Before leaving, Meng Jiuyi went to say goodbye to the bride and groom.
Cen Dong apologized, "I'm sorry to have spoiled your fun tonight. If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have let you come."
Hearing him say that made Meng Jiuyi feel even more guilty; it was she who had ruined their wedding.
She laughed and said, "It's definitely not a downer. I think this wedding will be unforgettable for me. After all, I've never heard of the bride and groom's blessings before. I'll have to learn them in the future."
Song Er chuckled.
"I have a lot of knowledge here, I can teach you slowly."
The girls' friendships came about in strange ways. Cen Dong was afraid that Song Er would lead Meng Jiuyi astray. He had already figured out some things from these gatherings. If Song Er really led Meng Jiuyi astray, Tan Yuchen would kill him.
As soon as he thought of Cao Cao, Cao Cao appeared. When Tan Yuchen came down the steps, Meng Jiuyi immediately slipped away without wasting a minute.
For no other reason than his devilish face, which always seemed to invite trouble indiscriminately.
Cen Dong found it both funny and absurd.
"What did you do to offend them? Why did you run away so fast?"
Tan Yuchen glanced at her back and gave a cold, curving smile.
He asked, "Is the door to the small balcony always open?"
He just went to the scene; the loose door latch was the main cause of the fall.
Cen Dong said, "It's usually locked most of the time; it's probably due to the servants' negligence."
"Is that so?"
Tan Yuchen raised an eyebrow without any meaning, and said with an ambiguous tone, "Miss Gao's reason for getting some fresh air is barely tenable. Don't you find it strange that a half-drunk old man would run up to the fourth floor?"
Cen Dong exclaimed in surprise, "You mean...?"
"Someone asked him to go."

Upon arriving at the parking area, Meng Jiuyi asked Uncle Zhuang to take Zhou Ting back. The rented S-Class Maybach was charged by the hour, and she didn't want to lose several thousand more in this race against time.
On the way down the mountain, Meng Jiuyi's phone vibrated; it was a message from Zhou Ting.
【Thank you. 】
[I'm clearly older than you. It's strange, but when I was crouching in the corner of the garden, lost and dejected, waiting for you to come, I suddenly thought to myself, if I had met someone like you back then, I probably would have moved on by now.]
Please let me know if there's anything you need me to do.
Suddenly, Meng Jiuyi's eyes felt slightly hot.
No, she doesn't need Zhou Ting's help for the time being.
Manslaughter is a fact, and Gao Xian Yue's prison sentence is pending. In the next few years, she will find evidence that she premeditatedly murdered her adoptive father, and make that square sky her eternal resting place for the rest of her life.
Feeling much lighter, Meng Jiuyi joked as he typed.
If I move to a different city, I can ask you to help me manage my vegetable garden.
Meng Jiuyi had already made up her mind. Once Gao Xianyue's verdict was handed down, she would go down the mountain to be with Sui Sui. The car window rolled down, and the cold wind whipped her face. Even the moonless night outside seemed beautiful to her.
The Cen family manor involved going downhill and then uphill. Meng Jiuyi closed his eyes and dozed off for a while. When he woke up, he thought they should have arrived, but the car was still going uphill.
"Master, are you taking the wrong road?"
The driver chuckled awkwardly and hesitated before saying, "Miss Meng, please don't be angry when I tell you."
Upon hearing this, Meng Jiuyi immediately became wary. "If you have any ulterior motives, I advise you to abandon this idea as soon as possible. If I'm not home within half an hour, my friend will call the police."
"No, no, no, you've misunderstood."
The driver said, "Just a short while ago, the car rental company I work for, and all the labor dispatch companies under it, were bought by Young Master Tan. He asked me to pick you up and take you somewhere."
Meng Jiuyi: "..."
"Is he crazy?" Her absurd anger made her tone instantly turn unfriendly. "You either drive back now, or you drop me off. I'm still your employer. Do you think this is appropriate?"
The driver quickly said, "I'm so sorry, Miss Meng. I can apologize and make amends. The Third Young Master instructed me to make sure you get to your destination, otherwise my job—"
"Otherwise, you'll lose your job?" What a domineering CEO quote.
"no."
The driver said, "The third young master said his farm is short of a manure carrier, otherwise he would have arranged for me to do that. I'd rather drive than dig manure."
"....."
Meng Jiuyi's eyelids rolled up, revealing the whites of her eyes.
The mountain road twists and turns, and the rolling green fields at night make it hard to tell whether they are flowerbeds or golf courses. The car finally stopped in front of a domed glass house with an unheard-of curved design. Gazing at the starry sky from afar was incredibly pleasant.
I saw a similar design when I had dinner with Xu Yanzhi last time. Could it be that he took it from Cen Dong's house because he thought it was interesting?
After Meng Jiuyi entered the house, Tan Yuchen was sitting on the steps, one leg bent and the other leg casually stretched out a few steps below, looking lazy and carefree.
The weather in October was still cold enough on the mountain. Meng Jiuyi was wearing a coat over her dress, but the man was only wearing a shirt, the hem of which billowed in the wind, and the cigarette between his fingers swirled in the air. He looked at her through the smoke.
Why did you hide when you saw me?
Meng Jiuyi could tell from his tone that he was looking for trouble, so he didn't hold back.
Do you think our illicit relationship is something we should publicize everywhere?
It's something I can't bear to see...
Tan Yuchen's expression grew increasingly grim, and he let out a soft scoff.
“This isn’t suitable for me. A few years ago, you secretly delivered medicine to me, but you could explain everything in detail in front of everyone. Your double standards are quite obvious.”
Neuropathy!
Meng Jiuyi didn't want to talk to him about this at all.
"Tan Yuchen, I need to go down the mountain now. Please have that manure carrier take me there immediately, or I will sue you for restricting my personal freedom."
"Others have gone home. I'm a company with a conscience; I can't work 24/7."
Tan Yuchen said indifferently, "It's possible to walk down, it only takes about ten hours."
Let's go!
Meng Jiuyi would rather die than beg him for a single word, but before she even reached the door, the sensor door closed automatically, and the mechanical beep sounded more like a man teasing her.
All her good mood tonight couldn't outweigh her current anger. Meng Jiuyi exploded and was about to settle scores with him when suddenly someone picked her up from behind.
The world spun around her, and she was pinned down on the sofa by the man. Before she could even gasp, he silenced her with his mouth.
Tan Yuchen kissed her without restraint, his kisses lingering along her earlobe, his words carrying a dark undertone.
"If you ever hide from me again, I'll bite you to death!"
He then took her earlobe in his mouth and bit it hard.
Meng Jiuyi cried out in pain, but the sound stopped abruptly halfway through—his hand slipped inside her coat collar, where a camisole was worn, which he easily pulled down.
She quickly grabbed him.
"no!"
I could stop him at the banquet, but I can't now. I'll just let him have his way.
