Chapter 496 Despising Oneself
"Uncle Zhuo didn't say anything bad to me; he just entrusted you to me." Zhou Zhenxing's voice was muffled, showing no trace of the joy of winning the heart of his beloved.
It was precisely because of that entrustment that he had no room to back down.
Zhuo Lanyu tried to find signs of concealment on his face, "Then why are you suddenly so cold to me?"
Looking at her aggrieved face, Zhou Zhenxing used to only feel sorry for her, but now he wondered what kind of true face lay beneath this grievance.
And he really wanted to ask her why she hid that telegram.
But he knew even better that once certain things were said, there would be an irreparable rift between them.
His hands, hanging by his sides, were clenched into fists as he used all his strength to suppress his anger.
"You're overthinking it. How could I be indifferent to you? We haven't had time to meet these past few days, and I've been thinking about you constantly."
He practically forced those sweet words out of his throat.
Seeing that Zhuo Lanyu's expression had finally calmed down, he began to despise himself.
So he can do this disgusting kind of playing along!
The next second, Zhuo Lanyu gently hugged him.
"Brother Zhou, please don't think I'm being unreasonable. I just care about you too much."
Zhou Zhenxing's spine was taut, letting her arms wrap around his waist, while his hands hanging at his sides felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he couldn't lift them no matter what.
"How could that be? I know you have feelings for me."
He gave a perfunctory reply, trying to widen the distance between them again.
But Zhuo Lanyu was clearly immersed in a happy atmosphere and had no desire to be separated from him.
"Lan Yu, this is a conference room. If someone comes in and sees us like this, it won't look good," Zhou Zhenxing reminded her very seriously.
Zhuo Lanyu knew he was very conservative in this regard, which is why she let go of his hand.
"Brother Zhou, we have a normal romantic relationship. I don't want to keep it hidden anymore. Why don't we go public?"
The reason we didn't make it public before was because we were concerned that his recent divorce would leave a bad impression on the group leader.
But the leaders in the group already know, and he has been divorced for so long, so there is absolutely no problem with making it public.
Most importantly, now that the relationship between Su Jin and Xiao Yunfeng is known throughout the army, if they are not worried, then we have even less to worry about.
Zhuo Lanyu thought Zhou Zhenxing would readily agree, but to her surprise, he frowned and stammered.
"I don't think it's a good idea to go public now."
Zhuo Lanyu's heart sank immediately. "Not good?"
Zhou Zhenxing gave his reasons very seriously: "The large-scale exercise is about to begin. Shouldn't we focus our energy on the exercise first?"
"Brother Zhou, do you mean we should wait until after the exercise to make it public?"
This was Zhuo Lanyu's final bottom line; if he still didn't agree...
After a few seconds of silence, Zhou Zhenxing finally relented and said, "Okay."
We should try to delay as long as possible, as long as it's not now.
Zhuo Lanyu's eyes lit up. Only at this moment did she finally believe that Zhou Zhenxing's feelings for her had not changed.
"Good. Company 1 will definitely be the best company in this exercise!"
Upon hearing her affirmation, Zhou Zhenxing's tense face broke into its first smile of the night.
Let's work together!
