Chapter 757 A Good Girl "Suitable" for Marriage (5)
Upon seeing Mu Zhou arrive, Lin Chongze excused himself and left, making room for them.
"I'm going to make a phone call."
Only Mu Zhou and Qin Zheng remained in the bedroom.
Mu Zhou sat down silently.
Qin Zheng's home is decorated in a cool color scheme.
Even the bedding was black and gray. He was wearing black pajamas and leaning against the headboard, as if he had been completely absorbed into the darkness.
In the original storyline, the two moved here immediately after their marriage.
The original owner didn't really like the decor here; she always felt that everything was cold and impersonal.
After she mentioned changing the decorating style twice, but Qin Zheng ignored both suggestions, she realized that he didn't want to change it.
So, she wisely stopped mentioning it.
Mu Zhou turned his gaze back to Qin Zheng.
His lips were an unnatural pale color, and his face looked unusually haggard.
Upon seeing Mu Zhou, Qin Zheng's eyes revealed a complex and indescribable emotion.
He remained motionless, silently watching her.
Mu Zhou sighed silently and spoke first:
"Why are you so sick?"
In the past, even when he was feeling unwell, he would mostly endure it and try to get through it without letting anyone see his weakness.
It was rare to see him looking so sickly.
Seeing that she cared about him, Qin Zheng's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
Actually, seeing Mu Zhou had relieved a lot of the irritation that had been weighing on his mind for the past few days.
Or rather, he appreciated her visit and care for him.
But when Qin Zheng answered her, his tone remained indifferent:
“Don’t listen to Chen Xiang’s nonsense, the fever has gone down,” he paused, then said, “Why are you here?”
Mu Zhou answered truthfully.
She was just shopping when she unexpectedly ran into Chen Xiang and was pulled over.
Qin Zheng's face darkened.
Were they forced to come see him?
Ah.
Someone came begging to her.
Qin Zheng gritted his teeth, his dark eyes fixed on her:
"I'm fine, you can go ahead if you're busy."
His tone suggested he was being defiant.
But Mu Zhou felt that she must have misheard. Qin Zheng was the kind of person who always planned ahead and controlled the game.
How could something like sulking happen to him?
So Mu Zhou obediently got up:
"Since you're alright, I'll be going now."
She got up to leave, but before she could turn around, she was suddenly pulled back by a strong force.
She lost her balance and fell onto the bed.
Everything went black as Qin Zheng pressed down on him.
Mu Zhou subconsciously raised her hand to his chest, looking at him with fear in her eyes:
"what are you doing?"
The anger in Qin Zheng's eyes was ignited, and there was no need to hide it anymore.
His face darkened as he questioned:
"I should be asking you what you really want! Mu Zhou, do you even remember you're my girlfriend?!"
She comes and goes as she pleases, what does she take him for?
Does he have to be the one to beg and beg for it?
The sudden surge of murderous intent in Qin Zheng's eyes was impossible to suppress, and his expression was icy cold.
He rarely loses his composure like this.
But when he saw Mu Zhou about to leave without hesitation, he couldn't control himself at all.
Her heart was being torn apart with pain; how could she stand idly by?
Faced with his questioning, Mu Zhou opened his mouth, his tone puzzled:
"What happened to you?"
At this moment, Qin Zheng was somewhat frightening, his entire being shrouded in a dangerous and terrifying aura.
She doesn't like it.
I'm not used to such an intimate gesture.
Lin Chongze and the others are still here; who knows if they'll come in.
She pushed Qin Zheng, who was on top of her:
"You get up first."
With a little effort, Mu Zhou's cheeks inevitably flushed red.
Even his breathing became a little erratic.
Qin Zheng, who was originally furious, suddenly froze when he saw her, and the coldness on his body gradually dissipated.
"Lin Chongze and the others will see this. Get up first."
Mu Zhou's voice was low, but to Qin Zheng it sounded like she was being coquettish.
Her hair, which had been styled in a bun behind her ears, was now slightly disheveled, with a few stray strands falling down and sticking to her neck.
A pair of big, watery eyes stared at him.
Qin Zheng was somewhat envious.
His Adam's apple bobbed noticeably, and a dark glint flashed in his eyes.
He stared at those rosy, pink lips, as if bewitched, and involuntarily lowered his head.
Just as he was about to kiss her, Mu Zhou caught her breath and abruptly turned her head away.
Qin Zheng's burning lips brushed against her cheek.
After a moment of stunned silence, he realized that Mu Zhou had dodged.
The previous ambiguous atmosphere dissipated, and his dark pupils erupted like a volcano, pouring out surging anger.
He pursed his lips, his temples bulging with tension.
Qin Zheng stared intently at Mu Zhou's profile, which she couldn't avoid, and a sarcastic smile curled his lips.
He stood up, suppressing a surge of anger, and sat back down with a cold expression.
He doesn't need to force anyone.
Mu Zhou also hurriedly got off the bed, whispered "I'm leaving first," and quickly left the bedroom.
Watching her flee in panic, Qin Zheng clenched his fists.
When Lin Chongze came in, he saw him clenching his teeth and his brow furrowed with anger.
"What happened? Did you two have a fight?"
It's rare.
These two don't seem like the type to argue, yet they still have a disagreement.
Before he could say anything more, Qin Zheng threw a pillow at him.
Lin Chongze instinctively blocked it, but couldn't help laughing:
"Now this is what a normal relationship should look like."
He was so composed and confident in his previous relationships, as if he had everything under control.
Calm and uneventful.
Boring.
Qin Zheng now seems to be living a normal life.
Hearing his teasing, Qin Zheng merely glanced at him coldly, his heart filled with disdain.
He doesn't need that kind of childish, out-of-control, uncontrollable emotion, where everything is controlled by the other person.
But when he caught a glimpse of the light rain falling outside the window, Qin Zheng suddenly remembered Mu Zhou, who had just fled in panic.
Did she bring an umbrella?
But thinking of her resistance and indifference towards him, Qin Zheng hardened his heart and kicked Lin Chongze out of the bedroom.
*
Mu Zhou walked out of Qin Zheng's house carrying shopping bags.
While waiting for the elevator, she opened a ride-hailing app.
It seems to be raining outside, and it's hard to even hail a car.
She didn't bring an umbrella.
Suddenly I feel like she really should buy a car.
A while ago, her family said they would buy her a car when she started her internship, but she said she probably wouldn't need it.
I didn't expect to be proven wrong like this.
The elevator doors opened, and she stepped inside, looking down at her phone.
There was a man standing in the corner of the elevator, but she didn't pay any attention to him.
Just as the elevator descended one floor, the overhead light suddenly flickered, and Mu Zhou's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively stood close to the wall.
My mind was filled with the elevator safety posture I had learned before.
The elevator suddenly stopped moving, and all the lights went out.
The shopping bag in Mu Zhou's hand had fallen to the ground. She pressed herself against the corner of the wall, her hands gripping the handrail tightly.
Realizing that the elevator had come to a stop and seemed unlikely to continue falling, Mu Zhou immediately went to press the call button.
Unexpectedly, the man standing on the other side beat her to it.
When Mu Zhou heard the voice of the duty officer coming through the receiver, his heart finally calmed down.
Perhaps sensing her visibly relieved, the man spoke gently:
"Don't worry, the property management has maintenance staff stationed there, they'll be here soon."
