When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase
Chapter 1320: What Do You Think of My Brother?
Zhou Chengchen finished the call and turned around, only to see Xiao Rou had already come out of the shower and was drying her hair in her pajamas.
"Finished showering? Then it’s my turn."
Zhou Chengchen took her pajamas and went into the bathroom. She showered quickly, but when she came out, Xiao Rou was nowhere to be seen. Turning her head again, she saw Xiao Rou standing on the balcony, seemingly on a phone call. The sliding door was closed, so Zhou Chengchen couldn’t hear what she was saying.
But soon, Xiao Rou returned, holding her phone, with slightly red eyes but without tears. Her complexion wasn’t good.
"Did he call you?"
Zhou Chengchen asked with certainty, and Xiao Rou didn’t hide it and nodded.
"He apologized to me and wanted to reconcile."
"And you? What do you think?"
Xiao Rou’s eyes were a bit watery, but she shook her head decisively: "Impossible."
Zhou Chengchen opened her mouth; she definitely didn’t support Xiao Rou getting back with someone like that, not just because he harmed Xi Siyan, but because a person like that has character issues, and such a person is definitely not worth entrusting your life to.
But seeing Xiao Rou like this now, Zhou Chengchen felt it would just be rubbing salt in the wound to say those things.
Instead, Xiao Rou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "I’m fine, it’s just a breakup, not the first time, no big deal."
"Huh? You were in a relationship before?"
Zhou Chengchen got sidetracked, and a hint of unease flashed across Xiao Rou’s face, but it quickly dissipated. She smiled and didn’t elaborate.
Zhou Chengchen didn’t press further either. She had been away for three years, and during those three years, she didn’t know much about Xiao Rou’s affairs, and now wasn’t the time to ask.
"If you’re feeling bad, don’t hold it in; just let it out."
"I’m fine."
Xiao Rou spoke softly as always. The two didn’t discuss those unpleasant matters further and gossiped about some amusing work stories.
Ever since Zhou Chengchen appeared at the Zhou Family company that day, many knew she had an unusual relationship with the Zhou Family’s eldest daughter. Those who previously saw her as a little gopher and bossed her around no longer dared to do so, and some even intentionally or unintentionally tried to curry favor with her.
Xiao Rou is gentle and a bit timid, but that doesn’t mean she’s dumb. Regarding those people, Xiao Rou naturally just feigned politeness, and discussing it with Zhou Chengchen now, they actually found it quite amusing.
As they chatted, they truly put those unhappy matters behind them.
Before sleeping, Zhou Chengchen suddenly asked, "Little Rou’er, what do you think of my brother?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Seeing the clear innocence in Xiao Rou’s eyes, Zhou Chengchen sighed softly in her heart, deciding not to continue. She had no intention of playing matchmaker, as matters of the heart are journeys for two people.
If someone else gets involved, it might just backfire.
In the following days, Xiao Rou’s mood seemed to have eased a lot. When she went to work, Zhou Chengchen went to Xi Siyan’s company.
Although she didn’t understand much about those things, she could do something else for them, like ordering takeout.
Liu Xiaoyu’s wounds were no longer a big problem, though he still looked quite shocking. However, there was a determination about him that made people feel like after being beaten, he seemed to have transformed, from Xi Siyan’s little fan, into an overly zealous fan determined to protect his idol’s interests.
At noon, after lunch, during the most drowsy time of the day, even though Xi Siyan was working tirelessly, his body couldn’t resist, and he fell asleep on the desk.
