"Comrade Ningning, I heard that you got engaged today?"
Sheng Zexi walked over and saw two figures in the distance, both of them facing sideways towards him. One of the pretty figures was his fiancée Gu Jianing, whom he had met not long ago.
The other one turned into ashes, but Sheng Zexi also recognized him.
Sheng Zexi's eyes darkened and her lips were pursed into a straight line. She really met Wen Zhuqing.
Why? Was it a coincidence, or?
Before I got close, I heard Wen Zhuqing asking this question.
Sheng Zexi stopped, and happened to stop in the blind spot of the two people's vision.
Suddenly, he was very curious about what Gu Jianing's answer was.
After all, he knew that Gu Jianing had liked Wen Zhuqing, and it was this love that made Sheng Zexi jealous to the point of almost going crazy, but Gu Jianing didn't know it.
At this moment, Sheng Zexi, who was waiting, felt that his breathing became lighter and his heart was lifted up. Even on the battlefield, he had never been so nervous and uneasy.
"Yes, I'm engaged." Soon, Gu Jianing's voice came, with a hint of joy.
"So, Wen Zhiqing is here to congratulate me?" Gu Jianing looked at Wen Zhuqing with a smile.
That question and smile made Wen Zhuqing stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to respond.
It seemed that this promise was beyond his expectations.
But Wen Zhuqing quickly calmed down, lowered her eyes, and pretended to be sad, "I, I thought Comrade Ningning took care of me like that before because she had a good impression of me. It seems that I misunderstood."
There was still a smile on Gu Jianing's lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes. That was it. Wen Zhuqing was like this in his previous life. He acted aggrieved and melancholy to make her feel guilty, and then gave her everything she wanted with her own hands, while he was just a pure and innocent little white flower.
Thinking of this, Gu Jianing's eyes were filled with a hint of bad teasing, "No, Wen Zhiqing didn't misunderstand."
To Wen Zhuqing's surprise, Gu Jianing said, "I did have a crush on Wen Zhiqing before, and I thought about marrying you, but after meeting Brother Sheng, my thoughts changed."
"Brother Sheng is a promising officer, and he is from Beijing. As for you, Wen Zhiqing, although you are from Shanghai, you are only an educated youth now, and you don't know when you can return to the city. Brother Sheng gets a salary every month, but you don't have a job, and you can't even get a full centimeter if you work in the fields. Moreover, Brother Sheng is more majestic and tall, and he is also very handsome."
"So, I think Brother Sheng is better."
Originally, Gu Jianing was thinking about whether or not to reveal Wen Zhuqing's true identity, but when he thought about his future plans, he decided to give up.
So, just be a scumbag who falls in love with everyone she meets.
Although Wen Zhuqing was scheming, she was obviously shocked by her bad words.
He didn't expect that although Gu Jianing was simple, she was also someone who could easily change her mind.
Not far away, Sheng Zexi's hands went from clenched to loose, and then clenched again.
Originally, when she heard Gu Jianing say that she liked him more and that he was better than Wen Zhuqing, the corners of her mouth curled up wildly, her starry eyes became brighter, and her heart was filled with joy.
But after hearing Gu Jianing's remarks, he was also shocked.
He thought, if this little girl met someone better and more handsome than him in the future, wouldn’t she be seduced away?
Sheng Zexi licked his back teeth with the tip of his tongue and felt an urge to hold the little girl down and spank her.
But I secretly made a note of this incident and reminded myself to work harder and become better, and also to pay attention to my appearance.
Reaching out and touching his face, Sheng Zexi didn't care much before, thinking that it was okay for men to be a little rough, but now he feels that he still needs to take good care of his face.
Sheng Zexi's mood went up and down because of Gu Jianing's words.
"Wen Zhiqing, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. By the way, please call me Comrade Gu next time. I am afraid that my fiancée will misunderstand your previous address."
After saying that, without paying attention to Wen Zhuqing who seemed to want to say something else, Gu Jianing left, hiding the hatred in his eyes.
Just when he was leaving, he seemed to see a figure hiding in front of him with a corner of gray clothes. Thinking of that person, Gu Jianing's plan slowly took shape in his heart.
Wen Zhuqing wanted to catch up and say something, but she saw a tall and handsome man in military uniform walking towards Gu Jianing from afar.
The man's gaze seemed to be on him, with a hint of provocation, and Wen Zhuqing couldn't help but stop.
When Gu Jianing walked intimately to the man, he was sure that the man should be the military officer fiancé whom Gu Jianing was engaged to today.
Is he worse than that officer?
Wen Zhuqing, who had been praised and admired since childhood and was always regarded as someone else's child, had a slightly distorted face.
However, thinking that the other party is an officer, and thinking about my current situation, I should avoid him for the time being.
Being able to bend and stretch has always been Wen Zhuqing's style.
It’s that Gu Jianing who really can’t accept this.
"Brother Sheng, didn't you go back to the county town?" Gu Jianing's round almond eyes were full of surprise, but also a little guilty. She didn't know whether this man had seen her talking to Wen Zhuqing.
Sheng Zexi sneered in his heart when he saw the guilty look in Gu Jianing's eyes, but he didn't really care.
He didn't intend to tell what had just happened.
Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Sheng Zexi's unruly eyebrows rarely showed shyness, "Nothing, I just forgot to discuss with you when we are going to take wedding photos and get the marriage certificate."
So that's how it is.
Gu Jianing was no longer thinking about what happened to Wen Zhuqing, as his mind was drawn to Sheng Zexi's words.
"Then let's take wedding photos tomorrow. Once the photos are out, we'll go get the marriage certificate."
"Okay." Sheng Zexi agreed immediately, as if Gu Jianing would refuse if the baby was born a second later, "Then I'll pick you up and take you to the photo studio in the county tomorrow morning."
"Okay." At this time, Gu Jianing seemed to remember something and said, "Yes, the box your grandparents gave me..."
Gu Jianing whispered what was in the wooden box.
"…The things in here are too valuable. I can't accept them."
Sheng Zexi's eyes were a little dazed as he looked at Gu Jianing. The little girl's eyes were clear and the emotions in her eyes did not seem fake.
I really feel that the things are too valuable to accept.
This little Pixiu always takes in but never gives out.
He knew that this little girl was somewhat greedy for money.
But I didn't expect that the little girl loved money, but she was so clear-headed.
He doesn't think loving money is a bad thing.
A large part of those jewellery was his mother's dowry. Later, the man married another woman. When he found out that the woman dared to embezzle his mother's jewellery, he made a fuss and eventually took all of his mother's dowry back to her parents' home, including the shop and the house.
Now, Sheng Zexi felt that there was nothing wrong in giving it to Gu Jianing.
Thinking so, Sheng Zexi also said so.
"…My mother's things were either passed down to me or to you. Husband and wife are one, and it's the same as giving them to you now. And since my grandparents have given them to you, there's no reason for them to take them back, so just keep them with peace of mind."
In the end, under Sheng Zexi's persuasion, Gu Jianing had no choice but to give in.
I plan to put the box into the system's space when I get back, so that it won't be lost and I can carry it with me.
