“No, Mother, don’t let your imagination run wild. I just don’t have any expectations for marriage. I’m used to being free.”

Before Liang Jing could finish her sentence, Zhou Zimo had already cut her off.

“Then you have no reason…”

“Do you think that every person who doesn’t get married is thinking of someone else?”

Zhou Zimo retorted with a question that was rarely seen on his gentle face, his eyes were as silent as the stars in the silent night—

“I’m not, so don’t project your speculations on me. I’ll take your considerations to heart. I’ll find a wife that everyone is satisfied with as soon as possible.”

After a long silence, Zhou Zimo replied in a low voice.

This time, his tone was not as perfunctory as before. Instead, it sounded a little serious.

“Don’t worry about me anymore, if you don’t want me to never get married in my entire life. I know myself better than any of you, if there’s one that I’m satisfied with, I wouldn’t let it go. If I don’t even like them, there’s no point in marrying them. I don’t have the courage to be like you and Father. Father is very broad-minded, and I have too many things to consider. Besides, not every woman can be as sensible as you, Mother.”

Zhou Zimo said in a deep voice.

“Pfft, do you hear what you’re saying. It wasn’t easy to say for your Father and I. In all these years, there have been times when we’ve quarrelled. Fortunately, your Father hasn’t been so calculative with me. He’s just a pain in the neck, no matter how much you make a fuss, he can’t be bothered with you. Later on, your anger will just fade.”

When Liang Jing talked about her husband, Zhou Zhenjun, there was a gentleness in her eyes.

In fact, back then, love was really simple for them. Instead now, with the development of the times, the relations.h.i.+ps of the younger generation have made it difficult for them to see clearly.

“Your relations.h.i.+p with father at that time was more pure. I heard from father that you had quite a lot of choices in the beginning?”

Zhou Zimo did not know much about his parents’ relations.h.i.+p, but when Liang Jing brought it up, he was a little curious.

“Of course. Your mother was young and pretty at that time. Your father’s criteria for choosing a partner was the same as yours. He was an extremely arrogant playboy back then, he only had eyes for young and pretty girls. Before he was with me, your father had a few girlfriends. Did he think that I didn’t know about his affairs? I’m Liang Jing?”

Liang Jing narrowed her eyes and said.

“Also, let me tell you, I had a partner at that time, but it was because I was in a different city…”

“Because you were in a different city, so you guys just let it go. Later on, my father forcefully conquered you?”

Zhou Zimo raised his handsome eyebrows and could not help but say this. A smile also appeared on his face, but that smile seemed a little lonely, “Actually, I do long for the kind of love that the two of you had back then. After you and Father got married, Father was not always by your side, but the two of you could stay together until now. However, not everyone can do the same.”

“This also depends on the person. If it wasn’t for the fact that your father treated me fairly well and that your grandma and grandpa were on my side, I wouldn’t have been able to endure it. I didn’t suffer much before, it’s after marrying your father that it was hard, especially after giving birth to you.”

“Father is quite accommodating.”

“If he isn’t accommodating, the sky would turn upside down! With your father’s character, sometimes I even wonder if I married the wrong person.”

Although Liang Jing said this, the gentleness on her face was even more intense.

Zhou Zimo also lowered his gaze and smiled.

“Mmm, just admit that for the rest of your life, you’ve fallen into my father’s hands.”

“Yeah, in the blink of an eye, more than half my life has pa.s.sed just like that. Time flies, I feel like I haven’t done much yet. So, son, you have to hurry up, you’re really not much younger anymore.”

As she said this, Liang Jing could not help but worry again.

“Okay Mother, I got it. It’s late, you should go back and rest early.”

“Okay, you should also wash up and rest early. You’ve been pretty tired these past few days. I can see that you have dark circles under your eyes.”

“Okay, goodnight, Mother!”

“Goodnight!”

Only then did Liang Jing get up and leave.

…

‘Bang—’

The sound of the door closing could be heard. Zhou Zimo took a deep breath and leaned back on the sofa behind him. He could not help but feel a headache coming on.

The current him felt like he could not land on his feet, he felt lonely and adrift.

Usually, he would call Su Chen or Qi Lei to come out for a drink, but now…

His buddies had their own lives, and he was the only one left.

Get married?

This was something that had always felt far away for Zhou Zimo. At least before this, he had never thought of spending the rest of his life with a woman.

However, in the end, being alone was not as carefree as he had imagined.

Otherwise…

…

Mu Yuchen only found out about Zhou Zimo and Qin Su from Su Chen the next day—

In the backyard of Maple Residence.

Mu Yuchen woke up early and was pruning the plants when the butler suddenly came to report.

“Master, Master Su is here!”

When he heard this, Mu Yuchen did not stop moving. Instead, he responded with a grunt.

When the butler left, Su Chen’s footsteps could be heard.

“The chrysanthemums in this courtyard seem to be blooming quite well. I just came in and smelled a refres.h.i.+ng fragrance. Why are you alone? Where are Xiaye and Mu Xiaocheng?”

Su Chen’s voice rang out, and he stopped behind Mu Yuchen with a few big strides.

“Back to the Shen Residence. Why are you here now?”

Mu Yuchen put down the scissors in his hand and took a towel to wipe his hands. Then, he turned around and sat on the rattan chair behind him.

Su Chen had already leisurely poured the chrysanthemum tea that was brewing on the side. He took a sip before saying, “What if I said that I came specially to see you?”

Mu Yuchen picked up the tea and glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, then quickly averted his gaze.

“It’s not like you, Su Chen, to talk about these things for fun. Besides, it was just the Mid-autumn Festival yesterday. You should accompany Ji Zitong back to your father-in-law’s house at this time,” said Mu Yuchen calmly.

“You didn’t accompany Xiaye back to the Shen Residence either?”

Su Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Yuchen.

Mu Yuchen did not answer. He just put down the teacup in his hand.

“Alright, enough with the opening remarks. I did come here today because I have something on my mind, guess what.”

Su Chen looked at Mu Yuchen with interest.

“The reason you’ve been looking for me lately is usually because of Zimo’s matter. This time, it should be no exception.”

Mu Yuchen’s sharp eyes glanced at Su Chen as he said casually.

When he said this, Su Chen raised his brows and could not help but laugh. “You’re really good at reading my thoughts. You really guessed it right!
