Chu Jinjin was mentally exhausted and her mind was working slower than usual. After she finished speaking, she realized what she had said and asked in shock, "You don't expect me to put in a good word for you in front of the Emperor, do you?"
Having met the Wang family today, I've gained some understanding of them.
He's not a magnanimous person to begin with, and now he's being bullied by her so badly that he can't do anything about it.
In fact, the trigger for the whole incident was Xu Wenda. If it weren't for him, the Wang family would be doing just fine now, and Wang Ruoxiang might already be a concubine.
Xu Wenda lowered his head and said in a low voice, "A few days ago, Wang Ruoyun and I signed a legal agreement. When we were moving the dowry, she said that I would get what I deserved."
Xu Wenda didn't think too much before doing these things.
They either have to sell their ancestral home or go to jail on some charge.
He had no other choice.
As for Wang Ruoyun, he thought a sincere apology would be enough, after all, Wang Ruoyun liked him so much.
But how deep is the love?
The depth of hatred is as great as the hatred itself.
The look in Wang Ruoyun's eyes when she left sent chills down his spine.
He had a gut feeling.
The Xu family will be plunged into utter ruin.
Chu Jinjin lost interest and waved her hand, "Sorry, I can't help you with this."
She couldn't wait to get away from Xiao Huai.
Xu Wenda stepped forward, mustering his courage: "Jinjin, please help me for the sake of our past relationship. The Emperor has deep feelings for you, and he will definitely not refuse you as long as you ask. I don't ask for anything else, just any official position will do."
He recalled what he had done and realized he was not qualified. He said in a low voice, "Besides, when Miss Chu becomes empress, she will need some trustworthy people. I can swear to heaven that I will never have any disloyal intentions in this life."
Chu Jinjin almost laughed: "Xu Wenda, what if I told you that I don't want to be empress at all?"
Like many others, Xu Wenda wore an expression of disbelief: "You, you don't want to be the empress?"
He then recalled Chu Jinjin's request and earnestly said, "Jinjin, marriage and love are different. I only know that you hope to be with one person for life, but that is the Emperor. How can he only have one woman? That day, I mentioned this to the Emperor, and that's why he wanted to make you his Empress as compensation."
Chu Jinjin was too lazy to explain another word.
She was truly blind before.
In the darkness of night, her silhouette seemed to drift and sway.
Xu Wenda did not pursue.
People might change when pushed to a certain point; he realized there was no point in continuing.
But he came up with another solution.
It goes without saying how much the Emperor values Chu Jinjin. So, what if we tell the Emperor what happened tonight?
Chu Jinjin had no idea about this.
I got home just before lights out.
Li Dahua had been traveling through wind and rain, sleeping outdoors, and while she hadn't gone hungry, she hadn't eaten well either. Now that she had found Chu Jinjin, she was starving.
Knowing how enormous her appetite was, they stopped paying attention to the rules and just cooked and ate fresh food in the kitchen.
Chu Jinjin returned to the courtyard, lay down on the soft couch, and didn't want to get up.
It's still more comfortable at home.
But we can't rest yet.
Soon, Zhan Qin arrived. He had just taken a shower and looked very refreshed, making his handsome face even more striking.
Chu Jinjin looked at it several times and felt that if she could see this face every day when she woke up, she would be in a good mood.
"I heard about Aunt Xu Wenda's matter." Zhan Qin walked over and sat down beside her, carefully looking her over for a few moments. "Are you troubled?"
Chu Jinjin sighed softly, "A little."
She knew what kind of situation the Xu family was facing, but it wasn't that she was soft-hearted. Perhaps it was like that sentimental saying: after all, she had liked them.
It's heartbreaking to see the man I used to like turn out like this.
Zhan Qin smiled, sat quietly for a while, and said softly, "Besides liking men with pectoral muscles, what other requirements does Jin Jin have?"
This was a very good topic shift.
Chu Jinjin perked up and listed them one by one: "Pectoral muscles aren't that important, as long as they're healthy. Of course, it would be better if they were, as they're pleasing to the eye. Besides that, I hope he's gentle and considerate, listens to me, doesn't force me to do things I don't like, doesn't change me, doesn't restrict me, and lets me be who I am."
These words were truly shocking and outrageous.
But when Chu Jinjin said it, it sounded so natural.
Chu Jinjin stared at Zhan Qin and said seriously, "I won't force you, and you shouldn't feel pressured. To be honest, I'm not a good wife. If you feel it's not right, we can still be friends."
When Chu Jinjin married Xu Wenda before, she didn't think too much about it, after all, the idea of male superiority and female inferiority was still there, but now it's different.
She didn't want to pretend anymore, and she didn't want to force herself anymore.
No one will do.
“I’m not under pressure. Jinjin is no ordinary woman.” Zhan Qin’s expression was exceptionally serious. “But, if I know you’re wrong about something, can I say it?”
Chu Jinjin is not someone who doesn't give lectures: "Of course, I'm only saying this relatively. If I make a mistake, I will definitely point it out."
Zhan Qin laughed: "Did the Wang family send you to find my father?"
Chu Jinjin's eyes widened in surprise, and she said angrily, "So this is where you were waiting for me."
On her way here, she specifically told her mother not to let Zhan Qin know, but it seems that her words were in vain.
Chu Jinjin didn't realize that she had started to act coquettishly.
That's right.
Chu Jinjin, acting coquettishly, had a slightly flushed face and lips as red as cherries. Gone was her usual sassiness; instead, she was as alluring as the night.
Zhan Qin swallowed hard.
"You don't need to worry about this." Chu Jinjin didn't realize how alluring she was at that moment, and said, word by word, "In short, don't get involved."
It's the same reason.
Everyone has their own bottom line and dignity. Zhan Qin even changed her surname, which shows how much she hates that so-called father. She couldn't bring herself to make him bow down and beg.
Zhan Qin shook his head: "You just said that if I pointed out your mistakes, compared to us and the safety of the Chu family, my little bit of face is nothing. Besides, it's something he owes me."
Chu Jinjin fell into a long silence.
After a while, he raised his hand and pressed the pectoral muscle he had wanted to touch earlier, then quickly changed the subject: "I'll try it first, and if it doesn't work, I'll do what you said. By the way, does your family know you're here?"
"You, you can touch me if you want. I've been practicing lately." Zhan Qin's face immediately turned red, and he quickly grabbed her withdrawn hand and pressed it back to his chest.
Chu Jinjin was unusually shy: "I'm a little embarrassed."
The two are already considered to be in love.
Moreover, at this moment, a man and a woman are alone together, and they haven't seen each other for so long, so it's perfectly normal for them to kiss and hug.
But Zhan Qin wasn't proactive at all...
That's understandable.
Zhan Qin's lack of initiative did not mean he didn't want to; he kept thinking about that kiss, and during the day he longed to hug people whenever he saw them, but he didn't dare.
She was afraid of losing him, and afraid of angering Chu Jinjin.
Looking at the lips so close to his, Zhan Qin could no longer control the desire in his body and heart, and whispered, "Jin Jin, you touched my pectoral muscles, can I kiss you?"
Chu Jinjin couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.
Then he said seriously, "You can be intimate, but you have to listen to me."
