“I’m okay. I am not fragile like glass,” Su Wen reassured, her tone devoid of pretentiousness.
Zhou Hengyang’s thin lips moved closer to Su Wen’s ear as he whispered flirtatiously, “In my heart, you’re just a jade doll.” His breath, like an invisible caress, made her shiver as if an electric current had passed through her ears.
It felt as though her ears were tingling with an unexpected sensation.
Su Wen’s cheeks flushed red, unable to handle the flirtation. Unlike him, she wasn’t shameless enough to endure such public flirts, so she pretended to be serious.
“Hmm!” Zhou Hengguang tapped his fingers on the table twice. “That’s enough! There’s still a single man here! Please don’t affect me.”
Su Wen pretended not to hear him.
Zhou Hengyang raised his eyebrows at his Third Brother and teased, “With so many girls liking you, are you still single? You’re not Xiaoxiao’s cousin. ” Even in his absence, Xu Xiaoxiao was not spared from teasing.
Zhou Hengguang’s lips curled into a gloating smile. “With Cousin Xiaoxiao as a foil, life feels beautiful!”
Su Wen was rendered speechless.
She pitied his cousin.
After Zhou Hengguang uncorked the red wine, the two brothers poured a third of the wine each. “Sister-in-law, want some wine?”
“I don’t drink. You guys enjoy!”
Su Wen refused, and Zhou Hengguang didn’t force her.
“You said it would take about a week to return. Why are you back so soon?” Zhou Hengguang inquired casually. “Did you take a flight back?”
“Yes! Your sister-in-law is prone to carsickness, and she was worried about Su
Qing and Su Xiu at home. We came back after registering in Capital.” Zhou Hengyang’s hand, discreetly beneath the table, holding Su Wen’s hand briefly before reluctantly letting go.
Wen Wen had endured a lot on this trip, and it was partly his fault. His wife’s body couldn’t endure it any longer.
It was fine at home, but once they boarded the train, fatigue set in. After a whole day and night on the train, holding her in his arms as she drifted off, Zhou Hengyang’s heart ached terribly.
“Cousin got transferred to the capital, so I asked him to fly us back,” Zhou Hengyang explained casually, dismissing the use of Xu Xiaoxiao’s private plane.
Su Wen’s face reddened as she pulled her hand from under the tablecloth. At Zhou Hengyang’s words, her mouth twitched uncontrollably.
She could finally discern the class difference.
Su Wen never imagined she’d get the chance to take a private plane in her lifetime. Business trips were routine, but she lacked influential connections. The idea of boarding a private plane was far-fetched. The memory of accompanying Zhou Hengyang to the private airport to meet Xu Xiaoxiao lingered in her mind.
It drew attention, and the gazes were intense.
She nearly missed the flight and was warmly invited to stay in the capital.
This was the first time Su Wen realized Zhou Hengyang’s popularity. It was the same when they entered the factory. Everyone was excited about Zhou Hengyang’s return, including the security guard and factory manager. They realized how great the big boss was.
What Su Wen didn’t know was that everyone’s excitement was entirely due to the contrast provided by Zhou Hengguang. With the presence of someone as devilish as Zhou Hengguang, everyone realized how great the big boss was. He never ridiculed anyone, and his words were just the right touch. Meanwhile, Zhou Hengguang forced people to work overtime, showcasing ruthlessness and coldness..
