The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

the other side--

As soon as Shen Xuening stepped off the stage, she was immediately surrounded by members of the art troupe. Huang Han asked eagerly, "Xuening, when did you start learning to dance? You look like you dance even better than them!"

Xia Rui quickly added, "Yes, Sister Xue Ning, I was absolutely amazed just now, it was simply incredible."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Shen, seeing you dance, I truly understand the meaning of the idiom 'silent until it makes a name for itself, then it amazes everyone.'"

"President Shen is so good at everything he does; we can only look up to him from afar."

Qin Zizhou wanted to talk to Shen Xuening, but seeing her surrounded by enthusiastic employees, he stood aside and waited until they finished talking before going over.

Shen Xuening glanced around and saw Qin Zizhou smile at her, so she felt relieved and started talking to everyone: "I originally just danced for fun, but I didn't expect to like it so much after I started, so I started practicing. I practiced for a month in total, and this is what you see in the end."

"You've only practiced for a month and you've already danced like this? This dance is so difficult, and you're an amateur, yet you can still perform it like this. You're incredibly skilled." Hu Yadai is a professional dancer, and she is very familiar with all kinds of dances, so she can tell how difficult Shen Xuening's dance is just by looking at it.

Surrounded by admirers, Shen Xuening said, "I learn things quickly, so don't compare yourself to me. Just do what you're good at."

Huang Han said, "If you were from any art troupe, I would definitely try to poach you."

Shen Xuening couldn't help but laugh: "With such a good teacher like you, I'll definitely agree."

They chatted and laughed for more than ten minutes before Shen Xuening finally left.

As soon as she emerged from the crowd, Shen Wenxu rushed over, his eyes filled with admiration: "Sister, you're both beautiful and amazing."

His appearance gave Qin Zizhou the upper hand, and Qin Zizhou helplessly looked at the siblings and let them speak.

Before long, Grandpa Shen, Grandma Shen, Liu Juan, Shen Dong and others came over and surrounded Shen Xuening, talking non-stop with excitement on their faces.

A little while later, Shen Baohong and Han Yifei arrived again.

Ge Kun, Wen Cheng, and the others also gathered around...

Qin Zizhou looked helplessly at his feet that were getting further and further away: "My girlfriend is too popular. I feel like I'm being neglected."

This situation lasted for about half an hour before Shen Xuening finally broke free and walked towards Qin Zizhou: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Qin Zizhou looked intently at Shen Xuening: "There's no need to apologize, but I finally realized today just how popular you are."

Just as Shen Xuening was about to say something, a handsome man walked over with a bouquet of flowers: "Hello, I am Zuo Shao. I have always admired you, and I have specially prepared flowers and gifts to confess my feelings to you today. Will you accept me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding noise quickly faded away, and everyone around looked over with curiosity and inquiry, glancing at Qin Zizhou every now and then, wondering what he would do.

Shen Xuening was a little confused by the current situation: "You're confessing your feelings to me?"

“Yes.” Zuo Shao’s tone was quite certain. “I’ve been watching you for a long time. I’m from W city. My family owns a car company, and I also have several shops myself. I won’t treat you unfairly.”

Shen Xuening pulled Qin Zizhou over and held his hand: "He is my boyfriend."

Zuo Shao's gaze swept over the two of them: "Are you lying to me? And then just randomly pulled in someone to make up the numbers?"

Qin Zizhou couldn't resist any longer and lowered his head to kiss Shen Xuening's lips: "Do you believe me now?"

Zuo Shao looked hurt and ignored Qin Zizhou, only looking at Shen Xuening: "I've been paying attention to you, but I've never heard that you have a boyfriend. This is too sudden."

Qin Zizhou: “…”

Shen Xuening said earnestly, "He really is my boyfriend. We've been dating for over three years. Thank you for your love."

Zuo Shao was incredulous: "More than three years? You hid it so well, but I still don't want to give up." He finally looked Qin Zizhou in the eye, "I want to compete with you fairly."

Qin Zizhou was extremely dissatisfied, as this was the first time someone had openly challenged him to take Xue Ning away from him: "Who wants to compete fairly with you? Xue Ning can only be mine. My family will come to propose marriage on the first day of next month. What are you competing for?"

Zuo Shao was stunned: "A betrothal? You're getting married?"

Qin Zizhou, in a protective tone, said, "Yes, we're getting married, so don't even think about separating us. Give up."

Zuo Shao's expression of injury deepened: "You, you..."

Shen Xuening stepped forward and said, "He's right. We're getting married, so I won't accept your confession. Go back."

Zuo Shao revealed a hint of pain: "I've been waiting for the chance to confess my feelings to you, but I didn't expect you to be getting married. I was being presumptuous, I'm sorry."

Shen Xuening said, "Then you should go back first, and be careful on the road."

Left with no other choice, Zuo Shao turned and left.

Shen Xuening shrugged: "Let's go, Zizhou, let's go home."

Qin Zizhou obediently followed Shen Xuening away.

The onlookers dispersed.

