Sisi smiled and said, "Yes, there is one."
"Then why did you come to Shengjing? Why didn't your sweetheart come with you? Did you come to Shengjing to break off your engagement?"
Despite it being the desired outcome, Zhou Qiyan felt no joy; in fact, he was somewhat angry.
Madam Zhou took her hand and said, "Sisi, tell your aunt the truth. Is it because of your second brother that you said those things? Your aunt hasn't heard that you've been in contact with anyone."
Sisi smiled and said, "Auntie, that person is also my childhood playmate. I'm sorry for all the trouble you've gone through for me. It's my fault."
Madam Zhou couldn't bear to blame her, but she couldn't completely believe what she said.
"How about this, you send a message to ask that child to come over, and let your aunt and uncle give you their opinion."
Sisi agreed.
On the way back to the courtyard, Zhou Qiyan followed behind her, remaining silent for a long time before finally asking her a question.
"Do you really have someone you like?"
"Um."
"More handsome than me? Or richer than me?"
Sisi turned to look at him, her face still bearing her usual gentle smile, "Then will Ayan marry me?"
He shook his head instinctively.
"Then why even ask these questions?"
Zhou Qiyan also realized that he was indeed acting a bit crazy. "Can't I ask you something when I have nothing better to do? I'm just worried that you'll be scammed, I care about you, you know? You have no conscience."
He stormed off in a huff.
Sisi ignored her, and Baizhi, who was following beside her, didn't dare to speak. After entering the courtyard, Sisi sent her away, and suddenly a tall figure appeared beside her.
"Since he doesn't like you, what are you still doing here? Watching him get married and have children?"
“I’m busy with the affairs of the Six Realms every day, can’t I even take a month off?” Sisi looked at him, “How come you have time to relax, Senior Brother?”
Wen Yuan's expression turned indifferent. "Look at you."
"You've been looking for billions of years, and you still haven't seen enough?"
"Not enough." Wen Yuan looked inside and saw the sturdy wooden bed, which he touched.
"No bed here is as comfortable as the one in the Heavenly Palace."
"fine."
"Are you really going to stay here for a month?"
Sisi hummed in agreement. "Just consider it a rest. Senior brother, do you not want to help me with administrative affairs and find it troublesome?"
Wen Yuan pinched his brow. "Why would you think that about me? I've never found it annoying."
Sisi smiled and said, "Just kidding. Senior brother, would you like to try some human-world delicacies? The night market should still be around."
Wen Yuan's mind stirred slightly, and he sat down in response. "Alright, I heard you mention your sweetheart. Where do you plan to go to find her?"
After thinking for a moment, she felt that only Little Gem's age matched his. She looked up and was about to speak when the person in front of her suddenly changed his clothes.
This attire is unmistakably typical of people from Daqing.
"you…"
"I'll take the role."
Wen Yuan put it bluntly, "No one else is as reliable or suitable as me. If you are with me, Madam Zhou will not have any doubts whatsoever."
After thinking about it for a moment, it makes sense.
"Okay, then I'll have to take up a few more days of your time."
Wen Yuan smiled faintly, "It's alright, I'll come again tomorrow. You rest first, and I'll accompany you to the night market tomorrow."
Sisi nodded.
Not long after he left, Zhou Qiyan arrived uninvited.
Sisi watched as he hastily sat down on the low couch, not saying a word, his dark eyes fixed on her.
"What's wrong?"
What's wrong? She even has the nerve to ask what's wrong?!
Zhou Qi was extremely annoyed. Every time he closed his eyes, he could only see that dream, which kept him from sleeping!
But he couldn't bring himself to say it.
He could only retort angrily, "Can't I even have insomnia?"
Have you been having insomnia for a long time?
"I was so angry with you today."
Sisi ignored his words and tapped her fingertip on a glass of water. "You'll fall asleep if you drink this water."
"You drugged me?"
Sisi took a bite in front of him.
A faint lipstick mark was left on the white porcelain cup, and he unconsciously swallowed hard.
"You've already drunk it, why are you giving me more?"
"If you're not going to drink, then go back. I'm going to sleep."
Zhou Qiyan snatched it and poured it into his mouth. He didn't dare touch the lip print, but there was a faint fragrance in his breath.
"you……"
Sisi watched him fall onto the couch, got up, took a blanket and covered him with it, then went to the inner room.
When she woke up the next day, he was no longer in the room. After she finished washing up, there was someone sitting on the bed.
"Is this appropriate for a woman's boudoir?"
Wen Yuan stood up and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it was my fault, please don't be angry."
It was early in the morning, and Sisi really didn't need to get angry about this. She put on her veil and said, "You should have entered through the main entrance; that's the proper way."
"They just came to see you; they're at the main entrance."
"them?"
Suddenly, Bai Zhi's voice rang out from outside the door, "Miss, someone from the Wen family has come. They say they're here to propose marriage to you on behalf of Third Brother Wen. You should go to the main hall right away."
Sisi responded and turned to look at him, "Are you serious? There's no need to be so serious."
I have never lied to you.
Sisi found it cheesy. "There's no need for a marriage proposal. I'm only staying for a month. It's too much trouble for you to do this."
"Can't you just pretend to marry me for this month?"
Why bother?
Wen Yuan smiled bitterly, "I don't ask for much, just one month. Please grant me this once."
After saying that, he disappeared.
Bai Zhi was still urging them from outside the door. Si Si opened the door and went to the main hall with her. In the main hall, Wen Yuan had already taken his seat next to Old Master Wen.
