Depressed wife runs with the ball

Even without seeing any information, I could already guess that he had been planning this project for over a year. It was indeed his idea for the Youth Arts Festival, and he had the Investment and Planning Departments conduct six months of research, revised various plans numerous times, and prepared for a year with government applications, filings, and securing venues.

"Yueyue, the art festival does want to prove something to my father, but the original purpose was also for you. Although it's not so pure, but..."

"However, we also weighed the interests of many parties." Chu Yue couldn't help but interrupt. No matter what the original purpose was, the result was this.

After finishing her meal, she put down her chopsticks and bowl. She didn't want to argue with him, she just wanted to analyze things rationally. Besides, she was still sleepy.

Zhou Xingzhi felt somewhat dejected. Ever since their encounter three years ago, he had hoped to run into her again. After taking over the group, he had hoped to lure her into the grand art festival. However, before the festival even began, she had already appeared in the Xinghui Building.

He was speechless. "You must be very angry, right?" He ate the food in his bowl, suddenly losing his appetite.

Chu Yue shook her head. When she first understood the situation, she was indeed angry, but even more angry was that she was mentally making excuses for him. "Zhou Xingzhi, I'm not mad at you. I didn't answer the video you sent me that day. I called you later and said I missed you so much. It was because that day, I heard the mayor's secretary say that Xinghui was truly gaining both fame and fortune, and then I finally understood what was going on with the art festival. But, I didn't even think about how to blame you. At that moment, I realized that I seemed to be truly in love with you, not just liking you."

Hearing this, Zhou Xingzhi felt a mixture of emotions, his heart suddenly soaring to the horizon of the sea of ​​clouds. After more than three years of waiting, he finally got his wish. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and with a trembling hand, he poured himself a glass of water from the kettle.

"Have you...finished your meal?" After drinking the water, he looked at the leftovers on the table, feeling a little nervous.

"Well, I'm done eating." Chu Yue stood up and prepared to sit on the sofa for a while before going back to his room to sleep.

Zhou Xingzhi suddenly grabbed her wrist and met her gaze: "Yueyue, wait a moment."

Chu Yue was a little confused. What were you waiting for? "I, I'll wash some fruit for you. Wait for me on the sofa." He pulled her and sat her on the sofa. He wiped his hands on both sides of his trouser pockets nervously and went to the kitchen to peel a pineapple for her.

Chu Yue sat on the sofa, watching him busy in the kitchen. He was wearing home clothes, slightly bent over, and carefully cutting a pineapple. After they met, he seemed to admit his mistakes frequently.

"Don't cut too much, I can't eat much." She put on her slippers and went to the cloakroom to change into her home clothes.

Zhou Xingzhi cut up the pineapple, placed it on the coffee table, and began to clear the table. "Yueyue, don't fall asleep. There's still fruit left." He shouted in the kitchen.

Chu Yue changed and came out. "Why don't you let me sleep?" She picked up the pineapple on the table and ate it slowly. "Is it delicious?" Zhou Xingzhi threw the dishes into the dishwasher, walked out, and carried the plate of fruit to the sofa and placed it on the coffee table.

"What are you doing?" Chu Yue was still eating when he took her meal away. She followed him with a toothpick, staring at him eagerly. "Is it delicious?" He put it on the coffee table and handed her another piece.

"Well. Try it." Chu Yue handed the remaining half of the pineapple to his mouth. "Okay." He stepped over the piece of pineapple and kissed her lips directly.

"Hmm..." That's why they wouldn't let me sleep. "You go first... on the balcony..." The pineapple in her hand fell to the ground, and the toothpick was still in her hand. Zhou Xingzhi took the toothpick from her hand, stood up, and held her up with both hands.

"You're not doing your job properly." Chu Yue buried her head in his arms and complained shyly.

"It's been more than ten days, and this is the real work. Think about me in your heart, and think about me even more with your body." He put the person on the bed and pounced on the softness he had been thinking about day and night.

......

After the song ended, Chu Yue curled up in the quilt and fell asleep. Zhou Xingzhi leaned against her back and whispered in her ear, "Yueyue, I love you too."

