Chapter 1370: Chapter 1370: Taking on the Role of a Romantic

Zhou Hengguang’s reaction made Zhou Hengyang and Zou Yi, who was coming out of the kitchen, frown in unison. The two exchanged glances but remained silent.

“Because my sister doesn’t like you,” Su Wen said, her back to Zhou Hengyang, hence she didn’t catch the exchange of looks between the two men.

“That’s not true, sister-in-law. You’re wrong,” Zhou Hengguang suddenly became serious and shook his head sincerely.

“Qingqing does like me, I know it, and I am not mistaken about that.”

“Are you sure?” Su Wen asked, amused.

“Of course, I’m sure. One can’t lie about feelings. Qingqing is just angry with me now because I chose the wrong way at the beginning and made mistakes, and now I have to pay the price for that.”

“So, what price are you willing to pay?” Su Wen posed herself like a boss, ready to negotiate.

Standing behind him, Zhou Hengyang helplessly held his forehead with one hand, not wanting to watch the two of them at all.

Zou Yi also helplessly spread his hands.

Zhou Hengguang and Su Wen didn’t care about the small gestures of the other two; the pair got so engrossed in their serious debate that it lasted almost half an hour.

In the end, neither could convince the other. However, Su Wen was actually very clear in her heart that what she said today was just to test Zhou Hengguang; she wanted to know how genuine Zhou Hengguang’s feelings were for her sister. But the result of this probing surprised her.

Who would have thought that shameless Zhou Hengguang could one day play the role of a lovestruck fool?

He had become unrecognizable.

It wasn’t long after the Lantern Festival, and Liu Chun and Liu Qiang even showed up. After entering with many gifts, Liu Chun clamored around, alternately calling people to play cards and chat, gradually lightening the somewhat stagnant atmosphere in the living room.

Zhou Hengyang and Liu Qiang talked about the factory affairs. Though this young man used to be a playboy, once he entered the factory, his work had surprised everyone.

Unwittingly, Liu Qiang had become an indispensable part of Changhe Machinery Factory, while Zhou Hengguang, preoccupied with the design institute, had not been there for a long time.

Truth be told, Liu Chun and Liu Qiang missed Zhou Hengguang. When he was there, his work was intermittent, fishing for three days and drying the nets for two, but his efficiency was high.

Most importantly, he was able to keep some of the troublemakers in the factory in check. When he was around, everyone would avoid him.

Zou Yi didn’t recognize the others, and Zhou Hengguang, seated on the sofa, didn’t bother to introduce them. It was Zhou Hengyang who did the introductions. As they were all young, they found common topics easily and quickly became acquainted.

In the kitchen, something seemed off with Su Qing as she entered.

“Second sister, what’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?” Su Xiu, drying her hands, approached Su Qing and asked with concern.

“I’m fine, don’t worry.”

“You say you’re fine, but you don’t look it,” Su Xue couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

“Did someone bully you, second sister? Tell me, and I’ll stand up for you.”

“I’m really okay.” How could Su Qing explain such a matter, and now she also realized that the real issue wasn’t the severity of the situation, but rather the hurdle in her own heart.

She even thought that if Zhou Hengguang was actually Lin Weiguo, if the person who had deceived her was Lin Weiguo, she might have forgiven him long ago.
