Depressed wife runs with the ball

Judging from her attitude, it might take another year or two before we can get married. He didn't answer, but just kept driving.

Given her understanding of him, this attitude was a tacit admission. "I used to have depression, did you know that?" She didn't confess her past because she felt there was no need to expose her scars to others.

"I knew it, I knew it from the beginning. It's because I knew it that I felt more compelled to find you and keep you by my side." He knew it when he rescued her from the sea and saw the bottle of medicine in her bag.

Chu Yue was stunned by these words. How could anyone know that the other person was suffering from depression and still pursue him?

"I didn't know you were a designer at Qucho. The Youth Art Festival was a project I started planning after I resigned and returned to Qiancheng to take over as the president of Xinghui. I thought you, a fine arts graduate, would show up. However, seeing you at that meeting was completely unexpected. Later, I was indeed jealous of Ji Yan and Guo Tongchu who were by your side, so I pulled you over to Xinghui as a special assistant. I kept it a secret from you because I thought your participation in the Youth Art Festival would attract a lot of criticism if you were employed by Xinghui."

"My father didn't agree to hold this youth art festival at first. But when he saw Su Ying hyping up your work online, I played along, saying your paintings would be at the festival and you'd be there in person. He finally agreed to this project after weighing the risks and benefits."

Therefore, at the beginning, he had not thought about acquiring Qucho. "Ji... Ji Yan's father, it has nothing to do with you?" For some reason, she suddenly felt guilty, not for Zhou Xingzhi, but for Ji Yan.

Zhou Xingzhi looked at her, unsure whether he should tell her or not. "Let's talk about it when we get home." He was afraid she wouldn't be able to accept it, so he declined and went home.

How could the CEO of a listed group not be scheming? She just didn't expect that these things had been planned before she even met him.

When he returned to his house, Chu Yue dropped his bag and changed into slippers. There was a red mark on his shoulder because of the backpack.

"Don't you like the bag I prepared for you?" Zhou Xingzhi prepared several sets of clothes for her, and there were also a few bags here. She might wear the clothes, but she had never carried the bag.

"What's wrong with this bag? I bought it with my first salary. It cost 50 yuan and it's very practical." Tomorrow is another day to go to work.

"Don't talk about this, let's talk about Ji Yan." Chu Yue pulled him to sit on the sofa.

"Why do you care so much about Ji Yan? Come here and recharge." He didn't want to say it and wanted to laugh it off and get away with it.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Ji Yan was the first one to know that his father had committed a crime, right?" Chu Yue asked him seriously.

Zhou Xingzhi thought she didn't know and had great trust in this senior brother.

"Yes, it was he who suggested to me to acquire Qucho." Zhou Xingzhi wanted to pick her up and sit her on his lap to recharge.

"So, you and him set up a trap to trick me into Xinghui, right?" She had doubts before, but now that she mentioned it in front of him, she felt wronged, her eyes turned red and tears welled up.

Zhou Xingzhi felt pity for her, picked her up and sat her on his lap, comforting her: "How can it be a lie? At that time, you had many misunderstandings about me and didn't want to pay attention to them. The art festival is about to open, and I have no choice but to do this. What's more, it's a good thing to see your senior brother clearly." He reached out to wipe away the tears that were about to fall for her.

"I know what kind of person my senior brother is better than you. He must have been forced to do this. Why did you lie to me?" Chu Yue was sad, not because of Ji Yan, but because of Zhou Xingzhi.

"I was wrong, but you've always been cold to me, and I can't think of any other solution. Yueyue, I've waited too long, and I don't want to let you go." He looked at her affectionately. "You have depression, and I have emotional cleanliness. We're a perfect match."

Chu Yue's tears stopped immediately. Emotional mysophobia? No wonder he reacted so strongly last time in the hotel.

"How come I didn't see that?" She struggled to get off his lap.

"I'm not lying to you, otherwise why would my mother always doubt my sexual orientation?" Zhou Xingzhi pulled her back and sat closer to him.

