Chapter 78 What kind of worthless thing are you made of?
"Marry me?"
Xie Zheng's tone sounded incredulous.
Zhou Yaoguang assumed she was just overly excited.
"Yes!" Zhou Yaoguang cupped Xie Zheng's face in his hands, gazed at her affectionately, and said solemnly, "Zhengbao, I want to give you a grand wedding!"
"I want to marry you in a grand and glorious way!"
Hearing this, Xie Zheng smiled brightly and said, "Then are you going to have a diamond ring made for me the size of a pigeon egg? And find a famous designer abroad to make a wedding dress for me?"
Zhou Yaoguang smiled and nodded: "Okay! I'll make everything you want happen."
Upon hearing this, Xie Zheng smiled radiantly and said, "Then I'll also want a jeweled crown, an emerald one. And I'll invite my best friend to be my bridesmaid!"
Zhou Yaoguang nodded: "Of course! You can invite whoever you want to be your bridesmaid."
"Then I'd like to invite Xie Jiaoyue."
Xie Zheng's smile grew brighter and brighter, to the point of being somewhat eerie. "That way, on our wedding night, I can stand by the bed wearing a green hat and watch you mess with my best friend!"
The smile on Zhou Yaoguang's face shattered instantly.
His hands, which were holding Xie Zheng, also became stiff as iron.
"Zhengbao, what are you saying?" Zhou Yaoguang pinched Xie Zheng's cheek and said coldly, "There's a limit to your jokes."
"The person I love is you, and the person I want to marry is you."
Why are you dragging me into this with Xie Jiaoyue?
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yaoguang asked Xie Zheng, "Did you and Xie Jiaoyue have a fight?"
Seeing that Zhou Yaoguang was still acting even now, Xie Zheng was so angry that she laughed. "Zhou Yaoguang, I really didn't realize you had such a talent for acting."
"When the Zhou family goes bankrupt, you won't have to worry. With your superb acting skills, you'll definitely become a sensation and get rich overnight."
Zhou Yaoguang's face turned completely cold. "Xie Zheng, what nonsense are you spouting?"
“Zhou Yaoguang, you know what you’ve done! We’re all decent people, there’s no need to make things too ugly.”
Xie Zheng removed Zhou Yaoguang's hands.
She took a step back, tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ears, and said firmly, "Six years ago, you risked half your life to save me, and the scars on your back are still there to this day."
"I will be grateful for this kindness for the rest of my life."
Xie Zheng's voice choked up.
She took a deep breath, composed herself, and spoke again in a calm voice: "I've often heard people say that feelings have an expiration date."
"It seems our relationship is only valid for six years."
“I once had Zhou Yaoguang, who loved me passionately for six years, and I am very content.”
"I am willing to donate one of my kidneys to your mother. From now on, we will be even."
After saying that, Xie Zheng tore off the ring from her neck and threw it to Zhou Yaoguang.
"Zhou Yaoguang".
Let's part ways amicably.
Xie Zheng turned to leave, but Zhou Yaoguang grabbed her wrist forcefully.
"Where are you going!" Zhou Yaoguang dropped the pretense. He grabbed Xie Zheng tightly, forcefully pulling her into his arms, his voice cold and sharp: "Xie Zheng, are you trying to abandon me now?"
"Just because I slept with Xie Jiaoyue, you're going to throw me away?"
Zhou Yaoguang couldn't help but sneer twice.
He lifted Xie Zheng's chin and said in an inscrutable tone, "You promised you wouldn't film a sex scene, but you almost did! If I hadn't received the news in time and stopped you, the whole world would have seen you lying naked under another man!"
"You embarrassed me first!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Zheng's eyes widened. "Meng Xiujing's pressure system broke, and he's still recovering in the hospital. Did you do this?"
Meng Xiujing is a very dedicated and upright actor.
In the first half of the year, Xie Zheng and Meng Xiujing collaborated on a spy film, and the two were originally supposed to have a bed scene.
However, Meng Xiujing suffered a burst fracture of the spine due to a broken wire during filming, which forced him to suspend his work.
