Chapter 1165 I want to grow old with you
It did not take long for Xue Ping to arrive at Tang Zhou's office. As soon as she entered the office, she gently smiled at Tang Zhou and then greeted him with a sweet yet intimate smile," Brother Zhou! Did you miss me? I missed you a lot."
Tang Zhou looked up at Xue Ping who was carrying a lunch box and felt his lips twitch. His worldviews really had been refreshed, he never thought that one day he would suffer like this —— a woman younger than him by two decades was actually chasing after him and bringing him a lunch box.
He heard Xue Ping say gently, " Brother Zhou, you haven't eaten right? If you have not eaten then why don't you eat with me? I do not have any friends at the filming location and I do not like to eat alone."
She then placed the lunch box on the table and sweetly smiled at Tang Zhou, " I cooked everything just this morning before going to the set, though it might be cold… I promise that my cooking skills are really good."
Behind her Assistant Chi was speechless. So this was the image she was aiming for? The sweet and kind woman who would become a wonderful housewife. But why was she working so hard? Was Tang Zhou really her true love?
But how come this sudden true love appeared out of nowhere, if he was not wrong then Xue Ping was the one who called Tang Zhou a lot of names when she was caught smoking by him at a banquet. Tang Zhou had only tried to give her a piece of advice but instead, this woman had mocked him for being old and out of service.
She even mocked him for being too nosy.
So why did she suddenly change her attitude towards Tang Zhou all of a sudden? Assistant Chi simply could not fathom this woman just as he could not fathom how thick her skin was, she was the one who called Tang Zhou those unsightly names and now Xue Ping was acting as if that thing never happened!
Though Assistant Chi did not want to leave these two alone with one another, he knew that he could not interrupt this matter as this was Tang Zhou's personal matter. How could he even say anything in between? What was more even Song Yan had warned Tang Zhou again and again that this woman was not good, if his dear boss still wanted to get entangled with her then why would he mess with him?
Assistant Chi glanced at Tang Zhou who met his gaze one last time before nodding and then stepping out of the office. Tang Zhou on the other hand simply felt annoyed and exasperated by Xue Ping's enthusiastic attitude. He was not a man who lost his temper at the smallest thing but Xue Ping was really riding on his head with her actions, did she think that she could do anything just because she was the daughter of his good friend?
Tang Zhou raised his head and then looked at Xue Ping before saying in an unfriendly voice, " I am an old man, Miss Ji. I do not have the liberty to sit down and eat with a woman of your age and time, since I am narrow-minded and too nosy for anyone to like me."
He threw back the words that Xue Ping had said to him ages ago.
When Xue Ping heard Tang Zhou's words, she knew that he was saying such things because of what she had said to him in the banquet, if it was not for the fact that she needed Tang Zhou's life to prolong her own, she would have lost her temper at Tang Zhou long ago but she did not dare to say anything to him, since she knew that she needed him.
Thinking about how Tang Zhou could make her rich and famous for the rest of her life with nothing but good luck heading her way, she did not flare up. Her eyes turned red as she squeezed out a smile and then said to Tang Zhou pitifully, " Brother Zhou, I know that I was too unlikeable and I have done a lot of things to hurt you in the past but I was immature and naive back then. I really did not want to harm you but my friends were there and you scolded me,"
" There is no need for your apology, Miss Ji," Tang Zhou was feeling a headache incoming, he just wanted to work hard and earn money. Why was it so hard? No wonder Song Yan said that he was unlucky when it came to women. He had gotten entangled with two women and both of them were bringing him nothing but losses. " We are not close enough to sit down and eat together. Nor am I your friend or colleague, please leave lest someone misunderstands."
Xue Ping also wanted to leave but when she thought about how she did not have the time to throw tantrums, she tearfully said, " But I want them to misunderstand us, Brother Zhou. I really like you, don't you like me? Do you not understand my feelings for you?"
" Miss Ji, you are still young. I am afraid that I cannot afford to make such a mistake, nor do I have any feelings towards you. I need someone who is mature and capable, not a child who needs to be taken care of. I have tried to be polite with you but it seems that my opinion and liking mean nothing to you as long as you get what you want," Tang Zhou hardened his heart and rejected Xue Ping coldly.
He had thought that with his cold-hearted rejection, Xue Ping would leave but instead, she stayed where she was and instead of leaving she knelt on the floor and reached out to hold his hands. She confessed, " Brother Zhou, I love you! I really like you a lot, I am not playing around with you. I want to marry you and grow old with you!"
