Chapter 1363: Chapter 1363: Is It Worth It?

Ji Fang left, and Zhou Hengguang nestled into the cozy armchair, watching the two chatting happily with a cold gaze, and said dismally, “Big Brother, aren’t you going to accompany your wife?”

Zhou Hengyang looked at his watch, and agreed, “Indeed, I should head back. I’m worried about Wenwen being alone at home.”

Zhou Hengguang sneered, “Is she alone? What about all her sisters? Don’t they count?”

“Enough, stop being jealous.” Zhou Hengyang patted his brother’s head, who pushed him away disdainfully, prompting an amused smile from Zhou Hengyang. “Why do I feel like you’re actually happy after Su Qing rejected you?”

“Although she rejected me, she still cares about me.” That’s enough.

“Which eye of yours saw that?”

“Because you came.” It must have been Qingqing hinting to Big Brother that he was alone outside.

Zhou Hengyang scoffed, “So, you won’t allow me to care and get worried that you might do something rash?”

“I allow it!” Zhou Hengguang gave him a sidelong glance, “So you better care more.”

“So, are you going back to the factory tomorrow?”

“No.” Speaking of serious matters, Zhou Hengyang’s expression grew stern, “I need to go to the construction site. There are still some issues to resolve. Now that Zou Yi is back, I have some help. I need some time to solve these problems.”

There are too many things, and some can’t be postponed.

“So, during my absence, you need to keep an eye on my wife and ensure no one else gets close to her.”

“You want me to watch her too? Aren’t you already watching her closely?” Zhou Hengyang crossed his arms and sat down on the arm of the sofa, teasing, “I didn’t realize you were so sneaky, actually blocking the people I arranged from getting back. Do you realize how embarrassing this is for me?”

“How can you treat your own brother like this? What would you do if I set up a blind date for sister-in-law?”

“Whoever dares, I’ll kill them.” Just thinking about it, Zhou Hengyang felt a surge of jealousy and a fierce flash in his eyes.

“Heh!” Zhou Hengguang sneered and signaled Zou Yi to pour him a glass of red wine, then said, “So, I’ve actually given you a lot of face, you know how thoughtful your little brother is, right?”

“Of course! After all, thanks to our brotherly tactics, the word has spread, and even our uncle called to inquire about it.” Zhou Hengyang thought of something and his expression turned oddly amused.

Zou Yi poured the red wine and passed the stemmed glass to Zhou Hengguang.

Zhou Hengyang noticed and frowned, “Aren’t you supposed to be abstaining from alcohol?”

Zhou Hengguang drained the glass in one go, handed out the empty glass, and then said, “Some things can’t be quit.”

“Like what?”

“You know!”

The brothers were silent for a moment, and finally, Zhou Hengguang, unable to bear it any longer, started to shoo him away, “Aren’t you supposed to go back to accompany your wife? Why haven’t you left yet?”

“I’m leaving now.”

Zhou Hengyang picked up his coat and left smartly, with Zou Yi personally sending him off before coming back and closing the door. He then saw Zhou Hengguang languidly half-reclining on the sofa, a pale and handsome face tinged with an abnormal flush. His eyes slightly narrowed, acquiring a hazy look.

“Third brother?”

Zou Yi called out once, but getting no response, he worriedly touched Zhou Hengguang’s forehead with the back of his hand and found it to be really hot.

He knew it. The third brother must be feeling unwell; otherwise, he wouldn’t have willingly driven Big Brother away.

“Third brother, you have a fever.” Zou Yi was anxious, angry, and heartbroken. For a woman’s sake, was it worth tormenting himself like this? “Why don’t you take better care of yourself? Don’t you know you have low immunity and poor resistance?”

Despite the complaints pouring from his lips, he decisively lifted Zhou Hengguang from the sofa, carried him back to the bedroom, and laid him on the bed.
