Chapter 1770: Do You Care About Me? (1)
The sudden touch on her wrist made Qin Su stop in her tracks in an instant. She turned her head to look at Zhou Zimo with her brows slightly furrowed. She looked at her wrist that was being held by a large hand before she looked up at Zhou Zimo. Her gaze was very cold.
Zhou Zimo did not let go. Instead, he tightened his large hand slightly and took a step forward. He looked down at Qin Su from above.
Feeling the pain in her wrist, Qin Su’s brows furrowed even tighter. Her entire body subconsciously struggled for a moment, her gaze carrying a warning. It was obvious that she wanted him to let go as soon as possible.
“I’ll send you back.”
Zhou Zimo’s tone was not as easy to negotiate as before. At this moment, there was a hint of dominance in his voice. After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Qin Su to reply and pulled Qin Su towards the car that was not far away from him.
Qin Su’s brows were tightly knitted. She was being pulled by him passively. She struggled a few times but could not break free. It was not until she reached the side of the car that Zhou Zimo opened the door of the passenger seat and was forced in that she regained her freedom.
Zhou Zimo also quickly got into the car. Seeing that she did not move, he leaned over and helped her to fasten her seatbelt.
Qin Su, on the other hand, was calm. Her expression did not change as she watched him do all of that. She could not be bothered to reject him, so she just leaned against the seat behind her and lowered the car window. With one hand leaning against the car window, she propped up her head and looked out of the window silently.
“I’m not a bad person. You don’t have to be so wary of me. I don’t have any ill intentions.”
Zhou Zimo laughed and said.
“Under my nose, I don’t think you dare to have any ill intentions. What my mother said today was also a joke, don’t have to take it seriously. Just do what you need to do. She’s a little delusional right now.”
“I don’t think it’s a big deal. Auntie and I really hit it off.”
Zhou Zimo said as he gave her a side glance.
“Although my mother and my father don’t get along very well, that doesn’t mean you have a chance.”
“Qin Su, you know what I mean. Does saying that make you feel good?”
Zhou Zimo furrowed his brows and started the car. He also glanced at her unhappily.
“I’m sorry if it makes you feel uncomfortable, I just don’t want to owe you a favor. I’ve already told you the reason just now.”
“In my eyes, you’re very cultured and accomplished. I’ve just never seen a woman as unromantic as you.”
She was like an ice mountain that was always within reach.
Of course, Zhou Zimo did not say the last sentence.
Qin Su did not continue her sentence and did not turn to look at him. Instead, she was silent for a while before she said unhurriedly, “But then again, I’m really grateful for you today.”
“When did you, Officer Qin Su, become so polite? You’re still the same as you were in the past. You haven’t changed much, and you’re still very rigid. Haven’t you considered leaving the army? It should be very easy for someone like you to find a leisurely job in the department. Women like you don’t need to be so overworked.”
Zhou Zimo sped up the car and said this very seriously.
“We’ll see, I have no plans to move anywhere at the moment. I’ll just go along with the arrangements.”
Qin Su’s life was mostly in the military. She might not be used to life outside. Although she could choose to work elsewhere with her current circumstances, she had no plans to go anywhere else.
“You can’t spend your entire life in the military camp. It’s enough to have experienced it. There’s no need to bury all your youth inside, especially a woman like you. The world outside is very exciting, you should come out and take a look.”
“I don’t agree with your thoughts. Whether it’s a wonderful life depends on whether that person likes it or not and whether it’s suitable for that person’s life. At least, for now, I think that life in the military camp is very good for me,” Qin Su replied indifferently.
He almost forgot that this woman was sometimes so stubborn that it can be infuriating. However, her serious look made him..
“It’s not easy to change careers. I also want to pursue a job that I like. My thoughts are simple, so naturally, I can’t compare to you guys. If I think too much about it, I’ll feel tired.”
“What will you think about?” Zhou Zimo asked.
He had never seen her care about anything.
“What do you mean by the action of thinking?”
Qin Su was very direct.
Hearing this, Zhou Zimo smiled cheerfully and coughed lightly, saying, “Just take it that I have ulterior motives, if this makes you feel a little better.”
“It’s been so many years. I’ve asked around about you and knew that you went to the northwest. I also thought that you had already…”
Zhou Zimo paused for a moment when he said this. He suddenly glanced at her from the corner of his eyes before continuing to ask, “It’s been so many years. Why are you still on your own?”
Zhou Zimo did not feel that he was being rude, so he asked anyway.
Upon hearing this, Qin Su quieted down and blinked. Her eyes were still focused on the street outside, and her voice was low—
“Aren’t you the same? Why aren’t you married yet?”
Qin Su asked back.
Zhou Zimo looked at her deeply, then he quickly averted his gaze and focused on the traffic ahead. After a while, he replied, “I didn’t meet anyone who made me want to. Besides, there’s a hurdle in my heart that I can’t get over.”
Of course, he would not tell her now that the hurdle in his heart was actually related to her. If he had not told Mu Yuchen before, only he, Zhou Zimo, would know.
When she heard this, Officer Qin Su was a little surprised. She looked at him suspiciously. “I can’t believe that a person like you would have a TV-like melodramatic past?”
“Since you’ve said melodramatic, then they only happen in TV dramas, it won’t happen to me. It’s not what you think.” Zhou Zimo explained.
Qin Su’s eyes flickered. “I wasn’t guessing anything about you, because what you said really made me think of those drama scenes.”
“I answered, what about you? Why aren’t you married? It’s been so many years. I really thought that you…”
Zhou Zimo’s tone contained a hint of probing.
Qin Su’s gaze was as indifferent as the wind. She leaned gently against the back of the chair and gave him a sideways glance. Then, she reached out to turn on the music player in the car. Accompanied by a very soft singing voice, her low voice sounded—
“I don’t have the mood to manage those things. Relationships and marriage are an unreachable nightmare for me. President Zhou, you should be satisfied with such an answer, right?” Qin Su answered honestly.
She admitted that she felt mentally and physically exhausted when it came to these things. It was more practical to spend more time on work.
