Chapter 753 A Good Girl "Suitable" for Marriage (1)
Mu Zhou waited for quite a while before returning to the private room.
Qin Zheng remained seated there lazily, casually swirling his wine glass in his hand.
His gaze, as he looked up, was filled with arrogance.
As she got closer to Qin Zheng, she caught a faint smell of tobacco on him.
Mu Zhou frowned subconsciously and stopped in his tracks.
He stopped a meter or so away from Qin Zheng and spoke softly:
"It's almost eight o'clock, I have to go now."
Although she has started working, her family still imposes a curfew on her, requiring her to be home before 9:30 pm for reasons other than work.
As an obedient "good girl," Mu Zhou would naturally comply.
Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng got up without hesitation and grabbed his coat:
"I send you."
He naturally took Mu Zhou's hand and led her away.
The driver drove smoothly.
Mu Zhou finished a long day of internship and was already tired, but now she felt a little sleepy.
She yawned, and her eyes instantly filled with tears.
His red-rimmed eyes made him look somewhat pitiful.
Qin Zheng cupped her cheek in his large hand, his fingertips tracing the moisture welling up at the corners of her eyes, his tone somewhat nonchalant:
"Sleepy?"
Mu Zhou nodded, his voice weary:
"I'm very busy today, I'm working even during my lunch break."
I'm busy from morning till night, with almost no time to stop.
She was so tired that she barely had the strength to speak, but after receiving a call from Qin Zheng after get off work, she still went to the bar.
Qin Zheng rarely saw her show this side of herself.
In the past, no matter how tired she was or how bad her mood was, she always showed a positive and gentle side.
She reassured everyone that they didn't need to worry about her.
So Qin Zheng naturally assumed she was exhausted, and casually said:
“I told you long ago, you should just come to my company after graduation. Why bother going to a foreign company and making things difficult for yourself?”
Given his family background, it would be easy for him to provide Mu Zhou with a job where he could just coast along.
But Mu Zhou shook her head, closed her eyes, leaned back in her seat, and slowly spoke:
"But I like this job."
She works for a foreign company, and although the pace is fast, it makes her feel at ease.
She closed her eyes to rest, clearly not wanting to talk anymore. Qin Zheng wasn't a talkative person either, so he also fell silent.
The car was parked outside the residential area, and Mu Zhou waved to him:
"I'm leaving first, goodbye."
Watching her retreating figure without any hesitation, Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes.
He felt that she was a bit cold towards him today.
She would often spend a long time with him in the car, and she would be very content even if it was just chatting casually.
She had to go home before 9:30.
But it was only nine o'clock, and she got off the bus and left without hesitation.
However, it could also be because she was too tired today.
Qin Zheng didn't think much of it and told the driver to leave.

After saying goodbye to her parents, Mu Zhou went back to her room to wash up, then put on a face mask and lay down.
There was a knock on the door, and Mu Zhou's mother, Ms. Yang, came in.
"Zhouzhou, how's your relationship with that boyfriend you mentioned before? Why don't you pick him back for a meal sometime?"
After the original owner established a romantic relationship with Qin Zheng in her junior year of college, she told her family about it.
Although her family didn't object, they gave her a lot of advice. Now that she's about to graduate, if her relationship is stable, she can meet her parents.
This scene also appears in the original storyline.
At the time, the original owner happily agreed, and then shyly and subtly mentioned the matter to Qin Zheng.
After that, Qin Zheng formally paid a visit.
When Qin Zheng deliberately toned down his carefree attitude, he became a model gentleman.
He is the kind of reliable, successful man that elders like.
The original owner's parents were naturally satisfied with him.
And so, the marriage was arranged.
But this time, Mu Zhou obviously won't continue with that kind of storyline.
She looked at Ms. Yang, her tone gentle yet powerful:
"Mom, actually Qin Zheng isn't really suited for marriage, so I didn't plan to bring him back to meet you."
Ms. Yang was stunned for a moment before she said:
"Not suitable for marriage? Then why are you dating him?"
Mu Zhou slowly removed the face mask, her tone calm:
"Because he is an excellent man, it is normal for me to be attracted to him, but he does not have the excellent qualities that a married man should have."
Ms. Yang was a little confused.
I only heard Mu Zhou continue:
"Mom, if I get married, I want to find a man like Dad, who is family-oriented, gentle, can cook, and has a strong sense of family responsibility. Qin Zheng is not like that."
She was still in shock even after Ms. Yang left.
Back in the bedroom, she repeated what Mu Zhou had said to her husband, and Mu Zhou's father laughed after hearing it:
“I was worried that our daughter was too well-behaved and naive and would be easily deceived by men, but I didn’t expect her to be so insightful.”
Mr. Mu was in a great mood after being praised by his daughter. He turned off the light, lay down, and felt relieved.
"What's most important for a man? It's being a good family man. Qin Zheng is so well-off, he must value his career more. The woman behind a man who values his career will definitely have a hard time. He's not suitable for marriage. Dating is fine. I think you don't need to worry about this. Zhouzhou knows what she's doing."
After thinking about it, Ms. Yang stopped worrying about it.
After lying down here, Mu Zhou also closed his eyes.
She recalled the original plot.
The original owner lived in a middle-class family; one of her parents was a university teacher, and the other was a doctor.
They had high expectations of the original owner, but fortunately, the original owner was well-behaved and sensible from a young age, so they didn't need to worry about her too much.
The original owner was always described as a "good girl" by others. She was beautiful and cute, had excellent grades, and had many hobbies, including learning piano and ballet from a young age.
Even if they don't make a living from these special skills, they still possess an exceptional air of elegance due to the influence they received from a young age.
She has a gentle personality, is filial to her parents, and can cook.
She smoothly progressed through a top-tier secondary school, gained admission to a well-known local university, and secured a stable internship at her desired company without much parental worry.
The only unexpected thing was meeting Qin Zheng.
In the original owner's and her parents' original plan, the original owner should have found a middle-class family with stable jobs and gotten married one to two years after graduation.
Unexpectedly, the original owner met Qin Zheng during her junior year of college.
Qin Zheng is an outstanding alumnus of the school. He founded a robotics company while still in school, and after graduation, he caught the wave of opportunity and became a rising star in the technology industry.
In addition, his family is a long-established wealthy business family, which adds another layer of filter to his charm.
At that time, he came to the school to cut the ribbon for the newly built laboratory.
He donated an experimental building and a teaching building to the school, and the school naturally valued him and even held a special seminar for him.
The original owner was an event volunteer, responsible for handling emergencies.
A student nearly fainted due to low blood sugar. The original owner of this body had an emergency kit in her pocket, so she quickly found a piece of candy and gave it to the student.
Then, in an orderly manner, everyone was dispersed to avoid gathering, and the students were instructed to help the student with low blood sugar to the corridor to rest.
The noise quickly subsided.
After the original owner finished dealing with everything, a man in a suit walked up to her:
"Excuse me, could you give me a band-aid?"
The original owner looked up and found that the man in front of her was Qin Zheng, the man who had just been giving a speech on the stage.
