204: Chapter 204 Little Fatty Zhou

Su Nange introduced his company's development vision to Zhou Bingzheng.

Zhou Bingzheng nodded frequently, expressing his approval.

"Zhijiang Province is a place that encourages private development. You young people should go ahead and work boldly. If anything happens or you encounter any difficulties, don't keep them to yourself. Communicate more with the comrades in government departments."

Su Nange also admired Zhou Bingzheng for this.

Zhijiang Province had developed rapidly in recent years, especially Qiantang City, which was fast approaching China's first-tier status; all of this was inseparable from the contributions of the provincial governor before him.

But Su Nange also caught Zhou Bingzheng's underlying meaning: everything must be done within the rules; don't mess around behind the back of the governing authorities.

Fortunately, Zhou Bingzheng had a lot of work to do in the afternoon. Su Nange felt that if he stayed with Zhou Bingzheng for too long, he would end up wearing an administrative jacket himself.

Even his laughter would be filled with the scent of soy sauce.

However, for this newly recognized nephew, Zhou Bingzheng was already being very considerate. For others, just chatting for a few moments with Zhou Bingzheng would be a momentous occasion. This kid, surprisingly, was unwilling.

Of course Su Nange was unwilling; if he wanted to chat...

Why wouldn't I look for Zhou Wanqing?

Wen Nianci also went to take a nap, and Su Nange caught another opportunity.

It was the first time he had entered Zhou Wanqing's room in this house.

Zhou Wanqing started by putting up her guard: "Be careful, this is a government compound, don't do anything reckless."

Su Nange: "Do you really think I only think with my lower body?"

"By the way, your dad said he wants you to take me to Yanjing. What does he mean by that?"

"What do you mean 'what does he mean'? He simply wants me to take you to pay your respects. Don't always think people have ulterior motives for everything they do."

"Oh, alright then. Let's take the train. We'll book a sleeper cabin. It'll be perfect for enjoying the scenery along the way."

"Get away from me. Don't think I don't know what you're planning, you brat."

After Zhou Wanqing finished speaking, she saw that the kid's gaze was off.

She knew she absolutely couldn't provoke this guy right now.

Otherwise, he really might do something crazy.

So, she softened her tone: "Alright, can you just not be like this here?"

Su Nange pointed to his cheek.

Zhou Wanqing shook her head helplessly and leaned in to give him a small kiss as compensation.

However, with a great beauty by his side whom he wasn't allowed to touch, Su Nange couldn't sit still. He happened to see a photo album on Zhou Wanqing's bookshelf.

Zhou Wanqing was incredibly sharp; before Su Nange even raised his hand, she knew exactly what he was up to.

She immediately rushed over to block him.

But the more a woman acts like that, doesn't it just prove she has something to hide?

Su Nange's interest grew even more.

With a wicked grin, he stood up and slowly approached.

Zhou Wanqing cursed herself inwardly. Why hadn't she put this thing away? Now it had been discovered by this kid.

If he saw it, how could she ever face anyone again!

Su Nange was like a wicked Big Bad Wolf.

"Hehe."

"Nange, what's so good about a photo album? How about I show you my books instead?"

Su Nange was completely unmoved.

He even maintained a threatening posture.

Zhou Wanqing had never been this flustered before.

Su Nange asked, "Could it be that there's an ex-boyfriend in here?"

Zhou Wanqing shook her head.

Su Nange leaned close to Zhou Wanqing and spoke softly.

"Then be a good girl and move aside."

Zhou Wanqing couldn't win against Su Nange.

She said weakly, "Then after you see it, you can't laugh at me or hate me!"

Su Nange gave Zhou Wanqing an affectionate kiss on the lips.

His greedy behavior was quite excessive.

Then, Su Nange immediately sat down and impatiently began flipping through it.

But at the very first photo, Su Nange froze.

"Where are you?"

Su Nange asked this not because there was no one in the photo. On the contrary, there were several children full of childish innocence.

Judging by the environment, it looked like a quaint old courtyard.

Zhou Wanqing was very shy as she reached out and pointed at one of the children.

Su Nange thought, Holy crap, this is Zhou Wanqing?

