C35 (1/2)

Zhou Xuanqing only reacted when his companions' hands began to feel heavier. She tried to hide it from him. This time, he was concealing the fact that his ears were ringing. This caused Hao Qingyu's own unease to turn into suspicion.

The coldness in his eyes was like the cold, and the impatience deep inside his heart was being dug out. He extended his hand and pinched Zhou Xuanqing's chin. Remember, you are my mistress. ”Don't think about anything else.”

Zhou Xueqing's heart had dropped to the bottom of the icehouse. She no longer held any hope. Ye Zichen looked at the man, who had a completely different expression from before. He couldn't help but grumble about the other party's change and his actions, which were sometimes gentle and sometimes cold.

She pursed her lips and laughed at herself, ”How could I have any other thoughts? I know I'm just a mistress. ”

These words that seemed to be filled with self-pity and even resignation seemed to have hollowed out his heart. He suddenly wanted to give her everything she wanted, the best thing in the world, as long as she could be happy. Once such a thought appeared in Hao Qingyu's mind, it was immediately stopped.

He told himself not to. Whether it was because of the Hao family or because of this heartless woman. He couldn't be soft-hearted, and he couldn't harm her …

Many things couldn't be done as they pleased, even if it was an expert in the management of expressions. The heartache and tenderness deep within those eyes, the gentleness of his movements and the gentle tone of his voice were all far removed from his emotions.

Especially because of Zhou Xuanqing's appearance, his heart was already in extreme pain.

”What's wrong? Do you still want to go around? ”

Only, Zhou Xueqing, who had his own thoughts and thoughts, did not notice his strange behavior. He didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing for Hao Qingyu.

Only when she heard the sound did she come to her senses. She remembered that she still had not finished her paperwork, as well as Madame Zhou's precarious situation. He didn't want to waste any more time. ”I might as well put on a tired look and shake my head.” ”No, I'm a little tired, let's go back first.”

Hao Qingyu nodded when he remembered that his expression wasn't looking too good today. When they were about to leave, they saw a necklace. The style on it was exactly the same as what Zhou Xuanqing had liked in America.

Hao Qing Yu looked at Zhou Xuan Qing, who was standing beside him and not looking at the accessory. He seemed to be deep in thought. Feeling the gaze, Zhou Xuan Qing turned around to look at the other party, indicating that something was wrong.

Ignoring her question, he pulled her by the hand and walked straight into the store. The shop assistant went up to the two and greeted them warmly. The man pointed directly at the diamond necklace with the sapphire on it.

Zhou Xuanqing stared in shock at the necklace in the mirror before him. She suddenly thought of him from before. Although they did not have such expensive necklaces, these were merely verbal imaginations. It was much better than his current life.

”This... You don't need to give me anything. ”

He handed over the card and directly paid the bill, completely ignoring her words. This kind of domineering attitude was similar to the him when they were in love. Pulling her into the car, Zhou Xuanqing no longer refused to have the necklace given to him.

Hao Qingyu's car was driven back to the villa by the driver. He then started to drive Zhou Xuanqing's car. Zhou Xuanqing sat in the front passenger seat, watching the lights go on and on. His mind was preoccupied with the case from before. After she decided to go back, she would complete the plan and go to the United States tomorrow to get the list.

The person sitting next to her was extremely annoyed due to the pressure she was feeling at home. She was being asked by her father to accompany Ji Yun tomorrow. The other party was clearly very excited, but to Hao Qingyu, this task was even more troublesome than socializing. However, he could only deal with it now.

He looked over at Zhou Xuanqing, who was sitting next to him, and felt much warmer inside. Right now, the most important thing was to protect her at home. If Ji Yun didn't already know her, he wouldn't have done this. Thinking of this, Hao Qingyu felt very annoyed.

The two of them, each with their own thoughts, seemed to have gotten by much faster as time passed. They had already arrived at the villa on the road they were on. Hao Qingyu went to his room. Zhou Xuanqing had an excuse to deal with Zhou Wenqing's case, so Hao Qingyu, who was familiar with the current situation, didn't think too deeply about it.

Zhou Xuanqing arrived at the study room and contacted the person Qiao Xuangran had given him. She looked particularly charming in front of the computer, asking for all the data she could find to be sent to her email. When she felt pain in her back, she finally finished everything. An Xin returned to her room and fell asleep.

The next morning, it wasn't just the alarm clock that woke Zhou Xuanqing up. It was also the person she had been thinking about, Lady Zhou. When she went downstairs, Hao Qingyu was already nowhere to be seen, so she didn't pay any attention to him. He just treated it as him going to the company. After all, to some extent, Hao Qingyu was a workaholic.

It was only when she drove to the company that she learned of a piece of news that she had mixed feelings about. Hao Qingyu went out with Ji Yun, not because he was working. A pained smile appeared on her face. Zhou Xuanqing had attributed his current emotions to the fact that she wasn't in the third year before. Now, she was no different than a third.

She shook her head, no longer thinking about anything else. Ji Yun's departure was also a good thing. At the very least, it bought her some time. After checking the computer's contents, he dialed the number that he had been in constant contact with recently.

The two of them had agreed to meet at the airport, and Zhou Xuanqing began to think about how he could not let Ji Yun pester him. He recalled the scene he heard from the conference room yesterday. After some thought, she dialed a director's number.
