This sentence would be nothing if it was normal, but Zhao Dong heard that her tone today was a little different from before, as if she had anticipated a certain outcome in advance and was inoculating him.
"What do you mean?"
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Sophie hurriedly explained, "I don't mean anything else. I just want to say, can you please stop being so nice to me? I'm afraid I won't be able to give you what you want."
Zhao Dong didn't answer, and his annoyance became more and more serious.
Sophie saw that his expression was wrong and asked cautiously, "What's wrong with you? Did I say something wrong?"
Zhao Dong was even more upset. Sophie rarely cared about him so much in the past. Today's sudden abnormality made him realize that Sophie was hiding something from him.
After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, "Sophie, if you don't want to admit our relationship as husband and wife, I'll let you. You said you want to have a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship for a while, so I'll let you. But you have to understand that we
I didn’t ask for this marriage in vain, don’t use this reason as an excuse every time!”
Sophie rarely saw Zhao Dong's expression and was stunned for a moment.
Zhao Dong endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it today, so he asked one after another: "I especially want to know, who do you think I am? When you need it, just call me over, and when you don't need it, tell me not to do this to you.
Okay? My heart is also made of flesh. You are so hot and cold, have you ever considered my feelings?"
"Let's just talk about what happened tonight. It's all for no reason. Why should I offend a bastard like Brother Dao? It's not just for this family, but also to make Aunt Mei stop looking down on me!"
"Of course, I know that I, Zhao Dong, have only one life. Having a part-time job won't change your family's opinion of me much. But the food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. No one deserves it.
Bullied by you!"
Zhao Dong stopped talking. In fact, he was holding back a lot of words in his heart, but it was not appropriate to speak out at this time.
Sophie digested it for a while, then bit her lip and said, "Zhao Dong, you misunderstood me. I have never thought of bullying anyone based on my status as the eldest lady of the Su family. This time, I also seriously considered our relationship.
It's just... you're so kind to me that I feel a little uncomfortable for a moment, can you please give me some time?"
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly, if Sophie turned against him now and scolded him, it would make him feel better.
But Sophie, who had always been strong, suddenly showed weakness, making him panic for no reason.
But that’s it, what else can he say?
Zhao Dong stood up and walked to the guest bedroom, "I'm tired. You should go to bed early. Good night."
After calming down alone, he suddenly felt that his pride was causing trouble and he was too sensitive?
Zhao Dong hesitated for a moment, and was about to come out to apologize to Sophie, but found that there was no one in the living room, and there was the sound of water rushing from the direction of the bathroom.
Damn it, she shouldn't have cried because of him, right?
The more Zhao Dong thought about it, the more he blamed himself. He sat down on the sofa again. Before he could sit down, the satchel placed aside suddenly slipped down.
Various cosmetics fell to the floor, and he went to clean them up. He picked up half of them, and suddenly saw a half-open exquisite gift box.
Inside the gift box was a very beautiful brooch. Seeing that Sophie kept it close to her body so solemnly, it was probably worth a lot of money.
Zhao Dong didn't pay much attention to it at first. Just when he picked it up, a small card fell out.
He subconsciously took it, and before reinstalling it, he was stunned on the spot.
There is a line of small words on the card - If you are well, it will be sunny.
Finally, I drew a heart.
The font was sharp and sharp, obviously written by a man, especially the heart at the end of the sentence, which made Zhao Dong's heart feel like a needle pricking his heart.
Why did this card, which clearly expressed love, appear in Sophie's bag, and why was it kept close to her body?
Thinking of her abnormal words and deeds just now, Zhao Dong's pupils suddenly tightened, and the thing he least wanted to see happened.
It’s not like I had never expected this outcome before. After all, with Sophie’s excellence, it was normal for her to have suitors around her.
But when this kind of thing is before my eyes, I still feel indescribably depressed.
On the other side, Sophie came out of the bathroom, "Aren't you asleep? How..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw the satchel scattered on the ground.
Sophie's expression suddenly changed, "Why did you take my things without my permission?"
Zhao Dong explained feebly, "Your bag fell on the ground and I want to help you pick it up."
Sophie was doubtful, "Falled on the ground?"
Zhao Dong didn't ask any questions, put the gift box away, stood up slowly, "I'm going to bed, you should go to bed early."
Only then did Sophie notice that Zhao Dong had found the gift box, and she hurriedly said: "Listen to my explanation."
Zhao Dong asked back without looking back, "Is there anything else that can be explained?"
Sophie raised her eyebrows and said unconvinced: "That was just a gift from a friend of mine. You misunderstood."
Zhao Dong asked in an obscure tone, "Friend? The reason why you didn't go home tonight was because you were with him, right?"
Sophie's face looked a little ugly, "Zhao Dong, what do you mean by this?"
Zhao Dong turned around and said, "It's not interesting. Don't you want to explain? Then explain it to me."
Sophie was frightened by him. Zhao Dong's eyes were unfamiliar and vaguely bloodshot.
She had rarely seen Zhao Dong look like this, especially the suspicion in his eyes, which made Sophie feel uncomfortable.
She knew what Zhao Dong was suspecting, but out of his usual pride and making him not want to bow in front of this man, she said forcefully: "Yes, I am with him. He has just returned to China, and I will go to pick him up!"
"
"I just returned to China, so you have known each other for a long time?"
"He was my classmate when I was studying abroad."
"Classmate? I think he is a former lover, right?"
Sophie was like a hedgehog, "Zhao Dong, what qualifications do you have to inquire about my past, and why do you have to question my privacy?"
Seeing her look like this, Zhao Dong knew that his guess was close to the truth of the matter, and he felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body, "Yes, I am not qualified, so you don't have to explain anything to me."
Seeing that he didn't want to hear it, Sophie wanted to explain more and more, "You are right, I did date him for a while, but we are just friends now."
"Friends? Friends give gifts like this to each other?"
Sophie bit her lip, "What's wrong with this kind of gift? Zhao Dong, I originally thought you were a manly man, but I didn't expect you are also a man with a small belly!"
"It's you who insists on explaining."
"Don't think that other people's thoughts are as dirty as yours. I have nothing to do with them. We are just eating tonight!"
Zhao Dong did not doubt her words, but the truth of the matter was still difficult for him to accept.
It was okay to eat with her former lover without telling her, but to keep such a gift close to her body, what did she think of herself?
In vain, in order to clear up the relationship with Shu Qing, he never even responded to WeChat messages, and even carefully avoided it when visiting his mother.
But looking at it now, it turns out that everything was a joke and he was just a spare tire to get rid of the scapegoat Wei Dongming entangled with.
Once his true love returns to China, should he abdicate in favor of others?
