After dinner, Zhou Mei wanted to ease the relationship between the two, so she smiled and said to Zhou Zhengyang, "Brother, please send Sister Zhier off for me. I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."

Although his sister's excuse was fake, Zhou Zhengyang still nodded.

Seeing that her elder brother agreed, Zhou Mei took Shaoyao and left quickly to prevent Sister Zhier from regretting it.

After seeing his sister leave, Zhou Zhengyang finally had a chance to be alone with Wen Zhi. "Sister Zhier, can I take you home?"

"Let's go!" Wen Zhi didn't say any more. It was indeed time to go home.

After Wen Zhi got on the carriage, Zhou Zhengyang also got on. He had to make things clear with Wen Zhi since he finally had the chance to explain.

If he allowed the little girl to misunderstand, and when she accepted someone else, he would have no place to cry.

The carriage moved forward steadily, and Zhou Zhengyang explained to Wen Zhi, "Sister Zhier, I was confused last time, please don't be angry with me, okay?"

Wen Zhi said angrily, "Zhi'er doesn't remember what happened last time."

"Zhi'er, I didn't mean to say those words last time. During these days when you were away, I was in agony and regret every day."

Zhou Zhengyang no longer cares about his face. His heart and eyes are full of Wen Zhi. Although he feels that he is not worthy of Wen Zhi now, he is unwilling to give her to others.

"Zhi'er, I love you!"

This confession came a little late, but Zhou Zhengyang finally dared to face his own heart.

"Then why did you reject me before?" Wen Zhi asked with red eyes.

"It's not a rejection. It's just that Brother Zhengyang is not brave enough and feels that he is not worthy of you, so he said those words." Zhou Zhengyang explained.

"Then Brother Zhengyang, why do you feel you are worthy of me now?" Wen Zhi felt that she was only away from the capital for a short period of time.

"Because I'm afraid Zhier will marry someone else, Zhier, can you give me another chance?" Zhou Zhengyang asked cautiously.

"What if you feel you are not worthy of me in the future?" Wen Zhi wanted to make sure whether Zhou Zhengyang was firm enough.

"Zhi'er, give me a year, and I'll go to the Wen Mansion to propose marriage after a year, okay?"

Zhou Zhengyang decided to spend a year doing something to prove that he could bring happiness to Wen Zhi.

"Zhi'er hasn't agreed to you!" Wen Zhi felt a little embarrassed when she heard the proposal.

"Zhi'er!" Zhou Zhengyang looked at Wen Zhi aggrievedly, and his expression was as pitiful as it could be.

Wen Zhi's heart softened instantly. Although the girl was usually very powerful, she was actually the most soft-hearted.

"If you say so, then it's one year at a time!" Wen Zhi was happy to be confessed to by the person she liked, but since she was angry with Zhou Zhengyang before, she couldn't get over it. The little girl was still a little spoiled.

"Thank you, Zhier." Zhou Zhengyang was very happy when he heard that the little girl was willing to wait for him.

"Miss, we're here!" The voice of the maid outside the carriage interrupted their conversation.

"Got it!" Wen Zhi heard the maid's voice and was about to get up and go down, but Zhou Zhengyang grabbed her hand.

"Zhi'er, you can't go back on your promise to me, and you can't look at other men anymore."

What Zhou Zhengyang feared most was that Wen Zhi would look for other men. After all, Aunt Mu didn't like bad men.

"Brother Zhengyang, what other man? Zhier has never seen him before?"

Wen Zhi was a little surprised. She wondered when she had ever met another man.

"Aunt Mu, I'm not going to meet another man for you. Can you promise me that I won't go?"

Wen Zhi felt like crying but had no tears. Where did Brother Zhengyang hear the news? She herself didn't even know that she had seen another man.

"Brother Zhengyang, mother never asks me about my relationship. She always tells me that everything depends on fate."

When Zhou Zhengyang heard this, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he decided to just let things take their course.

It was not until Wen Zhi had been in there for a long time that Zhou Zhengyang asked the driver to drive back home. From now on, he would have to work harder to be worthy of Zhier.

When he returned to Zhou's house, Zhou Mei was still awake and waiting for him.

"Brother, you are back. Did you send Sister Zhier back home safely?"

Hearing his sister's concern for Wen Zhi, Zhou Zhengyang was not angry at all.

"She has been safely sent back home. Didn't you say she felt sick in the stomach? Why didn't she go to bed early?"

Zhou Zhengyang felt warm at heart when he saw his sister waiting for him to come home. In such a big capital city, it is a kind of happiness to have the company of relatives.

"I said that on purpose. I wanted big brother to send Sister Zhier back." Zhou Mei blinked mischievously.

Zhou Zhengyang touched her head lovingly. The two grew up together and had a very good brother and sister relationship.

"Brother, you must be tired. Go back and have some rest." Zhou Mei had already heard from Shaoyao how hard her brother worked, and she felt very distressed.

"Brother, you are not sleepy. Sit down and chat with me. Tell me about the things at home."

Zhou Zhengyang stopped Zhou Mei who was trying to urge him to go back, and the brother and sister sat in the yard and talked about family matters.

Most of the time, Zhou Mei was talking while Zhou Zhengyang listened and occasionally said a few words. The brother and sister had a very happy chat.

Wen Mansion.

After Wen Zhi came back, she went to Tingzhuxuan first to say hello to her father and mother.

"Mom, Zhi'er is back." Wen Zhi's misunderstanding with Zhou Zhengyang was now resolved, and she was in a very happy mood.

Murong Shu listened to his daughter's cheerful and happy voice, and thought of his daughter going to send Zhou Mei to Zhou Mansion today, Murong Shu instantly understood.

"Why did you come back so late? Didn't you say you would come back after sending Mei'er off?" Murong Shu deliberately teased his daughter.

"Mei'er couldn't bear to leave me, so she asked me to stay for dinner. That's why I came back so late."

In fact, Wen Zhi had already sent someone back home to inform Murong Shu, and Murong Shu asked on purpose.

"Next time you come back late, remember to notify your family to pick you up, otherwise it will be dangerous to be alone!"

"Mom, shouldn't you be worried about others being in danger? Besides, Brother Zhengyang is here to take me back, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

Wen Zhi felt that with her kung fu, anyone who dared to provoke her would be looking for trouble. Although she looked delicate, that was just an appearance.

"So it was your brother Zhengyang who sent you back. Didn't you call him Young Master Zhou yesterday? And today you're calling him Brother Zhengyang again."

"Daddy, look at mother, Zhier is tired, she needs to go back and rest first." Wen Zhi said and left in a hurry.

After Wen Zhi left, Murong Shu couldn't help laughing, and Wen Jing smiled dotingly.

"Be careful, Zhi'er might get angry with you."

"Husband, did you hear that? Brother Zhengyang called me again. I think they have made peace."

"That means our method works!" After Wen Jing reminded him, Murong Shu remembered.

"Thanks to my husband for being so smart. He came up with such a brilliant idea."

Although they are already an old couple, Murong Shu still loves to praise Wen Jing as before.

"Don't imitate your daughter's way of speaking in the future." Wen Jing held Murong Shu in his arms and whispered.

Murong Shu didn't react for a moment, then after thinking about it, she realized that it was the words "Brother Zhengyang" that made her husband jealous.
