When he saw that Zhou Zimo did not say anything, Su Chen glanced at him as well and said earnestly, “It’s not like you’re going to fall for it.”

“A man can’t be so passive. Chasing a woman is also about strategy. Of course, you can’t be too indulgent. Look at Ah Chen. Even though he’s cold and indifferent, he’s got better skills in picking up girls than us. We can’t deny this point.”

“That’s called being coquettish, but after so many years, the only person who can make him so flirtatious is Xi Xiaye. Of course, I hope that I can be that loyal too.” Zhou Zimo sighed.

“You’re pretty loyal. All these years, haven’t you been waiting for Qin Su?” Su Chen said nonchalantly, his eyes filled with mockery. “If you really wanted to take her down, I don’t believe that you, Zhou Zimo, can’t do anything about it.”

“There’s really nothing I can do. I just don’t want to...”

“Alright, since you’re thinking from her point of view now, it shows that you care about her very much. This isn’t a bad thing, but it’s also not a good thing. Thinking about how you, Zhou Zimo, will fall deeply in love with a woman later on, I find it hard to imagine such a scene. Do you feel like you’re trapped by a woman?”

When Su Chen said this, his tone became a little deep.

“What do you mean by trapped? How do you know that Qin Su and I can’t be like Chen and Xiaye? Or like you and Ji Zitong?” Zhou Zimo retorted.

His dark eyes were filled with emotions that surprised Su Chen. After pondering for a moment, Zhou Zimo continued, “Regardless of whether you believe it or not, she is the only one in my life. If she doesn’t marry, I won’t marry either. In any case, I can’t love another woman. I can’t imagine what life would be like if I woke up every morning with a woman that I loathe lying beside me. All these years, after searching for so long, I too...”

“Ah Chen and I always thought that you couldn’t let go of your previous relationship. I didn’t expect that it was because of Qin Su. That woman is in City Z, didn’t you two bump into each other before? After so many years...” Su Chen said in a low voice.

At the mention of this matter, Zhou Zimo instantly furrowed his brows, “I’ve long forgotten those things. Her name doesn’t have the right to appear with Qin Su’s name. I’ve also forgotten what she looks like. I only remember Qin Su.”

“I know that you don’t care for ordinary things. Everyone appreciates Qin Su’s beauty. She has a good personality and is a great girl who’s quite rare, you have to cherish her.”

“You can say that I’m shallow. I admit that I also took a liking to her beauty back then. Now, I can’t deny that other than that, there’s also something else in my heart.”

Zhou Zimo brushed his ink-black hair with his fingers. He was very frustrated when it came to this matter. He did not know when Qin Su would be able to truly accept him. In his heart, he was even more anxious. He spent every day with the woman he loved, however, he could not cross the line. This was not a great feeling!

“Alright, let’s not talk about me anymore. How is Ji Zitong?”

“Everything is fine. She has been taking care of the baby at home recently. Her health is doing pretty well and she rarely makes me worry now.”

“In a few months, you will be a father. Are you very excited?”

Zhou Zimo also looked at Su Chen with some envy.

Speaking of this, Su Chen’s dark eyes could not help but be filled with anticipation as he said with some joy, “Yes, of course. “Now, every night, Zitong is used to pulling me to give her child some kind of prenatal education. At the beginning, it was quite annoying, but when you feel that the child in your stomach can really understand your words and you can even feel its movements, you’d turn all soft like cotton.”

Zhou Zimo silently looked at Su Chen. When he saw a faint warmth gather on his firm and handsome face, his face also softened a little—

“I think you’re enjoying your current life very much. Previously, the two of us were clearly talking about whether we would still be single when we grow old. I didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, you would be like Chen and leave Qi Lei and I to be alone. After Qi Lei got married, things are even worse...,” Zhou Zimo said with a heavy tone.

“So, you should get married to Qin Su as soon as possible. Since you’ve always been sure of your own feelings, then you should just persevere. Since you’re already halfway there, you should know how to seize the opportunity.”

Su Chen’s words had a hint to them.

“I wish things were as simple as you think they are. We’re not like you and Ji Zitong. You know Qin Su’s personality. Do you think I, Zhou Zimo, am that bad? Why does it seem like she doesn’t even like me?”

“You’re Zhou Zimo. You’re well-off, not to mention your abilities and looks. Don’t you have the confidence?”

“This has nothing to do with confidence. There are many issues to consider at times. I didn’t know that matters of the heart were so complicated.”

As Zhou Zimo spoke, he raised his head and drank the tea in his cup. He suddenly stood up. “Alright, let’s take this opportunity to invite Qi Lei as well. I have something to tell him. It’s not easy on his side either. Ask him out for a drink, I’m troubled right now.”

He grabbed the coat on the shelf and draped it over his shoulder as he turned to look at Su Chen.

“Qi Lei, yes, I was just about to call him. There was a call from the city south just now. His driver’s license has been revoked. Yang Sheng is handling it over there right now. Let’s see if he can deal with it quickly.”

Su Chen quickly recalled Secretary He’s call just now.

“Didn’t you read the newspaper this morning?” Zhou Zimo asked.

“What newspaper?”

Su Chen naturally could not react in time.

“It’s just those matters of relationships again. As expected, things aren’t easy on Dongfang Liuyun’s side. If Dongfang Liuyun doesn’t handle it well, it would be unfair to Qi Lei. Although we shouldn’t comment on the matters between brothers, sometimes we have to pay attention.”

“Forget it. Let’s ask him out first. You make the call.”

Su Chen also finished his cup of tea and stood up.

Zhou Zimo nodded and took the phone on the table. He dialed the number while Su Chen followed behind.

...

Qi Lei was surprised to receive Zhou Zimo’s call.

At this moment, he was at home, sitting on the sofa in the living room and watching TV. Dongfang Liuyun had specially gotten Secretary Ding to bring some documents over from the office. She was working at home while accompanying him.

“We’ll be waiting for you at Imperial Sky, our usual spot. We won’t leave until we see you. Hurry up and come over.”

After Zhou Zimo said that, he hung up the phone without giving Qi Lei a chance to reject.
