposed: "You."
Qi Yanxue raised an eyebrow slightly and said calmly with an expressionless face: "That may be because you, a foolish emperor, didn't do your job well and made me, a seductive concubine, cry."
“…”
How could he still remember a metaphor that was just mentioned casually?
Zhu Wendong pursed his lips, not wanting to fall into his trap, and said bluntly: "I didn't provoke you."
"Oh, you've turned your back on me." Qi Yanxue lowered his eyes, his voice flat.
It's broken, and I fell into his pit.
Zhu Wendong suddenly remembered that she had been away from the private room for a while. She took a step back and said to him, "I'm leaving first."
Just as she was about to run, someone grabbed her wrist and she couldn't move. She could only stop there and looked back in confusion.
Qi Yanxue's voice was low and gentle, "Do you really want to form a marriage alliance?"
There were still some tear stains on his eyelashes, blinking like twinkling stars, making people want to touch them unconsciously.
Zhu Wendong had no composure at all and subconsciously blurted out the truth: "No."
As soon as he finished speaking, the force on his wrist loosened. Qi Yanxue withdrew his hand, raised his chin towards her, and said concisely: "Then go."
Zhu Wendong really left at this moment, and before leaving, he frowned and looked at his tearful eyes for a second.
Qi Yanxue stared at the figure that gradually disappeared from his sight, the corners of his lips slightly raised, a laugh came out of his chest, and the corners of his eyes were also a little tinged, like a fox that had successfully misled people.
After all these years, she still fell for his trick as always.
Whenever he cries, he will be upset.
It's so easy to cheat.
I wish Wendong a long and healthy future.

When Zhu Wendong returned to the private room again, the dinner was almost over. As soon as she sat down, Zhu Jianyi came over.
"You took so long to go to the bathroom?"
For some reason, Zhu Wendong felt a pang of innocence, and he spoke in a serious tone, "There are too many people queuing in the restroom."
Zhu Jianyi believed it: "Oh, let's get down to business. Glad you're back."
After getting away with it, Zhu Wendong focused his attention on the dinner.
As the dinner was coming to an end, everyone in the private room fell silent tacitly.
The atmosphere of negotiation spread across the dining table, and the original leisurely and relaxed atmosphere was instantly dissipated.
Mrs. Zhou said softly, "Let's talk business. Everyone should know about the two children. What do you think?"
Wen Lu then spoke up: "Chairman Zhou, Madam Zhou, actually, the main reason why our Zhu family came here today is for you——"
The next second, Zhu Shouwen interrupted her again, holding her slender wrist. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by another clear and soft voice.
"Uncle, aunt, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I won't agree to this marriage."
The crystal pendant hung dazzlingly in the middle. Zhu Wendong stood with his back straight, his almond-shaped eyes were resolute and cold, his long straight black hair was tied into a low bun and hung loosely behind his head, his whole body exuding a cold and transparent temperament.
Her voice was not loud but loud enough to reach everyone's ears.
The smile on Mrs. Zhou's face remained unchanged, but her eyes moved back and forth between the Zhu family members, as if asking, or probing.
Then he turned his attention to his son.
Zhou Si'an sat calmly, and when he heard these words, he just blinked lightly, and his breathing stopped uncontrollably for a second.
Receiving his mother's comforting look, he shook his head as if nothing had happened.
Since her son had no objection, Mrs. Zhou naturally had no objection either. She said calmly, "The Zhou family is not a place that forces people to do things against their will. Since you don't agree, then let this marriage go. It's just a pity. After all, I still like you very much."
She couldn't ask for more to have such a beautiful and well-behaved daughter-in-law.
Zhu Shouwen wanted to speak up to save the situation, but was stopped by Wen Lu. After receiving her cold glance, he became deflated and sat down again.
Zhu Wendong didn't notice the commotion. He didn't expect Madam Zhou to be so easy to talk to. He smiled softly and said, "If you need anything in the future, you can always contact me."
Mrs. Zhou walked up to her affectionately and held her arm, chatting with her for a long time. She was almost dragging Zhu Wendong to worship her ancestors on the spot and acknowledge her as her goddaughter.
After the dinner, although the two families did not get married, their relationship remained harmonious on the surface.
After they both said goodbye, they got into the Zhou family’s car.
Mrs. Zhou looked at her eldest son, who closed his eyes and rested as soon as he got in the car, and asked tentatively, "Are you really okay?"
Zhou Si'an said calmly, "Mom, I'm not a child anymore. I won't be devastated by such a thing."
Mrs. Zhou pouted: "I'm just worried that you'll be upset by yourself."
Zhou Si'an closed his eyes again and pursed his lips into a straight line.
It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel uncomfortable, but since she didn't want to, he wouldn't force her.
You don't have to get what you like.
He would be content to be able to get to know each other among trillions of people in a limited time.
That memory will eventually become his obsession alone and has nothing to do with others.

At the Zhu family's side, Wen Lu got into the car with a cold face and said nothing.
Zhu Shouwen fell behind her and was about to catch up when he was stopped by Zhu Wendong.
"I have something to tell you."
Zhu Shouwen glanced at the dark car window, and finally followed Zhu Wendong a little further away. Knowing why she did that, he spoke first.
"This evening—"
Zhu Wendong was too lazy to listen to his hypocritical words and interrupted him directly: "I don't care what your intentions are for tonight, but you must give my mother an explanation."
Wen Lu opened her mouth twice, but was interrupted both times. Even a fool could guess the meaning, not to mention that her mother was sensitive.
"You don't have to tell me, I know." Zhu Shouwen continued, "It's just that you were wrong tonight. Who will make up for the lost profits of the Zhu family?"
He used her marriage as a benefit, but in the end it was all her fault.
It's really shameless to a certain extent.
Zhu Wendong glanced at him coldly, his eyes cold and expressionless, "If you don't even have the courage to sacrifice this little bit of profit, you'd better step down as chairman as soon as possible."
Without waiting for Zhu Shouwen to answer, she turned and walked towards the Phantom in the distance.
As soon as I sat down in the driver's seat, I suddenly caught a glimpse of the figure in the passenger seat out of the corner of my eye.
Zhu Wendong was stunned for a while, then called his name slowly and in disbelief.
"Qi Yanxue?"
