Chapter 9 "Did Yan Shi get engaged to me voluntarily?"

Jiang Nuanzhu paused, then said seriously, "It's not a conflict, it's that the engagement has been cancelled."

The smile on Ji Yi's face suddenly turned serious. "Teacher Jiang, are you serious?"

Jiang Nuanzhu was silent for a long time, her tone revealing helplessness. "Do I look like someone who would joke about his own marriage? Why are you and Yan Shi both unwilling to listen?"

Ji Yi was really shocked at this moment, "Just because of Feng Nuan?"

Jiang Nuanzhu lifted her hair that was messed up by the wind and said softly, "Ji Yi, you are Yan Shi's best friend. Let me ask you a question, and you have to tell me the truth."

"you say?"

"Did Yan Shi volunteer to be engaged to me?"

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Nuanzhu finally asked the question in her heart, but was met with Ji Yi's silence.

Jiang Nuanzhu curled her lips and smiled lightly, "You don't have to tell me, I know everything. It seems that I have been too stupid all along and couldn't see anything."

Ji Yi's throat was a little dry. "You and Yan Shi, is there really no possibility at all?"

He felt that Yan Shi was still very satisfied with his fiancée Jiang Nuanzhu.

Jiang Nuanzhu raised her right hand with the ring on it and said, "There's something I forgot to tell you. I'm married."

Ji Yi was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. After a long while, he asked, "Are you really married? Does Yan Shi know?"

"I told him, but he didn't believe me. He thought I was lying to him to force him to surrender."

Seeing Jiang Nuanzhu's calm expression, Ji Yi completely believed her words.

He couldn't help but take out a cigarette and bite it.

Jiang Nuanzhu took a step back and prepared to leave.

Ji Yi took off his cigarette and suddenly called her, "Since it's impossible for you and Yan Shi to be together, there are some things I can tell you."

Jiang Nuanzhu turned around, looking at him calmly with clear eyes, "You say."

"Yan Shi agreed to the engagement because, firstly, he was forced by his parents and, secondly, it was your name."

name?

Jiang Nuanzhu...Feng Nuan? !

Jiang Nuanzhu's pupils shrank slightly.

She originally thought that her emotions would not fluctuate because of Yan Shi, but when she heard these words, a wave of humiliation and anger surged into her heart.

Jiang Nuanzhu suppressed her anger, "So Yan Shi thinks of me as Feng Nuan's substitute?!"

"It's not that you're a stand-in, after all, you don't look like Feng Nuan at all. It was only because your name contained the character 'Nuan' that Yan Shi agreed to go on a blind date. Plus, his family kept pressuring him to get married, so Yan Shi thought it didn't matter who he married. You were more sensible than other women, so he agreed to the engagement."

Is it more sensible than marrying other women?

Jiang Nuanzhu's calm tone was filled with sarcasm: "So I should have thanked him in the first place?"

Ji Yi suddenly stopped talking.

After a moment, he said, "What Yan Shi did was indeed dishonest. You kicked him out, which was like escaping from the fire pit. But I'm his brother, so I can only stand on his side..."

"I understand. Goodbye."

Jiang Nuanzhu took a deep breath, turned and walked towards Xu Heyi's car.

Ji Yi looked at her back, sighed, and was about to drive away when he saw a man with extraordinary demeanor walking towards Jiang Nuanzhu.

Jiang Nuanzhu also took the initiative to hold the man's hand. Her every move was measured, yet a little ambiguous.

Both of them are tall and slender, with extraordinary demeanor, and they look very well matched when standing together.

Ji Yi raised his hand and touched his chin, thinking about how Jiang Nuanzhu and Yan Shi got along.

They were clearly in the same space, and they spoke and acted in an official manner as if they were doing business. They were all polite and there was no ambiguity at all.

Outsiders say that Jiang Nuanzhu is obsessed with Yan Shi and has been Yan Shi's bootlicker for three years.

Ji Yi, however, felt that Jiang Nuanzhu’s love... might be a little exaggerated.

…

As soon as he saw Jiang Nuanzhu, Xu Heyi noticed that she was in a bad mood.

Before he could say anything, Jiang Nuanzhu suddenly took the initiative to hold his hand.

Xu Heyi calmly held Jiang Nuanzhu's hand and opened the car door for her.

After Jiang Nuanzhu got into the car, Xu Heyi did not leave. He stood at the door of the car with an upright figure, lowered his head slightly, revealing his smooth profile, and his figure loomed in front of Jiang Nuanzhu.

He took Jiang Nuanzhu's glove and put on the bracelet familiarly, "What are you thinking about?"

The man's deep voice entered Jiang Nuanzhu's ears, and she came to her senses: "Did you get the bracelet?"

“On my hand.”

When Jiang Nuanzhu lowered her head, she realized that her hand was being held by Xu Heyi and the bracelet was on her wrist.

Her cheeks turned red and she subconsciously wanted to pull it back, but Xu Heyi held it tightly.

"Who did you meet just now?"

Jiang Nuanzhu suddenly quieted down and said, "Can I hug you?"

Xu Heyi said gently, "Any time."

Jiang Nuanzhu put her arms around Xu Heyi's waist and slowly buried her head in his arms.

Suddenly, a warmth came from her hair, and a gentle force stroked her head. Jiang Nuanzhu was slightly startled.

A mellow and cool fragrance wafts from the tip of the nose, like the towering mountains behind the misty mountain temple, steady, majestic, distant and indifferent.

Jiang Nuanzhu's heartstrings suddenly calmed down.

She pushed Xu Heyi away and adjusted her mood, "Sorry."

"Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

Xu Heyi could sense that Jiang Nuanzhu's mood had changed during the time he went upstairs to get something.

Jiang Nuanzhu pursed her lips.

Just when Xu Heyi thought she was not going to say anything, Jiang Nuanzhu suddenly spoke.

"I just ran into Yan Shi's childhood friend. He told me that Yan Shi agreed to get engaged to me because both my name and his ex-girlfriend's name contain the character 'Nuan', and the other reason was that his family pressured him."

Xu Heyi lowered his eyes and said, "Are you sad?"

Jiang Nuanzhu curled her lips, but found that she couldn't laugh. "No, I just feel like I've been a joke for the past three years."

"Don't say that about yourself." Xu Heyi frowned deeply: "He doesn't like you, it's because he is blind."

Jiang Nuanzhu was stunned, probably because she didn't expect Xu Heyi to comfort her in this way.

She suddenly chuckled: "Are you praising me or yourself?"

Xu Heyi's eyebrows relaxed, "Both."

After getting in the car, Xu Heyi took Jiang Nuanzhu to the Jiang family's old house.

As soon as I got off the car, I saw Li Ma picking pear blossoms with a basket and a ladder. When I saw Jiang Nuanzhu and Xu Heyi, my wrinkles were brought together with laughter.

"Miss Nuanzhu and her husband are back! Come in and have a rest. We'll be cooking soon."

Jiang Nuanzhu asked curiously, "Auntie Li, what are you doing?"

"The old man was so happy to know you guys are back that he asked me to use my cooking skills to prepare a pear blossom feast."

Jiang Nuanzhu looked at Xu Heyi in surprise, "Did you say that?"

Xu Heyi's expression was calm, his eyes moved slightly, "We are disturbing you without any hesitation, we should give Grandpa some time to prepare."

Jiang Nuanzhu smiled and said, "Then we will have a treat today."
