The Case of Love

Chapter 101 Acting Cute
"Oh, I'm sorry, Brother Zhou! Let me help you wipe it!" Su Xiaohan pretended to be panicked, put the wine bottle aside, and took two tissues to wipe Zhou Bicheng.

She wanted to take this opportunity to lift up Zhou Bicheng's shirt sleeves to see if there were any tattoos on his forearms. However, before she could wipe them off, Zhou Bicheng stood up.

"It's okay, Xiaohan, I'll go to the bathroom and wipe it off!"

Seeing Zhou Bicheng leave quickly, Su Xiaohan was very upset. It seemed that this plan would not work.

After a while, Zhou Bicheng came back. What made Su Xiaohan excited was that he rolled up his sleeves because his shirt was wet.

As he got closer, Su Xiaohan could vaguely see something on his forearm. However, because his sleeves were not rolled up high enough, she could only see a little bit and was not sure whether the pattern was the same as the one Xia Mo had drawn.

Seeing Su Xiaohan's expression was not right, Zhou Bicheng thought she was embarrassed because she had stained his shirt, so he smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, Xiaohan, I'll just take it to the laundry when I get back, it's easy to wash!"

Su Xiaohan smiled bitterly and thought to herself, you're really overthinking it. I got your shirt dirty on purpose.

After Zhou Bicheng returned to his seat, the waiter brought him salad and steak. He very gentlemanly helped Su Xiaohan cut the steak into small pieces.

Although Su Xiaohan was a rich girl, she didn't like western food and was a tough girl who liked to eat skewers. She always felt that the steak cut by Zhou Bicheng was not as delicious as the skewers she had with Zhou Yifeng.

After dinner, Zhou Bicheng sent Su Xiaohan home. On the way, he implicitly expressed his love for her. Su Xiaohan deliberately played dumb and pretended not to understand what he meant.

After getting off the car, she felt a chill on her back. She thought, if Zhou Bicheng was the murderer who assaulted Xia Mo and those girls, he was really good at disguising himself. The man in front of her was clearly a gentleman with a very gentlemanly demeanor.

When she returned home, Su Xiaohan thought her mother and sister were asleep, but unexpectedly, the lights were on in the living room and they were sitting on the sofa watching TV, as if they were waiting for her.

She changed into her slippers and walked over to sit next to her mother and sister.

Seeing her daughter coming back, Li Aifang asked with a smile: "How is it, Xiaohan, did Bicheng say anything to you?" She could see that Zhou Bicheng liked her daughter, and wondered if he would confess to her when they were alone together.

Su Xiaohan leaned forward, leaned against her mother and said coquettishly: "My dear mommy, I know what you are thinking, but you like Zhou Bicheng, but I don't! I have someone I like, and he is my boyfriend now!"

Su Xiaohan's words surprised Li Aifang and Su Xiaoxin. Li Aifang had always liked Zhu Nanfeng, but after knowing that her daughter had no feelings for Zhu Nanfeng and only had a brother-sister relationship with him, she stopped trying to bring them together. Since meeting Zhou Bicheng, Li Aifang was moved by his gentle and elegant temperament and his polite conversation. She thought that if her daughter could not be with Zhu Nanfeng, Zhou Bicheng would be a good choice.

She didn't expect that her daughter would reveal that she already had a boyfriend before her matchmaking plan even started.

"Su Xiaohan, you are so good. You have a boyfriend but you hid it from us!" Su Xiaoxin stood up from the sofa and reached out to pinch her sister's face.

"I'm not hiding anything from you. We just got together, and I'm telling you right now!" Su Xiaohan dodged backwards.

"Tell me, who is this person?"

Su Xiaoxin stared at Su Xiaohan, and Li Aifang also looked at her expectantly. "You have met him and you all know him. We even had dinner together last night." Su Xiaohan said, keeping it a secret.

Su Xiaoxin and Li Aifang looked at each other, and when they thought of the two men who had dinner at home the night before, they both knew who she was talking about.

"Xiao Han, you can't be so awesome that you can win over your handsome captain so quickly?" Although Su Xiaoxin had only met Zhou Yifeng a few times, she had a good impression of him. She was very satisfied to know that her sister was with him.

"What, you and your captain... kid, you are a policeman yourself, and you still want to find a policeman? I don't agree!" Compared to Su Xiaoxin's excitement, Li Aifang was full of anger.

Su Xiaohan expected her mother to react like this, so she began to use her specialties of acting cute and naughty, hugged her mother and said, "My dear mommy, what are you worried about? I'm a policeman, and your future son-in-law is also a policeman. We have two policemen in our house, so it's very safe. Who dares to bully us?"

"You two are both police officers, and you are both busy. Who will take care of the family if you get married?" Seeing her daughter's soft and cute face, Li Aifang's anger subsided by half. However, no matter what Su Xiaohan said, she didn't like the profession of police. She couldn't stop her daughter from becoming a police officer, and she couldn't let her find a police son-in-law for her.

"Mommy, don't have such old ideas! We are police officers, but we also have time to rest. Besides, don't we still have you and my sister? You can help us take care of the family!" Su Xiaohan leaned on her mother's shoulder, her voice as sweet as honey.

Li Aifang couldn't do anything about her. Seeing that it was getting late, she turned off the TV and went upstairs to rest.

Seeing her mother go upstairs, Su Xiaoxin asked, "Xiao Han, are you really with Captain Zhou?"

Su Xiaohan didn't want to hide it from her sister, so she told her that this was a plan she and Zhou Yifeng came up with together, in order to stop her mother from thinking about Zhou Bicheng. However, considering that the case had to be kept secret, Su Xiaohan didn't tell her sister that Zhou Bicheng was currently the biggest suspect in Liu Yunjia's case.

"Xiao Han, I think your captain is interested in you. He may want to make it real and become your boyfriend." After listening to her sister's account of what happened and recalling the look Zhou Yifeng gave her sister, Su Xiaoxin firmly felt that her judgment was correct.

"Sister, you think too much. Our Captain Zhou will not find a girlfriend!" Su Xiaohan blurted out.

"What? He won't find a girlfriend? What does that mean? He can't be..." Su Xiaoxin first thought of the possibility that Zhou Yifeng liked men.

"Sister, what are you thinking! He told me that he had a twin brother who disappeared more than ten years ago. He said that he and his parents swore that he would never get married until he could find his brother." In order to prevent her sister from thinking too much, Su Xiaohan told her about Zhou Yifeng's family situation.

"I didn't expect that your Captain Zhou, who looks so sunny, has such an experience. But he is quite manly. He would rather sacrifice his feelings for his brother." Su Xiaoxin sighed, and felt more admiration for Zhou Yifeng in her heart.

"Once this case is over, I will definitely help Captain Zhou find his brother." Su Xiaohan was determined.

"Yes, help Captain Zhou find his brother, for him and for yourself." Su Xiaoxin forced herself to hold back her laughter.

"Sister, what are you talking about! There's really nothing going on between Captain Zhou and me!" Su Xiaohan's face turned red with embarrassment.
