Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 222: The Delicate Cousin Girl vs. the Upright and Brave Cousin (16)

Zhou Qian looked towards the backyard in the Shen Mansion compound, and all he could think of was Shen Shuyi's tearful words, "After Lingshan Temple, I don't want to call you cousin anymore."

He said not to call himself cousin just because he was angry, so why did he say cousin Shuyi?

The helpless and sad look in his cousin's eyes bothered him. If he hadn't known that she always respected him as a brother, Zhou Qian would have almost thought that his cousin Shuyi liked him after hearing her ambiguous words.
Putting this ridiculous idea aside, Zhou Qian thought again of the magic bow that Shen Shuyi gave him. If he really regarded him as a brother, would she give him such a sincere and precious gift?
With his mind wavering, Zhou Qian subconsciously took a few steps forward and happened to run into the maid from the Shen residence.

"Young Master, is there anything you need?" Chunxi stepped forward.

Zhou Qian hesitated, then asked, "Is your daughter free?"

Chunxi remembered the young lady's instructions and replied respectfully, "The young lady was frightened these days and is not feeling well, so she went to bed early."

"Please take good care of your daughter. I will have someone send some nourishing herbs over later."

"I would like to thank you on behalf of my young lady, Master."

Zhou Qian strode away and returned to the military camp. He walked to the shelf in the study where the magic bow was placed.

He took out the sandalwood box from his arms and placed it next to the magic bow. He then picked it up and walked around the bookshelf and finally hid it in the box next to the military book and locked it.

Zhou Qian took out a book on military strategy and sat down to read it, but he couldn't understand a single word.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, he had never felt such tormenting emotions before.

Having misunderstood his cousin Shuyi, should he apologize?

The words I said that day were indeed too harsh.
He also didn't understand why he was so angry that day and why he said something he shouldn't have said.

Zhou Qian stared at the military book in silence for a long time, with a heavy look on his face.

Doesn't she know that doing that kind of thing is dangerous?
With such a delicate body, what if he fails to stun the maid? What if he is discovered by others when he is giving the princess the drug?!

His cousin was very angry, so she might not see him even if he went to apologize.

It’s better to wait until she calms down before apologizing.

……

After the branch residence was settled, it was the Dragon Boat Festival, and Old Madam Zhou asked everyone to come back for a reunion dinner.

Shen Shuyi attended the event with her parents. When Zhou Qian looked up, he saw Shen Shuyi's face, which was more beautiful than a peony. She seemed more beautiful after not seeing her for a long time, and her sparkling eyes were more charming than before.

The cherry lips are like beautiful petals, and the lip beads are charming and attractive.
Zhou Qian quickly shifted his gaze, but his heart was pounding. He had never noticed these things when he saw his cousin before.

Today at the Dragon Boat Festival family dinner, for some reason I paid a lot of attention to my cousin.

Shen Shuyi felt the burning gaze, but did not look up. She only heard 66 saying that Zhou Qian and Zhou Xuanmin were looking at her.

Zhou Qian looked at her perhaps out of guilt, but why did Zhou Xuanmin look at her?
After lunch, Shen Shuyi went for a walk in the garden of the general's mansion, where he unexpectedly met Cui's mother and daughter.

Zhou Ningxiang greeted her when she saw her, "Cousin, are you here to enjoy the flowers too?"

"My eldest brother recently brought back a few pots of peonies, and they look pretty nice."

"Come out for a walk." Shen Shuyi stepped forward and greeted Cui, "Aunt."

Cui didn't have a good impression of this former future daughter-in-law, who was delicate and weak. She glanced at the peonies in full bloom.

"He is not good at studying, so he can only be a military commander. He didn't buy a precious peony. How beautiful can this ordinary peony be?"

"Unlike Wen Jing, who has been studying hard these days, he doesn't have the time to buy these toys."

How could Shen Shuyi not hear that this harsh aunt was mocking Zhou Qian as a rude warrior? Although she was feeling awkward with Zhou Qian now, he was undoubtedly a hero who protected his country and his family and was worthy of respect.

As a citizen of the State of Chu, she naturally could not stand by and watch others slander Zhou Qian.

"What do you mean by that, aunt?" "If the flowers are not pretty, you can choose not to look at them, but why are you mocking my cousin for being a warrior who can't read?"

Shen Shuyi's words were so blunt that Zhou Ningxiang opened her mouth slightly in surprise.

Cui's expression suddenly changed. This cousin who had always been docile and always tried to please her was actually openly confronting her?!
Shen Shuyi was not afraid of Cui. She said righteously, "The glory of the state-guarding general's mansion was earned by the blood of Zhou's ancestors. They fought bravely on the battlefield and were heroes in defending their country."

"My aunt and my second cousin both enjoy the honor of the general's mansion, but what's the meaning of stepping on my eldest cousin?"

"In Shuyi's eyes, my cousin is a hero with a strong character and will not tolerate slander from others. Aunt, please be careful with your words in the future."

"You! You, you Shen Shuyi!" Cui was so angry that her face turned blue. Zhou Ningxiang was afraid that the matter would get out of hand and be known by her grandparents, so she quickly hugged her mother's arm.

"Mom, calm down. Today is a family dinner."

Zhou Ningxiang said to Shen Shuyi again: "Cousin, you misunderstood. That's not what my mother meant."

Shen Shuyi didn't want to give Cui any way out, and she kept a cold face until Cui left in anger.

Unexpectedly, she ran into Zhou Qian just after she reached the rockery. Zhou Qian had been chasing her and wanted to apologize, but he couldn't show up because his second aunt and sister were present.

Shen Shuyi walked around him and left, and Zhou Qian subconsciously reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"General Zhou, what do you want to see me about?" Shen Shuyi raised his hand, and Zhou Qian immediately let go.

His eyes fell on the white jade earring on Shen Shuyi's earlobe, "Didn't you just call me cousin?"

"I wasn't calling you just now." Shen Shuyi looked at the man in front of him, "If nothing else, I'll leave."

Zhou Qian met her distant gaze, and suddenly a secret pain arose in his heart.

"and many more."

"This is for you." He took out a sandalwood box from his arms and handed it to Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi glanced at it but didn't reach out to take it. He just said, "Is it a return gift?"

"General Zhou, you don't have to be so polite. I'm giving you the divine bow just to express my gratitude for saving my life at Lingshan Temple."

Zhou Qian froze in place, looking at her gradually receding back, the sour feeling in his heart becoming stronger and stronger.

……

That night, when Shen Shuyi covered himself with the quilt and was about to fall asleep, System 66 suddenly made a sound.

[Host, why did you refuse Zhou Qian's gift today?]
Shen Shuyi was firm in his thoughts, "He has never liked any woman, and there are no women in the barracks. Combined with his upbringing, Zhou Qian may not know what it feels like to like someone."

"Even if his favorability towards me has reached 55% now, he may not know that he likes me."

[QAQ Host, you really have a long way to go! Why don’t we wait until the favorability reaches 60%, and then we can use some medicine to cure it, regardless of whether he knows how to use it or not! Anyway, we want to have a baby! Don’t worry about it and tire yourself out!]
"Give birth to a baby, give birth to a baby. What do you, a little system, know about giving birth to a baby?" Shen Shuyi pulled the quilt over her head and fell asleep.

[Host, as a 66 that has been optimized and upgraded, it is not impossible to use the strong one and remove the father and keep the son!]
Shen Shuyi held her chin with her hand. She always felt that her little son was not serious and always wanted to take the baby and run away.

However, she still likes this cute Tongzi who always cares about her.

In the dormitory of Zhou Qian’s residence in the military camp.

In bed, Zhou Qian tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
