My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

What do you think of me? Lu Xiaoqiao didn't know what he was asking specifically, but since he asked her, she always had to say the nicest thing: "I think Mr. Zhou is a very good person. You are gentle, polite, warm-hearted, and you love to help others."

Hearing Lu Xiaoqiao say this, Zhou Qizhen didn't understand for a moment whether she was praising him or scolding him.

Warmhearted? If anyone in the business world who knew Zhou Qizheng heard this, they would probably think he was crazy.

He was able to reach his current position. Although he could not be called a bad person, he was definitely not gentle, polite and warm-hearted.

As for his love of helping others, no one except her could make him lose his mind and help others time and time again.

"What about other aspects?"

"What aspect? Are you talking about looks or something else? If that's the case, then there's nothing to say. Mr. Zhou, you're handsome, capable, and have a good family background. You're also kind to the younger generation. Lin Lin often praises you in front of me, saying how lucky she is to have an uncle like you. I even said that I envy her for having an uncle like you!"

Of course, Lin Lin had complained to her many times about how serious and picky her uncle was, but she couldn't say that.

Zhou Qizheng's fingers rubbed the steering wheel unconsciously. Her first words sounded pleasant to the ear, but the latter part...

"Oh!" He chuckled. He had been busy for a long time, but the little girl still treated him as an elder. How could this be possible? He was unwilling and would not agree. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "I don't want to be your uncle."

"what?"

Looking at her innocent and ignorant look, Zhou Qizheng sighed softly, raised his eyes and stared into her eyes, and said seriously: "Can't you see? I like you."

Seeing that she was about to speak, he interrupted her again: "It's not the love between elders and younger people, it's the love between lovers."

Lu Xiaoqiao was not sure whether she was shocked or frightened by his words. Her face was full of disbelief. Her hands unconsciously clenched the wet wipes in her hands and she stammered, "You...are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious. I know this might come as a surprise to you, but I still want to say it."

Lu Xiaoqiao was a little overwhelmed: "I, I don't think we are suitable."

He followed up by asking, "What's inappropriate about it? I think we're a good match. Do you think it's inappropriate because of my age?"

"No."

"So you hate me?"

"I don't hate it." Lu Xiaoqiao shook his head.

"But apart from this, we really don't fit in any other way. Our family background and social status are not suitable."

Hearing her say that she didn't dislike him and it wasn't because of age issues, Zhou Qizhen felt relieved. The words had been spoken and he didn't have to hide his feelings anymore. His eyes were full of sincerity and affection as he looked at her.

"You haven't even given me a chance, so how do you know we're not suitable? What I mean is, let's give it a try first. If you feel like you really can't like me, then tell me. What do you think?"

Lu Xiaoqiao was in a state of confusion at the moment and didn't dare to look up at his eyes.

She didn't hate him, and she admitted in her heart that he was a very good and excellent person, but it was because he was too excellent, so excellent that for an ordinary person like her, being with him would feel a kind of pressure. For her, they were a perfect match.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Zhou Qizheng continued, "My father and sister both know what I mean, and they agree. I promise you, whether now or in the future, I will never let you suffer any grievances in this regard." Finally, he asked cautiously, "Is that okay?"

The more sincere Zhou Qizhen's words were, the more pressured she felt, as if she would be ungrateful if she didn't agree to him.

But she had never thought of their relationship in that way. She wanted to say that she had always regarded him as her elder, but she had just finished saying that it was not a matter of age. Now she didn't know how to respond, so she just perfunctorily replied: "I, I'll go back and think about it."

I could tell him on WeChat that it was not appropriate, and neither of them would feel embarrassed. After he finished speaking, he was about to open the car door and get out, but it didn't open after two attempts.

He turned to look at Zhou Qizheng in the driver's seat: "The door won't open."

"Think about it now. I'll give you five minutes."

Lu Xiaoqiao: “…”

"What can you think about in five minutes? I'm mad at you for doing this!"

