Depressed wife runs with the ball

Chapter 138: Happy New Year

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Yue notified everyone level by level to go off work and take a holiday. He confirmed the issue of sealing the office with the head of the administrative department, and found Uncle Miao to inform him to send Zhou Xingzhi back to the Zhou family's old house. When he returned to the president's office, Zhou Xingzhi was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the office, still holding a mobile phone in his hand.

"Xingzhi, are you done with your work?" Chu Yue looked at his expression and thought that his family must have started to put pressure on him again.

"We're done now. Aunt Tian will be on holiday until the fourth day of the New Year. Let's go buy some New Year's goods first." Zhou Xingzhi adjusted his mood and turned to face her.

Chu Yue grabbed his wrist and threw herself into his arms. "Don't pretend in front of me. I know you're under a lot of pressure. No matter who it is, I believe you will save them."

"Yueyue..." Only at this moment did Zhou Xingzhi feel her response to his love, but this response was too bland.

"Can I wait for you to come home?" Chu Yue raised her head and grabbed his suit collar with both hands.

Zhou Xingzhi raised the corners of his mouth and stroked her face with both hands. "Okay."

"Didn't we say we were going to buy New Year's goods? Let's go." Chu Yue stood on tiptoe, wanting to kiss him, but he was too tall, so she gave up.

Zhou Xingzhi bent down to kiss her, then took her out. As time went by, he became more and more nervous. Leaving her alone at home for several days would make him panic, and he thought she would too.

The shopping cart was already full, but Zhou Xingzhi had no intention of going back. He kept rubbing her palm with the hand he was holding. "Let's go home. There's so much food that we can't finish it." Chu Yue looked at the people coming and going in the supermarket, and the lively atmosphere made her noisy.

"Auntie Tian needs to rest for several days. These are not enough." As long as he doesn't go home, he can keep holding her hand and walking around here.

"Okay, it's not like you're not going back. You don't have to move the entire mall back. Just pay the bill and go back."

Chu Yue urged to go home, and Zhou Xingzhi had no choice but to push the shopping cart to pay.

"Yueyue, no matter what others say to you, you will wait for me to go home, right?" While waiting in line, he put the hand he was holding into his coat pocket.

"Mr. Zhou has told me twice, and haven't I always been by your side?" Chu Yue felt that his palms were sweaty.

Zhou Xingzhi nodded. He should believe her and believe that their feelings were enough to overcome his moral guilt.

After driving back to the villa and putting the things in the kitchen, Chu Yue wanted to see him out, but he didn't want to go out, so he took off his coat and lay on the sofa in the living room.

"Director Li committed suicide for you, so you feel bad?" Chu Yue felt that it was useless to coax him all day, and asked this with a little jealousy in her heart.

Zhou Xingzhi pulled her to sit on his lap, and felt scared at the thought that he wouldn't be able to be with her for several days.

"No, I just find this kind of entanglement annoying." He responded sullenly. Li Wanyun's entanglement disgusted him, but his sense of morality prevented him from sitting idly by.

Chu Yue only felt that his emotional cleanliness was getting worse.

"Zhou Xingzhi, I wish you a happy new year."

I put my arms around his neck and leaned into his embrace, thinking, Happy New Year to our family of three.

"Happy New Year! Wait until I get back." Zhou Xingzhi kissed her on the cheek, unwilling to let go, and moved to her lips. The warm breath, the soft figure, and the closeness of their hearts, this family had someone he didn't want to part with for even a moment.

"Well... okay, if I don't go back, Old Zhou will think I'm trying to steal his son." Chu Yue was afraid that he couldn't control himself, and when she heard his phone vibrating, she quickly pushed it away.

"Then he loses. I'll cook for you." Zhou Xingzhi put her down reluctantly, wanting to prepare the meal for her before leaving.

"The sooner you go, the sooner you come back. I'll give you a surprise when you come back." Chu Yue knew that he was delaying, so he kept him in suspense mysteriously.

Zhou Xingzhi thought for a long time and still wanted to cook for her.

"Zhou Xingzhi, I love you, morning and night." Chu Yue put a coat on him, tied a scarf around his neck, kissed him on the face, pulled him up from the sofa, and persuaded him to go out.

"Okay, lock the door and be safe." Zhou Xingzhi had no choice but to put on his shoes and go out. Before leaving, he kissed her again. He said, "Call me anytime and remember to answer the video call. Eat well."

