Chapter 755 A Good Girl "Suitable" for Marriage (3)
Mu Zhou turned to lie on his side on the bed, pondering the original owner's wishes.
She has always had this kind of personality for the past twenty years. Before she met Qin Zheng, she had only met very good people.
She didn't want to change herself because of Qin Zheng.
Therefore, her wish was to stay away from Qin Zheng and live a peaceful and ordinary life according to her original plan.
If she were to get married, she would hope to find someone who truly understands her, likes her, and is compatible with her.
Instead of valuing her "good girl" qualities and marrying her as his wife.
Like the original owner, Mu Zhou didn't think there was anything wrong with these "good girl" qualities.
She hugged the big rabbit in her arms, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
*
The next morning, when Mu Zhou woke up, his mother had already gone to work.
She has surgery this morning and needs to leave early.
My father has already bought breakfast and put it on the table.
Mu Zhou drank a glass of warm water and called out, "Dad."
After seeing Mu Zhou get up, the father said:
"Perfect timing, the soy milk has just been ground."
Mu Zhou sat down and picked up a fried dough stick.
Freshly fried dough sticks are crispy and crunchy, and they also have a unique flavor when soaked in soy milk.
The mother's work at the hospital was very busy, sometimes even involving working day and night, so from a young age, the father took on more responsibility for taking care of the original owner.
The original owner of this body also wanted to find a gentle and family-oriented man like her father.
My father is a university teacher. His job is relatively easy. He goes home when he doesn't have classes and also has winter and summer vacations.
When he was little, the original owner often went with his father to the hospital where his mother worked to deliver meals to her.
In her view, her parents' loving relationship, mutual support, and simple, ordinary life represent the most fulfilling marriage and love in her heart.
Therefore, she has always longed for love and marriage.
I don't know why, but after meeting Qin Zheng, the original owner gradually changed herself for him.
She accepted that he frequently stayed out all night for work and came home drunk.
Or perhaps they are away on business trips from time to time, and you might not see them for a month or two.
And his friends who indulge in eating, drinking, and having fun.
She accepted it all without even realizing it.
Mu Zhou finished the last sip of soy milk, put down the bowl, and her father handed her a peeled egg.
"Have another egg."
Mu Zhou obediently ate another egg before getting ready to go to work.
Her parents didn't interfere much with her work, since she was very organized and didn't need them to worry about her.
*
It was another busy day. When Mu Zhou went to the break room to make coffee, she saw that Qin Zheng had sent her a message.
Contact me after get off work, and I'll pick you up.
She replied with one message:
[Our department is having dinner tonight, so you don't need to pick me up.]
Meanwhile, Qin Zheng was attending a science and technology seminar.
He showed no emotion when he saw his phone screen light up and Mu Zhou's name appear.
As if he hadn't seen anything, he continued listening to the other people's speeches.
It wasn't until an hour and a half later, when the seminar was temporarily paused, that he leisurely picked up his phone.
Then I saw the message that Mu Zhou had refused.
He frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and then replied:
[Lin Chongze is back from abroad, and we're having a welcome-back party for him.]
Lin Chongze was his childhood friend; they grew up together and had a very good relationship. Moreover, they also had business dealings and had jointly invested in a new project.
Mu Zhou only met Lin Chongze once before he went abroad.
But she had heard about him from Qin Zheng many times and knew that he was a very important friend of Qin Zheng.
Therefore, after sending the message, Qin Zheng assumed almost without thinking that Mu Zhou would definitely change his mind and agree.
She never refuses his important friends or requests.
But soon, the nonchalant look on his lips froze.
He stared at the message Mu Zhou had sent, his eyes narrowing.
Oh, okay, have fun then.
This means they don't intend to come.
Qin Zheng frowned, a cold look creeping across his face. He remained silent for a long while, his expression still grim.
He put his phone away and didn't reply.
Mu Zhou didn't send any more messages until he got off work.
*
After get off work, Mu Zhou took her friend's arm, and the group left together in a car.
This was Mu Zhou's first proper dinner together since he started working here.
The location chosen by the manager was also quite upscale; it was a well-known specialty restaurant in the city.
Halfway through the meal, Mu Zhou received a call from a friend studying abroad and got up to leave the private room.
She strolled slowly up the stairs, chatting casually with her friend.
People often do some bizarre things when they're on the phone.
So when Mu Zhou was about to hang up the phone, she realized that she had walked to an unfamiliar floor. There was a large indoor fountain wishing well here, and the environment was much better than the floor where she was eating.
She looked up again and realized that she was already on the third floor.
She told her friend about it, and her friend said she was lucky she was in a restaurant, otherwise she might have walked straight to the Mediterranean Sea.
Mu Zhou couldn't help but chuckle.
Before the laughter had subsided, a girl suddenly walked up to her and said aggressively:
"What are you laughing at? Is it funny that I was rejected after confessing my feelings?!"
Mu Zhou looked bewildered, not quite reacting to the sudden appearance of the girl.
Her friend on the other end of the phone asked her what was wrong, but not wanting to worry her friend, she said she had something to do and then hung up.
Although the girl in front of me looked fierce, she was clearly holding back tears in her eyes.
Not far behind her stood a man in a white shirt and black trousers.
Clearly, a confession had just taken place here, and the girl's confession failed. Mu Zhou happened to be on the phone and laughed.
As a result, she was implicated.
After understanding the situation, Mu Zhou took the initiative to apologize:
"Sorry, I wasn't laughing at you. I was just on the phone with a friend."
The girl naturally knew as well; she had just seen it too—Mu Zhou was still on the phone.
She only felt she had lost face, so she vented her shame, anger, and resentment on Mu Zhou.
Seeing that she apologized so kindly, he was momentarily speechless and couldn't say anything else.
Just then, the man walked over. Unable to face him, she stomped her foot and hurriedly went downstairs and left.
Only Mu Zhou and the man remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.
The man had a refined and elegant appearance; his features were like a landscape painting, serene and timeless, with every stroke perfectly executed.
He exuded a strong scholarly aura.
He was wearing a simple white shirt, with the cuffs rolled up a few times to expose his elbows.
Even after rolling it up several times, the cuffs remained smooth and even.
It is clear that he is a meticulous person.
Even without him saying a word, Mu Zhou had a strange feeling that he was a scholar.
When he looked at Mu Zhou, his gaze was focused and gentle, and the guilt in his voice was obvious:
"I'm sorry that my personal matters have involved you. I apologize."
Mu Zhou was most afraid of someone apologizing to her; her face flushed slightly, and she quickly waved her hand.
"No need, I've already explained it clearly. Besides, it was my mistake that I wandered in here and disturbed you."
Mu Zhou tilted her head slightly, glanced at him again, and then hurriedly left.
After walking away, she could clearly hear the 0001 notification sound.