"Hmm~" The person under the quilt was a little impatient, moved out and continued to sleep. Hearing that "hmm", the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. Perhaps it was time to start preparing for the proposal, and he should also take time to go and see the new house.

On Sunday daytime, Zhou Xingzhi was busy with work, while Chu Yue was painting in the living room.

She sat on the chair, thinking about whether she should bring some gifts when she went to his house for dinner in the evening. Although they had met before, it was always under the name of work. This time she was going to meet him formally as his girlfriend.

The people working in the study always felt like something was missing, and they began to get distracted by the text in the documents. Seeing the box of Lego, he stood up and walked to the living room, standing behind her, looking at the painting.

"What? Are you looking for something I did wrong at work?" She was coloring the line drawing.

Looking closely, it was a cartoon. It looked a bit like him, but with a mustache, a sharper chin, an old black hat, and strange eyebrows.

Several workers surrounded him and couldn't help but frown and asked, "What is this?"

Chu Yue was speechless, and he murmured for a long time with a guilty conscience, but couldn't utter a word.

"The painting is not finished yet. Have you finished your work?" I didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so I could only change the subject.

Zhou Xingzhi then remembered the purpose of his coming out, took the pen from her hand, and pushed the easel into the study.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Chu Yue sat on the stool, facing the disappearing easel, not knowing what he was going to do.

Zhou Xingzhi came out and took the stool away, explaining, "Go to the study to paint."

Go to the study to paint? Then you know she is painting this Zhou Paopi? "I just paint for fun." Following her to the study, she didn't want to paint anymore.

"Paint here. When I finish my work, I'll take you home for dinner." Zhou Xingzhi pushed her onto the stool and put the paintbrush in her hand.

"Should I buy some things when we get back to your house?" This should be considered a formal meeting with his parents.

"No need, just have a meal, my brother and sister-in-law will come back too. Don't you have a painting in your office? Just bring it over next time." Zhou Xingzhi could finally work with peace of mind.

Since he said so, I won't prepare it. "Xingzhi, don't you feel that your sister-in-law is a little pitiful?" She moved her chair and moved closer to him.

"I feel sorry for myself. The boss is at work and the special assistant is supervising him." Zhou Xingzhi was still typing in front of the computer. He didn't really want to talk about his sister-in-law and brother.

This made Chu Yue laugh, and the mood of the people working there also improved.

Before going out that night, she deliberately chose a set of clothes that looked elegant. A gray one-shoulder long-sleeved top, a ribbon tied around her neck, and her denim canvas bag slung over her shoulder, she looked like a true artistic heroine.

"It's cold, put on a coat." Zhou Xingzhi felt that the shoulders were too dazzling.

"Where is it cold? The weather is getting hot." Chu Yue even turned around and showed off in front of him.

"Then change into something new, since you're meeting your elders. Wear this one later." He took out a Dior dress he had prepared for her.

"No! Just this one, hurry up, let's go out!" Chu Yue found that every time a little bit of her skirt or top was exposed, he would cover it up and say something.

Zhou Xingzhi had no choice but to put on his vest and let her do as she pleased. Back home, there weren't many outsiders around.

This seemed like the first time she had stepped into their home. Chu Yue was a little nervous and unconsciously tightened her grip on his hand. Coming out of the garage, they had to climb a few steps before entering the courtyard. Someone was cleaning the courtyard. Seeing Zhou Xingzhi, they stopped what they were doing, bowed slightly, and called out, "Mr. Zhou."

The plants in the courtyard must be pruned year-round. Surrounding it is a mountainous landscape, with the city at the foot of the mountain. The last time I was there, the courtyard didn't seem this large. An old woman at the door saw someone from a distance and called out to the house, "Xingzhi is back."

"Are there so many people in your house?" Chu Yue was so nervous that her palms were sweating. "Dad, Mom, brother and sister-in-law, you've seen them all before, why are you so nervous? It's just a meal." Zhou Xingzhi patted her hand and held it on her wrist.
