CEO's Forced Love

"Are you sure it's like, not an illusion beautified by yourself?"

Ye Zhiqiu's half closed eyelashes flashed, and his voice was blunt: "then how are you sure I don't really like you? You're not me. Why are you so arbitrary?"

"You admit that I've grown up, so I think it's my freedom to like everyone." she was already incoherent.

Huo Zhongxiao bowed his head slightly. The skin on Ye Zhiqiu's face was delicate and tender, and the smooth forehead showed a white halo under the soft light. Both her eyes and facial features exuded the unique attraction of a young girl.

His dark eyes coagulated her wronged little face: "do you know why I took you to have that meal at noon?"

Ye Zhiqiu didn't say anything. She knew Huo Zhongxiao didn't need her answer.

"Those are my friends and my life circle. I'm eleven years older than you. My friend's children are even in high school like you. The topics we talk about will be boring to you. One day, you will understand that two people don't just talk about love."

"Then why don't you say your friend is ten years older than you?"

Ye Zhiqiu felt sour and tried to retort: "you can have a common topic with him, and I can do it in the future. In fact, I also like watching the news broadcast."

Then there was a soft, inaudible sigh overhead.

Ye Zhiqiu heard the helpless mood, especially Huo Zhongxiao's next words, which made her eyes wet and red and swollen: "an adult has not only rights, but more responsibilities, but in my opinion, your words and deeds are far from meeting the responsibilities that adults should have."

"Shall I speak more clearly?"

His tone is still very calm, as if to state an established fact: "your family, your friends, and even the people around you can accept you with a man who is faster than you. Besides, he used to be your little uncle?"

“……”

Ye Zhiqiu opened her mouth, but found that her voice seemed blocked and couldn't make a sound.

"Just now in the car, you were even afraid that your grandfather would hear my voice." Huo Zhongxiao's voice seemed to come from a distant place, but it hit her heavily: "have you ever thought that if we were together, what you need to face is a reality hundreds of times harder than this."

"I -" I'm just not ready

Ye Zhiqiu wanted to speak, but found that what he said would appear empty and pale, because any explanation could not change the result of his upcoming sentence.

Tears ran down her cheeks, very hot.

"You are still young. You don't think about many things correctly. It's easy to regard temporary dependence as like. How much do you know about me from the first time you saw me to today? You say you like me and what do you like me?"

Huo Zhongxiao didn't give her a chance to escape: "can you tell me the answer to this question?"

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned, like a panicked child forced into a corner.

"The elders can tolerate the younger generation without limit, but men can't. no one is perfect. One day, you find that I'm not the man you really want. At that time, there will be only endless quarrels between each other."

"No, it's not what you said..." tears don't stay and flow down like a sluice gate. Ye Zhiqiu just repeats this sentence back and forth.

When he put these realities in front of her, she couldn't give any satisfactory answer.

Huo Zhongxiao said, "when you graduate from college and enter this society, you will find that many things are different from what you think, including feelings. You are still so young, there will be countless possibilities in life, and you will meet all kinds of people. You shouldn't make yourself regret life because of impulse."

Ye Zhiqiu didn't know how to refute him, because what he said seemed to be right.

Her feet were nailed there, and the coffee in her hand had turned cold, leaving only a touch of bitterness.

In the low vision, Huo Zhongxiao's leather shoes turned an angle to the side and made way for the road ahead. Ye Zhiqiu heard him say, "it's already 10:15 and there are still 10 minutes to check in."

But she stood still and suddenly forgot to cry. She just let her thoughts empty and hung her head in silence.

……

Actually, she should go.

He has said this for his own sake. Otherwise, will he continue to stay to take his humiliation?

Ye Zhiqiu wanted to go and escape the embarrassment, but her legs suddenly lost consciousness. She couldn't step away and tied her in place.

A motorcycle horn broke the silence between them.

Huo Zhongxiao said first, "I'll send you in."
