Gu Chaoyan cast a disdainful look at him.

It seemed that this person saw no boundaries, assuming their relationship was amicable. His audacity surpassed even those in the old house and the thickness of city walls.

“Yes,” Gu Chaoyan responded bluntly.

Jiang Caixiu was taken aback.

Prepared to share his grievances and reveal his vulnerability, he stammered, “Danqiu, how could you do this?”

“If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving. I’m very busy,” Gu Chaoyan retorted, visibly annoyed.

Jiang Caixiu hurriedly stopped her, saying, “There is something, Danqiu. If you don’t mind, marry me. I’ll take you as my first wife. Regardless of any future scholarly honors I may attain, you will remain the first wife without any changes.”

“I don’t like it,” Gu Chaoyan impatiently replied. “Can you leave now?”

Undeterred, Jiang Caixiu persisted, “But we were engaged before. I don’t understand why you’re unwilling now.”

“If the engagement is canceled, it’s over. Stop harassing me. If it happens again, I’ll ask Tian Qi to deal with you,” Gu Chaoyan asserted without holding back.

Ignoring her warnings, Jiang Caixiu shouted and attempted to hug her. At that moment, Tian Qi intervened, pushing him away. Jiang Caixiu staggered and fell.

Jiang Caixiu looked at Yan Danqiu with an aggrieved expression.

Gu Chaoyan addressed Tian Qi directly, “Beat him up; he’s touching me.”

Without hesitation, Tian Qi proceeded to carry out the order. He delivered punches and kicks to Jiang Caixiu until his face was swollen, only ceasing when Gu Chaoyan signaled.

Disregarding him, Gu Chaoyan left with Tian Qi, not sparing him another glance.

Jiang Caixiu, a scholar, felt uneasy after the beating. He struggled for a while, cursing Tian Qi vehemently, while onlookers chuckled at his misfortune.

In a sorry state, Jiang Caixiu returned to the Jiang family.

His mother, witnessing his condition, was shocked. “What happened? Who attacked you? How heartless!”

“Tian Qi,” Jiang Caixiu replied.

“I’ll settle the score with the Tian family!”

“Settle the score? Tian Qi acted under Yan Danqiu’s orders in the Yan family. How do you plan to settle the score?” Jiang Caixiu retorted angrily, avoiding mention of his inappropriate actions. Aware that many had witnessed the incident, he couldn’t deny the reality of the situation.

Jiang Caixiu’s mother lamented, “Why is Yan Danqiu so heartless? How could he bear to hit you? How can we marry such a woman?”

“She doesn’t want to marry him. I don’t know what’s wrong with her brain, but she actually doesn’t want to marry him,” Jiang Caixiu expressed his disbelief. He found it perplexing that someone wouldn’t want to marry him, considering he was regarded as the most outstanding person in North Village, with a limitless future.

“She doesn’t want to?” Jiang Caixiu’s mother struggled to comprehend.

“Why wouldn’t I be willing?” Jiang Caixiu sighed. “How about this? You stay at home for the next two days. I’ll go and talk to her mother. If her mother is willing, it’s the same.”
