Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!
Chapter 841 - 346 I Can!_2

After watching for a while, Su Qing told Zhou Yuwen to go back to the room with her.

Zhou Yuwen said, "Isn't this inappropriate? Mom's still here."

In front of Su Qing, Zhou Yuwen directly called Pan Min 'Mom.'

That's how it was in the past life.

A heartfelt respect.

"What are you afraid of? She's been through this herself, she should understand us youngsters," Su Qing said.

Zhou Yuwen laughed at this and said, "If some punk sleeps with my daughter at my house in the future, I'll chop him up."

Su Qing puffed her cheeks and said, "But I've been fatherless since I was a kid!"

Zhou Yuwen recalled the jokes he used to make with Su Qing in their past life and pulled her close, saying, "From now on, I'm your dad!"

"You're so annoying! Get lost!"

Su Qing pushed Zhou Yuwen away.

Zhou Yuwen chuckled.

After a while, Su Qing dragged Zhou Yuwen into the room, saying she'd show him something fun once they got inside.

Zhou Yuwen said he wouldn't go.

But Su Qing insisted he must.

People say men's attitudes change before and after marriage, and it seems true.

Especially since Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing had a marriage before.

Now it was Su Qing clinging to Zhou Yuwen.

While Zhou Yuwen responded with indifference.

Eventually, Zhou Yuwen, cornered by Su Qing, whispered, "Not at home, it's disrespectful. Let's go to the car."

Su Qing tugged at Zhou Yuwen for a long time but couldn't move him, and upon hearing this, burst out laughing, "You're full of sneaky ideas!"

So Zhou Yuwen took Su Qing to the car, where they watched butterflies spreading their wings.

Since eleven thirty, the fireworks across the entire city began bursting nonstop in the sky.

The night sky in the small city was painted bright red by the fireworks.

At the final minute.

Televisions across the nation began playing that familiar tune.

Several hosts gathered together, holding microphones, speaking of reflections on the past and hopes for the future.

Then came the countdown.

The fireworks in the sky exploded even more densely, one after the other, shooting upwards.

Whizz~Bang!

Whizz~Bang!

"1!"

"Happy New Year!"

The Spring Festival Gala began sending New Year greetings. The fireworks outside the window painted the sky crimson.

Below the old, shabby apartment building where Su Qing's family lived, even the massive silhouette of a BMW X7 swayed in rhythm with the sound of exploding fireworks.

The sound of the fireworks masked the noises inside the car.

Due to the temperature difference between the outside and inside of the car, the car windows were misted over with a thick haze.

At that moment, suddenly, a tender little hand appeared on the neck, leaving a handprint.

Evidently, Su Qing and Zhou Yuwen inside the car were working hard.

"Ding ding ding!"

On the last day of the New Year, Zhou Yuwen's phone rang non-stop, with messages from people all over the country wishing him a Happy New Year. Familiar people aside, even some of Zhou Yuwen's admirers used this opportunity to say a word to him.

For instance, the female classmates who had secretly adored Zhou Yuwen at school.

For instance, the girls in his class.

Although none of these girls confessed, no one knew for sure if they liked Zhou Yuwen.

At this moment, the class president Gu Yaoyao,

Classmates Liu Yue, Ma Tian, and Li Jing,

And girls from other schools all sent New Year's greetings.

Even some of Zhou Yuwen's subordinates sent him messages.

Gao Yang: "Boss! Happy New Year (salute)"

Lv Hui: "Mr. Zhou, wishing you prosperity in the New Year! (playful)"

Even Zhu Hong sent him: "Xiao Zhou, Happy New Year."

Zhou Yuwen was busy at this moment and only finished replying to everyone by 12:01 a.m., comfortably lounging in the back seat of the car.

Whew, on such a cold day, sweating feels really good.

Su Qing, her hair fully drenched, was also draped in just Zhou Yuwen's jacket, one long leg stretched out, with one of her beautiful feet resting behind Zhou Yuwen.

Su Qing pushed back her wet hair and said, "Open the window and get some air. It's so hot."

Zhou Yuwen said, "Don't catch a cold."

"It won't happen."

The two rested together for a while before Zhou Yuwen began replying to the messages, excluding those from mere acquaintances. For those with actual connections, he had to reply.

He even sent out red packets to subordinates like Gao Yang to show appreciation.

Originally, Zhou Yuwen intended to send one to Lv Hui.

