Chapter 124: Zheng Yanyan: No One Can Take Zhou Yuwen from Me! No One!

At noon, when class ended, the hallways of the teaching building were crowded with students, all bustling with energy.However, those coming down from the second floor had smiles on their faces, looking incredulous, as if they had just witnessed something unbelievable.

Zheng Yanyan had rushed over as soon as she received Chang Hao’s message. As she made her way upstairs, it felt like swimming upstream against the tide of students heading down.

She overheard people talking as she passed by:

“That was unbelievable. Who was that guy?”

“Yeah, the girl was so pretty, and then she just knelt down in front of him.”

“That’s so humiliating. I could never do that.”

Everyone seemed to be discussing the same thing.

Hearing this, Zheng Yanyan’s anxiety grew, and she quickened her pace. However, she was still too late. By the time she arrived at Zhou Yuwen’s classroom, both Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing were gone. Li Qiang was there, chatting with Liu Yue and some other girls, gossiping about the event.

Liu Yue and her friends were very curious—what exactly was the relationship between Su Qing and Zhou Yuwen?

Grinning, Li Qiang replied, “It’s a long story.”

The seven of them—two dorms’ worth of students—were walking down the hallway. Chang Hao and Lu Yuhang were at the back, while Li Qiang led the conversation, with Liu Yue, Ma Tian, and the other girls listening closely. Gu Yaoyao walked on the outside.

At that moment, Zheng Yanyan nearly passed them by.

Chang Hao didn’t even notice her.

Chang Hao was lost in thought, wondering what made Zhou Yuwen so special that Su Qing would have such deep feelings for him.

To be honest, when he saw Su Qing kneel before Zhou Yuwen earlier, he felt a pang of sympathy. It seemed unnecessary. No matter how much you love someone, you shouldn’t have to be so humble.

In that moment, Chang Hao felt he could relate to Su Qing.

Why didn’t Zhou Yuwen accept Su Qing? Could his feelings for Zheng Yanyan really surpass that?

While Chang Hao was lost in thought, Zheng Yanyan spotted him and turned back. “Chang Hao!”

Hearing her voice, Chang Hao froze.

Zheng Yanyan looked upset, her expression filled with anger.

As she had made her way there, she had pieced together what had happened from the snippets of conversations she overheard.

Su Qing had knelt before Zhou Yuwen?!

What did she want?

That’s her boyfriend! Is she trying to play the victim now?

What is she trying to pull?

Zheng Yanyan’s eyes blazed with fury as she stared at Chang Hao, her gaze so intense that it made him uncomfortable.

He had been wondering earlier if he should muster the courage Su Qing had shown.

“Where’s Zhou Yuwen?” Zheng Yanyan demanded through gritted teeth.

“He…”

Seeing her expression, Chang Hao hesitated, suddenly feeling unsure. In her eyes, there was nothing but Zhou Yuwen.

“Heh, Sister Yanyan, you’re too late. Zhou and Su Qing ran off together,” Li Qiang chimed in with a teasing tone.

Zheng Yanyan shot him a glare so sharp that, if looks could kill, Li Qiang would have died a thousand times.

“Stop talking nonsense!” Chang Hao quickly reprimanded Li Qiang, worried that Zheng Yanyan would misunderstand. He explained, “Su Qing was upset, so Zhou Yuwen took her to the infirmary.”

“Really?” Zheng Yanyan didn’t seem to believe him, her tone carrying suspicion.

“Yeah...”

All around them, other students were chatting as they walked past.

Zheng Yanyan blocked Chang Hao’s way, clearly furious. Liu Yue and her friends wanted to stay and watch the drama unfold, but Gu Yaoyao had no interest in waiting around. She reminded them that if they didn’t head to the cafeteria soon, they wouldn’t get a seat.

Though disappointed, the four girls left.

Li Qiang had initially wanted to walk with them—after all, Liu Yue and her friends were girls, and besides, Gu Yaoyao was quite pretty.

However, Zheng Yanyan wouldn’t let Chang Hao leave. She needed to get to the bottom of this.

Since she had rushed out that morning, Zheng Yanyan hadn’t had time to put on makeup. She wore a black T-shirt paired with a deep blue buttoned denim skirt, her long legs wrapped in white cotton socks.

She stood there, blocking Chang Hao and the others, demanding an explanation of what had just happened.

So Chang Hao explained everything in detail: Su Qing had come looking for Zhou Yuwen first thing in the morning, and after some unknown exchange, she had knelt in front of him.

As Chang Hao explained, Zheng Yanyan dialed Zhou Yuwen’s number, her face growing colder by the second.

At that moment, in the BMW M4, Su Qing sat in the passenger seat, her eyes still red, her beautiful legs pressed together as she cried quietly.

Zhou Yuwen’s phone rang incessantly—it was Zheng Yanyan.

But he didn’t pick up. He was already feeling irritated and didn’t expect Su Qing to pull this kind of stunt.

Zhou Yuwen admitted to himself that he had indeed come back from the past.

There was no point in hiding it anymore.

It had all started when Su Qing, in a panic as Zhou Yuwen was about to walk away, suddenly dropped to her knees.

The hallway of the teaching building was paved with marble.

Su Qing, wearing only shorts, now had red knees.

She had cried her heart out, a picture of sorrow, convinced that if Zhou Yuwen left her in that moment, she would never have another chance.

At that time, it was just after class, so there weren’t many people around. But those who saw them began to whisper and watch from afar.

