583: Chapter 97: I Choose to Push Dusk into Darkness, As for Dawn?_2 583: Chapter 97: I Choose to Push Dusk into Darkness, As for Dawn?_2 Think about it, if we mess up the deal with Home Treasures, how dire will the future be.

I should have dragged you away from the start, but not only did I fail to do that, I even staked Shanhaiguan and gambled with you that we could win.

Daqi, you…

Ah Zhao, after all, she’s only nineteen, her courage propelling her forward, but she’s still afraid.

Cheng Daqi shook his head and said.

“Enough with the depressing talk, you still don’t understand what I mean, Ah Zhao, by any means necessary I meant, you’re willing to sacrifice some of what you hold on to, I was complimenting you.

Many people in power like to shout ‘by any means necessary,’ but they always push others into the fire pit, you step into it yourself.

I’m afraid you won’t be able to get out, so I just wanted to help you, nothing more.”

Upon hearing Cheng Daqi’s words, Ah Zhao paused, realizing that Cheng Daqi was the one who had already stepped into the fire pit.

For some reason, she thought of a poem.

“How many are truly satisfied within, blessed that the kites don’t peck too soon, have we reached a point of no return?”

“Cai Ren Ai”…..

CEO Cheng was somewhat amused and exasperated; a girl’s emotional thinking sometimes leapt beyond his grasp.

“Not at all, not at all, far from it, what are you even thinking about, you’re getting too carried away!

You can still turn back, I can help you if you want to turn back, your family can help you.”

“And you?”

“Me, why should I turn back, it’s actually quite romantic to die loud, I don’t know if I can win, but with friends like you willing to help me, I at least have some confidence.”

Cheng Daqi’s openness made Zhao Hongjin feel stifled, so, she understood, she hadn’t misjudged the person, but at that moment, she wished CEO Cheng were a silver-tongued liar full of lies.

She rolled down the car window, the cold winter wind pouring in made her face sting, but she didn’t close the window, it was too oppressive inside, Zhao Hongjin wanted to catch her breath.

“Why don’t you go back home?

You’re not happy in America, go back or to a place where you can do something.

Knowing that the mountain harbors a tiger, why insist on going to such a mountain, don’t you think?”

With the back of her head to Cheng Daqi, Zhao Hongjin’s affection for this man surpassed everything else for the first time.

Maybe it wasn’t love, but a kind of unbearable feeling seeing a companion stuck in the mire.

No more going forward, let’s stop here, Daqi.

Like Temir, Ah Zhao also advised him to back down.

CEO Cheng was rarely counseled in his actions, but last time during the Patriotic North affair, Brother Sun and Ah Zhao simultaneously advised him to back down.

Now, regarding what he was persistent about and aspired to, Temir and Ah Zhao once again unanimously advised him to back down.

“It depends on the specifics of the issue.

First, let’s talk about what kind of tiger it is and how much it weighs.

Additionally, I need to consider if I have a weapon in hands.

If it’s a small Sumatran tiger, weighing only a hundred kilograms, and I have a suitable weapon, I might actually take on the challenge.”

Cheng Daqi was referring back to Zhao Hongjin’s previous counter to him — using one’s own spear against one’s own shield, so to speak.

Zhao Hongjin certainly wouldn’t forget what she had said, she opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and sighed.

“So we’re just struggling, I can’t stand to see you struggling in pain.”

“With you here, I’m not in pain, hahaha.”

Ah Zhao curled her lips, choosing to retort in her own way.

“Daqi, are you confessing to me?”

The situation suddenly branched off at an unexpected turn, Cheng Daqi held Ah Zhao’s hand, looked down to study her nails, and firmly replied.

“Of course, Miss Zhao Hongjin, will you be my girlfriend?”

It didn’t take him long to decide.

Redness spread across her cheeks, and Zhao Hongjin felt as if her consciousness had left her body.

Damn it, I shouldn’t have spoken carelessly just now!

“That’s too fast, you, we…”

CEO Cheng and Zhao Hongjin hadn’t talked much about feelings, their past interactions had always been in the mode of friends, today’s developments indeed moved too quickly.

However, Cheng Daqi had always been clear about what he wanted.

He shook his head, smiling as he said.

“Didn’t you post our group photo and the photo of me cooking for you on your short video account?

Fans are saying I’ve started playing the field.

This won’t do, I, Cheng Daqi, stand upright and sit straight, I’m not that kind of person, you’ve caused me such trouble…

Ah Zhao, you wouldn’t want me to be distressed, would you?”

Zhao Hongjin’s mind was pretty much frozen, but Cheng Daqi’s words triggered her response mechanism, she instinctively explained.

“Mi’er also posted you at her place…

Ah, I don’t know what to say.”

No regrets after the deed, CEO Cheng gritted his teeth and charged ahead.

“So, there are many reasons to refuse, many reasons to agree, I leave the choice to you.

I know this is rather sudden and impolite, but it seems I can’t find another you in this world.

Ah Zhao, you are important to me, you’re smart and hardworking, beautiful and bright, no, not for these reasons, these aren’t too important.

I mean, in my heart, you are very important, Ah Zhao.”

The car fell silent, Cheng Daqi felt a bit at a loss, this was his first time expressing love to someone since his rebirth—he couldn’t ignore his feelings for Zhao Hongjin buried deep inside.

Just like he said, he couldn’t find another Zhao Hongjin.

This girl accompanied him through starting a business, supported him, worked tirelessly for him, shared his aspirations…

and was so lovely and charming.
