Chapter 1331: Jealousy
Chapter 1331: Chapter 1331: Jealousy
Half an hour later, a new round of rumors began to spread throughout the design institute, and as Zou Yi stepped out of his office, he was flabbergasted by the chatter he heard all the way to and within the restroom, where people discussed eagerly. Consequently, whenever someone saw Zou Yi, they would all shut their mouths in terror, pretending as if they didn’t exist.
Or they would immediately sprint away.
It made it seem like Zou Yi was the main character of these rumors.
This old institute director sure knew how to spread rumors.
What on earth was all this about?
Zou Yi pushed the door open with a loud noise and saw Zhou Hengguang standing silently in front of the window, staring outside, either daydreaming or deep in thought, but his back exuded an indescribable loneliness.
Zou Yi watched for almost a minute, and the figure by the window hadn’t moved.
After an uncertain amount of time had passed, Zhou Hengguang finally turned around, his voice slightly hoarse, “What’s up?”
“What are you thinking about?”
Zhou Hengguang smiled mockingly, “You’re being awfully intrusive, aren’t you? You’re not my wife. You want to control me too?”
Zou Yi’s face flushed with anger, “I’m just concerned about you. Why have you changed so much since I returned?”
Zhou Hengguang touched his face absently and countered, “Changed, have I? Did I become ugly? Lose my charm?”
“You know that’s not what I mean. I’m talking about your personality, your thoughts. I don’t even know them anymore.” Zou Yi closed the door behind him and walked into the office to sit on the large sofa, planning to have a long talk with Big Brother.
“You haven’t seen Big Brother yet. If you saw him, you’d find he has changed even more.” Zhou Hengguang’s expression suddenly turned cold, nothing of the patience he had just shown while talking with the old institute director. There was an unspeakable wickedness mixed with the coldness behind his glasses. Anyone he stared at couldn’t help but shiver involuntarily.
Even Zou Yi, who had grown up with him, couldn’t help but feel a chill.
“What’s wrong with you? I’m really scared.” Zou Yi ruffled his neat hair in frustration, making it disheveled, “Big Brother, you’re scaring me. I always feel like something bad will happen.”
Zhou Hengguang, sitting on the office desk, his long legs naturally crossed and one arm lazily propped against the surface behind him, said teasingly, “What’s there to be afraid of?”
Realizing he wouldn’t get an answer, Zou Yi sighed internally and gave up on his original plan, changing the topic instead.
“Did you know Su Qing has insisted on going on blind dates these past few days? Every morning, for four whole hours?”
“I know.” It was precisely because he knew that he was even more furious, so angry that he felt he might lose his mind. His temper was uncontrollable, and he didn’t even know what he might do.
The first time he didn’t let Yu Bin go was out of jealousy; he didn’t want her to meet any man for a date. But he hadn’t expected her to deal him such a blow.
She had actually waited there for four whole hours on the first day; how desperately did she want to find a man, to get married?
God knows how agitated Zhou Hengguang felt when he found out Qingqing had waited for Yu Bin for four whole hours, especially since he knew Yu Bin was present, even chatted her up secretly, watching her wait for herself for four hours.
Just thinking about Yu Bin watching Qingqing wait for him for four hours drove Zhou Hengguang mad.
It was also the first time he had tasted what jealousy was truly like.
In the past, he thought men who were jealous were laughable, foolish, simply incapable of controlling their emotions, effectively worthless. He never thought he himself could one day feel such uncontrollable jealousy.
What made him even more jealous was that Qingqing continued to wait for different men for ten consecutive days.
Each waited for four hours.
