She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 120 Sudden Confession

Ji Shuyin didn't know what had happened, but judging from his appearance, something was definitely wrong.

"Okay, come in."

Since they're already at my doorstep, I should definitely let them in.

I took two small stools and sat down by the window.

She went back into the house and poured a glass of water for him.

"Zhou Zhiqing, what's wrong? You don't seem to be behaving properly!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chaoyang sighed.

"Shuyin, to be honest, I haven't slept well these past two days."

I mustered up the courage to come and ask you this today.

It's related to her, so what could it be?

The two of them didn't seem to have much interaction.

"What is it? Tell me!"

The more open and honest she was, the more conflicted Zhou Chaoyang felt.

However, since things have come to this point, the questions that need to be asked should still be asked.

"Just two days ago, when we were handing over grain to the county government, Jiang Shi'an said he was pursuing you."

Are you two dating?

He finally asked the question; he was so nervous that he was clutching the hem of his clothes tightly.

Oh, so that's what it is.

No, you weren't there at the time.

"Gu Yuncheng was being too aggressive, and Jiang Shi'an said that on purpose to protect me."

When he received a negative answer, Zhou Chaoyang's eyes lit up.

"Oh, I see. So you two were dating!"

She was so excited that she felt a little embarrassed.

"Isn't your reaction a bit excessive?"

Ji Shuyin didn't understand how it turned out like this.

The other person clearly didn't care; looking into her eyes, they suddenly became serious.

“I didn’t go with you that day, but I know you were wronged.”

"I'll find a way to teach Gu Yuncheng and Tang Weiyu a lesson. You don't need to worry about anything."

At this point, she was even more confused, as the two of them didn't seem to be that familiar with each other.

“Zhou Zhiqing, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don’t need to get involved.”

Those two aren't good people; there's no need for them to get into trouble.

She meant well, but who knew that Zhou Chaoyang would refuse to do it?

He stood up abruptly, which startled her.

"How can that be? Your business is my business. How can I stand idly by?"

After saying this, the person realized that he might have been presumptuous.

Just then, Ji Shuyin also stood up.

Looking at that radiant face, I actually felt a little embarrassed.

He scratched his head, then spoke up.

"Comrade Ji Shuyin, actually, I had a very good impression of you when I first met you."

You are beautiful, resilient, and indomitable. You are courageous in fighting for your rights and battling against evil forces.

I, I…"

Having said that, she already had a vague idea.

The other person let out a long sigh, as if they had made up their mind.

"I like you, Comrade Ji Shuyin."

"Excuse me, would you like to be my girlfriend?"

After saying that, he looked at the other person with an expectant expression.

To be honest, Zhou Chaoyang is good-looking, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looks particularly masculine.

It's completely different from Jiang Shi'an's aloofness.

Seeing the expectant look in the other person's eyes, she felt very awkward.

"Um, Zhou Zhiqing, I'm sorry."

I'm not planning on dating right now, so I probably can't agree to your request.

Yes, she has many other things to do, such as love and romance, which are not currently being considered.

Upon hearing this, the other party was inevitably a little disappointed, but it was also within expectations.

He smiled slightly, a hint of bitterness in his expression. "Actually, I knew all along that you wouldn't agree to my request."

But if I don't say it, I'm afraid I won't have another chance.

You're so outstanding, there must be many people who like you.

I hope that when you're looking for a partner in the future, you'll consider me.

This……

Why does it sound like she's a jerk?

"Zhou Zhiqing, I can't say for sure about matters of the heart."

You are a very good comrade and have a bright future ahead of you.

I also hope that you will soon meet that person who is your soulmate.

That was a polite way of rejecting him, and he could tell.

He nodded helplessly, then smiled with relief.

"Okay, Comrade Ji Shuyin, thank you."

I also hope that in the future, you will meet a gay man who you like and who also likes you very much.

The two looked at each other for three seconds, and both could see the sincerity in each other's eyes.

"Okay, let me lend you some good words."

After saying that, Zhou Chaoyang left.

When I got to the door, I ran into Jiang Shi'an.

"you win."

After leaving those words, the person departed, and Ji Shuyin arrived at the door.

"When did you get here? Why didn't you come in?"

Jiang Shi'an's heart has also experienced ups and downs, but he is in a good mood now.

He reached out and took out a carp.

"I brought you fish. I didn't know Zhou Zhiqing was here. I overheard your conversation. I'm sorry."

Yes, he was so nervous at the time, and too embarrassed to go in.

"It's okay, it's all in the past anyway."

I don't want this fish, you can keep it for yourself.

She suddenly realized that if love and romance were involved, the relationship would become complicated.

It's the same with Zhou Chaoyang, and it's the same with Jiang Shi'an.

Upon hearing this, he quickly offered an explanation.

"I caught this myself in the pond. I've already told Huang Chunjing, Feng Jinghuan knows, and Yang Leyu knows too."

"Let's go to my house together later and have a nice meal."

"So, you're not here to deliver fish, but to deliver a message?"

Jiang Shi'an nodded, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"Okay then, I'll be there in a bit."

If everyone goes together, then it's fine; just treat it as a regular dinner party.

I won't come for nothing; I'll bring some cured meat over later, so it'll be a nice addition to my meal.

"By the way, there's something I don't know if I'm overthinking it."

Upon hearing what she said, Jiang Shi'an quickly asked.

"what happened?"

"It was today that I met Chen Baosheng in the county town."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man immediately tensed up.

Did he do anything to you? Were you hurt?

Um, I got a little excited.

No, he didn't see me.

However, that's not the point. The point is that I saw him with Tang Weiyu.

The two seemed to be discussing something, saying something like, "Just let things pass according to the schedule."

Logically speaking, the two of them shouldn't have any connection!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi'an shook his head, denying her statement.

"They have no connection, but they both have a common enemy, which is you."

Upon hearing this, Ji Shuyin realized what was going on, as she herself had thought the same thing.

"So, they conspired together to get back at me?"

"It's very possible, or they might be after Huang Chunjing."

Chen Baosheng had always harbored lustful intentions towards her, so this explanation is plausible.
