Marriage First, True Love Later-Chapter 232
232 Gentle and considerate ”
Lin Li was consciously avoiding Zhou han, so she especially stayed in the room to accompany the little guy in bed for a while in the morning. When she looked at the time on her watch, she estimated that Zhou han should have left for work before she got up.
It was because she was consciously avoiding him that when she saw Zhou han sitting in the living room, Lin Li couldn’t help but be stunned. She didn’t understand why he was still there at this time.
Zhou han looked at her with a serious expression and asked in a deep voice, ” “Are you hiding from me?”
I didn’t, ” Lin Li denied after coming back to her senses. As she spoke, her eyes were a little unfocused, and she didn’t dare to look at him. Her hands were also subconsciously entangled nervously.
Zhou han stood up and walked towards her. Finally, he stood in front of her and looked at her, asking, ” “Why did you take away all the clothes in the room?”
Her left hand tightly clutched her right hand. Lin Li deliberately avoided him. Her eyes flickered, and she didn’t dare to look at him directly.”Xiao bin’s mood has been unstable these days, I want to spend more time with him.”
Zhou Han’s eagle eyes stared at her. His tone was a little strong, not allowing him to avoid it at all. then is it necessary to take all the clothes away? ”
“It’s more convenient this way,” Lin Li walked past him toward the kitchen, but he grabbed her hand when she passed him.
Lin Li wanted to pull back, but she couldn’t resist his strength.
Zhou han turned around and looked at her side profile. He asked, ” “Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
Lin Li bit her lip and simply said,”I’m just returning to my original position.” &Nbsp She didn’t want to make things more complicated, and she didn’t want to put more feelings into it. She wanted everything to go back to the beginning and pretend that nothing had happened.
Zhou han frowned, not understanding what she meant. what do you mean? ”
Lin Li took a deep breath and said coldly, ” “It’s nothing. Being stupid once is enough. I just don’t want to be stupid again.” She reached out to pull his hand and went straight into the kitchen.
Zhou han looked at her back and frowned even more.
If it was Zhou Han’s guess that Lin Li was hiding from him, then some of Lin Li’s actions in the following days were completely in line with Zhou Han’s guess. She was indeed hiding from him, and it was so obvious.
No matter when Zhou han came back at night, her and Xiao bin’s room was always locked. In the morning, he would be late intentionally or unintentionally, but he never saw her once. Zhou han didn’t understand. He didn’t know where the problem was. Why did she seem to have changed into a different person all of a sudden, avoiding him everywhere?
“SHIT!”He threw the document in his hand onto the table roughly. Zhou han felt inexplicably irritated. He reached out to grab the document and threw it out.
At this moment, Special Assistant Xu pushed the door open and entered. Seeing his sudden shock, he looked at him and asked carefully, ” “Chief Zhou, did something happen?”
Zhou han glanced at him and turned his head to lean back on the swivel chair, feeling a little angry.
Special Assistant Xu didn’t understand. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any particularly important or urgent cases recently. In addition, the previous scandal finally subsided after Zhou han publicized the paternity test report in front of everyone at the press conference. Thinking about it this way, there shouldn’t be anything to worry about.
She bent down to pick up the document that Zhou han had thrown on the ground and placed it back on Zhou Han’s desk. Then, she handed him the document that she had brought in. President Zhou, this is the first phase progress report of the project in Guangdong. Take a look.
Zhou han frowned and didn’t say anything. He only nodded with a cold face.
After putting down the document, Special Assistant Xu didn’t go out immediately. Instead, he looked at Zhou han and asked curiously. “Director Zhou, are you alright? did you run into some trouble?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Han’s cold eyes swept over him. His voice was not loud, but it was so low and gloomy that it was a little scary.”Assistant Xu, have you been too free these past two days?”
Special Assistant Xu laughed dryly and said in a flattering manner, ” “I’m just concerned about the boss.” Looking at Zhou Han’s increasingly gloomy face, Special Assistant Xu had been in this society for so long, so he naturally had a way of observing people. Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, Special Assistant Xu quickly changed the topic and prepared to slip away, saying, ” “I just remembered that I still have to call director Wang in Shanghai. If director Zhou has nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.” Without waiting for Zhou Han’s reply, she turned around and was about to leave.
Zhou han saw that he was about to leave and suddenly thought of something. He called out to him, ” wait a moment.
Special Assistant Xu stopped and turned to look at him. “Director Zhou, do you have any other orders?”
Zhou han coughed unnaturally, then looked at assistant Xu and asked, ” assistant Xu, do you have a girlfriend? ”
Special Assistant Xu was taken aback. He nodded and replied, ” yes. Why did he ask this?
Zhou han thought for a while and finally asked, ” “Um, do you know under what circumstances would a woman lose her temper for no reason?”
Upon hearing this, assistant Xu was stunned. It took a while for him to react. So Zhou han was now troubled by women!
