Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

Chapter 119 About the Fiancé

Cheng Jinchu stepped back a few steps in panic and stood there, his face flushed, not knowing what to say for a moment.

This, this, this is her gentle, elegant, polite, modest cousin? How could her cousin say such a thing so calmly?

Bai Mingyao felt a little sad when he saw Cheng Jinchu silently taking a few steps back.

"I, I know myself. I am just a poor scholar without any official title, and I am weak. How can someone like me be worthy of a beautiful woman like my cousin? I should have known myself well. I can't help but fantasize. Cousin, I'm sorry. It was my cousin Menglang who said these words to you."

Cheng Jinchu saw that the corners of Bai Mingyao's eyes were red, as if he was about to cry. He took two steps back, bowed deeply to her, and then kept bowing without raising his body. Cheng Jinchu looked carefully and saw a few drops of water on the ground.

He cried……

Cheng Jinchu felt very guilty. She actually made such a handsome boy cry. Wow... She suddenly felt that she had gone too far.

"Cousin, no, no, you are a very good person, it's just, it's just, I have a fiancé!"

After saying that, Cheng Jinchu regretted it so much. She forgot that she was Shen Jinyi now. Where did Shen Jinyi's fiancé come from?

Bai Mingyao was really sad just now. He didn't expect that Chu Chu would want to avoid him the first time she heard his feelings. Does she really hate him that much?

But now she actually mentioned her fiancé, himself. It seems that Chu Chu has not forgotten that she got a fiancé when she was five years old!

Thinking of this, Bai Mingyao couldn't help but smile, but he was not himself after all, so he took a deep breath, suppressed the raised corners of his mouth, raised his head and looked at Cheng Jinchu.

"Cousin, how come you have a fiancé?"

There is actually nothing wrong with this sentence. Bai Mingyao is simply expressing what an unknown person would ask as soon as he knew about the matter.

However, this sentence posed a big problem to Cheng Jinchu, because Cheng Jinchu knew that Shen Jinyi did not have any engagement, and this closest cousin probably knew about it. So, what Bai Mingyao saw as an ordinary question was not an ordinary question to Cheng Jinchu.

Cheng Jinchu guessed that Bai Mingyao knew that Shen Jinyi was not engaged, so she forgot that she was Shen Jinyi in a hurry and told him about her situation.

"That's right. My father doesn't know. I grew up outside. My fiancé was arranged by my grandmother."

Cheng Jinchu smiled foolishly at Bai Mingyao, hoping that it would be of some use to take the blame on Old Madam Mo!

"Oh~ Then, cousin, do you like him?"

Bai Mingyao actually wanted to know how Chu Chu felt about him. He thought that Chu Chu’s impression of him should not be too bad!

"Hmm... she's pretty good-looking!"

Ok?

Gone?

"that's all?"

Cheng Jinchu nodded.

“I don’t remember much. I was still a kid then!”

"Then how do you remember that he was good-looking?"

Cheng Jinchu smiled sweetly at Bai Mingyao, and Bai Mingyao was dazzled by Cheng Jinchu's sweet smile.

I was a little sad at first, and this was the only impression I had. However, when I saw her smile, all the grievances and sadness disappeared.

Forget it, good looks are an advantage. His family has always liked good-looking people, so he should be happy.

"Well, I have some impression of him. Besides, he even gave me a self-portrait..."

Cheng Jinchu thought of that painting...

How could someone give a painting of their own as a gift when meeting someone for the first time?

“That painting…”

“Gone!”

In her home, she is now Shen Jinyi, and she cannot take out the painting.

When Cheng Jinchu moved to a new room a few years ago, he put the painting in a box. Yunzhi was helping to carry something and accidentally dropped the box on the ground. Then she saw the put-away painting and took a look at it. She still had some impression of it.

Now that I think about it, the eyebrows and eyes of my cheap cousin in front of me are very similar to that person. Could it be that all handsome guys have the same face?

Bai Mingyao looked at Cheng Jinchu in disbelief. Chuchu actually lost the painting he gave her. Lost it... Bai Mingyao was very sad. Forget it. He would paint another one for her someday.

Cheng Jinchu lowered her head. There was nothing she could do. When she lied, she didn't dare to look other people in the eye, so she naturally didn't see Bai Mingyao's sad expression.

"Oh, so that's it! Then when will he come to the Shen Mansion to propose marriage? What does his family do? I, I don't want to ask anything, but, you know, Third Uncle seems to be very concerned about your marriage. If the other party's family background is not good, I guess, cousin will be disappointed."

Of course Cheng Jinchu knew Shen Yun’s intention of bringing his daughter back this time, and she pretended to sigh.

"I know my father, he won't agree, so, can you keep it a secret for me, cousin?"

"Okay, cousin, I'll keep it a secret for you. Cousin, do you like him? If, if, your third uncle doesn't agree, will you still insist on marrying him?"

Cheng Jinchu thought about her fiancé whom she hadn't seen for ten years and sighed. She actually hated arranged marriages, but when she saw him for the first time, she was delighted. She remembered that feeling and liked being close to him.

Although I treated him as my sister at that time, I just liked to drag him to play together, and he was also very patient with me.

Cheng Jinchu didn't know what happened to him. Back then, his parents and her father were killed together. When her mother arrived, his father had fallen into a deep sleep and became a male version of Sleeping Beauty. His parents were no longer breathing. Are he and his brother still alive?

"Maybe. He is a very, very good person. He is very good to me. I just don't know if he is... okay now. I think people like him should be able to turn danger into safety. He should be doing well now."

When Cheng Jinchu said this, she seemed very lonely. Bai Mingyao felt sad when he saw Cheng Jinchu's expression. He really wanted to hug her, but he didn't have the status to do it.

In fact, Cheng Jinchu had sent people to look for him before, but there was no news. That year, her mother brought his parents back home and arranged their burial personally. If she could find him, she would take him to see his parents immediately.

"Cousin, please keep it a secret for me. When you get out of this door, just forget about what I said. Anyway, I may not be able to see him again. As long as he is still alive and well, that's enough. I don't have any other big wishes."

Bai Mingyao lowered his head, not daring to let Cheng Jinchu see the emotions in his eyes. He would quickly restore his identity, then walk in front of Chuchu and say to her: Long time no see, my fiancée!

"Okay, I will keep it a secret and will never tell anyone. When I leave here, I will pretend that I don't know about it."

Cheng Jinchu smiled and nodded. She didn't know what happened. Why did she tell her cheap cousin so much about herself.

It was really strange, how could she say that in front of him? It seemed that she had to be careful and not develop the habit of speaking too quickly. She must remember that her current identity was Shen Jinyi.
