Mei had never dared to speak of these things to anyone. Even during the few days in the capital city when she was with Song Ning and others every day, she did not reveal a single thing.

Especially whenever she looked at Zhou Ru's innocent appearance, she felt a vague sense of shame.

I don’t know what Zhou Ru would think if she knew that her father had an unclear relationship with her good friend. Would she think that her motives in being friends with her were not pure, just to get close to her father one day?

Mei held her forehead with her hand in worry. She thought, although this was not what she wanted, if she finally revealed it to Zhou Ru, even if Zhou Ru didn't think of her that way, their sisterhood would probably become less pure.

She treats you as a sister, but you have an unclear relationship with her father. It’s a headache just thinking about it.

The two maids were chatting away, but seeing that their master was not listening at all, they were lost in thought as to what they did not know.

In recent days, their young lady has been like this often. Sometimes she would be in a trance for a long time and couldn't even get a good rest. When asked, she wouldn't say what's wrong, which made the two maids very worried.

Mei's complicated mood began when the servant from Zhou's residence brought her local specialties and lasted until night.

When she came back from the accounting office after looking at the account books, she sent two maids downstairs to rest, and went back to the main house, sitting alone in the outer room for a long time.

Looking at the table, the fruits that she had washed in the afternoon were still there. She picked up one and started eating.

Suddenly, a familiar voice, with a hint of joy, came from the inner room, "Do you like these fruits?"

Mei was startled, and tried to choke herself. She stood up abruptly and looked towards the inner room, where she saw Zhou Huan lifting the beaded curtain and walking out slowly.

"You, what are you doing..." She lowered her voice very low for fear of being heard.

Why is this guy like this again? Does he think breaking into boudoirs at night is a common thing? He's like a pervert.

Like master, like subordinates. With Zhou Huan's ability, he doesn't know martial arts, so he can't do things like climbing over eaves and walls to enter the courtyard by himself. But he has a capable subordinate like Zhou Yin, so these things are easy for him.

Mei couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and ashamed. The other party's behavior was really too reckless, but she couldn't even say a harsh word.

"Manager Zhou, what exactly do you want?" She thought that perhaps they could sit down and have a good talk.

Zhou Huan didn't consider himself an uninvited guest at all. He walked to the chair on the other side and sat down. "I thought I made it clear enough last time."

Mei calmed down and turned away, saying, "Manager Zhou, what I said last time was clear enough. Please go back! I will pretend that you have never been here tonight."

Zhou Huan heard this and paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "You should know that I am not a person who gives up easily. If I give up easily because of a rejection from others, I will not be the Shopkeeper Zhou you call me."

Last time, after he made his feelings clear, he knew that he must have scared her, so that she rejected him without even thinking about it.

However, it was her business if she refused, and he didn't agree.

Mei felt a little helpless. Why did this man pester her?

"Boss Zhou, this kind of thing requires mutual consent. Why do you have to do this?" She tried to pull Zhou Ru out to dissuade him from this idea. "Sister Ru and I are sisters. In fact, we are of different generations! If Sister Ru knew about this, have you ever thought about how to behave in front of her in the future?"

"So, don't mention it again. I'll pretend you never said it."

When Zhou Ru was mentioned, Zhou Huan was embarrassed for a moment, but he also heard a key point in her words.

"So, your biggest concern is because of the father-daughter relationship between Ru'er and me? If we didn't have this relationship, would you consider this matter?"

"I didn't say that." Mei denied hastily without thinking, as if escaping from the truth. She stood up and walked into the inner room, opened the window and ordered him to leave. "Manager Zhou, you'd better leave quickly! It's not right for you to do this."

Zhou Yin, who was guarding outside the window, was caught off guard by Mei's angry eyes. He coughed twice awkwardly, looked away, turned in another direction and continued guarding.

He didn't want to stay here, but he had to be loyal to the man he worked for, so he had to bite the bullet and do it.

He didn't expect that this gentleman, at his age, would play more lavishly than young people. Besides feeling inferior to him, he also admired him extremely.

When Mei saw Zhou Yin waiting outside, she became even more annoyed. It was ridiculous for this man to break into the boudoir at night. It would be fine if he was alone, but he even brought his subordinates with him. Was he afraid that his subordinates didn't know about this?

Even though she was no longer a virgin, if a man from another world broke into her bedroom late at night and the news got out, it would only ruin her reputation.

Although she herself doesn't have a good reputation, that doesn't mean she can tolerate others not taking her reputation seriously.

Mei thought deeply and felt that this man broke into her boudoir late at night without considering her situation at all. The feeling of grievance that had been suppressed deep in her heart suddenly surged up.

She lowered her head and said with a little resentment unconsciously: "Although I have a bad reputation, I am not a casual woman. Shopkeeper Zhou has a large family and a large business, so he can have any woman he wants. Why bother with a divorced woman like me?"

Zhou Huan heard the emotion in her words, sighed, walked closer to her, and stood in front of her, "Do you think that I am just in a momentary mood and playing with you?"

Mei turned sideways again and remained silent. Not denying it meant she agreed.

Zhou Huan almost laughed out of anger. So this is how she saw him in her heart?

Looking at her stubborn figure leaning to the side, Zhou Huan directly turned her over and held her shoulders.

Before he could say anything, Mei started to struggle in panic, "What are you going to do? Let me go."

However, no matter how she struggled, the other person's big hands holding her shoulders did not move at all, and she could not break free.

"Boss Zhou, I know I am just a weak woman. If you really want to force me, I can't resist at all. But a man can be killed but not humiliated. I can't decide your choice, but I can decide my own choice."

Her tone was very resolute, which made Zhou Huan feel that if he really did something to her at this moment, the consequences would definitely not be what he wanted to see.
