Zhao Dong stared into Sophie's eyes, "Do I need to ask?"
Sophie was a little flustered by what he saw, "Zhao Dong, you...what do you mean?"
Zhao Dong said calmly, "I understand how big brother is. I won't act without aim, let alone hear any rumors and come to trouble you!"
"Since he moved his hands, he must have seen something, right?"
Sophie's heart sank, "What do you mean, you don't believe that this is all a misunderstanding?"
Zhao Dong sighed, "On the contrary, I believe you!"
"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't let you go to work at Xu Huayang's place."
"Since I know that this matter must be a misunderstanding, why should I bother myself by asking those details!"
Sophie was helpless for a moment, "Then what do you want?"
She was used to Zhao Dong's enthusiasm, and also used to his indifference.
I just couldn't get used to the calmness of him in front of me, so calm that it made people panic.
Zhao Dong was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Let's get married!"
Sophie was stunned, "What did you say?"
Zhao Dong looked at her and asked, "Didn't we agree that when I went to the provincial capital, we would have a wedding when we came back? Don't you remember?"
Sophie didn't know how to answer the question. It was her who said it, and of course she remembered it.
Not only that, during the few days that Zhao Dong went to the provincial capital, she secretly paid attention to wedding dresses, wedding celebrations, wedding candies and invitations.
Even in her spare time, she was still looking forward to whether Zhao Dong would make up a romantic proposal for her.
The result was unexpected, it would be this situation.
No flowers, no diamond rings, not even a proposal!
The previous troubles have not been resolved, and I am trapped in the same place by new troubles!
All the longings have come to nothing!
Seeing her silence, Zhao Dong asked, "What, you regretted it?"
Sophie hurriedly said: "I didn't!"
Zhao Dong raised his eyebrows, "Then why are you hesitating?"
Sophie didn't know how to explain it, so she asked hesitantly: "Do you think it's appropriate to talk about this topic under our current situation?"
Zhao Dong nodded, "It's a bit inappropriate."
Before Sophie could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly said: "Then resign from Hanhai."
Sophie was stunned by this, "Zhao Dong, what did you say?"
Zhao Dong looked at her and said, "I said, I will make money to support you from now on."
"If you want to work, you can find a job after marriage. You don't have to make much money, but I hope you can focus on your family!"
Sophie was a little uncomfortable, "Zhao Dong, you said you would not interfere with my work!"
She had indeed longed for marriage, but the marriage that Zhao Dong said was completely different from what she had imagined before.
The marriage in Zhao Dong's words sounds like a cage. Although it does not restrict freedom, it restricts her dreams.
Seeing that Sophie's reaction was a bit loud, Zhao Dong patiently explained, "I didn't interfere with your work, I just hope you can leave Hanhai."
Sophie was a little unhappy, "After all, you still don't believe me!"
Zhao Dong corrected, "It's not that I don't believe you, but that you are too strong and refuse to admit defeat. Under Xu Huayang, you always want to achieve something, and I don't want you to be too tired!"
"The most important thing is that my brother was almost arrested and sent to the police station this time because of the misunderstanding between you and Xu Huayang."
"If you continue to stay at Xu Huayang's place, what should I tell my elder brother?"
"How do you behave at home?"
Sophie didn't like this argument very much, "In order to explain to my eldest brother, you have to sacrifice my dreams?"
Zhao Dong asked, "For the sake of marriage, we should all make sacrifices, isn't it right?"
Sophie sneered, "That's nice to say, but what did you sacrifice for me?"
Zhao Dong suppressed his anger, "I know you have always disliked my security work at Huake, I can also resign!"
"Whether starting a business or changing careers, as long as you tell me, I will try my best to do it!"
"If you don't like it, I can also take the civil service exam. Although I don't like that system and working environment, I can give it a try!"
Sophie didn't answer, and with her silence, the car suddenly became quiet.
After a while, she suddenly said, "I won't resign!"
"I have put so much effort into this Hanhai project, and I don't want to just give up."
"It doesn't matter if I want to be strong or to save face, but I don't want to be a deserter anyway!"
"Yes, Zhao Dong, I want to marry you, but this is not what I imagined marriage should be like."
"If this is what you understand about marriage, then I take back what I said before!"
Zhao Dong's hand holding the cigarette trembled, and his heart felt as if someone had punched him hard.
The indescribable emotion made him fixate his eyes on Sophie's face, "Are you serious?"
Both of them had sacrificed too much for this wedding. At the critical moment, Sophie actually backed down?
Sophie was flustered. Under the same emotion, she didn't even dare to look at Zhao Dong, "I... Zhao Dong, I... I'm sorry... I didn't mean that..."
"Stop asking and give me some time to think about it, okay?"
…
Twenty minutes later, Zhao Dong parked the car at an apartment near Hanhai.
When he got off the car, he looked up and asked, "You live here now?"
Sophie couldn't see the explanation on her face clearly, "Well, I just rented a room, closer to the company."
Zhao Dong was silent for a moment and said: "I don't like to interfere with your privacy, and I don't object to you making friends, but I want to explain to Xiaoman that Xu Huayang didn't tell me about sending you home."
Sophie was slightly disgusted, "I don't want to talk about this now."
Zhao Dong did not continue, "Let's go, I'll take you up."
Seeing that Sophie didn't move, he seemed to understand something, "You go up, I'll watch from here, and send me a message when you get home."
Under the streetlight, a figure gradually faded away.
Zhao Dong looked at it foolishly, as if his soul had been pulled away together.
Ten minutes later, a message lit up the screen, "Hubby, I miss you..."
Zhao Dong was stunned for a moment, his calm mood boiling instantly as if someone had poured hot oil on him!
He hurriedly dialed the phone and was unexpectedly hung up.
Surprised, he sent a message, "Tell me in your room and I will go up to find you!"
Sophie quickly replied, "No, don't come, I don't want you to see me like this."
"Husband, give me some time and some privacy."
"I'm very confused and in a bad state right now. I'm afraid that I'll say the wrong thing and make you sad..."
Zhao Dong grabbed the phone and almost lost control of his emotions under the violent fluctuations.
…
On the other hand, the eldest brother was also in a bad mood.
He didn't want to believe that Sophie was the kind of girl who didn't behave well, but what he saw tonight was like a thorn in his heart.
Maybe Sophie really didn't care about the boss named Xu, but what about him?
The relationship between the two is obviously not that of a superior or a subordinate, but more than that of ordinary friends.
An outsider can see the clues, but Xiaodong can't?
Since he knew Xu Huayang had ulterior motives, why did he still want Sophie to stay in his company?
The more I think about it, the more upset I get!
My wife is still with Xiaoman in the hospital, and my mother went to bed early.
The eldest brother was sitting alone on the rooftop drinking wine. After a while, the screen of his mobile phone came on.
He recognized it, it was a complicated and rare number.
On the defensive, the elder brother attributed the call to a scam.
It wasn't until the fourth time the phone rang that he finally answered.
Before he could open his mouth, a woman across from him said playfully, "Brother Zhao Qing, guess who I am?"
