Chapter 402 The Male Lead's Shield (42)



Upon learning of Shen Qingshu's return, Zhou Yuncheng's mother immediately admonished her son, saying, "I don't care what you think, don't go near her. Even if you're single, I won't allow you to marry her!"

Zhou's mother still can't forget how her son almost ruined his life because of Shen Qingshu.

The thought of Shen Qingshu jokingly suggesting that Zhou Yuncheng drop out of school to prove his sincerity, and that he would actually do it, made her blood pressure spike.

Therefore, even though her son is still single, and even though the daughter-in-law she has chosen no longer associates with her son, Zhou's mother does not want Zhou Yuncheng to have any further involvement with Shen Qingshu.

When Zhou Yuncheng learned that Shen Qingshu had returned, it felt as if his heart had been struck hard.

Indeed, in a sense, Shen Qingshu can be considered his first love.

That was the first girl he ever liked.

But after so many years, Zhou Yuncheng realized that his heart had undergone some subtle changes.

Although they were talking about Shen Qingshu, Zhou Yuncheng couldn't help but think of Jiang Tian.

He already knew that Jiang Tian had a new boyfriend.

He was drinking water when the scalding water spilled all over his leg, but he didn't even feel it.

He hadn't expected Jiang Tian to act so quickly. He was well aware of the despicable things Duan Muqing had done.

Zhou Yuncheng has been trying his best to get better, intending to face Jiang Tian in the best possible mental state.

The two had been friends for many years, and Jiang Tian had secretly loved him for a long time. Zhou Yuncheng believed he had a very good chance of winning.

He wouldn't take Jiang Tian for granted like Duan Muqing did, placing her in the back position.

He will definitely love Jiang Tianzhen.

They've missed many years; it's time to get back on track.

However, even though he had everything prepared, Jiang Tian chose someone else.

No one knows what his emotions were at that moment.

These days, Zhou Yuncheng has been discharged from the hospital, but he is constantly tormented by the regret in his heart.

"Zhou Yuncheng, are you even listening to me?"

Facing his mother's gaze, he nodded and said somewhat absentmindedly, "Don't worry, I won't go looking for her."

………………

The news of Shen Qingshu's return spread far and wide, but no one expected that after returning to the Shen family, she would stay inside the house and never leave.

Many people think the sun rose in the west.

They didn't know how much Shen Qingshu loved her deceased husband.

But she had been hiding at home, and no one could possibly drag her out.

They couldn't find out any more gossip; the main character didn't appear, so they could only wait.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Shen Qingshu's return, and Jiang Tian and Yun Jing were no longer surrounded by many curious glances.

Jiang Tian was busy with her own shop's business, and Yun Jing couldn't help much, so he had to do part-time work here from time to time, just as his girlfriend had suggested.

Fortunately, Jiang Tian never looked down on him.

"How does it taste this time?" Yun Jing asked Jiang Tian nervously.

Jiang Tian took a sip and looked at Yun Jing with an ambiguous gaze.

Yun Jing couldn't help but show a disappointed look: "I'll practice more, you should hurry up and throw up."

He didn't want Jiang Tian to feel wronged.

Jiang Tian raised an eyebrow: "I haven't even said anything yet, and you already think you're not good enough? You did well this time."

Yun Jing looked at Jiang Tian with an incredulous expression: "You're not lying to me, are you?"

"Of course not, I don't have that kind of free time."

Yun Jing tried to suppress his laughter, but the corners of his mouth still involuntarily turned up.

"Alright, stop putting so much pressure on yourself. Haven't you noticed that the coffee shop's business has improved a lot lately? Although I cater to mid-to-high-end customers, your face still plays a significant role. Look, all those young girls are looking at you."

Yun Jing's face is indeed impeccable; no one would say he's not good-looking.

So, even though he only showed up at the coffee shop a few times, he still attracted a large number of young female customers who liked to look at handsome men and spent money on him.

Yun Jing was initially quite happy, but upon hearing his words, he became somewhat displeased.

He took Jiang Tian's hand, concealed behind the counter: "I..."

He didn't know how to express himself; he was never good with words.

However, when he heard Jiang Tian say that he was attractive to other people in that tone, Yun Jing wanted to tell her that he hoped Jiang Tian would care about him more.

He feels insecure if she doesn't get jealous.

Even though their relationship started out abnormally, and even though their relationship period might only be one year as stated in the contract, Yun Jing still couldn't control herself.

He wanted to cherish this special relationship.

"Alright, I understand what you mean, but you have to consider how much older I am than you. Compared to you, I'm practically an old hand. I don't need to be jealous when people compliment your looks, do I?"

Jiang Tian reached out and touched Yun Jing's face: "Besides, you have a beautiful face that can bring joy to others, so you should be happy."
