Chapter 1589 - 637: Dear Zhou
Up to now, although Zhou Wang hasn’t read all the [Time Gear] yet, he can already find some common threads from the previously read [Time Gear].
Breaking it down simply, it’s "another self", basically always being involved in overseas matters.
He’s been to Europe, been to Hong Kong and Macau, been to the Beautiful Country, and perhaps many other places...
In almost a prophetic manner, he gradually pieced together the enormous map belonging to Cloud Trust. In just a few years, Cloud Trust has become a colossal entity and has established substantial connections worldwide.
Previously, there was the president of the Paris Chamber of Commerce, Fel Renault, so now it’s not surprising to see an heir from a Beautiful Country conglomerate family appear.
The key is that Charles Morgan has appeared in his own [Memory Gear], and according to Zhou Wang’s speculation, he is likely a very important partner in his Beautiful Country business empire.
It’s just lacking other "Memory Fragment" clues for support, so Zhou Wang cannot verify this guess, but now Wang Ruixi’s call somewhat validates Zhou Wang’s idea.
No major issue, Wang Ruixi usually wouldn’t contact him, and Charles Morgan’s appearance, allowing Wang Ruixi to personally call Zhou Wang, indicates that even for the entire Cloud Trust, Charles Morgan is an indispensable figure.
Another possibility is that he and Zhou Wang have a close private friendship, making Wang Ruixi feel there is a need to specifically call and remind Zhou Wang...
No matter the situation, Zhou Wang feels he should follow Wang Ruixi’s advice.
So, after hanging up the call, he immediately stored Charles Morgan’s number on his phone, then pondered a bit and edited an English message to send over.
If they’re both in Korea, they can indeed find a chance to meet, perhaps also to solve some of his doubts...
Putting down the phone, Zhou Wang glanced out at the river view outside his window.
Perhaps he’s seen it too much and has become immune; Zhou Wang doesn’t find the scenery captivating. However, opposite him, Jin Zhixiu is extremely focused, staring intently out the window, occasionally pressing her lips, seeming slightly distracted.
Zhou Wang is quite surprised; Jin Zhixiu is herself originally from Seoul, she should see these views every day, yet how is she so captivated by them?
But Zhou Wang is extremely astute and quickly notices some nuances...
Outside is the river view, but on the fogged-up glass, there’s also a scene.
There, a man and a woman are seated under candlelight, facing each other. The man is looking at her, and she is looking at the reflection of the man.
Jin Zhixiu seems to be lost in thought, her expression both troubled and sweet.
So it’s me she’s distracted by...
Zhou Wang’s lips curled up in a smile, noticing Jin Zhixiu resting her chin seemingly unaware, he slightly leaned forward, moving closer.
Across from him, Jin Zhixiu remained staring dazedly at the reflection of the two people on the window.
"Is this considered a date?"
"Probably not, after all, he and I are not that kind of relationship..."
"But if not, we’ve already kissed, he even touched those places..."
"No, he’s just playing with me... But he says he likes me, no, he says he loves me..."
"I really have no way to deal with this man, just like today, he asked me to dinner, I could refuse, but I ran here without thinking."
"Jin Zhixiu, how can you be so weak... However, when he’s not being flirtatious, he’s quite handsome, with long eyelashes..."
Since Zhou Wang suddenly played on his phone, the bored Jin Zhixiu could only indulge in random thoughts. She dared not openly gaze at Zhou Wang, so she peeks at him through the reflection on the window, finding this quite nice, allowing her to remember every detail of his features without restraint.
At this moment Jin Zhixiu suddenly realized that she and Zhou Wang aren’t that familiar, yet they’ve done things only intimate couples would do, making her emotions increasingly complicated.
Just as Jin Zhixiu was dazed and lost in thought, she suddenly noticed Zhou Wang’s reflection on the window moving, approaching her.
Jin Zhixiu froze, quickly turned her head, and was only met with Zhou Wang’s rapidly enlarging face as her lips were pecked.
"You..."
Jin Zhixiu barely had time to react, only able to stare with wide eyes.
Her first response wasn’t to reproach Zhou Wang but to quickly turn her gaze around, seeing as no one seemed to notice, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Jin Zhixiu realized something was wrong, hurriedly making a pouting expression to express her dissatisfaction.
But her angry look appeared completely harmless in Zhou Wang’s eyes.
Zhou Wang sincerely said, "Sorry, Zhixiu, you’re just too captivating, I couldn’t help myself..."
"You—you shouldn’t just suddenly take advantage of me like that, I will really get angry!"
Jin Zhixiu warned, turning her face, yet her heartbeat slightly quickened from Zhou Wang’s compliment.
"Okay, next time I’ll give you a moment for mental preparation."
Zhou Wang immediately nodded, indicating he understood.
"You..."
Jin Zhixiu felt like she was being led on by Zhou Wang, yet didn’t know how to retort. Just as she wanted to say something, she saw Zhou Wang pick up his phone again.
Jin Zhixiu genuinely got a bit angry, this bad man, she’s still talking to him, yet he’s already started fiddling with his phone again?
