Avoid the Protagonist! - Chapter 290

Ch.290 He Wanted Her (3)

When the two saw that Xin Siyue and Zhong Qin were getting ready to head back, the two then showed up.

Zhong Qin wanted to tease the couple when she turned to see Zhuang Zhao standing behind Chen Sinan.

Zhuang Zhao was wearing a black short-sleeve shirt, and he was looking at herself with bright eyes.

Zhong Qin thought that this was a terrible feeling. Therefore, she hurriedly said to Xin Siyue, “Siyue, since someone is picking you up, I’ll be going now.”

“Oh, okay.” Xin Siyue naturally understood.

However, the moment she just left, Zhuang Zhao hurriedly followed behind. Xin Siyue couldn’t help but call, “Zhuang Zhao!”

Zhuang Zhao turned and hurriedly said, “Sister-in-law, I’ll treat you out for food next time when I have time!”

Xin Siyue was speechless.

While holding Xin Siyue’s things in one hand, Chen Sinan held her hands in another. While walking, he said, “Just let them handle their matter. Let’s not intervene.”

Xin Siyue recalled back to Zhong Qin’s words, and still felt worried.

After Zhuang Zhao chased after Zhong Qin, he stopped her. “Wait! Let me take you home!”

“Thanks, but there’s no need. I drove here.”

“Then you can take me.”

Zhong Qin lowered her head and looked for her wallet in her bag.

Zhuang Zhao was confused. “What are you doing?”

Zhong Qin took out two hundred dollars from her wallet and shoved it in Zhuang Zhao’s hands. “Here, go hail a taxi.”

Zhuang Zhao’s face immediately darkened.

Zhong Qin was too lazy to look at him. She grabbed her car keys and decided to pick up her car in the parking lot.

Zhuang Zhao grabbed her hands and said overbearingly, “Let’s talk.”

“There’s nothing to talk about.”

“It’s fine if you don’t want to talk, but believe me or not, I’ll kiss you here!”

“Zhuang Zhao, is there something wrong with you?”

“Do you want to try me?” His tone made Zhong Qin angry. “Okay! Let’s talk! Let’s talk somewhere else!” She didn’t want people’s attention on her while they were talking.

“Fine! Let’s talk in your car.”

Zhong Qin took in a deep breath, and told herself that it’d be over after she made it clear with him.

When they got in the car, Zhong Qin looked ahead and said, “I believe I don’t have much of a charm. Plus, you don’t fit the criteria for my other half. You don’t fit it at all.”

“The criteria for your other half?” Zhuang Zhao chuckled when he heard this. “We’re not young anymore. You’re acting like a young girl with a dream guy?”

Zhong Qin sighed. “This is the difference between you and me. We are unable to communicate normally. We’re impossible. If we’re just dating, then that’s fine. But we’re not suitable for marriage. My parents are honest and steady workers. I have an ordinary family too. Yet, you’re a wealthy second generation. My parents will definitely disagree. I know that it’s better to marry someone of the same background.”

Seeing that Zhuang Zhao was about to retort, Zhong Qin hurriedly said, “Let me finish talking! Plus, even if we’re not getting married and just dating purely, I’m not interested nor do I have the energy to. You know that we’re not young anymore. If we break up in the future and I didn’t have much feelings for you, then that’d be fine. But if I really give my heart to you, I won’t have the energy to start a new relationship from scratch. Zhuang Zhao, I’m not as fearless as you. I don’t have the energy to put myself through all this work.”

Zhuang Zhao was silent for a few seconds and said with certainty, “In the end, you’re just afraid of falling in love with me. You just can’t afford to lose, right!”

“Right, I’m just afraid.” Zhong Qin laughed softly. “Are you sure you’re just not interested in me on a whim? Do you really plan to get married with me after pursuing me, and then live a steady life with me? Zhuang Zhao, I’m not stupid. How long has it been since we knew each other? It’s unbelievable that a playboy like you would fall in love with me at first sight. You might encounter another woman that interests you even more in a bit. By then, you’d forget about me. Therefore, don’t talk to me about being in a relationship. I refuse. Please don’t pester me in the future as well. I don’t want anything to do with you.”

Zhuang Zhao noticed that she was really worthy of being a host. She has a way with words. He couldn’t even find a way to retort.

“Okay! Since you’ve already said it to this point, then I’d be the one lowering my status if I keep pestering you! I can have any woman I want! Who are you?!”

“Okay, remember your words.”

After Zhuang Zhao was ruthlessly kicked off the car, he almost wanted to smash her car. However, with the last dignity he had, he angrily left.
