Chapter 1400 Jin Yue 1
Zhou Jinxu understood what she meant, so he rephrased it: "Then I want to tell the outside world that I've found a partner I love and want to grow old with her. Can you accept this?"
Xu Yanzhen smiled: "Of course."
Zhou Jinxu was a very decisive person; in less than a month, he planned a marriage proposal. Han Yu stood outside, watching Zhou Jinxu put the ring on Xu Yanzhen's finger, and suddenly whispered, "The person I like has been taken away by my friend's uncle."
Zhou Shiyu put his arm around his shoulder: "There's nothing you can do. You were born at the wrong time. You just have to accept it."
Han Yu shook off his arm, then turned and glared at Zhou Shiyu: "You bastard, you knew all along?"
Zhou Shiyu put his arm around his shoulder again: "It's not that early, is it?"
Han Yu was discouraged. He held back, thinking it was his own fault for making bad friends.
Shi Cheng stood at the back of the crowd, watching Xu Yanzhen and Zhou Jinxu kiss, his eyes lowered in sorrow. He had originally planned to take things slowly, approaching Xu Yanzhen step by step, but now he realized that he had missed his chance once, and he could never catch up with her again.
That's it. What's done is done. No matter how much I regret it, she won't come back.
Ji Yingqiu presented flowers: "Congratulations to you, and best wishes to President Zhou, that you have finally achieved your wish."
Xu Yanzhen accepted the flowers and gave her a generous hug: "Thank you. How have you been lately?"
Ji Yingqiu waved her hand with satisfaction. The ring that had once bound her was now completely gone: "It's great. I've left the wrong person. I'm as free as if I could fly."
"Just like you said, there are plenty of men who want to please me. Now, I'm looking for a father for my future child, so I need to keep my eyes open and find the right one."
Xu Yanzhen: "It's fine."
Ji Yingqiu smiled with satisfaction: "Of course."
Seeing Ji Yingqiu quickly surrounded by those single men, Xu Yanzhen couldn't help but smile. Although Ji Yingqiu and Yu Ning were still married when she had her accident in her previous life, she was genuinely happy for Ji Yingqiu now that she was divorced.
If she could start over, she would make up for what she had to make up for, and seize what she had to seize. Now she has no regrets. As for Shi Cheng, he will forever remain in the past.

After Xu Yanzhen accepted Zhou Jinxu's marriage proposal, Tan You felt time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, she was back in the mission space. This initial mission went smoothly without any setbacks, and she barely had to lift a finger.
She simply went there to relax and observe how Xu Yanzhen managed her life well.
The beauty system stretched in front of Tan You: "Host, do you want to continue with the mission?"
Tan You pondered for a moment: "Go back and rest for a few days first. Next time, choose an intermediate-level mission."
The beauty system's little tail wagged rapidly: "Yes, host!"
The beauty system is happy as long as Tan You goes out to do missions, since Tan You's energy points are ultimately spent on it.
Back in the real world, Tan You behaved herself as a high school student for two days. But after a while, she got a little bored. Ultimately, she was restless at heart.
Having drawn an intermediate-level task, Tan You listened to the teacher lecturing on the stage while openly slacking off in class, which meant learning about the client's memories.
Having nearly been caught off guard before, Tan You dared not go to a mission world without receiving the memories. Especially since this was a mission world, she certainly couldn't be so arrogant. She had done quite a few intermediate missions, but she hadn't done many missions set in feudal societies. Of course, most of the time she didn't want to do missions in ancient societies, because that was a cannibalistic society.
Women, in particular, suffer from various forms of oppression and are subject to even more restrictions and constraints.
But now that she has drawn the ancient world, she has no choice but to go. No matter who the obstacles in her way are, she will crush them one by one.

"Young Madam, Granny Chang from Madam's courtyard has arrived and is waiting in the outer room." Tan You had just finished reviewing the original owner's life when she heard the voice of the original owner's personal maid, Gu Yu.
Tan You opened her eyes, quickly glanced around the simple bedroom, then sat up and said softly, "Let me wash up."
Gu Yu carefully helped her with her washing and dressing: "I've heard that Brother Lin is gone."
The personal maid also understood what it meant; clearly, this trip to the main courtyard wouldn't go so smoothly.
Tan You remained unmoved: "They're trying to smear our yard. Let's go."
After navigating the winding corridors and passing through various courtyards, Tan You realized just how little the original owner, the young mistress of the Duke's mansion, was valued. The courtyards she was assigned to were all in the most remote places, and the interior decorations were extremely simple, showing none of the grandeur befitting a young mistress of the Duke's mansion.
Tan You didn't take it seriously. Perhaps it was because she had come to such a cannibalistic society and was still one of the oppressed. Her murderous intent had been aroused ever since she woke up. Now it was just a matter of who would run into her knife first.
Upon arriving at the main courtyard, Tan You didn't rush inside, but instead listened to the voices inside.
"Aunt! Aunt, you must do justice for me! My Lin-ge'er is gone just like that, it was all Lin's doing!" a shrill female voice accused, the ferocity in it obvious to everyone.
"Brother Lin," Tan You smiled knowingly. There should be some taboo surrounding names, and the original owner's name was Lin Jin Yue, yet Cheng Qian named his eldest son Cheng Lin, clearly intending to embarrass the original owner.
As for the fact that the child couldn't stand firm, that can only be described as retribution.
Soon, a slightly older voice rang out: "Don't worry, if she really did it, I won't let her off!"
Wei Ruoyu persisted, "It was she who did it! I came to report that one of her maids went out to buy groceries a couple of days ago. If it weren't for her maid bringing back something unclean, would my Lin-ge'er have contracted smallpox?"
Granny Chang stole a glance at Tan You, only to see that the usually taciturn young mistress was now looking quite interested. Today, she was holding a string of prayer beads in her hand, and she was turning them very quickly.
Even though she was smiling, Chang's mother felt a chill run down her spine, as if something bad was about to happen.
She was about to speak when she saw Tan You stride into the inner room.
Upon seeing her enter, Wei Ruoyu, who had been kneeling and weeping, paused for a moment, then rushed over like a madwoman. Her target was very clear: Tan You's face.
Some people, even in simple clothes and without makeup, are still stunningly beautiful. Looking at that face, Wei Ruoyu's eyes were practically bleeding with jealousy.
She had anticipated this perfectly. Just as her fingernails were about to scratch Tan You's face, she suddenly felt a sharp pain. Tan You had kicked her in the lower abdomen, sending her flying three meters away. She crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood and falling unconscious.
