"Were you joking with my daughter just now? Were you just trying to please that woman and make fun of her?"
Zhou Cheng's eyes were sincere, and there was not a trace of joking on his face.
He walked directly up to Cheng Xianyi.
As she stared blankly at her slender hands, lost in thought, he directly took her hand in his.
Three seconds before Cheng Xianyi's thoughts drifted: "When Zhou Cheng hugged me just now, it seems he touched the nail of this finger. So, shall I not wash my hands today? Is today enough? Or should I not wash them tomorrow either..."
Three seconds later, Cheng Xian's expression was: "!!!"
She looked down at her wrist that was being held, her heart filled with a whirlwind of emotions that ultimately turned into a sense of realization and endless sorrow.
at the same time.
My points are skyrocketing!
145 points!
One hundred and forty-six points!
Two hundred points...
The numbers keep climbing.
Zhou Cheng met Cheng's father's gaze with a resolute expression: "Uncle, I swear by the loyalty of the entire Zhou family, I will never betray Cheng Xian's heart! I was a fool before, blind and mistaking a fish eye for a pearl!"
"Now I have come to a complete understanding. The person I should truly cherish is her. Only she is worthy of my cherishing."
Mr. Cheng opened his mouth in shock.
He wanted to say something more sarcastic, but when he met his daughter's warning gaze, he swallowed his words.
He simply turned his back and sneered, "You'd better keep your word. I'll consider the marriage proposal carefully based on your performance. If you dare to hurt my daughter for that woman again, I'll break your legs!"
"They haven't even started dating yet, what kind of talk is this, hugging and cuddling like that!"
"Come here, I have something to ask you."
"And you, can't a young lady be a little more reserved?"
Zhou Cheng reluctantly let go of her hand.
Even after Zhou Cheng left with Cheng's father, who had a stern face, Cheng Xianyi was still unable to recover from the twists and turns of the day. She just kept staring at her right hand.
I looked at it again and again.
Then, she gently pursed her lips and smiled with pleasure: "Do you really have feelings for me? Or are you lying? It doesn't matter if you're lying, at least you're still willing to put in the effort to deceive me."
"Zhou Cheng".
"I thought I'd never see you turn back again..."
Just as the atmosphere at the Cheng residence gradually became lively and joyful again.
-
At this moment, at the Lin residence.
Lin Jiaoyun, sitting casually with her legs crossed on the chair, would occasionally glance at the red cinnabar on her nails, and then occasionally look up at the entrance of the lobby.
As time went by.
Lin Jiaoyun, who had been nonchalant, was getting restless, and her brows furrowed with impatience and anxiety.
She has a delicate, innocent look, not quite stunning, but she is charming and lively.
Wearing the Heavenly Silk Cloud Silk that Zhou Cheng forced her to accept, and a full set of red coral hair ornaments, this outfit alone would be enough for an ordinary person to live a life of comfort and ease.
"What exactly is Zhou Cheng up to?"
Lin Jiaoyun frowned, her tone full of dissatisfaction: "Three hours ago, the servants heard rumors that he had already left the General's Mansion. It's almost late now, why hasn't he arrived yet?"
"He begged me to accept the gift, yet I had to wait for almost half a day. He really doesn't care about me at all!"
"When he comes, no matter how much he begs me, I won't accept his things!"
Lin Jiaoyun thought bitterly to herself, "If Zhou Cheng doesn't kneel down and coax me, he can forget about getting me to accept that phoenix crown. I'm not that kind of wicked woman who covets power and wealth!"
However--
The idea had just begun to emerge.
The butler rushed over, his face grim: "Miss."
"He's finally here, isn't he? Don't let Zhou Cheng in. Tell him I've left the manor and to stand at the gate and wait until I return."
"Men are all like this; the easier something is for them to get, the less they cherish it; the harder something is to get, the more precious it becomes."
"I'm not the kind of woman who's easily moved by a few taels of silver!!"
The butler used to think that his young mistress really knew how to handle those young masters when she heard these words.
But at this moment........
His eyes changed slightly, and his tone became somewhat complicated: "Miss, Young Master Zhou didn't come. The people below said... said that he went to find Miss Cheng with the phoenix crown!"
