Qin Su did not answer and only gave him an indifferent glance.
Zhou Zimo’s eyes flickered and he did not force her anymore. He just silently raised his wine glass and calmly toasted her, “If it has caused you trouble, then I can only say that I’m sorry. However, I will not give up.”
“Why are you so persistent? I’m not a very amorous person and I’m not suitable to get along with.”
Qin Su knew herself very well, and her gaze was filled with sincerity. “I appreciate your kindness, but I don’t have any confidence in being your female companion.”
“Not a female companion, but a wife. I think you can do it. Compared to you, those women are completely incomparable. You should give me a chance.”
Zhou Zimo quickly corrected her. “I’m not married, and you’re not married either. You don’t have a partner either, and we know each other. Based on this, I think you should give us a chance.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t force you. Don’t be in a hurry to reject me. Go back and think about it. Let’s start as friends and lovers. I have plenty of time and patience for you to accept willingly.”
Zhou Zimo was very confident in his charm, especially after his conversation with Mu Yuchen earlier. It made him feel that if Zhou Zimo was willing to put in the effort to pursue her, Qin Su would definitely become his woman.
When Zhou Zimo said this, his large hand reached out and grabbed Qin Su’s wrist, staring at her. The force was so strong that Qin Su could not break free. She struggled a few times but to no avail, so she gave up struggling.
“Promise me.”
When he saw that she did not say anything, Zhou Zimo said directly.
“Let go!”
“I have to hear an answer from you today. Are you afraid of me?”
Zhou Zimo’s tone was very calm, but his aura was enough to suppress the other party.
“No.”
“Then why won’t you agree? I’m not a threatening beast, I’m not that scary!”
Zhou Zimo tightened his large hands and said in a deep voice.
“If you can’t get past yourself, then let’s make a bet. If I lose, then I’ll go along with you. If you lose, you’ll have to be my girlfriend. What do you think?”
Zhou Zimo was actually furious. Against someone like Qin Su, he thought that he could only use the simplest method to deal with such a stupid student.
He thought that Qin Su’s EQ must be very low!
Definitely!
Qin Su did not respond, but looked at him silently with a face full of disapproval.
“Don’t look at me like that, you can only agree. Eat first, I’ll bring you to a place later.”
Zhou Zimo took a deep breath and took the initiative to pour her a drink.
“There’s no need to gamble, I’ll give you an answer in three days.”
Qin Su only responded in an indifferent manner. Then, she picked up her knife and fork again and continued to enjoy her lunch.
This time, Zhou Zimo paused and looked at her with some surprise. A moment later, a smile flashed across his handsome face. “This is the officer I’m familiar with, Qin Su. You’ve always been known for being frank and straightforward.”
“I can hear the sarcasm in your words.”
Qin Su glanced at him.
Zhou Zimo shrugged. “I’m serious. I don’t have the slightest bit of sarcasm.”
“Do you know where you’re going to be transferred back?”
Zhou Zimo naturally knew that Qin Su was going to be transferred back. Of course, because of this matter, as someone who had never begged his father, Zhou Zhenjun, he had especially made a trip there for this matter. Naturally, Qin Su did not know about this.
“I’m still waiting for the news. We’ll know the results in the next two days.”
Qin Su did not pay much attention to this work matter. In her current situation, her superiors would also give her special care. Moreover, she was a person with a strong ability to adapt. She would be able to adapt quickly wherever she went, so it would be the same no matter where she went.
Zhou Zimo saw her indifferent look, but he felt a lot of emotions in his heart
Naturally, he could not bear to let her endure so much. He had to let her relax a little. Of course, it was also for his own convenience!
…
After lunch, the sun was not very bright outside. Zhou Zimo suggested to go down to the flower field for a walk, and Qin Su agreed.
Qin Su rarely had the time to go out like this. At this moment, wandering around the flower fields felt pretty good.
She walked in front, and Zhou Zimo followed behind her.
“The scenery here is pretty nice.”
Qin Su, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and said this lightly.
“Yeah, when I came here before, this place was still a wasteland, but there were still a lot of chrysanthemums planted nearby. Later, when I found out that the entire city was going to develop the south, I thought that this place was also a good place. My friend planned to set up a restaurant here. I’m also very interested in the catering industry, so I also joined in.”
No wonder the waiter called him Mr. Zhou so politely when he came up. He must have known Zhou Zimo’s identity.
“You returned to City Z after leaving the army?”
“Yes, I didn’t think of staying in the army at that time. Coincidentally, Chen was coming back to take over Glory World. My parents and their professions meant they wouldn’t take over the Zhou family’s business. At that time, the company was also in the midst of turmoil. My grandmother passed away suddenly as well. I could only take over this mess after that.”
“It’s all thanks to Chen and the others’ help. Otherwise, the crisis wouldn’t have passed so quickly. The development of the company has been smooth over the past few years. I’m less tired now.”
Zhou Zimo could not help but feel a little absent-minded when he recalled that period of time.
“I’ve heard of the relationship between the three of you. It’s very enviable.”
Qin Su also responded simply.
“I’ve also heard that you’re quite close to that staff officer called Zhang Nuannuan. Why didn’t she transfer back?”
Zhou Zimo pondered for a moment before asking.
Hearing this, Qin Su’s entire body stiffened for a moment. After a while, she turned her head away and looked at the large field of blooming autumn chrysanthemums in front of her. Her hoarse voice was as indifferent as the wind—
“She’s dead…”
She was dead?
Zhou Zimo was stunned for a moment. He looked at Qin Su with some surprise. His sharp senses could detect a trace of hidden pain in the depths of her eyes..
“How…”
Zhou Zimo asked softly.
“She passed away during a mission. She didn’t need to die, her husband betrayed her. When she received the news, she happened to be on a mission. During that period of time, her mental state was very poor. When we were retreating, she startled her opponents. You know, the drug lords at the border are all ruthless. When the bullet went through her chest, I was by her side. In the end, she fell in my arms.”
“I’ve never seen her sleep so peacefully. At that time, I thought that it might have been a relief for her.”
