"You should know my personality very well! If I were the irresponsible type, you would be in great danger today."
Yu Zhou didn't offer any sweet nothings to the other person, but this sentence alone conveyed his attitude.
He didn't want to sour his relationship with Song Qing over this matter, but he also didn't want to agree to anything.
Because he understood very clearly that at this moment, Yu Zhou could not do those scummy things, otherwise, his rebirth would be meaningless.
He could tolerate many things happening, but he couldn't change his inner self. Rather than struggling with it later, it was better to be upfront from the start.
"I know your situation, and I don't have any extravagant hopes."
"I just hope to experience what it's like to date you."
"If you were truly an irresponsible person, I wouldn't have any feelings for you."
Song Qing spoke directly and plainly, as that was exactly how she felt.
If Yu Zhou were a true playboy, she definitely wouldn't have any feelings for someone like him.
In their circle, how many people started messing around within their own circles?
Looking at it this way, Yu Zhou was a breath of fresh air in this circle. If it weren't for that, how could she have found this guy so outstanding and unconventional?
Coupled with Yu Zhou's inherent abilities, this gradually began to make Song Qing develop good feelings towards him. It was difficult to define such things with him, but it was precisely because of these good feelings that she had acted as she had.
"Have you really thought it through? Opportunities like this are rare!"
Song Qing looked at Yu Zhou with a playful glint in her eyes. Some things truly required courage.
Just like today, if she hadn't summoned up her courage, she would never have caused such a scene.
It was precisely because of this that Song Qing had clearly made up her mind long ago.
She just hadn't expected Yu Zhou to be so hesitant, not even showing a hint of excitement.
This was unreasonable!
At least in Song Qing's eyes, it was utterly unreasonable.
After all, she had the looks and the status. From any angle, she was very attractive.
Yet, this Yu Zhou showed no signs of being moved. He just sat there without making a statement, which made her feel truly upset or uncomfortable.
To put it mildly, she was the general manager of Tailong Light Industry. And here she was, offering herself, and this guy showed no reaction at all?
"I should go back. Can we pretend this never happened?"
Yu Zhou's expression was one of discomfort, but at this moment, he still didn't agree to anything.
He solidified his inner thoughts and also knew very well that if he really did anything, the consequences would be terrifying.
The fact that he had come this far was by no means because he was an irresponsible person.
This sense of responsibility was his unwavering inner conviction.
"Ah? You're leaving?"
Song Qing, upon hearing this, became visibly unhappy.
As expected, even though she had anticipated this outcome with high probability, her heart couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.
After all, she had prepared all of this and had to muster up her courage.
Who would have thought that Yu Zhou would ultimately refuse?
Even though she had thought that Yu Zhou might refuse her beforehand, her current disappointment was still evident on her face.
Fortunately, Yu Zhou only said that and then left in a hurry, not leaving them too much awkward time.
"I'll leave now, and let's just pretend this never happened!"
Yu Zhou was also finding it difficult, especially at this critical juncture.
He couldn't bring himself to be a hypocrite. And undeniably, his relationship with Song Qing was also something he couldn't discard.
How should I put it? Not to mention his good relationship with his wife, even today, she had only acted out of courage and hadn't forced him.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say this was a rare occurrence.
In such an environment, Yu Zhou even began to ponder how to handle this matter after leaving the house.
Was he going to call off their collaboration just because of today's incident?
Clearly, even if Yu Zhou was willing, he believed the Song family would definitely not agree. That would be purely asking for trouble.
But if they were to pretend it never happened, Yu Zhou dared not even think about it further.
After all, the situation had already escalated to this point. If they truly pretended it never happened, could their relationship remain as it was before?
Clearly, he couldn't even convince himself of such a scenario.
In his own thoughts, since this had already happened, it must be faced correctly, even if this confrontation would lead to a very awkward situation between them.
But if they just let it slide without mentioning it, Yu Zhou's inner conscience wouldn't be at peace.
You could say he was distressed, or that he was simply stubborn, but this was still his conviction, a conviction that made him feel somewhat helpless.
Upon returning home, Yu Zhou's mood was clearly not good.
Even when Jiang Jie asked him what was wrong, Yu Zhou didn't say anything.
It wasn't that he had decided not to tell Jiang Jie now, but rather that, at present, this matter would be a blow to the heavily pregnant Jiang Jie.
After all, if the truth were told, their relationship was already very good, and in such circumstances, Song Qing would create such a situation.
Anyone else would find it difficult to accept, wouldn't they?
Not to mention Jiang Jie, who was already a sensitive person.
Jiang Jie, on the other hand, didn't overthink it. In her mind, it was just about business matters. Yu Zhou had been like this before when he was tired.
However, Yu Huai, who was still living at home, frowned upon seeing Yu Zhou in this state.
Clearly, he knew that Yu Zhou was not easily fooled.
Especially after seeing his expression, he knew that this matter was not simple.
So, he found an excuse to approach Yu Zhou and then coaxed Yu Zhou out.
Clearly, he could see that Yu Zhou had something troubling him that needed to be shared.
Fortunately, it wasn't too late. The two of them, one with a cigarette dangling from his lips, walked along the street.
"What's going on? I can see you're not yourself today!"
Yu Huai spoke first. Having grown up together, he knew his younger brother's emotions very well.
