Chapter 264 The so-called mortal enemies are just a way to cover up their true feelings.
"The final intimate encounter?"
Su Qingge was stunned, her clear, cold eyes still bearing traces of tears that hadn't dried, making her look somewhat dazed.
Looking at her adorable, bewildered expression, Lin Zhou couldn't help but let out a low chuckle.
He shifted slightly, leaning against the soft hospital bed pillows, his deep eyes filled with a mischievous smile.
"Qingge, you don't actually believe that the extremely hasty marriage between the Su and Lin families was decided by those two old men on a whim, do you?"
Su Qingge blinked in confusion, her slender fingers unconsciously clutching the corner of the blanket.
"Isn't that right? I remember my dad was so angry he almost smashed up the study. He said that the Lin family's good-for-nothing son was hopeless, and if it weren't for the fact that we were family friends, he would never have married me off to them."
"He was just putting on an act for outsiders."
Lin Zhou casually took Su Qingge's slightly cool hand and played with it in his palm.
"Actually, that marriage was a deep pit that we dug together."
As his memories were fully restored, those thrilling business bets from back then became vivid in Lin Zhou's mind.
That year, the K organization's influence had already begun to infiltrate the region on a large scale.
Lin Zhenguo sensed the crisis.
At that time, Lin Zhou was not a good-for-nothing at all; on the contrary, he was a top-notch hacker genius in Beijing.
In order to make the K organization completely lose interest in him, and also to remove Su Qingge from this dangerous struggle.
They devised a strategy of "using someone else's strength against them".
"Do you remember before we got married, at the bidding conference for that piece of land in the western suburbs, I deliberately made you lose 300 million?"
Lin Zhou raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with nostalgia.
Upon hearing this, Su Qingge's pretty face instantly flushed with anger, and she let out a soft snort.
"How could I not remember? You were incredibly arrogant back then, bringing a bunch of cronies to snatch the Su family's bid in front of all the media, and even saying that I, Su Qingge, am only fit to carry your shoes for the rest of my life."
"After that incident, the whole capital thought we were irreconcilable enemies."
Lin Zhou gently rubbed her palm, his voice becoming low.
"But the truth is, I deliberately lost those three hundred million to you."
"The land I seized was covered in heavy metals of unknown composition; anyone who took it would lose money. And the shares I lost money reselling were all precisely taken over by your backers."
The truth was revealed at that moment.
Su Qingge was completely stunned. She recalled that night when Lin Zhou climbed through her bedroom window in the middle of the night.
She had initially thought he was there to mock her, but instead he simply leaned wearily on her shoulder and whispered, "The plan is going smoothly."
At the time, she didn't understand what it meant.
Looking back now, that wasn't a business bet at all.
Those were clearly two top geniuses.
They are transferring massive assets in front of a terrorist organization like the K organization, through this humiliating confrontation.
"So, the so-called 'marrying into another family' and the so-called 'good-for-nothing'."
Su Qingge's voice trembled slightly, her eyes filled with amazement.
"Is it all to make the K organization think that I've completely 'exiled' you, turning you into a harmless, brain-dead son-in-law?"
"clever."
Lin Zhou pinched her cheek approvingly.
"Only by making you the unapproachable, aloof female CEO, and me becoming that worthless piece of trash."
"Only those rats hiding in the gutter would think that the two of us could never work together."
"Only in this way will you be absolutely safe."
Hearing these words, Su Qingge's bitterness completely transformed into extreme sweetness.
She originally thought that those seven years were her one-sided protection of a fool.
But they didn't realize that the "fool" was before he became a fool.
They had already frantically built a defensive fortress for her that spanned seven years.
"Lin Zhou, you're so mean."
Su Qingge glared at him playfully, but her ears were already burning red.
"Do you know how many disdainful looks I endured from socialites back then, just to cooperate with you in this play?"
"They all say that I'm degrading myself by sticking with a good-for-nothing."
Lin Zhou laughed heartily, reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace in a domineering manner.
"So, I'm awake now, aren't I?"
"I will make those who once looked down on you kneel before you and apologize."
Sunlight streamed into the ward through the window, its golden rays outlining the silhouettes of the two embracing.
The oxygen sensor in the ward emitted a slight hissing sound.
The excitement of a long-awaited reunion was intensely palpable in the air.
Lin Zhou looked at his wife, whose face was flushed, in his arms.
His fingers slowly moved to Su Qingge's delicate earlobe.
There is a tiny mole there.
"Qingge".
His voice was low, carrying a dangerous and aggressive quality unique to men.
Su Qingge felt a warm touch on the tip of her ear, and her body trembled violently as she shyly tried to dodge away.
"You...you've just regained your memory, don't move around."
Lin Zhou did not let go.
He gently stroked her burning earlobe.
The movements were gentle, yet conveyed an undeniable intimacy.
"Speaking of which, you were really into those 'humiliating' scenes back then."
"Especially at that charity gala in Beijing."
Mentioning that incident.
Su Qingge's face instantly turned red from her earlobes to the roots of her neck, as if she were on fire.
"You...you have the nerve to say that! That time was really too much!"
"Is that too much?"
Lin Zhou lowered his head and whispered a suggestive breath into her ear.
"I remember that night, in front of everyone, I 'accidentally' spilled a whole glass of red wine on you."
Then you angrily slapped me across the face.
Su Qingge lowered her head shyly, her voice barely audible.
"That...that's the code you taught me, isn't it? You said that if someone is watching from the shadows, splashing red wine means 'leave immediately'."
"yes."
Lin Zhou's fingers slid down her earlobe to the side of her neck.
His tone became playful, full of the lethargy and mischief that comes with recovering from a serious illness.
"But I didn't teach you to slap someone so hard."
"and."
"When you were wearing a soaking wet white dress, waiting for me in the dressing room."
"You called me scum, but you put your hands around my neck."
Su Qingge was so embarrassed she felt like she wanted to disappear into the ground.
She desperately covered Lin Zhou's mouth, her eyes almost overflowing with shyness.
"Lin Zhou! Shut up! That was... that was to check if you were injured!"
Lin Zhou mischievously licked her palm.
As panic filled those peach blossom eyes, he lowered his voice and chuckled:
"Really? Then in the locker room, under the guise of an 'argument,' who initiated the kiss?"
"Qingge, what happened in that dressing room, you also think it was... an act?"
