Chapter 861: Chapter 355: Spring Has Co_2
“I just said sothing, and you imdiately jumped out?”
Zheng Yanyan quickly snapped back.
The two of them argued back and forth in the group chat for a while.
anwhile, Lu Lin had already started privately ssaging Zhou Yuwen.
She asked Zhou Yuwen, Yanyan ca to see you?
“Yeah.”
“What happened?”
Lu Lin was also quite curious. Zhou Yuwen sighed and shared a brief summary of the situation.
After hearing his explanation, Lu Lin chuckled lightly, saying, “Traveling miles to find her husband, you must be pretty happy.”
“It’s alright. (Sighs)”
Zhou Yuwen sighed again, saying, when soone cos all the way here, honestly, it does feel quite touching.
He recounted seeing Zheng Yanyan outside his house, saying it was indeed surprising at that mont—Yanyan as a girl traveling all this way.
“Really feel I’ve let her down a bit.”
Lu Lin was understanding, rarely causing any trouble for Zhou Yuwen.
To the point that it gave Zhou Yuwen the mistaken impression that he could discuss anything with Lu Lin.
But in truth, hearing him say these things, Lu Lin undeniably felt uncomfortable inside.
No matter how gracious a woman may appear, if she likes a man, she certainly doesn’t like hearing him talk about other won in front of her.
Yet Zhou Yuwen lacked such awareness.
Which made Lu Lin feel frustrated as she listened.
She said, “If I knew you were so moved, I’d have co to see you too.”
“Don’t, Linjie, don’t co and add to the chaos.” Zhou Yuwen replied, smiling wryly.
“…”
Though Lu Lin felt upset inside, she knew Zhou Yuwen was quite troubled at the mont and didn’t dwell on this topic but turned the conversation to work matters instead.
They chatted a bit longer before ending the conversation.
Exiting the chat, Lu Lin sat dazed in her office for a while.
Actually, a few days ago, Lu Lin had considered going to Xu Huai to find Zhou Yuwen.
Thinking she’d never been to Xu Huai before, it might be nice to visit and have a look around.
But she worried that showing up so suddenly might trouble Zhou Yuwen.
After much internal conflict, she eventually didn’t dare go.
Now hearing that Zheng Yanyan had gone to Xu Huai, Lu Lin felt a mix of emotions.
She suddenly felt a bit envious of Zheng Yanyan.
It seed like Zheng Yanyan was carefree, doing whatever she wanted without worrying about the consequences.
Unlike herself, who always hesitated when it ca to matters involving Zhou Yuwen.
But to be fair, if she did go over herself…
Would Zhou Yuwen treat her the sa way as he did Zheng Yanyan?
Thinking about this, Lu Lin felt dazed all over again.
She didn’t dare continue pondering.
In these few days that Zheng Yanyan had been in Xu Huai, Zhou Yuwen faithfully acted as her guide. He took her around to the picturesque mountains and waters, the malls, and the cinemas, essentially giving her a full tour of Xu Huai.
Zhou Yuwen said that Xu Huai was nothing like the Capital City. This small town barely had anything to explore, and if you seriously tried, you’d finish touring it in two days; there wasn’t much entertainnt either.
Zheng Yanyan responded, “Not at all, I think it’s pretty interesting. Things here are so cheap!”
She was referring to the roadside stalls and the clothes sold in the malls.
Zhou Yuwen remarked that they were low-quality brands, so naturally, they were cheap.
Zheng Yanyan unexpectedly said, clothes are ant to be worn, aren’t they?
“I think this place is quite cozy. Maybe marrying into your town wouldn’t be so bad!” Zheng Yanyan said cheerfully, sipping a six-yuan bubble tea, grinning ear to ear.
To be honest, hearing this, Zhou Yuwen was taken aback, thinking: “Could it be you reincarnated too?”
Zhou Yuwen definitely knew this wasn’t typical behavior for Zheng Yanyan.
But the truth was, when a woman genuinely likes a man, she doesn’t need the man to flatter her. She’ll naturally try to please him instead.
Whether Zheng Yanyan was serious or joking with her words—nobody could say for certain.
Even if there was sincerity behind them, Zhou Yuwen knew he could never live his entire life with her in this small county town.
The spacious flat in Jinling Villas had everything he desired. This place was rely a short-lived indulgence, never ant to beco a permanent ho.
Zheng Yanyan clung to Zhou Yuwen’s hand and wandered through the mall in the small county town, looking like an ordinary young couple.
