Chapter 438: Chapter 438: I’ll Let You Have the Best of Both Worlds Chapter 438: Chapter 438: I’ll Let You Have the Best of Both Worlds The master bedroom.
Qiao Xi, with her heart pounding and mind in turmoil, began to pack so personal belongings. Her trip to the Imperial Capital was to be a long one, and she needed to take many things with her.
It took her quite a while to finally calm down.
That mysterious voice ssage has been intended to throw her off balance. If the other party was really holding Grandpa Cheng captive, they would’ve said “Cheng Han is in our hands.”
They hadn’t made many enemies; it was very likely the work of the Imperial Capital’s Xiang Family and Lu Family factions.
For now, it seed Grandpa Cheng was safe. But his phone was definitely lost; she could only wait for him to contact her in so other way, perhaps there would be answers in so corner of the Imperial Capital.
She was so grateful that they had kept the most primitive ways of contact between them.
She exhaled slowly, finally settling her nerves.
Imperial Capital!
Here she cos!
All plots and sches, your trickery holds no fear for !
…
The night was deep, and it was already one in the morning.
The dew was heavier as it got later.
Zhou Yu’s car was parked beneath Shu Xue’s apartnt block. He rolled down his window and looked up at her floor, noticing a faint light in the second bedroom.
She was still awake.
He had been busy that night, his alcohol fus dissipated and he had even changed into a fresh set of clothes and sprayed on so light perfu, among other important things.
After everything, he drove here and sat below her apartnt for a long, long ti.
Only then did he co to understand the life he wanted, and the life Shu Xue wanted.
Zhou Yu sat in the driver’s seat, took out his phone and sent her a text ssage, seeing “The other party is typing…” displayed at the top of the screen, yet her response was taking a while to co.
Zhou Yu didn’t say anything, instead he sent a voice ssage, “I’m waiting for you downstairs.”
If she didn’t co, he would keep waiting.
Unless she didn’t want to go to work tomorrow and planned to be a shrinking turtle.
Zhou Yu waited another half hour before he saw a slender silhouette stretching out beneath the streetlight. Shu Xue, wearing her pajamas, ca downstairs.
At this hour, the complex was silent, with hardly any late returners around.
Zhou Yu got out of the car and watched her walk toward him.
Shu Xue walked up to the familiar red Ferrari and with an unnaturally calm yet sowhat unsettled gaze, she said, “This is an old complex; your Ferrari is too conspicuous. What do you want with at this hour? I already said we broke up.”
When Zhou Yu heard this, he was no longer as angry, instead pulling her to him and pressing his lips against hers.
He kissed her passionately against the car.
His techniques were expert, enough to make the most stubborn woman unable to pretend strength. Shu Xue initially struggled, but he firmly exploited her weaknesses.
“Zhou Yu, you’ve lost your mind!”
“A Ferrari is conspicuous, but doing this in a Ferrari is even more so!” Zhou Yu’s features were chiseled, his dark blue eyes deeper, “You say we broke up, but I haven’t agreed yet.”
“We’re not married; there’s no need for your agreent to divorce! And speaking of divorce, unilateral divorce is possible through a lawsuit!” Shu Xue’s lips were numb from his kisses; this man really was a dog!
Zhou Yu kissed her cheek, “Why didn’t you tell about going to Aid Africa? Are you afraid I’d pull so strings to get your na removed? You know I could do that.”
She glared at him, “You…”
Zhou Yu’s arms were wrapped around her waist as he opened the passenger door and pressed her inside to kiss her. Shu Xue beat against his chest, “Zhou Yu, co to your senses! At this ti… there are still people…”
“Didn’t we do a lot in the past?”
He looked serious, “Shu Xue, I put the apartnt up for sale tonight, I’m holess now.”
Surprise flashed in Shu Xue’s eyes. Was it the large flat in Biyuan designed by Xie Liuzheng?
“President Zhou has a net worth in the billions. You can afford a few houses easily. At worst, you could live in a five-star hotel. What are you doing, playing pitiful with ?”
She could sll his faint masculine scent; this man really was the untouchable moon of her dreams.
Even being embraced and held by him, her body naturally felt contentnt.
“Shu Xue, I won’t stop you from going to Aid Africa, and I can wait for your return. You are not just a fling, nor a compromise; I truly love you.”
His confession shocked Shu Xue.
Was he out of his mind?
He was always too proud to bow his head.
Shu Xue reached out her hand and touched his forehead. No fever.
Zhou Yu grew sowhat annoyed, “What are you doing?”
She withdrew her hand weakly, “Sorry, I thought you had a fever and were talking nonsense.” He was known to play the field, changing won as often as he changed clothes; Shu Xue never expected to be the exception.
But unexpectedly, she turned out to be the exception.
Zhou Yu took out a household registration book from the car and stuffed it into her hand, “This is my family’s hukou. You can take it abroad with you.”
“Shu Xue, this ti I’m giving you the choice!”
“Whenever you find what you want, co to with the hukou and say, ‘Zhou Yu, let’s get married.'”
She lacked security; he gave her security.
She wanted a career; he gave her freedom.
“Shu Xue, I’ve said that going abroad doesn’t an breaking up; there is a middle ground. If this happiness requires one of us to make sacrifices, then let it be . Besides, a long-distance relationship with an awaited reunion has never pained ; I look forward to seeing a better you.”
His words were heartfelt.
Shu Xue’s throat constricted, her eyes turning red. She thought that when the Aid Africa team list was exposed, what awaited her would be accusations, would be Zhou Yu leaving her for good.
She thought it was an either/or situation.
Due to Xie Liuzheng’s past actions hurting him, how could such a proud man endure such a humiliation again? But unexpectedly, it was this heartfelt talk.
He calmly explained everything to her.
Holding the hukou, Shu Xue felt its heavy significance, but her heart was indescribably joyful.
“Zhou Yu…”
Her voice choked, “Why would you…”
Zhou Yu held her tightly and said, “Because I think I have seen the most beautiful marriage. Huo Xingzhou gives Qiao Xi the freedom to grow without expecting anyone to sacrifice for the family. Marriage is not built on one’s sacrifice. I guess I’m envious of that kind of relationship.”
Shu Xue looked up and hugged his neck, kissing him deeply.
“Zhou Yu, thank you for giving the best of both worlds.”
Zhou Yu laughed, “And thank you for giving peace.”
He squeezed into the passenger seat, reclining it and casually closing the car door, the window slightly open. In the heat of passion, they didn’t care for much else, leaning in to kiss each other relentlessly.
The Ferrari was low to the ground with compact space, making their movents even more unruly.
Shu Xue’s loose pajamas added to the fervor of their embrace, releasing all pent-up emotions they had suffered through the breakup.
The light flickered on and off.
The car shook.
Suddenly, a blinding flashlight beam crossed them!
“Who’s there? What are you doing?”
