Feast for Shengsheng

Chapter 1019 Yesterday, I'm Sorry

Su Zhenzhen didn't flinch, but stared intently at Zhou Jingyan without making a sound.

“I’m so sorry about yesterday,” Zhou Jingyan apologized. “A client came at the last minute, and I had to go see him. I completely forgot your birthday.”

This attitude is very sincere.

Although it was afterward, he still honestly explained the cause and effect to Su Zhenzhen.

"After drinking too much, I went to the hotel to rest," Zhou Jingyan continued to explain.

But it seems that Anna's meaning was not mentioned at all during the entire process.

Su Zhenzhen looked at Zhou Jingyan with a half-smile.

Zhou Jingyan remained calm: "I've prepared your birthday present."

This statement makes it sound as if he hasn't forgotten Su Zhenzhen's birthday.

Su Zhenzhen did not believe it.

Because she knows Zhou Jingyan very well.

Zhou Jingyan isn't a very romantic person; the birthday gifts he gives you are all things you like.

It's either incredibly expensive jewelry, or they asked Su Zhenzhen what she liked beforehand.

Zhou Jingyan never mentioned this matter from beginning to end.

"Okay." Su Zhenzhen nodded with a half-smile.

"Zhenzhen." Zhou Jingyan looked down at Su Zhenzhen. "Are you still angry? I'll spend today with you and celebrate your birthday. It's a holiday today too."

"No need, I've already made plans to go shopping with Shi Sheng today." Su Zhenzhen also refused directly.

None of them mentioned Anna.

However, the undercurrents between them were clearly visible.

"Where should we go shopping?" Zhou Jingyan asked unhurriedly.

“Look at Shi Sheng.” Su Zhenzhen replied with a smile.

But she was just giving me the runaround.

Zhou Jingyan's gaze fell quietly on Su Zhenzhen: "Then I'll treat Shi Sheng to dinner later."

“No need. You probably won’t like the place we’re going to,” Su Zhenzhen refused.

If Zhou Jingyan couldn't see this anger, then he must be out of his mind.

Su Zhenzhen ignored it and tried to pull her hand away.

Zhou Jingyan showed no sign of letting go.

The two were pulling at each other.

"Let go, I'm going to be late." Su Zhenzhen's tone turned unpleasant.

"I'll take you," Zhou Jingyan said calmly.

Su Zhenzhen was also very direct: "I said I don't need it."

Seeing Su Zhenzhen's attitude, Zhou Jingyan's eyes gradually became impatient.

In his view, the Su Zhenzhen of the past would not have acted this way.

When people offer each other a way out, they will follow that approach.

Instead of being so aggressive.

"Zhenzhen." Zhou Jingyan called out to Su Zhenzhen, his tone becoming serious.

Su Zhenzhen simply pulled her hand away.

Zhou Jingyan looked at the empty hand, his displeasure evident in his eyes.

“I forgot to make plans with you yesterday, it was my fault. But the client showed up at the last minute, there was nothing I could do.” Zhou Jingyan’s tone also turned harsh. “I’ve apologized now, and I haven’t forgotten the gift I was supposed to prepare, so what more do you want?”

Su Zhenzhen paused for a moment after listening: "You think I'm being unreasonable, right?"

Zhou Jingyan did not respond, but her attitude confirmed her guess.

Su Zhenzhen's expression also turned cold.

If Zhou Jingyan had told her from the beginning that the cancellation was due to a last-minute client arrival...

In fact, Su Zhenzhen wouldn't make a fuss for no reason.

She's not someone who insists on celebrating her birthday, nor is Zhou Jingyan the only one who can celebrate it.

Su Zhenzhen wasn't actually that concerned about birthday gifts.

Because she lacks nothing.

She has all kinds of luxury goods and jewelry.

What we really want is sincerity.

What made me angry yesterday was the phone call An Nai answered, and then Zhou Jingyan not answering the phone afterwards.

And this person doesn't come home at night.

But clearly, Zhou Jingyan didn't understand this point and didn't even bother to explain it.

Or does Zhou Jingyan think that none of this matters?

"Zhenzhen." Zhou Jingyan's expression also darkened. "So what do you want me to tell you to make you happy?"

"Okay." Su Zhenzhen nodded. "First, answer me, why did An Nai answer your private call last night?"

Su Zhenzhen made her meaning clear without even giving Zhou Jingyan a chance to speak.

“If it were your office phone, I wouldn’t mind if An Nai answered it; it’s perfectly normal. But your private phone is only known to extremely important people. Why would An Nai answer it?” Su Zhenzhen questioned Zhou Jingyan succinctly.

Zhou Jingyan frowned: "She told me about it afterward, but I was out socializing, so I left my phone with her and she answered it for me temporarily to avoid missing any important information."

"An employee can answer the boss's personal calls. I remember He Chen doesn't answer your personal calls, right?" Su Zhenzhen asked casually.

“These are two different things.” Zhou Jingyan’s attitude became increasingly impatient.

"How can they be two different things?" Su Zhenzhen rarely asked such a probing question.

Then she smiled faintly, becoming increasingly aggressive: "Why did An Nai go to the hotel with you last night instead of taking you home?"

As she spoke, Su Zhenzhen looked at Zhou Jingyan with a calm gaze: "You are a married man. No matter what, going home is the most basic thing, not going to a hotel, especially with a woman. That kind of relationship is too ambiguous."

“This was my oversight. I had too much to drink and didn’t want to cause you trouble, so I went to the hotel on a whim. Nothing happened between An Nai and me. She dropped me off at my hotel and then left,” Zhou Jingyan said quickly.

"Okay." Su Zhenzhen nodded. "I understand. Can I leave now? Shi Sheng is waiting for me."

A very indifferent attitude, and very calm.

She didn't intend to argue with Zhou Jingyan; she just knew about it.

However, the unpleasantness between the two was also fully revealed.

Zhou Jingyan is not one to deceive people.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Zhou Jingyan stopped trying to stop him.

Su Zhenzhen nodded in acknowledgment and turned to leave.

As Zhou Jingyan watched Su Zhenzhen's retreating figure, his gaze also darkened.

He thought Su Zhenzhen wouldn't hold it against him, but in fact, it seems that wasn't the case.

The way Su Zhenzhen argues with you isn't by crying, making a scene, or threatening suicide; instead, she calmly discusses the matter at hand.

This attitude made Zhou Jingyan extremely unhappy.

Without saying a word, he turned and left the villa, heading straight back to his company.

The butler naturally noticed this subtle atmosphere and dared not breathe too loudly.

Su Zhenzhen did indeed make an appointment with Shi Sheng.

The two went shopping.

Su Zhenzhen was always buying things, and Shi Sheng knew that this was a way of venting her frustrations.

It's probably known that Su Zhenzhen must have met with Zhou Jingyan before she came out, and the two of them probably had a rather unpleasant encounter.

Only after Su Zhenzhen had vented her anger did she take the initiative to tell Shi Sheng what had happened before.

Shi Sheng paused for a moment: "I think Zhou Jingyan probably didn't think there was anything wrong with this."
