Chapter 149 I am willing
When Tu Yan fed the sweet and sour pork ribs to Zhuang Xiao's mouthful by mouthful, he couldn't figure out why the situation turned out like this.
Tu Yan mobilized his brain cells, wait, didn't she say she was here to bring me food? Didn't she say she was here to coax me and tell me not to be angry?
Before he could figure it out, Zhuang Xiao chewed the bone and spit it out, "It's a bit sweet. I want to drink some water."
"Hey." Tu Yan worked tirelessly to bring water, and while serving his wife water, he also scolded, "Drinking water with meals is not good for the stomach..."
Zhuang Xiao, who had come to deliver food and apologize, pursed his lips and gave a glance, which made Mr. Tu, who was always busy, shut his mouth silently and pass the cup of water to Zhuang Xiao's mouth.
Zhuang Xiao took a sip, and her moist lips curled up in a cute arc, "Thank you, dear."
Tu Yan was easily coaxed into submission, and turned to the next dish on his own initiative, "Eat some vegetables."
……
By the time Zhuang Xiao left the company with the bag, everyone in the company knew that President Tu had been flattered and that if there was anything to say, they should talk about it while it was hot.
The president's office was unusually busy that afternoon, but even so, seeing that the time was almost up, Tu Yan called Secretary Wang and told the people behind him not to come as he was going to get off work.
In the cozy little home, Zhuang Xiao was curled up in a rocking chair reading a book. As the light dimmed, his aunt considerately turned on the small light in the greenhouse.
Zhuang Xiao reminded in a good mood: "Tu Tu will be back on time today, so prepare more of his favorite dishes."
Aunt Wang smiled and agreed, "Don't worry, we have already prepared it."
The love between this couple is clearly visible even to outsiders.
The shadows of the trees swayed in the autumn wind. Zhuang Xiao rubbed his nose, put down the book, and closed his eyes to rest.
It had been a while since she had such free time, and she felt a little sleepy from having nothing to do.
Just when he was half asleep and half awake, there was a soft "beep" sound in his head. Zhuang Xiao's heart skipped a beat and he opened his eyes in a flash.
No. 23 came online, but did not speak immediately. All Zhuang Xiao could hear was the rustling sound of the wind.
This silence made Zhuang Xiao think for a moment that the noise just now was just an illusion.
Fortunately, after being silent for a long time, No. 23 finally spoke up, "When are you going to file for divorce from the male lead?"
Upon hearing this question, Zhuang Xiao was silent. After a moment, he curled his lips and asked, "Don't you know?"
"I know you mentioned it before, but he refused." No. 23 has simple linear thinking and can only judge based on the facts. "I asked you when you will mention it again."
Zhuang Xiao tilted his head slightly and tried to test, "Aren't you afraid that he will go back dozens of times?"
"He promised you he wouldn't." No. 23 answered very quickly. He even praised Zhuang Xiao, "You are amazing."
No. 23 did not expect that Zhuang Xiao actually had such power. He was able to accomplish something that he was not sure about quietly.
Zhuang Xiao also understood what it meant. Tu Yan could now control the rollback! This was not her guess, but a fact that No. 23 recognized.
Zhuang Xiao also gave a straightforward reply, "I won't mention it again."
It took No. 23 a while to react, and hesitantly asked, "What did you say?"
"I will never mention divorce from Tu Yan again." Zhuang Xiao said every word clearly.
"Are you crazy?!" No. 23 raised his voice, "Have you forgotten what I told you last time? The male and female protagonists are the official couple. You will not have a good ending if you are with the male protagonist."
"Don't you want anything else except the male lead?" No. 23 was obviously anxious, "Your ideals, career, and comfortable life..."
"My life is quite comfortable now." Zhuang Xiao pressed down on his toes, tapped the ground, and rocked the rocking chair.
"You've forgotten the pain after the wound healed." No. 23 sneered, "Do you think the situation can be reversed by the male protagonist standing up to speak for you? This is just the beginning, there are many more terrible things than this."
"I know." Zhuang Xiao said in a light tone.
"You know?" No. 23 snorted and asked back, "I thought you were a smart person and knew what was most important and what was best for you..."
"I know." Zhuang Xiao interrupted him firmly, "What I want is freedom."
“We want the right to choose freely.”
"It's not the success and fame you think it is, nor is it the artistic reputation you think it is." Zhuang Xiao smiled and shook his head, "Okay, I admit that these are important, but not that important."
"What's important is that I can do what I want to do, whether it's painting or loving Tu Yan. I want to be free to choose the direction of my life, instead of letting you control and coerce me."
"Think this over carefully," No. 23 warned.
"I think very clearly, more clearly than ever before." Zhuang Xiao stepped firmly on the rocking chair and stopped it.
"Very good." No. 23 was obviously furious. It spoke slowly, "Then you just wait and see how your fate will lead to the predetermined ending."
After saying this, No. 23 simply left.
"Okay." Zhuang Xiao heard his own slow answer, not sure whether it was for No. 23 or for himself.
At the same time, the sound of deliberately light footsteps came from behind her. Zhuang Xiao did not turn around, and a pair of big hands covered her eyes.
"What are you doing?" Zhuang Xiao raised his lips, "Our President Tu is also going to play the game of guessing who I am?"
Tu Yan snorted, "I'm not that childish."
Zhuang Xiao raised his eyebrows. "Are you still childish? Whoever lies will know."
Tu Yan let go of her hand and chased Zhuang Xiao's lips. After a kiss, he squeezed into a rocking chair with Zhuang Xiao, "What are you mumbling to yourself? Did you miss me?"
Zhuang Xiao: “…”
Speechless, Zhuang Xiao looked at Tu Yan's blinking eyes. What else could he say? He could only say, "Yes, yes, I miss you."
Tu Yan raised his eyebrows proudly and gave her another light kiss, "Me too."
"I'm wondering if a person's life is predestined, and all struggles are in vain?" In the evening breeze, Zhuang Xiao leaned lazily in Tu Yan's arms, saying leisurely.
"If that's true, then you are destined to be my nemesis." Tu Yan gently rested his chin on the top of Zhuang Xiao's head.
Zhuang Xiao glanced at him, "Why? Don't want to?"
Tu Yan gently rubbed her soft hair and said, "I am willing."
