The carriage stopped again. Gu Jinzhu lifted the curtain and jumped off the carriage. She quickly followed and opened an umbrella.

The despair on the youth's face immediately turned into joy as he hurriedly ran over. He dismounted from his horse and said with an excited expression, "Zhu Er, Zhu Er, I knew that you wouldn't abandon me."

Water dripped from his hair, but his eyes were bright as stars.

Gu Jinzhu didn't say anything and only coldly looked at him with a mocking smile.

Seeing her eyes that were as dark as a lake, the youth's voice became softer and softer. He said in a flustered and helpless manner, "Zhu'er?"

Gu Jinzhu slowly spoke, her voice wasn't loud, but each word was loud enough for him to hear clearly, "Chen Yunze, I thought the relationship between us was clear enough. From the day you annulled the engagement, we no longer have any relationship! "Don't tell me about the past, because —"

Her gaze was as cold as ice. Her pale pink lips that were as tender as a petal lightly formed two words, "You are not worthy!"

Such a gentle voice actually made him feel as if he had been struck by lightning.

The previously handsome youth had a white face, he never would have thought that the person who chased after him and affectionately called him "Big Brother Yun" with such a gentle and respectful voice would actually say such heartless words today.

Gu Jinzhu coldly looked at the extremely familiar person in front of her. She still felt a faint pain in her heart, as if a pile of flames had burned to nothingness. Although there was no longer any warmth, it still left behind a ground full of sad ashes.

Chen Yunze, the person who had grown up with her, could be said to be the closest person to her besides her grandmother.

Since the Yang family was close to the Chen family, and since Old Mistress Yang and Old Mistress Chen had been together for many years, she often brought her to the Chen family to visit them.

Strangely, ever since she had been locked up in a dark room in the Gu family, Gu Jinzhu's heart had been clouded. She was not close to anyone, and in the half a year that she came to the Yang family, she was almost always with her grandmother.

Later on, when they arrived at the Chen family, Chen Yunze saw that this little sister was very cute, so he often played with her. When the two families talked, he would take her around everywhere.

The boys were naughty by nature, they climbed trees and birds, and sneaked out of the house through dog holes. He did it many times with the pearls, and once he even took the pearls out to see a temple party with him. In the end, he forgot about the time to return home because he was too fond of fun, and only brought her back when it was dark.

But even though he loved to play, he did not forget his responsibilities. He never let go of her hand that was holding onto the pearl all day long.

Later on, when Jinzhu was tired, he carried her on his back. Even though he was extremely tired, he never put her down and Jinzhu was brought back to the mansion on his back.

Since then, her heart had become inexplicably dependent on him, and she felt that her little brother would never abandon her, that he was the second person after her grandmother to give her a sense of security.

After that, their relationship got better and better, until it seemed that they were not even separated for a moment. Old Lady Chen had joked several times about letting Jin Zhu be her grandson, but Jin Zhu was after all the eldest daughter of the family, so Old Lady Chen had no right to decide on her marriage.

Although the Chen family was a military official family, their youngest son, Chen Yunze, had been extremely smart since he was young. He had read and memorized books, and knew a lot.

Even though she didn't understand what marriage was, she had always believed from the bottom of her heart that she and Jin Yu wouldn't part for the rest of her life.

Later on, the two of them grew older and had men and women on their guard, so their interactions were not as frequent as before.

With the promotion of Master Chen, the Chen family moved to another place, and the two met even less. However, their letters never stopped.

Chen Yunze was a young genius who had won first place in the first country level exam at the age of sixteen. He was also recommended by a scholar who was renowned throughout Jiangnan. He was exempted from entering the most prestigious academy in the world.

After he understood Yuan, he came to the Yang family to visit Jin Zhu. The two of them hadn't seen each other in years, but when they saw each other again, they had grown into elegant young men and beautiful women.

In particular, Chen Yunze was stunned when he first saw a beautiful pearl that had just matured in the Yang family. Although a thirteen year old girl was still young, she had already exposed her beauty that could topple a country, and the young man could no longer control his beating heart, his heart and soul were all tied to the beautiful pearl.

The two of them had a deep friendship when they were young, and Chen Yunze was a young man as handsome and elegant as jade. When he was free, he would often sing poems and make peace, or make tea in the flowers to play chess, or dance in the woods to talk about the zither. During their interactions, they only felt that there was an indescribable connection between them.

In the depths of Gu Jinzhu's heart, besides her grandfather, Chen Yunze could be considered the only person who had wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly cared for her. Although he hadn't said these words out loud, they had already been known to each other.

How many hidden meaning, not a word two heart to know.

This was the most precious feeling she had in her heart. The first part of her heart was like honey in her bone marrow, blooming like a pure jade orchid every night.

Listening to the young man's infatuated words of love and his beautiful hopes for the future, the young girl's blushing face revealed the joy in her heart. That was probably the happiest period of her life so far.

Although he didn't say it out loud, the two of them had always been together. They were like a couple and had seen each other for a long time. Everyone in the family had long since come to a tacit understanding.

Old Mistress Yang was even more elated. After confirming Chen Yunze's intentions, she immediately wrote a letter to the Gu family in Shengjing asking about Jin Zhu's marriage.

Chen Yunze immediately left for home, waiting for news from the Gu family before asking his father to find someone to formally propose marriage.

Old Mistress Yang had a myriad of plans and plans, but she never expected that the Chen family would reply first before the Gu family could send any message.

The Chen family's master and his wife did not agree to this marriage at all! Although she did not openly refuse due to the face of the two families, Old Mistress Yang still turned green with anger when she saw the person's stuttering appearance.

The reason why he didn't ask the Chen family first was because they were too familiar with each other and knew each other well. The Chen family's madame and Old Mistress Yang had been close since they were children.

He originally thought that it would be a natural thing to do, but who would have thought that the first to reject would be the Chen family!

Old Mistress Yang had never dreamed of such a situation. No matter what, Jinzhu was the direct daughter of the Qi Kingdom. In terms of status, the Chen family was a mere rank 6 military official, but they dared to reject her! Absolutely!
