Chapter 756 A Good Girl "Suitable" for Marriage (4)
On his way back to the private room, Mu Zhou ran into a colleague who was coming out.
The two went back together.
A colleague, who had been drinking, couldn't help but complain to her about their boss. She leaned closer and listened attentively.
Therefore, she did not notice the gaze of a man in a suit on her not far away.
The man looked away and, led by the waiter, went to a quiet private room.
"Mr. Lin, this is the private room that Mr. Qin reserved."
The waiter quietly left after opening the door to the private room.
As soon as Lin Chongze entered the room, he took off his coat and sat down opposite Qin Zheng.
He glanced at Qin Zheng's somewhat unpleasant expression and chuckled:
"What's going on here?"
Qin Zheng raised his eyelids slightly and spoke in a deep voice:
"fine."
He glanced one last time at his phone, which still had no new messages, and threw it on the table with a dark expression.
Lin Chongze took a sip of his drink and then realized something was wrong.
There were only two sets of cutlery on the table.
Wasn't it said that Qin Zheng would bring his girlfriend to welcome him?
Moreover, he had just seen Mu Zhou outside.
He assumed that Mu Zhou had run into a friend and was going to chat with him briefly.
Could it be that he misread it?
He asked tentatively:
"Where's your little girlfriend?"
Qin Zheng's eyes darkened instantly:
"She's in trouble."
"Then it seems he really misjudged," Lin Chongze thought.
Having known each other for over twenty years, Qin Zheng naturally noticed the change in his expression and asked:
"what happened?"
Lin Chongze flipped through the menu and casually said:
"On the way up here, I thought I saw your girlfriend, but if you said she was busy, then I must have been mistaken."
Upon hearing this, something flashed quickly across Qin Zheng's face.
He picked up his phone and sent a message to Mu Zhou.
【Where are you? 】
[Having dinner with colleagues.]
【address. 】
Mu Zhou chuckled as he looked at Qin Zheng's aggressive chat messages and generously shared his location.
Then she put away her phone without even asking why he had pressed her for an explanation.
They didn't even ask him where he was.
On the other side, Qin Zheng stared at the message in silence.
Although his guess was confirmed, he felt a nameless anger rising in his heart.
After a long pause, he finally asked his assistant to ask the restaurant to confirm where Mu Zhou was.
He maintained a cold expression throughout the text message. Lin Chongze's gaze shifted, and he asked:
"Am I not mistaken? It really is Mu Zhou."
Qin Zheng's expression was cold, and he tacitly agreed with his words.
Lin Chongze smiled and sighed:
"It seems this relationship isn't entirely under your control."
Qin Zheng raised his eyes, his cold gaze shooting towards him.
Lin Chongze poured himself a glass of wine, a playful smile on his face:
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."
He knew his good brother well.
Qin Zheng has always been a person with a strong desire for control.
He has very high standards for everything.
His academic performance, his career, and even his future family.
Everything was pre-planned by him according to his personal needs.
Lin Chongze had only met Mu Zhou once, but he noticed something amiss in their interactions.
Mu Zhou has always been accommodating to him.
Or rather, Qin Zheng valued her for her tolerant and forgiving qualities.
However, it seems that the little girl is not as Qin Zheng imagined, and does not devote herself to him wholeheartedly.
Lin Chongze suddenly found it interesting.
On Mu Zhou's side, the atmosphere was just right.
The team got along fairly well, and everyone had a good time chatting.
After discussing work, we inevitably started talking about our personal lives.
Everyone knew that Mu Zhou had a stable boyfriend, so they couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Mu Zhou, what does your boyfriend do?"
Mu Zhou's answer was ambiguous and vague:
"Start your own business."
"That's not very stable."
Mu Zhou nodded in agreement without changing his expression:
"really."
An older man said to her earnestly:
"When looking for a partner, you should find someone with a stable job, at least someone whose life is secure. Entrepreneurs tend to like to be in control and have too much of a need to be in a position of power, which is not suitable for you."
Mu Zhou fully agreed.
While they were chatting, Mu Zhou received a message from Qin Zheng.
He couldn't resist any longer and sent it to her first.
We're in the same restaurant. Are you in room 8306? I'm done here, I'll come find you.
Mu Zhou replied instantly:
"No need, you can go first, I'll wait a bit."
Qin Zheng, who had already reached the door, suddenly stopped raising his hand.
He stared at his phone screen, a hint of anger flickering in his eyes.
He has already contacted her and doesn't mind making their relationship public to her colleagues, but she is bothered by his presence.
She replied so urgently, clearly afraid that he would suddenly appear.
What is this doing?
Is he not presentable enough?
Qin Zheng did not think so.
At least in Shanghai, his reputation was invincible in the business world.
His status as her boyfriend would only benefit her work.
So why is she unwilling to go public?
Qin Zheng's dark eyes were cold and unfathomable.
He has always been the kind of person who is admired since childhood, and now his status and position mean that he no longer needs to bow his head at any time.
Now, taking the initiative to find Mu Zhou is already his limit.
Since she didn't appreciate it, he naturally didn't need to keep trying.
Qin Zhengjun's face turned icy, and he left without looking back, his expression stern.
*
It seemed that Qin Zheng and Mu Zhou had fallen into some kind of cold war.
They haven't been in contact for three days.
On Saturday, Mu Zhou went to the supermarket to shop and unexpectedly saw Qin Zheng's good friend Chen Xiang while checking out.
"sister in law."
The other person's face clearly showed surprise and delight.
Seeing that Mu Zhou had bought a lot of ingredients, he said knowingly:
"Are you going to cook for Brother Zheng? Perfect, let's go together, we're going to visit Brother Zheng too."
"visit?"
Mu Zhou was filled with doubt.
Seeing this, Chen Xiang said:
"Sister-in-law, don't you know that Brother Zheng is sick? He drank a bit too much at the dinner table last night, and now he has gastritis and a high fever."
Mu Zhou really didn't know that.
Seeing that she was still hesitating and didn't seem to want to visit, Chen Xiang took the shopping bag from her and pulled her into the car.
He finally understood why Brother Zheng had been so gloomy and irritable these past few days.
It turns out he had a fight with his sister-in-law.
Now that he's taken his sister-in-law there, Zheng Ge will definitely get better.

Mu Zhou was inexplicably taken to Qin Zheng's house.
The original owner often came here, always to cook for him, but never stayed overnight.
Qin Zheng had hinted that she could stay overnight, but each time she would shyly pretend not to understand.
The original owner was a very conservative person. Even though she liked Qin Zheng, she carefully maintained her bottom line.
After Qin Zheng realized her insistence, he stopped bringing it up and would even help her get home before curfew.
This touched the original owner deeply, making her feel that she had met someone on the same wavelength.
In the past, some boys at school pursued her, and some even tried to touch her inappropriately before they had even established a relationship, or even directly asked her to go to a hotel.
The original owner felt very offended by this.
Therefore, she felt even more affection for Qin Zheng, who respected her so much.
This further encourages his intimacy with others when he is out.
He's willing to cooperate with her, so she should always give in to him a little.
The door opened, and Lin Chongze was there too.
Upon seeing Mu Zhou, he raised an eyebrow and stood up to make room for Qin Zheng next to his bed.
