Yu Zhou's throat suddenly went dry as soon as he saw Song Qing's expression.
It wasn't that he wasn't tempted. It was strange not to be tempted when a delicate girl made such a gesture in front of you.
But even if his heart trembled, he would never cause trouble at this time.
After all, his wife was heavily pregnant.
"Can we just talk about this properly?"
Even though his mouth was dry, Yu Zhou still said this.
His feelings were complicated. He couldn't figure out why Song Qing was doing this. After all, their relationship, though not bad, hadn't reached this point.
Moreover, he didn't remember any development beyond friendship between him and Song Qing.
So, Yu Zhou was completely bewildered and couldn't understand what was going on.
"What? You can't figure it out?"
On the other hand, Song Qing still had a smile on her face, but her expression made Yu Zhou's heart pound.
That feeling was simply indescribable.
"Do you think I should be able to figure it out?"
He was speechless. Others might care about his wealth or lack thereof, but Song Qing didn't seem like that.
Precisely because of this, he truly couldn't understand why she was doing this.
"It's actually very simple! I'm now in charge of the entire Tailong Light Industry. If I were to get married, I would have to hand this over."
"And originally, I didn't want to hand these things over, so marriage is now impossible."
"Besides, you are a capable and competent person. Do you think someone like you isn't attractive?"
Song Qing's voice was soft, but even so, she herself was starting to find this situation incredible.
What was she doing? Revealing her feelings?
"I'm capable, so I'm attractive?"
Yu Zhou was a little confused, not understanding where this attraction was coming from.
Moreover, didn't Song Qing say she never thought about getting married? Why was she doing this to him now?
Could this be a declaration of affection?
For a moment, Yu Zhou became extremely astonished. He had never expected Song Qing to be like this.
In his eyes, Song Qing was a very rational person, even excessively rational. How could such a person be so confused about this matter?
Well, in Yu Zhou's opinion, she was indeed confused, because he really couldn't figure out if he was truly that attractive.
And, more importantly, he was his wife's good friend. Didn't she think there was something wrong with this?
It wasn't that Yu Zhou found this situation hard to imagine. It was precisely because Song Qing was acting so calmly, as if she had had this idea for a long time.
As a result, even though he didn't have such thoughts in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh, truly having so much charm?
"Even if that's the case, isn't doing this between us a bit inappropriate?"
Yu Zhou wanted to refuse, but seeing Song Qing's expression, he found himself unsure how to refuse. It wasn't that he would actually agree.
It was just that this matter itself was so difficult to handle. He genuinely couldn't think of a good way to refuse it without hurting their relationship.
"Of course, I know!"
"But even though I know, some things are not within my control."
Hearing Yu Zhou's words, Song Qing was somewhat exasperated. She had practically offered herself, yet this guy showed no reaction.
Was her charm not enough?
Undeniably, she had called Yu Zhou for drinks today with this purpose in mind, but he hadn't said a word before.
But it was precisely because of this that Yu Zhou was somewhat confused.
What did she mean by "not within my control"? If you can't control it, it means it's not just a thought, but an emotion.
As a result, Yu Zhou didn't even know how to respond.
"You don't believe me?"
But at this moment, Song Qing had no intention of letting Yu Zhou off the hook.
She continued to stare directly at him, even beginning to reveal her true feelings.
"It's actually very simple. You are one of the most outstanding people I've ever met, not only capable but also responsible."
"So, even though I don't want to, I have to admit that I've gradually started to like you. It's precisely because of this that all of this is happening today."
Song Qing took a deep breath and finally said it.
She knew very well that this matter might end without any resolution. If Yu Zhou were that kind of person, she wouldn't be standing here talking to him now.
Wouldn't something have already happened between them?
But precisely because Yu Zhou showed no signs of action, Song Qing, even though unwilling, spoke her heart.
One couldn't deny that Yu Zhou, after his success, was indeed a charismatic man. It was precisely because of this charm that, even though he knew this was a so-called fleeting emotion, he was still somewhat irresistibly drawn.
"Don't I know you belong to Jiang Jie? And your relationship is not something I can destroy, so there's not much I can do, but I still can't help but want to do this."
"Can you give me a definite answer?"
Song Qing walked step by step towards Yu Zhou. The scent of soap began to fill Yu Zhou's nostrils.
For a moment, Yu Zhou felt an impulse to disregard everything.
However, he still didn't do so. He just sighed softly and said somewhat helplessly, "Alas! Why must you do this?"
He knew very well that this was a woman who wouldn't give up until she achieved her goal.
Even if he refused today, she might not bother him anymore, but she would never give up on what she desired.
However, this woman was someone he absolutely couldn't touch, at least not from Yu Zhou's perspective.
Their previous equal cooperation was based on the premise of mutual equality. Once this relationship developed, Yu Zhou couldn't even imagine what would happen next.
Not only could he not do it, but more importantly, Yu Zhou himself didn't want to do it.
Because his wife was still waiting for him at home.
He would never do anything to betray his wife during this critical period.
If he truly did so, what would be the difference between him being reborn and not being reborn?