In small towns, there are no secrets. The sudden arrival of a stunning beauty at Zhou Yuwen’s house beca the talk of the town. Even his relatives caught wind of it, chatting about how a rich girl from the Capital City had co all the way to Xu Huai chasing after Zhou Yuwen.
Because of this, Zhou Guobin was teased at work.
They joked, “What did I say? Like father, like son—we all admire Brother Zhou for raising such a talented kid!”
“My son is 28 already, without even finding a girlfriend. anwhile, you’ve got girls lining up outside your house!”
Zhou Guobin remained calm and expressionless, refusing to entertain such topics even a bit.
Aunt took up the gossip during her phone call with Peng Xiaoyong.
She said, “You’ve only been gone for a few days, and already there’s so girl from the Capital City nesting at your cousin’s place!”
“You’re not worse than your cousin, so why stay hung up on that foreign woman? In the end, marriages should be with soone who understands your roots!”
Aunt lectured passionately.
Peng Xiaoyong replied, “My cousin is just a playboy. I’m nothing like him.”
“Alright, Mom, I’m fine with Wanting; don’t talk about it anymore.”
“Hey, about your job…”
“Yeah, I’ve already got a lead.”
During this era of rebuilding, highly skilled talents like Peng Xiaoyong, who had studied abroad, were in great demand. Even within a few days in Jinling, he’d already secured several offers. Intending to rent a place with Lu Wanting, he wanted a location that wasn’t too far or too close.
Ti swiftly flew by, arriving at mid-February.
The true season of sprouting and birdsong.
In this weather, trees by the roadside were already budding.
Kites had started appearing one by one in the green patches of public squares, flying with the wind.
A lingering chill could still be felt in the breeze, but fewer people were wearing thick winter coats.
Zheng Yanyan, that audacious girl, dared to wear shorts just for good photos.
Her black shorts, with parallel buttons, showed off a pair of long-unseen pale legs.
Her calves were still enveloped in black long boots.
Her top was a red half-sleeve undershirt, accompanying Zhou Yuwen in wandering here and checking there.
She had truly enjoyed herself during her ti in Xu Huai.
Because Xu Huai had an abundance of delicious food.
Dishes like chicken stew pots, braised miscellaneous fish, firewood rice, thousand-cut at—all carrying a spicy kick—paired with stead white rice, made Zheng Yanyan fan her mouth after every bite but still co back for more.
During her several days at Zhou Yuwen’s house, the first few days were spent with just him taking her around, but then he thought it was getting too quiet and uneventful. Plus, Liu Shuo had been insisting for Zhou Yuwen to co out and hang out with him.
So Zhou Yuwen brought Zheng Yanyan along to et him.
Unexpectedly, Liu Shuo froze the mont he saw her.
By then, Liu Shuo was already driving a Volkswagen Passat.
The sleek black vehicle with its streamlined design.
A 19-year-old running a Passat—truly impressive and a testant to his success.
Liu Shuo initially intended to show off his new car, but at the sight of Zheng Yanyan, he couldn’t believe his eyes: “Holy crap! Why are you here!?”
Zheng Yanyan imdiately frowned: “What are you saying?! Don’t you know to call ‘sister-in-law’!?”
“Sister-in-law!??”
Liu Shuo stared in disbelief at Zhou Yuwen, thinking to himself: didn’t you guys break up?
Zhou Yuwen said, “Just call her what you’re told.”
“…”
Normally clever, Liu Shuo was genuinely puzzled—the last ti he saw Su Qing was just days ago! He knew Zheng Yanyan had broken up, so how’d she end up here?
He was completely baffled, especially since he had spent plenty of ti criticizing Zheng Yanyan in front of Zhou Yuwen.
How did they reconcile?
Pulling Zhou Yuwen aside, Liu Shuo whispered, “Bro, what’s going on here?!”
Zhou Yuwen sighed deeply, saying, “She ca from the Capital City to hang out with .”
“Forget it, just call her what I told you to. Don’t make it so complicated.” Zhou Yuwen didn’t care to explain further.
Calling her “sister-in-law” wasn’t the issue—it was Zhou Yuwen’s behavior that left Liu Shuo utterly astonished.
Su Qing wasn’t one to be trifled with either, right?
Zhou Yuwen said, “That’s really none of your business.”
“…”
After hesitating for a while, Liu Shuo could only respond, “Bro! You’re amazing!”
