When Qin Su said this, Zhou Zimo was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud
“I didn’t expect that even an honorable officer like you would have an unpresentable moment too. I’ve told you before that after marriage, many things will not change. You’re still free to do whatever you want. No one will force you to do anything you don’t want to do. The Zhou family isn’t lacking in servants. Why do you have to be a good wife and mother?”
After Zhou Zimo said this, Qin Su raised her eyes to look at him. “Are you sure? If I keep doing this, will your mother and the others say that I’m too…”
“What can they say? They have to be grateful that you’re willing to marry me. Don’t think too much. Just be yourself.”
Zhou Zimo returned the favor.
“Remember what you said, we won’t have to worry about these things in the future. Let me toast you. Thank you for your tolerance and perseverance during this period of time, which has made our fate come true. In terms of relationships, I admit that I really don’t have your perseverance. Zhou Zimo, please advise me in the long future!”
Qin Su’s words were very sincere. It could be seen that she seemed to be slowly accepting this marriage. Most of the time, she was willing to cooperate with him, just like when she went to Mu Yuchen’s house a few days ago. According to her personality, she would most likely reject him too, however, she only thought about it for a moment that day, and then she was willing to go with him later on.
Zhou Zimo nodded as he listened. He poured some wine as well and leisurely toasted her. He also said very sincerely—
“Missus, don’t worry. Your Mr. Zhou will definitely be able to withstand the test. You have a lifetime to test him.”
Qin Su gave him a sidelong glance and then drank the wine in one gulp. “It’s good that you’re self-disciplined. Why do you need me to test you? You’re also someone who came out of the military camp. In theory, your self-discipline should be stronger than others.”
“I think my self-discipline is very good. How else could I have been thinking about you all these years?”
Zhou Zimo immediately replied when he heard that.
Qin Su was as calm as the wind. Just like how she was before, she was as calm as the waves. This was also one of the reasons why Zhou Zimo had been thinking about her until now.
“You made yourself quite infatuated. Let’s encourage each other. Drink a few more glasses, this wine isn’t strong.”
“Although it’s not strong, it’s not good to drink too much. Drink less.” Zhou Zimo reminded her.
However, Qin Su gently shook her head and quietly poured him some wine. She looked at Zhou Zimo and said, “No, it’s rare to have this kind of mood tonight. It’s good to get drunk. It seems that we’ve never sat down and drank in such a calm manner before.”
“Have you always been prejudiced against me?” Zhou Zimo asked.
Qin Su took a deep breath and downed a glass of wine before replying, “It’s not prejudice, because I’ve never imagined that my partner would be someone like you. I’m more willing to believe that he should be a great soldier, just like my parents.”
“Do I seem like one of those Masters to you?”
“Not really. I just feel like we’re from two different worlds. To me, you’re a parallel line that I thought would never cross.” Qin Su answered very earnestly.
“Once a relationship happens, there’s no parallel line to speak of. I firmly believe that we will definitely cross paths. Reality has proven that I have foresight.”
As Zhou Zimo spoke, he looked at her quietly while she was busy pouring wine.
“I heard that you were sent to the Military Academy?”
Qin Su was very low-key, but her sharpness was not weak.
“Yes, my father has been very strict with me since I was young. When I just started school, they had already set a path for me to go to the Military Academy and join the army. Coincidentally, this is also a career that I like, so I didn’t refute them.”
“Is your life so monotonous?” Zhou Zimo asked.
“That’s not what I said. You know, I’ve been working undercover for many years. If it wasn’t for my injuries, I’m afraid that I wouldn’t have retired from the front line so quickly. Of course, this is also because of my father.”
Speaking up to this point, Qin Su could not help but sigh, “Walking on the edge of a knife, I’ve seen quite a few things. To be honest, I actually feel quite tired. I often feel tired and even a little powerless. I’m looking forward to living that kind of peaceful life. You don’t have to constantly worry about your identity being seen through by the other party, and you don’t have to worry about those drug lords suspecting your identity, or even pointing a gun at your head.”
As she recalled those memories, Qin Su’s expression became even more solemn, “Sometimes, even in your dreams, your identity is exposed. When you wake up, you’re covered in cold sweat. It took me a very long time to put my life and death aside. I feel like my life is in my hands. I don’t even know when I’ve lost it.”
As she said this, Qin Su’s tone also became calm. However, Zhou Zimo took in her expression and his heart began to ache silently—
It was not like he had never experienced something like that before. Even now, he still felt a lingering fear when he thought about it. However, his experience was not even one-tenth of hers.
To have such boldness and courage, he should at least admire her.
“Your strength and courage make my heart ache. Qin Su, in the future, you don’t have to endure those things anymore. You will live a happy life. Believe me! I can give it to you! I will work hard to give you whatever you want!”
Zhou Zimo finished the wine in his glass in one gulp. He could not help but reach out and grab her cold hand tightly, “All of this is in the past. In the future, we…”
“I don’t have any other intentions when I’m telling you this. It’s just that when I drink too much, I talk too much. Zhou Zimo, can you give me the so-called peace and Tranquility?”
Qin Su downed another glass of wine. Suddenly, she felt a surge of heat. Her pair of clear eyes became a little blurry. She held the wine bottle with one hand and looked at Zhou Zimo.
“Of course!”
Zhou Zimo’s reply was very affirmative.
As she listened, a faint smile finally blossomed on Qin Su’s cold and beautiful face. This was already very rare for her, who did not like to smile. She was like a rose blooming in full bloom on a rainy night, causing Zhou Zimo to be deeply intoxicated and unable to shift his eyes away.
However, it was only a short-lived flower.
“Mmm, then, I thank you. Thank you for waiting for me and giving me happiness. I’m a little touched. Really, at this moment.”
Qin Su took a deep breath and raised her misty eyes to meet his pitch-black eyes.
Zhou Zimo held her hand tightly and smiled gently. He said softly, “You’re drunk, Qin Su…”
Qin Su shook her head and did not think much of it. She endured the absent-mindedness in her head and replied, “No… It’s very difficult for me to get drunk. You can drink a few cups with me…”
Then she filled up the cup in front of her…
