“I’ll give you one last chance to answer me honestly.”

Was he not satisfied with her praise? Su Wen wracked her mind for other ways to praise Zhou Hengyang.

“It’s because you’re tall and handsome, yes. You’re very manly.”

Zhou Hengyang turned around and looked at Su Wen strangely.

Su Wen took no notice of his strange look, continuing her endless praise, thinking he was still dissatisfied with her response. Her mind worked a mile a minute, coming up with more ways to sing praises of him. “You’re responsible and always keep to your promises. How could someone like Li Xue be worthy of someone so outstanding and gentlemanly like you?”

Su Wen, who had her head bowed in deep thought, missed the victorious smile that lit up Zhou Hengyang’s face.

“What about you?” Zhou Hengyang suddenly asked.

“Me?” That was not a question as easily answered. Praising others was no trouble, but she could not make herself out to be any less than they were. Otherwise, wouldn’t she be helping the competition? Su Wen was not about to let herself suffer such a loss.

“Hehe…” Su Wen giggled. “Naturally, I’m outstanding too. How else would I be a match for you? You’d have to be blind to agree to a bad match.”

“Excellent, you’re right.”

“Of course I am. We’re married, after all.” Ah! Su Wen was relieved that her smooth talking had won out.

“How are you doing in the city?” Su Wen quickly changed the subject.

“So, so.”

“Why do you say that?” It was a response Su Wen had not anticipated. She knew that Zhou Hengyang was doing very well in the city, so why would he play down his achievements?

Zhou Hengyang stared at the ground. “It’s not easy making a living; I still don’t earn enough.”

“Then, then…” Su Wen stuttered.

“Oh, are you thinking about that bicycle Liu Chun gave you? It was deducted from my salary.” Hah! As if. Since Liu Chun decided to gift it to Su Wen without consulting him, he would have to pay for it himself. He would make sure to put it on Liu Chun’s tab. That would teach him a lesson for his shamelessness.

“I see.” Su Wen nearly raised her hands in mock surrender.

It seemed Hengyang still had his guard up against her. Despite doing well and accumulating resources quickly, he pretended to be poor.

Indeed, he was a black-bellied protagonist.

Since he refused to come clean, Su Wen decided to play along and pretend she was none the wiser. She could not lay out all her cards and risk being exposed for not being the original Su Wen.

“Are you working in the same factory as Liu Chun?” Su Wen asked, playing dumb.

“Yes, I am. It’s called Changhe Machinery Factory.”

Of course, she knew the name of the factory he worked in! The future Changhe Industries and Changhe Group would cover manufacturing in almost all sectors, from car production to the building of engines.

She knew it all too well.

“Hmm… It isn’t a bad name,” Su Wen said. “It sounds quite meaningful. It reminds me of a few lines from a poem, ‘The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the setting sun shines round in the long river.”‘

Zhou Hengyang frowned, wondering if Su Wen had honey on her lips.

How else could she speak so sweetly?

Zhou Hengyang tilted his head and looked at her. His gaze landed on Su Wen’s plump, red lips, so alluring in the cold moonlight. He felt his Adam’s apple bob up and down, and he had an irresistible urge to find out whether they tasted as sweet as he imagined.

“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you moving?” Su Wen suddenly asked.

“No… It’s nothing.” His murmured reply sounded hoarse in his ears.

Zhou Hengyang only let go of her hand when they reached home. Su Wen did not notice these details at all. She yawned and went back to her room to sleep. She lay on her bed and was out like a light, not noticing when Zhou Hengyang returned from his shower.

He did not join her in bed; instead, he chose to sleep on the floor.

Su Wen had the whole 1.8-meter-long bed to herself.

The sky was already lit when she awoke the next day. Su Wen heard the voices of Sixth Sister and Little Sister Su in the courtyard and lazily rubbed the sleep from her eyes. Slowly, she sat up and found herself dazed..
