"Regintal Commander Zhou!" Lin Wenhang urgently grabbed Zhou Mikang, "It’s fine if others don’t believe , but you should trust ."
"Why?" Zhou Mikang looked at him speechlessly, "When you say that, it puts a lot of pressure on . Can I ask you not to put so much pressure on ?"
"No, what I an is, you’ve worked with Huang Suai not just for a day, you should know her character, she’s the type who focuses on the matter, not the person.
Also, she has a very straightforward personality. If she really had feelings for you, she would have told you plainly long ago, why would she resort to these petty tactics?
She’s a genius, she wouldn’t stoop to playing those low-level tricks like ordinary people. Regintal Commander, as long as you say a word, the family will surely treat her normally.
I’ve waited so long for this day, you’ve also been through emotional setbacks before, you know how hard it is to find the right person. I’m begging you to help, okay?"
"Lin Wenhang, I used to think you were quite a man..." Zhou Mikang glanced at the hand clutching his arm, "Let go."
"If you promise, I’ll let go imdiately." Lin Wenhang looked at him pitifully, "I’ve already promised that if she ever does anything disloyal to Chuxia, I’ll be the first to deal with her. Why won’t you help ?
For my cousin, I’m willing to give up the woman I love the most. Can’t you, for my sincerity, give a bit of help?"
"If you’re confident in your judgnt, then why beg like this?" Zhou Mikang forcibly pulled away his hand, "Your attitude really makes look down on you; it’s a disgrace to n. I suspect if she ever does anything disloyal to Chuxia, you’d probably be the first one to help her against Chuxia."
"You’re wronging , should I swear?" Lin Wenhang raised his hand, only for Zhou Mikang to slap it down, "Alright, stop saying useless things."
"It’s because you don’t trust that I had to do this. Even though I’m confident, Huang Suai is a particularly proud girl. If she feels rejected by our family, she definitely won’t stay with ; that would basically be a death sentence for my relationship with her.
My big brother is impossible to persuade; he’s stubborn and has always treated this way since we were kids. Convincing him is harder than killing him.
So I can only turn to you. You’re the closest to Chuxia and have the highest status among our peers. Your words carry direction and authority. If you show approval, everyone will certainly approve.
I just want to give myself a chance, not force you to do sothing you don’t want to do. Brother-in-law, please, for the sake of all these years, lend a hand, okay?"
"No." Zhou Mikang looked at him calmly, but seeing his face fall, he continued, "However, I can tell you clearly, even if I don’t like her, I won’t show it in front of others."
"Thank you, thank you, brother-in-law!" Lin Wenhang looked at Zhou Mikang, his eyes filled with clear gratitude, "That’s all I needed, that’s enough."
In his excitent, his words beca a bit incoherent.
This man, he’s really fallen deep, and seeing him like this, Zhou Mikang really didn’t know what to say. Of course, this was the very reason he was willing to help him.
As a man himself, he could understand that feeling of unattainable love, especially since they were both devoted n. If Huang Suai’s feelings for Lin Wenhang were indeed intentional, then this man would probably be in a slump for years.
His slump would be different from his own back then; he didn’t truly love Ye iru, it was more for his sister. But the feeling should be similar, right? It took over five years and eting Lin Chuxia for him to co out of it. Hopefully, this man wouldn’t have to go through all that, as only those who’ve experienced it know how unbearable that pain is.
"Did your second brother beg you?" As soon as Zhou Mikang stepped out of the room, Chuxia, waiting at the corner, pulled him over, "What did he say? Did you promise him?"
"Do you want to promise or not?" Zhou Mikang asked back.
"Guess?"
"Answer my question first."
"Why should I?" Chuxia rolled her eyes at him, "I’m younger, you should give in to . I’m a girl, you should give in to too. So the conclusion is, you must answer."
"So unreasonable." Zhou Mikang snorted and flicked her nose with amusent, "You’re just bullying because I spoil you, aren’t you?"
Chuxia couldn’t help but shiver: "Please, never use the word ’naughty’ on again. When you describe like that, I imdiately feel terrible."