Chu Yue simply leaned her head on his chest and laughed twice.

Seeing that she was no longer angry, Zhou Xingzhi finally let go of his worries.

"Did you wear perfume?" She smelled of Longjing tea, which was refreshing and pleasant.

"No, go take a shower and go to bed. You have to go to work tomorrow." She realized something and tried to struggle.

"Don't move. The more you move, the more it reacts." Zhou Xingzhi didn't know when he reacted, he only knew that he needed to cool down at this time.

What's this about emotional cleanliness? It's clearly just high energy!

Why is she so responsive? She can't sit still, and she can't move. Chu Yue froze on his lap, not knowing what to do, but he started to move his hands.

"Zhou Xingzhi, you...don't move." If she didn't struggle, she would become his meal.

"Okay, I won't move. You move later." Zhou Xingzhi picked up the person and walked into the room.

"...I haven't taken a shower yet." Chu Yue huddled in his arms, feeling that he was becoming more and more rogue.

"Wash it after you're done." There was no way he was willing to let her go. For something like this, one must seize every opportunity, and half-hearted consent would be best.

"Stinky flow... um..." Before he could finish his words, he swallowed them into his stomach.

If you don’t want to get married, then just have a good relationship.

On Monday, when Zhou Xingzhi arrived at Xinghui for work, he had his driver drive him downstairs and walked in through the front desk with his men. Chu Yue clearly heard a group of people in the company talking behind him, and the more daring ones were taking pictures with their phones.

Entering the elevator, things finally quieted down. "Zhou Xingzhi, I've noticed that you always like to act first and ask for permission later." Chu Yue broke free from her hand.

"Can't we date openly without getting married?" He just thought that a boyfriend or husband should always have a legitimate status.

"You've already made it public once. You're not usually this high-profile. You're just asserting your sovereignty. Do you really think I'm crazy from being in a relationship? Can't you see?"

That's true. She is so smart that she has seen the purpose of his planning this project without seeing any information about the Youth Art Festival. How could she not guess the reason why he was so high-profile today?

"If you do this again next time, I'll... just ignore you!" Chu Yue thought for a long time before coming up with this unintimidating punishment. Zhou Xingzhi smiled and nodded, accepting the punishment.

"Okay, let's not do this next time." He agreed verbally, but in his heart he was thinking that next time he could just change the format, not holding hands, but just kissing would be fine.

Several projects at the company were waiting for him to make decisions, and Monday mornings were always busy. Around 11:00, Chu Yue's phone kept ringing, but he was in the conference room. Secretary Jiang answered, and it was the receptionist who said a woman named Huang Yunfu was looking for him.

Huang Yunfu was Chu Yue's biological mother. Jiang Tao knew that Zhou Xingzhi had specifically warned them before the Youth Art Festival, yet now he had the audacity to come knocking on their door. After hanging up the phone, he pushed open the conference room door and whispered to his boss, "Assistant Chu's biological mother has come down to the company building." He stood up straight and looked at Chu Yue, who was sitting to the side.

Zhou Xingzhi lowered his head and thought for a while, then said to everyone in the conference room, "Everyone continue. Special Assistant Chu will attend the meeting on my behalf."

Although Chu Yue didn't know what exactly happened, when he saw him step down from the chairman's seat, he sat down calmly and continued the meeting.

Jiang Tao invited the person from the front desk to the president's office, brought him to Zhou Xingzhi, and closed the office door.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm here to look for my daughter, Chu Yue." Huang Yunfu thought her daughter was also in the president's office.

"Just talk to me about Yueyue's matter." Zhou Xingzhi didn't even raise his head, but just flipped through the documents on the desk. When he saw that there was no problem, he signed it.

Huang Yunfu nodded, walked towards the sofa, and sat down. "Yes, given your current relationship, it's the same for you. After all, you will be her master in the future."

These words made Zhou Xingzhi stop what he was doing. What did it mean to be her master from now on?
