"Yuanyuan, is your Zhou Jiasheng trying to fool me? It's okay to cut the rope. What should I do if I can't get the jade pendant off?" Zhao Cao saw that Zhou Yuanyuan had a teasing smile on her face, and he pulled the red rope around his neck guiltily.
Although Cao had always emphasized to Zhou Yuanyuan that she had nothing to do with Zhou Jiasheng, if the jade pendant hung on her neck for any longer than a minute, Cao felt that her words were a bit pretentious.
"Sister Cao, since my brother has given you the jade talisman as a betrothal gift, you should just accept it. Why should you return it?" As a good sister, Zhou Yuanyuan decided to help her brother fool his future sister-in-law.
"Yuanyuan, don't be ridiculous. What's with the betrothal gift? Zhou Jiasheng and I haven't met a few times, how can we even talk about such a big life event?" Zhao Cao's face flushed red at Zhou Yuanyuan's teasing, and she once again resented Zhou Jiasheng's recklessness. If Zhou Jiasheng hadn't insisted on putting the jade pendant around her neck, would she have felt so guilty in front of Zhou Yuanyuan?
Over the past year or so, Zhou Jiasheng had appeared before Cao only a few times, but each time he did, he left a profound impression on her. She felt that Zhou Jiasheng's influence on her rise from top of her class to top of her grade was significant. If it weren't for her family's burden, Cao felt she might actually have accepted Zhou Jiasheng's advances.
"Sister Cao, my brother has set his eyes on you. You are still young and can't get the jade talisman. You can test him for a couple of years first. If you really can't get along, it's not too late to return the thing later." Zhou Yuanyuan saw Cao was shy and laughed at her.
"Yuanyuan, could it be that Zhou Jiasheng didn't show up today on purpose?" After Zhou Yuanyuan said this, Zhou Jiasheng's broken appointment was turned into a "conspiracy".
"That's not the case. My brother is a fool. He wanted to get rid of the bodyguards following him and have a romantic date with you, Sister Cao, but the result..." Zhou Yuanyuan spread her hands. Although there was no result, her expression was full of contempt for Zhou Jiasheng.
"Ah? What happened to Zhou Jiasheng?" Zhao Cao's mind was immediately shifted from his slight anger towards Zhou Jiasheng to his worry about Zhou Jiasheng's safety.
"I ran into some bad guys, got beaten up, and then kidnapped." Zhou Yuanyuan was a bit disappointed. Zhou Jiasheng had been concentrating on research for the past few years, completely wasting the little martial arts skills he'd built up. When he encountered the kidnappers, he didn't even stand a chance before being knocked unconscious and put into a black bag.
Shameful! So shameful! Zhou Yuanyuan was multitasking at this moment: chatting with Cao, listening to the remote report from the Chaos Pearl, and complaining in her heart.
"Oh~! Yuanyuan, let's call the police right away!" Cao jumped up anxiously.
Cao was extremely anxious. He had seen the bodyguards around Zhou Jiasheng several times. Every time he saw Zhou Jiasheng, those bodyguards would follow him closely. Even if Zhou Jiasheng asked them to stay away, they would only stay five meters away from Zhou Jiasheng at most.
Cao had even teased Zhou Jiasheng, saying he was a young master from a wealthy family, a distinguished family with bodyguards and luxury cars. He was completely different from a country girl like her. Therefore, she wouldn't play games with Zhou Jiasheng.
Zhou Jiasheng looked a little embarrassed at the time. He wanted to explain to Cao, but couldn't bring himself to say anything.
If Zhou Jiasheng encountered any danger because of seeing her today, Cao felt that she would hate herself to death.
"Sister Cao, don't worry. My brother has been rescued now. But..." Zhou Yuanyuan looked embarrassed, but she was quickly calculating in her heart.
Judging from the grass's behavior, it's not like she said she had no feelings for Zhou Jiasheng at all? Otherwise...she should give them a push?
"Yuanyuan, what happened to Zhou Jiasheng? Is he injured? Is it serious?" Sure enough, Zhao Cao was frightened by Zhou Yuanyuan's hesitant look.
Injuried?
Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly had an idea and thought that letting Cao see an "injured" Zhou Jiasheng was a good idea.
The Chaos Pearl just arrived. It had taken the unconscious Zhou Jiasheng into the trial space and was preparing to go home.
After being "reminded" by Cao, Zhou Yuanyuan planned to let Chaos Pearl do something before releasing Zhou Jiasheng from the trial space, making Zhou Jiasheng look a little miserable and scary. Maybe Sister Cao would soften her heart and...
Hehehe...Brother will definitely thank her in the future!
After Zhou Yuanyuan made up her mind, her expression instantly turned sad. She pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, sniffed, and cried, "Sister Cao, my brother is injured. His face is swollen like a pig's head, and his foot is also injured. I don't know if he can recover to his original appearance. Especially his foot. He limps now, and I don't know if he will become a cripple in the future!"
"Ah? This...this...how could this happen?" Zhao Cao was frightened by Zhou Yuanyuan's words, and his speech was a little stammering.
"Sister Cao, don't be afraid. My brother won't dare to bother you anymore after he becomes a cripple. If he doesn't know his own limitations and still dares to chase you, I will help you beat him until his teeth are all on the ground." Zhou Yuanyuan continued to wipe the corners of her eyes and act.
"No, no, I don't dislike it..." Cao shook his head. Become a cripple? If Zhou Jiasheng became a cripple, would he still have a confident smile on his face?
For a moment, Cao felt a little confused.
Half a minute later, Zhao Cao made a decision: "Yuanyuan, I want to go see Zhou Jiasheng. Can you take me to see him? Even if he becomes a cripple, I... I still like him."
Huh? What a reversal!
This time, it was Zhou Yuanyuan's turn to be dumbfounded.
What the hell is wrong with this girl? She doesn't like the handsome Zhou Jiasheng, but instead likes Zhou Jiasheng who might become a "cripple".
Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan remained silent, Zhao Cao thought that she didn't believe him, so he quickly confessed: "Yuanyuan, I...it's not that I didn't like him before, I just felt that I was not worthy of him, so I always..."
Alright! This time, Zhou Yuanyuan finally understood Zhao Cao's train of thought. It wasn't that Cao hadn't been attracted to her brother before, but she had been suppressing her feelings because she felt the gap between them was too big. Now that Zhou Jiasheng was "lame," Cao decided to be brave.
Half an hour later, Zhou Yuanyuan brought Zhao Cao to Zhou's house.
General Zhou had been waiting in the living room for a long time, eager to be the first to see his future great-grandson's wife.
