Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

So she would occasionally watch the two people's actions from the corner of her eyes, thinking about encountering them by chance. Of course, she couldn't be too deliberate or too close, otherwise what would be the difference between her inappropriate behavior and that of Yu Fangfang, Yu Zixi and others?

Afterwards, Li Heng and Chen Jingchi did not stay in the flower hall for a long time, mainly because Chen Jingchi was afraid that the prince's overly scorching gaze would cause outsiders to criticize the eldest daughter of the Yu family, so he took the initiative to suggest going for a walk in the flower corridor. Not long after, Yu Zinyin casually suggested to the ladies around her to go for a walk in the beautiful flower corridor outside and enjoy the scenery. Everyone naturally agreed. Some ladies who had just been paying attention to the prince and the young master of the Chen family thought it was great that Miss Yu proposed this. They also wanted to go and have an "accidental encounter" with the prince and the young master Chen, but they were afraid of being seen through, so they kept silent. Miss Yu's suggestion was like having a pillow when they were sleepy, which was really nice.

The flower corridor is called a long corridor, but it is actually not very long. It doesn’t take much time to walk there and then walk back, so the two groups naturally met.

"Greetings, Prince." Led by Yu Ziyin, the young ladies saluted Li Heng. Since it was not a formal gathering, they did not perform any formal formalities.

"Mr. Chen." The young ladies just nodded at Chen Jingchi.

Chen Jingchi also bowed.

Seeing Yu Ziyin, Li Heng couldn't hide his excitement and almost reached out to support her. However, when he met Yu Ziyin's eyes that seemed to be smiling but were actually a little distant and cold, his heart tightened and he withdrew his hand. "Ladies, are you here to visit the flower gallery too?"

"Yes, I heard that the flower corridor in Mr. Chen's house was specially designed by a famous master in the capital. Several young ladies and I are very curious about what different landscapes it will have, so we came to take a look." Yu Ziyin looked at Chen Jingchi with a smile.

A beautiful woman’s smile is like a spring breeze.

Chen Jingchi's heart trembled, but he tried to remain calm and said, "Then, I'll ask that master to come over and explain the design of this garden to the young ladies."

The prince is here, so he can't show too close to Yu Zinyin. Even if they get along normally, it may make the prince unhappy. So no matter how much he is moved, he can only avoid her helplessly.

Li Heng didn't notice anything wrong with Chen Jingchi. On the contrary, he thought this was a good opportunity to get to know Yu Ziyin better, so he said to Chen Jingchi, "Why bother, Master? Didn't you just tell me about the beauty of this flower corridor? It's very clear. Why don't you explain it to the young ladies? I also like this flower corridor very much. I want to see it again and listen to it again. Then I can go back and tell my mother and ask her to ask the master to design a similar flower corridor for the prince's palace."

Chen Jingchi was helpless, "Okay."

So the two groups appeared in the flower corridor. Chen Jingchi indeed explained the ingenuity of the flower corridor's design in detail, which attracted the admiration and praise of the ladies.

Yu Ziyin took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with Chen Jingchi. "The flower corridor designed by this master, combined with the Chen family's marble decorations, creates a breathtaking scene with every step. He's truly a master sought after by the people of the capital. I've heard that getting this master to design something requires not only financial resources but also other factors. Since Master Chen personally invited him, could I ask how he managed to impress him?"

Chen Jingchi did not refuse to answer Yu Ziyin's question. After all, the other party asked in public in front of many people, and it was not something that needed to be kept secret, so he answered, "It's nothing. Actually, this master said he wanted to eat buns from a certain shop in South City. I bought some on the first day and had them delivered to him, but the master was not satisfied. I bought some on the second day and had them delivered again, but the master was still not satisfied. Finally, I went to buy them and delivered them myself, and the master said that this was what he needed. He didn't want anyone's buns, but our Chen family's sincerity. He originally planned that if we asked our subordinates to deliver them three times and didn't value his identity, thinking that he was just a gardener with no sincerity, then he would not do business with him."

Yu Ziyin chuckled, covering her lips with a handkerchief. "This is actually quite normal. Many outstanding people have eccentric tempers, but that's also endearing. Just now, I thought Master Chen would have some opinions on this matter. From some people's perspective, this master was just playing tricks, manipulating the Chen family's attitude to elevate his status. But when Master Chen talked about this, his face was full of smiles. It can be seen that he is not a narrow-minded person. On the contrary, he is very open-minded and approachable."

Being praised sincerely by the beauty, Chen Jingchi couldn't help but be moved, his ears were also hot, his fingers unconsciously scratched the lapels on the side of his body, and said: "I'm actually not as good as you say, Miss Yu."

"Mr. Chen is so humble."

Li Heng, who was standing by, felt a little unhappy when he heard Yu Ziyin not only praise Chen Jingchi but also smile so beautifully at him. He stopped talking to the other ladies who wanted to get close to him and took the initiative to step forward and hold Chen Jingchi's shoulders, "Sorry, Miss Yu, I'm a little hungry. I asked Jingchi to take me to find something to eat."

"Why go so far? There are pastries in the pavilion over there. Why don't we go there together?" Yu Zinyin looked at the pavilion not far away.

Chen Jingchi felt the pressure on his shoulders suddenly increase. He glanced at Li Heng beside him and met his threatening gaze. Even though he was reluctant, he could only suppress his displeasure and bowed to Yu Ziyin and the other ladies. "Sorry, Miss Yu, ladies, His Royal Highness and I have to leave."

Yu Ziyin just looked at Chen Jingchi, nodded helplessly, and said, "Okay then."

Seeing this scene, the jealous Li Heng couldn't help but hold Chen Jingchi's shoulders tightly, which made Chen Jingchi so painful that he couldn't speak. He could only smile dryly and nodded.

Yu Ziyin frowned as she watched the two people leaving.

It seems that Li Heng's strong jealousy was not as the original owner thought, a psychological disorder that broke out after encountering difficulties in marriage, but it had always existed, but he hid it very well and was not noticed by the original owner.

She had previously dared to speak to Chen Jingchi in front of Li Heng because she assumed that before they truly knew each other, Li Heng wouldn't constrain her actions like he had in the later stages of the original world. He would also consider his image in front of him and restrain himself. But she hadn't expected this to happen. Li Heng was completely unconcerned. Her recent approach to Chen Jingchi might have hurt him, which was not what Yu Ziyin wanted. Even if Chen Jingchi wasn't her future husband, she had to find a way to make amends.

As for Chen Jingchi, the two of them walked to a deserted place. Li Heng finally let go of his hand and casually glanced at Chen Jingchi's wrinkled collar. "Jingchi, do you think Miss Yu will choose you or me?"

Chen Jingchi's smile remained unchanged. "The prince is so precious, how could Miss Yu be interested in me?"