Zhou Yuwen had no choice but to go back and pull Su Qing up. “Stand up. We can talk about this later.”

“No! I won’t get up until you admit you’re my husband!”

Su Qing was stubborn. Though no one else could hear what they were saying, from a distance, all they could see was a girl kneeling before a boy.

Zhou Yuwen sighed, “Get up, and we’ll talk somewhere else. Didn’t you want to come to my house? Fine, let’s go to my place.”

“No!”

Su Qing started throwing a tantrum. Zhou Yuwen had refused to take her home to avoid any unexpected situations, but who could have predicted things would go so wrong in public?

Her eyes were swollen from crying, and when Zhou Yuwen tried to pull her up, she refused, grabbing his arm and sobbing, “Zhou Yuwen, I didn’t stop you from dating anyone else, and I didn’t interfere with your life. So why won’t you admit the truth? You’re my husband. Why won’t you just admit it?”

Zhou Yuwen was exasperated. “But I’m not your husband.”

“I just need you to admit it! Just admit that you’re my husband, and I’ll get up!”

“You’re crazy!”

Su Qing continued crying, “Zhou Yuwen, I’m begging you. Please admit it. I miss you so much.”

“Every day since I got here, I’ve felt so alone. I don’t know what to do anymore. I submitted my work to big companies, thinking they would like it, but they said my work was worthless. I tried to make money by investing in Bitcoin, but when the price tripled, they kicked me out of the group before I could cash out.”

At this point, Su Qing was sobbing uncontrollably, feeling utterly defeated. She had borrowed 5,000 yuan from her mother, only for 7,000 yuan to disappear just like that. She couldn’t even report it to the police.

“I know I was wrong,” Su Qing whimpered as she looked at Zhou Yuwen, “Without you, I can’t do anything right. You can yell at me, hit me, whatever you want. Just please, don’t leave me. I just want to stay by your side.”

Zhou Yuwen sighed in frustration. From a distance, more and more people were gathering and whispering.

Su Qing’s pitiful appearance was drawing more and more attention.

“Even if I were your husband, what’s the point of saying this now?” Zhou Yuwen asked, clearly irritated.

“?” Su Qing looked at him, confused.

Zhou Yuwen continued, “Even if what you’re saying is true, we’re already divorced. Legally, we have no connection. We’ve already ended it, so what do you want now?”

“Get back together? You really think that’s possible?”

“I wasn’t going to get back together with you before, and I’m definitely not going to do it now,” Zhou Yuwen said, his voice firm.

“?” Su Qing froze, staring at Zhou Yuwen’s cold expression.

“You really are my husband,” she whispered.

Zhou Yuwen responded icily, “Ex-husband.”

“No, that doesn’t matter.” Su Qing suddenly smiled through her tears. Wiping her face, she beamed, “I knew it. I knew you were Zhou Yuwen, right?!”

“You have to be Zhou Yuwen. I couldn’t have been wrong!” Su Qing cried tears of joy and hugged Zhou Yuwen around the neck.

From a distance, the onlookers saw the boy and girl embracing, but they had no idea what was

happening.

Did they make up?

Zhou Yuwen gently pushed Su Qing away. “Do you understand what I’m saying? Even if what you say is true, I have a new life now. Why can’t you start fresh? I have a girlfriend now. Why do you keep clinging to me?”

Su Qing’s eyes, red and swollen, gazed at Zhou Yuwen as if in a trance. The tears in her eyes made her look even more innocent and cute.

Though Zhou Yuwen was speaking seriously, Su Qing continued to smile like a fool.

“Are you even listening to me?”

Su Qing nodded quietly, biting her lip. Zhou Yuwen tried several times to remove her hands from his neck, but she kept putting them back, clinging to him. “I miss you.”

“We should talk somewhere else.”

With no other choice, Zhou Yuwen grabbed Su Qing’s hand and led her away.

Su Qing followed behind him, still smiling.

Because they were in a corner of the building, near the hallway that connected the teaching building to the laboratory, not many people had seen what was going on.

Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing stayed there for a long time. No one heard what they said, but eventually, they left together.

Chang Hao told Zheng Yanyan that Su Qing seemed mentally unstable, and Zhou Yuwen had probably taken her to the infirmary.

Li Qiang, however, interjected, “Come on, Chang Hao. We were so far away. How do you know Zhou took her to the infirmary? You’re just lying to Sister Yanyan.”

“Shut up,” Zheng Yanyan snapped, glaring at Li Qiang like a mafia boss. She hated hearing his voice, and her expression grew colder by the second.

Li Qiang, shocked by her fierce reaction, immediately fell silent.

Zheng Yanyan dialed Zhou Yuwen’s number three more times.

He didn’t answer any of them.

Turning to Chang Hao, she ordered, “You. Call Zhou Yuwen.”

“Yanyan, there’s definitely something between Zhou and Su Qing. You should…”

“I said, call him!” Zheng Yanyan snapped.

“Yanyan…”

“No one can take Zhou Yuwen away from me! No one!” Zheng Yanyan shouted, her eyes red with fury.

Hearing what Chang Hao had said about them hugging each other, and Li Qiang’s careless remarks, she grew even more agitated. She didn’t want to hear anyone’s nonsense.

Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing had left hand in hand?

What did that mean?

Were they really involved?

Were they rekindling an old flame?

Then what about me?

I called him three times, and he didn’t pick up? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0velFire.ɴet

What am I to him?

“Call him. Call him right now!” Zheng Yanyan demanded, pointing at Chang Hao furiously.