It turned out the reason she was so unwilling to let him see was that she had actually been a chubby little girl when she was a child!

And she was the rustic kind, wearing a small tank top, a pair of short trunks, and those plastic sandals unique to that era.

"If you want to laugh, just laugh."

Su Nange was indeed about to burst.

But if he still wanted to develop things with Zhou Wanqing, he had to hold it back even if it killed him.

Su Nange used all his strength to say calmly, "It's nothing, quite cute. Kids were all like that back then. I was even more ridiculous than you."

Hearing this, Zhou Wanqing's state of mind indeed stabilized a bit.

Su Nange immediately flipped to the next page.

He was even more stunned.

He recognized at a glance that of the two little girls in the photo, one was the young Liu Yuan.

She was way too beautiful, wasn't she? She had simply been beautiful from childhood all the way up!

Although her features hadn't fully developed yet, those large almond eyes were already bright and spirited.

And next to Liu Yuan was still that rustic little fatty.

"Hehe, Liu Yuan was only so-so when she was a kid."

Zhou Wanqing, beside him, said: "That comment is completely unnecessary! I'm not blind!"

The photos that followed, like those of most children, recorded her growth trajectory.

Only, Liu Yuan appeared very frequently in her album, which also proved that they had always maintained a very good relationship.

By the time she reached high school, Zhou Wanqing was already elegant and poised, showing an air of unparalleled grace.

Su Nange held Zhou Wanqing. The fact that she let him see her past without reservation already said a lot.

"I really like you!"

And Zhou Wanqing no longer had any image of a superior; she leaned obediently into Su Nange's sturdy arms.

"How many girls have you deceived with these sweet words?"

"I haven't deceived a single one."

"Hehe, you really are shameless."

"What's the use of having a face? What I want are results!"

"I can tell you honestly, from the moment you kicked me out of City Investment, I swore."

"That one day, I would take off that cold mask of yours!"

"And then? You've achieved it now."

"Then of course, I'll start pampering you!"

Zhou Wanqing smiled: "You overbearing brat!"

Just as the two were getting lost in the moment, there was a knock on the door.

It was Wen Nianci: "Wanqing, come help me prepare dinner."

Zhou Wanqing tidied herself up and opened the door.

"Nan, Nange is here too?"

Su Nange held the photo album in his hand, indicating that they were simply looking at photos.

"Auntie, then let me come and help you too."

Wen Nianci looked around the room; indeed, there were no traces of anything.

These two... they probably wouldn't, right?

So, she nodded with a smile: "Alright, Nange, if you come along too, that would be for the best."

Su Nange was good at chores; he could kill fish and prep vegetables. He was nimble and moved very quickly.

This made Wen Nianci, who was watching from the side, find him more and more pleasing to the eye. She thought to herself, if this young man weren't her nephew, it would actually be quite good.

With him taking care of her, she really wouldn't have to worry about Wanqing's life anymore.

The Zhou Family's dinner had a good atmosphere. Zhou Bingzheng also took advantage of Wen Nianci doting on her nephew to have a few more drinks.

Zhou Wanqing also felt that if there could be more times like this in the future, how wonderful that would be.

Wen Nianci got the room ready for Su Nange in the evening.

After returning to her room, she looked like she wanted to say something but was hesitating.

Zhou Bingzheng: "What is it? Does my wife have something to say?"

Wen Nianci: "I always feel like something is still not quite right between Wanqing and Nange."

"What's not right? They address each other with respect now, isn't that quite good?"

Wen Nianci: "Don't you feel this change happened a bit too quickly? I'm Wanqing's mother, don't I know that girl? A while ago, she was making a life-and-death fuss."

Zhou Bingzheng: "Hehe, you're just overthinking it."

"You men don't understand!"

In this regard, Zhou Bingzheng indeed didn't understand. Hearing his wife say this, he asked: "Then we won't let the two of them go to Yanjing alone?"

Wen Nianci hardened her heart: "Let them go. We can't control that much anyway. Regardless, Nange is a good boy, I quite like him."

Zhou Bingzheng smiled and didn't speak. What was that ancient saying? Who finds whom more and more pleasing to the eye?

And even less did anyone know what this '001' of Zhijiang was actually calculating.
