Feast for Shengsheng

Chapter 1012 You Investigated Me?

Hearing the commotion, the butler hurried out, but seeing the two men's pale faces, he dared not say anything more.

Soon, Su Zhenzhen and Zhou Jingyan returned to their room.

"I'm sorry," Zhou Jingyan apologized.

Su Zhenzhen just stared at me and said, "What are you apologizing to me for? You lied to me that you and An Nai clearly went to Tokyo, but then you told me you were on a business trip in Jiangcheng?"

As she spoke, Su Zhenzhen suddenly smiled, a smile without any expression on her face.

However, there is still no sense of dispute between the lines.

She waited patiently for Zhou Jingyan's reply.

"You investigated me?" Zhou Jingyan asked Su Zhenzhen in return.

Su Zhenzhen remained calm and composed: "Is that the kind of person you think I am? Investigating your whereabouts? I think I should ask directly, rather than investigate."

That's quite frank.

That was indeed Su Zhenzhen's personality, and Zhou Jingyan couldn't refute it.

He continued to look at Su Zhenzhen quietly.

“I saw you and Anna in Tokyo. Coincidentally, we were at the same barbecue restaurant.” Su Zhenzhen said casually. “I changed my flight back at the last minute. Of course, I deliberately didn’t tell you beforehand, because I wanted to know if you would tell me the truth or a lie. But you lied.”

"I'm sorry," Zhou Jingyan apologized.

That's admitting you lied.

After all, there's nothing wrong with admitting the facts.

However, Zhou Jingyan remained open and honest, giving Su Zhenzhen no opportunity to find a loophole to insult him.

Su Zhenzhen wanted to know how Zhou Jingyan would explain it to her.

“I always thought that couples would have secrets, but they wouldn’t lie. For example, lies involving other women,” Su Zhenzhen said succinctly.

This is equivalent to cheating.

Su Zhenzhen just didn't explicitly say that to Zhou Jingyan.

This was the first time the two of them had argued like this since they met, started dating, got engaged, and got married.

It wasn't even an argument, just a disagreement.

“This was my fault,” Zhou Jingyan admitted. “I did go to Jiangcheng before, and then flew from Jiangcheng to Tokyo. You can have He Chen send you the flight records. Because the problem occurred in Tokyo, I didn’t want you to worry, so I didn’t plan to tell you. After all, I rarely go to the same city frequently.”

It's reasonable and straightforward.

His frankness left Su Zhenzhen unable to explode.

Su Zhenzhen even felt that if she said anything more, she would be being unreasonable.

"Is it because of the Zhou family's matter?" Su Zhenzhen continued to ask.

"Yes." Zhou Jingyan did not deny it.

He didn't say anything more, presumably because he didn't intend to tell Su Zhenzhen.

“We seem to be husband and wife. I believe I’m quite capable, so why are you unwilling to let me share the Zhou family’s affairs with you, and instead choose an outsider?” Su Zhenzhen asked succinctly.

She is passionate and decisive, so she wants to find out what she doesn't know.

Zhou Jingyan looked down at Su Zhenzhen quietly and said, "Zhenzhen, I don't want you to bear too much pressure and responsibility. A wife is meant to be cherished, not to be worried about."

These words were spoken with deep emotion and sincerity.

It felt like they had gone back to the beginning of their relationship.

Zhou Jingyan was always thinking about Su Zhenzhen, no matter when or where.

Especially this person's attitude, it's hard to doubt.

So under these circumstances, Su Zhenzhen began to think that she was being unreasonable.

“So I can take on this pressure myself,” Zhou Jingyan said calmly. “Annai happens to be the kind of person who knows how to handle these issues. So it’s perfectly normal to ask her for help.”

All the explanations are reasonable.

Su Zhenzhen's temper was instantly suppressed.

"Don't overthink it. You've been under too much pressure lately," Zhou Jingyan said calmly.

“At first I thought you were too young and could postpone having children, but now I think having another child might prevent you from overthinking things.” Zhou Jingyan’s attitude has changed completely.

Suddenly, Su Zhenzhen had a strange feeling that Zhou Jingyan was the one who was wrong in this matter.

Zhou Jingyan was the one who lied first.

Now it seems like I'm the one in the wrong.

"I'm sorry, my attitude wasn't good either," Su Zhenzhen apologized.

But the next moment, her gaze remained fixed on Zhou Jingyan: "I agree with everything you've said, but on that basis, why do you and An Nai seem so intimate? Overly familiar intimacy."

Before Zhou Jingyan could speak, she continued, "At the barbecue restaurant, you carried her in, and she leaned on you. At the airport, you protected her too, didn't you?"

"At the barbecue restaurant, someone happened to be passing by and bumped into her, so I helped her up. At the airport, she twisted her ankle, and I couldn't just watch her fall," Zhou Jingyan explained patiently.

The Su Zhenzhen of the past would never have questioned Zhou Jingyan so aggressively.

Although she's not the gentle type, she definitely seems intelligent.

Know what to ask and what not to ask.

Therefore, there was a slight impatience in Zhou Jingyan's eyes, but he didn't show it very obviously in front of Su Zhenzhen.

Su Zhenzhen felt that she was probably loving him a little too much, so she could easily sense Zhou Jingyan's every move.

Zhou Jingyan grew impatient.

So Su Zhenzhen also quieted down.

"Any more questions?" Zhou Jingyan asked Su Zhenzhen.

Su Zhenzhen was not unaware of the meaning behind Zhou Jingyan's words.

After asking the questions, the matter was considered closed.

She didn't want to leave any future problems, so she said it directly: "Annai likes you."

“It doesn’t matter that she likes me, I’m married. I’ve said it before, I’m not the kind of person who cheats on their spouse,” Zhou Jingyan said bluntly.

"You two were together before, right?" Su Zhenzhen continued to ask.

"Yes. But we broke up many years ago." Zhou Jingyan did not deny it.

Zhou Jingyan's candor made Su Zhenzhen feel like something was wrong with her.

But she still looked intently at Zhou Jingyan: "Do you think it's appropriate to have your ex-girlfriend by your side?"

"You mind this?" Zhou Jingyan frowned.

“It would be a lie to say I don’t mind. Do you think it would be appropriate for me to have my ex-boyfriend working next to me?” Su Zhenzhen was still trying to reason with Zhou Jingyan at this moment.

Faced with Su Zhenzhen like this, Zhou Jingyan's impatience became increasingly obvious.

Even in the end, he stopped hiding it altogether.

"So you mean to tell me that she can't work for the Zhou family?" Zhou Jingyan asked Su Zhenzhen in return.

“Annai is excellent, I don’t deny that, but there can’t be someone more suitable than her in this world,” Su Zhenzhen said succinctly.

In short, they don't want Anna.

This time, Zhou Jingyan looked at Su Zhenzhen with a very indifferent expression.

This reminded Su Zhenzhen of the first time she met Zhou Jingyan.

This person was looking at himself in the same way.

His impatience was palpable.

“Zhenzhen, a decision has been made. An Nai is not an idle person, and neither am I. She is currently the most suitable candidate, without exception. The Zhou family's situation is much more complicated than you think. So I don't want to argue with you about this.” Zhou Jingyan said succinctly.
