Chapter 40

The tears were like pearls, crusading against his cruelty, full of self-consciousness and arbitrariness, but they also proved that there was still a place for him in her heart to a greater or lesser extent.

Human emotions were many, complex, and there was no way for a man who had studied Freud to deny his physical urges, yet at the same time realize the deeper, dusty, undisguised empathy for her bones, and a love so strong that it was suffocating, than the intuitive urges.

“Can’t let go.”

The man with the same heart and mouth no longer said the opposite against his will, and simply and frankly admitted it.

Wen Ning had no idea of the sudden change brewing in Zhou Yinchu, much less the fact that as he engulfed her tears, the skin on her face once again burned hotly.

However, compared to the drastic and erotic movements, this was an unobtrusive one. But more than the drastic, lust-stained gestures, the kisses that touched the teardrops unobtrusively broke into her searing heart.

Immediately afterward, the man rose from her and sat secretly on the edge of the bed.

She couldn’t see his expression, only saw him lighting a cigarette. Tobacco mixed with the original fir smell of his body, the fire grew freely, but in the moment he turned around, instantly extinguished.

He looked like he was making a bet with great interest.

“Wenning, let’s get married.”

No one proposes in bed.

At least, before today, Wen Ning had never heard of such a proposal, never seen it. But it did happen right in front of her eyes-

When Zhou Yinchu brought up the life event of marriage, he didn’t seem as careful as when he was confronted with a copy of his company’s bylaws.

Casually, he opened this mouth.

But he always seemed to have a full grasp of the idea he was proposing, determining that she could not refuse his offer.

Wen Ning guessed that Zhou Yinchu would, as usual, take out his so-called bait again.

And so it was.

Men are always concerned about where her interests lie, and after determining this, they can easily pinpoint her, “I will help with Li Yuanzhe’s lawsuit, and you are not allowed to find another man.”

Wen Ning originally from that gentle steady to get the insatiable, not slack, this moment and like smoke dissipated.

The man is still continuing to speak slowly and methodically: “I do not intend to sign any prenuptial agreement with you.”

Then, a bigger olive branch is thrown out.

A prenup usually defaults to a man protecting his property, limiting her rights and interests in the marriage afterward, and Zhou Yinchu is generous enough to say that the paper clause in his favor is cancelled along with it.

“Zhou Yinchu, what makes you think …… I will definitely agree to you?” Although Wen Ning had been married, and never thought she was in the marriage market, widowed, she could be on equal footing with the diamond king’s Zhou Yinchu, and never had only the qualification of him picking out people, and she herself was generally not so stupid as to push herself into the marriage market in this atmosphere.

Wen Ning couldn’t suppress her inner curiosity, just as many years ago, when Zhou Yinchu stood on the rooftop where the breeze floated, he said to her, “Follow me.”

A top-down command, as if he was always a sure thing.

She got out of bed, not wanting to continue to maneuver with him for a moment, let out the words, regardless of the sullen displeasure on Zhou Yinchu’s face, “I don’t want to marry you.”

It wasn’t completely incomprehensible to her that a woman who had been through a marriage couldn’t think straight and had to step into the same river for a second time.

But she didn’t want to.

She had long since lost her obsession with marriage, and the longing she had in her early twenties had long since faded away.

She was fine with keeping Chuchu, and who knows if she’d want to have a few more children by marrying the man in front of her.

Wen Ning is really difficult to imagine the rich people’s demand for reproduction, especially some of the traditional concepts that must be inherited, if she really brought a child into the door –

It was even more difficult to safeguard Chuchu’s psychological condition.

She clearly said, “I cannot marry you.”

“Why?”

“Your mom used to hate me so much ……” she pushed the problem onto him, remembering the duress she endured on her self-esteem when she took the “100,000 dollars”, buried her head, and spilled out. “A relationship that doesn’t have the blessing of the family won’t bear fruit.”

Zhou Yinchu asked, “Is this the only thing you have to worry about?”

No.

How to make this clear at once.

With the distance between them, she wonders how Zhou Yinchu manages to turn a blind eye every time?

