Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!
Chapter 831 - 342: Confrontation with Su Qing_2

Seeing Zhou Yuwen act so cold and indifferent, Su Qing felt a pang of grievance, yet she couldn't bear to watch him leave.

Unable to contain herself, she got out of the car and called out, "Zhou Yuwen!"

Zhou Yuwen turned around and asked, "What is it now?"

Su Qing said nothing, instead she rushed forward and threw her arms around him.

A spontaneous embrace like this—

Zhou Yuwen was sure to accept it.

She buried her head in his chest, then lifted her face again, her eyes already swollen and red, exuding a delicate charm that tugged at his heartstrings. Zhou Yuwen immediately softened his voice, "What's wrong? Why are you crying now?"

"Who bullied you? Sweetheart, please stop crying, alright?"

The street lamps of the residential district cast cold white light, and the surroundings were less than favorable. Yet Su Qing held tight to Zhou Yuwen under the light, refusing to let go, and Zhou Yuwen gently held her slender waist, swaying softly as he consoled her.

Between sobs, Su Qing complained to Zhou Yuwen, saying he was bad, and no longer willing to comfort her like he used to.

"How was I supposed to know he was lying? All I wanted was just a little reassurance," Su Qing said with a pout, her face full of grievance.

Zhou Yuwen gave an innocent smile and replied, "But I *am* comforting you, aren't I, my little lady?"

"When Aunt Pan was around, didn't I keep coaxing you all the way? The car, the house—weren't those meant to make you happy? Did we ever have these luxuries before?"

"Is that what I care about?" Su Qing persisted, her lips still in a pout.

Zhou Yuwen sighed, "Then honestly, I don't know what else I can do."

The two fell into silence again.

Seeing Su Qing remain quiet, Zhou Yuwen finally took the initiative to whisper softly into her ear, "Sweetheart, you should know—"

"No matter how many women I may have in the future, your place in my heart will always be special. The others are all meaningless, but what you and I have is real. Even in our past life, you allowed me to fool around with other female college students, so why can't you accept my relationships with other women now?"

What Zhou Yuwen said was indeed true. For other women, he might deceive or hide things, but with Su Qing, he felt there was no need for pretense anymore.

Their relationship was unique. Could he really keep playing innocent love games with Su Qing?

It was better to just be honest.

"You and your mom—I genuinely see both of you as family, and I'll absolutely take responsibility for you two forever."

"But I can't solely be responsible for just you two."

"Yanyan and I have already been intimate. It's impossible for me to leave her now."

Zhou Yuwen lowered his head and murmured softly, while Su Qing listened in silence. Though she wanted to refute, she couldn't find a valid argument.

In their past life, she had indeed caught Zhou Yuwen in bed with a female college student at home.

But back then, they were already divorced!

Su Qing brought up that detail.

And Zhou Yuwen's defense was even simpler: "Well, at least back then we were divorced. Right now, we haven't even gotten married yet. So whatever I do with other women now—is it against the law?"

Hmm. Apparently, it wasn't illegal.

Su Qing's mind briefly tangled itself in knots. When she seriously thought it over, it seemed he was right.

Zhou Yuwen reached out to hold her again and said, "See? You don't really mind me being with other girls. And you genuinely love me, while I genuinely love you. So why can't we just be together like this?"

Su Qing lowered her head, deep in thought, without saying a word.

Zhou Yuwen asked her, "So, have you thought it through?"

"Wife."

He called her "wife," then leaned in to nibble her ear, blowing softly into it. Su Qing's ears were quite sensitive, and during their intimate moments, Zhou Yuwen loved nibbling her ears—it always made her body go soft, leaving her murmuring quietly.

Just like that, Su Qing suddenly felt her legs weaken, leaning her flushed face into Zhou Yuwen's embrace. Her voice had softened considerably, but she still stubbornly said, "Y-You… stop… stop coaxing me!"

Under the light, Su Qing's slightly parted lips and bright, luminous eyes made her look utterly tempting. Zhou Yuwen chuckled to himself and said, "Just tell me—should I coax you or not?"

