"I don't mind. The only reason I was engaged to you when I was young was because you belonged to a collateral branch of the family and your talent was found to be extremely poor. Now that your talent is so strong, I, a young lady from a ninth-rate family, should have the self-awareness not to aim too high."
"Heh, in my eyes, whether it's a ninth-rate family or a first-rate family, they are all the same, with no distinction between high and low."
"How can they be the same?" Changsun Qinghe smiled faintly.
"Since that's the case, it can be considered that we had some fate. If I were to publicly break off the engagement, it wouldn't be my style. Then I will, accept this engagement. Go back and tell your family that I, Zhou Hong, acknowledge you as my fiancée, and I will visit your family and your parents in a few days," Zhou Hong said with a sigh.
Changsun Qinghe looked up at Zhou Hong, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Are you serious?" Changsun Qinghe asked.
"Heh, it's a small matter, no need for pretense. From today onwards, I will announce to the public that you are my fiancée, Zhou Hong, and your family can announce it too."
"But, you love Xiaoyu, and she hasn't been found yet. How can I be your fiancée? If she finds out, how heartbroken will she be? You should still go to my family to break off the engagement." Changsun Qinghe quickly shook her head.
Zhou Hong chuckled.
"Since she chose to leave, let her go."
Zhou Hong was too lazy to think so much. He couldn't remain single forever because of Qiao Xiaoyu.
If Qiao Xiaoyu returns in the future, and is willing, he can take her as a concubine. It's just a pity that she originally had the opportunity to be the main wife, but now she can only be a concubine.
"But...!" Changsun Qinghe wanted to say more, but at this moment, Zhou Hong immediately pulled her over and hugged her.
"Ah!" Changsun Qinghe instantly felt a wave of weakness throughout her body.
Zhou Hong was also inexplicably ignited, his body starting to burn.
Perhaps, Zhou Hong had been holding back for these few months.
"Zhou Hong, what are you doing?" Changsun Qinghe asked nervously as Zhou Hong's hands fumbled all over her body.
"Since you are already my fiancée, you can do whatever you want from now on."
"This is an office!"
"Hahaha, a passionate moment in the office is also not bad." Zhou Hong laughed and immediately pushed Changsun Qinghe onto the sofa.
Ten thousand words omitted here.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Hong let out a breath, feeling incredibly satisfied.
Changsun Qinghe's face was full of shyness, as if she dared not meet Zhou Hong's eyes. She found it hard to believe that she had done such a thing with Zhou Hong in the office. This was her first time. However, recalling it, it was truly indescribable. Her heart felt a touch of sweetness, but also a tinge of guilt.
"Qinghe, you don't blame me, do you? I was too hasty," Zhou Hong said with shame after calming down. Perhaps another reason for his haste in acknowledging Changsun Qinghe's status as his fiancée was physical. To put it simply, he was overcome by lust.
"Of course not. It's just, are you really not going to look for Qiao Xiaoyu anymore?" Changsun Qinghe asked with bitterness.
"No more searching. When the time comes, she will naturally return. Everyone has their own destiny and opportunities. Perhaps my fate with her has temporarily come to an end."
"Then what if she comes back later?"
"If she returns and is willing, then let her be a concubine. You won't mind, will you?" Su Dan Novel Network
"Of course not. However, she was your first girlfriend. Even if she's a concubine, shouldn't I be the one?"
"Haha, who told her to run away," Zhou Hong laughed heartily.
After laughing, Zhou Hong felt that it was still not enough and leaned down again.
"Ah!" Changsun Qinghe cried out again, shocked in her heart. Zhou Hong still wanted more.
Thus, several hours passed, back and forth.
Time also reached noon.
"Captain, we're off work. My teammates and I are going to eat," Liu Xiaowei's voice came from the doorway.
"You guys go, don't worry about me."
"Yes, Captain." Liu Xiaowei and the others then left one after another.
Zhou Hong also put on his clothes.
Changsun Qinghe lay limply on the sofa, seemingly too tired to even put on her clothes. Zhou Hong had to help her put them on, and looking at her graceful figure, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Let's go, we're off work too. We didn't do anything this morning except for this one thing."
"How can you still say that." Changsun Qinghe glared at Zhou Hong with a blushing face.
"Hahaha, the office indeed has a unique charm. We'll do this again in the future." Zhou Hong said with a hearty laugh.
"I'd rather not. I'm afraid your subordinates have been suspicious all morning. It's only natural for them to be suspicious if the two of us were in the office for so long."
"Let them be suspicious. Love between men and women is a natural human emotion," Zhou Hong said indifferently.
Zhou Hong and Changsun Qinghe walked out of the office hand in hand.
"Where are you guys eating lunch?" Zhou Hong asked.
"There's a cafeteria in the Criminal Investigation Bureau. We all eat in the cafeteria at noon. We only go home after work in the evening."
"Oh, then let's go to the cafeteria," Zhou Hong nodded and said.
"Okay." Changsun Qinghe, being held by Zhou Hong's hand, felt very shy. She wondered what everyone in the cafeteria would think when they saw them.
Indeed, when the two of them entered the cafeteria, many people who were eating inside had their expressions change.
For the past few days, all the team members of the Criminal Investigation Bureau had been discussing who the new beautiful newcomer, Changsun Qinghe, would end up with. However, they never expected to see her walking into the cafeteria hand in hand with an unfamiliar man.
Instantly, the entire cafeteria erupted.
Zhou Hong was not well-known in the capital, so very few people recognized him.
"Holy crap, who is that guy?"
"What is he, to be holding the hand of the most beautiful woman?"
All of a sudden, many people started shouting, and some even slammed their tables. Because Changsun Qinghe came from a ninth-rate family and her own strength was not strong, even the most lowly members of the Criminal Investigation Bureau dared to fantasize about Changsun Qinghe. Seeing Changsun Qinghe being held by the hand at this moment, those who had once fantasized about having Changsun Qinghe could not bear it.
Just then, an experienced female team member suddenly shouted, "Everyone, look quickly, Changsun Qinghe... she must have been... defiled this morning."
Hearing the female team member's words, everyone suddenly looked at Changsun Qinghe. As expected, although Changsun Qinghe was trying her best to control it, her posture while walking was extremely abnormal. If no one had pointed it out, perhaps people wouldn't have been suspicious, but after being reminded by an experienced woman, everyone suddenly realized.