Wasn’t his mother’s hostility the source of it, and many local parents actually supported their children’s early romances in middle school, for the sake of comparable family circumstances and knowledge of their roots?

How could the disparity, the vast difference in finances, possibly make his mother treat her well.

Zhou Yinchu showed more enthusiasm than ever in this matter, “Then you freshen up now, wait for half an hour, I’ll take you to see her.”

“Zhou Yinchu, I don’t mean this.” Wen Ning really didn’t want to go see Mother Zhou.

Saying that she was timid by nature or that she had experienced so many years of society with no gain, she hadn’t even agreed to his marriage proposal, so why should she somehow go to see someone’s mother.

She personally dissected the initial heart of this marriage for him, “You used Li Yuanzhe’s lawsuit as bait, don’t you think that even if we get married, our feelings may not be as pure?”

“If I chose to stay with you on this, wouldn’t I look like a snob?”

The snobbery had been done.

But then again, because of the emotions that perhaps existed and were difficult to talk about, the delusion of a purer love.

Zhou Yinchu tugged the high cold brow, overnight immediately have a countermeasure: “Then change the order, you like I want to marry me, I am upright and kind to help you solve your ex-husband’s problem.”

His party just “proposal”, pressure root did not get her promise, this moment kung fu has begun to call Li Yuanzhe for her “ex-husband”.

Seemingly in the default of his current husband, inviolable identity.

Listen, how arrogant tone.

“Don’t have too many problems between us.” Wen Ning felt that the man in front of her was always too far away from her life to materialize into the dilemma they faced.

“You said.”

“Chulch.”

Wen Ning clearly deliberated on this matter more than ever, “I don’t want him to spend this childhood of his in a parasitic situation ……”

“How about, I move to your house?” For a moment, it seemed as if he was actually considering moving into her old, broken-down house.

“I don’t mean …… that,” Wen Ning really sat with him on the edge of the bed, a rare discussion on the matter, completely forgetting her original lack of hope for marriage, “I don’t think he’ll accept me so quickly to remarry.”

“Then I’ll do his thinking.” Zhou Yinchu was not amused.

There were never more than one person or thing that could make Wen Ning feel bound and uncomfortable, and she was unable to cope with the internal conflict, so she subconsciously denied the option of marriage, “Those old classmates in the past don’t know how to look at our jokes.”

Zhou Yinchu logically and clearly caught her loophole: “What, are you planning to invite all your old classmates to the wedding banquet?”

There was no place to hide the smirk of triumph.

Bad.

It seemed like she was really thinking about marrying him.

Skipping the original steps of falling in love and walking blindly into a marriage, Wen Ning wasn’t quite sure if this was a man’s whim or a long-planned endeavor.

“What would you gain by marrying me?”

She clearly understood that she brought him no added business value, which was why Wen Ning had initially thought Ying Ying was a better match for him.

Marrying her did not seem to benefit him, but rather restricted his own freedom, which was more than worth the loss.

“Benefits?”

He raised an eyebrow, his encroaching gaze more than ever compared to the time when he lost control, staring intently at nothing more than the curves of her body, “Wen Ning, what benefits are you planning to give me?”

“Zhou Yinchu!” ……

This day, she questioned their marriage over and over again, and he, over and over again, patiently answered.

There were as many questions as there were answers.

After that, there was another.

The woman who had, with the help of this quickie, quickly resolved everything, found it less like the end and more like the beginning of another story.

The body’s feelings were strange, what it clearly resisted, what it repressed, but what it had never suffered and craved for all the same these days.

As soon as it was actually running through it, the hateful, repulsive face became forbidden and unbearable all at once.

In short, they quarreled like this, and more often so in peace.

Though she did not agree to this courtship of his, Winning did realize that her initial resistance was less strong.

Her persuasive approach became as gentle as possible, “It hasn’t been long since we were reunited this time, and perhaps you don’t really know me as I am now.”

“If we get married and then get divorced,” the woman didn’t seem to be squirming like that anymore as she analyzed for him the consequences of the marriage once it ended, “I could take a lot of your money.”

