"You'll know when you see it."

Ma Fengcheng seemed to be keeping things in suspense, and Chi Kunli vaguely guessed something. She put the letter into her pocket without opening it or saying anything. When she arrived at her doorstep, she got out of the car and left.

Ma Fengcheng looked at Chi Kunli's receding back with a puzzled look on his face.

Is Chi Kunli's behavior an acceptance or a rejection?

Logically speaking, the two of them had a good time together today, so the other party shouldn't be so repulsive to him! Could it be that Chi Kunli was not interested in him at all? Ma Fengcheng shook his head and denied his thoughts. If Chi Kunli really had no interest in him, she would not have taken good care of him in the hospital, let alone agreed to accompany him to dinner and watch movies.

Maybe she was just embarrassed.

When Chi Kunli returned home, she did not open the letter immediately, but stuffed it under her pillow and did not read it until the next day.

After reading the letter, her expression became complicated, with surprise, confusion, and expectation...

"What are you thinking about? You've been standing there for a long time."

As soon as Aunt Chi entered the room, she noticed that something was wrong with Chi Kunli, and came up to her and asked, "Did something happen in the workshop?"

"No." Chi Kunli secretly put the letter into her pocket, "Mom, don't worry about me all day long."

"I know you have something wrong. Tell me, is there anything wrong?"

"No, don't think about it." Chi Kunli explained while cleaning the table. She didn't dare to tell her the truth, otherwise she would definitely be nagged again.

After hearing what Chi Kunli said, Aunt Chi could not continue to ask. She could only sigh and mutter to herself: "Alas, you are already an adult. I wanted you to marry a good family as soon as possible, but now you are busy doing business with Weiwei. I don't know where my son-in-law is."

"Okay, mother." Chi Kunli stopped what she was doing. "Weiwei and I are making a lot of money in our workshop now. Besides, what do rural people want when they marry off their daughters? They just want their daughters to live a happy life. Later, I will find you a good son-in-law and I promise you will be satisfied."

"Okay, okay, you're grown up now, and I can't control you anymore." Aunt Chi patted Chi Kunli's arm with a smile, "Don't keep me waiting too long."

"knew."

In the evening.

After checking the accounts in hand, Chi Kunli discussed the opening ceremony of the new factory and various details with Xiang Baiwei.

During the break, Xiang Baiwei suddenly looked at Chi Kunli with a gossipy look on her face, "I heard that you just came back from town last night? It shouldn't take that long to deliver new goods. Tell me the truth, where were you?"

When Chi Kunli heard this, her pretty face turned red: "Where did you hear this news?"

"That's what Widow Li said. She said she saw you coming back with a man last night. Unfortunately it was too dark and she couldn't see clearly who that man was!"

Xiang Baiwei gave her an "I understand" expression and looked at her with a smile: "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

"Nothing happened," Chi Kunli stammered to cover up, but Xiang Baiwei saw through her thoughts.

Xiang Baiwei reached out and grabbed Chi Kunli's arm, "I guess that man is Ma Fengcheng, right?"

"Yes, but he and I really just met by chance on the road, and then he said he wanted to buy textbooks, but his hands were inconvenient, so I just helped him." Chi Kunli's face flushed, and she struggled to break free from Xiang Baiwei's hand, "Don't make blind guesses."

"That's it? Didn't Ma Fengcheng say anything else?"

"What does it mean?"

"For example, he might treat you to a meal, give you a gift, or invite you to a movie to express his love!"

Xiang Baiwei stared at Chi Kunli with a smile on her face, waiting for her answer.

"Oh, no, don't guess. By the way, I remembered that I forgot to check an account, I'll go deal with it first." After Chi Kunli finished speaking, she ran back to the backyard with a flushed face.

In the next few days, Ma Fengcheng appeared in the workshop from time to time. On the surface, he came to ask Jiang Sui for advice, but in fact, his eyes stayed on Chi Kunli most of the time.

But Chi Kunli was obviously avoiding him on purpose. Every time she saw Ma Fengcheng, Chi Kunli would leave with an excuse. In the end, Ma Fengcheng had no choice but to leave the workshop in disappointment.

Chi Kunli acted like this for several days in a row, which made Ma Fengcheng very depressed.

He felt like a failure.

Chi Kunli really seemed to dislike him.

Ma Fengcheng was feeling very upset, so after class that day, he came to find Jiang Sui, wanting him to accompany him to drink to relieve his sorrow.

But Jiang Sui only had one night left of vacation, and he wanted to spend more time with Xiang Baiwei than go out drinking with his brothers.

So he politely declined.

But Ma Fengcheng did not give up. He shamelessly pestered Jiang Sui and insisted that he go with him.

There was no way, Jiang Sui couldn't persuade him, so he could only trick him into going to his house for a drink.

"Let me tell you, I have a few bottles of good wine hidden at home, but I usually don't want to take them out to drink."

"Then what are you waiting for? Take me there right now."

"Okay, let's go."

Jiang Sui led Ma Fengcheng to his home, prepared a few side dishes, and then took out the wine and poured it for Ma Fengcheng, "This wine is called Zuixian Niang. I heard it is brewed with the best ingredients and the taste is particularly pure. Let's drink some."

Ma Fengcheng couldn't wait to pick up the cup and took a sip. "Good wine."

"Not bad, right? Let's have a few more drinks."

"Um."

One third of the bottle of wine was soon emptied. Ma Fengcheng's cheeks were burning and his breathing became heavy. He shook his head with a hazy look in his eyes, "Jiang Sui, this wine is so strong. If I get drunk with such a strong wine, will I be able to... forget my troubles?"

"Of course not." Jiang Sui waved his hand with a smile, "It's all a lie to sober up and relieve sorrow."

"What you said... makes sense." Ma Fengcheng nodded, half drunk, "But it's good to be drunk. When I'm drunk... I won't be so disappointed."

Jiang Sui was stunned: "What are you disappointed about?"

"I... just broke up, and you don't know?" Ma Fengcheng smiled bitterly.

"Ma Fengcheng, don't be discouraged. Maybe the girl is still considering it."

"Impossible." Ma Fengcheng shook his head. "Didn't you see? She has been hiding when she saw me these past few days, as if she was afraid that I would stick with her."

"I guess you're just overthinking it. Forget it, let's not talk about it today. Let's drink."

The two of them clinked their glasses and drank it all. As soon as they finished, Ma Fengcheng lay down on the table, mumbling drunkenly: "Tell me, what's wrong with me? Why... Why doesn't she like me?"

Looking at the drunk Ma Fengcheng, Jiang Sui sighed helplessly.
