He didn’t like that feeling. In his career, he liked to be in control and manipulate risks, but his attitude towards family was extremely conservative. He believed that a family should be a harmonious couple with children and grandchildren. So, he had no extravagant hopes for love, and rather strived for stability in marriage.
In this regard, he thought Zhou Yi’An was very good. He had a simple and almost blank background, a stable personality, and had his own pursuit of life. He knew what could and could not be asked for in a mutual relationship. He would not make too many demands but also make people feel that he cares a lot. In terms of materials and matters, if he needed it, he would put it forward very straightforwardly, without beating around the bush and making people spend time speculating.
Before having his son, Liu Heng spent most of his life working and making money. After having his son, he allocated some time to his child. He felt that he was not an excellent father, but he was still competent. He didn’t have much time for romance, and he didn’t want to spend too much energy talking about it. It was fine as long as they got along. He thought that there must be a strong bonding in his marriage to firmly bind the relationship between the two parties. He needed his lover to rely on him in some way. And, it was too tiring to be emotionally dependent and feelings are also too troublesome. In the end, materialism was the best.
His lover needed to know how to move forward, know how to retreat, know how to ask for things, and also know some things that he should not take. Liu Heng’s career and everything would definitely belong to Dousha in the future. He only had one son now, and he was afraid he wouldn’t have another son in the future, so that person’s greed and desires would not become overwhelming.
So, among the people he met, Zhou Yi’An was undoubtedly the best choice.

In the dark car, Liu Heng took out his phone and turned on the screen. The wallpaper was still the picture of that person. He knew it must have been changed by Dousha. His young son was reminding him in some way that he needs his mother.
Liu Heng unlocked the phone screen of his phone and tapped on the text message Chen Jiao had just sent: [Wang YinCheng, 1599xxxxxxx]
He dialed directly. The phone rang three times, and was connected. The man on the other end had a clean and refreshing voice: “Hello?”
Liu Heng held the phone in one hand and his other hand rested on the steering wheel. His face was as cold as a sculpture as before: “I’m Liu Heng.”
“Oh.” The man on the other end of the phone had an indifferent attitude, and his voice was calm and gentle, showing a sense of alienation: “Hello. So, you are calling me to tell me that you are willing to accept the interview, right?”
Liu Heng raised his eyebrows and tapped his index finger on the steering wheel, recalling in his mind whether there was Wang YinCheng in the news circle of the H city. And in the end, there was nothing. He had never heard of Wang YinCheng. He didn’t know why Chen Jiao spoke for this person, but he didn’t care. He was just slightly surprised by the man’s attitude.

It was as if Liu Heng had dialed the wrong number. The person on the other end said calmly, “Oh, it’s okay.” and then hung up, and it did not make any waves.
Liu Heng said: “When you come to Huarong tomorrow, don’t bring a voice recorder.”
Wang YinCheng: “Okay.”
“You can only have a few personal topics.”
“Okay.”
“Don’t bring a cameraman, the company will provide you with photos.”
The other side paused for two seconds: “Okay.”