“Take away also good, so that you spend every dollar, think of the man is me.” Zhou Yinchu speaks loudly.

The words of squeezing out other men, she thought that Zhou Yinchu couldn’t say it no matter what, and why would he need to compete with a dead man when he was so self-righteous.

This is not Zhou Yinchu’s style.

“Wenning, wash up, I haven’t seen my mom in almost two years as well.”

This was, perhaps, not a good time.

Wen Ning found her own hair disheveled, and the red marks on her body couldn’t be removed for a while, not to mention that Zhou Yinchu’s mom was originally someone who was prejudiced against her.

She didn’t want to meet.

“Or else, let’s talk about it later.”

“That’s fine, it’s only four o’clock at the moment, the Civil Affairs Bureau shouldn’t have had time to get off work,” he swept his head down and glanced at the Patek Philippe he’d just put on afterward, and spoke in a shocking manner, “Let’s go to the registration first.”

He seemed to be familiar with the registration process, “I’ll accompany you back to get your documents, I happen to be signing like a project at hand, and I have it with me at all times.”

What’s going on here.

Wen Ning still do not understand, how to bye bye “mother-in-law” and direct registration of marriage between “choose one” it.

In addition, in the end, what is wrong with her, is not by Zhou Yinchu to brainwash, otherwise it is not so that he actually also took Zhou Yinchu’s mother as the future mother-in-law.

“If you refuse to go and register, you can also go and see my mom.”

Zhou Yinchu clearly saw her concern over the matter of meeting her mother-in-law, “She should be in her company, I’ll find Assistant Lin to find out her exact position ……”

If she had to choose between the two, Wen Ning would definitely prefer to “register her marriage”.

She thought that the marriage rate in this society was horribly low, and she was the legendary person who had worked hard to contribute to the number of marriages in the country.

At this point in time, the woman who can not relax also began to laugh at herself.

Both into the poor alley, Wen Ning can not find her way back, she can not really quiet, more unable to admit, the reason why her transformation came so quickly, or perhaps, in the re-meet the man from the moment, she had also involuntarily attracted for him, for him to stop.

The car parked in her residential building downstairs.

In the past, the old familiar neighbors interrogated Wen Ning situation, near this area of the people watched Wen Ning grew up, open store, married, and died husband, she always have a few points of special concern: “Ning Ning ah, how do you not go to open store at this point, run home to ah, the store has a Ning look at the logging la?”

“There is Ning ah.” (“Someone’s.”)

Wen Ning can not answer too much, she red face to avoid the attention of others: “I go home a little thing.”

While the man who had landed in the sports car was smiling with a raised eyebrow to see how he was coping with his neighbors, of course, Wen Ning thought at this moment that it would be for the best if he didn’t make a sound.

Otherwise, there was no telling which way his reputation would turn out in the morning.

However, people everywhere were telling her mom that she rushed home like something big had happened –

She and Zhou Yinchu had just arrived at the administrative hall of the District Civil Affairs Bureau when she received a call from her mother, asking her what was wrong.

“Mom, I took my ID card and hukou book.”

She clutched the number Zhou Yinchu had taken in her palm, and it was really hard to believe that they had come to this solemn place in the heat of the moment, an hour after the argument.

And in the past hour, she had raised too many ideas against the marriage and considered it impractical, only to have them rebutted and shot down one by one by the man.

The only thing that made the moment real was looking at the bright red coat of arms, the decision she had finally made when it came to “choosing between the two”.

The mother on the other end of the line was clearly clueless.

“What are you doing with that?” Wen’s mother’s reaction is not as sensitive as before, even the quickest reaction of the old people have to admit the fact of aging.

Wen Ning’s voice could not be lower: “Getting married.”

Wen mother, under Wen Ning’s strong persuasion, had already lost hope in this marriage, and had already acquiesced that Zhou Yinchu might not have a good ending with her daughter.

She heard the deep voice of another man on the phone, “Auntie, Ning Ning intends to marry me, and in the future, we will be a family.”