But just as Zhou Yuwen replied to Lv Hui with: "You too,"

Lv Hui immediately replied: "Mr. Zhou, it's New Year's. Aren't you going to send a red packet? (playful)"

Zhou Yuwen sent an ellipsis back.

After thinking for a bit, he ultimately sent her a red packet worth 200.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. You're the best (kiss emoji)"

Zhou Yuwen glanced at it but didn't respond further to Lv Hui.

Su Qing wanted to go upstairs to shower and asked Zhou Yuwen if he wanted to join her.

Zhou Yuwen put his phone away and said, "You go up. I've got to head home."

"You're not taking a shower?"

"I'll shower at home. Your mom's here, how could I shower?"

"Hmm, so we have to separate then?"

"Just for a day."

"Hubby, I don't want to leave you." Su Qing pouted.

Looking at her pitiful expression, Zhou Yuwen secretly chuckled, leaned over, and kissed her. The two kissed in the car for quite a while.

Only then did Su Qing, wrapped in her jacket, leave.

Zhou Yuwen started the car.

At that moment, Zhou Yuwen's phone lit up again, and he assumed it was another New Year message. He didn't check it.

Lv Hui: "Uh! Mr. Zhou, sorry, I sent the wrong thing earlier. I meant to send (grinning emoji) but made a mistake (awkward emoji)"

Zhou Yuwen didn't see it, so naturally, he didn't respond.

At this moment, Lv Hui was feeling a bit uneasy, regretting her impulsivity. She knew full well Zhou Yuwen wasn't interested in her, yet she couldn't help trying.

Ah, women—they're always so unsatisfied.

She really wanted to tell Zhou Yuwen that, on several occasions, she had imagined Liu Shuo as him.

Ultimately, however, she controlled herself.

Lv Hui felt she was growing increasingly abnormal.

Back when she lived in a rented room, she used to dream of finding a better-paying job, eating good food, and buying nice clothes.

Now that she had all of that, Lv Hui realized she wasn't happy at all.

During these few days Liu Shuo had been back home, Lv Hui was living alone in a three-bedroom apartment. Over the past month of the New Year, Lv Hui had certainly helped Zhou Yuwen quite a bit, earning double her regular salary plus bonuses—making around eight or nine thousand.

For Lv Hui, this was undeniably a substantial sum.

But Lv Hui found herself at a loss for what to do with her time.

With nothing else to occupy her, Lv Hui curled up in her apartment, binge-watching TV dramas and playing games, even too lazy to cook. Even during the New Year, she was eating instant noodles.

It was so boring.

So, when she was messaging Zhou Yuwen earlier, what was initially just a casual New Year greeting turned impulsively into her hinting at something.

But Zhou Yuwen didn't take the bait.

Lv Hui felt disappointed. She thought to herself that she wasn't bad-looking, had posted plenty of sultry photos on her social media, so why couldn't she attract Zhou Yuwen?

While Lv Hui was feeling down.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

Lv Hui thought it was Zhou Yuwen replying to her and hurried to check.

But she saw it was:

Li Qiang: Babe, Happy New Year (grinning emoji)

[Transfer 520]

Seeing this message, Lv Hui felt indifferent.

She no longer cared about 520.

To her, even though Li Qiang was a Capital city native, he was still just a student with no money to his name.

If she accepted it, it would only make her seem cheap.

So she chose to return it.

"I'll take the sentiment, thanks."

At this moment, in a certain Jinling restaurant's back kitchen, eating fish sauce over rice, Li Qiang saw the returned 520 and grinned, thinking to himself that Sister Hui truly was different from other women. This time, he felt he had found the right person.

"Why didn't you want it (question mark)? This is my love for you."

"It's meaningless. You men are always giving red packets or transfers, talking about love. But you never understand that we women don't really want those things."

"Then what do you want, Sister Hui?" Li Qiang asked.

Lv Hui said, "Telling you is pointless."

Li Qiang said, "How will I know if you don't tell me?"

Lv Hui was quite irritable at this point; she had reached a crossroads in her life.

When her basic needs were met, she began pursuing spiritual fulfillment.

But Liu Shuo clearly couldn't provide that for her.

So she could only vent her frustration on Li Qiang, saying, "Would it matter if I told you?

You're in the Capital city; I'm in Jinling.

There's a 1,500-kilometer gap between us."

"You keep saying you love me."

"So let me ask you, if I asked you to come to me tomorrow, could you do it?" Lv Hui had no idea what she was saying, just randomly throwing a tantrum.

What she didn't expect was for Li Qiang to reply firmly: "I can!"
