This time, A Zhong did not push her away.
Her small arms wrapped around his shoulders, her hair falling by his ears.
He could clearly feel Zhou Jinbei's warmth and her unique scent.
She was the one he longed for, how could he possibly push her away?
The two held each other tightly, kissing for a long time as if cherishing the moment before the end of the world.
The instant they broke for air, Zhou Jinbei proactively called out to A Zhong, "Take me to your room."
This time, A Zhong no longer had to hold back.
He swept her up into his arms, and they rushed to the room.
The Zhan Family.
The technology department had been at Huatai for a whole day.
They had no idea how things were going with Jiang Nan Fang.
Thinking back to the past, when they went to the great Northwest to develop the land. Jiang Nan Fang was doted on and protected by them like a group pet.
Zhan Bei Jue suddenly felt he had been too naive and foolish, regretting letting them go over.
To let this group of men, who clearly had intentions towards her, surround her, wasn't that like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth?
The more he thought about it, the more restless he became.
It was past eight in the evening, and by his usual habit, it was time for bed.
But today, he wanted to go out.
"Lu Ming Zhe, accompany me out for a bit."
His leg injury had only just started to heal, and walking was still somewhat awkward, and he couldn't put any force on his shoulder.
He was practically crippled, Lu Ming Zhe teased him.
"Weren't you unwilling to go out and see people? Why the sudden urge to go out now?"
Zhan Bei Jue didn't explain.
"Just go when I tell you to, less nonsense. Go get the car."
By the time Lu Ming Zhe brought the car over, he had already changed into a casual outfit and come downstairs.
A black sweater, a short dark coffee-colored jacket, and white sports shoes.
Standing by the door, tall and with long legs, his eyes clear and bright, Lu Ming Zhe couldn't help but tease him again.
"What's up? Got a date? And with a college student?"
"You've dolled yourself up like a male model just starting out, what are you off to do?"
"Buy tape to seal your mouth."
Zhan Bei Jue, with his slightly limping leg, descended the steps and got into the car. "Let's go."
Lu Ming Zhe started the car, shaking his head as he drove.
"I've been your nanny, your driver, all that's left is to be your bedside attendant."
"Serving you so well, and I still don't get a word of thanks. You even want to buy tape to shut me up. No man is any good."
Zhan Bei Jue retorted, "As if you're not a man."
Lu Ming Zhe said, "I am, and yet I'm not."
"It's because I study psychology, and I've thoroughly researched the psychology of you men. But at the same time, I also study women and understand their thoughts, so I can't truly say I'm one hundred percent a man."
"No wonder you don't have a girlfriend. Being half-masculine and half-feminine, dating someone like you would be terrifying."
As he spoke, Zhan Bei Jue sent an address to his phone.
"Drive to this address."
The phone was connected to Bluetooth, and the notification indicated it was a company.
Lu Ming Zhe looked back at him.
"It's so late. You, a disabled person, still have to go to work?"
"If I told you I was going to see my ex-wife, what would you think?"
"Then when we see a flower shop later, we'll have to stop and buy a bouquet."
Lu Ming Zhe almost burst out laughing.
"Your leg just healed and you're already out to see your ex-wife? You're quite the ex-husband, I have nothing to say."
"It's not impossible to buy a bouquet." Zhan Bei Jue suddenly seemed to get into it.
"Then remember to stop when you see a flower shop. What do you think I should buy? Roses? I think red roses are too cliché."
"I've never sent her flowers before, so I don't know what she likes."
He was getting more animated as he spoke.
Lu Ming Zhe rolled his eyes at him. "You're actually buying flowers? Are you crazy? Do you really want to get back with your ex-wife?"
"Of course. She's already had four children for me. Besides me, who else in this life would want her?"
"Look at you, so confident. She's already had four children for you, so why did you divorce her in the first place?"
"You've been back for so long and still haven't won her back, and you've gotten so many injuries..."
"It's strange, she's had four children with you, yet she's so ruthless to you? What good would it do your children if you died?"
"And your children, where are they now? Are they with her? Aren't you afraid she'll take the children and run away and never come back?"
Zhan Bei Jue was annoyed by his blunt questions.
"You really are cut out to be a busybody. Shut up."
Lu Ming Zhe was as good as his word, and when they passed a beautiful flower shop, he actually stopped the car.
When two tall, handsome, top-tier men suddenly entered the shop, the young lady selling flowers was taken aback.
"Hello sir, what can I get for you?"
Zhan Bei Jue said, "I want to buy flowers."
Lu Ming Zhe answered for him, "He's buying for his ex-wife and doesn't know what to get, could you recommend something?"
The young lady's expression stiffened, her surprise vanishing instantly.
After listening to the young lady's lengthy recommendations, Zhan Bei Jue chose a bouquet of pink roses.
A man of his stature holding a bouquet of pink roses in the car looked rather peculiar.
Lu Ming Zhe couldn't help but turn back to take a picture with his phone.
"This scene is truly a rare sight. The great Zhan Bei Jue is actually holding flowers to give to someone, quick, let me take a picture."
"If I posted this on my social media, do you think it would get a flood of likes?"
"If you want to die, go ahead and post it."
Zhan Bei Jue took the flowers off his lap and placed them aside, then kicked his seat.
"Let's go, stop talking so much nonsense."
Having made everyone work overtime the previous evening, and working until nine o'clock, Jiang Nan Fang felt rather apologetic.
However, the project was simply too large, and they were short-handed.
If they didn't prepare the preliminary work thoroughly and allocate more time,
She was truly afraid she wouldn't be able to meet the delivery deadline promised in the bid, so Jiang Nan Fang could only push them.
After working until nine, Jiang Nan Fang came out to apologize to everyone and then said,
"Let's go. I'll treat everyone to a late-night snack."
"Order whatever you want, go wherever you want, don't worry about the price. You've worked hard physically, so let me make it up to you in terms of daily life."
Everyone cheered in agreement.
"Although the New Year just passed, our stomachs are already craving good food. Since Manager Jiang is now successful, we won't be polite!"
Everyone laughed and surrounded her as they went downstairs.
As soon as they reached the company entrance, Lu Ming Zhe arrived in his car.
He saw a group of young people laughing and chatting merrily walking towards them.
He called out to Zhan Bei Jue, "The one standing in the middle at the front, wearing a uniform, isn't that your ex-wife?"
Nonsense. She was the only woman in the crowd, and so striking. Who else could it be?
It wasn't like he hadn't seen her before.
Zhan Bei Jue was very excited.
But at the same time, he felt very jealous.
The person he longed to see, he couldn't, yet these guys could spend more than ten hours with her a day.
What kind of situation was this!
"Your ex-wife is really capable, working until this late to get off work. Looks like you're going for a late-night snack."
Lu Ming Zhe looked at him in the rearview mirror, his face expressionless.
"Why aren't you speaking? Aren't you getting out?"
Seeing Jiang Nan Fang surrounded by so many people, all looking so content.
In Zhan Bei Jue's usual style, he would never have joined them.
But the situation was different now.
