"I don't know whether you are just playing dumb or you are trying to avoid my questions, but come on... Just answer one, at least. Or maybe two, but if you want to answer all of them~ you are free~~ please just one or all," Wei Chujiu pleaded. She was already in her full puppy-eyed cute mode. She was winking and pleading at Zhu Yunqing to speak.
"Huh?! I don't understand what you are saying," Zhu Yunqing said before turning back and washing her hands.
"You do realise that I can see the blush on your face, right?!" Wei Chujiu said as she arched a brow.
'Am I really not getting anything?' Wei Chujiu sulked.
"What?!" Zhu Yunqing creased her brows. Then, she abruptly raised her head and looked at her face in the mirror in front of her. Lo, and behold on her cheeks was a light blush that had crept its way there only god knows when.
Was this caused by the man she met earlier? Well, he was quite handsome, but why would she be gushing over someone she just met? Was it because he was handsome? It's not like she hadn't seen a handsome man before, and she was quite sure she did not feel anything for someone she just met once. The man she saw earlier had a dangerous charm to his handsomeness compared to his majesty…...
'I should stop thinking about him,' Zhu Yunqing thought with a gloomy look. She let out a sigh of irritation and tilted her head slightly downwards.
The past was the past. She needed to learn to live well in this second chance that she got. After all, it is not like she could go back and change what happened in the past. Also, a second chance in life does not come by that easily. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so she needed to utilize it to the max.
Zhu Yunqing bent towards the tap, scooped an amount of water in her hands before washing her face with it. Then, she rinsed her mouth several times. She washed her face once again before collecting the towel Wei Chujiu offered her to dry her face and hands.
Wei Chujiu noticed the gloomy mood Zhu Yunqing was in, so she patted her on her shoulder. It was not her intention to make Zhu Yunqing remember such a waste of male sperm like Tang Chonglin.
However, because Wei Chujiu couldn't completely quell her hunger for gossip, she still ended up asking, "Do you have any idea who he is?" She sounded curious when she spoke.
Since Shen Zihao was cruel to other ladies, but it only meant that he would be faithful and treat the one he liked well, unlike Tang Chonglin. Shen Zihao's earlier actions gave Wei Chujiu an inkling that he was interested in Zhu Yunqing. Then wouldn't it be a good idea to match them together? Maybe he would even be able to make her forget that trash.
(And she is not so far from the truth.)
"No, am I supposed to," Zhu Yunqing said with a quizzical look.
（＊〇□〇）...!
"Gasp! No way!" Wei Chujiu blurted out a big gasp of amazement.
he knew that Zhu Yunqing has never been interested in any other man ever since she had foolishly fallen in love with Tang Chonglin, but she never knew it was as bad as this extent.
She didn't even know one of the four richest and most powerful Young Master of H City.
"H-he is…. Oh my goodness! Qingqing did your brain get fried while you were unconscious! He is like…." Wei Chujiu was about to speak up when she suddenly paused.
'Wait! What is he like again?' Wei Chujiu wondered. She knew Shen Zihao as her Cousin's friend, but she was not close enough to know him well. She only knew who he was because she had seen him a couple of times with Lin Yan. Also, everyone in H City knew very well about the mysterious young President of Shen International Conglomerate.
"Well, he is like the king of the business world. One of the most desired bachelors because of his gorgeous looks. He has so much money and power that four of his generations do not have to work, but they can still live a comfortable life for a long time. Plus, because of his status, he is the ultimate ladder to riches. He has women from every social status reeling to even get as much as a glance from him," Wei Chujiu remarked in one breathe.
With the way Wei Chujiu spoke about Shen Zihao, you would probably think she had done proper research on him, but she didn't. Everyone knew at least this much about him. Well, at least almost everyone.
"Well, do you like him?" Zhu Yunqing suddenly asked out of curiosity. She seemed totally uninterested in everything Wei Chujiu just told her.
"What?!! No! Why would you even think that?" Wei Chujiu snapped.
"He is cold, and I detest his crudeness! Humph!" Wei Chujiu pointed out.
She had witnessed how cruelly Shen Zihao treated a young miss from an average family before. Well, the young miss deserved what she got for throwing herself at him like that, but she wasn't going to be the judge of that.
When Zhu Yunqing heard Wei Chujiu's response, a light sense of relief overtook her heart, and she let out an inaudible sigh.
'Wait! Why did I feel relieved?' Zhu Yunqing pondered to herself. The feeling of relief she felt was so strange that she could not understand why she felt that way.
Maybe it was because of her experiences in her past life, and how the emotions of the heart caused her downfall.
Maybe she didn't want her friend to experience the turmoil of the heart.
Or maybe she didn't want her friend to like someone of unrefined manners like that.
But whatever it was, she couldn't be bothered to think about it again. At this point, she really needed a way to distract Wei Chujiu from this particular topic.
