Chapter 117 The Female Supporting Character Who Regrets the Arranged Marriage (Part 14)
The system's eye twitched slightly.
These days, even fish are starting to be attracted to good looks.
"So don't be too careless. Sometimes the unpredictability of the plot shouldn't be underestimated," the system said with a sigh.
Qingyu didn't take it to heart and said directly, "No matter how uncontrollable it is, it can't change people's hearts. And now, the only one who can change people's hearts is me."
As she spoke, she leisurely stood up and poured all the fish food in her hand onto the ground.
The fish in the water seemed to go crazy, scrambling and vying for the food, and soon finished eating.
system:"……"
This is terrible! Ever since Qingyu started feeding the fish, they've all gotten as fat as pigs...
They're too tired to swim anymore!
Qingyu originally planned to go straight back to her room, but unexpectedly encountered Jin Ruyi blocking her way again. Compared to Jin Ruyi's previous gentleness, she was now dressed in red and had changed her style.
"Qingyu." Jin Ruyi stepped forward with a charming smile. When she saw Qingyu take a step back, her eyes darkened slightly, but she still smiled and said, "The flowers and plants in the suburbs are lush and the sun is shining brightly. It's the perfect day for horseback riding. Shall I take you there?"
She paused, then smiled more broadly. "I'm a good horse rider, you can stay in my lap."
horse riding?
This was something Qingyu had never experienced before, and she became quite interested. She ignored what Jin Ruyi was about to say and nodded in agreement, "Then let's go."
Since there's no way Yan Ning will make a move anyway, I might as well enjoy myself first.
When the beauty agreed, Jin Ruyi's joy was palpable. Qingyu had been avoiding her lately, and she had been plotting for a long time, even begging Old Madam Zhou, to get this opportunity to ride a horse.
Sure enough, hard work pays off.
After she left, Zhou Hannan received the news again. He didn't ask about it, but quietly prepared a few sets of riding clothes.
So when Jin Ruyi and Qingyu were about to leave, they saw Zhou Hannan, who had dressed up specially, at the door. He was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, and his tall and slender figure was very eye-catching.
Jin Ruyi was speechless, feeling that she had been blind before. This cousin in front of her was clearly a peacock, not a dragon among men.
"Cousin, today is a gathering of my girlfriends, what are you doing here?"
“You are ultimately two frail women, but I can protect you.” Zhou Hannan straightened his back, trying to appear taller.
Jin Ruyi retorted with a forced smile, "You've been spending so much energy in the backyard lately, aren't you afraid it will cause problems for the business?"
Zhou Hannan stiffened, then sneered, "I am the head of the family."
This means that whether the business goes well or not is his business, and Jin Ruyi, being a cousin, shouldn't interfere.
Despite being rebuked, Jin Ruyi didn't seem bothered and simply pulled Qingyu into the carriage.
He clearly didn't want to pay attention to Zhou Hannan.
Zhou Hannan took a deep breath and the idea of urging someone to arrange a marriage for Jin Ruyi rose again!
It's best to send them far away!
Three people, two carriages, and several servants went to the outskirts of the city together.
While they were still on the road, the system whispered to them, "Your identity has a deep connection with the male and female leads. They are in the suburbs right now."
Qingyu was amused by its appearance. "What are you doing in that pose? Did you do something naughty?"
The system chuckled awkwardly, "I recently read about other systems' experiences and discovered that sometimes viruses can appear, such as our conversations being overheard by people around us."
Qingyu pursed her red lips, her eyes flashing, "No, unless... Misu appears."
The system was startled. "Don't talk nonsense. We'd better not run into him, otherwise it would mean we're watching him!"
Qingyu smiled indifferently and did not answer.
Does not mentioning this mean we won't be targeted?
Not necessarily~
The carriage traveled for more than half an hour before arriving at the village on the outskirts of the city.
After settling in, Qingyu changed her clothes into a light-colored outfit before they all went to the so-called horse farm.
