Transmigrated as the Ex-Wife of a Heroic Man Chapter 1141: Unless I Die

Chapter 1141: Chapter 1141: Unless I Die

“Heh heh! Look for another man? Only over my dead body.”

Ji Fang shuddered slightly, thinking to himself that the Deputy Director was being unreasonable and seemed utterly ruthless.

Like a big villain.

In TV dramas, usually called the arch-nemesis.

“Book my return flight. I need to go back immediately.”

“Yes!”

Ji Fang ran off in a hurry, not wanting to stay another minute, nor daring to think about how many people would go mad if the Deputy Director suddenly left.

In the vast suite, Zhou Hengguang sat quietly on the sofa alone, not knowing how long it had been; the snowflakes outside the window had turned from light flurries into large, feather-like flakes. Soon, everything turned white.

Zhou Hengguang’s tense body gradually relaxed, his stiff back reclining into the sofa, sinking his entire body into the soft cushions. His silk robe fell open, revealing a large expanse of pale, well-defined skin on his chest.

The exquisitely perfect collarbones, like dazzling pearls, attracted all gazes, making one’s breath quicken and mouth go dry with just one glance.

Zhou Hengguang’s eyes were downcast, his thick, curled lashes casting a small shadow on the position of his eye sockets, making his eyes look even more profound.

At that moment, his heart was in turmoil, and gradually his breathing became erratic.

Because he thought of Qingqing.

This past month, whenever he thought of her, his heart would involuntarily race, and his breathing would become erratic.

Even in the deep silence of the night, his body grew increasingly desirous.

This was absolutely impossible before.

It was ludicrous even to think about it.

Initially, he could only scoff in disdain.

Zhou Hengguang was not some young, impulsive boy who couldn’t walk straight at the sight of a woman.

To him, Su Qing was just part of a game, a tool for scheming against his family and getting close to Big Brother. If he was in a good mood and the tool performed well, he was willing to dote on it.

After all, he was always generous with money and att.i.tude, which he could readily display.

So at first, he didn’t care or worry about the problems that might arise if discovered.

Those were not problems for him at all.

But later… the development took him by surprise.

The first time they met, everything about Su Qing was different from what he had expected.

Completely different.

The real Su Qing was prettier than he had imagined, sensible, polite, diligent, considerate… There were many merits he could list, but these were not what attracted him the most. Beneath all these merits what drew him in was her secretly harbored inferiority, vulnerability, stubbornness, tenacity, and pride.

She lived her life striving and optimistic, yet fearful of loss, caring too much.

The more he understood, the more he discovered the contradictions in her personality; those contradictions were like a mysterious puzzle, drawing him in.

Making him want to understand more.

But all of this was within Zhou Hengguang’s control; he was a man with excellent self-control.

This was a basic skill for the men of the Zhou family, cultivated from a young age.

Big Brother, Second Brother, and his Uncle, all performed it exceptionally well, even that cold-hearted old man at home managed to do it well. Otherwise, the eldest son, acting as a live-in son-in-law, deeply infuriated yet always silent, would have caused a scene if it were anyone else.

So, as a member of the Zhou family, Zhou Hengguang performed no less excellently.

But all his self-control fell apart from that kiss, which he couldn’t forget and replayed countless times in his mind.
