Jiang Mingzhu reacted quickly and snuggled into his arms: "The kind of love that makes you want your brother to be my husband."
She received a cold scoff from Zhou Li, but Jiang Mingzhu was not surprised. She was thick-skinned and could laugh happily even when she was ridiculed.
Zhou Li: "That's it?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "If my brother doesn't want to marry me, I won't mind having an affair with you."
Zhou Li narrowed his eyes and looked at her, as if he was testing the truth of her words.
He was not a showy person, but the lust in his eyes betrayed him.
Jiang Mingzhu knew that his heart was moved.
Even though a man like Zhou Li, who was regarded as cold and abstinent by others, was essentially a lower-body animal, Jiang Mingzhu knew that she would succeed sooner or later from the moment he started caring about the man around her.
He didn't say anything, so Jiang Mingzhu struck while the iron was hot, "You don't have to be responsible."
Zhou Li looked at her: "Have you changed your tactics?"
He didn't believe that this woman would really be so obedient that he wouldn't be responsible.
Jiang Mingzhu bit her lower lip in embarrassment, "I just want to stay by your side. It's okay if I don't have a status."
Zhou Li: "Haha, are you sure you won't deliberately expose yourself in front of my fiancée to gain power?"
What a dog, full of bad ideas, and quite thoughtful.
He asked this deliberately, asking her to personally promise that she would not provoke Zhan Yubai, so that he could rest assured that the red flag at home would not fall down and the colorful flags would be flying outside.
Jiang Mingzhu greeted his uncle in her heart, but her expression was particularly pious, "I won't. As long as you are willing to let me stay by your side, I will be obedient."
Zhou Li: "I'm not interested in sleeping with someone else."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Zhan Yanqing and I have never been together."
Zhou Li: "Where are the others?"
Only then did Jiang Mingzhu realize that he was talking about Zheng Linxu.
Zhou Li seems to care more about Zheng Linxu than Zhan Yanqing.
Jiang Mingzhu pursed her lips in embarrassment, "Isn't it the first time when I was with you, couldn't you feel it?"
It's impossible that he and Zhan Yubai haven't slept with each other for so many years. He must have had other women before Zhan Yubai.
After sleeping with so many people, it was impossible to tell the difference. He had deliberately humiliated her before.
But Zhou Li just sneered, "Ha."
——
The negotiation in the morning ended without any resolution. Jiang Mingzhu later went back to her room and changed her clothes after taking a shower.
She had no plans during the day, so she ordered takeout and stayed in her room video chatting with Sansan.
Sansan saw Jiang Mingzhu eating fried chicken, and her mouth almost dropped, "I want to eat it too."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I'll take you to eat when I get back."
Sansan: "Are you coming back with my dad?"
Jiang Mingzhu didn't dare to look at Sansan's eager eyes, "I might have to be late."
Sansan put on an aggrieved expression and acted coquettishly with Jiang Mingzhu. While the two were video chatting, Sansan received a call from Zheng Linxu.
As she spoke quickly, Sansan accidentally told Jiang Mingzhu about eating fried chicken.
Not long after the video ended, Zheng Linxu called Jiang Mingzhu to say "greetings", which made Jiang Mingzhu coax him in a good voice for a long time.
Zheng Lin said: "You have taken care of your body, do you still want to suffer again?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Okay, okay, I promise, I will eat less in the future."
Zheng Lin said: "You'd better be."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Definitely."
Zheng Linxu: "I am skeptical about your promise now. When you come back from your business trip, I will arrange for a nutritionist to prepare your three meals a day and report back to me."
Jiang Mingzhu: "..." Help.
Zheng Linxu seemed to have guessed that she would refuse, "If you don't obey, come back to New York with me."
Jiang Mingzhu obediently compromised: "Don't be angry, Boss Zheng, I will listen to you."
After coaxing her for a long time, Zheng Linxu was not surprised.
Angry.
A few minutes after the phone call, Zheng Linxu sent Jiang Mingzhu a WeChat message.
[Don't blame me for caring too much about you. Your body can't stand it. I was too anxious just now and had a bad attitude. I apologize to you. 】
Jiang Mingzhu: [I forgive you. 】
In fact, she didn't know that Zheng Lin's "nosy" was for her health.
Only Zheng Linxu knew how difficult it was for her body to recover to where it is today.
Jiang Mingzhu didn't eat the last bit of fried chicken. She was holding the garbage and preparing to throw it away, but she ran into Zhou Li as soon as she opened the door.
If I read it correctly, Zhou Li was standing at the door of her room.
Jiang Mingzhu raised her eyebrows, "Brother, are you looking for me?"
Zhou Li glanced at the garbage bag in her hand, "Where are you going?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "If my brother comes to see me, I don't have to go anywhere."
Zhou Li: "After throwing away the garbage, go to the basement to find me."
In his usual aloof style, he dropped this order and left.
Jiang Mingzhu snorted and cursed "pretentious weirdo" in a low voice. It seemed that he wanted to go on a date with her, and it was staged.
Too lazy to argue with him, Jiang Mingzhu went back to change her shoes, picked up her bag, and walked to the elevator.
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, Jiang Mingzhu saw a Land Rover nearby with double flashes.
When she was wondering if this was Zhou Li, the dog had already rolled down the window and said, "Get in the car."
Jiang Mingzhu smiled and ran over excitedly like a child.
She got in the car, fastened her seat belt, put her bag aside, blinked her big eyes and asked him, "Brother, where are you taking me?"
Those beautiful eyes were full of expectations, a little more childlike than usual, and they didn't look like they were staged.
Zhou Li looked away and started the car without answering her.
Jiang Mingzhu refused to give up, "Where are you going?"
Zhou Li: "Are you afraid?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "No way. If my brother takes me to hell, I will go too."
Zhou Li sneered disdainfully and began to talk nonsense again.
The car drove further and further, and finally reached the suburban expressway. Jiang Mingzhu glanced sideways at the expressionless man driving in the driver's seat, and her heart skipped a beat.
Are you going to take her to a deserted place to deal with her?
However, what she worried about did not happen in the end.
Seeing the sign of the hot spring hotel, Jiang Mingzhu understood what was going on.
She instantly beamed with joy, her eyes almost bent with laughter. He really brought her on a date.
Zhou Li still ignored people, but Jiang Mingzhu smiled even happier.
After arriving, a staff member came to receive them. When she saw the other party taking the suitcase from the car, Jiang Mingzhu realized that the dog things had been prepared.
I brought my suitcase... because I was going to spend the night here with her.
The staff was very enthusiastic and took them to the independent suite and introduced the display here in detail.
When the other party said that this was a "couple's private bath," Jiang Mingzhu gave Zhou Li a meaningful look.
"You can always call the service hotline if you need anything. I wish you a happy stay."
Zhou Li nodded distantly, while Jiang Mingzhu said enthusiastically: "Thank you, little sister, bye~"
After the staff left, Jiang Mingzhu went up and hugged Zhou Li, "If you guessed it correctly, my brother brought me here because he wanted to have an affair with me, right?"
