Feast for Shengsheng

Chapter 1013 The First Outbreak of the Cold War

"Besides, you and I are both public figures. Reporters are watching us 24 hours a day. If I really cheated on you, don't worry, the reporters will definitely tell you immediately."

"Also, Anna and I broke up many years ago, and it's impossible for us to get back together."

"I don't want to discuss this matter again in the future, or let it become the source of our arguments."

“I told you, I kept these two things from you because I didn’t want you to worry, not because I wanted to do anything with Anna.”

Zhou Jingyan rarely spoke so much, but this time, he didn't even give Su Zhenzhen a chance to refute him, speaking one sentence after another.

"Besides, Annai wasn't decided by me alone, but by a board of directors. I was just the one who connected them. So there's no point in arguing with me about this anymore. Let's leave it at that." Zhou Jingyan succinctly stated his meaning.

Su Zhenzhen was speechless and looked at Zhou Jingyan more and more passively.

"Any more questions?" Zhou Jingyan asked Su Zhenzhen.

Su Zhenzhen did not respond.

Zhou Jingyan didn't know whether it was to ease the tension or something else.

He paused for a moment before continuing, "Annai isn't here for only one reason: she made a mistake. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the right to fire her. It was the board's decision."

Having said all that, Su Zhenzhen felt there was no point in arguing anymore.

"I understand," she replied.

Su Zhenzhen knew that this was probably the first time they had experienced a cold war since they met.

It's also the kind of thing that's a bit unreasonable.

She felt as if she had gone from being the victor to the loser, a feeling she couldn't quite describe, a feeling that weighed heavily on Su Zhenzhen and made her extremely uncomfortable.

Finally, she stood up and went straight to the shower room to take a shower.

I wanted to calm myself down.

Zhou Jingyan didn't stop her, but he just stood there quietly watching Su Zhenzhen.

Anyone could see that the atmosphere between the two was rather tense.

But no one pointed it out, as if letting it develop on its own.

After hearing the sound of running water from the bathroom, Zhou Jingyan turned and left the master bedroom.

Su Zhenzhen didn't stay inside for very long; she came out after taking a shower.

She remained outwardly calm, having regained her composure.

When she got back to bed, she saw a jewelry box on the bedside table, one that wasn't one of hers.

She paused for a moment, then opened the box.

There was a necklace inside.

Su Zhenzhen knew that this was a necklace that C brand had just launched.

When the booklet was delivered that day, she just glanced at it casually and asked a question.

Because it was a limited edition, there was a waiting period, so Su Zhenzhen didn't take it.

It's not that you absolutely have to have it.

There's a feeling that when you have too many things, you don't really care about these things anymore.

Zhou Jingyan was also there at that time.

Therefore, Su Zhenzhen felt that Zhou Jingyan had probably remembered her words.

This time, I'll bring it back for myself.

That's not wrong, Tokyo was the first team to start.

Su Zhenzhen stared quietly at the box in front of her without saying a word.

Suddenly, Shi Sheng called, and Su Zhenzhen answered.

"Did I disturb you?" Shi Sheng asked proactively.

"No," Su Zhenzhen replied.

Before he married Zhou Jingyan, they were always in bed at this time.

The two were very close, and it wasn't enough for them to do it many times.

After the wedding, such things suddenly cooled down.

Everyone seemed to have suddenly lost their ideas.

Going to bed has become a routine, rather than an irresistible act as before.

This feeling is neither good nor bad.

But Su Zhenzhen wouldn't say such things to Shi Sheng, since it was a matter between husband and wife.

"Did you ask him?" Shi Sheng asked Su Zhenzhen after a moment of silence.

Su Zhenzhen hummed in agreement and didn't hide anything, roughly telling Shi Sheng what had happened before.

She even mentioned the jewelry that Zhou Jingyan had given her.

"Zhenzhen, do you think we're overthinking things?" Shi Sheng was also a little uncertain.

Su Zhenzhen listened, while Shi Sheng analyzed: "Although he concealed it first, his reason is reasonable. Besides, what he said is true. If he really wanted to cheat, all the reporters in the capital would be watching. There would be no need to hide it; you would know immediately. In addition, if he really wanted to get a divorce or do something, I don't think he's the kind of person who would hide it."

They are the kind of people who are open and honest, explain things clearly, and then give you the choice to make your decision.

“Maybe I’m just overthinking it. Otherwise, why would he buy you jewelry?” Shi Sheng continued. “Besides, his relationship with An Nai was many years ago. They wouldn’t rekindle their old flame now, would they?”

"..."

"Also, this necklace was first launched in Tokyo. I think it's quite remarkable that he could remember something you casually mentioned."

"..."

"I think we should reconsider this matter. He's already explained things so frankly, so just consider it a thing of the past. He's publicly stated that he and An Nai used to be a couple, and he's also explained the current situation. He probably won't hide anything anymore, right?"

Shi Sheng, being an outsider, saw things clearly and quickly explained the matter openly.

Zhou Jingyan and Su Zhenzhen have already laid this matter out on the table, so there's naturally no need to do anything further.

You can just say you want to go on a business trip together.

"Mm," Su Zhenzhen responded, she understood this principle.

Shi Sheng offered Su Zhenzhen a few words of advice before the two hung up the phone.

Just after hanging up the phone, Su Zhenzhen looked up and saw Zhou Jingyan walk in.

It's already two or three in the morning, very late.

Su Zhenzhen looked at Zhou Jingyan without showing any emotion.

Zhou Jingyan calmly walked towards her: "Who are you talking to on the phone so late?"

"Shi Sheng," Su Zhenzhen said without hiding anything.

Su Zhenzhen has many friends, but they are all business partners and friends based on mutual benefit.

My only real best friend is Shi Sheng.

At this point, naturally, he could only be talking to Shi Sheng.

Zhou Jingyan hummed in response, but didn't say anything, though he roughly knew what Shi Sheng and Su Zhenzhen were talking about.

He calmly walked towards Su Zhenzhen.

Su Zhenzhen looked at Zhou Jingyan and knew that he had already gone to the next room to take a shower.

She didn't say anything.

Many things between husband and wife do not need to be said.

A single glance or gesture is usually enough to guess what's going on.

Just like now.

Zhou Jingyan calmly got into bed, while Su Zhenzhen remained quiet. The next moment, Zhou Jingyan pulled Su Zhenzhen into his arms.

Su Zhenzhen looked up and passively stared at Zhou Jingyan.

"Are you still angry?" Zhou Jingyan was a little helpless, and suddenly lowered his voice to coax Su Zhenzhen.

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Jingyan took Su Zhenzhen's hand again and gently stroked it in his palm.

Su Zhenzhen did not resist.

"I'm sorry, it was wrong of me to hide this from you. The first part was an accident, and the second part was simply because I didn't want you to worry about it," Zhou Jingyan sighed and explained again.

Unlike his previous stern face, this time his words carried a coaxing tone.
