Chapter 681: So Much Attention
Huo Yan didn't understand why she felt lacking in confidence no matter what she wanted to say in front of Zhuang Zhoucheng?
When he was not around, she would feel that his position and ideas were wrong, but when she talked to him face to face, she couldn't explain it.
She stared at Zhuang Zhoucheng blankly, biting her lip in annoyance.
After a long while, she slid off him and made a muffled sound.
"Being with you, I feel like I'm getting dumber and dumber. I can't even speak anymore."
Zhuang Zhoucheng rubbed her face:
"What are you thinking about? Just listen to me. How can I harm you? Huh?"
"But you don't let me go back to Kyoto, nor do you agree to let me study abroad..." Huo Yan said in a low voice.
She never thought about studying for a master's degree in China after graduating from university.
She really wanted to go one step further, but was she destined to stop here?
Zhuang Zhoucheng held her hand and said:
"You can go back to Kyoto, and stay there occasionally. As for studying abroad, we can talk about it later, okay?"
"This is just another way of putting me off, right? I'm still planning on studying abroad. I don't think I'll be studying till I'm old."
Huo Yan muttered, not daring to look at him.
Zhuang Zhoucheng let go of his hand and said coldly:
"There's another option. You can do whatever you want. We won't get in each other's way."
Huo Yan's face turned pale. She looked at him and bit her lip. It was the same words again. Did he know that these words were so hurtful?
"Zhuang Zhoucheng, you're forcing me again..."
"I'm not forcing you. If I did, would I still give you the right to choose?" Zhuang Zhoucheng continued in a deep voice.
"That's nonsense." Huo Yan turned and left.
Zhuang Zhoucheng said nothing, but sat there motionless and gloomy. It was undoubtedly impossible to ask him to give in.
Huo Yan was standing outside the room, leaning against the wall.
When she went downstairs, she was scolded by Aunt Zhuang again, but she didn't mind how Aunt Zhuang slandered her.
Zhuang Jinse is a frank person with no ill intentions.
She just didn't want to be laughed at by others.
Zhuang Zhoucheng came out not long after, and when he saw her standing by the door, his face immediately darkened, and he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"Are you still angry now?"
"I'm not angry. I just want to be quiet for a while and don't want to argue with you."
Huo Yan's face rested against his chest, and her voice was muffled.
"Fight? It seems that you feel wronged, right?" Zhuang Zhoucheng asked back.
"no……"
Huo Yan raised her eyes and saw the word "unhappy" engraved on Zhuang Zhoucheng's face. Huo Yan had a headache and pulled his clothes.
"Can you please stop being so stingy? You're putting so much pressure on me. I don't know how to adapt to this kind of life. I've never thought about staying in Beijing, nor have I thought about studying for a master's degree here..."
Before Huo Yan finished speaking, Zhuang Zhoucheng became emotional again. He let go of her and raised his voice.
"I've given you a better choice. Didn't you plan to escape from me after graduation from the very beginning? I'm giving you a chance now. Either stay with me, be obedient, and do as I arrange. Or, break up!"
Huo Yan looked up at him, tears in her eyes.
Biting her lips, she exhaled for a long time:
"You're sure I can't leave you, so you bully me like this..."
Huo Yan couldn't control herself anymore, so she turned around and lay on the wall, covering her head and crying.
Zhuang Zhoucheng looked at Huo Yan like that, his heart filled with anger and pain, and his face fell.
He walked forward, gently held her in his arms from behind, and spoke in a low voice.
"What does it matter where you live? As long as I'm here, what difference does it make? As for studying abroad, forget about it. I can't guarantee that I'll be faithful to you physically and mentally when you're not around. I also don't trust that you won't do something behind my back when you're not around..."
Huo Yan immediately turned to look at him and shook his head:
"I won't, believe me, I won't do anything rash, I won't do anything to let you down, we're married, aren't we? I won't..."
"If you can even run off with a strange man, what reason do I have to believe that you won't do something else behind my back?"
Zhuang Zhoucheng's words were a bit harsh, like a shining knife stabbing directly into her heart.
Huo Yan's face was pale and his dark eyes stared straight at him.
Zhuang Zhoucheng straightened her body, kissed her on the face, and whispered:
"Be good, ok?"
"you……"
The corners of Huo Yan's lips trembled, and tears kept swirling in his eyes.
What he said just now was an implicit accusation that she was behaving improperly and was still dwelling on the past.
Huo Yan covered his aching heart, lowered his head and asked in a low voice:
"If you mind so much, why did you marry me?"
He wanted to get married of his own accord. He couldn't let it go and insisted on getting married. What was he thinking?
Zhuang Zhoucheng stared at her with dark eyes and pushed her hair away from her face.
"What do you want to say?"
Huo Yan took a deep breath, looked up at him, forced a smile, and shook his head:
"No, it seems like... there's no way I can communicate with you... Haha, forget it, just do whatever you want me to do, I can agree..."
When she can't bear it anymore, divorce...
She would consider it.
Zhuang Zhoucheng pinched her chin:
"What are you thinking, huh? Are you disappointed in me and find that this man is not as good as you thought? Are you thinking about another man again?"
"You really……"
Huo Yan pushed his hand away. It was useless to explain. She looked at him in annoyance and wanted to run away. She didn't want to argue.
Zhuang Zhoucheng's heart tightened, and he grabbed her wrist again. Huo Yan reacted violently, shaking his hand off and shouting:
"You are really unreasonable. Don't touch me again!"
She quickly took a step back and looked at him, anger in her eyes, but she was also trying her best to suppress her unstable emotions. She pressed her chest, which was heaving violently, and looked up at him.
"I'm sorry, don't be angry, I'm a little upset."
After saying this, Huo Yan quickly ran downstairs.
Zhuang Zhoucheng had a gloomy face, and both of them had been in a bad mood recently.
Zhuang Zhoucheng knew that he shouldn't force her, but if he didn't put some pressure on her, how could she obey?
Zhuang Zhoucheng stood there for a while, then followed him downstairs.
A man of his age has a wife who is only twenty years old. He can't help but revolve around his wife and keep a close eye on her. Will he feel at ease if he doesn't?
He didn't mean to hurt her, so what he said was wrong?
She did have a bad record. How much effort did he put into bringing her close to him?
Could he be careless?
Zhuang Zhoucheng went downstairs and didn't see Huo Yan. He was stunned for a moment and asked his sister:
"Where's the little guy?"
"She ran away crying." Zhuang Jinse said calmly.
"You didn't stop me?"
Zhuang Zhoucheng's face turned dark and his heart was immediately gripped with anxiety.
Zhuang Jinse rolled her eyes and asked, "How much salary did you offer me to help you look after your precious child?"
Zhuang Zhoucheng glanced at the eldest lady and went out directly.
Zhang Bin poked his head out of the kitchen. "Are they arguing again?"