Back at the Zhou family home, the place was bustling with activity. Zhou Kecheng and Li Wanyun's parents were old acquaintances, so there was no awkwardness in their conversation. They were all so happy, it was hard to tell their daughter was still in the hospital.

Zhou Xingzhi was absent-minded, flipping through his phone over and over. Finally, he sent a WeChat message to Chu Yue: "What did you have for dinner? Take a picture and show me."

"Xingzhi, Wanyun is a stubborn child, please bear with her." Uncle Li saw that his mind was not here at all, so he held the teacup and sat down in front of him.

"Uncle, there may be some misunderstanding between Wanyun and me." Zhou Xingzhi poured him tea and did not forget to check his mobile phone.

"It's not a misunderstanding. Wanyun has liked you for more than a day or two." The old man had heard of this future son-in-law and was very satisfied with this meeting.

Zhou Xingzhi frowned and poured the tea into the cup until it was half full.

"I know you don't like her now, but feelings can be cultivated slowly." Old Master Li talked to Zhou Kecheng about the two children. One was the daughter of a poor family, and the other was the real daughter. Zhou Kecheng could still tell the difference.

"Uncle, I have a girlfriend, and we are going to get married." Zhou Xingzhi handed the teacup to him, deliberately showing the ring on his hand, and looked him in the eye.

"It's normal for young people to break up and get back together. Wanyun's return to Qiancheng isn't entirely because you asked her to." Old man Li picked up the teacup and glanced at Zhou Kecheng who was directing the aunt to set the dishes in the restaurant.

Zhou Xingzhi instantly understood that this was a trap set by the old man. No matter how the family schemed, they couldn't escape the old man's control.

Chu Yue hurriedly prepared a bowl of wonton noodles in the kitchen, picked up her phone and took a photo of Zhou Xingzhi. Then she sent a message to Su Ying: "Happy New Year's Eve! I'm having my homemade wonton noodles tonight."

Su Ying urged: "You haven't updated your paintings in a long time. I'm losing a lot of fans here."

Over the years, she had grown accustomed to celebrating Spring Festival alone, but this year she seemed even lonelier than before. Unbeknownst to her, she had become accustomed to Zhou Xingzhi's 24-hour company.

After dinner, Zhou Xingzhi and Zhou Kecheng talked about work in the study, while Li Wanyun's parents went to the hospital to bring food to their daughter.

"Dad, what conditions did you negotiate with Li Wanyun?"

No matter what the conditions, he would not give in to the marriage.

"When I asked your brother to marry Xiaoxiao, he was the same as you, so, the result is the same." Zhou Kecheng stood in front of the tea table, looking at the calligraphy given by Chu Yue. She was a good girl, what a pity.

"Dad, Xinghui doesn't need to rely on marriage to maintain its dignity. You accepted Yueyue at the beginning!" Zhou Xingzhi felt inexplicably panicked this time.

Zhou Kecheng sat down to make tea, his son's favorite, white tea with tangerine peel. "Xingzhi, the reason I gave the group to you is because you're very similar to me when I was young. So how could I not understand that you like Chu Yue? Just like I like your mother. I heard that her mother is still in prison?"

"I can leave the matters of the group to you. As for your brother and Wanyun, I believe you know how to choose. Laurie is not like the outside world. It's hard to say what might happen in the middle of the night."

"Zhou Kecheng!" Zhou Xingzhi was furious. How could he forget that his father was far more sinister than he was? Huang Yunfu had surrendered, yet Zhou Jihuai was still safe and sound. He should have understood that Zhou Kecheng's ability was no less than before.

"I'm doing this for your own good. It not only cuts off your weakness, but also preserves the Zhou family's reputation. You really should learn this."

"Don't forget to go to the hospital more often. I'll ask your mother to make a pot of soup every day, and you can bring it with her." The old man felt that his son was a little immature, and people's hearts change rapidly.

Zhou Xingzhi threw the cup of hot tea on the tea table against the wall. The Ru kiln teacup hit the wall and fell to the ground, splashing hot water all over the floor, white smoke rising, and making bursts of crisp sounds.

Li Li heard the noise on the first floor and ran up to check. "It's New Year's Day, what's the noise?"

"Mom, I'm going back. I won't stay at home tonight." Zhou Xingzhi was angry and was about to leave without looking back.

"You dare!" the old man roared, "If you dare to step out of this house today, you will never come back!"

Zhou Xingzhi stopped at the door of the study, hesitated for a moment, turned around and went back to the room.
