“Oh? Really? Can you involve me in your small business venture?” Zhou Hengyang raised his eyebrows, strolling over to Su Wen’s side with a noticeably possessive demeanour, subtly establishing his dominant position. Shen Erkui chuckled and said, “I’ll follow Su Wen’s decision. You can ask her.”
“Sure.” Su Wen nodded immediately, smiling at Zhou Hengyang. “If you’re interested, let’s do it together. Although it’s a small business, it might not pique your interest.” After all, what could captivate the attention of a future real estate tycoon in an Agricultural and Finished Goods Trading market in a small county?
Just contemplating it seemed incongruent with his character.
“How do you know I’m not interested if you don’t tell me?” Zhou Hengyang draped his arm over Su Wen’s shoulder, a faint smirk playing on his thin lips. Not only Su Wen but even Shen Erkui felt uneasy and uncomfortable under the weight of his smile.
“I’ll be leaving first,” Shen Erkui said, making a hasty exit.
“Join me for dinner at my place tonight.”
“No, I need to discuss the loan with the village chief.” Shen Erkui hurriedly left.
With no outsiders present, Su Wen did not mince her words. “Why are you treating Brother Er Kui like this?”
Zhou Hengyang rubbed his chin. “I just don’t like him.”
“What did Brother Erkui do to offend you?”
“He didn’t offend me.” Shen Erkui was a rare person in the village who had caught his attention.
“Then why…”
“I just can’t control my jealousy.” Zhou Hengyang pinched Su Wen’s cheek helplessly. “I was infuriated thinking about how he almost became your man. I couldn’t help but give him a hard time.”
“That’s already a long time story.” Su Wen tried to explain, ‘Who hasn’t been on a few blind dates when they were young? According to your logic, I should hate Liang Shuzhen! She almost became your fiancée.”
“You’re not jealous?” Zhou Hengyang tilted his head, a dangerous glint in his eyes as he looked down at Su Wen.
“I’ll give you one more chance to rephrase that.”
“Jealous.” Su Wen gritted her teeth. “I’m very jealous. If any woman dares to think about my man, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Zhou Hengyang was very pleased with his wife’s response. “Not bad, but I still have to do business with you.”
“You’re interested in that small business?” Su Wen began to suspect that his motives weren’t entirely pure. Could he be up to something?
“Wenwen, you have good taste. I trust you.” Zhou Hengyang lowered his head and kissed Su Wen’s cheek.
Blushing, Su Wen looked around, relieved that no one had witnessed it.
“There’s a new large Agricultural and Finished Goods Trading market in the county town. I plan to buy two storefront houses and involve Brother Erkui.” Zhou Hengyang listened attentively and nodded in agreement.
“This is good. It aligns with the country’s future development plans. It’s always wise to follow the policy.”
Su Wen admired him. “Why do you have such good foresight? How did you know you could make money in the future? Can you predict the future?” “Don’t be silly.” Zhou Hengyang affectionately tapped Su Wen’s head.
“In the future, avoid such superstitious thoughts and focus on understanding the country’s policies and the needs of the people. We can gather valuable information from these aspects. You need to be smart, do you know that?”
“Okay!” Feeling a bit rebuked, Su Wen asked, “What did those two want from you?”
The conversation turned serious and Zhou Hengyang’s expression became more solemn. A frosty layer seemed to veil his eyes.
It wasn’t a cold gaze, but rather one that sent shivers down the spine..
