The villain and the protagonist are a family(17): The person I like also has a “Ze”

  ---

Zhou Yue Ze had not seen him for a few days. Once they met, his gaze was like glue, sticking onto the other person and refusing to look away.

The atmosphere in the tea room was hazy and fragrances filled the air. Xiang Han pa.s.sed a cup over and slowly began, “The things that happened that day, were an accident, I hope you do not mind too much and in the future…”

“Accident?” Zhou Yue Ze couldn't help but interrupt him and panicked, “But don't you like me? You admitted it that day.”

Xiang Han turned away, his expression cold, “I mistook you for someone else.”

Zhou Yue Ze froze then he grinded his teeth, “I don't believe it. You even shouted my name, you kept shouting…” Especially when he was on the verge of climaxing, he called his name with exceptional pa.s.sion.

Xiang Han clearly recalled something and the tips of his ears reddened but he still heartlessly continued, “That wasn't you. I said I had someone I liked before, his name also has a “Ze”.”

Zhou Yue Ze's face paled and stared at him in disbelief. Through the smoke, the other person's face was unreal. Because he did not have his gla.s.ses, his eyes appeared much more pa.s.sionate, but why did he have to be so cold and heartless?

“Then, can't you pretend that I'm him?” Zhou Yue Ze was almost begging, thinking that after a period of time, Jiang Han would definitely begin to like him.

Xiang Han paused, for an instant, he seemed to really see Lu Ze's figure in him. But in the end, he still shook his head.

It was not because he couldn't forget the other person. After all, that man had already disappeared. Rather, it was because he had always treated the person in front of him as his own child, how could he accept this?

Zhou Yue Ze's heart ached until he felt as if he were suffocating. It all turned out to be his own wishful thinking. It turns out that even after such a pa.s.sionate night, he was still unable to walk into the other person's heart. He didn't even have the qualifications to become someone else's subst.i.tute.

Zhou Yue Ze suddenly felt very tired, he no longer wanted to continue this bitter yearning. Staring blankly at Xiang Han, he couldn't help thinking: What doesn't he like about him? Why couldn't he love him?

This feeling of being able to see, yet unable to touch was too cruel. If only he could always make this person stay by his side. If only he could make Xiang Han be unable to reject him, only looking at him, how good would that be.

Zhou Yue Ze's fingers trembled and his head drooped tiredly, hiding the possessive desire in his eyes. He was afraid of Xiang Han seeing through his thoughts, but at the same time, was even more afraid of seeing the disdain in his eyes.

This conversation did not have the intended results. Zhou Yue Ze kept looking down silently and Xiang Han grew frustrated, throwing behind a sentence before he left, “I've always raised you as my successor and I hope that this will not change.”

Zhou Yue Ze gripped the tea cup tightly and after he left, he suddenly downed the entire thing and smashed it against the table.

Leaving the tea house, Big A asked, [Mr. Xiang, you really won't consider?]

[Hmm, you're back?]

[Cough, cough.] Big A coughed lightly, brus.h.i.+ng over the question as he continued, [There's a proverb ‘the best way to forget your first love is to enter a new relations.h.i.+p. I think the protagonist isn't a bad choice.]

[...Still I shouldn't use my own son that I brought up, ah.] Xiang Han's face tightened.

Big A: [How is this considered bringing up…]

Xiang Han believed that this conversation should have some effect. In order to avoid the awkwardness between them, during this period of time, he did not go to the office. Zhou Yue Ze would occasionally send people over to the villa to let him glance through the files.

Xiang Han felt that Zhou Yue Ze could deal with these things himself and allowed him to make most of the decisions. Only those that he could not decide would be given to him to look at. Slowly, Zhou Yue Ze also stopped sending any doc.u.ments to the villa.

The housekeeper did not feel that this was a good thing. It was not as if this hadn't happened before, but those doc.u.ments that should have been sent over had still been sent over, not like now, where Zhou Yue Ze was calling all the shots. Thus, he tried to persuade Xiang Han, “Sir, it's good to trust the young master, but you can't not ask about anything.”

Xiang Han was silent and quietly asked his system, [It's not what I'm thinking, right?]

System helped him to check before telling him, [The protagonist has indeed been eroding away your influence recently. He even secretly purchased the company's shares. If you give him a few more months, this company would probably face change in owners.h.i.+p.]

Xiang Han was stunned, then asked again, [What about the Zhou Corporation?]

[They've been suppressed miserably.]

[That is to say, the task is already completed, ah.] Xiang Han exclaimed then decided to continue lazing about.

[Mr. Xiang, I feel that… you seem a little upset.] System was worried.

Xiang Han: [Although I've already completed the task, but relations.h.i.+p-wise, I feel really uncomfortable. How can he become an ungrateful white-eyed wolf just like this?]

[Ah, I think it's because of the saying ‘how deep the love is, is how deep the hate'.] It was one of the rare few times that the System was able to a.n.a.lyse and reach a conclusion which was so close to the truth.
