Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

The weather in October is pleasant.

The summer heat finally faded away in Liangcheng, and a cool autumn breeze began to blow.

There are more and more fallen leaves on the ground, making a crisp "rustling" sound when stepped on.

The news of Qin Guanzhi's return to the city spread like wildfire and soon reached the ears of some "interested people".

Qu Haoyue was the first to report to the Zhenguo Mansion. He had done Ruan Chuyin a favor, so even if Qin Guanzhi was no longer welcoming, he still acted politely.

Ruan Chuyin already regarded him as a good friend in her heart, so she told him about her idea of ​​opening a restaurant.

"Hatsune, have you decided where to open the restaurant?" Qu Haoyue asked.

"Guanzhi has a three-story shop on Liangshui Street. They say they'll be able to take it back by the middle of this month," Ruan Chuyin admitted. The shop was huge, with each floor spanning a full 1,000 square meters, several times larger than she'd expected.

Although she's a good cook, that doesn't mean she's a good manager. The bigger the business, the greater the risk, and the less freedom.

"In Liangshui Street..." Qu Haoyue sighed heavily, inadvertently lengthening the last syllable.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Chuyin looked at him puzzledly and asked.

"I'm studying at Songshan Academy now. The food inside and outside the academy is so bad that it's hard to swallow. I wanted to go to your place for lunch, but Liangshui Street is five blocks away from Liangsong Street, so it's too late to eat there at noon." Qu Haoyue replied with a long face.

The school only gave them an hour for lunch. A round trip, including lunch, wasn't enough. After school, he still had a mountain of homework to complete. If he wanted to go to Liangshui Street for dinner, he'd probably have to work late into the night. He'd have to wait until the ten-day holiday to come and support them.

Songshan Academy?

Great place!

"Haoyue, how many people are there in your academy?" Ruan Chuyin instantly became alert.

These days, who is more willing to spend money on food than students?

Back when she first started college, she and her three best friends would have two late-night snacks every day after evening study. One at the restaurant, and another to go for takeout back to the dorm. Life was incredibly carefree! It just wasn't very wallet-friendly.

Fortunately, her family had plenty of money, so every weekend she'd go home and fill her suitcases with stuff. That way, she could get through the end of the month without asking her parents for money. But her parents always noticed her financial difficulties and sent her money right away. She spent almost all of that money on clothes and bags, so she still didn't save a penny at the end of the month. Fortunately, she didn't have any credit cards or debt.

Speaking of overspending, we have to mention her good friend Wu Ya. Her family is relatively well-off, but because she has a younger brother, her monthly pocket money is limited, and she doesn't have a lot of money on hand.

What impressed Ruan Chuyin most was that Wu Ya had two credit cards, and she used installment payments whenever possible. She changed her clothes and bags the most frequently among the four of them. And what impressed them most was that Wu Ya always paid her bills on time every month, demonstrating her exceptional financial management skills.

"In our academy, there are 540 students, and including the teachers, there are about 600 people."

Qu Haoyue's voice instantly brought Ruan Chuyin back to her senses.

"There are a few less people." She muttered softly.

Qu Haoyue choked. Songshan College is the top institution of higher learning in Dayong. Only the children of the powerful or the elite among the elite can enter. It would be abnormal if there were too many, right?

"...the number of students in our academy is indeed not as large as that of the neighboring Lushan College and Heshan College." He explained tactfully.

"Oh? There are other academies in that area? How many people are there?" Ruan Chuyin's eyes lit up with excitement again.

Qu Haoyue thought for a moment and replied, "There are eight colleges in the surrounding area, with nearly 10,000 people."

So many? It's definitely a university town!

Ruan Chuyin decided to open the restaurant on Liangsong Street!

After Qu Haoyue left, she told Qin Guanzhi her thoughts.

Qin Guanzhi was very familiar with Songshan Academy, but there were so many talented young people there, most of whom were about the same age as Ruan Chuyin, that he was reluctant to open his restaurant there.

But Ruan Chuyin's idea was very reasonable, and he couldn't find the strong words to refuse.

"Okay." He weighed it in his mind for a long time and finally agreed.

Suddenly, he changed the subject and asked, "Hatsune, Dad and Mom are asking about our marriage. The fifth day of next month is a good date. Can we get married on that day?"

The first night Qin Guanzhi brought Ruan Chuyin back to the city, he proposed marriage to his parents. He always felt uneasy if he didn't marry her.

Xiang Yunchi and Wei Jiusi might show up any day. In Liangcheng, there was also Qu Haoyue and the powerful Prince Linhuai. Even the Yanshan Pavilion in Xuantian Mountain had to be guarded against.

After getting married, at least I can look at my wife with a legitimate reason, which will make me feel much more secure than now.

What he didn't expect was that Ruan Chuyin would flatly refuse.

"Guanzhi, I'm afraid I can't marry you now. There is still no news about Yun Chi and Wei Jiusi, I must find them first." Ruan Chuyin pondered for a long time and shook her head.

Xiang Yunchi had to know about her marriage to Qin Guanzhi. And Wei Jiusi was causing her immense trouble. She simply couldn't put everything aside and happily get married. It would be unfair to the three of them, and to herself.

Qin Guanzhi's expression changed instantly upon hearing this. His handsome and elegant features were swept by a storm, becoming slightly ferocious.

Just when he was about to lose his composure, he turned around in time and left Ruan Chuyin's sight.

The slightly hunched shoulders, the taut lip lines, and the hostility in his eyes all indicate his restraint and forbearance.

The pigeon-blood red ring he held tightly in his hand was hot and hard, and the four claws on the ring setting dug deep into his fingertips, but this slight pain could not diminish his anger at all.

"Okay." After taking a deep breath, he endured everything and nodded heavily.

The next day, all the secret agents of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion were mobilized to search the whole world for the whereabouts of Xiang Yunchi and Wei Jiusi.

The location of the restaurant was quickly decided.

Qin Guanzhi demolished the teahouse he owned at 101 Liangsong Street and ordered it to be renovated within ten days. Although it was not as large as the shop on Liangshui Street, it was close to the academy and had a very advantageous location.

Ruan Chuyin was very satisfied after seeing it. She liked this kind of shop that was not too big and could be run with ease.

This time she was no longer the head chef, but the real boss. Qin Guanzhi gave her the deed to the shop under the pretext of marriage, and also gave her a large house near the academy.

Finally she had her own property and house.

The mood is both subtle and complex.

She had always wanted to make a fortune with her own hands. Now that someone had handed it to her, she had to admit, she was a little excited.
