Chapter 823: I Want to Date You

Clarice watched as Zhuang Long walked past her and the group left happily.

Clarice turned around and looked at the person’s smiling face. Her heart suddenly ached, as if it had been pulled away with her bare hands.

She knew that Zhuang Long had two personalities, and she knew that the other personality did not remember her. Before she came to see him, Clarice was already mentally prepared. However, the scene in her imagination really happened, and it gave Clarice a blow that caught her off guard. Clarice rubbed her heart, which hurt a little.

Clarice almost cried.

She carried the box and left quickly. Zhuang Long was talking to his friend when someone suddenly bumped his shoulder. He staggered forward, and the girl who bumped into him had already run away quickly.

Zhuang Long glared at the girl’s back and was a little angry. He even scolded, “Don’t you know how to apologize!”

The girl suddenly stopped and turned around to glare at him.

Zhuang Long was speechless.

…

When Clarice returned to New York, the first thing she did was turn on her computer and send Zhuang Long an email.

The contents of the email were as follows—

Their friendship was over.

On Zhuang Long’s 18th birthday, he drank too much and got into a moderate car accident when he drove home as a friend. Zhuang Long’s head hit the glass and he fainted. When he woke up again, he was already a second personality.

Zhuang Long and his group of friends were dragged to the hospital by an ambulance. He had a few stitches in his arm. He left the hospital late at night and took a taxi home himself. When he got home, Zhuang Long stared at the mirror and realized that he had grown up. The eighteen-year-old young man had completely grown up. When he faced the mirror and pursed his lips, he looked a little serious and his gaze was malicious.

Zhuang Long lay in bed for more than an hour before everything that had happened in the past few years was sorted out. He searched his memory and found out that Clarice had come to the medical school to look for him. Zhuang Long frowned and did not know why Clarice had come to look for him.

He opened his email and saw three emails.

He looked up from the bottom.

The first document was as follows—

Their friendship was over.

The second letter—

Julia is finally 18 years old today and is very happy that she has survived this day. I hope that she will live another 28, 38, 48 years…

The third email was three hours ago—

Happy birthday, Ah Long.

Staring at the last email, Zhuang Long suddenly had the urge to see Clarice. Without a word, he picked up his identification documents and wallet and went straight to the airport. Before dawn, the plane soared into the sky. Above the clouds, he saw the sunrise. Under the sunlight, the clouds became dreamy.

Only then did Zhuang Long realize.

Just because the other party said happy birthday, he could not wait to fly to New York. Was he too impulsive?

Clarice woke up in the morning and logged into her email on her phone. When she didn’t see Zhuang Long’s reply, her mood turned bad. She hadn’t seen Zhuang Long in a long time and missed him. Clarice ate breakfast and received a call from Julia.

“You didn’t go home last night.” Clarice sounded cold and angry.

There was silence on Julia’s end.

Clarice sneered and asked her, “What exactly do you want to do!”

Only then did Julia speak. “I plan to marry him, Clarice,” she said.

“You’re crazy!”

Clarice threw away the spoon in her hand and looked upset.

“Julia, do you know what you’re doing?”

“I love him, Clarice. I love him.”

Clarice couldn’t speak. She was trembling, and it was impossible to tell if she was angry or angry. Clarice said, “I don’t know how long I have left. I hope that before I die, the man I love will be with me, not a man in his forties who has no feelings for me. Everything is fine, Clarice. I will never love anyone else the way I love him.”

“Chris, help me.”

“I can’t help you, Julia.” Clarice felt powerless. “You know, even I can’t.”

How could Julia not understand this logic?

“I understand.”

She suddenly hung up.

Clarice held the phone that had been cut off and felt uneasy. She felt that something was wrong with Julia.

It was a little cold in the fall, and Clarice was wearing a windbreaker. The bodyguard opened the car door, and Clarice was about to get in when she suddenly looked up at the small park outside her house as if she had sensed something. Under a banyan tree in the park stood a young man in a black shirt, making his figure look handsome.

His black hair was short and he looked handsome. He looked at her, and there was a deeper meaning in his seemingly indifferent eyes that she could not understand.

Clarice froze.

She quietly got into the car and the bodyguard sat in the front passenger seat.

As the car drove away, Clarice shook her finger outside the window.

Clarice arrived at the company and parked her car on the first floor of the basement. There were no cars around her exclusive parking space, and it looked a little empty. The bodyguard pressed the button for the elevator to open. Clarice stood outside the door and waited. The door opened and she walked in.

The moment the door was about to close, a hand suddenly landed between the closed elevator door.

The bodyguard suddenly pulled out his gun and pointed it at the door warily.

Clarice did not stop him. She watched as the elevator door opened again. Outside the door, the young man’s figure gradually became clear. Clarice quietly stared at the person outside the door without saying a word. Zhuang Long’s gaze had been deliberately suppressed by him, so it did not seem as passionate and perverted.

He said to the person inside, “Let’s talk?”

Clarice’s expression did not change. She looked cold and unreasonable.

Upon hearing this, she asked him in a flat tone, “About what?”

Zhuang Long was silent for a long time. Just as Clarice’s patience was about to run out, Zhuang Long spoke.

“I want to date you.”

In the elevator, Kevin and the other bodyguard were so frightened by this answer that they almost lost their grip on their guns.

Clarice was stunned for a moment. Then, her cold face lit up like a spring breeze after winter. “Come in.” Clarice took a small step to the side. Zhuang Long did not hesitate and walked in.

Kevin and the rest put away their guns.

This person might be their future master, so it was better to be respectful.

Clarice had a meeting at nine in the morning. The moment she arrived at the office, she said, “I have a meeting at nine. I won’t be able to finish dating in an hour. I’ll talk to you when I come back from the meeting.”

Zhuang Long nodded obediently and sat down on the sofa.

He casually found a book to read. Even though he could not understand it, he read it very seriously. Hence, this morning, the company’s manager, vice president, and higher-ups realized that the usually serious and unreasonable CEO Clarice seemed to be in a good mood today.