Seeing that he didn’t answer for a long time, Zhou Han’s mood became more and more irritable. With a sullen face, he said, ” “Forget it, you can leave.” As he spoke, he reached out for the document he had just placed on the table and flipped through it.
Special Assistant Xu then came back to his senses and held back his laughter. “Boss Zhou, is it because of Secretary Lin?”
Hearing that, Zhou han raised his eyes and glanced at him. His eyes were as sharp as a knife.
Special Assistant Xu directly ignored his terrifying and somewhat frightening gaze. Then, he pulled over the chair in front of his desk and sat down. With an experienced look, he said, ” tell me, how did you offend Secretary Lin? why is she angry? how is she angry? ” Special Assistant Xu became unusually excited at the smell of gossip.
Zhou han glanced at him and suddenly regretted asking him this question. He should have known that Special Assistant Xu was actually more gossipy than women!
The excited assistant Xu became a little arrogant. Seeing that he did not answer, he urged, ” “Tell me, how would I know if you don’t tell me?”
if I knew what I did to provoke her and why she was angry, why would I ask you?! Zhou han said coldly. The expression on his face was so cold that one could not see any change in his emotions.
“You’re right.” Special Assistant Xu nodded and frowned for a while. Then, he suddenly thought of something and looked up at Zhou han. “I know, I know why Secretary Lin is so angry!”
“Why?” Zhou han raised his eyebrows and asked.
Special Assistant Xu said in all seriousness, ” there are always a few days every month for women.
Zhou han frowned and stared at Special Assistant Xu. After a while, he slowly said, ” you mean …
“Definitely!” Special Assistant Xu had a look of certainty on his face. my girlfriend’s good friend would always throw a tantrum at me every month. She would lose her temper for no reason. At times like this, as men, we have to be considerate and caring. Make a cup of hot cocoa and prepare a hot-water bottle. This will ease her discomfort and naturally soothe her mood.
Zhou han looked at him with a doubtful expression, as if he was still thinking about something.
In Xiao bin’s room, the little guy was reading a fairy tale book in Lin Li’s arms, his expression serious.
Lin Li lowered her head to look at him, then reached out to stroke his head and said in a low voice, ” “Xiaobin, Auntie will send you to class tomorrow.”
Hearing this, the little one in his arms stiffened. After a while, he said in a low voice,”I don’t want to go,”
Lin Li let go of him and reached out to hold his face, asking, ” “Why?”
The little guy didn’t say anything. He turned around and retreated from Lin Li’s arms. He sat facing her to the side and played with his fingers with his head lowered.
“Xiao bin, are you afraid of what your classmates will say?” Lin Li asked, reaching out to turn him over.
The little fellow’s head was still lowered, and he was biting his lips.
Lin Li reached out and held his face up again. She stared into his eyes and said seriously, ” “Xiaobin, if we don’t face some things bravely, then those things will exist forever. We can avoid it for a while, but we can’t avoid it for the rest of our lives.”
The little guy looked at her, his dark eyes twinkling.
“Xiao bin, promise Auntie that you’ll be a brave man and face all the difficulties and problems bravely. We’ll solve them together, okay?”
The little guy also looked at her. After a while, he nodded and said in a low voice, ” “Alright,” he said.
Lin Li smiled and lowered her head to kiss his forehead and stroke his head.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Dong Dong Dong, it was very regular.
Xiao bin, who was in her arms, looked up at Lin Li and asked, ” “Is it dad?”
Lin Li nodded. Who else could be in this house other than Zhou han?
Speaking of Zhou han, the little guy seemed to get nervous all of a sudden. He looked at Lin Li and asked, ” “Dad, are you here to chase me away?” If his father said that he was not his child, would he chase him away?
Lin Li shook her head, ” no, don’t talk nonsense, Xiao bin. As she spoke, she touched his head, let him go, got up, and walked towards the door.
He opened the door and saw Zhou han standing outside, staring at him.
Looking at him, Lin Li asked,”what’s the matter?” His tone was cold and his attitude was indifferent.
Zhou han looked at her and frowned without saying anything. For some reason, he didn’t like her indifferent tone and attitude.
He suppressed the frustration in his heart and only said, ” “Follow me.” With that, he turned around and left.
Lin Li didn’t know what he wanted to do, but after thinking about it, she finally turned to look at Xiao bin on the bed and smiled at him, ” aunty will go out for a while.
She closed the door and came out. When she came to the living room, she saw Zhou han gesturing for her to sit down. Then, he came out of the kitchen with a cup and handed it to her. He then said softly, ” drink it while it’s hot.
Lin Li lowered her head and saw that the black thing in the cup was actually hot cocoa!
She raised her head in confusion and looked at him. what are you doing? ”
Zhou han glanced at her, then turned around and went into the study. When he came out again, he had a hot water bag in his hand. With a slightly serious face, he lowered his head and placed the hot water bag on her stomach.
“What are you doing?” Lin Li was even more puzzled. She was completely baffled by his series of actions!
Zhou han looked up at him and said,”didn’t you say that your good friend is here?”