Meng Xiujing was seriously injured and underwent multiple surgeries. Although the stability of his vertebrae was restored, he could no longer work as an actor.
When Meng Xiujing got into trouble, Xie Zheng suspected that Meng Xiujing had offended someone and was being targeted.
But she never expected that the person who harmed him was Zhou Yaoguang!
Zhou Yaoguang downplayed the issue, saying, "What we're discussing now is that you broke your promise to me first."
"You promised you wouldn't take on any sex scenes, and you broke your promise first. Do you know how my friends in the industry are laughing at me because of what happened between you and Meng Xiujing?"
"They call me 'Generous Brother' in private!"
"Xie Zheng, you betrayed our relationship first!"
Xie Zheng was so angry she laughed. "I'm an actress. Intimate scenes are part of the plot. Besides, when we were filming, there were more than a dozen people around us, and two or three cameras were filming us. Could he and I really strip naked and do it?"
"We were all dressed up when the camera wasn't looking!"
"But I still can't accept it!"
Anger, jealousy, possessiveness...
Overwhelmed by a torrent of negative emotions, Zhou Yaoguang went completely insane. He blurted out, "I feel disgusted just thinking about you being pinned down by another man!"
Snapped!
Xie Zheng slapped Zhou Yaoguang hard across the face on the spot.
The slap knocked Zhou Yaoguang's head to the side and swelled his face.
It also cleared his confused mind.
When Zhou Yaoguang saw the tears in Xie Zheng's eyes, he belatedly realized how hurtful his words had been.
"Zhengbao, I just lost control of my anger, you..."
"People only speak their minds when they lose control." Xie Zheng smiled self-deprecatingly. "So you're just like your father, looking down on me just the same."
Zhou Yaoguang emphasized weakly, "I really didn't think that way about you!"
Xie Zheng did not believe Zhou Yaoguang's explanation.
The words that are spoken, the water that is poured out.
Damage can't be undone.
Xie Zheng's heart was riddled with wounds.
Looking at the man she had loved for six years, Xie Zheng couldn't tell whether she felt disappointed or ironic.
“Zhou Yaoguang! You’ve only known me for 8 years! But I’ve been an actress for 12 years! Long before you pursued me, I was already a rising star actress.”
"You clearly think I'm dirty, yet you still go and provoke me. What kind of lowly thing are you made of?"
The seemingly perfect goddess Xie Zheng is actually a rose with thorns, and she can be ruthless when she starts to scold people.
“Zhou Yaoguang. It’s obvious that you’re tired of this relationship, can’t control your penis, and want to seek excitement.”
"You messed with my best friend, and then you tried to manipulate me. You're the one who disgusts me!"
...
Zhou Yaoguang was both angry and helpless after being scolded by Xie Zheng.
“You’re emotional right now, so nothing you say counts.” Zhou Yaoguang refused to communicate with Xie Zheng in this state.
He said, "We'll talk again once you've calmed down."
"But you must not mention breaking up again." This was Zhou Yaoguang's bottom line. He reminded Xie Zheng, "Zhengbao, don't do anything to anger me."
"I will explain Xie Jiaoyue's matter to you, but I don't want to hear you say 'break up' again."
Zhou Yaoguang put the ring on his little finger and said, "I'll return it to you next time we meet."
He was afraid that Xie Zheng would throw away the engagement ring in anger.
Zhou Yaoguang called over a bodyguard and instructed him, "Take Miss Xie home."
After a pause, Zhou Yaoguang added, "Miss Xie is not allowed to leave the house without my permission."
"Zhou Yaoguang, are you going to put me under house arrest?" Xie Zheng found it incomprehensible.
Zhou Yaoguang gave her a deep look and said bluntly, "You are an untamed wild leopard. I have spent six years trying to teach you to bow your head."
"Zhengbao, I can't afford to gamble."
He was afraid that if he made a mistake, Xie Zheng would run away.
That was an outcome that Zhou Yaoguang absolutely could not accept.
