Two unexpected events occurred.

After everything was completely over, it was already dark. Qu Jian'er could only try her best to get back to the Zuo family before midnight.

I was so anxious that I was out of breath the whole way.

I almost forgot to use the Wind Spell to speed things up.

Qu Jian'er, carrying her things, passed by the people sitting in the lobby having a late-night snack like the wind.

Zuo Chen's second uncle's wife frowned: "Isn't she being a bit too rude? She doesn't even greet us when she sees us."

Zuo Lao Er waved his hand casually, saying, "There must be a reason."

Madam Zuo, while having a late-night snack with others, didn't touch a single bite herself: "You have such a good temper."

Zuo Lao Er put down his chopsticks: "Xiao Chen has made up his mind. Don't you know this kid? Even his older brother can't get a word in edgewise. Even if you have objections, you have to put up with it."

Madam Zuo stood up and said, "I can't even persuade my own son to marry a girl from the Gu family. How could I dare to have any objections to my nephew, who always has his own ideas?"

She was the daughter of a collateral branch of the Black family, and marrying the second son of the Zuo family was already considered a step up for her.

But she really hoped that her son could marry someone from the Black family, and she had her eye on Sofia long ago.

Zuo Lao Er's eyes were filled with tenderness and helplessness, and he was very puzzled: "You are about to have grandchildren, why are you bringing up old stories again? They are doing quite well now."

Madam Zuo the Second did not want to acknowledge the love between Zuo Zhijing and Gu Siyu, and was only immersed in her own thoughts.

The thought of not having a suitable daughter-in-law is unbearable.

The thought of Zuo Zhijing being unintentional and Sophia being heartless, and the fact that she had no choice but to let Zuo Zhijing marry Gu Siyu with Zuo Chen's support, made her feel uneasy.

She was angry that Zuo Chen had interfered.

Even though the Gu family is one of the nine great families.

However, Gu Siyu was not valued at all.

It could even be described as a sacrifice.

This led her to believe that Zuo Chen did not want Zuo Zhijing to marry someone with an authoritative family background.

He didn't want Zuo Zhijing to block his way.

But Zuo Chen, a person whose life is dwindling, probably wouldn't have such long-term vision.

after all.

What if Zuo Chen doesn't survive one of those nights?

The Zuo family will all fall into Zuo Zhijing's hands.

These were words that Madam Zuo kept to herself and never dared to say aloud.

She looked in the direction of Zuo Chen's residence.

In his heart, he was weighing the pros and cons regarding Qu Jian'er.

Could the person Zuo Chen would care about and bring back to his old house be an ordinary celebrity?

It seems so.

She needs to investigate this thoroughly.

Qu Jian'er was unaware that she was being watched. At that moment, she was lingering in front of Zuo Chen's bedroom door.

Worried about whether the other person is asleep.

I hesitated whether to knock on the door and go in.

Then she heard the door open.

He turned his head.

Zuo Chen was wearing pajamas.

She stood at the door with a resentful look in her eyes.

Zuo Chen sighed softly and gestured for him to come in.

He didn't tell Qu Jian'er that he hadn't actually locked the door; he had left it open for someone else.

Qu Jian'er carried the things into the house.

She thoughtfully closed the door and pulled Zuo Chen's sleeve to bring him into the light.

Qu Jian'er created suspense: "I have something for you~"

That sneaky look.

They tortured Zuo Chen quite a bit.

Someone's Adam's apple moved up and down involuntarily.

Drawn by the person you long for.

The taste was indescribably sour and refreshing.

As Qu Jian'er approached.

One of the men's breathing became heavy as he greedily inhaled the other's faint scent.

Qu Jian'er, wearing high heels, tiptoed slightly.

Unaware of the change in atmosphere, she simply put a pair of glasses on Zuo Chen's nose.

Zuo Chen fell silent instantly: "..."

He sighed inwardly with regret, thinking to himself: Oh, so it was a gift for me...glasses?

Qu Jian'er looked on, eager for praise: "Even if other glasses are made of special materials, they can't compare to the runes I engraved on the side of the lenses. They can also temporarily suppress mental energy surges."

Zuo Chen felt a warmth in his heart: "Thank you, I like it very much."

It turns out that even a seemingly oblivious person can be quite observant; they knew the main reason he wore glasses.

He was about to say something more.

The person in front of him performed a magic trick, and 999 bouquets of roses appeared before them.

As Qu Jian'er spoke, she scattered flower petals: "Happy birthday to our adorable and incredibly handsome Chenchen!"

She is rough.

But it has its own kind of romance.

His boyfriend-like qualities are off the charts.

Upon learning that it was Zuo Chen's birthday, she couldn't understand why the Zuo family hadn't prepared a birthday banquet for him.

But she was Zuo Chen's best friend.

You must show your sincerity.

On her way out of the Zuo family's house, she searched for forums on "what is a meaningful gift to give on a birthday".

Since handmade items and roses were ranked first and second on the list, she immediately decided to go to the nearest eyeglasses store.

As for roses.

Back when she was wandering the world, in order to make a living, besides collecting scraps, she could even break large stones on her chest.

Can something appear out of thin air?

It'll be a piece of cake!

However, she completely overlooked a crucial issue: she seemed to have forgotten to check whether the recipient of the gift on the forum was female or male.

If we reverse the genders...

Or, Qu Jian'er will never change her rose.

A certain man's face might not be that dark.

Zuo Chen was even thinking.

What exactly went wrong?

Qu Jian'er actually treated him as her best female friend time and time again.

Although Zuo Chen was very happy.

But the severity of the problem was undeniable.

He gestured for Qu Jian'er to sit down and talk things over.
