Chapter 44 "I want to protect you."

Zhou Siwei stood up and said, "I heard that Jin Ye was kidnapped by Yun Qing before, and his phone was disconnected. I was worried, so I had to come to his house late at night to bother him."

"Thank you for your kindness. Please take a seat." Wei Liangchen sat down on the sofa, leaned back and crossed his legs. "I heard from Ning Tuzhen that he originally wanted you to transport the goods?"

Zhou Siwei sat down again and smiled, "I said I didn't know what he was going to transport at first, did you believe me, Marshal?"

"Do you think I believe it?"

"Later, when Yun Qing tried to steal the goods, I realized that they were local cigarettes. In order to avoid being implicated, I simply let him take them away."

Jin Ye was surprised at what Zhou Siwei said, which was somewhat different from what he had just said. So, was he on guard against Wei Liangchen?

Mrs. Wei also looked at him but said nothing.

Wei Liangchen curled his lips, "Then you are really lucky."

"It was also thanks to the young marshal that the guards arrived in time, otherwise the people on my ship might not have been saved." These words were said modestly, and those who heard them felt a bit ironic.

Wei Liangchen looked at him, his dark eyes flashing.

Zhou Siwei also looked at him, and something flashed across his eyes.

I don’t know if it was Jin Ye’s illusion, but I always felt like there were sparks crackling in the air.

Zhou Siwei is so smart, maybe he has already guessed that Wei Liangchen wants to harm him?

Also, how much did he guess about her relationship with Wei Liangchen?

Mrs. Wei broke the strange atmosphere, looked at her son, and said with some dissatisfaction: "We were just talking about Jin Ye and Mr. Zhou's marriage, and you interrupted us as soon as you came."

"Oh? What do you want?"

"I want them to get engaged as soon as possible."

Wei Liangchen sneered, "I think you are the emperor, not the supervisor. The matter of local cigarettes has not been completely resolved, and Master Zhou will have to help investigate. Dad and I also have a lot of things to do. It won't be too late to talk about it after the matter is over."

Mrs. Wei asked, "Is there anything else to investigate? Please don't make things difficult for your future uncle."

"Future uncle?" Wei Liangchen looked at Xu Jinye, his eyes darkening, "Did the third sister agree?"

Jin Ye's eyes met his, and the fleeting sharpness in his eyes reminded her of what he had said before. How could she dare to agree?

"Madam, my second brother is right. Uncle Wei's matter is a big deal, and mine is a small matter. At this critical moment, don't let my small matter distract them."

These words sounded well-behaved and sensible, and were consistent with her character of being afraid of Wei Liangchen. Mrs. Wei was unable to refute them for a while.

"Look, Third Sister is so sensible." Wei Liangchen looked at Zhou Siwei with a happier expression, "Mr. Zhou, is it okay for you to wait for a few days?"

Zhou Siwei smiled and nodded, "It's true that a few days won't make a difference."

Mrs. Wei took a sip of tea and said, "Okay, let's wait until your father finishes his work here and returns to Suzhou."

Zhou Siwei glanced at Jin Ye and said, "Madam Wei, Marshal, do you mind if I talk to Jin Ye alone?"

Mrs. Wei suddenly realized, "Look at me, I'm so silent."

But a certain young marshal didn't let anyone know. Even after Mrs. Wei went upstairs, he still sat there unmoved, his thousand-volt eyes moving back and forth between the young couple.

"Does the young commander have anything else to tell you?" Zhou Siwei asked.

"It's okay, you guys talk about your own things, don't bother me." Wei Liangchen said coldly, "I just suddenly remembered that someone promised me something not long ago."

Of course Jin Ye could hear that he was referring to her telling Zhou Siwei that she didn't like him and had cut off all contact with him.

But, say it to his face?

This bastard, how embarrassing it is for others!

"There are some things I can't say in front of others. Jinye, shall we go for a walk in the yard?" Zhou Siwei said.

Two eyes looked at her at the same time.

Jin Ye felt as if two strong lights were shining on her, and she could only choose to avoid the strongest one, "Okay, okay."

It was as if he had wheels on his feet and he slid out in a flash.

Who cares if the person behind me has broken his back teeth?

The mansion in Haicheng also had a fountain exactly like the one in Sucheng. They walked to the fountain. Jin Ye looked around like a thief and saw that there was no one around. Then he asked, "Well, what do you want to tell me?"

Zhou Siwei found it funny, "Are you that afraid of Marshal Wei?"

"Yes, I am. He has bullied me a lot." Jin Ye answered truthfully. Bullying is still bullying no matter what kind it is.

Zhou Siwei said: "I want to protect you."

Jin Ye was stunned.

"You were frightened today." Zhou Siwei blamed himself a little, "In fact, I was not far away and wanted to save you, but Young Marshal Wei was one step faster. I saw him protect you and get you out of danger safely, so I didn't go over."

He was there too! He also saw the whole process of Wei Liangchen saving her. Jin Ye's smile was a little stiff. "You don't have to blame yourself. I don't mean to blame you at all."

"I blame myself." Zhou Siwei looked at her. "I heard that you went to Zhou Mansion to find me. You wanted to tell me the news about the batch of local cigarettes and remind me to be careful, right?"

Jinye nodded, "Yes."

Zhou Siwei didn't ask her where she got the news, but his eyes darkened, "Thank you."

"Why are you thanking me? You were the one who noticed it first and made the arrangements. I didn't do anything to help you."

"You have this intention, this is the most important thing." Zhou Siwei's eyes became deeper, "I didn't expect that you would take this risk for me. It shows that you are also moved by me, right?"

Jin Ye said awkwardly, "I came here to thank you for helping me twice before. One time was about my uncle, and the other time was about my classmate Zhang Zhilin. If it weren't for my second brother holding him back, he would have been released long ago."

Zhou Siwei laughed at himself, "I thought you were moved by what I said to you last time in Guoyuan. I didn't expect it was my own will."

"I'm sorry." Jin Ye really felt sorry.

"There's no need to feel sorry for love." Zhou Siwei smiled, "Is there someone you like?"

Jin Ye had mixed feelings: "I don't think I'm worthy of you."

Zhou Siwei thought for a moment, "So, you don't dislike me at all."

His smile was so warm and refreshing that Jin Ye thought that she did have some feelings for him.

"I have a suggestion."

Zhou Siwei said, "I know you started dating me because you were forced by Mrs. Wei, but since you rejected me, how do you know what kind of person she will arrange for you next time? I think I'm not bad, so why don't you use me as a shield? At the same time, my family has also put some pressure on me, so I can use you as a shield too. We can have a fake marriage, and when you find someone you like, you can leave at any time. What do you think?"

Jin Ye was stunned again.

How can there be such a nice person?!

He was right. How should she deal with it the next time Mrs. Wei introduced someone to her? At least Zhou Siwei had always respected her and never forced her. She felt very relaxed with him.

Jin Ye was shocked, "Why are you so nice to me?" She didn't think she was good enough to deserve him to do this.

Zhou Siwei didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly smiled, "The first time I saw you, I wanted to treat you well."

Jin Ye's eyes widened.

This was undoubtedly the most beautiful sentence she had ever heard.
