A proud and unruly prince, after winning the heart of the woman he loves...
I don't even know what to say.
All I want to do is cry.
That's fucking shameful.
Unaware of his impending madness and receiving no response, Shu Yi calmly tapped the window sill with her fingertips, reminding him to keep driving.
"Let's drive first."
Coming to his senses, Zhang Youye cleared his throat, feigning composure, and continued to start the car.
The two wandered aimlessly for a long time without exchanging a word.
With Zhang Youye as her driver, Shu Yi was quite content and continued to gaze out the window.
The scene that happened five minutes ago seemed to be just an added ingredient between the two of them; she didn't intend for Zhang Youye to express anything about it.
After all, in her mind, falling in love with someone can happen in a fleeting moment of attraction.
And fall in love with someone.
It doesn't seem that easy.
Feelings can be cultivated, but emotions cannot.
But feelings are not something that can be explained in a few words. A rapidly beating heart is honest, and the body will never betray itself.
As I said before, since we're going to have a marriage alliance anyway, and we have a choice now, we have to choose one we like.
The main thing is that it has to be pleasing to the eye.
Once again expressing her firm agreement with the thoughts deep in her heart, Shu Yi subconsciously looked up at the man beside her.
Seeing his brow furrowed, as if he were deep in thought, she asked, "What are you thinking about?"
During the silence between the two, Zhang Youye was racking his brains trying to figure out how to continue the conversation.
He turned and looked at her for a moment, but before he could respond, Shu Yi's phone rang again in the car.
The number flashing on the screen had no name in the contacts, and its location was in Jingnan. Shuyi hesitated whether to answer.
"The number wasn't saved in my contacts, could it be a scam?"
The number in front of him seemed somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place it. Zhang Youye gestured for him to answer the call first.
When she answered the phone, Shu Yi didn't say anything; all she heard was a soft, feminine voice from the other end.
"Sister Yi, it's me, Qianxin. Where are you now? Can we meet?"
I'm not very close to these two siblings, so why are they all coming up to me one after another today?
After a moment's thought, Shu Yi asked, "You want to meet me? Is there something you need?"
"Yes, Sister Yi, I have something I want to tell you in person, and I hope you can meet with me."
The other party's tone sounded sincere, and their manner did not make Shuyi feel impatient.
Shu Yi glanced at the man beside her and softly hummed in agreement: "Okay, where are you now? I'll come find you."
"I'm at the Kabu Santo Hotel now, and I'll be waiting for you in the restaurant, okay?"
"Okay, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Shu Yi lowered her head slightly and searched for hotel locations on Kabu Santo Island on her phone.
Seeing this, Zhang Youye took the initiative to speak: "The hotel your sister mentioned belongs to my family. I'll take you there now."
"Huh? How did you know it was Shu Qianxin calling?" Shu Yi asked.
"The number looked familiar when I saw it, and I remembered it as soon as I heard the voice."
After a pause, noticing Shu Yi's hesitant expression, Zhang Youye smiled knowingly and offered his explanation.
“When I was a child, I often went to your ancestral home. At that time, your uncle’s family had not yet moved out, and I would play with the brother and sister.”
"So, you're saying you have a pretty good relationship with these siblings? But when you saw Shu Chuanran last time, why did you look like you wanted to devour him?"
Zhang Youye also described his relationship with the Shu siblings as unclear.
Perhaps it's because of the Zhang family's position in the industry, or perhaps it's because the elders of the Shu family gave instructions beforehand.
When the three of them played together, Shu Chuanran was always very polite. Whenever there was a new toy in the house, he would always give it to Zhang Youye first.
So the two of them didn't get along particularly well, nor did they have any particularly awkward interactions.
In short, what did he give Zhang Youye?
It's just a polite way of saying it.
Being too polite makes it difficult to get too close.
As for Shu Qianxin, this delicate and frail young lady, Zhang Youye didn't know how to describe her.
The moment Zhang Youye first saw her at the ancestral home when he was a child, he knew without having to think too much.
This is yet another well-behaved young lady who has been carefully raised.
She was very spoiled as a child; if she bumped or bruised herself even slightly, she would pout and cry.
In his memory, Zhang Youye would always frown in annoyance whenever he heard her cry. Sometimes, when he got tired of hearing it, he would take Shu Chuanran away to play somewhere else.
Seeing her two older brothers leave, she pouted and followed behind them, sobbing all the while.
If it weren't for the sake of the family, Zhang Youye would have really wanted to turn around and tell her to shut up.
Ultimately, the relationship between the two families was what it was.
Even as they grew older, the three of them would still occasionally play together.
Time quickly passed to the age of youthful innocence. Zhang Youye was not only the heir of the Jing circle, but also possessed a handsome appearance, making him irresistible to everyone.
Seeing the three of them often playing together, Qin Zhi would intentionally or unintentionally discuss the matter of a marriage alliance between the two families with Elder Shu.
However, who is Zhang Youye? He is an unruly and arrogant prince. How could he allow his family to control his marriage?
Upon learning of Qin Zhi's intentions, Zhang Youye, who was not interested in delicate women to begin with, realized that Qin Zhi had such intentions.
In order to avoid being controlled by his elders in his marriage, he went even further, partying outside and not coming home every night.
Later, when his rivals learned of this, Zhang Youye was quickly framed and imprisoned in a juvenile detention center by Zhang Jinnan.
In his mind, as long as his family didn't control his marriage, it didn't matter where he was confined.
Later, they learned that Zhang Youye had gotten into trouble and was imprisoned in a juvenile detention center, and that the Shu siblings had been sent abroad for further studies.
Now that I think about it carefully...
Zhang Youye truly has no regrets about his mischievousness back then.
He was framed by his rivals to escape an arranged marriage. If he hadn't been framed, he wouldn't have gone to jail, and if he hadn't gone to jail, he wouldn't have met his good brother Lu Kechen.
I can't run into Lu Kechen.
How could he possibly have the opportunity to go to Jiaxing?
Without the opportunity to go to Jiaxing, how could he possibly fall in love at first sight with the woman beside him?
After a series of unexpected events, he finally had the opportunity to meet the woman in his life.
There's really not much to say about love.
Thinking of this, Zhang Youye subconsciously smiled and slowly stopped at the red light, turning his head to look at Shu Yi.
"Shu Chuanran has always been polite to me since we were little. I can't say whether we got along well or badly, but we weren't as close as the other brothers. As for Shu Qianxin, I think I still need to make something clear to you."
"What's up?"
"Do you remember I told you before that I was put in my second uncle's juvenile detention center?"
Seeing her nod, Zhang Youye spoke again.
"Before this, your grandfather."
"No, it should be your aunt. She really wants your sister to marry into our family."
