Chapter 385
"Hmph." Zoya folded her arms around her knees. "In terms of cursing, I'm not a match for you, Ragib."
Ragib glanced at her.
There was a complicated look in his eyes.
"But I'm not that angry today." Zoya paused and buried her face in her arms. "Anyway, thank you for what happened in my newspaper this afternoon... thank you for sending someone in."
Otherwise, if Zendaya did not leave, there would be quite a commotion. Ragib looked at her and was a little surprised.
This woman always had thorns all over her body and was confident and arrogant. He had never seen her so frustrated.
Ragib was dressed in a black leather coat, which made his body look even taller. He sneered, "So, are you really the daughter of Commander?"
"You can say it, or you can say it's not," Zoya said, "but did call him Dad."
"If I don't admit it, I'm sure you'll know." Zoya understood. "After all, you'll let others come in. They must have seen Zendaya coming to my newspaper. With Ragib's experience and contacts, you must have guessed my identity when you see her."
"There's no need to check it out."
Ragib didn't say anything, he acknowledged it silently.
Zoya sighed. "Let me put it this way. My mother is my second wife. My mother has guided the company from outside. In fact, I have... no blood ties with the family."
"Oh?" Ragib gave an unclear smile.
"Of course." Zoya tightened her fingers around her arms and grabbed the shirt on her arm. "He is only my stepmother, and Zendaya is his daughter. I left the house because | fell out with the family."
"So, when you and Zendaya graduated from the First Army Medical College, you gave up your job and became a small reporter?" Ragib laughed disdainfully, as if he was laughing at her stupidity.
Zoya was very surprised.
Ragib saw that Zendaya was well aware of the relationship between her and the family. She could understand. However, she did not expect Ragib to even know about this...
"I don't regret it." Zoya snorted. "I don't regret my choice."
"Is that so?"
"I'm fine now. I'm working and living my own life. I don't have to rely on them. Besides, it's just a matter of the past few years. I don't want to mention it anymore."
"I am not interested in bringing up other people's past either." Ragib said.
"However," Ragib said, "didn't you ask me why I was following you?"
Zoya was stunned for a moment. She looked at his whole body and smiled. "Why, do you admit that you are following me now?"
Ragib's face froze and he did not answer her question. "Do you have a boyfriend?"
"What is it?"
Zoya suspected that she had heard it.
Ragib's face became even more unnatural. "I'm asking if you have a boyfriend. Is there a problem with your woman's ears?"
Zoya was sitting on the grass, Ragib standing beside her. with
From her upturned look, under the setting sun in the horizon, Ragib looked even more handsome and tall.
[I'm asking you if you're hungry. Don't tell me you're trying to pursue you?]
[I think he may want to chase you]
Chloe's voice was heard last night.
Zoya looked up at Ragib dumbly. "Hey, hey, hey, hey. Is that so? He really wants to..."
"You..." Zoya swallowed a mouthful of water. Her heart was pounding, but she felt a little creepy. "Why do you ask this question?"
"Why so much nonsense!" Ragib didn't want to directly ask, "Just ask what you want an answer!"
Zoya didn't know how to react.
"Speak." Ragib said one word impatiently.
Zoya snorted in her heart. She had the attitude of a grandpa when she wanted to ask other people's questions.
However...
She thought that Ragib might want to chase her, although she didn't think it was possible, and it was simply terrifying.
But what He didn't know was that his heart was accelerating a little.
"No, I didn't." Zoya crossed her arms around her legs and turned her face away.
"That's good." Ragib immediately let out a sigh of relief. "Then let me introduce you to someone."
Zoya's heart gave two loud thumps.
It seemed that even the air had changed, making it difficult for people to breathe. Their brains were tight, and the sound around the riverbank could not be heard. It automatically faded away, leaving only Ragib's pleasant voice, which seemed to be sticking close to her ear.
Something that had not been touched for a long time was affected...
"Him." Ragib coughed and cleared his throat. "He's from a military background and can be considered a noble family in the military. He fell in love with you at first sight, so he plans to pursue you. Don't worry. Although he usually acts a little like a playboy, he's serious about you. As long as you agree to be with him, I believe he'll take it to heart. He thinks that you're a very suitable person for marriage and has a very high opinion of you."
Zoya's heart continued to beat at a high speed, and the corner of her mouth was stiff with a smile.
Are you... are you talking about me?
"Really?" Zoya did not dare to look at him. She felt the skin on her face was a little hot. "Thank you. Thank you for giving me such a high evaluation. In fact, we don't have to belittle ourselves."
Even though you, Ragib, don't have a very good character.
When he was annoying, he wanted to directly strangle others to death. However, there was still merits to be learned from this.
However, when she heard that Ragib, who always told her not to appear in front of her, had missed her so much, Zoya was a little surprised.
"That's why he gave you the gift," Ragib said.
"Oh, I see."
Yesterday's pastry was here, right?
The tightening of Zoya's arms around her knees made her grip even tighter.
Ragib looked at Zoya, who had her head lowered. He could not help but feel a little annoyed. Why was this woman blushing?
"Sure enough, he is an anthomaniac!"
Wasn't it just someone chasing after her? What's there to be happy about? No one had chased after her for the rest of her life?
