Chapter 771 A Good Girl "Suitable" for Marriage (18)
After graduation, Song Chuyu's mother hoped that he could go abroad to be with her.
How could a sensible child like him refuse?
So he obediently went abroad to be with his mother.
But his mother already had a new family.
He was like an outsider.
Perhaps, the mother just wanted to prove her happiness.
Song Chuyu blessed her as she wished.
Gentleness and magnanimity have long been his disguise.
Perhaps his parents were right when they said he was a cold person.
His mother's disdain and his father's indifference were of no importance to him.
He doesn't care at all.
So in the end, despite his mother's attempts to persuade him to stay, he returned to China alone.
He thought he would live like this forever.
Who knew that she would meet Mu Zhou like this.
This is the person who haunts his dreams and makes him want to get closer, yet he is afraid to express his love.
He took Mu Zhou's hand and brought it to his lips, placing a kiss on it.
"Thank you."
Thank you for being there.
Thank you for loving him.
However, Mu Zhou somewhat disagreed with his self-assessment:
"Actually, I don't think you're cold-hearted by nature."
It is obvious that his lack of expectation and love for his parents is simply the result of years of stress.
He is not incapable of love.
His parents assumed that their decision was for his own good and, not daring to bear the consequences of divorce, shifted the blame onto him.
It's not his fault.
He wasn't as despicable or dark as he imagined.
It was merely a curse from his parents during his childhood, etched into his mind in some way, constantly reminding him of it.
This leads him to mistakenly believe that no matter how well he does, it's all fake and not his true nature.
Even the knowledge and hobbies he learned to disguise himself were truly imprinted in his mind.
How can you say that's just a persona?
"A gentleman judges by his actions, not his intentions. If your actions bring warmth to others, then you are a warm and kind person."
She made a final judgment and wouldn't allow him to belittle himself anymore.
Song Chuyu looked at her, a glimmer of light in his eyes.
He nodded, and the corners of his lips slowly curved into a smile:
"it is good."

Perhaps it was because her feelings of love had been suppressed for too long.
After confirming their relationship, Song Chuyu almost instantly felt like she had a boyfriend.
There was absolutely no excess.
Dating him was like a gentle spring breeze; everything about him was wonderful.
Even his colleagues couldn't help but tease him.
"What's going on? You seem radiant and full of life every day."
Mu Zhou was already beautiful, but lately she has become excessively radiant.
Mu Zhou smiled without saying a word, letting them tease him.
I just received a message from Song Chuyu on my phone.
I've made a reservation at that Japanese restaurant you wanted to eat at. Shall I pick you up tonight?
Mu Zhou replied quickly:
Okay, I'll be waiting for you.
During this period, the two met every day.
Even if Mu Zhou had plans for the evening, he would still pick her up after her date.
Mu Zhou told him not to go through all that trouble running back and forth, but he insisted that it was what a boyfriend should do.
He is willing.
He asked her not to disqualify him from doing this.
Mu Zhou was both amused and exasperated, and had no choice but to let him be.

Japanese food store.
Mu Zhou and Song Chuyu sat on one side.
Having not had salmon sashimi for a while, Mu Zhou couldn't resist picking up a thick slice and dipping it in wasabi and sauce.
Upon tasting it, the rich, fatty flavor of the salmon almost intoxicated Mu Zhou.
The soft and chewy texture made her unable to resist eating another thick slice.
The pungent kick of wasabi quickly spread, both stimulating and irresistible.
She took another bite of the Arctic surf clam.
It's very chewy and tastes good.
She ate her fill, and Song Chuyu watched with satisfaction.
He poured Mu Zhou a cup of hot tea.
The weather is gradually getting cooler now, so eating Japanese food and drinking hot tea is quite fitting.
After his appetite was briefly satisfied, Mu Zhou suddenly remembered the gossip his colleagues had been spreading that day.
"By the way, I heard from a colleague that a teacher at your school had an affair and was caught by his wife in the classroom?"
Mu Zhou wasn't usually one to gossip, but since Song Chuyu happened to be a teacher at Haishi University, and the teacher's affair was with a male student, he couldn't help but ask.
Song Chuyu also remembered this incident.
He told her what he knew.
Mu Zhou listened with great interest and made a teasing remark:
"I thought you weren't interested in these things."
Song Chuyu smiled:
"Human nature."
His colleagues were all talking about it, and even if he didn't participate, he would inevitably overhear some of it.
The two chatted a lot during the meal.
They always seem to be like that, with so much to talk about.
They talk about this one second, and then move on to something else the next.
When the meal ended and they left, Mu Zhou habitually took his arm, chatting and laughing.
"How about we go to the beach on Saturday? I heard there's a fireworks show."
"it is good."
Song Chuyu kept it in mind.
At the same time, a gaze filled with anger fell on the two of them from behind.
They couldn't get it back even after they left.
Qin Zheng's gaze was icy, and his face was as gloomy as an impending storm.
Lin Chongze also saw Mu Zhou and Song Chuyu.
As soon as they came in, they saw Mu Zhou and Song Chuyu having a very intimate meal.
The two of them exuded an intimate aura, oblivious to everyone else around them.
The smile on Mu Zhou's face, in particular, was too glaring.
That genuine relaxation and affection was something she had never experienced when she was dating Qin Zheng.
Lin Chongze scratched his head, sensing that there was going to be some excitement to watch.
Qin Zheng held the cup of sake in his hand with such force that he almost crushed it.
Are Mu Zhou and Song Chuyu together?
Does she understand him?
What makes her so special...?
Qin Zheng pursed his lips, a dark and gloomy look settling in his eyes.
*
It was another business event, and Mu Zhou was just someone who had been seconded to help out.
After finishing her work, she was about to leave when, as she passed through the safety gate, a hand suddenly grabbed her forearm and pulled her into the stairwell.
She instinctively tried to scream, but the other person covered her mouth and pinned her against the wall.
Upon seeing the other person's face clearly, Mu Zhou's eyes widened, and his expression turned angry.
She pushed Qin Zheng's hand away.
"what are you doing?!"
Has Qin Zheng gone mad?
It scared her so much that her heart almost stopped beating.
Seeing that she looked unwell, Qin Zheng restrained himself a bit, but still refused to let her leave.
"Are you dating Song Chuyu?"
His questioning displeased Mu Zhou:
"It has nothing to do with you! Let go."
Why did you start dating him?
"I already told you it has nothing to do with you..."
Mu Zhou pushed him away forcefully, her face flushed with anger.
She picked up her phone to call the police.
If a scandal involving Qin Zheng sexually harassing his ex-girlfriend were to break out, it would likely have an immediate impact on his stock price.
Qin Zheng was furious at her ruthlessness, but he had no choice but to suppress his anger.
"I'm just afraid you'll be deceived. Why are you always so hostile towards me?"
He took a step back, trying to prove that he was genuinely only concerned about Mu Zhou and posed no other threat.
Mu Zhou watched him warily, her phone screen still displaying the numbers "110," ready to press the button at any moment.
Qin Zheng took a deep breath:
"Let's talk this out calmly, okay? I won't hurt you."
