Qin Su’s tone was very determined. She had always been like this and would never go back on her word.

Zhou Zimo gave her a sideways glance and suddenly felt a little aggrieved. He still did not want to agree so easily. He hurriedly said, “Eight months. At least eight months.”

Qin Su thought for a moment and lowered her eyes. It was considered a tacit agreement.

Zhou Zimo’s handsome face lit up. “What about the second one?”

“Secondly, throughout our relationship, we must respect each other and cooperate with each other.”

“You’re saying this as if I would really take advantage of you. Well of course, I will definitely respect you, Officer Qin Su. Don’t worry!”

Zhou Zimo gave her a meaningful glance and generously agreed.

Qin Su took a moment to calm down and continued, “Third, I don’t accept your gossip. I’m someone who values reputation very much. Even if we can’t be together in the end, I don’t want others to know that I’ve had contact with a someone in a scandal.”

When Qin Su said this, Zhou Zimo was a little unhappy. He immediately said, “What do you mean someone in a scandal? I’ve been pure-hearted all these years and have never had any female partners.”

Qin Su gave him a sideways glance and tossed the newspaper to him. Zhou Zimo frowned and subconsciously looked at it as well—

It was indeed some entertainment weekly newspaper. The headlines on it were very big. It was a photo of him with a female celebrity at a banquet previously. It seemed to be quite ambiguous.

“This isn’t what you think. Can’t you see that my expression is so stiff?” Zhou Zimo explained with some annoyance.

“I’m only giving my opinion. It’s fine as long as you know what you’re doing.”

Qin Su replied indifferently. After pausing for a moment, she looked at him. “What about you? You can give me whatever conditions you have.”

Zhou Zimo’s black eyes flickered. He looked at her deeply and said in a deep voice, “I’ll agree to all your conditions. I only have one condition.”

“Say it,” replied Qin Su.

“I want you to move to my place. This is my condition.” Zhou Zimo said firmly.

“Impossible!” Qin Su rejected him directly.

“It’s not what you think. My house is quite large, and it’s not far from where you work. It’ll be more convenient for you. Also, you can choose any room you want. Since we’re going to get along, you can save the trouble of cooking yourself. Isn’t that a good thing?” Zhou Zimo said seductively.

Hmm?

Eating was indeed a problem!

Qin Su herself admitted that she was a little...

“Don’t think about it. It’s settled then. I’ll go to your house tomorrow to visit your parents. I’ll also help you carry your luggage and help you move.”

Zhou Zimo did not wait for Qin Su to answer and directly said shamelessly.

“Keep our relationship a secret. It’s not good for us to be too conspicuous.”

“You mean, we’re going to have a secret relationship?” Zhou Zimo frowned.

“If you want to take it that way, sure.”

“Qin Su, you...”

“Whether you agree or not depends on yourself. Find a place to eat. I’m a little hungry.”

Qin Su did not want to say anything more. Since she had already made the decision, she could only deal with the rest as she saw fit.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This time, Zhou Zimo sighed in his heart. He was a little happy, but at the same time, he felt aggrieved!

“Alright, I’ll do as you say.”

After thinking for a while, Zhou Zimo could only answer like this.

Qin Su heard his tone and immediately turned to look at him. Seeing that he looked a little unhappy, she said, “You’re not happy?”

“No, I am. Of course I am!” Zhou Zimo hurriedly replied.

Qin Su’s tensed face looked a little better. “If you have any opinions, you’d better say it directly. I’ve never guessed what you men are thinking.”

“Even if I say it, I don’t think you’ll agree.”

Zhou Zimo replied and then increased the speed of the car. “I’ll bring you for French cuisine.”

“Okay.”

...

The night gradually turned dark, and the surroundings fell silent. The evening breeze was very cold, and it was only at this time that one could feel the autumn.

Dongfang Liuyun stood in front of the glass window in the study and looked down at the quiet courtyard. She held her aching waist with one hand. After sitting for so long, her back was aching.

Qi Lei suddenly received a call after dinner, so he went out. He had not returned yet.

It was already past twelve.

Dongfang Liuyun had been waiting. When he was not home, it seemed very quiet. She was not used to this silence. She felt like something was missing.

After some thought, she finally could not help but turn around. She walked to the table and was about to give him a call. She vaguely heard a sound downstairs. Then, the light from the car flashed past the floor-to-ceiling window. She turned around and went over, she saw the car slowly drive in. It was Qi Lei’s car.

She then heaved a sigh of relief.

A few minutes later, the sound of the door opening came from outside. When Dongfang Liuyun walked out of the study, she just happened to see the man turn around and close the door.

“Why are you still awake? Didn’t I tell you to sleep first?”

Qi Lei frowned. As he asked, he unhurriedly took off his coat and threw it into the sofa. He untied his tie tiredly.

“Wait for you. Why do you smell like alcohol?”

Dongfang Liuyun could smell the alcohol on him from afar.

“A friend just returned from England, we went out to welcome him. Rest early, you have to wake up early tomorrow. I’m going to wash up.”

Qi Lei unbuttoned his shirt unhurriedly. He glanced at her and walked towards the bedroom.

Dongfang Liuyun could only help him pack up the clothes he had casually left behind.

About half an hour later, Qi Lei came out of the bathroom. Dongfang Liuyun was already lying down, leaning against the headboard as she flipped through the documents for the meeting the next day.

“Don’t read anymore. It’s almost 1 a.m.”

The documents in Dongfang Liuyun’s hands were suddenly taken by the man. He threw them onto the chair on the side while tossing the towel in his hand over too.

Dongfang Liuyun glanced at him and stood up to help him wipe his half-dried ink hair.

“I heard that there was a problem with the Lin Corporation these past few days. Did you hear anything about it?”

Dongfang Liuyun suddenly thought of this matter.

“The Lin Corporation? On Lin Yuanyuan’s end?”

Qi Lei turned his gaze to look at her.

Dongfang Liuyun nodded. “I think it’s a little strange.”

“How do you still have the time to bother about them. It’s better to deal with the South River Project first.”

Qi Lei naturally did not want to talk about this. He knew what had happened the best. Of course, he did not want her to know that this was his doing.

“Don’t worry about the South River Project. I think there’s no problem on my side. Our method is a good one. They’re all watching each other right now, trying to find excuses and flaws. Besides, I’m watching over them, you don’t have to worry.”
