CHAPTER 628: 【622】ORPHAN’S COUNTERATTACK 91 (1ST UPDATE)

Even though he had his reasons, Zhou Yiyi still felt like being unreasonable. With tears in her eyes, she turned around, wiping her tears blatantly.

This small gesture deeply hurt Zhou Mo. He knelt at the edge of the bed and tried to grasp her, but she pushed him away with her arm.

Zhou Mo simply took off his shoes and pinned her down, burying his head in her bosom, and apologized with the gentlest voice.

"I’m sorry, I was wrong. I have come back. From now on, let’s never part, okay? Let’s get married, shall we?"

As Zhou Mo said this, he suddenly rose from her body, stumbled, and ran out. Just a moment before, Zhou Yiyi had been immersed in his tenderness, but the next moment, the warmth disappeared, leaving her arms cold and her heart suddenly sour. However, when she saw him running back holding a bunch of gifts, her tears spilled over again.

Zhou Mo pushed all the gifts in front of her, "Look, a diamond ring, necklace, bracelet, earrings, I’ve bought them all. I am truly serious about marrying you, Yiyi. Can you forgive me, please? I’ve bought these items over the years but never found the right moment to give them to you."

All the items were perfectly wrapped, extremely exquisite, with not only certificates inside but also receipts dated from 2007, three years ago.

Yiyi didn’t think she was easy to fool, but sometimes women’s demands are very low. She just wanted someone’s arm to lean on, a man who could give her a sense of security. She left Columbia in a huff because he had neglected her for too long. But now, seeing these gifts, she realized that he, too, had his helpless moments, and at least now he loved her, didn’t he?

Yiyi cried, this time moved to tears, as Zhou Mo tenderly wiped them away with the fingertips that had calluses from typing.

"I’m sorry for making my Princess suffer. Look, I’m back now, and I’ll stay in Beijing, not going anywhere else,"

"So you promise you won’t leave me alone for a whole week again? Money can’t be earned endlessly, but what about our affection? Do you expect me to just waste away waiting?"

Zhou Mo smiled, "What if I return to Tsinghua to teach, would that be okay?"

Yiyi suddenly lifted her head in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"You heard right. I said I’d go teach at Tsinghua. The country has nurtured me for so many years; it’s only natural that I should give back and help cultivate more outstanding graduates. I’ve spent so many years researching abroad, which top university didn’t I visit? Which company didn’t want to hire me with a high salary? But what do I need so much money for? You’re right, money can’t be earned endlessly, but affection can’t withstand waiting. So, as difficult as it was, I still came back. I think with our current capabilities, we could lead a sweet and beautiful life. Why bother fussing over anything else? You be a teacher, and I’ll be a professor, and we can live our whole lives in the memories from our youth, how does that sound?"

Overwhelmed, Yiyi couldn’t find the words, her tears kept flowing, "I thought, even if you came back, you’d choose a place where you’re needed more,"

"Indeed, with my current achievements, departments like aerospace information, military information, national security, they all want me. But I want to stay by your side, to protect you. As for those places, I might help out occasionally, but I won’t stay there forever. I hope this plan is fine with my future wife?"

Yiyi immediately jumped onto Zhou Mo like a koala, and Zhou Mo caught her around the waist, laughing with a hint of bitterness.

"So in my wife’s eyes, these diamond rings are even less important than my career choices?"

Yiyi passionately offered her lips, "You said it, don’t back out now. If you do, I might just divorce you."

Zhou Mo, held his beloved in his arms, couldn’t resist any longer, "If you keep provoking me like this, I might just marry you right now."

Yiyi affectionately rubbed her face against his, "Come on, who’s afraid? I’ve kept my purity for you for 23 years, it’s about time I handed it over to you!"

Zhou Mo’s eyes deepened in an instant, "Are you sure?"

Yiyi lay down on the bed and seductively crooked her finger towards him, "Come on, give it to me!"

How could Zhou Mo hold back anymore?

In an instant, like a hungry wolf, he pounced on his beauty...

***

The next day, Yiyi definitely woke up because she was hungry. When she opened her eyes, the warm sunlight shone on her pink duvet. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and slowly sat up, stretching lazily. However, because she moved too much, she touched a sore spot below and immediately grimaced in pain. She froze for a moment, lifted the covers to see, and her bare, beautiful legs glistened. She abruptly turned over, but the side was already cold, with only his discarded pajamas telling her it wasn’t a dream.

Yiyi frantically put on her pajamas and ran out to see a shadow moving faintly in the kitchen. She leaned against the white wall and peered out, seeing him busy in the kitchen wearing his cute Doraemon apron. The delicious scent wasn’t just in her dreams, it was clearly coming from the kitchen. Tears blurred her vision; she had waited for this day for so many years.

Noticing her presence, he opened the door to find the little woman covering her nose with her pajamas, silently shedding tears.

He sighed helplessly and immediately picked her up. Yiyi wrapped her arms around his neck, legs around his waist, and they both sat on the sofa. He playfully scraped her nose, "Why are you crying again?"

"Who’s crying? What delicious things did you make?"

"I made multigrain soy milk, fried potato pancakes, and sandwiches. Are you hungry? If you are, go wash up quickly, and I’ll serve you."

Yiyi looked at him steadily, still feeling a bit unreal. She touched his face, pinched his ear, admiring his sharply defined features, and found it increasingly difficult to take her eyes off this handsome man.

"How are you feeling? Is it any better? I put some medicine on you last night; I don’t know if it helped."

Yiyi’s eyes instantly widened, "What are you saying? Medicine? Where did you get medicine?"

Zhou Mo pinched her cheek with mixed emotions.

"What are you thinking about? Just erythromycin is fine. What sort of person do you think I am, to bring ill-intentioned medicine back to the country?"

Blushing, Yiyi spat at him and threw out a line, "You filthy rogue," before hastily fleeing to the bathroom.

Zhou Mo watched her leaving figure, a genuine smile spreading across his lips.