"So if you don't have a boyfriend, if you want one." In the end Ragib's heart was filled with frustration. "It's okay to be with him."
"Well..." Zoya did not know what to say. "It's too sudden, isn't it?"
Ragib, do you fucking know it's so sudden?
Then what else could he be happy about? "Of course, if you refused, I wouldn't say anything." Ragib humphed.
Zoya kept thinking, "You don't want me to refuse?"
"But from your current dissipated deeds, I have to consider it carefully. At least for now, I can't promise you right away. See if you have changed it. I have to check it for a period of time first!"
"If you refuse," Ragib said. "I won't force you."
"Really?" Zoya snorted and said, "It's rare for you to say something so respectful."
"What do you think I am?" Ragib frowned and said, "Even if I want to obtain some things from Chloe, I shouldn't force a woman to achieve my goal."
Huh?
Zoya's eyes stopped.
He felt something was wrong.
"Well, I've made it clear." Ragib said, "I don't have the patience to continue to follow you down, so I'll make it clear to you today. Chloe was afraid that you would continue to avoid him, so he asked me to lead the way for you. As long as you promise to date him, he will give me what I want."
"..." Zoya turned around and looked at him. "What did you say?"
"Didn't you hear me clearly?" Ragib was even angrier. "Do you want me to repeat myself? I want to ask you now, do you agree to a date with Chloe? Give a quick reply."
Zoya looked at him, but she didn't know what to do for a long time.
"I'll tell you -
"You said that you followed me for two days because... because of Chloe?" Zoya's voice changed a little. She looked at Ragib. She didn't know whether it was because the setting sun shone into her eyes that she could see a little bit of red and something as beautiful as a river.
"The person you were talking about just now is him?"
Ragib looked into Zoya's eyes. His heart, which was as hard as steel, suddenly moved.
But it was just for a second.
Then he returned to his normal state.
Why was this woman looking at him with such eyes?
Ragib looked back and did not look at Zoya. "Otherwise, what do you think? If it weren't for the thing I wanted, would I, Ragib, do such a thing for him? So what did you respond to?"
It had to be said that Zoya and Ragib were the same kind of people, at least they were the same kind of people when it came to dealing with relationships.
His mood was very calm and fast.
At that moment, she felt like a big dog had pounced on her. After eating her heart, she sighed with relief. Looking at the surface of the river, she smiled with relief.
"Very good, then I don't have to worry about this anymore." Zoya said, "Repay, right? Then I'll tell Ragib that I don't like to live in the world. I don't have any feelings for him at all."
What was this woman laughing at?
His face changed as if he was flipping through a book!
Ragib frowned and said, "So?"
"You want to get something from him, so you helped me for two days." Zoya nodded and gave him an OK gesture. "This afternoon, you sent someone to my newspaper to drive Zendaya away and solve a problem for me. Okay, I will agree with him."
Ragib's frown deepened.
Upon hearing this woman's agreement, he felt a little unhappy at the same time.
"But." Zoya raised her hand and put it on her back. "I'll tell him that I don't like him."
Ragib's gaze was fixed on the time when he stretched his back. The shirt was pulled up and his waist was exposed. It had a smooth curve and a good-looking buttocks. the side, it looked like this woman still had a vest...
Zoya turned her head and smiled. "To make an appointment with him, right? Okay, tell him, tomorrow morning at 10 am, coffee will be late."
Ragib immediately retracted his gaze. "Do as you please."
With that said, he left immediately.
Zoya looked at his back as he walked back to the car. After taking a deep breath, she breathed a sigh of relief.
That's right. Who was Ragib? Why would he come chasing after her?
Although when I heard him mention about Chloe just now, my heart ached a little... But only a little!
Seeing that the door of Ragib's car was closed, Zoya remembered the pastries he wanted to give her yesterday, so she rushed to him again.
Inside the car, Ragib's expression was indescribably complicated. Even he himself did not understand what this kind of depressing mood was... Now that this woman had agreed to the appointment with Chloe, his goal had been achieved. It was time for him to go back and open a bottle of champagne to celebrate!
"Young master?" The guard looked at his dull face. "Have you reached an agreement with Miss. Zoya?"
"All right, all right Chloe can go on a date with her tomorrow." Ragib said impatiently, "What are you waiting for? Drive."
The two guards looked at each other.
Did he really hand over his woman?
"Bang bang bang!"
Someone knocked on the car window. Ragib turned his head and saw Zoya tapping with all her might.
Ragib lowered the window and didn't say anything.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Zoya immediately said, "Is there any pastries you gave me yesterday? Actually, I like them very much. The desserter's cakes are limited to 100 portions for sale every day. I can't buy them all. Have you bought any yet?"
She promised him to go on a date with Chloe, so it was natural for her to ask for something from him!
"I didn't buy it yesterday. I'm really hot headed!"
"... Ragib frowned. "Cake?"
"Yes, yes, it's in my estate yesterday, the one that you gave me..." As she spoke, her eyes suddenly fell on the beautiful pastry box next to Ragib's seat. Her eyes suddenly lit up. "Oh, isn't that so? Give it to me, thank you!"
