"It's enough that I like you. You're not going to live your life with someone else. Besides, I really like you. If my mom dares not to like you, I'll tell her I want to commit suicide."
"No," Shen Zhuyu covered his mouth, "Don't say unlucky words, and don't hurt Mom's feelings. You don't know how envious I am of you having a mother. I don't have a mother who loves me, but I hope all mothers are happy. Don't hurt her, talk to her nicely."
Li Zhou was just joking. After what happened with Sun Xiaoya, his mother wouldn't have any requirements for his choice of partner. Besides, Shen Zhuyu is very good, really good. Li Zhou was sure his mother would like Shen Zhuyu.
Li Zhou held Shen Zhuyu in his arms, and his body reacted again. Shen Zhuyu looked away and said, "I'm a little tired. It's my first time."
"I'm not tired."
"Nonsense! You're so young, I'm an old man!"
"I'm the one doing all the moving, why are you tired?" Li Zhou protested, but stopped touching her, wanting her to rest.
Shen Zhuyu breathed a sigh of relief. This kid was like a wolf cub, and sometimes like a big wolfhound—loyal and enthusiastic. Shen Zhuyu had never met a guy like Li Zhou before. He was always straightforward, saying whatever came to mind, never hiding his desires, which left Shen Zhuyu with no way to escape.
Shen Zhuyu had never been loved in her childhood. Suddenly, someone loved her wholeheartedly. She felt greedy from the bottom of her heart and wanted to cherish it. She even felt that it was a good thing that someone was waiting for her every time she opened the door.
The next morning, Shen Zhuyu looked at her rosy cheeks in the mirror and couldn't help but smile. Doing that really was good for her skin; her skin seemed even more rosy and tender.
Li Zhou hugged her from behind; he wasn't wearing any clothes and looked somewhat sensual.
He was very tall, and Shen Zhuyu looked very petite in his arms. The two people in the mirror had a clear difference in size, and Shen Zhuyu felt very safe.
"Li Zhou, I'm going to work. You won't be bored, will you?"
"Yes, can't you stay and keep me company?"
"Sorry, the company is a bit busy."
"It's okay, I can stay at home. When you come back at night, you'll see the lights on, and I'll have dinner ready for you."
When Shen Zhuyu got off work that evening, she parked her car downstairs. For some reason, she remembered what Li Zhou had said. She looked up and saw the lights on the tenth floor, casting a dim, warm glow that looked very homey.
It feels good to have someone waiting for her at home.
Shen Zhuyu was orphaned at a young age and lived with her grandfather. After her grandfather passed away, she struggled to survive and encountered many cold shoulders. However, God was kind to her. First, she met Chu Yu and Shu Lan and found friendship. Then, she received care from elders like Shu Hui, Shen Jun, and Deng Fangping and found family affection.
In her middle age, Shen Zhuyu thought she would live alone, but unexpectedly she found Li Zhou, who was drunk, and encountered love.
She wasn't sure if this love would last, but for now, she was content, and that was enough.
Shen Zhuyu inexplicably looked forward to the moment the door opened, the aroma of food wafting from the house, Li Zhou cooking in the kitchen, peeking out to give her a hug, the two sitting at the dining table eating, washing up and then going to bed to be affectionate.
Shen Zhuyu curled her lips; this kind of life didn't seem so bad.
Li Zhou is a perfect boyfriend. He provides emotional support, does housework and cooks, and even handles work when Shen Zhuyu isn't around. I heard he's already secured funding from Gaoyang Capital and, with his silver tongue, turned 50 million into 60 million.
Li Zhou is successful in his career and happy in love. He is young, healthy, and energetic. Every night he just wants to torment Shen Zhuyu. He always seems unsatisfied. Shen Zhuyu has no choice but to take Liuwei Dihuang Pills every day, for fear that she will be too tired to keep up and lose face in front of her boyfriend.
Li Zhou is doing well, but his mother doesn't know he's back. She couldn't get through to him on his overseas phone for a long time and was terrified, thinking something had happened to him.
She had already applied for a visa and wanted to go abroad to see Li Zhou as soon as possible. Just then, she received a call from Li Zhou.
Li Zhou's mother burst into tears, "You brat, I thought something was wrong with you. I even got your visa ready and was planning to go abroad with your father to see you. And now you're acting like you're going to die over a woman? Is it really worth it? You're our only child. If anything happens to you, how can your parents live?"
Li Zhou apologized, "I'm sorry. I went to see Sun Xiaoya before, but I felt upset and didn't want to contact my family, so I isolated myself for a while. Mom, I'm really sorry for making you worry."
Li Zhou's mother was stunned. For so many years, Li Zhou had lived a carefree and self-centered life, and this was the first time he had said such things to his family.
My son has really grown up.
However, it was precisely because Li Zhou had never said such things before that his mother was even more worried, feeling that Li Zhou was making his final arrangements and definitely wanted to commit suicide.
Li Zhou's mother almost cried in fright. "Son, don't scare me. You've suddenly become so sensible, it really frightens me!"
When Li Zhou's father heard what Li Zhou's mother said, his legs went weak. "What! My son is going to do something stupid? Son, don't do anything stupid. She's just a woman. There are plenty of good women in the world. What is Sun Xiaoya? Is she worth dying for? You don't know that the man Sun Xiaoya found is from the countryside and has a bunch of older sisters. Sun Xiaoya's life won't be easy."
Li Zhou was both amused and exasperated, realizing that his parents had misunderstood.
"Mom and Dad, I won't kill myself. I'm doing quite well lately. My company even secured 60 million in funding. Oh, and I have a girlfriend now."
Li Zhou's parents exchanged a glance, both somewhat incredulous.
