Ever since he woke up, Yao Zizhou had been thinking a lot, especially after the car accident. He had thought that his life would be dark for the rest of his life, but he had not expected that someone would open a crack in his frozen heart and let the warmth flow in again.
Even though Ming Liuyi had done some bad things before, it was all in the past. Yao Zizhou wanted to give himself and Ming Liuyi a chance to get to know each other again. Perhaps, everything would be different in the future. Yao Zizhou also understood that the reason he could wake up so quickly was because of Ming Liuyi’s tender care… and also because he heard that Ming Liuyi was going abroad to leave him.
Before he could even consider his own situation, Yao Zizhou became furious. The beast in his body broke out of its cage and miraculously woke up. So, no matter what, he would not let Ming Liuyi leave him. But if he did not want Ming Liuyi to leave, he had to find a reason that she could not refuse.
It was not a good thing to be stubborn, it would only make Ming Liuyi want to leave him even more. What Yao Zizhou wanted to do was to make Ming Liuyi willingly stay and never leave. Yao Zizhou blinked his eyes, revealing a very pitiful expression that would make anyone’s heart ache.
“I need your help.”
Ever since he was injured, he knew that fame and fortune was not everything anymore. Even if he gave the company to Yao Ziyang, so what? However, if Yao Ziyang still tried to kill him or hurt the people around him, Yao Zizhou would not let him go easily. He would make Yao Ziyang pay a painful price.
Yao Zizhou did not need Ming Liuyi’s help, because she could not even help herself, but it was a very awkward reason to keep her by his side. Yao Zizhou frowned and thought for a moment.
As if he had come to a very difficult decision, he lightly said, “If you help me get back the Yao Corporation, I’ll give you what you want.”
Could he really satisfy what she wanted? There were no other conditions? Ming Liuyi did not expect Yao Zizhou to be like this, and it seemed like she was really moved by him. This result did not conflict with what she wanted to say. Ming Liuyi knew that it would not be difficult for Yao Zizhou to take back the Yao’s group, and it would not take long.
“Alright, it’s a deal.”
But Ming Liuyi did not realize that Yao Zizhou was just playing the donkey and carrot game. First he showed weakness, then he would win with the last strike. What Ming Liuyi wanted was freedom, but Yao Zizhou called it a “second credit card”, which was completely different. Ming Liuyi still did not know that Yao Zizhou had secretly changed the concept, happily thinking that her negotiation had gone smoothly.
Ming Liuyi thought, ‘It’s good to know the plot of the story.’ After knowing the future development, all these decisions were easy. Yao Zizhou would take back the Yao family on his own, and Ming Liuyi did not need to do anything. In Ming Liuyi’s eyes, freedom was beckoning her. She even thought that today was a good day. If Yao Zizhou could drink alcohol, she would open a bottle to celebrate.
The more Ming Liuyi thought about it, the happier she was. Now, her fate had changed. From a supporting role who was about to be crushed by the male lead, she had a mutually beneficial friendship with the male lead as teammates who relied on each other. In the future, she did not have to worry about the male lead getting angry one day, or about someone suddenly coming to help the male lead destroy her. There would be no more surprise developments after this.
Yao Zizhou tried to suppress his pride. Although he could not see Ming Liuyi’s expression, he could feel her joy. In his eyes, Ming Liuyi was quite cute. Not only did she take the bait, but she was blissfully unaware of it.
Yao Zizhou adjusted his mood and casually said, “Since we’ve already come to an agreement. You can tell me about what happened at home over the past two months.”
Ming Liuyi hesitated for a moment. A lot of things had happened during this period of time, but most of them had already been resolved. It was fine for now. Yao Zizhou had just woken up, so she could not let him be too tired. After all, there would not be so many things to do in the future.
Ming Liuyi thought for a moment and said to Yao Zizhou in a gentle voice,”Nothing much happened here. I’ve already settled everything. Isn’t it good? You don’t have to worry so much now.”
