I felt inexplicably ashamed facing the strange looks from my colleagues.

Is this Zhou Minghe’s counterattack against me?

Many gossipy colleagues came to me and asked about my relationship with Zhou Minghe, and they always believed that I was pregnant with his child.

Then he whispered beside me, saying that he finally understood why I was assigned to be his assistant and why he took such good care of me. It turned out that we were a couple.

After my relationship was exposed, my work was not affected much, but my ability was denied. They all thought that I got into the company through connections.

At the end of the working day, Zhou Minghe called me on the internal line and said, "Don't leave after work. Come out to dinner with me."

I was not quite used to him suddenly speaking to me in such a domineering tone.

"Are you having any business engagements tonight?" I looked at the schedule next to me and found nothing planned for tonight.

"No, I just want to go out with you for some romance." Zhou Minghe's voice came lazily.

"Okay." Thinking that I had made him angry these past two days, I should apologize to him. If he needed me to have dinner with him, I would agree obediently.

After Zhou Minghe turned off the computer, he came over and knocked on my office door.

I packed my things and walked out.

"What's wrong? Does making our relationship public cause you trouble?" Zhou Minghe asked me as he walked towards the elevator.

"A little bit." I nodded. "But they are all good things."

Zhou Minghe raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

I replied, "Before, it took some effort to get the signatures of those department heads, but now it's not necessary."

Zhou Minghe curled the corners of his lips.

Sitting in his sports car, Zhou Minghe drove towards the city center. The tall buildings outside the window showed the prosperity and uniqueness of this city.

The faces and skin colors outside the window are different, but everyone gathers in this big city with dreams. I can't help but sigh in my heart. I never thought that in two years, I went from being a female worker in an electronics factory to stumbling into this financial world. It was like a dream.

Zhou Minghe parked the car in the parking space and turned around to open the door for me. The sports car was too low, so I had to work hard to get out.

"You're in the late stage of pregnancy now, so it might not be very convenient for you to move around." Zhou Minghe looked at my gradually bulging belly, and there was heartache in his words.

"We have to go through this process anyway. It's bearable for now." I smiled at him.

"What about childbirth?" Zhou Minghe closed the car door and turned to look at her. "I heard that giving birth is like stepping halfway into death for a woman. Jingjing, you're pregnant with twins. To be safe, do you want a caesarean section? That way, at least you won't have to suffer any less."

Regarding childbirth, I did read some books. Whether a natural birth is possible requires comprehensive consideration, including whether the fetal position is suitable.

"Well, I'll think about it." I nodded.

Zhou Minghe walked towards the elevator in silence. I followed him. He suddenly stopped and said angrily, "It's okay to be pregnant, but why twins? How much damage will this do to your body? Has Su Beicheng considered this?"

I was stunned. Zhou Minghe's nameless anger seemed to be directed at Su Beicheng.

I smiled bravely: "This is not something that can be decided by humans, there is no need for you to be angry."

"If anything happens to you, I will never let him go." Zhou Minghe's face turned ashen and he was furious.

I was stunned and subconsciously tightened my handbag: "No, there won't be any accidents."

Seeing my pale face, Zhou Minghe had to change the subject: "What do you want to eat?"

"I can do anything." My mind was in a trance. The closer I got to the due date, the more uneasy I felt. I thought of the scene in my previous life when I had to give birth to my six-month-old child. The anesthesia didn't work, it was heartbreaking, I was lying on the delivery bed in that small hospital, I almost couldn't get off, my eyes were full of blood, and my scalp numbed just thinking about it.

Zhou Minghe arranged a French meal in a romantic and warm dining environment, with candlelight and roses, and a violin playing moving music next to it.

I used to be allergic and uncomfortable in this kind of romantic atmosphere, but I don’t know when it started, I seem to feel that there is nothing to be afraid of and I can just enjoy it quietly.

