Cold CEO's doting

After months of acting like a devoted follower, he still hadn't been able to get much closer to Shang Lan. Zhu Junjie wanted to completely win her heart but was afraid that his actions might cause her to reject him, tensioning their relationship.

"Let's talk about the marriage license later," Shang Lan said hesitantly.

Everyone around her had found happiness, but Shang Lan feared that her marriage would be a nightmare. After all, Yan Wen and Wei Sheng had never been with other women, and their reputations in that regard were good. Zhu Junjie was different; although he was no longer womanizing, he had previously been open to relationships with anyone.

She lacked confidence in him, fearing that he might revert to his old ways. "You tell me when to get the license, and we'll do it then," Zhu Junjie responded without putting any pressure on her. He continued driving towards his villa, and the car fell silent again.

"...Dad, Mom, I want to learn racing!" Tongtong suddenly spoke up, surprising both Shang Lan and Zhu Junjie. Racing was a dangerous sport! Zhu's father and mother doted on Tongtong so much that they would worry for half a day if he got a small injury. The idea of Tongtong wanting to practice racing must be kept from them; otherwise, they would definitely object.

Zhu Junjie immediately expressed his stance, "Tongtong, racing is a high-risk sport, and you're likely to get hurt. Dad can't bear to let you take such risks." "We'll talk about it some other time," Shang Lan said calmly.

In her view, Tongtong was just expressing his intention to learn and hadn't made a final decision. Children were currently at an age where they were curious about everything outside. As parents, they should respect his opinions. There was a saying that "blocking is not as good as guiding." Instead of stopping him from learning, it was better to let him try it out. If he lost interest, he would give up. If he was interested, it meant he had the desire to continue learning and would strive to do better.

"You mean if Tongtong really wants to learn, you'll support him?" Zhu Junjie asked. "Of course, I support him. It's hard to buy a child's interest," Shang Lan replied. Interest was the best teacher, and it was better to indulge a child's interests rather than force them to learn what they didn't like.

She was worried about disagreements with Zhu Junjie on education and didn't want to continue discussing the matter. "Is it my mindset that's problematic?" Zhu Junjie wondered. In his view, if a child chose something wrong, parents should point it out and ask the child to give it up or correct it.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Junjie didn't argue with Shang Lan but began to reflect on his own issues right away. Shang Lan was shocked by Zhu Junjie's reaction. In her perception, Zhu Junjie liked to "argue rationally" with her, someone who could argue for three points even when he was wrong.

Shang Lan was prepared not to respond to him if he argued with her. At this moment, she turned her head to carefully observe the man beside her. In the driver's seat, Zhu Junjie wore a dark blue suit, leaning back relaxed in his seat, staring straight ahead with a serious expression.

Although Zhu Junjie didn't have the kind of look that was immediately stunning like Yan Wen, he had his own characteristics and wouldn't be overshadowed in the entertainment circle. He was wealthy, good-looking, and had many girls throwing themselves at him, many hoping to become Mrs. Zhu. After all, Zhu Junjie was considered a talented young man in Haishi City. If she could become his wife, she would be envied by others in terms of resources and wealth.

Shang Lan felt that she was acting strangely; she had begun to ponder over Zhu Junjie's past romantic escapades in her free time. Those were things from the past, which occurred before she got together with him. If she was going to care about them, she shouldn't have agreed to date him.