Qin Zizhou couldn't help but ask, "Xue Ning, when I'm not around, do many people confess their feelings to you?"

Shen Xuening countered, "What do you think?"

Qin Zizhou couldn't help but say, "I feel like I have a lot of rivals in love."

Shen Xuening stopped and looked at Qin Zizhou seriously: "Let me tell you, you don't have a single rival in love. I keep my distance from all men. You can trust me."

Qin Zizhou hugged Shen Xuening: "I'm just afraid of losing you."

"No, we're getting married soon, aren't we? We'll always be together." Thinking of Qin Zizhou's deep affection across two lifetimes, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"Then it's settled." Qin Zizhou squeezed Shen Xuening's hand.

"It's settled." Shen Xuening squeezed Qin Zizhou's hand back.

……

Zhai Anqi placed her packed suitcase in the corner and then went to the bathroom to wash up.

The reason she stayed up so late was because she had watched the entire show, and to be honest, she was also amazed by Shen Xuening's last dance.

However, she didn't know Shen Xuening, but she thought Shen Xuening was very beautiful and danced very well.

She couldn't help but imitate it as she walked to the bathroom.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Zhai Anqi sighed: "Trying to imitate others is still a mess. Forget it, I won't dance anymore. It's funny to look at myself."

After taking a shower and applying skincare products, she went to bed to sleep.

She woke up at five o'clock sharp, washed and dressed, and drove to the airport. Her flight was at seven o'clock, and she could catch it just in time.

She boarded the plane smoothly, and two and a half hours later, the plane landed. After exiting the airport, someone picked her up, and she got into a car and headed straight to the scenic area.

On the way, Zhai Anqi contacted Qin Zizhou: "Zizhou, I'll be at the scenic area in half an hour. Where are you? Can you come pick me up?"

Qin Zizhou agreed, out of respect for his grandfather: "Okay, I'll pick you up from the parking lot."

Zhai Anqi immediately perked up: "Okay, thank you."

Qin Zizhou said to Shen Xuening, "I'm going to pick up a friend. Do you want to come with me?"

"I won't go, I have a lot of things to do here." Shen Xuening wanted to stroll through the flower market with everyone and didn't have time to leave.

"I'll be back in a bit." Qin Zizhou didn't want to go pick them up, but he had already promised, so he still had to go.

Shen Xuening didn't think much of it and threw herself into her work with the staff.

Qin Zizhou quickly arrived at the parking lot and soon saw Zhai Anqi. However, he did not recognize her. When Zhai Anqi greeted him, he simply looked at a stranger and asked, "You are Zhai Anqi, the granddaughter of my grandfather's friend?"

Zhai Anqi nodded excitedly: "I've finally met you."

Qin Zizhou's expression was cold, one hand in his pocket, giving off an aloof vibe: "Are we that close?"

Zhai Anqi's smile froze: "We played together when we were little."

Qin Zizhou said calmly, "I don't remember."

Zhai Anqi didn't care at all: "It's okay, we can get to know each other again."

Qin Zizhou said, "I'll take you to my place. Call my grandfather later and tell him I've picked you up."

“You…” Zhai Anqi was surprised by Qin Zizhou’s coldness. “I came here alone, and I don’t know anyone here. As a friend, aren’t you going to help me?”

Qin Zizhou pretended to think and said, "There are tour guides here. I'll book one for you." He then took out his phone.

Zhai Anqi quickly stopped her: "You're my friend, how can you let someone else take me? What if we run into bad people?"

Qin Zizhou said nonchalantly, "There are security guards and police here. If you encounter any bad guys, just shout. No one will dare to do anything to you."

Zhai Anqi: "..."

Pulling her suitcase, Zhai Anqi couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so cold to me?"

Qin Zizhou turned and glanced at Zhai Anqi, his eyes devoid of warmth: "I'm not familiar with you."

Zhai Anqi choked, unsure of what to say.

Qin Zizhou took Zhai Anqi to a villager's house: "This is the only place to stay now; all the other places are full."

Zhai Anqi looked at Qin Zizhou expectantly: "So where do you live?"

Qin Zizhou retorted, "Why are you asking this?"

Zhai Anqi answered matter-of-factly, "I live with you."

Qin Zizhou frowned: "If you don't want to stay here, you can go back. It's peak tourist season here now, and accommodation is in short supply."

Zhai Anqi complained, "You're so heartless."

Qin Zizhou didn't respond. He didn't want to bother with Zhai Anqi at all. If it weren't for his grandfather's words, he would have felt it was a waste of time to even glance at her.

Zhai Anqi said, "I don't live here. The environment here is too rudimentary."

"Are you really not staying here?" a young girl approached and asked urgently. "If you're not staying here, could you let us have it?"

Zhai Anqi came out pulling her suitcase: "Qin Zizhou, you have to take care of my food, clothing, and lodging."

Qin Zizhou refused, saying, "I won't agree." He then turned to leave.

Zhai Anqi grabbed Qin Zizhou's sleeve: "Please help me. This is my first time here, and I don't know anything about this place. I want to send my grandparents here to recuperate, so I need to find out more about it first."
