Jing Zhe was startled by her glare and the question that suddenly popped up, and couldn't think of it for a moment.
What did I do this morning?
Isn't it just about arresting Manager Hu and Prefect Liu, and then reuniting with her?
"Sixth Sister, I didn't do anything!"
Jing Zhe said innocently.
"Didn't do anything?"
Zhou Ziqiong continued to sneer, "Is it no big deal to you to casually flirt with women you don't even know?"
"..."
Jing Zhe was taken aback, then suddenly realized what was going on.
"Sixth Sister, that really wasn't intentional! It was you who leaned on me first, and I instinctively reached out to help you, but I ended up touching the wrong person. So, if you really want to blame someone, it's your fault, Sixth Sister!"
"You still dare to talk!"
Zhou Ziqiong's eyes immediately reddened as she glared at Jing Zhe, as if she had suffered a great injustice: "Do you think... Sixth Sister is a frivolous woman who can be touched by anyone?"
After saying that, he ran straight outside.
Jing Zhe clearly saw the tear tracks on her eyes, so how could he let her leave?
He quickly ran up and hugged her: "Sixth Sister, it's my fault, it's all my fault, okay?"
"Blame you? Why should I blame you?"
Zhou Ziqiong let the tears keep falling from her eyes, then pouted and said, "It's my fault. It's my fault for fainting when I saw a man, for being taken advantage of and not saying anything, and for being too... too promiscuous as a woman!"
By the end, Zhou Ziqiong was sobbing uncontrollably. Seemingly not wanting Jing Zhe to see her crying, she turned her head to the side and patted Jing Zhe, trying to make him let go of her.
At this point, how could Jing Zhe possibly let go?
He hugged Zhou Ziqiong tightly and hurriedly said, "Sixth Sister, I was wrong, it was all my fault!"
"Where...did you go wrong?"
Zhou Ziqiong struggled for a while, but how could she be as strong as Jing Zhe? After realizing that she couldn't break free at all, she nestled comfortably in Jing Zhe's arms and asked, sobbing.
"Everything is wrong!"
"Then why...why did you do that?"
"Sixth Sister, I really didn't mean it!"
At this point, saying "unintentional" is undoubtedly the best option.
Firstly, Jing Zhe had said the same thing before, so continuing to say "unintentional" now would maintain consistency. Secondly, if he did it on purpose, and Zhou Ziqiong was still "cooperating" like this, it would ultimately be Zhou Ziqiong who would lose face.
Most importantly, he really didn't do it on purpose!
Zhou Ziqiong naturally wouldn't forgive him just because he said it was "unintentional," and continued to ask, "Unintentional? Then what do you mean by grabbing a handful at the end? Was that also unintentional?"
It took Zhou Ziqiong a lot of effort to finally say the word "grab," her face already flushed with shame and indignation.
Jing Zhe thought for a moment. If he said it was "unintentional" again, it would be too stupid. Not only would he be stupid, but he would also treat Zhou Ziqiong as a fool. What normal person would unintentionally grab a woman's breasts?
So he took a deep breath and forced himself to say, "It was intentional."
"Intentional?"
Zhou Ziqiong gritted her teeth and said it, raising her hand as well.
Jing Zhe looked at Zhou Ziqiong without any attempt to dodge, as if he was just waiting for her to slap him.
Zhou Ziqiong looked at him for a while, but her raised hand finally fell limply down, because she still couldn't bear to part with him!
Jing Zhe took Zhou Ziqiong's hand, looked into her eyes again, and said in a deep voice, "Because I like Sixth Sister!"
"..."
Zhou Ziqiong's mouth gaped open, her mind going completely blank. She had imagined countless excuses Jing Zhe might give, but she never expected this one—how could this even be considered an excuse?
"No, actually I didn't like Sixth Sister back then."
Jing Zhe shook his head again and smiled.
"..."
For some reason, when Zhou Ziqiong heard Jing Zhe say he liked her, although her mind was filled with all sorts of emotions—unease, surprise, confusion, shyness, and timidity—when she heard him say he didn't like her back, all her emotions inexplicably turned into sadness and resentment.
How could he... not like it anymore?
How could he... not like it anymore?
Jing Zhe, through the subtle changes in Zhou Ziqiong's facial expressions, roughly guessed her thoughts and was secretly delighted.
At this point, I can only play the Casanova once again!
Then, with tender affection, she said, "Because at that time, I didn't know that Zhou Ziqiong was my sixth sister. My sixth sister was Zhou Ziqiong, so at that time, I didn't like my sixth sister, but Zhou Ziqiong!"
"..."
"I also find it strange that after just one meeting, I feel an extraordinary sense of closeness and longing. After returning home, I think about it day and night, and for a period of time after leaving Ruzhou, I dreamt of that figure in white every night."
"When I set foot on the land of Ruzhou again, although I told them that I was there to open a branch of the newspaper and to see the Pavilion Master and the Garden Master, only I knew in my heart that there was another person I wanted to see when I came to Ruzhou!"
"Last night, by the moat, did you really think that when I saw that lantern, I stood there without doing anything because I didn't want to pick it up? No, I was stunned, stunned by the magical fate between us!"
"The first encounter was a chance meeting, and the second meeting was at the Lantern Festival. Heaven didn't blow any earlier or later, but just at the moment you released the lantern, the wind blew, and just at the same time, the lantern was blown right in front of me. If this is not a destiny ordained by heaven, then what is it?"
"So I picked it up, but because Xiaoyu was right next to me, I couldn't show you too much affection and excitement, as that would embarrass Xiaoyu. But I was overjoyed inside, because I was certain that it was fate that brought us together by chance, and fate that brought us together again!"
"However, Sixth Sister also knows that I not only brought Xiaoyu here, but also have the Pavilion Master and Garden Master's wives in Ruzhou City. Even if I have thoughts in my heart, I dare not reveal them to Sixth Sister! Besides, I'm afraid that if you knew that I already have three wives here, you definitely wouldn't look at me properly!"
"So I fell into a deep sense of inferiority. Even though I really wanted to tell you, I didn't dare. But the more I didn't say it, the more I wanted to tell you. This morning, because of an accident, you fell towards me, and I unintentionally reached out and touched you..."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziqiong blushed all the way down to her earlobes, her head almost drooping into her chest, too ashamed to look up.
Jing Zhe continued, “That’s why I came up with a solution that wasn’t really a solution, and decided to play along with the plan. I think that a traditional and self-respecting woman like you, after encountering this kind of thing, besides hitting and scolding me, the only thing you can do is marry me so that you won’t tarnish your reputation for nothing, right?”
"..."
