Transmigrated as the Ex-Wife of a Heroic Man Chapter 1372: The Knot in the Heart

Chapter 1372: Chapter 1372: The Knot in the Heart

“It’s my fault, all my fault.” Liu Qiang was never at a loss for words. Without waiting to be asked, he dashed into the kitchen and exclaimed, “Wow! So much delicious food.”

“Do they starve you at the factory or what?” Zhou Hengyang kicked him disapprovingly, “Almost every restaurant in the province has turned into our Changhe’s canteen.”

With a grin, Liu Qiang twisted the knife, “Tell me about it. Just before the new year, the finance department complained to me, saying all the restaurant bills came under his name.”

“None under yours?”

“I’m discussing business, entertaining, for the sake of the deal I’ve even put my health on the line.”

“So have I.”

Both being from the sales department, their conversation quickly drifted to sales.

“Alright, time to wash up and eat.” Zhou Hengyang, exhibiting the mannerisms of a male host, called everyone to the table and then realized his brother wasn’t there. Zhou Hengguang hadn’t joined in the card game earlier. After searching around, he found Zhou Hengguang standing alone by the pool in the yard, lost in thought.

“Hengguang? Time to eat.”

“I’ll pa.s.s on eating, I have something to attend to, I’m leaving now.”

“You’re leaving now? What’s so urgent?” Zhou Hengyang’s brows furrowed as he grabbed his brother’s arm and felt his forehead. It was cool, probably from being in the cold wind for too long.

“Family matters.” Zhou Hengguang b.u.t.toned up his coat and asked with a half-smile, “Are you going back?”

Zhou Hengyang’s expression hardened, and he said nothing.

“Big Brother, I really envy you, I truly do.” Zhou Hengguang patted his brother’s shoulder, “Yi’s car is already running. I’m off, please tell my sister-in-law for me. When the child is born, I’ll certainly come back.”

“Wait…”

“What is it?”

“Does this project really need that much time?” Zhou Hengyang remembered that his brother was involved in many designs, but because of his efficiency and his privileges, he usually just had to solve the problems others couldn’t.

“This time I’m the chief designer.” Zhou Hengguang spread his hands in resignation, “Can’t help it, and this project does indeed make history.”

“Chief designer of a history-making project.” Something struck a chord in Zhou Hengyang, and he tensed up, articulating every word with sharp and fierce eyes, “Making history again, and the overall person in charge!”

“Does it feel familiar?” Facing Zhou Hengyang’s fierce gaze, Zhou Hengguang actually laughed. If only his face wasn’t so pale, it would look better. “Isn’t it peculiar? Maybe it’s the destiny of Zhou family men.”

After saying this, he hesitated no more and turned to leave, but Zhou Hengyang grabbed him again.

“Don’t go, Hengguang, don’t go,” Zhou Hengyang said with his handsome face pale, even fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, “I don’t want you to go.”

“Big Brother, you’re thinking too much. It’s just a normal project, what are you nervous about?” Zhou Hengguang replied with a resigned chuckle.

“No, it’s not that.”

“I’m not like Second Brother. Besides, this is my mission, my job.”

“You’re not the one who’s supposed to be responsible.” Zhou Hengyang suddenly yelled, emotional, “To h.e.l.l with the mission, do you need to bear it? Haven’t you always done as you pleased since you were little? Go out and have fun now; whether you bully someone or cause trouble, I’ll clean up your mess. You don’t have to be responsible, why should you bear a mission?”

“It’s not just me.” Zhou Hengguang slowly wrestled his hand free from Zhou Hengyang, then suddenly flashed an irreverent smile, blinking at his brother from behind his spectacles, “I’m just going to mess around. Those problems are nothing for me and Yi.”

“Alright, I’m off, I’ll be back before you know it.”

This time, Zhou Hengguang truly left, waving goodbye to his brother at the front door as he went.
