Chapter 392: Chapter 388 A Somewhat Obscure Fetish
——————
[Ying... Has everyone figured out what Beauty Zhou’s hobby is?]
Of course, not a second person knows about Zhou Zhenghui’s little quirk; having received an elite education from a young age, there’s no way he would let anyone discover his obscure hobby.
Xie Jingzi’s appearance takes after Zhou Xiuhua. Now that Zhou Xiuhua is older, plus being a village woman who has worked the fields for years, you can’t tell the beauty she once had. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
All you can see in Zhou Xiuhua’s features is a ’gentleness,’ which immediately gives the impression of a kind and honest old country woman, the epitome of a friendly rural elder.
But both Xie Tiesheng and Zhou Xiuhua have big eyes; the former with a sharp presence, the latter’s soft and tender like the dark glimmer of water, giving Xie Jingzi that extra natural affinity in her appearance.
Along with her voluptuous yet delicate emotions, and an honest and straightforward personality fostered over time, her character is soft with an air of nonchalance; what shines through her eyes is a gentle feminine ditziness—
The first time Zhou Zhenghui laid eyes on her, he was floored.
Love at first sight, for others, often focuses on looks, but not for him. He fell for those soulful eyes, hitting right on his secret fancy—he’s smitten with the ’innocent’ temperament, not just a cute, loli appearance.
After all, he’s nearly thirty; it’s not possible to be that superficial, addicted from just one glance at someone’s features.
That look can only be described as a glance that struck a chord.
Later, so many coincidences occurred, further convincing him that Xie Jingzi was the Angel sent by heaven to his side, satisfying his demands for a partner and in line with his hidden dark attributes.
In Zhou Zhenghui’s eyes, this is, a match, made, in, heaven.
Xie Jingzi is, unequivocally, his woman.
Right now, this woman obviously looks like she’s about to give up on him, could he just stand aside and smile?
At this moment, he feels his chest being painfully wrenched!
Men, too, are human, and just like women, they have feelings. The patience and tenderness Zhou Zhenghui has shown Xie Jingzi has even led Wan Song to think his master might have been switched at birth; it’s clear to see how much Zhou Zhenghui has changed when it comes to Xie Jingzi!
Now, seeing Xie Jingzi’s trembling delicate body, his body instinctively steps forward, his index finger twitches, but Zhou Zhenghui suppresses the urge to pull his little woman into his arms—
"Darling, you say it yourself, think it over before you speak! Once you’ve said it, no taking it back—"
Xie Tiesheng’s tiger-like eyes meet Zhou Zhenghui’s peach blossom ones, silencing his inner doubts: what kind of father-in-law would feel comfortable handing over his beloved daughter to a man so refined!
As for family backgrounds, he prefers to overlook it. Just seeing Zhou Zhenghui’s hairless, fairer-than-a-woman’s face is enough to deduct some first-impression points.
Zhou Zhenghui stares at Xie Jingzi’s back, his peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed with a cold glint flashing past; he scoffs in his heart, their marriage doesn’t hinge on Xie Jingzi’s opinion.
As for the Xie family elders? If they’re happy, then all is well. Even if they’re against it, to Zhou Zhenghui, that’s nothing more than an irrelevant stance.
Would he be wasting time here if it weren’t for the sake of saving his little woman some face?!
Xie Jingzi realized she truly couldn’t make things right, and her worried and pained expression gradually faded from her face.
Anyway, she knew in her heart that even though she had a good impression of Uncle, it wasn’t to the extent where she could abandon her father and mother. Therefore, she cast one last glance at Zhou Zhenghui and then looked straight at her parents and said:
"Dad, Mom, if you really don’t like him, then I won’t be involved with him anymore."
"..." Zhou Zhenghui’s face turned dark and gloomy, his peach blossom eyes seemed to be smoked, darkening as he stared at the fading silhouette in his pupils, gathering his energy internally—turning back, he intended to deal properly with this little woman, letting her dare to say anything!
Xie Jingzi didn’t have the courage to look at him again, her waist stiffened yet trembled, as she raised her red-flushed little face to her parents and earnestly said, "Dad, Mom, all I want is for you both to be well."
As for what was in her heart, Xie Jingzi dared not say more, her trembling body revealing the hurt within.
Xie Jingzi may be petite, but she knew how to prioritize. She couldn’t be two-faced, sweet-talking to their faces and then being different behind their backs. She was disappointed in her heart, but when compared to her parents’ feelings, that love affair seemed insignificant.
"What are you talking about, my dear child? You make it sound like your father and I are heartless people. Let’s all calm down and have a cup of tea. We can talk things over slowly, let’s not make decisions in the heat of the moment."
Yan Jinsu truly didn’t want to interfere, at most she wanted to act as a mediator, but the increasingly heavy feeling in her chest constantly reminded her that too much time was being wasted. She was going to be engorged soon, and couldn’t afford to waste time as a bystander.
At this moment, the atmosphere had become truly awkward. If she didn’t smooth things over, this visit would be spoiled.
Could she really just stand by and watch her little aunt’s first love come to an unceremonious end?!
"Xiao Zhou, I apologize for the awkwardness. Come, have a sip of tea to soothe your heart," Yan Jinsu said, not caring what everyone else was thinking. She naturally refilled everyone’s teacups with black tea, and after everyone settled back down, she took a sip herself.
"Xiao Zhou, don’t be upset with my in-laws for being annoyed. After all, you should know, Xiaozi is the baby of the family, and everyone dotes on and spoils her. Your sudden appearance... well, any parent would naturally be worried."
Yan Jinsu was completely unaware that the in-laws’ resolute rejection was because of the nasty rumors being spread about her little aunt back in their hometown. Moreover, the Zhou family was aristocratic, and the gap between the two families was too great, making them worry that her little aunt wouldn’t have anyone to defend her in the future!
If she knew, she could only silently sigh: What were the elders thinking, idle and conjuring up so many unnecessary worries?
Nothing has been settled yet, and the future is so far away; is it really necessary to start ’preparing for a rainy day’ now?
Zhou Zhenghui is, after all, a county committee deputy secretary. If he didn’t have any brains at all, no matter how good his family background was, he wouldn’t have gotten to where he is now!
Achievements are what count here, not like some idle job where one merely drinks tea and reads the newspaper!
"Elder, Ma’am, it is indeed presumptuous of me. But my feelings for Xiaozi are serious and there’s absolutely no frivolousness."
"Ah," Zhou Xiuhua sighed in response.
She scrutinized this ’future’ son-in-law, comparing his physique with her older son-in-law’s tall stature, Zhou Zhenghui seemed a bit lacking, a little too lean.
After being cajoled a few times by her son’s wife and taking in her advice, plus the fact that a mother knows her daughter best, could Zhou Xiuhua really not understand her daughter’s true feelings as soon as she lifted her little backside?
In that case, what use was she as a mother?
The most important thing was that Xie Jingzi had grown up by her side. She had accommodated even her son’s preferences, so how could she truly make things difficult for her daughter?
