Chapter 72 The Truth of That Night

Su Xi: "..." Shameless dog of a man.

She freed one hand and placed it on the sofa, trying to distance herself from Zhou Jingming, but accidentally snagged on something and pulled it out with a bit of force.

Holy crap!

Su Xi was stunned!

A woman's thong is too provocative.

"Young Master Zhou, you're really something else. You always make women wear these things to please you?" Su Xi pushed the man away and pulled the underwear out from under the sofa.

Zhou Jingming: "Why don't you change into it too?"

"roll!"

Su Xi really wasn't in the mood to play with him. She straightened her clothes, tossed her hair, and stood up.

Zhou Jingming hugged him from behind again. "What's wrong? Are you angry?"

"No."

Zhou Jingming laughed nonchalantly, "Is that because you're jealous?"

Su Xi pushed his hand away, turned around and faced him. "Zhou Jingming, I'm actually quite curious, what kind of woman can truly make you settle down?"

Zhou Jingming countered, "Then what kind of man do you like? Like Lin Ye?"

The two ignored each other for a few seconds.

No one spoke first.

Finally, Zhou Jingming spoke first, "Isn't it good to live life like a game, living as you please?"

Su Xi had already anticipated his response and answered his question, "Lin Ye is mature and steady, a good man suitable for entrusting one's life to; no woman would dislike him."

Zhou Jingming asked playfully, "And you, do you like him?"

He asked this question several times, but Su Xi never gave a direct answer.

He wanted to know what she really thought about Lin Ye.

Su Xi pursed her lips. To be honest, her relationship with Lin Ye was extraordinary. Any discussion of their relationship would be a disservice to their years of friendship.

However, since Zhou Jingming wants to know, she can tell him.

"Do you remember the year Su Rou first went missing? My mother made me kneel on Su Rou's longevity tablet to repent. That night, it was windy, rainy, and thundering. I was very scared. Lin Ye secretly climbed in through the window and stayed with me all night."

Zhou Jingming's hand brushed across her brow bone, his eyes unreadable. "So that's when you started liking him?"

Su Xi didn't say anything.

When she was a child, she was afraid of the dark and also afraid of thunder.

That night, the room was completely dark, but Lin Ye's appearance brought her warmth.

From then on, she treated Lin as family.

Zhou Jingming's hand landed on the beauty mark at the corner of her eye, and he teased, "What if the person who came tonight wasn't Lin Ye?"

Su Xi lifted her eyelids and stared at Zhou Jingming for a long time. "Although I can't see his face clearly, I won't mistake his aura."

Zhou Jingming released her and bent down to button up his shirt one button at a time. "Are you that confident?"

"Otherwise what?" Su Xi retorted.

Zhou Jingming finished tidying up and sat on the sofa, casually resting his hands on the back of the chair. "You're right, it's Lin Ye."

Su Xi wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Zhou Jingming's words had a hidden meaning.

Just as he was about to say something, Zhou Jingming picked up his phone and made a call.

Hearing the man's amused laughter, Su Xi roughly knew that it was a woman calling.

"Then you go ahead with your work, I'll head back now." Su Xi turned and walked out of the office.

As soon as the figure disappeared through the doorway, Zhou Jingming immediately hung up the phone, staring at the door with a grim expression.

Shortly after, Si Nan entered.

Zhou Jingming tossed him the women's underwear from the sofa. "Such heavy tastes? Hmm?"

"No, isn't this your favorite?" Si Nan asked, looking confused.

Half an hour ago, Zhou Jingming asked him to get a set of women's underwear. He thought that Zhou Shao was playing for excitement and had his subordinates buy it from an adult store.

Three-point style.

Wild and spicy enough.

That suits Young Master Zhou's taste perfectly.

To create an atmosphere, he even hid his clothes inside the sofa, planning to play a secret game.

But Zhou Shao doesn't seem too satisfied with his expression.

Could it be...?

Isn't this outfit sexy enough?

"If you don't like it, I'll have someone buy you an even more exciting one," Si Nan said, turning to leave.

Zhou Jingming called out to him, "Has Xi'er left?"

"You should be gone by now, right? What, not enough fun yet? Planning to call you back for a second round?" Si Nan grinned mischievously. "That's Zhou Shao for you, he really knows how to play the game."

Zhou Jingming lit a cigarette, said nothing, hooked his suit jacket over the chair with one hand, and strode out.

Si Nan asked, "Don't you want your pajamas anymore?"

"Keep it for yourself!"

The man disappeared through the door in a few steps. Si Nan was completely baffled; he seemed to understand Zhou Jingming less and less.

It seems that after registering his marriage with Su Xi, he has become inexplicably strange.

Su Xi went downstairs and was passing by a private room when she suddenly heard someone call out "Lin Ye". She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a group of people sitting and drinking in the private room directly opposite her.

Lin sat in the middle, wearing a white shirt and dark gray casual pants, looking refined, elegant, and handsome.

She didn't recognize any of the men around him.

A few of the girls looked somewhat familiar.

She looks like a nurse at the hospital.

It seems to be a department dinner.

It wasn't appropriate for Su Xi to go in at this time, so she turned to leave. Suddenly, she heard someone ask Lin Ye, "Dr. Lin, do you have a girlfriend?"

Lin smiled gently, "No."

"No way, Dr. Lin is so outstanding, with superb medical skills and a young and promising career. So many young women in our hospital have a crush on you, and there must be quite a few girls pursuing you."

"Tell me honestly, aren't you being too picky?"

Su Xi clearly saw Lin Ye's gaze sweep over her, a strange glint flashing beneath his gold-rimmed glasses.

He saw her.

Just as I was about to greet him, Lin suddenly said, "However, I already have someone I like."

Who is it?

The entire audience gasped in surprise.

Lin Ye smiled slightly, "She is kind and beautiful, a unique existence."

"Hey..." a colleague teased, "Does this girl know you like her?"

Lin also picked up his drink, took a sip, and laughed self-deprecatingly, but did not respond.

Those present were all experienced people, and they generally understood that Lin Ye had a crush on him.

When the female colleague learned that Lin also had someone he liked, she was disappointed and sad just a moment ago, but when she heard that Lin also had a crush on someone, her eyes quickly lit up again.

"Dr. Lin is a good person and deserves to be liked by everyone. If that girl doesn't like Dr. Lin, it must be because she has bad taste."

Lin pushed up his glasses, and when he looked up at the door again, Su Xi was nowhere to be seen.

Feeling incredibly stifled, he raised his head, downed the strong liquor in front of him, and slapped himself in the face.

Su Xi left after receiving a call from Fu Yu, to report on the situation at the small villa.

"Boss, we've found out. The owner of that villa is named Lei Xiao. He immigrated abroad five years ago, and the villa is currently vacant and uninhabited."

Su Xi narrowed her eyes.

Since no one lives there, it's really a coincidence that Zhou Jingming appeared inside.

"I understand, thank you for your hard work."

Su Xi felt an inexplicable sense of irritability.

She had never felt this way before, and she didn't even know why.
