Chapter 78

Chapter 1: Do You Admit Your Guilt? I Admit You’re a Fool!

“Blind date? Did you go?”

“My mom forced me.” Wen Han let out a helpless bitter smile, “I had no choice but to go.”

“She forced you?”

“Yes, she forced me.”

After a brief silence in the office.

Zhou Bin spread his hands calmly: “So, do you have any thoughts about it? Whatever decision you make, I will respect your choice.”

People like Zhou Bin always appear very mature and gentlemanly on the surface.

But the crazier they get, the more terrifying they become!

Wen Han pondered for a moment and shook her head: “He treats me well, and my mom likes him a lot.”

Zhou Bin frowned instantly: “And you? Feelings should be in your own hands!”

“Hmm…” Wen Han sighed, “Honestly, I’m not that interested in him. But my mom said… since I already have a child, I should try to avoid those who are divorced or have ties with their ex-wives…”

Zhou Bin fell silent.

He squinted, and after a long time, he looked up: “Are you worried that I will still have contact with Xu Fang and her son in the future?”

Wen Han did not respond.

Zhou Bin continued: “I have completely cut off all ties with them.”

Wen Han shook her head: “Boss, someone like me really doesn’t have the right to ask for much. But… the blind date isn’t worried. He hasn’t been married yet, so my mom really likes him.”

“…You don’t trust me?”

“It’s not a matter of trust.” Wen Han shook her head again, “Boss, I… Do you know? In my heart, my mom is the most important. My dad left early; I don’t want my mom to be unhappy…”

“…I understand.”

A sudden pang hit Zhou Bin’s heart, but how could he accept that?

All because of Xu Fang!

Didn’t she say she wanted to die? Why didn’t she die sooner? Why is she causing me trouble…

He bit his lip and remained silent for a long time before finally saying: “I just want to ask you one question, do you like me?”

Wen Han closed her eyes: “I… I don’t know, maybe a little? But to be honest, with my current situation, I have to consider other factors besides liking.”

Wen Han’s honesty made Zhou Bin feel a sense of being trusted, and he felt that she had already opened her heart to him.

In other words, Wen Han had actually accepted him and was willing to be with him.

But because of the ex-wife and child, so…

Zhou Bin took a deep breath: “I can generously tell you, I like you!”

“Boss…”

“I will definitely solve this matter! …As long as Xu Fang and Xu Tong will no longer have any contact with me in the future, you’d be willing to be with me, right?”

Wen Han was silent, but her head lightly nodded: “Actually, with my conditions, I really don’t have the right to ask you, but…”

“It’s okay, I understand. I’ve long been fed up with them too.” Zhou Bin snorted coldly, “You have no idea how annoying they are; I’ve wanted to cut ties with them completely! Don’t worry, I will handle this matter soon.”

Wen Han nodded: “…Then boss, I’ll go to work first.”

“Still calling me boss?”

“…Zhou Ge.”

“Good~” Zhou Bin smiled slightly, “Don’t tire yourself out. From now on, this bar will be just you and me. You don’t need to perform anymore; take charge of the management in a while.”

What Zhou Bin said wasn’t entirely from the heart.

But whether true or false, whether believed or not, everyone likes to hear nice words, especially when pursuing a woman.

“Mm-hmm…” Wen Han, as he expected, revealed a look of joy and shyness, like a little woman being spoiled by a domineering CEO.

Zhou Bin felt quite pleased and laughed heartily for a while.

“By the way.” Taking advantage of her adrenaline rush, Wen Han immediately looked up with a troubled expression, “Zhou Ge, can I ask to advance a few months’ salary?” The more she spoke, the less confident she became.

Zhou Bin frowned immediately: “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“The old place is not safe; I want to move to a new home, and Little Yuan’s tuition fees need to be paid, so I…” Wen Han rubbed her clothes corner.

But Zhou Bin became even more delighted, slamming the table with a commanding gesture: “I said it, from now on it’s no longer about you and me! I’ll transfer you fifty thousand yuan right now.”

“Fifty thousand?!” Wen Han was taken by surprise, “Isn’t that too much?”

Fifty thousand? You’re worth two hundred thousand!

“Don’t say those polite words.” Zhou Bin said with an uplifted smile, “Your matters are my matters, please trust me.”

“I…” Wen Han immediately showed a grateful and shy smile, obediently nodded, “Zhou Ge, then I’ll go sing now~”

“Mm.”

“…You’re really good!”

Leaving that last sentence, Wen Han shyly ran out.

Zhou Bin watched her leave with a sense of satisfaction.

As soon as the door closed, his expression darkened instantly.

“Xu Fang…” He twisted the pen in his hand, “Ugh! How should I resolve this?”

……

“Hmm?” Back at the bar, Wen Han suddenly sensed a familiar aura.

She looked around but couldn’t spot the owner of that aura.

“Wait…”

After a moment, she suddenly guessed something and looked toward the office while singing on stage.

……

Bang.

The office door was suddenly flung open.

Zhou Bin frowned abruptly and looked up: “Why didn’t you knock… Is it you? Who let you in?”

“Sorry.” Su Zeheng smiled slightly and walked in cautiously, “I barged in to tell you something.”

“Something?” Zhou Bin eyed him suspiciously, “Please sit.”

“Thank you.”

Su Zeheng sat down, feeling some warmth still lingering in the chair, and immediately understood something.

However, he didn’t pay much attention to it and took out a stack of documents from his briefcase: “Mr. Zhou, I just went to the hospital.”

“The hospital?”

Zhou Bin already understood and waved his hand directly.

“Just say what you want to say.”

“Your ex-wife’s situation is very bad.” Su Zeheng no longer delayed, “The doctor said she might live at most another year, but… this year will be more painful than death—extremely, extremely painful.”

Zhou Bin’s throat moved slightly, his eyes darting around in a panic.

“What does this have to do with me? I… have long divorced her.”

“Mr. Zhou, I’ve talked to your ex-wife for a bit; she seems to still care about you.”

“…” Zhou Bin lowered his head, then suddenly became furious, “How could a person like her care about me?”

“Are you angry?” Su Zeheng fixed his gaze on him, “You now regret the infidelity and betrayal in your youth but are unwilling to admit it, right?”

“Nonsense!” Zhou Bin suddenly stood up, “Let me tell you, I’ve never made a mistake! That wasn’t infidelity! She was the one who was at fault first; we were already on the verge of divorce back then. I wouldn’t call that infidelity at all!”

“You don’t need to repeat yourself in a fit of rage.” Su Zeheng sighed, “If that’s the case, then tell me what she did wrong back then?”