As soon as Qingyu arrived at the horse farm, she saw Qi Zhiyu and Cang Huayu walking side by side.
Qi Zhiyu, dressed in white, was elegant and graceful, while Cang Huayu, in pink, was beautiful and charming.
Qingyu raised her eyebrows slightly, pondering to herself. She had only thought that she might meet the male and female protagonists, but she didn't expect that these two were indeed as the system had said, and that she had a deep connection with them.
It's unbelievable... You can run into someone even while having a meal, let alone encounter a horseback riding event with such a low probability of occurrence!
The actions on this side did not escape Qi Zhiyu's eyes. He did not expect to meet Qingyu and was overjoyed. He strode over.
"Qingyu".
When Zhou Hannan saw Qi Zhiyu, a hint of hostility and annoyance flashed in his eyes. He subconsciously stepped in front of Qingyu and greeted her disapprovingly, "Brother-in-law, you shouldn't call my wife by her given name. You're a scholar, don't you understand these things?"
These words exaggerated the time frame, causing Qi Zhiyu's smile to freeze on his face. He slowed his pace and said coldly, "It's just a form of address. Brother Zhou is taking it too seriously, which only hurts our relationship."
The two exchanged a glance, neither willing to back down.
Cang Huayu, who had caught up from behind, quickly moved closer to Qingyu, but was met with a cold, indifferent glance from Jin Ruyi, which was incredibly oppressive.
Cang Huayu frowned. "You are..."
Jin Ruyi approached Qingyu proudly, raising her chin, "I am Qingyu's little sister."
As soon as she finished speaking, she received a cold look from Qingyu. Jin Ruyi panicked and forced a calm smile.
Qingyu lowered her eyes, her feelings for Jin Ruyi lessening.
Forced intimacy is truly annoying.
Cang Huayu, with her sharp eyes, noticed Qingyu's displeasure and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Qingyu, are you here for sightseeing?"
Qingyu looked at Canghuayu's attire and guessed, "Are you going on a spring outing?"
Cang Huayu smiled sheepishly and explained, "We were invited by Qi...husband's classmate and friend, but that person had some trouble on the way, so we came on our own."
Qingyu lowered her eyes in thought. Is this in the plot?
It seems not.
And she's always been a conspiracy theorist; that so-called classmate was probably being manipulated by someone, right?
Could it be Yan Ning?
But what is he planning to do?
Qingyu didn't quite understand, and kept reviewing the plot in her mind. Only then did she realize that the plot had only briefly mentioned something: the prefect's legitimate daughter accidentally fell into the water while hiking in the suburbs and was rescued by Yan Ning, and the two became acquainted.
Falling into the water...
Qingyu's eyes flickered slightly, and a guess surfaced in her mind: Perhaps, the drowning was Yan Ning's doing, and what was he planning to do this time?
Completely baffled, Qingyu stopped trying to figure it out and looked at Zhou Hannan, "When does it start?"
Zhou Hannan withdrew his gaze and smiled faintly upon hearing this, "We can do it now."
Jin Ruyi nodded quickly, "I've already made all the arrangements!"
After saying that, she secretly glared at Zhou Hannan: He just knows how to steal her credit!
Qi Zhiyu seemed thoughtful, then asked, "Are you going to ride horses?"
Zhou Hannan sneered, his tone unfriendly, "Brother-in-law wants to too? But forget it, you're a scholar, if you get hurt, I can't afford to pay for it."
The disdain and rejection in his words were not concealed at all. Qi Zhiyu felt stifled and looked down on Zhou Hannan even more. In his opinion, Qingyu was originally his wife. If it weren't for the so-called "misunderstanding", he would be the one with the beauty by his side now!
Qi Zhiyu concealed the gloom in his eyes and resumed his gentlemanly demeanor. "I can't ride, but I can watch. Brother-in-law... you won't object, will you?"
The word "brother-in-law" was uttered through gritted teeth, but Zhou Hannan's expression relaxed upon hearing it. He waved his hand dismissively, indicating that it was nothing to worry about.