Hearing her say this, Zhou Qizhen unlocked the car reluctantly.

Seeing the car door unlocked, Lu Xiaoqiao hurriedly opened the door and got out. Zhou Qizheng followed suit and said, "Give me a deadline. How long do I need to think about it?"

Lu Xiaoqiao stopped at the stairs, turned around, and said with lowered eyelashes, "I'll tell you on WeChat later."

Zhou Qizheng took a few steps forward and said, "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow and will be back in three days. Can we meet and talk about it then?"

"Let's talk about it later!" This time she ran upstairs without even looking back.

Lu Xiaoqiao ran all the way to the fourth floor. When she opened the door, she saw her two roommates watching TV in the living room.

"You guys haven't slept yet?" Lu Xiaoqiao asked while changing her shoes.

They both looked at her, and Zhao Jia said, "Waiting for you!"

"Oh, Sister Jia, have you and Momo washed up?"

"Zhao Jia and I have finished showering. Xiao Qiao, why is your face so red? Are you cold because you're wearing too little today? I just saw you standing downstairs when I was pulling the curtains. I was wondering why you hadn't come up in such a long time."

"It's okay, not too cold."

She wasn't cold at all. She was obviously frightened by Zhou Qizhen's sudden confession, and a little shy.

But after hearing what Qin Momo said, her already rosy cheeks became even redder.

In order to hide her embarrassment, Lu Xiaoqiao picked up the cup and drank the water, but Zhao Jia's next words made her spit out all the water.

"Mr. Zhou confessed his feelings to you?"

Zhao Jia looked at her flushed little face. The look on her face was as if someone had caught her having an improper relationship with Zhou Qizhen.

"Really? I even made a bet with Zhao Zhizhi. He said that Mr. Zhou would most likely confess his feelings to me on my birthday today. Sure enough, men understand men." He nodded after saying that.

Lu Xiaoqiao was confused: "What?"

"Stupid! Confessing on a birthday has a better chance of success! It's someone's birthday, at least give it a chance!"

"No, I was wondering how you knew him..." Lu Xiaoqiao was a little shy and didn't continue.

Zhao Jia rolled her eyes at her. "You're the only one who can't see it, you little idiot. How can the CEO of a listed company have so much free time to be your driver every other day? He must be after you."

Lu Xiaoqiao sat on the sofa in a daze: "I thought he was being nice to me because of my relationship with Lin Lin."

"If that's the case, he could have just asked the driver to take you there, so he wouldn't have to run back and forth himself."

"By the way, the sisters will all cling to you from now on."

Lu Xiaoqiao pursed his lips and said, "You'd better find someone else to hold me. I think I'm going to disappoint you."

Zhao Jia was surprised and said, "No way! You don't even like Zhou Qizheng?"

Qin Momo also said beside him: "Yes! Xiao Qiao, Mr. Zhou is so outstanding, don't you like him?"

Lu Xiaoqiao sighed, "Ah! We are not from the same world. Besides, I really never thought about it that way. Even if I didn't put him in the position of an elder, I really never thought about him that way."

"That's even worth thinking about! If you don't hold on to such an outstanding man, you'll have plenty of other people thinking about you."

Lu Xiaoqiao said, "Yeah, why would he fall for me when he's so outstanding? It's really strange. Besides my decent looks, what do I have? People of their status and position have no shortage of women, especially beautiful women."

Lu Xiaoqiao leaned back and sprawled out on the sofa. "We can't even eat together. Others are having medium-rare steaks, thin-crust pizzas, and premium red wine, while I'm still worrying about whether to put eggs in my pancakes tomorrow morning. Do you know that? His lighters alone cost over two hundred thousand, and he could buy my life with just one cufflink. He has several of them."

Zhao Jia was so shocked by Lu Xiaoqiao's words that he was speechless for a long time. He said that she was too clear-headed in this regard, which was not what she should be at her age.
