Chapter 1952: Was It Fun?

Gao Zhe had his hands soaking in hot water, gently massaging her feet, “I don’t want to deal with it. I’m very annoyed. Jin Rui is causing trouble, Zhou Dan is causing trouble, and his parents are causing trouble too. I asked Ji Dong to handle it. The residence is provided by the Zhou Family elders, and the bodyguards are theirs too. I’m merely showing my face. I thought this matter would end here, but who knew that after Jin Rui was put under house arrest, he would sneak out, and with his twisted thinking, he decided to seek revenge and ran to you with lies that the child is mine.”

Lu Zhenzhen said nothing.

She of course investigated, and the findings matched Gao Zhe’s words without a single deviation.

It was only after she confirmed that Jin Rui’s child had nothing to do with Gao Zhe that she was willing to sleep with him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t want something tainted.

She was angry, angry at him for hiding it, and also angry at his high-handed decision-making. His mouth was usually so sharp, but when it came time to explain, he became mute.

“And then?”

“Then I left Jin Rui to the Zhou Family. The Zhou Family didn’t want the person, just the child, and they placed the blame on me. I ended up falling out with them. The reason I later arranged for Jin Rui to have a different place to stay was merely to settle him down, so he wouldn’t bother me. I didn’t provide a single bodyguard; they could do whatever they wanted. It was the Zhou Family who found a place and sent their people there. They only wanted the child, but after Jin Rui’s previous escape, the watch was stricter this time. But before the Zhou Family had settled everything, you went ahead and took Jin Rui to the hospital for an abortion.”

Lu Zhenzhen acted on impulse, leading to a series of troublesome matters, and Gao Zhe blocked them all for her, not letting anyone disturb her.

During that period, although it couldn’t be said he was exhausted, he was definitely irritable. Plus, the company had taken on a big project requiring him to go abroad for a few days, making it impossible for him to divide his attention. Lu Zhenzhen didn’t receive the proper comfort, leading to a rift in their relationship that widened more and more.

Lu Zhenzhen pressed on, “Then let me ask you, when I asked if you were Jin Rui’s kid’s dad, why did you play mute? A matter that could be explained in two sentences, and you dragged it into a melodramatic series. Is that fun?”

Gao Zhe lowered his eyes, “I’m sorry.”

“I asked you more than once if the child was yours, and why did you never once explain?”

He pressed his lips together strongly, “Zhenzhen…”

Lu Zhenzhen kicked into his arms.

Gao Zhe’s shirt got wet, but he didn’t avoid it. After she was done kicking, he checked if her foot was okay.

“You’re mute again?”

Gao Zhe looked up, “Zhenzhen, I truly didn’t. For so many years, I’ve only had you. I’m sorry. I should have confessed to you from the start; then there wouldn’t have been so many issues later.”

Lu Zhenzhen’s lashes trembled, her nose felt sour, and her tone was equally sour, “And after that, why didn’t you come to find me?”

Gao Zhe again said nothing.

Actually, she had already found out.

The Zhou Family and that worthless Zhou Dan hired thugs to harm him. The first time, when Gao Zhe was abroad, he got injured, so he didn’t appear before Lu Zhenzhen for a long time. Later, although he was on guard, he still suffered some setbacks. He stopped being lenient and just three days ago sorted the Zhou Family out. Now the Zhou Family Company is in a chaotic state, unable to cope. Zhou Dan mysteriously suffers from relapsed illnesses, reaching critical stages where he might not be saved at any moment. As for Jin Rui, after losing the child, she slunk back to the countryside, never to appear again.

All concerns were resolved, and Gao Zhe came back.

He gently held Lu Zhenzhen’s foot, looking up at her from below, “Zhenzhen, I’ve thought it over; I can’t bear the thought of you growing old with another man. If you’re still willing, how about taking me back?”