"You are a child, and you are naughty. Otherwise, you should answer my question first."
Well, they’re digging a hole and waiting for her here, does she really think she’ll give in? "No way, call mischievous if you want, just answer!"
Zhou Mikang looked helpless: "I really can’t win against you, alright, I’ll tell you, I agreed to it."
"You agreed?" Chuxia scrutinized him, "How did you feel at the ti, report it to ."
"Can we report back in our room?" Zhou Mikang nodded downstairs with his chin, "There are a lot of people, do you really think it’s good for us to chatter here?"
"It’s so late and they still haven’t gone to bed." Chuxia muttered softly, greeted the elders downstairs, and pulled Zhou Mikang like a rabbit back to their room.
"Your curiosity is stronger than a cat’s." Entering the room, Zhou Mikang shook his head, "You dragged in here so eagerly, what do you think people will say?"
"Hate you, you’re doing this on purpose!" Chuxia grabbed him angrily, "No straying off topic, I want to hear your true thoughts now.
Also, let be clear, if you lie, you’ll be on my blacklist and I’ll never trust you again. Think carefully before you speak, okay."
Seeing her like this, Zhou Mikang simply sat up straight, smiling at her, "Tell honestly, is it because I’m working with Huang Suai that you’re really uneasy?
You were originally embarrassed to ask because of your pride, but now that you’ve got the chance, you want to ask clearly, is that it?"
"If you say so, fine, anyway, I just want to know what you’re thinking." Chuxia fluttered her eyes at him, "Although I’m not jealous, the thought of you working daily with a girl who once wanted to marry you and is a genius, I’m definitely not too comfortable.
However, I understand, it’s for work, it’s normal, I can’t just stop you from working because others might have ideas about you, right?
Moreover, the sa reasoning applies to . You can’t stop from working and keep ho worrying others might be interested in , can you?"
"You’re quite sothing, putting so much into one sentence? Didn’t I already promise you? I support you working, but the premise is to let stay by your side.
There’s my work with Lin Wenbin, too; I’ve promised you, and yet you say this to , do you think it’s fair? Ah, girls’ thoughts, could they not be so fickle?"
"Stop pretending!" Chuxia rolled her eyes at him, "Don’t avoid the issue, tell your true thoughts, don’t think you can dodge the topic and make forget what I set out to ask."
"My true thought is that seeing Lin Wenhang like this now reminds of the ti Xiao Rao left. I can understand his feelings, so I’m willing to agree to give him a chance."
"But, if Huang Suai’s feelings aren’t genuine, wouldn’t his hurt be even worse? Zhou Mikang, you’re with Huang Suai daily, you have so understanding of her character. Do you think her feelings for my second brother have any sincerity?
I’m asking not out of gossip or prying into others’ privacy, but genuinely hoping because my second brother is a good person, I don’t want him too hurt. If we know the outco is painful, why let him get deeper?"
"Chuxia, you’re really forcing here. Although I work with Huang Suai, I haven’t spent ti with her one-on-one, only during etings or discussing procedures.
And due to so previous issues, I deliberately avoid seeing her outside of work hours, so I truly don’t know what she’s thinking.
But from her usual behavior, I don’t think she has much feeling for Lin Wenhang. Soone like her, with high self-regard, there probably aren’t many who et her standards.
Moreover, like you said, knowing it’s harm, letting Lin Wenhang fall into it isn’t appropriate. That reasoning is correct, but the problem is, whatever we say now, Lin Wenhang won’t listen.
If he understood this principle, he wouldn’t oppose his whole family, causing this fuss, don’t you think?
Including Great-grandmother, everyone agreed because they were moved by his sincerity and wanted to give him a chance to try.
If he doesn’t try, he’ll keep expecting. Once truly tried, even if hurt, he’ll have the chance to move on in life, think about whether this reasoning stands."
After pondering a while, Chuxia sighed helplessly: "Fine, I must admit, what you say seems very reasonable. But I’ve also noticed, you seem quite adept at convincing others. I felt pretty grounded, but hearing you now, I’m unconsciously leaning towards your view. No, I have to rethink this, can’t be swayed by you."
