Chapter 2001  : You Want To Break Off the Engagement? (2)

Mu Yuchen’s tone was very calm when he said this.

After experiencing so many things, Mu Yuchen’s heart was much calmer now. Wang Hui and Mu Yinan’s departure had made him extremely sad, but this hurdle would eventually be overcome.

“That’s what they say. It’s really not easy to walk through such a dark period.” Zhou Zimo took a sip of his coffee and said helplessly.

“Trust them. They should be coming back this time,” Xi Xiaye replied.

“Ah Mo and Lingshi are our good friends. Lingshi is Chen’s cousin. She and Ah Mo are a couple. We grew up together.”

When he saw Qin Su’s puzzled look, Zhou Zimo explained simply.

Qin Su nodded and did not say anything. After all, she could not get a word in.

“You’ll get to know them then. They’re quite a considerate couple.”

Xi Xiaye smiled as well.

“Your good friends are also my friends.” Qin Su then replied.

“Oh, right, come to my house for dinner this Thursday. Help me check if there’s anything missing from the house. I’ve never been married before, so I don’t have much experience. Can you invite Qi Lei?” Zhou Zimo asked.

“It’s fine if we go over, but I’m afraid Qi Lei won’t be able to come. He went abroad.”

Mu Yuchen took a sip of coffee.

“Abroad? He went abroad just like that?”

Zhou Zimo was stunned for a moment. He thought about it for a while and suddenly remembered what Lian Ziyao had said to him a few days ago. However, he had some guesses in his heart.

“He hasn’t been idle recently. Don’t count him in. You need to pay more attention to Myanmar and see if you can help a little,” Mu Yuchen said simply.

“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. I’ve put a lot of effort into his previous matters as well. I’ll get them to be more alert later on.”

Zhou Zimo’s dark eyes darkened a little as well. He seemed to have a bad premonition, but he could not tell exactly what it was.

...

When the few of them left, it was already close to evening.

Zhou Zimo and Qin Su went straight to the Zhou family’s old residence. Liang Jing had already called and told them that the family had prepared their favorite dishes. She told them to be sure to go home for dinner and check the status of the guest list at the same time, Zhou Zimo had only personally invited a few close friends, and there were still a few important invitations that had yet to be sent out.

On the road, the driver was Zhou Zimo. Qin Su sat in the front passenger seat and closed her eyes to rest.

The couple did not say much after they got into the car. However, they did not seem to feel awkward sitting there.

“Are you tired?”

Zhou Zimo could not help but ask with concern when he saw that she had been closing her hands.

Qin Su suddenly opened her eyes when she heard this. She turned her gaze to look at him unexpectedly. When she saw that he was still focused on driving, she said, “I’m fine. I need to think about something.”

“About the training?”

Zhou Zimo knew that there were only a few things that could make her worry. She only cared about these things.

Qin Su nodded. “I initially thought that it was going well, but...”

“Did they not loosen up?”

Zhou Zimo glanced at her in understanding and then smiled, “Actually, you can tell Father that this matter is only a matter of a word from him. Moreover, he has always been very satisfied with you as his daughter-in-law. With such a background, even if you are unwilling to use these connections, they will not trust you so easily. Moreover, for someone with your personality, if they don’t know your background, it will be very easy for others to get their hands on you.”

Zhou Zimo naturally hit the nail on the head. Qin Su’s expression darkened slightly when she heard this, but she did not reply.

“Go back and probe Father, he’ll understand and help you.”

Zhou Zimo reminded her.

“I can’t ask my family to help me with everything. Moreover, the military is a place with strict discipline. If word gets out, I’m afraid it won’t be good either.”

Qin Su had her own considerations. Now that she looked at it, it was not hard to imagine that her competitors were quite strong.

“Not being able to handle such a small matter isn’t like Father’s style. This isn’t a problem of style. You, Qin Su, haven’t lost to anyone in terms of strength. Moreover, in terms of strategic guidance, you naturally need someone with rich combat experience to be responsible for it. On this point, shouldn’t you be confident?”

Zhou Zimo glanced at her disapprovingly.

Qin Su, on the other hand, had a slight headache as she held her forehead and could not help but say tiredly, “Zhou Zimo, do you think that I’ve gotten old in these two years? That I can’t keep up with those young and energetic new comrades?”

“How can that be? It’s not like I’m asking you to personally carry out combat training, so you don’t have to worry. However, the collective training is very hard work, and you actually had the heart to bear such great pressure.”

Although Zhou Zimo also supported her decision, regarding the collective training, he still felt a little heartache for her.

“I feel that I should still belong to the army. I’ve already planned to continue studying for my master’s degree and take this opportunity to return to the army after the collective training ends. In the future, I might even be able to transfer to the military academy to be a teaching teacher. I like the atmosphere in the military camp. “You... You’re willing to support my mother?”

Actually, Qin Su had been thinking about this idea for a long time. She had always felt that she should pursue the life she wanted. Although her current job was not bad and was much easier than in the military camp, it was not the kind of working environment that she wanted, she still liked to watch the soldiers train. That kind of aura and spirit made her feel very comfortable. It was not like the gloomy atmosphere in the political world.

“Do you want to be a soldier for the rest of your life?”

Zhou Zimo frowned slightly.

“You should know what that means. Qin Su, I don’t want you to be so worn out.”

“No, only by letting me do work that I don’t like and live a life that I don’t want will I feel worn out. Being mentally worn out is far more torturous than being physically worn out.”

Qin Su’s gaze was filled with hope.

Zhou Zimo did not answer, but there was a faint sense of disappointment in his dark eyes.

“Do you feel torturous being with me? Our current life?”

After a long while, Zhou Zimo finally asked.

Qin Su was stunned for a moment. When she turned her head, she also captured the disappointment in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed softly, “I just feel...”

“Don’t go back... Qin Su... I hope that you can stay by my side. Isn’t it good for us to go to work like this every day? Don’t go back anymore. If you really don’t like the days in the political arena, then quit your job and come to the company. I’ll arrange a good position for you, hmm?”

Zhou Zimo’s words were filled with anticipation—

He did not want to separate from her. He only hoped to see her before him every day.
