Chapter 495 Why Don't You Dare Look Me in the Eyes
Zhuo Lanyu ignored Liu Wengao, glancing past him and looking at Zhou Zhenxing in the conference room.
Normally, Liu Wengao would definitely have given up the doorway, but this time he remained standing there without making a move.
"Instructor, could you please move aside?"
What bothered Zhuo Lanyu even more was that Zhou Zhenxing clearly saw her coming, but did not react at all.
Liu Wengao had no choice but to step aside.
"Zhenxing, do you need me to stay?"
These words immediately made Zhuo Lanyu frown.
Zhou Zhenxing shook his head, "Your sister-in-law is still waiting for you to eat at home."
Hearing this, Liu Wengao was still a little uneasy, but he had no reason to stay there any longer.
Soon, only Zhou Zhenxing and Zhuo Lanyu remained in the conference room.
Zhuo Lanyu immediately asked, "Brother Zhou, what happened?"
Zhou Zhenxing tried his best to avoid the look she was giving him.
Because he was genuinely afraid he would lose his temper and argue with her.
"fine."
His voice was indifferent, devoid of any other emotion than coldness.
But his attitude was already a big deal for Zhuo Lanyu.
"No! You're definitely hiding something from me!"
Zhou Zhenxing forced a smile. "Really, no."
This was the first time Zhuo Lanyu had ever encountered such a distant attitude from him since they met, so naturally she couldn't accept it.
"Then why don't you dare look me in the eye?"
Faced with her questioning, Zhou Zhenxing had no choice but to raise his eyelids and meet her gaze.
"We're about to have a big exercise, and the company's training schedule is tight. I'm just a little tired."
Trying to find an excuse to get by.
Zhuo Lanyu pursed her lips, her eyes showing a hint of grievance.
"Yes. I know your company must be very busy lately, so even when I call you this past month, you haven't had time to chat with me for more than a few minutes."
In the past month, she called him three times, but he only answered twice, and each time they only chatted briefly before ending the call.
She also has to participate in the large-scale exercise, and her training tasks are equally demanding, but she can still find the time. Why can't he?
She's not stupid; this situation is definitely not normal.
Zhou Zhenxing didn't want things to be this way, but the thought of her hiding the telegram about his father's serious illness filled him with an indescribable sense of suffocation.
He didn't want to investigate why she did it, but he couldn't let it go because she prevented him from seeing his father one last time.
"I'm sorry. I've neglected you during this time. I'll definitely spend more time with you after the exercise is over."
Give him at least some time to adjust and persuade himself.
Zhuo Lanyu could see the fatigue and haggardness on his face; in the end, heartache overcame resentment and anger.
"Brother Zhou, tell me the truth, did my dad say something bad to you that day?"
Although she had asked him before, he only told her that her father had agreed to them being together.
Moreover, she later asked her father, and his exact words were that for the sake of her lifelong happiness, the family was willing to accept Zhou Zhenxing as their son-in-law.
She was overjoyed at the time, thinking that their relationship could finally go smoothly, but unexpectedly he suddenly seemed to have become a different person.
The only reason she could think of now was that his private conversation with his father that night must have hurt his pride, which was why he had been so cold to her these past few days.
