Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Heartbroken Before It Even Began

"Just what?"

"I just... Ah! I just think it's a pity for that piece of land. The soil is fertile, the sunlight is plentiful. If it were used to grow fruits and vegetables, it would have a bumper harvest, much better than those delicate flowers and plants."

Pfft—what on earth is she talking about!

She regretted it as soon as she finished speaking.

"..."

This little fiancée is too down-to-earth, wanting to use his garden worth millions to grow vegetables. He was worried those vegetables couldn't handle it.

"It sounds like you know that place quite well."

In Song Shiyu's eyes, the girl's face reflected a forced calmness, as if he could see right through her. Could it be that she really wasn't waiting for him?

"Not that well, it's just that my house happens to be nearby, I pass by often, so I just 'look up' at it~"

She thought for a moment and shook her head.

Anyway, this engagement will end sooner or later, and she will have nothing to do with Song Shiyu in the future.

"Oh?"

Song Shiyu changed his posture, leaning his head on the armrest with one hand, lazily looking at Chi Youyou in the passenger seat, "If you had the chance to live there, would you?"

Jiang An: "!"

Sir, what are you up to!

"No, no, no, I'm not that lucky. Besides, someone like me who's used to mountain life isn't suited for that kind of rich lifestyle."

Chi Youyou was completely resistant.

Jiang An: "!"

Oh no, the boss is totally heartbroken!

Song Shiyu raised an eyebrow, didn't speak again, and continued to focus on the tablet in his hand.

It's quite interesting.

Seeing him silent, Chi Youyou also kept her mouth shut, best not to disturb.

But in her heart, she was secretly delighted, this is so much more comfortable than the bus!

ヾ(◍°∇°◍)ノ゙

Half an hour later, Imperial City University.

"Thank you both so much!"

Chi Youyou got off the car hugging a big watermelon, but as soon as she closed the car door, the vehicle drove off in a cloud of dust.

She watched the dwindling dot, shrugged helplessly.

What a weirdo.

A handsome and kind weirdo.

But what's even more puzzling to her were the onlookers. Why are they all looking at me like that?

She glanced around in confusion, subconsciously tightening her grip on the watermelon, worried they might want to snatch it from her.

With that thought, she quickly picked up her pace.

"Wow, was that car a Bentley just now?"

"Luxury cars are everywhere in Imperial City, but that Bentley is something else! I heard from my dad that even with money, you might not be able to buy it!"

"Who was that person who got off the car? A daughter of some wealthy family? Also from our Imperial City University?"

"No idea, but why does she look so rustic, and she's holding a big watermelon?"

...

Chi Youyou held the watermelon as she looked for the registration area, completely unaware of the discussions about her, nor did she know she had already become the center of school gossip in just a moment.

In the car.

Jiang An looked at the 10 yuan note on the passenger seat and found it quite amusing.

"Sir, your fiancée is really different from those other young ladies, she's quite interesting."

Not only did she complain about Imperial Garden, but she also insisted on giving them 10 yuan as a fare, which isn't even enough for gas.

Song Shiyu sneered, "You find her interesting?"

"Well... she's alright..."

Jiang An's back stiffened, quickly changing his tune, "But sir, there's only Imperial Garden halfway up the mountain, where are there any other residents?"

"Think again."

"Imperial Garden is east of Hulong Mountain, behind is Heavenly Dragon Pool, and to the west... Sir, could it be that abandoned house to the west!"

Seeing Song Shiyu not respond, he knew he guessed right.

"I remember when we wanted to buy it, we couldn't even find out who lived there; it had to be discussed through a middleman."

"Yes, do you remember who referred you to that middleman?"

"The madam did, don't you remember, back then... Ah! It seems to be true then! The madam knew all along that it was Miss Chi's house!"

Oh my, the madam is really good at planning!

"But sir, weren't you reluctant to meet Miss Chi before, why did you suddenly agree to give her a ride?"

Song Shiyu clasped his hands on his knees, looking out the window, and suddenly said, "The pumpkin porridge this morning tasted good."

Huh?

Jiang An tried hard to hold back a smile, if he likes Miss Chi, he should just say it, what's with the pumpkin porridge tasting good~

No need to guess, the pumpkin in the porridge must be what Miss Chi brought yesterday~

As he criticized, he glanced at the rearview mirror, seeing his boss looking out the window, decisively shut his mouth, holding back his laughter and focused on driving.
