Chiu Chiu was sleeping when she suddenly heard someone begging her for her brother's marriage.

Chirp woke up with a start.

[Zhao Xinrui? She still wants to marry her brother? Dream on!]

With a wave of her hand, a gust of wind blew by.

The offerings to the statue not far from Zhao Xinrui suddenly rolled to the ground.

The others started to panic.

"Oh no! The gods are angry!"

"Who has angered the gods?"

Someone saw Zhao Xinrui making a wish and said to her irritably, "Did you anger the gods? Go away! Get out of here!"

Zhao Xinrui said, feeling wronged, "I just made a wish!"

"Then it must be that your wish has angered the gods! Stop doing evil! Don't make any more wishes! The gods won't grant them anyway."

Just then, a thunderclap suddenly resounded in the clear sky.

Zhao Xinrui was startled.

Zhao Xinrui looked up at the sky: "God, do you also disagree with me being with Junlin?"

Chirp nods its head like a chick pecking at rice.

【Yes, that's right! I don't want to!】

Several more flashes of lightning streaked across the sky.

A bolt of lightning nearly struck Zhao Xinrui.

Zhao Xinrui screamed in fright and ran away, covering her head.

Chiu Chiu was laughing so hard she was doubled over inside the house.

Zhao Xinrui ran all the way home.

At that moment, a group of people from the Zhao family were waiting for her.

Zhao Xinrui's father: "Xinrui, you're back just in time. This is Young Master Yan! Look how many betrothal gifts he brought today. You must treat him well after you marry into the family!"

Zhao Xinrui looked at a somewhat crazy man sitting in the hall.

She shook her head and said, "No, I don't want to marry him, I don't want to marry him!"

Zhao Xinrui's father said sternly, "Marriage is a matter of parental decision-making; how can you have the final say?!"

Zhao Xinrui knelt down and pleaded with her father, "Father, please don't make me marry him! I beg you!"

"It's your good fortune that Young Master Yan has taken a liking to you!"

Young Master Yan, looking rather foolish, reached out his hand to Zhao Xinrui.

Zhao Xinrui: "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

Zhao Xinrui stood up and ran away.

Zhao Xinrui's father: "Guards! Seize her and lock her in a room! She's not allowed to come out without my permission!"

servant: "Yes!"

Two servants grabbed Zhao Xinrui and locked her in a room.

Zhao Xinrui collapsed into tears.

She, who had always been proud and arrogant, never imagined that one day she would become a victim of her father's political maneuvering. She was like a pawn or an object, which happened to have some value at this time.

Her father had many daughters, so he didn't need her to leave him.

If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off sharing the joys and sorrows with Qi Junlin in the first place.

If that were the case, she would probably be married to Qi Junlin by now, with status and money, living a life of endless glory.

But...sigh!

With the nourishment of love, Qi Junlin's steps became much lighter when he went out.

He arrived at the factory as usual, where his aunt, Li Wenjuan, was waiting for him at the door.

Qi Junlin: "Aunt, why did you come so early?"

Li Wenjuan: "Junlin, you see I'm very hardworking and resilient, so please assign me some important tasks. I also want to learn something."

Qi Junlin was actually moved by her words and said, "Alright, Aunt. Come with me."

Li Wenjuan nodded and followed Qi Junlin into the factory.

Qi Junlin arranged a good job for Li Wenjuan, gave her a few instructions, and then left without giving it much thought.

Li Wenjuan was very active in the factory, and she would ask others for help whenever she didn't understand something.

She even used the title of Qi Junlin's aunt to order others around.

Everyone thought she was Qi Junlin's relative, so no one dared to offend her.

Ten days to half a month later, when Qi Junlin was not at the factory, Li Wenjuan actually acted as the boss.

The others thought she was related to Qi Junlin, but dared not speak out against it.

After inspecting the factory, Qi Junlin asked the Crown Prince for a day off.

Crown Prince: "Young Master Qi's face is rosy and he's overjoyed. Is there something good happening?"

Qi Junlin: "Your Highness, you flatter me! I am about to get engaged! Today I need to go shopping with my mother."

Crown Prince: "Engaged? That's wonderful! I wonder which family's daughter has caught the eye of Junior Tutor Qi?"

Qi Junlin: "It's Miss Han Yingying from the Han family."

Crown Prince: "Oh, I know. The Han family has impeccable family traditions, and Lord Han is a man of excellent character. Daughters from their family must be of the highest caliber in both character and appearance!"

Qi Junlin: "Thank you for your praise, Your Highness! Then I shall take my leave."

Crown Prince: "Alright! Go and get busy!"

Qi Junlin bowed to the Crown Prince and then left.

That day, when Qiuqiu heard that she was going to the street to buy engagement items for her older brother, she got up very early.

My brother is getting engaged! I want to be part of this wonderful occasion!

There were many people on the street, and Qiuqiu walked very slowly. In order not to delay things, Xiaofeng picked up Qiuqiu and carried things with Xu Ruyun on the street.

Upon arriving at a jewelry and jade shop, Xu Ruyun selected many gold and silver jewelry pieces for Han Yingying.

Chirp chirp looks around, overwhelmed by the dazzling array of goods.

Xu Ruyun took out a hairpin and asked Qiuqiu, "Does Qiuqiu like this? Mother will sell it to you!"

Chiu Chiu nodded happily: "I like it, I like it! I like everything Mommy buys!"

Xu Ruyun attached the hairpin to Qiuqiu's hair.

Xu Ruyun looked at Qiuqiu with admiration and said, "Our Qiuqiu is so beautiful!"

Chiu Chiu looked around, picked up a headdress that was prominently displayed in the shop, and asked the shopkeeper, "Is this expensive?"
