The first night Ling Chan stayed at Zhao Xuchang's house.
After Zhao Xuchang cleaned her room and returned to his room, messages from Qi Yingzhou kept popping up on the screen of his mobile phone.
Qi Yingzhou unlocked it and scrolled to the information page. The latest message was: [You must come to be my best man at our engagement party! 】
The system prompt next to it shows: 21 new messages
Zhao Xuchang turned to the top.
The first message Qi Yingzhou sent was: [Have you unlocked it? It won’t be solved for a while, so don’t worry. 】
The second article is: [I want to share good news with you, I am going to have a wife! 】
[Although the engagement party has not yet been held, my future wife is also my wife! 】
[Originally I wanted to tell you about this when I got home, but it turned out that you were living in a world of two, so I didn’t want to disturb you. 】
[She is sweet, cute, and super considerate! You don’t even know how much you like me! 】
There were a lot of compliments and comments about showing off my fiancée, but I only had the first one when I asked about the tablet.
Zhao Xuchang was a little funny, and he was very happy for Qi Yingzhou.
Qi Yingzhou has worked hard since he was a child, and his behavior after discovering his bloodline has been nothing short of a disaster. Nowadays, it is really difficult to find someone he likes to get married to.
Zhao Xuchang said sincerely: [Congratulations. 】
Qi Yingzhou accepted the order: [She is traveling now. When she comes back, I will formally introduce you to her, even though you have already met. 】
Zhao Xuchang: [Have I seen it? who is it? 】
Qi Yingzhou: [Lingchan! I said it was so obvious! She is the cutest girl in the world, and I am not exaggerating...]
Qi Yingzhou sent a lot of words of congratulations.
Zhao Xuchang could not read a single word.
He tightened his fingers and was in a daze. After pressing and holding the side of the phone for ten seconds, the phone automatically turned off.
He clasped his fingers until blood dripped from his fingers.
Is Lingchan's fiancé Qi Yingzhou? Why is it Qiyingzhou? His heart was in turmoil, but he pretended to be calm in front of Lingchan.
Lingchan didn't notice anything strange about him.
Maybe it wasn't that his acting skills were so good, but that Ling Chan never really took him in her eyes and observed him carefully.
…
"Are you also afraid that your new fiancé will find out you've been with another man?"
Zhao Xuchang's eyes wandered over Lingchan's face, carefully, as if he wanted to peel off the surface texture of the skin and see the sincerity buried under the flesh and blood.
Now, will Lingchan take him seriously?
Not only the chess pieces and tools, but also Zhao Xuchang himself.
Lingchan tilted her head, but the expression on her face was still so innocent, "Why do you ask that? I will be very sad if you speculate on me like this!"
Zhao Xuchang's hand held the umbrella harder, his joints turned white, "Aren't you even going to pretend?"
He is really very keen, or in other words, he spent a lot of time guessing Lingchan's words and deeds.
"If you weren't guilty, you would have picked it up and scolded me now." Instead of being so calm.
Zhao Xuchang understood very well what Lingchan's different reactions represented and what she was thinking.
"Why should I feel guilty?" Lingchan disagreed and said casually, "Qi Yingzhou is not my fiancé yet, it's just that his mother and my mother made a private agreement."
She was confident.
Zhao Xuchang felt as if he was drowning in her unfocused eyes.
He took a deep breath, "Did you choose me to get back at him?"
"So what if it is, so what if it's not?" Lingchan smiled: "You are so smart, why don't you guess it yourself?"
Zhao Xuchang clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were exposed. He felt hesitant and bitter, but he still chose to continue asking: "...When he came back to the amusement park today, was it also the news you revealed to her?"
Let Chan be quiet.
There was no need to deny it, she simply said: "Didn't you already guess the answer?"
Zhao Xuchang's face turned pale and his lips were pursed tightly, as if he was suppressing something, "You have finished using me... Then I will leave first."
He rarely spoke sharply and said sarcastically: "You don't have to waste your time trying to make excuses with me."
He turned and left.
Holding the flower balloon in her hand, Hua Xin's smiling eyes were missing a few points, looking like a huge crying face.
Lingchan stood there.
Only she knew that she had softened her heart.
In a normal script, she should let Qi Yingzhou happen to see her and Zhao Xuchang being sweet.
This can stimulate Qi Yingzhou the most and make him feel grudge against his best friend.
…
Lingchan sat on the chair and stared at the crisp tube in his hand in a daze.
The ice cream ball above had already fallen during the run.
Chan was eating the crispy cones.
After taking a few bites, Qi Yingzhou came over.
He was so angry that before he came over, the question came first, "Who was that person with you just now?"
Lingchan took a bite of the crispy tube with an indifferent expression.
She lowered her eyes and turned a deaf ear.
Qi Yingzhou gritted his teeth, leaned forward with his upper body, and put his hands on Lingchan's shoulders. This was a restraining posture, "We are about to get engaged, why are you doing this?"
In addition to the overwhelming anger, there was also a slight tremor in his voice, like uncontrollable sadness.
"Are we about to get engaged?" Lingchan sneered, "Who asked me?"
Qi Yingzhou was stunned and said angrily: "Mrs. Jiang has already agreed! And you said you don't like Huo Jiuke and want to terminate the engagement with him!"
"Just because I don't like Huo Jiuke doesn't mean I like you!"
Lingchan's voice finally became louder.
She gritted her teeth and glared at Qi Yingzhou, "Are you going to get engaged to my mother or to me? You know you have to ask her, why don't you come and ask my opinion?"
As Lingchan spoke, she gasped violently, her face lit up with anger, and the water in her eyes became brighter and brighter.
So, did Lingchan run away from home?
Qi Yingzhou was silent for a while and said, "I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry I ignored your opinion."
Rough, calloused fingers carefully wiped the tears from the corners of Lingchan's eyes with gentle force, as if they were afraid that their rough fingertips would rub Lingchan's tender skin red.
The young man's eyes were focused on Ling Chan. His face turned red. He took a step away and squatted in front of Ling Chan. Qi Yingzhou asked, "If I ask you now, will you marry me?"
"I do not want to."
Ling Chan said calmly.
Qi Yingzhou's face turned ugly again.
But before he could speak, Lingchan said, "If you use the power of the Huo family to oppress my parents and the Jiang family, of course I can't resist. Jiang Lingchan can only be your fiancée."
"But abandon those external things, Jiang Lingchan doesn't like you."
"I don't want to marry you. I hate that you use your power to force me. I hate that you don't respect me at all."
