This time it was Jiang Mingzhu's turn to be shocked.
The answer was unexpected. She couldn't answer the call for a long time, and her brain was a little frozen.
During the silence, Zhou Li stared at her again and spoke: "My parents need time to do ideological work."
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
Are you explaining this to her? She felt like she almost didn't recognize Zhou Li anymore.
Talking nicely was never his style.
Zhou Li had been looking at Jiang Mingzhu's expression, not missing a single detail. Her stunned eyes said everything.
After astonishment comes doubt.
Zhou Li: "You don't believe me."
Jiang Mingzhu: "It takes time, how long do you need?"
Zhou Li: "Not sure."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Then why are you telling me this?"
Zhou Li: "Wait for me."
Jiang Mingzhu raised the corner of her mouth, and a strong sarcasm flashed in her beautiful eyes, "What kind of new deception is this? Why should I wait for you because of your empty promise?"
Zhou Li: "I can sign an agreement with you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
Zhou Li: "If you have other ideas, feel free to mention them."
When Jiang Mingzhu was silent, Zhou Li suddenly took out his wallet from his suit pocket and pulled out a card with his slender fingers.
Before Jiang Mingzhu had time to take a closer look, the card had already been pressed into her hand.
Jiang Mingzhu took a look and saw that it was a bank's black gold card, and all the property was bound to one card.
"The password is 090807." Zhou Li skillfully announced this string of numbers that were easy to remember.
Jiang Mingzhu: "What are you doing... for me?"
He wouldn't use this card as a bargaining chip for his promise, would he?
Zhou Li: "This is all my property, do you believe it now?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Do you really like me?"
Zhou Li: "Is it difficult to understand?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Isn't it difficult to understand that you like me but want to get engaged to someone else and kick me away?"
Zhou Li: "As I said, my parents need time."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Take the card back."
Zhou Li: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I don't need this kind of commitment and guarantee. If you want to pursue me, then pursue me openly after you are single again. I won't accept your showing affection to your fiancée while hanging me and making me wait for you."
Zhou Li: "That's not what you said before."
Now he refuses so decisively because he feels that he is worthless.
She never had... any feelings for him.
Ah.
Jiang Mingzhu: "People change. In the past, I was just wishful thinking."
Zhou Li: "..."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Come on, take the card back. I can't afford to lose such a valuable thing."
Not wanting his card means not giving him this promise.
Zhou Li: "Will you be with Yuanye?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I don't know."
Zhou Li: "No."
Jiang Mingzhu tilted her head to look at Zhou Li and found that his expression was particularly serious, and his tone this time was not as bossy as before.
Although it was still stiff, there was a subtle change in his attitude.
Jiang Mingzhu blinked in confusion, still not used to such a huge change in Zhou Li.
Zhou Li: "Give me some more time."
Jiang Mingzhu was stunned for a long time before she realized what she was doing. However, she did not answer Zhou Li's question. Instead, she asked him: "Do you really like me? Isn't it an illusion?"
Zhou Li: "I can tell the difference clearly."
Jiang Mingzhu: "But why?"
Zhou Li: "I don't know."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Is it because I feel better when I sleep?"
Zhou Li was exposed by her
The words made her frown, but Jiang Mingzhu didn't show any shyness at all: "It turns out that men can fall in love with each other while they're asleep. I've seen it."
Jiang Mingzhu thought for a while and felt something was inappropriate, "That's not right, you have slept so much before..."
Before Jiang Mingzhu finished speaking, she was interrupted by Zhou Li's cold voice: "Who told you?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I guessed."
Zhou Li is already twenty-nine years old after the New Year. It is impossible for him to be inexperienced.
He doesn't act like he's inexperienced in bed, either, causing people to die or die.
Zhou Li: "No."
Jiang Mingzhu: "...Then besides me, you have only slept with Zhan Yubai?"
Zhou Li: "No."
In Jiang Mingzhu's surprised eyes, Zhou Li added: "I have never touched Zhan Yubai."
Jiang Mingzhu felt that her brain was a little frozen.
I have never touched Zhan Yubai, nor any other woman.
Then isn't she the first and only one?
Jiang Mingzhu was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time. Her eyes kept falling on Zhou Li, looking straight at him, and finally cast a meaningful glance at his crotch.
Zhou Li's shoulders stiffened and he said stiffly, "I didn't lie to you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Then you are pretty good, you have talent."
After he finished speaking, he gave him a thumbs up with the hand that was not infused.
Zhou Li: "..."
He didn't say this because he wanted her praise, he just wanted to tell her that he and Zhan Yubai had nothing to do.
Jiang Mingzhu suddenly realized: "No wonder she wants to cuckold you. It turns out that you really can't satisfy her."
Her mouth returned to its previous appearance. The strange thing was that Zhou Li didn't feel angry.
He rubbed his brows and said, "Say less."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I want to drink water."
Zhou Li went to pour a glass of warm water for Jiang Mingzhu and handed it to her.
When Jiang Mingzhu drank water, Zhou Li didn't take his eyes away from her face.
"Don't mention what I just said to you to others." After careful consideration, Zhou Li said this.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Oh, there's nothing to mention."
Zhou Li: "..."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I'm not stupid. The more people know about this, the more dangerous I will be. I won't cause trouble for myself."
Even if the person Zhan Yubai found couldn't kill her, she might be invited to tea after the news reached the ears of the Zhou family.
Jiang Mingzhu didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.
Zhou Li looked at Jiang Mingzhu's lucid analysis and recalled the conversation he heard between her and He Chuyan outside the ward door.
Thinking of her words "kick him away", Zhou Li's face inevitably darkened a bit.
Jiang Mingzhu was frightened by Zhou Li's uncertain look and choked and coughed.
Zhou Li walked up and put the water glass on the bedside table, patting her back with his palm to comfort her.
Jiang Mingzhu coughed until her eyes turned red.
Zhou Li: "Be careful."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Who told you to stare at me suddenly?"
Zhou Li: "I didn't glare at you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "You have it."
Zhou Li: "I was just thinking, you don't have to be so smart."
Jiang Mingzhu felt very happy after being praised.
She prefers to hear others praise her brain than others compliment her on her beauty.
Especially for a person like Zhou Li who hasn't praised anyone for hundreds of years, to be honest, I was quite happy to hear such words from his mouth.
Jiang Mingzhu snorted: "It's easier to deceive someone who's a bit stupid, right? You men still want to deceive me with your little calculations."
Zhou Li: "I have never seen you so smart when dealing with the wilderness."
Although I tried my best to hide it, a strong smell of acetic acid still emerged.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Because he is pursuing me openly."
