After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

Zhou Yu was startled and paused in his chewing motion. Just as he was about to stand up in the dark, the warm orange light in the restaurant suddenly lit up, and the melodious tune of a violin drifted down.

When Zhou Yu saw the waiter approaching him with a glass of red wine and roses, his heart skipped a beat, and he was completely stunned.

What's the situation?

This is clearly a marriage proposal!

Could it be that Mu Chenxi had planned this all along, intending to give him a grand marriage proposal?

No, Zhou Yu, what are you thinking? Mu Chenxi already gave you a diamond ring before, and you're still wearing it now, worth hundreds of millions.

So what is Mu Chenxi planning to do now?!

Zhou Yu's mind was in complete turmoil. He gritted his teeth and barely managed to calm down. Then he cautiously glanced at Mu Chenxi beside him. The latter sat on the sofa with an unchanged expression, showing no intention of getting up.

Just as Zhou Yu was filled with disbelief, the waiter carrying roses walked past him... He actually bypassed him?!

Zhou Yu froze for a moment, then turned to look behind him.

A waiter presented a young girl with vibrant red roses. Beside the large dining table, the true protagonist of this proposal, dressed in a formal suit, held up an exquisite ring box and, under the envious gazes of everyone, knelt on one knee before the girl.

The balloons and ribbons sprayed down, exuding a youthful, sunny romance and beauty.

The girl covered her mouth in surprise, tears of emotion welling up in her eyes. After a long internal struggle, she finally smiled and handed her hand to the man.

A diamond ring, a promise of lifelong commitment.

Looking at the infinitely romantic and beautiful scene, Zhou Yu stood there stiffly for a long time before awkwardly touching his nose and sitting down again.

His gaze darted around, as if he didn't know where to look.

After his gaze lingered for a while, Zhou Yu took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to them and quietly covered his face with his hands, wishing he could crawl under the table.

He was so delusional; he actually thought that Mu Chenxi had prepared this proposal for him...

I was thinking, how could I let a girl do this?

bah bah bah!

Stop daydreaming. How could a big shot like you possibly be interested in someone like that?

Remember this: your marriage is just a contract!

After Zhou Yu calmed down, he tilted his head and looked at the couple who had successfully held hands. When they looked at each other, the smiles on their faces really showed happiness.

Seeing this beautiful scene, Zhou Yu was even slightly dazed.

Proposing to the one you love and spending your life with the one you truly love must be an incredibly sweet and happy thing, right?

Zhou Yu suddenly thought of himself again, and he suddenly felt a little regretful that he had never experienced it.

Moreover, he has been married several times in his two lifetimes, but he has not yet met the right person. It's a pity to think about it.

However, such things are rare and can only be encountered by chance. Zhou Yu no longer regards love as the main theme of his life.

After finishing their meal, Zhou Yu and Mu Chenxi returned to their car.

After fastening his seatbelt, Zhou Yu sat quietly in the passenger seat, turning his head to look out the window, seemingly lost in thought.

After Mu Chenxi got into the car, she originally wanted to talk to Zhou Yu, but when she saw that the latter was sitting in the passenger seat and seemed to be in a daze, she was slightly taken aback.

What's wrong with him? Is he unhappy?

Could it be because of the proposal scene that just happened...?

Was he envious of Chu?

After thinking silently for a long time, Mu Chenxi tentatively asked the man, "What do you think of the proposal just now?"

Zhou Yu snapped out of his reverie and nodded casually, "Yeah, it's great. It doesn't matter how grand the proposal is, as long as the feelings between the two people are genuine, it's fine no matter what."

Hearing the man's words, Mu Chenxi remained silent.

As long as the feelings between two people are genuine, it doesn't matter how elaborate the arrangements are; anything goes.

Is he implying that their marriage is fake?

Sure enough, this was his truest thought, and he constantly reminded each other that their relationship was just a transaction.

Thinking of this, Mu Chenxi's eyes dimmed slightly.

After the car drove into the villa, Zhou Yu unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car first.

After stopping, Zhou Yu subconsciously turned around, but when he saw Mu Chenxi park the car and lift the wheelchair out of the back of the car with great strength, his outstretched hand suddenly stopped.

Right, he forgot that Mu Chenxi's leg was perfectly fine.

He even subconsciously wanted to push her... It must be because he had gotten into the habit of fawning over her before.

This is a bad habit; he needs to change it.

Zhou Yu touched his hair, then completely ignored the woman who had just been sitting in a wheelchair waiting for him to push her, and turned and walked away.

Mu Chenxi: "..."

She raised her eyes and stared intently at the man's back until he disappeared at the top of the villa's stairs.

Once Mu Chenxi was completely certain that Zhou Yu wouldn't come back to push her wheelchair, she slumped slightly, then stood up dejectedly and pushed her wheelchair into the villa herself.

As darkness fell, Zhou Yu finished washing up and naturally went into the master bedroom.

Zhou Yu looked up at the empty space beside the bed, his heart filled with complicated emotions.

He has been living in the same room with her these past few days. At first, he felt uncomfortable, but he seems to have gradually gotten used to the feeling of having her by his side.

Is this kind of dependence good or bad...?

After washing his face quickly, Zhou Yu turned off the light and got into bed. He then turned on the bedside nightlight for Mu Chenxi.

It was very late when Mu Chenxi finished her work and walked back to her room from the study.

She thought Zhou Yu should have fallen asleep long ago, but to her surprise, the man who always fell asleep within three minutes was now quietly leaning against the headboard, holding the financial book she usually read, lost in thought.

Mu Chenxi stood tall and graceful at the door. After hesitating for a moment, she finally walked cautiously to the bedside.

Seeing the man's gaze fall on her, Mu Chenxi spoke in a very soft voice, with a rare hint of humility, "Get some rest, you have to get up early for work tomorrow."

Zhou Yu responded and then lay down further inside, making enough room for her. "Yeah, you too."

The bedside lamp was also turned off, and the night was dark and quiet.

Mu Chenxi remained silent, as did Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yuping lay on the bed, quietly staring at the ceiling above him.

He has insomnia!

He usually falls asleep the moment his head hits the pillow, but this is the first time he hasn't been able to fall asleep at all.

Listening to the woman's deliberately soft breathing, Zhou Yu knew that Mu Chenxi was not asleep either. For some reason, he suddenly remembered what had happened a few days ago.

She was sitting in her wheelchair and said she wanted to sleep with him.

If he disagreed with her in any way, she would bring up her two injured legs as an example.

They said that living together would make it easier to take care of her leg.

I don't need his help at all!

In the dead of night, Zhou Yu suddenly spoke, his voice exceptionally clear in the quiet room, "Miss Mu, when is your mother coming over? Let's finish that lovey-dovey act quickly so I can move back to the guest room to sleep."
