Jiang Zhouzhou originally intended to sign the contract and then go back, but Zhou Xian had rarely put her under his nose, and didn't want to let her leave so soon.
He shifted his position, naturally leaning against Jiang Zhouzhou's shoulder, and said gently, "How about we leave later?"
In one respect, this man is adept at using coquetry to seek benefits for himself.
Jiang Zhouzhou lowered her eyes, and following her angle, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her skin looked more haggard than before. Even after a night's rest, the bloodshot eyes were still there, and there were faint dark circles under her eyes...
"Zhou Xian, are you in trouble?"
"If... there's anything I can do to help you, please let me know!"
She understands best the feeling of having to shoulder everything alone.
She might not be able to help much, but she wanted to share some of the burden with him...
Zhou Xian's tightly pursed lips curved into a smile as he said in a casual tone, "The only thing you can do to help me is to like me a little more."
Jiang Zhouzhou: "...I'm serious."
Zhou Xian: "I'm serious too."
He didn't want her to hear about those dirty family matters. He just needed some more time, and he would handle everything.
The Zhou family members are all heartless, and Zhou Xian doesn't understand how he... became a romantic!
While the old man was still alive, he secretly had a paternity test done.
Yes, they are definitely biological children!
"Jiang Zhouzhou, you are the biggest problem I've ever encountered."
No one taught him how to love; he could only fumble around on his own, clumsily exploring and testing the waters.
Sometimes he pushed her away, and sometimes he pulled her closer.
Jiang Zhouzhou's gaze dimmed; she, too, was now caught in a difficult dilemma...
She received too little love growing up, and no one taught her how to love!
Wanting to greedily hold onto everything, yet finding oneself in a dead end with no way out.
"Zhou Xian, give me some time!"
She needs some time to readjust her mindset.
However, Zhou Xian spoke up, "No..."
He moved to a more comfortable position, resting his head on her legs, so he could see her face when he looked up.
Looking into each other's eyes.
"I can't believe that after giving you time, you started overthinking and kicked me out."
"I'm not as capable as Gu Nanfeng, nor as composed as Yin Yue, and I can't even match Lin Xiaosan's flirtatiousness..."
"Among your suitors, I must be the worst one. If you had to choose, you would definitely eliminate me first."
Jiang Zhouzhou was speechless. Looking at the usually proud and arrogant man so humble, she couldn't help but say, "You are excellent too."
Zhou Xian's dark eyes were dull and lifeless: "You don't need to comfort me, I know I'm terrible."
Jiang Zhouzhou said softly, "I'm not trying to comfort you, but you're very smart, very capable, and you're also... handsome..."
As she was praising him, Jiang Zhouzhou noticed the man's lips curling up in a secret smile and pushed his head away.
He said irritably, "He's more scheming than others, and even more shameless."
Zhou Xian sat up straight, rubbed his head, and said with great satisfaction, "Thank you for the compliment, Zhouzhou."
Jiang Zhouzhou: "..."
"Okay, it's time for me to go back!"
Jiang Zhouzhou stood up, preparing to leave the guild headquarters.
This time, Zhou Xian didn't stop him: "Okay, I'll have Xiao Cheng drive you."
Jiang Zhouzhou initially thought Xiao Cheng was Zhou Xian's driver, but after going downstairs, she realized he was the company's general manager—Cheng Zhengxun.
This Zhou Xian... he really knows how to order people around!
Cheng Zhengxun was quite happy to agree, but looking at the two of them with their clothes neatly arranged, he secretly complained to himself that Zhou Xian was a disappointment.
The person was delivered right to him, and nothing happened.
What kind of man is that!
On the way back with Jiang Zhouzhou, he started talking non-stop again: "Zhouzhou, what do you think of our guild boss?"
Jiang Zhouzhou's eyelashes trembled, and she said softly, "Very good, but hard to approach."
Hearing her say that, Cheng Zhengxun immediately became interested: "Why are you so difficult to approach?"
Jiang Zhouzhou was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I feel like he's hiding too much from me. I want to know more about him, but he's unwilling to tell me."
"Does Brother Xun know something? Can you tell me? I want to... learn more about him."
Cheng Zhengxun and Zhou Xian were both business partners and friends, so he naturally knew about the troubles Zhou Xian was facing and his bad habit of carrying everything on his own.
He didn't want to tell Jiang Zhouzhou, but Cheng Zhengxun wouldn't hide it from her.
The Zhou family has been in turmoil lately, facing both internal and external troubles. The company has been plagued with problems, and Zhou Xian and his incompetent brothers are only concerned with seizing assets but lack the ability to solve problems, resulting in outsiders taking advantage of the situation.
What was originally a minor problem has become a major, troublesome one because of their meddling.
Based on Zhou Xian's past behavior, he definitely wouldn't have taken on this mess.
but……
Cheng Zhengxun glanced at Jiang Zhouzhou.
A pretty girl can attract so many people because of her charm.
But the people who like her... are all people with complicated backgrounds.
Zhou Xian dislikes the Zhou family, but if the Zhou family were to collapse... his status would be one level lower than his other rivals in love.
Fearing that his remaining advantages were dwindling, he worked tirelessly day and night to salvage the situation.
"Zhouzhou, although I'm not in a position to say anything, there's no doubt that Zhou Xian likes you!"
Having learned everything from Cheng Zhengxun, Jiang Zhouzhou remained silent.
"I know, thank you for telling me."
After getting off the car, Jiang Zhouzhou stood outside the apartment gate, not in a hurry to go in.
I took out my phone and stared at the screen for a while.
Finally, find the other person's chat window and click into it.
[Ginger Congee: A little too much]
Zhou Xian: ???
Zhou Xian: !!!
[Zhou Xian: You dare say that to my face?]
Jiang Zhouzhou tossed her phone into her bag and stopped replying.
