Chapter 148 "What's there to regret?"
After a two-second silence, she burst out laughing.
"It seems you really like her."
"However, she does have that charm."
Upon hearing her words, He Jinzhao immediately became wary.
"Don't get any funny ideas. We're getting engaged. You've received the invitations, haven't you?"
Shi Qiurou usually saw him as someone who was in complete control, so it was rare to see him so nervous.
She curled her red lips into a smile and said deliberately, "So what? Can't I go and steal the bride?"
He Jinzhao: "..."
He sneered, "Mr. Shi, goodbye."
Shi Qiurou couldn't hold back any longer; her eyes narrowed as she laughed.
She tried her best to manage her facial expressions and get back into work mode.
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore."
"I will transfer the shares to her name as you wish."
"If there's nothing else, I'll head back to the company now; I have a meeting."
He Jinzhao nodded. "Mm."
As she reached the door, Shi Qiurou suddenly turned around, sincerely bent down slightly, and spoke softly with a smile.
"Thanks."
"Also, congratulations on your engagement."
He Jinzhao smiled, indicating that he was quite pleased with this.
"It's been a pleasure working with you, Mr. Shi."
"I look forward to working with you again, Mr. He."
—
Two days before the engagement, He Jinzhao suddenly suggested going to Fanyue Temple.
Song Shiyi nestled in his arms and looked up at him: "What are we going there for?"
"May Buddha protect us so that nothing goes wrong with our engagement?"
He Jinzhao tapped her forehead. "What are you saying?"
"It will definitely go smoothly."
Song Shiyi pursed her lips and smiled secretly.
“That’s where we met and reunited,” he said, his fingertips gently tracing down her hair. “We should go and fulfill a vow.”
Song Shiyi was stunned for a moment, then her eyebrows curved into a smile.
"That makes sense."
He Jinzhao snorted twice: "Besides, even if I didn't draw the best fortune stick, I still married you. Shouldn't I show off to the abbot?"
"Hey, He Jinzhao, you're so childish."
"What's wrong? Baby, you can't dislike me."
"What if I don't like it?"
"Then, then I'll cry for you."
"Okay, then cry for me now."
"..."
He Jinchao looked aggrieved and said, "You bullied me."
Song Shiyi scratched his chin and laughed heartily.
"Okay, okay, stop fooling around."
"Are you still going or not?"
He Jinzhao gave it two big kisses and said contentedly, "Let's go!"

The mountain road winds its way through the mountains, and the distant mountain peaks are hidden in the clouds, like a stroke of ink spreading out in a traditional Chinese painting.
Upon arriving at the temple gate, the faint fragrance of incense mingled with the fresh scent of grass and trees wafted towards us.
He Jinzhao took her hand, their fingers intertwined, and walked along the bluestone path.
The ground was covered with fallen ginkgo leaves on both sides of the road, making a rustling sound when you stepped on them.
Song Shiyi couldn't help but shake their clasped hands: "If you hadn't met me here, but instead saw me at Shen Yanci's house that day, would you still have fallen for me?"
Upon hearing this, He Jinzhao raised an eyebrow, a casual smile playing on his lips, his voice even carrying a slightly lazy tone: "This..."
He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, his eyes slightly upturned, his gaze fixed on her reddened earlobes, looking intently yet blatantly.
"I'll probably bring you home before you even graduate high school."
"Looking back now, I still regret it a little."
Song Shiyi blushed instantly, somewhat curious about what he had said.
"Regret what?"
He Jinzhao paused.
Of course, the better choice is to send a love letter rather than confess in person.
He had checked, but so much time had passed that he naturally couldn't find anything. He planned to ask again at a suitable opportunity.
Given all that happened afterward, he had temporarily put the matter out of his mind. Now that it had come up today, he could naturally ask about it.
He opened his mouth and replied, "Regret..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a surprised voice.
"Song Shiyi? And He... Jinzhao?"
The two people whose names were called turned around at the same time, and both looked blank when they saw the person who came.
The girl looked at their tightly clasped hands and their intimate posture, and understood.
She smiled with relief and sighed, "I never thought you two would still end up together."
He Jinzhao frowned. What did he mean by that?
Who is this person? Have you seen him before?
Why doesn't he recognize him? But the other person seems to know him.
Song Shiyi looked at her for a few seconds, successfully matching the name in her mind, and smiled slightly, "It's you. I remember you were the class monitor of Class Two?"
"Sun Jing?"
Sun Jing nodded. "Yes, I didn't expect you to still remember me."
Unlike Song Shiyi, she was just a nobody in high school. She was average-looking, introverted, had few friends, and was always alone. Her only advantage was her grades.
As for Song Shiyi, not only does she have two campus heartthrobs, Shen Yanci and He Jinzhao, following her around, but she also looks like a porcelain doll, well-behaved and beautiful, with a good personality and good interpersonal relationships, but she just doesn't know how to speak.
Thinking of this, she suddenly paused.
When she looked at Song Shiyi, her face was filled with undisguised surprise.
"You can speak now?"
Song Shiyi smiled and said, "Yes, it was fine in my freshman year."
Sun Jing was happy for her, "Congratulations."
"Thanks."
Song Shiyi naturally heard her ambiguous remark just now.
What did you mean by that just now?
Sun Jing glanced at the two of them, sighed, and felt somewhat embarrassed.
"I'm sorry for what happened."
"I was bewitched at the time, and I've always regretted it ever since. I wanted to apologize to you, but we didn't get into the same school, and I didn't have your contact information, so it just ended there."
"I didn't expect to run into you here today. I'll take this opportunity to apologize to you."
Song Shiyi looked bewildered. What's going on?
She looked at He Jinzhao, who narrowed his eyes slightly, and had a guess in his mind.
Could it be...?
Sun Jing glanced at He Jinzhao and pursed her lips, saying, "When I was in the first year of high school, I went to the convenience store and forgot to bring money. I only realized it when I went to pay. A bunch of people were staring at me, and he helped me out of that predicament."
"On that day, I secretly fell in love with him."
He Jinzhao: "?"
no?
How did I end up getting caught up in this mess?
However, now that you mention it, he does seem to remember something.
At that moment, the little girl was so anxious that tears were about to fall, so he paid the bill for her.
It was just a small favor for him; he didn't think much of it.
"Oh, it's you."
Sun Jing nodded and continued, "Then I paid attention to him every day, pretending to casually watch him play basketball, and under the pretense of going to the office, I would secretly go to the senior high school section just to catch a glimpse of him."
"later……"
