C34 (1/2)

I took my hand away from Zhou Zijin's and looked at him with a forced smile.

”I think you're tired too. How about this, let's go out and eat a bit …” ”Then we can discuss where you should stay …”

With the current situation, of course we cannot let him stay in our house, what if Jiang Yu suddenly returns, how should I explain?

I got up from the couch, but he grabbed my hand.

”Xiao Ye, don't run away from me.”

His voice sounded affectionate and patient, and for a moment I didn't know how to push him away.

”I …”

If someone else was beside me at this moment, I might immediately refuse and forcefully push them away.

But now, the one beside me is no one else but Zhou Zijin.

After my husband died, he tried to help me in every way possible. He taught me a lot and made me my benefactor.

”You didn't reject it. Does that mean that I have a chance as well?”

He was clever, he knew how to take advantage of my language, and even if I didn't say anything, he saw that I was embarrassed.

”Zi Jin, you know that in my eyes, you have always been a very important friend to me.”

I emphasized the word 'friend' in the hope that he would understand my dilemma.

Because of him? ”

He did not mention Jiang Yu's name, but I knew that he meant Jiang Yu.

I didn't reply. It was true that there was a part of the reason behind Jiang Yu's relationship, but even more so, it was because I felt that the relationship between Zhou Zijin and I was a much more suitable friendship.

”Who is he?” he said, but I remained silent, for I could not answer his question.

”You just came back, let's not talk about this anymore …”

I really don't want to get entangled with Zhou Zijin on this issue anymore, because even I myself don't know the answer to this question.

Who is Jiang Yu?

I also want to know who he really is.

”Xiao Ye, so am I still too late in the end?” His hands gripped my shoulders, and there was an unspeakable sadness in his eyes.

”Zi Jin, I've always treated you as a good friend. Besides, I believe that you'll have a woman more suitable for you than me …”

I am unable to accept Zhou Zijin, even though he was by my side when I needed to rely on him the most.

But I knew in my heart that even if he didn't have a wife, I would only maintain that ambiguous relationship with him.

Rather than giving him a material identity, it would be the same as Lin Mu.

Because he was Zhou Zijin, Lin Mu's good friend.

Because of this relationship, I can't take that step.

Of course, the most important thing is that I admit that my feelings for him are not enough to support me in betraying Lin Mu.

I was in a deadlock with him when I heard the key turn in the door.

I didn't have time to push him away, and at the same time, Jiang Yu walked in and saw this scene.

He would rush over and push away Zhou Zijin who was grabbing onto my shoulder.

”Who are you!”

It's rare for him to be this angry. The last time I saw him was when I was kidnapped by Ye Lingchao.

The look in his eyes made even me, an outsider, tremble in fear.

But what was different from Jiang Yu was that Zhou Zijin took a few steps back, then quickly stood still and tidied up his collar that was messed up by Jiang Yu.