After dinner, Zhou Minghe glanced at my fingers and said, "Starting tomorrow, remember to wear the diamond ring I gave you last time."

I was slightly surprised and looked at him.

I saw Zhou Minghe raised his finger. On his middle finger was the same ring as mine, which made his hand look slender and beautiful with distinct joints.

"From now on, no matter what the occasion, you can't take off the diamond ring I gave you without reason. Remember?" Zhou Minghe demanded domineeringly and forcefully.

I pursed my lips and smiled: "What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly so domineering?"

Zhou Minghe's eyes were gloomy. "Because I like you, there is no need to hide it anymore. No matter how others fall in love, we can't miss out."

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was Zhou Minghe feeling insecure again? I heard that only insecure people have a strong need for attention from others.

"Okay, I agree." Thinking about the past two days, Zhou Minghe has been angry and even had no mind to do his work, I don't want to make him unhappy again.

Maybe it was because I was well-behaved that Zhou Minghe felt much better. After dinner, we strolled along the street and didn’t return home until 9:30 in the evening.

"Where is my key?" Zhou Minghe followed me into my door, glanced at the cabinet next to him, and asked.

I turned around, found his key in the closet, and handed it to him: "When you threw the key down last time, I thought you wouldn't consider this your home anymore."

"That's exactly what I think." Zhou Minghe said sullenly.

I pursed my lips and smiled.

Zhou Minghe narrowed his eyes and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"I thought you would ignore me anymore." I stopped smiling and said seriously.

"What will you do if I ignore you?" Zhou Minghe approached me.

"I don't know." A flicker of unease crossed my face. "I might be scared."

"What are you afraid of? You are now a person the company values. Even if I ignore you, your position in the company will not be affected." Zhou Minghe said with a snort.

I lowered my eyes, a hint of fear in my voice: "I don't know either, but in America, you are the person I trust the most and the person I rely on the most. If you ignore me, I will be at a loss."

At this moment, I have to admit defeat. Of course, this is also one of my green tea tactics. Men like to be admired, needed, and dependent on by women.

I believe Zhou Minghe would also fall for this, it’s just the nature of men.

"Do you understand how important I am now?" Zhou Minghe was indeed moved by my pitiful expression. He reached out and smoothed the hair by my ear. "Don't hurt my feelings next time. Actually, I've been feeling bad these past couple of days. I always feel like, how could a relationship I took seriously be so easily dismissed?"

I took the opportunity to lean into his arms and said softly, "I'm sorry, but if I don't agree to your mother's request, she might kick me out of the company immediately, and it will also cause discord between you and me."

"So, you still care about me?" Zhou Minghe gritted his teeth and laughed angrily.

"I'm thinking about us." I said sincerely.

Zhou Minghe looked helpless and lowered his head to kiss me on the lips: "I know, I know you are a coward."

"I'm not." I pretended to be angry: "I'm not a coward, I just... don't want things to get worse and out of control."

Zhou Minghe kissed me again, lingering for a long time, pinching my cheek and saying, "You must have practiced Tai Chi in your previous life, so you know how to balance things."

I:"…"

Just then, my cell phone suddenly rang. I took a look and the number looked familiar.

Zhou Minghe glanced at me and said, "Just answer it if you want. Just remember, you are my girlfriend now."

I picked up the phone and answered it. Su Beicheng's voice came through with a hint of anger: "Are you married to Zhou Minghe?"

My expression trembled, and I quickly said, "Why do you ask that?"

Su Beicheng's voice trembled. "When were those wedding photos on his Weibo taken?"

I was stunned and looked up at Zhou Minghe, who was sitting on the sofa like a big boss. "What wedding photos? I don't know."

Zhou Minghe smiled lazily, "So Mayor Su saw my Weibo post. Jingjing, have you forgotten the photos we took when we were fulfilling our vows in Hangzhou?"

When I heard this, I was confused. Zhou Minghe actually posted those photos on his Weibo. Why did he do that?
