Chapter 1176: Chapter 1176: Have a Drink

“I’m very calm, you can let go now.”

Zhou Hengguang’s lips curved into a playful smile, and he indeed released his grip.

Su Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, taking a step back, but she was still trapped between the office desk and the corner of the wall. She had never felt the space so cramped before, and now it seemed so small that she had to breathe carefully.

“It’s good that you’re not chasing me away.” Zhou Hengguang sat down across the desk with a cheery smile, resting his chin on one hand as he took an interest in observing Su Qing, whose eyes were blazing.

“You are my brother-in-law’s brother, and as a relative, I won’t chase you away.” After the initial panic, Su Qing managed to calm herself. She had long decided to forget Lin Weiguo, the person she once knew, and to start everything anew.

If she forgot him, she wouldn’t like him; if she didn’t like him, she wouldn’t be sad.

Since the two families were relatives, it was not a solution to always run away; if she couldn’t avoid it, she had to confront it.

“However, it’s not quite appropriate for you to come to the studio this late.” Su Qing said matter-of-factly, “If you have urgent business with my brother-in-law, you may go to my house, he is at home.”

“I’m not looking for your brother-in-law, I’m looking for you.”

Su Qing choked, took a deep breath, “I’m not familiar with you, and honestly, I can’t think of any reason you’d have to see me. Although the two families are relatives, in the end, my brother-in-law is the Su family’s live-in son-in-law, and we haven’t officially recognized each other as relatives. We can hardly be considered relatives unless my big sister acknowledges it.”

Having said that, she gave Zhou Hengguang a cold laugh, “Until my big sister has her say, your Zhou family isn’t really a relative of our Su family. It would make more sense for you to look for my brother-in-law or my sister than me.”

In a few words, she had cleanly disentangled their relationship.

“I know.”

Zhou Hengguang kept his gaze fixed on Su Qing, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became, and the more he looked, the more he liked her. His Qingqing had changed in ways more to his liking after more than half a month.

Su Qing was speechless: “…”

What do you mean ‘I know’? What do you know?

She had discovered that the praises little sister lavished on Zhou Hengguang were all fake, only those from big sister were true.

Since he was acting this way, she decided not to speak either.

Neither of them spoke; Su Qing simply continued with her work, finishing up the tasks she hadn’t completed. Thinking this way, she no longer felt awkward. The busier she got, the more engrossed she became, gradually forgetting about the presence of another person in the office.

Who knows how long had passed when the person across finally spoke.

“Almost forgot, there’s food.” Zhou Hengguang took out the food he had brought with him. There were more than a dozen meal boxes, and by the packaging alone, it was clear they were exquisite. Opening the lids, the aroma of the soup dumplings was tantalizing.

Besides two large portions of soup dumplings, there were tea eggs, shrimp dumplings, various marinated delicacies, chicken feet, wing tips, boneless duck feet, and so on. Each type was neatly packed in its own meal box, and there was a complete set of chopsticks and gloves as well.

It was obviously food for two people.

Apart from that, there was even beer.

Su Qing glanced at the beer. In such cold weather, he still wanted to drink beer? Wasn’t he sick and hospitalized just yesterday?

Thinking of the hospitalization, Su Qing realized that this person should still be ill, paying extra attention to his attire. A pure white down jacket, coupled with a high-necked cashmere sweater, looked like a delightful little bread so soft it made one want to take a bite.

His dark hair was slightly disheveled but not sloppy; even the disheveled look was just right. Champagne-colored metal frames with tea-colored lenses sat atop his prominent nose bridge, making his already deep and narrow eyes appear even more dark and intense, his handsome features striking and three-dimensional.
