night fades

"Mr. Zhou, I've admired you for a long time." She looked at him generously, took off her sunglasses, and cast her sharp eyes directly on his face.

"I'm sorry, you've been waiting for a long time. I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't have time to prepare, so I just had lunch. I hope you understand." Zhou Ning'an came back to his senses, and greeted him politely in a business-like tone.

"Of course, I came here this time mainly to discuss cooperation. I came here in a hurry, so you don't mind." Song Yan spoke very directly, but she was not rude.

The two ordered something to eat casually. She looked at Zhou Ning'an, and after a while, she said slowly, "I don't know what Mr. Zhou thinks about our cooperation?"

"The strategic cooperation, of course, I hope it can go smoothly. This will benefit both of us. As for the cooperation method, you probably have an idea?" Zhou Ning'an took a sip of coffee, and his mind always wandered to other places from time to time.

"Of course, I came here because I had an idea." Song Yan slightly parted her lips, and slowly said two words, "Get married."

Zhou Ning'an was scalded by the coffee. He frowned and swallowed it forcefully. His tongue hurt a little, and he couldn't taste the coffee.

"Are you joking?" Zhou Ning'an looked into her eyes and asked slowly.

"No, I never joke about business. Mr. Zhou, think about it carefully, we are both good candidates for each other." Song Yan paused, "At least, I know how to cooperate better than other women .”

Zhou Ning'an was taken aback, he knew that Song Yan was not joking, and Song Yan was right, she was indeed a very good partner.

After talking with Song Yan, Zhou Ning'an stayed in the office thinking about her proposal, and his head started to hurt from thinking about it. When he looked up, he found that the lights were on outside the window and it was dark.He picked up the phone and asked the driver to prepare the car. He was going to wait for Lin Ye to get off work in the night. He needed to see Lin Ye, immediately, immediately, even just for a glance, otherwise his heart might stop beating.

"I'm at this age, and you are at this age. Although you may not be interested in women at all, it's not true that a family like yours really doesn't plan to get married, right?"

"To be honest, it might be better if you don't like women. There are fewer gossips, so I can feel more at ease. With me here, you can also reduce a lot of pressure, and it's quite face-saving, isn't it?"

"Our cooperation is long-term. Is there any longer-term contract than marriage?"

Zhou Ning'an heard her list many advantages and disadvantages, and silently calculated in her heart that Song Yan is indeed a good partner in business, and as a wife, she can maximize all her advantages.

"I have a question," Zhou Ningan stood up after listening, and asked his only doubt, "marriage, family, what do you mean to you?"

Song Yan looked at him, paused for a while, and replied clearly: "Son. I need an heir. A child with marriage guarantee. His father doesn't have to love me, but he must be worthy of my trust. This is what marriage does to me. It’s meaningful to me. As for how to conceive him, there are many ways now. If I need love, I can go directly to a few young models, and their feelings are much easier to get than what we talked about.”

"Really, I didn't even know that there are more things that can be bought and sold in the world than I imagined." Zhou Ning'an said lightly.

"Of course, they do what I say they want to do. Isn't it easier to control than the so-called love? Anyway, in the final analysis, love is just an illusion created by human beings. Its real name is hormones. Why, don't you A romantic?"

Zhou Ning'an smiled wryly and shook his head, "I'm not romantic, I just really don't understand."

He didn't understand why these people could live so coldly for granted?

Before he could change out of his formal suit, Zhou Ning'an broke into the night with such loneliness.Most of the people in the night knew who he was, and the relationship between him and Lin Ye had been rumored to some extent. Even if they didn't know him, they didn't dare to approach him rashly when they saw his cold and noble aura.

Lin Ye had just delivered wine for someone, and when he got downstairs, he saw Zhou Ning'an leaning quietly against the bar with a slightly melancholy side face, which didn't fit in with the atmosphere of the nightclub.Looking across the noisy crowd on the dance floor, the whole person seems to be covered in a glass cover, exquisite, expensive, and ordinary people should not get close.Lin Ye looked down at himself, an absolute mortal.

Lin Ye suddenly remembered that since the first time they met, he hadn't looked at Zhou Ning'an that much. The angle he saw Zhou Ning'an was in his kitchen, by the dining table, in the living room, and even on the bed.They never appeared together in a world where there were other people, but from this perspective, it seemed more objective.

In the eyes of the world, Zhou Ning'an should be dressed in suits and leather shoes like this, meticulous, noble and distant.

"Boss Zhou." Lin Ye murmured, then lowered his head and sneered.Lin Ye was used to seeing him wandering around the house in his own vest and shorts, so he used this word as a nickname, calling it out but forgetting his original identity.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Ah Wu walked over from behind and patted Lin Ye's shoulder heavily. "Why are you in a daze here, look handsome?"

"What a handsome guy, he's not as good-looking as you." Lin Ye was taken aback by him. When he came back to his senses, he immediately looked away and flirted with Ah Wu.

"It's fine if I'm not as good as you are." Ah Wu said meaningfully, and turned her head to look at Zhou Ning'an one more time.He had already found out what Lin Ye was looking at, and tried something, but he didn't expect Lin Ye to refuse to admit it.

"Are you busy now? Follow me later?" Ah Wu asked with a faint worry in his heart.

"Not busy, why go?" Lin Ye answered casually.

"Don't do anything, just be lazy, I don't have as many customers now as before, won't you comfort me?"

"Comfort me, let's go, I'll go out to smoke a cigarette." Lin Ye said, looking back.Zhou Ning'an was still in the same position, quietly waiting by the bar, ordered a drink, and drank it in small sips.

He must be in a bad mood tonight, Lin Ye thought, although Zhou Ning'an had no expression on his face, he had this intuition.

"Hey, are you telling the truth?"

The back door in the dark is a not-so-wide alley. At the entrance of the alley is a garbage dump, and there is an electric pole standing beside it. When you look up, the sky is cut into a strange and narrow shape by these electric wires. Such a narrow Alley, even the moon will not patronize.This is the most commonly used place for them to be lazy and come out to breathe.

"Tell me the truth?" Lin Ye lit a cigarette, squinted at Ah Wu, and his heart trembled for no reason. He knew that Ah Wu had seen something, but he was not ready to confess, or rather, he was still Not ready to admit it to myself.

"What are you pretending to be? What's going on between you and that Boss Zhou?" Ah Wu looked at him like this, and knew that he had guessed right.

"What else, don't you know, he gave me money, and I'll sleep with him." Lin Ye took a puff of cigarette, exhaled it slowly, and explained their relationship simply and straightforwardly.

"that's it?"

"That's it, what else can I do." Speaking of the word "support", Lin Ye frowned subconsciously. Up to now, they still can only use these two words to describe it.

"Nothing else?" Ah Wu looked at him with a dignified expression.

Seeing his serious expression, Lin Ye sneered twice, waved his hand as if trying to drive away something, then suddenly grinned and asked, "I cook and he eats, does that count?"

"Lin Ye, do you remember what I told you?" Ah Wu felt uncomfortable, both for himself and for Lin Ye, "People like them can't have feelings. Didn't you promise me, Don't you like him?"

"Yes, as I said, I don't like him."
