Chapter 34 Who are you to me?
Zhou Pingchuan used considerable force, and Xia Mian's back slammed against the wall with a loud "thud," leaving him completely disoriented.
His mind went blank for a while before he finally realized what was happening: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Pingchuan's voice was deeper than before as he repeated, "Xia Mian, take off your necklace."
As soon as he came in, he started to attack him and even made him take off his necklace. Xia Mian almost thought that Zhou Pingchuan was going to force himself on her.
But their bodies were pressed together, and Xia Mian, being a man, could sense that Zhou Pingchuan hadn't changed at all.
Why make him take off the necklace?
After drinking, one's thinking inevitably becomes sluggish. Xia Mian racked her brains, but couldn't come up with anything.
Zhou Pingchuan's patience had reached its limit.
He put his hand behind Xia Mian's neck, grabbed one end of the tassel, and yanked it off hard.
Xia Mian's neck was already slender, with fair and tender skin, making the pain even more intense. The pain in his back hadn't subsided, and now his neck was burning from being strangled. He had never suffered like this before, and immediately protested: "Let go, let me go... what do you mean?"
"You're not allowed to dress like that anymore."
...Huh? Xia Mian finally understood.
It turned out that Zhou Pingchuan disliked his frivolous attire.
Zhou Pingchuan actually complained that he was dressed sluttyly!
Even if they were to get married, what right would Zhou Pingchuan have to criticize his clothing?
That scumbag is bound to cheat on Xia Mingzhao. He should mind his own business and his mistress's; why should he care about anything else?!
Thinking about their future life together, Xia Mian felt both angry and aggrieved. Previously, out of fear of the plot, he had mostly respected and obeyed Zhou Pingchuan, never laying a hand on him.
But fueled by alcohol, he couldn't take it anymore and mustered all his strength to break free from his opponent.
Despite his best efforts, Zhou Pingchuan remained completely still!
Xia Mian felt even more aggrieved.
"Zhou Pingchuan!" he called the other party by his full name. "I didn't expose myself or act rudely, so what did I do wrong? It was that old geezer who had impure thoughts and came to harass me. Why should I pay for his mistakes!"
"Besides, who are you to me? You only handed over the offer letter, you're not engaged to me, what right do you have to restrict me?"
The moonlight was dim, and they couldn't see each other's expressions. Zhou Pingchuan remained silent; if he weren't still breathing, Xia Mian would have suspected he had already collapsed.
As if punching cotton, Xia Mian had gotten used to it and didn't want to cause herself any more trouble. She used all her strength to pry the other person's arm open.
Zhou Pingchuan probably didn't intend to stop him anymore, and was pulled back by him, causing him to stumble. The antler staff fell to the ground with a dull thud.
Xia Mian was completely stunned.
Zhou Pingchuan was usually too domineering, so much so that Xia Mian often forgot that he was actually... disabled.
Damn it... Xia Mian really wanted to slap herself.
Why are you, an able-bodied person, arguing with a disabled person?
He had originally intended to return to the capital, but now he stood there, unsure whether to leave or stay. His eyes and the tip of his nose were red from the excitement he had just experienced.
"You sleep in the inner room." After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Pingchuan finally came back to life.
"I don't want to live with you!" Xia Mian's words were still stubborn, but her tone had softened.
After saying that, he pushed open the door and went out. He saw two bodyguards standing on either side of the door.
Based on experience, there are definitely bodyguards hidden nearby.
He tried to take a step forward, but the bodyguard immediately blocked his way, preventing him from moving forward even an inch.
"...You're something else." Xia Mian snorted, brushed past Zhou Pingchuan's shoulder, and headed straight for the inner room of the suite.
***
After a night of nightmares, Xia Mian woke up feeling completely disoriented. He sat on the bed for a long time, then checked the time; it was just past 10:30 in the morning.
In novels, domineering CEOs get up earlier than the rooster. At this time, Zhou Pingchuan has probably already returned to the capital.
What about his necklace?
The original owner didn't like buying jewelry. This choker was something he had just bought at the mall. It had a unique design, like a wild rose growing against the wind, giving off a sense of unrestrained freedom, which he liked very much.
Moreover, the pigeon blood red gemstone on it is very valuable. Given his current financial situation, it is the only piece of jewelry he can wear to formal occasions, and he cherishes it quite a bit.
Xia Mian ran out barefoot, wanting to find her precious choker first.
As soon as they entered the living room, they came to an abrupt stop.
—The domineering CEO Zhou Pingchuan, who gets up earlier than the rooster, didn't leave!
He was wearing glasses and sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a thick document in his hand, probably an evaluation report or financial statement.
Because he wore glasses, he wasn't as aggressive as usual, and he had a more scholarly air about him, like a young university professor.
His words were also quite educational: "Go back and wash up."
aestivation:"......"
Xia Mian: "No."
During his first etiquette class, the teacher solemnly told him that if he couldn't dress up, he should at least make sure he appeared clean in front of others.
He knew that not washing up was disrespectful to Zhou Pingchuan, but he just didn't want to.
After all, Zhou Pingchuan wasn't exactly polite to him yesterday, was he?
Xia Mian strolled around the living room barefoot, deliberately trying to annoy Zhou Pingchuan, but of course, her main purpose was to find something.
Strangely, I didn't see any pigeon blood red.
His necklace was pulled down here yesterday, so where could it have fallen to?
"Did you see my necklace? The rose one from yesterday."
Zhou Pingchuan didn't even look up: "Throw it away."
"...Throw it away?" Xia Mian quickly ran to the trash can, but there was nothing inside. "Which trash can? I can't find it."
"Outside."
Xia Mian was so angry she almost laughed.
“The famous Zhou family patriarch actually likes to throw other people’s things around,” Xia Mian sat down on the sofa opposite him. “Third Master, it’s not that I’m stingy, but that pigeon blood ruby is very expensive. If we call the police, it would be enough to file many cases.”
Zhou Pingchuan finally put down the documents, lifted his eyelids, and glanced at him.
Then I picked up my phone.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Mian received a message that five million had been deposited into her bank account.
Okay, I won't report it.
That's right, he's now the little Karami who would succumb to five million.
He even obediently went back to wash up: "Excuse me for a few minutes."
With that, he swaggered back to his room.
Zhou Pingchuan watched his retreating figure.
The hand on his pants pocket twitched involuntarily.
