Chapter 768 A Good Girl "Suitable" for Marriage (15)
Qin Zheng is dressed very formally today.
The well-tailored suit, made of expensive fabric, perfectly showcased his tall and strong physique.
Perhaps because he had given a speech at the school, many people recognized him.
He paid no attention to the stares of those around him, walked straight past the crowd, and headed towards Mu Zhou.
Qin Zheng's eyes darkened as he looked down at her.
Mu Zhou wore makeup today, and her already delicate features looked even more beautiful with the careful makeup.
She also got her hair done; her original long, straight black hair now had some curls, slightly cascading over her shoulders, exuding a playful yet subtly alluring charm.
Because he had just taken off his graduation gown, a few strands of his long hair were still a little messy.
His fingers suddenly felt itchy, and he wanted to tidy them up for her.
Just as he was about to raise his hand, he saw the wariness in Mu Zhou's eyes.
He clenched his fingers and gave up the idea.
Did you receive the flowers?
He glanced down at the two bouquets of flowers in Mu Zhou's arms and asked in a good mood.
But after seeing it clearly, he frowned slightly.
He remembered that he had given her a bouquet of roses.
He had ordered those roses long ago; they were flown in from Europe.
But at this moment, Mu Zhou held a bunch of gladiolus, which symbolizes rising step by step, and a bunch of lotus flowers and lotus pods.
There are no red roses.
Upon hearing this, Mu Zhou recalled the bunch of nameless flowers that he had just left by the flowerbed.
She exclaimed "Oh!" as if suddenly realizing something.
"Oh, so it was you who sent it. I didn't know who sent it, so I threw it away."
Qin Zheng's expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure.
He smiled gently, seemingly indifferent.
"It's alright, just throw it away, I'll have someone send another bunch over."
"No need, I already have some, I can't take any more."
Mu Zhou immediately refused and prepared to leave.
Qin Zheng followed closely behind.
He looked at Mu Zhou in front of him, and his heart skipped a few beats.
A strange sense of peace washed over me.
All the frustration I'd been feeling lately vanished.
In a better mood, his voice softened even more:
"What would you like to eat? How about Yu Ji?"
It's just being gentle; he can do that too.
Qin Zheng already knew that Mu Zhou had no resistance to gentle men.
Although he didn't believe that a man really needed to have the quality of gentleness, since she liked it, he was willing to reluctantly let her enjoy his gentle side.
Since she's his woman, it's no big deal for him to spoil her a bit.
However, his good mood didn't last long.
Seeing him follow her and start talking to himself, and noticing the strange looks from the other students, Mu Zhou stopped, her face cold and serious, and said to him:
"Please stop following me, okay?"
"I just wanted to treat you to a meal."
Qin Zheng showed no sign of anger; in fact, a smile even played on his lips.
This is completely different from the person he used to be.
Mu Zhou pursed his lips:
“You’re affecting me here. I don’t want to have to live in everyone’s gossip even after I’ve graduated.”
During the past two years of their relationship, Mu Zhou kept a low profile, and almost no one around her knew that she and Qin Zheng were dating.
After all, one is a mature man with a high social standing, and the other is a female college student from a prestigious university.
Such a combination is bound to attract a lot of discussion.
Mu Zhou did not want this to happen, and Qin Zheng had the same concerns.
Therefore, the two tacitly kept their relationship private at school.
Qin Zheng's expression turned sour after hearing her words.
"I'm not presentable enough?"
He doesn't think it's shameful to spread gossip about others.
But Mu Zhou clearly didn't think so.
"Qin Zheng, what happened to you? I thought we had made things clear, that we had broken up, and that there should be no further connection between us."
Mu Zhou was furious, but he couldn't say anything more hurtful.
However, his pale face and furrowed brows still hurt Qin Zheng.
He tried to hold back, but he couldn't:
Why have you suddenly changed? Do you always have to use such an impatient tone with me?
He suppressed his anger, but his voice still inevitably carried a hint of harsh questioning.
Mu Zhou subconsciously took a step back and emphasized again:
"Because we've already broken up."
The word "breakup" completely broke Qin Zheng's defenses, and the question that had been weighing on his mind for so long finally came out:
"So why did they break up? Everything was fine, so why?"
Mu Zhou looked into his eyes, and the sadness there seemed genuine, as if their breakup had really hit him hard.
She found it somewhat amusing.
"Qin Zheng, do you value this relationship that much?"
"What do you mean?!"
Qin Zheng felt instinctively angry when his feelings were questioned.
Mu Zhou replied lightly:
"I thought you only dated me because you thought I was suitable for marriage."
Qin Zheng's pupils constricted sharply, and the words he was about to say caught in his throat.
He instinctively reached out to take Mu Zhou's hand, but she dodged him with a smile.
"Is not it?"
Mu Zhou stared straight at him, as if trying to see through his heart.
Qin Zheng felt an unprecedented sense of panic.
He wanted to deny it, but felt inexplicably guilty.
However, it was clear that Mu Zhou had not come to question him.
She quickly tidied her slightly disheveled hair and casually remarked:
"But actually, Qin Zheng, do you know that you are not suitable for marriage at all? That's why I broke up with you."
Mu Zhou casually folded his graduation gown and draped it over his arm, advising:
"That's enough. Stop bothering me. It doesn't suit your image."
Her calm and indifferent words caused Qin Zheng's heart to shatter for a moment.
In that relationship, he thought he was the manipulator, the one with God's perspective, while Mu Zhou was the one who was fully committed.
But in reality, Mu Zhou was the one who enjoyed it.
She was fully engaged throughout the process, and she finished decisively and without any hesitation.
He, on the other hand, was the one who plunged headlong into it, thinking himself clear-headed, but in reality, he had long been deeply trapped.
He stood there, stunned, watching Mu Zhou leave so heartlessly, as if something was slowly collapsing.
Mu Zhou's originally slow pace suddenly became cheerful after he saw a certain figure.
"Professor Song? What brings you here?"
Mu Zhou was surprised that Song Chuyu would come.
He's also a university professor, so he should be very busy today too.
Song Chuyu lowered his eyes and looked at her, her head slightly tilted back, her bright black eyes staring at him without blinking, and his heart began to beat erratically.
His eyes rippled with emotion, yet he forced himself to maintain a gentle demeanor, offering his congratulations softly:
"Happy Graduation."
"Thank you, I received your flowers, I like them very much."
Mu Zhou was holding a bunch of lotus flowers that had just begun to bloom.
Her beauty surpasses even that of the flowers; she is more beautiful than the blossoms themselves.
Song Chuyu had always thought that beauty was the most superficial thing, but at this moment, he was still captivated by such beauty.
And they consciously succumbed to the enemy.
Actually, he was very busy today.
Taking various graduation photos, signing papers, and a whole host of other complicated tasks.
But he still rushed over without any hesitation.
A sense of lightness filled his heart, and his smile became even more genuine.
