Jiang Mingzhu disappeared again, and Zhou Li had not contacted her for three days.
The phone couldn't be reached, and there was no one in the prime minister's villa. Apart from that, he had no other way to contact her.
Liang Cong was very discerning and checked Jiang Mingzhu's whereabouts. After finding out the flight number, he reported it to Zhou Li.
Liang Cong: "Mr. Zhou, I asked the airport to check. Jiang Zhu has been flying to Hong Kong City these days and will be back on Friday night."
Zhou Li closed the document in his hand and glanced at Liang Cong coldly: "I asked you to check? Mind your own business."
Liang Cong: "It's me. I have a lot on my hands. I hope Jiang Zhu can come back to work soon so that I don't have to take care of her work."
Zhou Li: "Your subordinates are absent from work for no reason. It's up to you."
Liang Cong: "...Yes, Mr. Zhou."
After Liang Cong left, Zhou Li took out his mobile phone and made several calls to Jiang Mingzhu.
Without exception, they are all temporarily unavailable.
Zhou Li felt irritable, put on his suit, picked up his car keys and left the office.
——
Zhou Li drove the car and wandered aimlessly on the road.
Half an hour later, Zhou Li received a call from Jin Rou.
Zhou Li: "Mom."
Jin Rou: "Where are you? Are you busy today?"
Zhou Li: "You're not busy, what's wrong?"
Jin Rou: "Then you go home and bring two boxes of the bird's nests I bought to Yubai."
Zhou Li: "Okay."
After answering Jin Rou's call, Zhou Li drove back to Zhou's home.
Jin Rou not only prepared bird's nests for Zhan Yubai, but also many other types of supplements. She ordered the driver to move everything to Zhou Li's car.
When Zhou Li saw that the trunk was packed to the brim, he felt that Jin Rou was exaggerating.
Zhou Li: "There's so much, she can't finish it."
Jin Rou: "What do you know? There's no way you can't finish it. Just one sentence will reveal that you don't care enough about Yu Bai."
Zhou Li: "..."
Jin Rou: "Yubai is missing a kidney, her body is weaker than ordinary people, and she is busy at work. I called her yesterday, and her voice was hoarse. You, the fiancé, don't even know how to care. Her body."
These words are cliché.
Almost every time she came back to her old house, Jin Rou would blame Zhou Li for not caring enough about Zhan Yubai, and Zhou Li rarely explained anything to herself.
He really couldn't do that kind of caring, and it wasn't his style.
Jin Rou said a lot of things sincerely, but Zhou Li didn't even respond. She was upset and slapped Zhou Li on the arm.
"You said so much, how many words did you listen to?"
Zhou Li: "I know, I'll send these to her."
Jin Rou: "Thursday, tell me honestly, are you blaming me for having to let you and Yubai be together?"
Zhou Li shook his head and denied, "You are overthinking."
Jin Rou: "I'm only over 50 years old, so I'm not an old fool."
Zhou Li: "Then why do you think so?"
Jin Rou: "Do you have feelings for Yubai now?"
Zhou Li: "I listen to you. I will pay more attention to her in the future. I'm going to give her something."
Jin Rou watched Zhou Li's car speed away and shook her head helplessly.
Zhou Li and Zhan Yubai have been officially together for almost three years.
Zhan Yubai was getting better and better towards Zhou Li. He thought of him all the time and was considerate and considerate in every possible way.
Zhou Li has always been lukewarm towards Zhan Yubai.
Although others say that Zhou Li is already very special to Zhan Yubai, Jin Rou feels that this "specialness" does not stem from the relationship between the two, but more like completing a task.
Even when he said just now that he would care more about Zhan Yubai in the future, it seemed like he was completing a mission.
At that time, Jin Rou also knew about Zhan Yubai's pursuit of Zhou Li.
Zhou Li is almost indifferent to Zhan Yubai, which is reasonable. Her son has been a flower on the mountain since he was a child.
When Zhan Yubai made this request, Jin Rou once reminded Zhan Yubai tactfully.
Zhan Yubai said at that time, "Auntie, I never expected that he would love me as much as I love him... I just want to be by his side forever."
Who would have the heart to refuse a person who has just had a kidney removed and said such words?
Zhan Yubai's humble attitude also made Jin Rou feel more and more sorry for her.
What woman doesn’t want her marriage partner to love her?
Zhou Li didn't like anyone in her heart, so she hoped that Zhou Li would be more devoted to Zhan Yu.
——
Zhou Li did not go to Fenghe, but brought this cart of things to Zhan Yubai's apartment.
Zhou Li checked in with the security guard, moved his things upstairs, and stood in the corridor waiting for Zhan Yubai to come back.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Li heard Zhan Yubai's voice coming in from the safety passage.
She's on the phone.
"Have you found it? All of them?"
"Well, send me your email and I'll find you after reading it."
"Go and check those two people I mentioned."
After Zhan Yubai made the call, he happened to walk out and ran into Zhou Li.
After meeting Zhou Li's eyes, Zhan Yubai's expression froze for a second, but he quickly adjusted.
"Why didn't you tell me before you came?" Zhan Yubai showed a surprised expression, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Zhou Li: "No, I just arrived a while ago."
His tone sounded the same as usual, as if he didn't doubt what she just said.
This made Zhan Yubai feel a lot more relaxed.
Zhan Yubai saw the things on the ground, "These are..."
Zhou Li: "My mother asked me to bring it to you."
Zhan Yubai was deeply moved: "Auntie is so kind to me."
She pressed the fingerprint lock and opened the door, and she and Zhou Li took the things on the floor back home.
Zhou Li rarely came to Zhan Yubai's house. Zhan Yubai was a little excited, "Are you leaving after dinner tonight? I'll cook."
Zhou Li: "Okay."
Zhou Li and Zhan Yubai went to the kitchen together. He originally wanted to help, but Zhan Yubai was reluctant to do anything to Zhou Li.
"Just sit in the restaurant and wait, and I'll do it." Zhan Yubai was extremely considerate.
Zhou Li sat down at the dining table, and Zhan Yubai chatted with him while cooking.
Zhou Liyun responded with a few words calmly, which was in sharp contrast to Zhan Yubai's enthusiasm.
Zhan Yubai rarely cooks anymore, but because Zhou Li came over, she cooked an extremely sumptuous dinner for the first time in a long time.
The table was covered with plates and looked very inviting.
Zhou Li picked up the chopsticks and picked out a dish to eat.
Zhan Yubai looked forward to it: "How does it taste?"
Zhou Li: "Very good."
Zhan Yubai: "If you like it, I will often cook it for you in the future."
Zhou Li: "Okay."
After dinner, Zhou Li stayed and sat for a while.
Zhan Yubai rarely had the opportunity to chat with Zhou Li alone in a private space. Although Zhou Li was indifferent, she talked to him excitedly.
Zhou Li glanced at his watch and said, "It's nine o'clock. I'm going back first. You can rest early."
After saying that, he had already stood up and walked to the coat rack, ready to get dressed.
The smile on Zhan Yubai's face froze, she pursed her lips and quickly followed Zhou Li.
Zhan Yubai hugged Zhou Li's waist from behind, pressed his face against his back, and summoned up the courage to ask, "Zhou Li, can you stay with me tonight...?"