After Zhou Yi’An came back, he changed clothes and took a shower. He threw the watch on the sofa casually, and didn’t even bother to look at it again.
Liu Heng had given him countless watches all the time, all of which were expensive. At first, Zhou Yi’An felt novel and excited. After all, a watch of that price was something he had never dared to think of before. Liu Heng also gave him two cars, a Volvo and an Audi.
On that matter, Yi An admitted that he was well taken care of by Liu Heng. When he was abroad, he even asked Liu Heng in private whether it was okay like that. After all, he could not give anything to Liu Heng.
Liu Heng’s answer at the time was: “Just accept it if I give it to you. There will always be a time for you to repay.”
Zhou Yi’An stood naked under the shower head, and mixing together with water, he closed his eyes. He smiled coldly, ‘yes, repay’. Wasn’t he always repaying back? He signed up for a loveless relationship.
Liu Heng didn’t need love, but Zhou Yi’An obviously needed it. Like most men, he needed care and love, and needed attention. But Liu Heng also told him clearly that it was impossible.
Zhou Yi’An came out of the shower and wrapped a bath towel around his waist without wearing any clothes.
He walked back to the room barefoot, and Zhou Yan’s call just came in: “Hello?”
Zhou Yan was holding the phone in one hand and playing with keys in the other, smiling quite smugly. Zhou Yi’An raised his eyebrows and waited for Zhou Yan to speak: “Guess who I just met.”
Zhou Yi’An sat on the edge of the bed and rummaged through the bedside table to find a cotton swab: “It’s definitely not Wang YinCheng.” After Zhou Yi’An finished speaking, he was stunned in his heart. He seemed to always think of Wang YinCheng inadvertently now and he remembered that little boy from the past.
Zhou Yan laughed loudly on the other end: “Of course. If I run into him, I won’t even have time to take a detour. I just met a junior from when I was a graduate student!”
Zhou Yi’An took a cotton swab and picked out his ears: “So you called me to tell me your experience of picking up girls?”
Zhou Yan: “How could it be? Let me tell you, my junior is now an editor of the finance section of a newspaper. I just met her, and she complained to me that recently there was an unreliable person in charge in their office, who specializes in the financial section and such. She complained bitterly that the person in charge doesn’t understand anything and he is just fooling around.”
Zhou Yi’An’s hand holding the cotton swab paused. Then he heard Zhou Yi’An continue: “Damn. Tell me about it, this world is really small. The person in charge that my junior was complaining about is Wang YinCheng! Wang YinCheng is now the editor-in-chief of the finance section of that newspaper!!”
Zhou Yi’An’s heart skipped a beat. He didn’t know how to say that feeling. He threw away the cotton swab in his hand and stood up, walking back and forth in the bedroom twice, “You said he is now working as a editor in finance section now?”
Zhou Yan: “Yeah. What do you think? What a coincidence, you say. No matter how much I ask, I can’t find the person, and then I just ran into a junior on the street and found out about him without asking!”
Zhou Yan was still talking on the other end of the phone, but even after talking, he didn’t notice Zhou Yi’An on the other end was silent for a long time.
Zhou Yi’An sat down on the bed again and took a deep breath. He wanted to make his voice sound the same, but when he spoke, his voice trembled: “You…do you have his number?”
Zhou Yan: “Of course, I do. I’ll send it to you later.” He paused: “But I still think you’d better not contact him. When you went abroad, I also went to graduate school. At that time, I heard people in the school say that he had a miserable life.” Zhou Yan was kindly reminding him. After all, many people in the school circle knew about the relationship between Zhou Yi’An and Wang YinCheng at the time. After Zhou Yi’An went abroad, Wang YinCheng had another incident, which everyone felt that it was Zhou Yi’An’s fault and Zhou Yi’An was heartless. And no one knew what Wang YinCheng’s attitude towards Zhou Yi’An was.
“Well, I know.”
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan sent the number and reminded Zhou Yi’An again. Zhou Yi’An felt very anxious and annoyed. He couldn’t understand Zhou Yan’s cautious reminder. He only felt that Wang YinCheng had such a miserable life because his own personality was too withdrawn and unsociable. Once Zhou Yi’An went abroad, Wang YinCheng had no one to rely on and there were no other relatives either, and that was why it became like that.
Zhou Yi’An went to the living room and drank a large glass of cold water. When he came back, he held the phone and stared at the number for a while before dialing it. On the other end of the phone, he heard a mechanical female voice reminding him that the other party was on a call. Zhou Yi’An hung up the phone, and the courage he had gathered up finally disappeared instantly. He stared at himself in the full-length mirror, and was silent for a while before he realized what he was doing.
He was someone who had a boyfriend, but now he couldn’t let go of his ex-lover. What was he doing? Zhou Yi’An hurriedly turned off the phone and threw it on the bedside, as if he had done nothing.

After Liu Heng sent Dousha to the kindergarten, he went to the company and arranged for the secretary department to receive Wang YinCheng.
The director of the secretary department expressed panic and stared at Liu Heng in disbelief: “President…. Liu, are you sober?”
Liu Heng looked tough and was a workaholic. He always frowned and looked at people in the company indifferently. So, there was no exception when he looked at the director of the secretary department. He glanced at the person in front him and said: “I didn’t drink.”
The director of the secretary department shuddered under Liu Heng’s cold gaze and quickly asked someone to arrange Conference room and call the front desk to inform them in advance.

Ahhh I hope they can finally meet in the next chapter. If that Yi An ruins it again I’ll riot!
Thank you for the chapter!
This dissociation is wild. The guy’s reaching out to his ex specifically because he craves the love his ex use to give him but when told his ex was unhappy after he left he thinks “Must be because he’s antisocial, It’s his own fault really”. It has never even occurred to this guy he broke Wang YinCheng heart. Thinks he just put all that love in the fridge or something. Just needs to re-heat it a bit and they’ll be back to the good old days.
Yeah, the “anti-social” bit is really rich, especially since he already remarked that WYC’s smile was always softer for him
Oho
Thank You for the new chapter ❤⃛ヾ(๑❛ ▿ ◠๑ )
Zhou yi’an is such a scumbag… You deserve what’s coming to you. And I can’t wait for liu heng to break off with him completely
Zhou Yan is so fake, telling ZYA not to call WYC and then giving him his number anyway. It’s like handing drugs to an addict and telling them not to take them…
