The original target should have been Cheng Xianyi, but inexplicably it was changed to Lin Jiaoyun, which made him a shameless sycophant for three years.
Zhou Cheng watched as the contract was finalized, his heart suddenly clenching. He didn't know why, but he had a strange feeling of unease and fear: 'No!'
'Immortal intent! No way!'
Don't sign it!
"Don't sign!!!"
"bass--"
Overwhelmed by intense emotions, Zhou Cheng abruptly opened his eyes, waking from his chaotic dream.
"Ah Cheng?"
A soft voice called out from within her arms.
Zhou Cheng rubbed his temples, feeling his mind was a mess. In just a few seconds, he couldn't even remember what dream he had just had, only that Cheng Xianyi seemed to be signing something.
"It's nothing." Zhou Cheng's mind was a little confused.
He couldn't help but hug Cheng Xianyi tightly, comforting her, "It was just a dream."
"I dreamt that you seemed to be making a deal with something. I felt uneasy and wanted to stop you, but I couldn't stop you no matter what I did. Then I woke up and couldn't remember many of the details."
trade?
These two words struck Cheng Xianyi's ears.
A fleeting hint of unease crossed her eyes.
"I think I also dreamed about something... what was it again? Strange, I can't remember anything at all." Zhou Cheng wanted to recount the chaotic events of his dream about Ning Chao, the princess, and the teacher.
But the words caught in his throat.
My mind is a complete blank; I can't remember anything.
That's really strange.
Zhou Cheng frowned slightly. He had a premonition that these things might be quite important to him, but he didn't understand why they were important or why he had this thought.
"Then I won't think about it."
Cheng Xianyi looked up, her gaze fixed intently on Zhou Cheng, and said in a gentle and harmless voice, "I just had a dream too. I dreamt that in the capital, you abandoned me for Miss Lin."
"How could this be?" Zhou Cheng immediately came to his senses.
He reached out and pinched Cheng Xianyi's cheek, laughing, "Dreams are always the opposite of reality."
"Your fiancé was forced to pursue Lin Jiaoyun back then. He's not blind; how could he do so many foolish things for her?"
"Then, Cheng... can I..." Cheng Xianyi looked at Zhou Cheng with a gentle, hesitant, and endearing gaze, and whispered, "May I ask?"
"You want to know what the reason is?"
Cheng Xianyi blinked, thought for a moment, and then nodded honestly.
It started three years ago.
It all started with the things Zhou Cheng did for Lin Jiaoyun.
She always believed that Zhou Cheng genuinely liked Lin Jiaoyun.
For this reason, Cheng Xianyi's heart was being torn apart, but she also knew that she had given so much and finally managed to bring Zhou Cheng back to her side, so she could never give up.
"It won't hurt to tell you."
Zhou Cheng sighed and laid it all out: "For the sake of the weapon."
"A killing weapon?"
"I made a deal with someone. If I can pursue Lin Jiaoyun for three years, and be devoted to her without ever abandoning her, she will give me an inexhaustible supply of weapons to protect the Zhou family."
"That's why I made so much noise when I was in the capital, and that's why I treated Lin Jiaoyun with all my heart."
Speaking of which...
Zhou Cheng lowered his head and met Cheng Xianyi's eyes, which suddenly lit up. He said seriously, "I have never liked her, and I would never look back at her."
"That's the reason."
