57. Su Zeheng the Tingling
“I…” Wen Han did not appear shy; instead, there was a calm understanding, “Boss, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Unlike Qin Long, Zhou Bin had known her for a long time. The act of being shy would only make her seem false.
“To be honest, at first I thought you were like any other girl applying for a job,” Zhou Bin said with a bitter smile. “But later, I realized you were different. You’ve been working here for so long, yet you’ve never truly gotten involved with the customers or done anything reckless. In my eyes… you’re a simple and kind girl.”
“I…”
“Wen Han, I’ve been divorced, and you’ve had a child.”
Zhou Bin licked his lips, then suddenly looked up with deep emotion.
“You should know what I mean. I really like you. I also know that it’s not easy for you to raise a child alone. Look at you, working two jobs every day… how about we raise the child together?”
Raise me?
Ha ha ha, just give me your soul directly, twenty thousand would be enough for a while.
“Boss, I… I…” Wen Han remained composed, “I… Boss, I have a lot on my mind right now, too many things to do, I haven’t thought that far ahead.”
“I want to help you.” Zhou Bin, being older, appeared very calm, “I want to take good care of you. You are the first woman who has made me feel this way.”
Wen Han was silent.
Zhou Bin smiled slightly and continued, “To be honest, I’ve lived so long but felt for the first time that I met someone special in my life. I rejected many women because I already have you in my heart, and I won’t allow anyone else to occupy that space.”
“I…” Wen Han hesitated, “Boss, I know what you mean.”
“Then…”
Zhou Bin suddenly reached out to grab Wen Han’s hand.
She immediately pulled back, placing her hands between her legs.
Zhou Bin’s smile abruptly stopped, and he frowned, “Wen Han, you don’t want to accept me?”
“I just think it’s too sudden,” Wen Han sighed, “I don’t know how to respond. I… I might have forgotten how to interact with another person.”
“… ” Zhou Bin was silent for a moment, still composed, “Alright, I won’t force you. Don’t feel pressured! But please remember, my arms are always open for you, my home is always open to you, and our bar welcomes you anytime. I will always stand behind you.”
Old thing, you must have used this line to deceive many young girls, right?
“… ” Wen Han pursed her lips and nodded before leaving hurriedly.
Watching the door close, Zhou Bin revealed a confident smile.
“Not agreeing… but she didn’t refuse either. We’ll take it slow, after all, she’s still just a little girl.”
From the moment he first saw Wen Han, Zhou Bin inexplicably fell for her and couldn’t control his thoughts about her.
At first, he wasn’t too concerned, but every time he was with a woman, his mind was filled with her image.
At that point, Zhou Bin realized he had to have this woman!
However, he was no longer an impulsive kid. He wasn’t in a rush. After all, Wen Han worked at his bar, and he had plenty of time to make her fall deeply in love with him, unable to leave.
Ding…
The ringing phone brought him back to reality.
He immediately picked up, “Hello?”
“… It’s me,” the voice on the other end seemed reluctant.
“Need money again?” Zhou Bin’s face showed disgust, “It’s been so many years since I divorced your mother, why are you still asking…”
“My mom is sick.”
The voice stopped abruptly, and Zhou Bin frowned, “… What happened?”
“A few days ago, Mom suddenly couldn’t wake up. When we took her to the hospital, they found it was serious, almost like a terminal illness. She… is suffering.”
Zhou Bin was silent for a long time.
But the boy on the other end couldn’t help but urge, “Mom wants to see you!”
Zhou Bin remained silent, his gaze complex.
“You’ve already wronged Mom once, and now you’re unwilling to come see her?” the voice on the phone became agitated, “I know everything! What you did back then…”
“Enough, how did Xu Fang teach you? Acting disrespectful!” Zhou Bin detached himself from his hesitation and spoke coldly, “I understand. Give me the address, I… I’ll go see her tomorrow.”
…
“Good—!”
“Great singing! That’s what singing is all about!”
“Beautiful!”
Neon lights flickered.
In the bar, the drunk guests clapped and cheered.
Wen Han sang with a smile, enjoying this moment of relaxation.
A moment later, she quietly left the stage and sat down at the bar.
“Old Di.”
“Your water.” The bartender Old Di handed her a glass of warm water without further explanation, “I’ve prepared it for you.”
Wen Han looked up and smiled, “Thanks.”
“Hello, a glass of orange juice.”
A familiar voice suddenly came from beside her, and Wen Han froze.
She pushed aside the hair blocking her right view and saw Su Zeheng smiling brightly at her.
“What are you doing here?” she asked calmly as she drank the warm water.
“Thank you.” Su Zeheng accepted the orange juice, “This is a bar, can’t I come here?”
“Hmph, of course you can.” Wen Han rested her arm on the bar, “But I reject your advances.”
“You suddenly came to the bar, so your next target should be someone here, right?” Su Zeheng lowered his voice, “Who is it?”
Wen Han smiled faintly, “Uncle, you can guess yourself~”
With that, she suddenly pointed at his heart, “Maybe it’s you next.” Her finger circled around.
Su Zeheng looked down at his finger, then back at Wen Han, feeling a shiver run through him, tingling all over.
Because Wen Han, this witch, seemed to intentionally hit…
…
On the vast grassland.
“Moo—!”
A cow mooed and continued eating grass.
The calves gathered and ate quickly, creating a harmonious scene.
…
Back in the bar.
The two stared silently at each other, and Su Zeheng swallowed hard.
“What are you doing?!”
Bam! A fist the size of a sandbag suddenly broke the silence.
Su Zeheng reacted swiftly and dodged, but in his panic, he fell off his chair and stumbled into the bar counter.
“Damn it, who let you touch her?” A drunken guest suddenly pointed a bottle at Su Zeheng, “F*ck off!”
But before he could finish, security dragged him out of the bar.
Su Zeheng: “???????”
Seeing his bewildered and aggrieved look, Wen Han couldn’t hold back anymore, “Hahaha… Uncle, I warned you: don’t get close to me, it’s dangerous!”
“Taking pleasure in others’ misfortune?!”
“Welcome back to the bar.” Wen Han stood up, patting his shoulder, “But I’m not staying.”
“You wait… never mind.”
That rosy figure slowly walked away.
Su Zeheng looked at the fallen chair, then at the bartender Old Di watching him, and finally thought of something, looking silently where Wen Han had left.
He hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and suddenly found a note being handed to him.
“Huh?” He turned in surprise.
“Little brother, you’re so handsome~” Old Di winked, “I’m Da Meng 0~ How about we be friends?”
…
Recycling Station.
“As expected of an old man, Zhou Bin has such a past?”
Sitting in Lin Wuju’s armchair, Wen Han flipped through the documents and muttered.
Lin Wuju stepped out of the darkness and sighed, “That’s my spot.”
“In his youth, he cheated, abandoned his wife and children, and ran off with another woman.”
Wen Han ignored him and continued muttering.
“But deep down, Zhou Bin still has some feelings for his ex-wife. And in his old age, he realized the problems from his youth. However, his pride prevents him from admitting it, making him even worse to his ex-wife, treating her worse than an enemy! This way, he convinces himself he hasn’t made mistakes and always believes it’s someone else’s fault.”
Closing the documents, she looked up.
“This is a ruthless, extremely proud old man with extreme self-respect!”
