Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Domineering CEO’s Forced Love

"You should really think about it. Maybe consider changing your attitude?" Su Zhaozhao said. "Being so forceful right now isn’t doing anything except making your relationship with your daughter more strained."

’It will only make her retreat deeper into it.’

"So you’re saying I should just indulge her? Let her do whatever she wants?"

"Not exactly," Su Zhaozhao said. "You need to guide her. She likes reading novels, right? You can tell her that many authors are either incredibly experienced in life or exceptionally knowledgeable. For example, a lot of authors today..."

Su Zhaozhao gave an example: "They have to read a ton of books to be able to write good stories. You can guide her in that direction."

"And about her trouble with math, if she really can’t get the hang of it, I suggest finding someone to tutor her."

"Well..." Li Lianxin frowned at Su Zhaozhao’s suggestion. "Sigh, where would I even find a tutor? Yanyan only comes home once a week, and now that she’s a senior, her schedule will only get tighter."

"I could ask Wei Chuan and see if he’s willing."

Su Zhaozhao thought this was just too perfect. Li Weichuan was great at math, and he could also benefit from interacting with more people.

’If I can convince Li Weichuan to tutor her, that would be for the best.’

"But... wouldn’t that be a problem? The boy from Chairman Li’s family—didn’t they say he has some psychological issues?"

"He’s almost fully recovered. If you’re willing, I can ask him for you."

"Okay... Thank you. Um, your name is Zhaozhao, right?" Li Lianxin looked at Su Zhaozhao gratefully.

Su Zhaozhao nodded.

"Thank you so much! Oh, my, you’re around the same age as our Yanyan. You’re welcome to come over to our house anytime. You two could become good friends."

Hearing this, Su Zhaozhao smiled at Li Lianxin. "I’d like that. I think she and I will get along just fine."

’After all, she loves novels so much that her love for them got her transmigrated into a novel’s world.’

’Thinking about it, I could probably make money in this world by writing novels.’

’Publishing all those web novels I’ve read in this era would certainly be shocking, wouldn’t it?’

But the thought of dealing with so many words was exhausting, so Su Zhaozhao temporarily gave up on the idea.

After Li Lianxin left, Su Zhaozhao collapsed onto the sofa. Full from her meal and tired from the long analysis session with Li Lianxin, she was feeling a bit drained.

But now that she was alone, she found herself missing Xie Huaizheng.

’Looks like I really need to keep myself busy.’

Otherwise, whenever she had a moment to herself, Su Zhaozhao would inevitably start thinking about Xie Huaizheng.

’I wonder where Xie Huaizheng is now and if his mission is going smoothly.’

And then she’d start worrying about him.

’No, no, I have to interact with people more, do more things, and keep myself busy. Then I won’t be lost in these random thoughts all the time.’

「The next day」

After class, Su Zhaozhao went to Li Lianxin’s house to find her.

Li Lianxin was overjoyed to see Su Zhaozhao.

"Zhaozhao, you’re here! Come in, have a seat!"

Su Zhaozhao walked in, and Li Lianxin pulled her over, pointing to a room. "Yanyan’s in there. She always locks herself in her room now. She’ll only come out to eat and refuses to leave at any other time. It’s driving me crazy with worry!"

Hearing Li Lianxin’s words, Su Zhaozhao quickly said, "Don’t you worry. I’ll go talk to her."

"Why don’t you sit for a bit? I’ll get you a glass of water."

Su Zhaozhao shook her head. Then, she walked to Zhou Yanyan’s door and raised her hand to knock.

The door didn’t open, which proved Zhou Yanyan wasn’t welcoming visitors.

But Su Zhaozhao was the type to warm up to people quickly. If Zhou Yanyan wasn’t going to open the door, that was fine. She’d just open it herself.

With that thought, Su Zhaozhao pushed the door open.

To her surprise, the door wasn’t even locked.

When Su Zhaozhao opened the door, she saw Zhou Yanyan sitting at her desk, writing something.

The room was so quiet she could even hear the SCRITCH-SCRATCH of Zhou Yanyan’s pen.

Hearing the noise at the door, Zhou Yanyan looked up. She seemed a little surprised to see Su Zhaozhao.

But her face showed little emotion. She just frowned at Su Zhaozhao and asked, "Did my mom send you to talk me down?"

In her eyes, the girl in front of her was quite pretty and very young, looking even younger than herself.

But even if she was a peer, if she was here to be a mouthpiece for her mom, Zhou Yanyan had no intention of being friendly.

Su Zhaozhao immediately broke into a smile. "Not at all! I’m actually a huge novel fan myself. When your mom told me you write novels, I was so surprised. It’s the first time I’ve ever heard of someone I know actually writing them. So, I came to see what a real author looks like."

Su Zhaozhao’s words were completely heartfelt. Her eyes sparkled, her face was full of sincerity, and you could feel that she meant every word she said.

Sure enough, after hearing Su Zhaozhao’s words, Zhou Yanyan’s cold expression almost cracked.

She looked at Su Zhaozhao in disbelief and asked hesitantly, "What?"

She didn’t seem to believe that Su Zhaozhao had truly come because she admired her.

’I’ve only just started writing. I haven’t even gotten far from the beginning, but Su Zhaozhao heard I write novels and came to find me?’

Many of her classmates’ parents considered reading novels a waste of time, let alone writing them.

They saw it as something for weirdos.

"I really do read novels. I’ve read a ton of them—mystery novels, romance novels, horror novels." After walking in, Su Zhaozhao casually closed the door behind her.

’Being in a closed space would make the other person feel more secure.’

’Especially since this was a space she was familiar with. Only when the other person let her guard down could I get closer.’

And just as she planned, after hearing what Su Zhaozhao said, Zhou Yanyan, though still a bit suspicious, seemed to be slowly letting her guard down.

"You’ve read that many genres of novels?"

Su Zhaozhao nodded. "Yep. What kind of novels do you like to read?"

"I like reading romance novels."

That wasn’t surprising. A young girl’s heart... Girls this age were always dreaming of their own epic love story.

And during this period, those romance novels were precisely in their boom phase.

"Really? Then what kind of romance novels do you like?" Su Zhaozhao asked her. "I’ve read quite a few myself. You know, the domineering CEO’s possessive love, the stoic, untouchable CEO, and even the really steamy kind..."

Su Zhaozhao thought about all the romance novels she had read before—there were just so many! She even had a huge pile of them in her interdimensional space right now.

When it came to novels, she could talk endlessly.

Zhou Yanyan, on the other hand, was stunned. The terms tumbling out of Su Zhaozhao’s mouth were things she didn’t quite understand.

But it seemed... she had read some of them herself.
