C105 (1/2)

After washing up in a hurry, I changed into a slightly more formal set of clothes.

He took his handbag and headed out of the house.

But before I could get out, Mingyu came over and handed me my company's elevator card.

”Thank you …”

I took the card and was about to leave when Mingyu came over and took my car keys.

”Sister-in-law, what happened to you recently?” ”Why do you always lose face!”

Ming Yu reprimanded him.

”Sister-in-law, aren't you getting on in age …”

With a forced smile, I took the car keys from Mingyu.

I sat in the driver's seat, not knowing where I was going.

No matter how he thought about it, he still made a call to Zhou Zijin.

”Hey, come out for a bit.”

”Alright.”

Without too many words, I made an appointment with him at the coffee shop downstairs.

I ordered a cup of coffee and sat in the most inconspicuous corner waiting for him.

After a while, he came and sat across from me.

”Xiao Ye, what's wrong?”

”Mingyu is back, did you know?”

I looked at her tentatively. In fact, I didn't expect him to give me an answer.

”Are you blaming me?”

”I didn't.”

I took a sip of my coffee.

”You've never had American coffee before, and it's always too bitter.”

”People's habits can change. Especially after suffering so much. ”So I don't want Mingyu to be like me at such a young age, bearing all the pressures that shouldn't have been on him at his age.”

I put down my coffee and looked at him blandly.

”I thought you'd be happy.”

”I hope that he can always be carefree in the United States. Domestic affairs, especially those between adults, have nothing to do with him. I don't want him to get involved.”

”Sorry, I thought you'd be happier seeing him …”

Zhou Zijin's apology stopped everything I wanted to say.

”I don't have anything left now. Mingyu is my only hope. I just want him to be fine, so …” I still need you to help me hide things from him. He's still young, I don't want him to feel any psychological pressure. ”

I was afraid that Zhou Zijin would tell Mingyu everything that had happened. If Mingyu had an impulsive temper, she would definitely find Jiang Yu to settle the score. But she was still young, how could she be a match for Jiang Yu! I don't want him to get hurt.

”Xiao Ye, originally, there was no need for such great pressure. As long as you agree …”

I interrupted Zhou Zijin: ”As long as I agree to it? Promise to be with you? Zhou Zijin, I admit that I once had a good impression of you, but good impression is not love, furthermore … I don't want my feelings to be used as a bargaining chip. ”

”I know it's mean, but it's the only way to win you over. Xiao Ye, why can't you give me a chance? ”

”Zi Jin, you should understand! The only reason I accepted your help all these years was because you were that person's friend! If you are not his friend, there will be no connection between us. ”

I know that if I didn't make things absolutely clear, Zhou Zijin would never give up on me no matter what.

I know his character.
