Zhao Dong's emotional intelligence came online and he immediately heard Sophie's implication. She didn't want the relationship between the two to end, but she couldn't open her mouth, so she gave herself the decision-making power on the matter.
But what does she mean, is she really reluctant to give up, or is it for some other reason?
He couldn't think of an answer.
When Sophie saw that Zhao Dong was silent, she asked, "Please tell me, why are you complaining? Can I still stop you from finding a new love?"
Zhao Dong didn't know how to open his mouth, so he definitely didn't want to break up. After getting along with each other for a period of time, Sophie already had a very important role in his heart.
Otherwise tonight, I wouldn't be in a state of despair and chaos just because of a few angry words from her.
But he spoke so coolly during the showdown just now, and then he opened his mouth to ask for peace in the blink of an eye?
Not to mention Sophie, even he would look down on himself!
He hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Does your stomach still hurt?"
Sophie understood the meaning of the irrelevant answer. Like her, Zhao Dong didn't want the relationship to end, but he was too embarrassed to speak.
Sophie didn't ask any further questions and replied with a rare tacit understanding, "Much better."
Zhao Dong breathed a sigh of relief and followed the trend: "Don't stay up late in the future. Drinking wine can be pushed to social events. If you can't push it away, you can't drink it with it, and you must drink it at room temperature!"
Normally, Sophie would have been annoyed by being nagged like this, but now she felt even warmer.
She could tell that Zhao Dong acquiesced in her going out to socialize and in contact with Xu Huayang, and she suddenly felt that the pressure all over her body was relieved a lot.
Given Su's current situation, it is almost impossible for her to turn down all social activities, not to mention that Xu Huayang still holds a sum of money that can determine Su's fate.
In fact, Zhao Dong is not a stingy man, and it's not that he doesn't trust Sophie. He can also understand the social entertainment she talks about.
He was just a little hostile towards Xu Huayang, but it wasn't that simple jealousy.
With Sophie's excellence, she has so many suitors around her. If they are so angry every time, why would they have to quarrel every day?
He just felt that Xu Huayang's sudden appearance next to Sophie at this time had impure motives. Especially after what happened tonight, he felt that the other party was a hypocrite with ulterior motives.
Sophie is actually a very shrewd woman, but because of her past relationship, she did not have too much precaution against Xu Huayang, which made Zhao Dong very worried.
But now that the two of them have just reconciled, if they discuss the topic about Xu Huayang, they will inevitably break up again, so they can only find another way to solve this problem.
And even if Sophie makes up her mind to stop contacting Xu Huayang, I'm afraid Aunt Mei will continue to help her.
Rather than being a villain in vain, it is better to wait for things to change.
He believed that if Xu Huayang really had an ulterior motive, sooner or later the fox's tail would show up!
Sophie nodded slightly, as if to promise, "I will try to go home as early as possible from now on."
Zhao Dong said: "If it's too late, just call me and I'll pick you up. If anyone asks, just say I'm your driver."
Sophie was amused by him, "What's the matter? I didn't say anything, but you feel inferior? Are you afraid of embarrassing me?"
Zhao Dongping said: "I understand the rules of the business world. It's okay for me to be looked down upon by others. After all, in this society, there are many people who look down upon others. But if it affects your image, wouldn't I become a sinner?"
Only then did Sophie realize that Zhao Dong had never felt inferior because of his status. The so-called inferiority was just imposed on him by others.
She couldn't help but wonder, what had this man gone through to develop such an invulnerable temperament?
