Chapter 339 Help Me One Last Time

Qu Jingyou has been busy with Xiao Ruoyi's wedding these past two days and is exhausted.

On the night of the wedding, they had dinner together and then went to sing karaoke.

It was lively with lots of people, and we had a lot of fun.

Qu Chongyou came to pick her up and take her home. It was almost two o'clock when they got home.

Qu Jingyou slept until noon the next day.

When Xiao Ruoyi called her, she had just arrived at her large apartment and was playing with Fanfan and Tuantuan.

"Sister Yiyi." She answered the phone, her voice cheerful: "You're newly married, how come you still have time to call me?"

Although the two didn't plan to go on a honeymoon, they just got married yesterday, so shouldn't they be all lovey-dovey and inseparable today?

Why did you call her?

Xiao Ruoyi smiled and said, "Even on your wedding day, you should still care about your sister. How are you? You must be exhausted. Thank you."

"Oh, why are you being so polite with me? I'm not tired at all, it's very lively, and I've made a lot of new friends."

"That's good." Xiao Ruoyi asked, "Are there any boys you're interested in? There's someone named Zhou Chulun, did he add you?"

"I didn't notice," Qu Jingyou said. "I'll check later."

Xiao Ruoyi said, "This boy has a good character. Whether it's to be friends or something else, it's worth getting to know him."

"Okay, Sister Yiyi!"

"Jingjing, I don't have anything else to say, I just hope you can have a happy relationship. If you meet a suitable boy, feel free to give it a try, okay?"

"good!"

After hanging up the phone, Huo Xianyang looked at her and asked, "Didn't you say Chu Lun wasn't good-looking enough?"

"It's still better than Lu Zuofan," Xiao Ruoyi said. "At least he doesn't have that many ex-girlfriends."

Huo Xianyang said, "These days, which man doesn't have two or three ex-girlfriends? Tell me, what's the difference between a man who has had one woman and one who has had a bunch of women?"

“Of course there’s a difference,” Xiao Ruoyi said. “What, you actually think his approach is right? Are you envious?”

"I'm not speaking up for him, I just think the reason he keeps changing girlfriends is probably because there hasn't been one who moves him. Like now, he likes Jingjing, so he'll definitely be devoted to her."

"Can you guarantee he'll stay faithful for life?"

"Look, can those men who have never had a girlfriend before guarantee that they will be faithful for life?"

Xiao Ruoyi thought for a moment and said, "That's true. Men are all the same; they can be affectionate one day and fall for someone else the next."

"Why are you generalizing about all men? Besides, you can't generalize and condemn all men based on a few examples."

Xiao Ruoyi also knew that such things varied from person to person.

There's no point in the two of them arguing.

But everyone hopes that Qu Jing is doing well, that's for sure.

Qu Jingyou also knew that her relatives and friends cared about her.

As they get older, they become concerned about their romantic relationships, whether they will get married, and whether they will have children.

Qu Jingyou felt annoyed just thinking about it.

If she has children in the future, she definitely won't put pressure on them.

When to fall in love, when to get married, when to have children—it's all up to the children.

She won't interfere.

But now she's being controlled by others.

That's so unfair!

Moreover, Qu Chongyou wouldn't let her be with Lu Zuofan.

But she couldn't find a suitable man.

I'm so worried.

When Lu Zuofan arrived, he was carrying a dessert box.

It was a small cake he made himself.

It contains chestnuts, which Qu Jingyou likes.

She loves roasted chestnuts, especially freshly roasted ones, hot, fragrant, and sweet.

Chestnut powder is also delicious in cakes.

Qu Jingyou sat on the carpet, eating and praising the food.

Lu Zuofan asked her, "Was the wedding tiring?"

"It's alright!"

Qu Jingyou found it fun, and since she was the youngest, everyone took care of her.

"Have you made a lot of new friends?"

"Yes, that's right." Qu Jing nodded. "They've all been very good to me."

"So... is there a guy you like?"

This is the key question Lu Zuofan wanted to ask.

"I like them all."

Lu Zuofan responded with an "oh".

Qu Jingyou looked at him and said, "Lu Zuofan, are you jealous? I only consider them friends. Of course, you have to like someone to be friends with them. Otherwise, who would want to be friends with them?"

"Just friends? Ordinary friends?"

Qu Jingyou put down her fork and said, "Aren't you being a little too nosy?"

Lu Zuofan hurriedly said, "I didn't mean to interfere with you, I just..."

"Just what? You can't even say it yourself, can you?" Qu Jingyou said, "We're not even together yet. Even if we are together in the future, I don't want anyone to control me."

"I know."

"Good to know," Qu Jingyou said. "I won't interfere. If we're only together to appease our families, then we'll both be free from now on, do you understand?"

Lu Zuofan tentatively asked, "So you mean, even though we're together, we can each do our own thing?"

"Don't you think it's great?" Qu Jingyou said, "Although I'm not a playful person, I don't want anyone to control me."

"If this is what it means for us to be together, then I agree to your conditions. Whatever your conditions are, I will agree to them."

"knew!"

Qu Jingyou stretched lazily.

Lu Zuofan restrained himself and looked away from her.

He had heard that Huo Xianyang and Xiao Ruoyi's wedding had several groomsmen, all of whom were tall and handsome, and all of them were interested in Qu Jingyou.

It's said that everyone wants to pursue her.

Lu Zuofan felt a sense of crisis once again.

But he was completely helpless.

For the first time, he understood the saying that God treats everyone equally in the face of love.

Yes, he's rich and powerful, but so what?

Still, I cannot get what I want.

He has money, and the Qu family has money too.

What he could get, Qu Jingyou didn't care about.

For the first time, he realized that he was completely at a loss when it came to pursuing girls.

I don't know what to do.

She invited Pei Muyi out again to drink with him.

Pei Muyi is actually very difficult to get an appointment with. Lu Zuofan might be able to get him to come out once out of ten calls.

Pei Muyi, who doesn't drink alcohol, said, "I only came because you said it was an extremely urgent matter. If you're making this up, we can't even be brothers anymore."

Lu Zuofan said, "This concerns my life's most important matter, don't you think it's extremely urgent?"

"So, things have progressed between you and Jingjing?"

Lu Zuofan said, "That's why I need your help, precisely because there's been no progress."

“You…” Pei Muye said helplessly, “What can I do to help you? You know I have no say in front of my wife.”

"Look how miserable you are."

Pei Muye said, "Don't talk about me. Even if you and Jingjing get together in the future, will you have any say in front of her?"

Lu Zuofan was speechless.

Pei Muye said, "So don't laugh at others so easily. My wife is pregnant and I have a child at home, so I'll go back first."

Lu Zuofan said, "I want to start with Qu Chongyou."

Pei Muye said, "Then I wish you success."

“But he won’t see me,” Lu Zuofan said. “Help me one last time.”
