"You can't just forget about it. Just treat it as a joke. It never happened. Everything will be the same from now on." Qi Sui was really afraid of being rejected, and even more afraid that Shen Yu would be embarrassed because of this, so she had to give up, hoping to save the current relationship.
"This sounds familiar, have I heard it before?" the system asked.
Sometimes Qi Sui feels really helpless when faced with such a system.
After a long while, Shen Yu murmured in a low voice: "why did... Madam Qi like me?"
This time it's Qi Sui's turn to be caught off guard. She seemed to not understand what she meant, so she began to explain her feelings: "I don't need a reason to like you. I don't know how to say it more sincerely, but I want to see you every day. Yesterday, when we discussed marriage, it was the first time I knew I could marry the woman I loved, and all I could think about was you."
Shen Yu didn't expect her to have such a plan, and her face immediately turned red. She said anxiously: "Madam Qi... stop talking."
Qi Sui has always been a coward in love. She understood her sexual orientation when she was in school. Although she had a few secret crushes, she never took action. This time, she was honest with Shen Yu, which was a huge breakthrough. Seeing a light blush on Shen Yu's cheeks, she also felt uncomfortable, so she turned her face away, but she still muttered: "This is all my true feelings."
There's another silence, and the two of them understood each other tacitly, and no one said anything.
The system couldn't help but ask, "Host, can you do it?"
Qi Sui couldn't stand being questioned, especially in such an embarrassing situation. Coupled with the heavy atmosphere in the air, she shed two tears in anger.
Shen Yu was immediately frightened, and she was at a loss as to what to do with her hands. She wanted to wipe her tears, but she just held her face. Feeling the warm touch on her face, Qi Sui breathed a sigh of relief, tears in her eyes, and looked up pitifully: "Madam Shen, don't be angry with me."
"Why would I be angry with you?" She's too happy to say anything. Instead of saying the second half of the sentence, she gently wiped her tears with her fingertips and said, "Today's events were too sudden. Please give me some time. I will deal with my family affairs and then give you an answer. How about this?"
Qu Sui pulled her hands down and placed them on her legs, then lowered her head and leaned on her arms, as if begging: "I will never be greedy, even if you only like me a little bit."
Shen Yu felt a little pain in her heart. Although she had been living a life of luxury since she was a child, she didn't think she was worthy of her sincerity. She whispered, "Qi Sui, look up."
Qi Sui raised her head obediently, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Shen Yu quietly.
Shen Yu saw a few strands of hair on her forehead, raised her fingers to smooth them out for her, and smiled: "I know your heart, and I will never let you down, just give me some more time."
Qi Sui nodded repeatedly, and there was no thought of refusing.
Ruo Wei outside the door calculated the time and reminded at the right time: "Miss, have dinner first."
Three days later, Shen Yu and Ruo Wei left Yunyan Village and set off back to Shen Mansion. Before she left, she handed the orchard over to Qi Sui to take care of. "I have already told my father about this matter, and he has agreed. You can do things without worry. If you need anything, you can also find Wang Wu in the village. I have told him, he will definitely agree to your request."
Qi Sui held onto the window sill of the carriage and kept reminding her, "You must eat the food and fruit I give you on time. When you are done, just ask me and I will bring it to you."
They separated with great difficulty. Qi Sui looked at the carriage going away and suddenly felt empty in her heart.
The system said sourly: "Don't look, they are gone."
But she looked melancholy: "You don't understand, when you reach my age and experience my life, you will understand it naturally."
The system said perfunctorily: "Yeah , I only remember you said that you wanted to take back the family property and give the second uncle's family a good slap in the face."
Qi Sui suddenly came back to her senses. In the past few days, other fruit trees have been planted in the orchard. Shen Yu is dealing with the affairs of the manor, so Cheng An hasn't brought Cheng Bao to the manor, he continued to stake out the gambling house for her and record Qi Cheng's whereabouts.
"I've planted a lot of vegetables recently. I haven't seen Boss Liu for a long time. Let's go to the town tomorrow."
The next morning, she took Changsheng and loaded dozens of kilograms of vegetables to Luoshui Town. After selling the vegetables, she chatted with Boss Liu for a while. After saying this, she went straight to find Cheng An.
Carpenter Cheng was sharpening a pen for Baojie. When he saw her coming, he said, "Brother An isn't here."
"Thank you, uncle. I'll leave Changsheng here for now and come get it later."
Carpenter Cheng nodded, as if to agree.
After Qi Sui settled Changsheng, she trotted to the gambling house to find Cheng An, and sure enough, she saw him at a tea stall near the gambling house.
"Give me a cup of tea." She sat down opposite Cheng An.
Cheng An pushed the snacks on the table towards her. "He came later than usual these days. He was drunk every time he came to the gambling house, so he lost a lot, but he never missed a day."
Qi Sui took the tea and blew the hot air. "No one from the Qi Mansion came to look for him?"
"No, I used to see a servant with him, but I haven't seen him in the past few days."
She carefully searched the remaining memories of the original owner in her mind. There were very few memories about Qi Chen but she did remember a vague face, maybe it was his servant.
Qi Sui thought for too long, and when she came back to her senses, she found that Cheng An's eyes were full of inquiry. She suddenly remembered that when she entrusted this matter to him, he didn't even ask a single question. Maybe he also had doubts in his heart now.
She explained: "Qi Cheng is my cousin, but I have already set up my own business and have nothing to do with them. However, I have a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment. I will repay them the way they treated me."
Cheng An said: "They treated you badly. " Not a question, but an affirmation.
Qi Sui thought about it carefully and realized that it was not that it's bad for her, but that it was bad for the original owner. She had to seek justice for the original owner.
"They treat the eldest wife's daughter badly."
Cheng An looked away and said, "Sister Bao always talks about you. If you need me, just ask."
"That's very righteous. I'll invite you to the wedding in the future." She clinked the tea bowl with his and said, "I'll owe you that for now."
Cheng An smiled rarely and then finished the tea in the bowl.
When Qi Cheng came out of the gambling house this time, he looked very proud. It seemed that he had been very lucky recently. He even threw a few pieces of silver to the servant outside the door and said, "I'll treat you to a drink!"
Qi Sui recognized those people. The servant was the one who drove Qi Cheng out last time and beat him up. She thought to herself, I didn't expect Qi Cheng to be so magnanimous.
There were several gamblers following behind him. Seeing that Qi Cheng was able to win so much, they came over to ask for advice: "Sir, I wonder how you won? Teach us a thing or two so that we can treat you to a drink one day."
He glanced at them and said casually, "How do you know about luck?"
These people refused to give up. Qi Cheng couldn't get rid of them and said impatiently, "If you have the time, you might as well go to the temple to burn incense and pray for the blessings of the gods and Buddhas. What are you pulling me for?" Then he left with a flick of his sleeves.
They were so angry that they cursed his ancestors several times, and Qi Sui probably got cursed as well.
The author has something to say:
Let's interview Qi Sui about how she was able to pursue her sweetheart?
Qi Sui: "Of course my feelings are so moving that heaven and earth can bear witness to it."
Shen Yu smiled slightly.
Qi Sui touched her nose and said, "Plus Two tears."
The love line is finally on the agenda, and the career line cannot be delayed.
