It's hard to quit, but it's the perfect marriage!

Chapter 44 "Excuse my bluntness, but she still harbors feelings for Su Daiqing."

"Hmm, is there anything I can do?" Zhu Xi pushed the window open a little, and a warm breeze blew in.

She couldn't keep accepting Zhou Yinghuai's one-sided efforts and kindness so readily; she decided to give Zhou Yinghuai something in return.

The words I spoke before we got our marriage certificate still echoed in my ears.

They deal with each other and take advantage of each other.

She stated frankly and quite boldly, "I would not hesitate to go through fire and water."

Seeing her fearless attitude, Zhou Yinghuai laughed out loud, a rare occurrence for him.

He even had the idea of ​​teasing her.

Their eyes met, one smiling and the other tense, and Zhou Yinghuai simply looked at her without uttering a word.

Zhu Xi leaned against the windowsill, her toes tapping the ground, afraid he would misunderstand that she was making things up. "Zhou Yinghuai, I'm being serious, I'm not just being polite."

Zhou Yinghuai nodded, feeling a little annoyed that she had deliberately distanced herself from him tonight.

Zhu Xi seems to be just that kind of person: lively, follows her heart in dealing with people, yet is very sensitive in her emotions.

Zhou Yinghuai thought of that secluded afternoon in the cave again.

Thinking of that tranquil pool, it was as clear and bright as Zhu Xi's eyes.

He smiled at her. "I need your help. I want you to attend a wedding with me."

"wedding?"

"Yes, I hope you'll take the ring off your neck and wear it on your finger that day."

As Zhou Yinghuai spoke, he patted the tabletop she had just wiped.

Zhu Xi obediently moved over, her fingertips holding the diamond, and sat down properly. "Whose wedding is this?"

"A friend I've known for a long time," he explained earnestly, without any perfunctory tone. "I didn't originally intend to take up your rest time, but..."

Zhu Xi raised her hand; Zhou Yinghuai had her work schedule.

It wasn't her who gave it to her; he arranged the job for her.

She knew that when he said that, that day would definitely be her day off.

"I'll go."

"Thank you, I'll pick you up that day."

"No need." Zhu Xi took a swig of lime juice. "Come pick me up from home. I'll find someone to cover my night shift."

Zhou Yinghuai didn't know who she was looking for, but it was most likely Gao Yanei.

"After the wedding, we can go to that cave to escape the world for half a day."

"You still have insomnia?"

Zhou Yinghuai didn't lie, "No."

"Then why bother going?" She rested her chin on her hand and tapped the space bar on the keyboard with her left hand, turning the computer screen back on.

Zhou Yinghuai: "..."

"The software you used to schedule my shifts that night, was it developed by Dazhou Group?"

Zhou Yinghuai smiled and shook his head, "It's my own company."

"Is there a difference?"

"Apart from Dazhou Group, this is a company I co-founded with others."

Hearing him say this, Zhu Xi suddenly realized that she knew less than 1% about her new husband.

That's right, she had only known him for a short time.

Zhou Yinghuai pushed his phone between the two of them. "Fanzhou Technology."

He wanted to tell her that Fanzhou Technology would be collaborating with the hospital to develop AI.

He also wanted her to know that this was a company he had established before taking over Dazhou Group.

He was one of the earliest people in China to propose medical AI, but at that time AI technology was still in its infancy, and many of his ideas could not be implemented.

If we had met her back then, perhaps Fanzhou Technology would be even more successful than it is now.

But it's not too late now.

Now is the best opportunity.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yinghuai never had the chance to say these things.

Congratulatory phone calls came first.

"elder brother."

Zhu Xi lost interest in listening to him list his assets and instead playfully flirted with her brother.

Her eyes, which had been calm just moments before, were now bright and lively, curving into beautiful crescent moons. "Are you in a relationship? You haven't called me for days."

The two were standing close together, and Zhou Yinghuai saw the similar smiles on the siblings' faces, so he stood up.