"Hmph!" Su Qing pouted but didn't clearly state her answer, though it seemed she had tacitly agreed.

Zhou Yuwen, not holding back, lowered his head and kissed Su Qing's lips directly.

Under the streetlights, the two fell into another deep kiss.

By now, Zhou Yuwen had completely won Su Qing over.

After all, Su Qing was still new to intimacy in this life, and her first experience had been carefully guided by Zhou Yuwen—it left her captivated.

Held tightly in Zhou Yuwen's arms, Su Qing resembled a tipsy little girl, unable to stand steady. Blinking her eyes, she whispered softly to Zhou Yuwen, "You may have other women, but I can't control you."

"But you must promise me one thing."

"What is it?" Zhou Yuwen asked with a smile.

Su Qing said, "No matter how many women you have in the future, I must always be the one you love most! And you must marry me someday!"

Zhou Yuwen said, "Sure! You've always been my favorite, sweetheart!"

"Marriage? Of course, it's a given!"

"Hmph!" Su Qing pouted.

But Zhou Yuwen chuckled and kissed her lips again.

In Zhou Yuwen's mind, these two "conditions" weren't so difficult. First, he didn't take them seriously. Second, he did plan to marry Su Qing, but someday when his means allowed it, he would also marry each of the other girls—that's how he could take full responsibility for them.

Yet one thing was genuine: Su Qing undeniably held a special place in his heart. No matter what happened to their relationship, Zhou Yuwen would always support Su Qing and her mother for life.

The two kissed under the lamp for a while longer. Su Qing then clung to Zhou Yuwen's waist, resting her head on his shoulder, sleepily saying, "Husband, I want more."

"So greedy? What do you want now?"

The two exchanged playful whispers in the deserted area.

"You're so annoying!" Su Qing blushed furiously.

Zhou Yuwen said, "Come on, tell me what you want! If you don't say, how will I know?"

"You!"

Su Qing was truly embarrassed, but Zhou Yuwen was relentless, insisting she spell it out.

At that moment, as they embraced, their bodies pressed together, separated only by their clothing. Su Qing could feel Zhou Yuwen's heat, and her face turned even redder. Despite feeling shy, she bit her lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I want my husband's..."

She didn't finish her sentence, when suddenly the tightly shut iron gate swung open.

Standing there, Zhou Yuwen's mother, Yang Lirong, appeared as if she had coincidentally caught them embracing each other at her doorstep.

The two quickly separated, embarrassed beyond words. Su Qing's face turned as red as a tomato as she lowered her head and stammered, "Auntie."

"Oh."

Yang Lirong froze for a good moment before reacting, "Why are you two standing at the door? Come inside and sit down!"

"No, no, that's okay!"

Su Qing quickly waved her hands, saying, "Auntie, it's getting late. I'll head home now. Please rest early."

With that, she waved to Zhou Yuwen and indicated she was leaving first.

Zhou Yuwen nodded and said, "I'll come find you tomorrow."

Yang Lirong continued being polite, saying, "Why are you leaving already?"

"Come inside for a chat!"

Su Qing quickly got into her car and drove away like she was fleeing, her face still flushed.

As Su Qing drove off, Yang Lirong stood there smiling warmly and waving.

After Su Qing was finally gone, Yang Lirong suddenly remarked, "This little white car is lovely. A new car, isn't it?"

"Uh, yeah, it is," Zhou Yuwen replied.

"So nice. I'm nearly fifty and haven't even driven a sedan like that."

Hearing this, Zhou Yuwen felt something amiss. Taking a closer look at his mother's eyes—

"Uh, Mom, I'm feeling really tired now. I'd better head inside to sleep."

He said this with the intention of quickly excusing himself.

"Did I say you could leave?"

"...."

And just like that, Zhou Yuwen was pulled aside by his mother for a long, heartfelt family meeting.

The kind of meeting that even dragged in Zhou Guobin, who had been busy playing cards in the study.

Above all, Zhou Guobin added nonchalantly, "Isn't it just buying a car? It's his own money, what's the big deal?"
