"Brother, I don't mean anything else. I just stayed outside for a long time. I haven't seen my cousin in many years. He looked familiar, so I asked." Wen Ziqing guessed the reason why Zhu Xiaojun's face changed drastically. He wanted to smile bitterly, but unfortunately he couldn't.
Wen Ziqing paid little attention when Cao Zhizhi sat with Zhu Xiaojun. Cao Zhizhi's fate in his previous life was not good, and he died before he was thirty. Wen Ziqing had not seen Cao Zhizhi since his rebirth. It had been thirty or forty years since he last saw him, so it was not surprising that he did not recognize him.
When Cao Zhizhi approached Zhou Yuanyuan, Wen Ziqing realized that Cao Zhizhi was his cousin whom he had not seen for many years. Seeing Cao Zhizhi's admiring look towards Zhou Yuanyuan, Wen Ziqing felt sour in his heart and bitter in his mouth, so he went to Zhu Xiaojun to ask him something.
"Hahaha..." Zhu Xiaojun felt that other than laughing, he didn't know what to say. This guy had such bad luck that he brought this girl to her fiancé.
No, he's not her fiancé anymore, he should be called her "ex-fiancé". Now Zhou Yuanyuan is the candidate for granddaughter-in-law that all the noble families in Kyoto are vying for. What does Guan Wenzi have to do with it?
"Wen Ziqing, I'm not saying anything bad to you, Zhu Xiaojun, but as a man, you should take responsibility for your own actions. Your engagement with the Zhou family has been annulled, but you still don't allow me to pursue a girlfriend? Aren't you being too picky?" After Zhu Xiaojun came to his senses, he glanced at Wen Ziqing with his eyes slanted.
Wen Ziqing's face darkened at Zhu Xiaojun's taunting. Wen Ziqing had known Zhu Xiaojun in a previous life. He was a straightforward person, always speaking his mind. His father, Zhu Xiangyang, disdained his "innocent" nature, otherwise Wen Ziqing wouldn't have singled him out for questioning. Now, despite the question, Wen Ziqing felt like his heart was being tormented.
The news of Yuanyuan's breaking off the engagement with him had spread throughout Kyoto? How could this be? And that wasn't enough. Yuanyuan had already caught the eye of the various powerful families. Wen Ziqing, with his past life experience, knew that the major families in Kyoto all had talented young men, like Zhu Xiaojun's younger brother, Zhu Xiaoshan, who would achieve great things in the future. If it weren't for their childhood sweetheart status, Wen Ziqing felt that he was still slightly inferior to Zhu Xiaoshan.
Wen Ziqing only discovered yesterday after arriving home that his marriage to Zhou Yuanyuan had been disrupted by Grandma Feng Xueying. Thinking of Wu Xiuli's malicious smile, Wen Ziqing wanted to rush to the Zhou family's house and explain everything to Zhou Yuanyuan. Unfortunately...the timing wasn't right, and Wen Ziqing couldn't make it this time.
During the day today, Wen Ziqing was busy keeping an eye on people, so he had to put Zhou Yuanyuan aside for the time being. Before he solved his own troubles, Wen Ziqing felt that he was not qualified to stand in front of Zhou Yuanyuan.
But now, after Zhou Yuanyuan had stumbled into this bar, Wen Ziqing's longing for her grew like wild weeds in his heart. If he wasn't afraid of scaring his little girl, Wen Ziqing would have wanted to just rush over to Zhou Yuanyuan and tell her how much he missed her. For three years, over a thousand days and nights, especially those hundred or so days worse than death, it was the image of Zhou Yuanyuan, now fused with his heart, that kept Wen Ziqing going.
Seeing his cousin Cao Zhizhi beaming with joy as he chatted with Zhou Yuanyuan, Wen Ziqing wished he could be Cao Zhizhi. When had his little girl become so easygoing? A malicious scoundrel like Cao Zhizhi deserved a slap in the face. His daughter, Yuanyuan, wasn't like other superficial women who appreciated men's attentions. Wen Ziqing was furious.
Unfortunately, Wen Ziqing guessed wrong. Zhou Yuanyuan was in a bad mood today, and Cao happened to come over. It was better to have someone to chat with than to stare at the drink menu in a daze!
As for Wen Ziqing's greedy eyes, Zhou Yuanyuan had already automatically filtered them out. When she saw Wen Ziqing for the first time, Wen Ziqing did not come over to say hello. Zhou Yuanyuan had already pulled him out of her heart. Although it hurt, Zhou Yuanyuan could only endure it.
Not to mention that Wen Ziqing was secretly thinking of some idea to make Cao Yizhi give up, on this side, Zhou Yuanyuan and Cao Yizhi were having a very pleasant conversation.
It's rare to run into an acquaintance when visiting a bar, and Cao's conversation was not annoying, so Zhou Yuanyuan was willing to sit for a while.
"Zhou Yuanyuan, let me treat you to a drink? Would you like Coke or juice?" Cao suggested when he saw Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes lingering on the drink menu in her hand.
Xiaoyu was now terribly anxious. Her master had said she wasn't allowed to bother her except in matters of life and death. Should she tell him about her discovery? She should have stopped him before he came in. This place was a bit eerie. Not only were there goblins, but also monks. Had she fallen into a deep slumber for hundreds of thousands of years and fallen behind? Goblins and monks could coexist harmoniously; even the gods couldn't.
Xiaoyu discovered that the bar was divided into two halls, left and right. The hall on the left where Zhou Yuanyuan and the others were sitting was filled with single men and women. The decoration style of this hall was more elegant, just like a Western restaurant.
But something was wrong on the right side of the bar. Outside each private room, there was a formation set up to isolate spiritual consciousness.
Had they guessed wrong from the start? Was Qingxin not a nightclub, but a place for trysts? Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed.
But why would the monks open such a bar in the secular world? What was their ulterior motive? Xiaoyu wanted to tell Zhou Yuanyuan to leave quickly, but she hesitated because of Zhou Yuanyuan's initial instructions.
Forget it, forget it. It's rare for the master to be happy. At most, when things get out of hand, let Zhuzhu take action! Xiaoyu made up her mind and stopped worrying. With the Chaos Pearl, Zhou Yuanyuan has absolute strength. Xiaoyu's worries are unnecessary.
"Juice, please! I don't like Coke." Zhou Yuanyuan, unaware of Xiaoyu's dilemma, immediately followed Cao's lead and ordered a glass of juice. Coke had only recently arrived in China and was still considered a high-end beverage. But Zhou Yuanyuan had never liked it in her life. Seeing Coke always reminded her of the phrase "a belly full of anger."
"Waiter," Cao Zhizhi called out. Zhou Yuanyuan's willingness to stay for a glass of juice was exactly what Cao Zhizhi had hoped for.
A male waiter in a suit and vest heard Cao Yizhi's call and immediately came over. He bowed and asked, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
"First, give this lady a glass of orange juice, and then give me a glass of red wine." Cao Zhizhi ordered.