His sudden movement startled the coquettish Zhu Xi.

"What are you doing?" she frowned. "Didn't you promise about the wedding?"

Zhou Yinghuai pointed to the trash can next to him, "I want to throw away the trash."

Congratulations! They asked through the screen, "Who's there?"

"Zhou Yinghuai." Zhu Xi pursed her lips. "He's been coming to the hospital to see me a lot lately."

Before Zhu Xi could introduce himself, Zhou Yinghuai turned sideways and showed half of his face on the screen, saying, "Congratulations, I am Zhou Yinghuai."

Zhu Xi sighed, glancing down at the trash can; it was indeed the trash she had just created.

Zhou Yinghuai rested one hand on the back of the chair behind her, smiled slightly, and asked, "Did I scare you?"

Zhu Xi coughed lightly, then shook her head.

"Just leave the trash there, I'll take it out myself later."

As she spoke, she glanced at the congratulations on the screen, and for some reason, she found her face turning red.

It's incredibly popular.

Congratulations on your better mental fortitude than Zhu Xi. "You know how to throw away trash? When President Zhu gets busy, he doesn't even have time to reply to my WeChat messages."

Zhou Yinghuai laughed as well, "She is quite busy."

"Isn't Mr. Zhou busy?"

"No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat. There's always time to eat."

"This seems to be different from what Xixi said before they got their marriage certificate."

"What's different?"

"It's the same everywhere."

Zhu Xi felt the back of the chair behind her sink slightly. When she turned around to look at the man behind her, Zhou Yinghuai's smiling gaze fell directly into her probing eyes.

"Talk to your brother, are they all the same?"

The two men, talking back and forth, successfully confused Zhu Xi.

She sensed something was off from the conversation between the two men, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

She frowned and stared intently at Zhou Yinghuai, asking, "Did you encrypt your language?"

Zhou Yinghuai just smiled and remained silent.

She turned back and pressed for an answer, "Brother, did you know each other in a past life?"

Zhuhe adjusted his glasses, his voice gentle and indulgent, "Do your own work, go throw out the trash."

She said "oh" and tried to take her phone and go outside.

"Put your phone down," Zhu He said. "I just received a call from China. It must have been Qingge."

Zhu Xi immediately became unhappy, apparently because she heard that someone from Grandpa Wen's side had come.

"Zhu Xi, go and ask her for me. If it's her, call me from her phone."

Zhu Xi originally didn't want to; she didn't want Zhu He to have anything to do with the Yu family.

But Dr. Zhu, who always cherishes her brother, always listens to him.

She put down her phone, picked up the trash, and left the dormitory.

Once the sound of the door closing was clearly heard, Zhu He spoke first.

"Mr. Zhou, I respect all of Zhu Xi's decisions. I have no objection to her marrying you."

Zhou Yinghuai calmly sat down. "Professor Zhu, believe me, I understand how you feel right now."

No one knew better than him the bitterness and resentment one felt when their beloved sister was taken away by a stranger.

Lan Qi and he were childhood friends, and his marriage to Zhou Lingyi was based on mutual love.

Even so, even though Lan Qi and Zhou Lingyi had been married for several years.

Zhou Yinghuai still couldn't forgive this "scumbag".

He stared at the screen. "I also respect all of Zhu Xi's decisions."

Congratulations shrugged, making his position clear: "I just wanted to tell Mr. Zhou something."

"What is it?"

"Zhu Xi said that the men in the Zhou family don't have the right to file for divorce?"

Zhou Yinghuai suppressed his smile, his expression becoming serious and earnest. "Yes."

"Your marriage is an arranged one. What will you do if you find someone you like in the future?" Congratulations.

Zhou Yinghuai: "That day will never come."

Congratulations, however, were dismissive. "What if Zhu Xi has someone she loves?" she asked.

Zhou Yinghuai was silent for a moment, then said, "Let her go."

Grant her wish.

Congratulations: "Excuse my bluntness, but she still harbors feelings for Su Daiqing."
