Shiyin didn’t even think before blurting out, “I don’t regret it, I won’t marry anyone else!”

Her tone and expression perfectly embodied the naive and sweet persona she was playing.

Zhou Chengyuan quietly looked at her for a moment, a faint smile appearing on his pale face.

It has to be said, this handsome man who always had a serious expression was the most lethal when he smiled.

Because he was so damn good-looking!

Shiyin couldn’t help but be mesmerized by his smile.

With his god-like looks and high-status identity, he could totally be the rich and handsome male lead in a domineering CEO novel!

Oh, she forgot that he wouldn’t live long.

Sigh, if he wasn’t a short-lived ghost, maybe he really could be.

Zhou Chengyuan leaned back, his posture casual. He turned his head slightly and said to Zhou Jinfeng, “I have no objections.”

Although he didn’t know what her intentions were, since she had proactively offered herself, why would he refuse?

Zhou Jinfeng was slightly surprised.

A few years ago, he had talked to his younger son about getting married, but his attitude was firm, he just didn’t want to consider it.

Now this…

No matter the reason, if Zhou Chengyuan could actually marry a wife, Zhou Jinfeng would be very happy, especially since it was someone they knew well from the Shi family.

But the Shi family was different.

Zhou Jinfeng happily turned to Shi Mingyuan and asked, “Mingyuan, what do you and Yulin think?”

Although Shi Mingyuan was reluctant in his heart, he was helpless.

Because now, Shiyin marrying into the Zhou family was the only help that would benefit him.

However, the price was his daughter’s life, and if Zhou Chengyuan really died in a few months, wouldn’t his daughter be a widow in her twenties? How could he live with himself?

Shi Mingyuan pondered for a while before cautiously saying, “Old Master Zhou, although we always respect Yinyin’s own decisions, this matter is a bit sudden, perhaps… we can discuss it and then make a decision.”

Zhou Jinfeng naturally understood Shi Mingyuan’s meaning. He actually had some doubts in his heart, so he said very casually, “We should think it through carefully.”

These words were not only said to the Shi family, but also to himself.

As an elder, he also had to carefully consider this marriage.

“Then let’s not talk about this tonight, let’s just have a good dinner.” He gave them a way out, and the others followed suit, no one mentioned the marriage between the Zhou and Shi families anymore.

After leaving the restaurant and getting into the car, Tang Yulin pulled Shiyin to sit in the back seat and kept nagging, trying to brainwash her and get her to change her mind about marrying Zhou Chengyuan, the sickly man.

However, Shiyin was determined, no matter how much Tang Yulin persuaded her, she wouldn’t budge.

“Haven’t you always had a crush on Siyang all these years?” Tang Yulin said earnestly to Shiyin, “Look how good Siyang is, tall and handsome, at least he’s healthy, right? If you marry him, you’ll definitely have a cute little Shiyin or a handsome little Siyang, he can definitely guarantee your marital bliss! Zhou Chengyuan is already in a wheelchair, he’s practically a cripple! Can he even manage?”

Shiyin was quite speechless.

What kind of colorful things are you thinking about all the time?

“Oh, Mom,” Shiyin said helplessly with a wry smile, “I really like Uncle Chengyuan, I just pretended to be close to Brother Siyang so that I could see Uncle Chengyuan more often!”

“Besides,” Shiyin’s eyes turned red, she looked pitiful and wronged, “Uncle Chengyuan’s health is so bad now, you all said that he might… might not live long, I really don’t want to waste any more time, I don’t want to have regrets in the end.”

Tang Yulin was a little exasperated, “Why won’t you listen to your mom? I told you it’s a pit of fire, you’re still jumping in, aren’t you just asking for trouble?”

Shiyin pouted, sniffling softly, “Are you guys really willing to watch me and the man I love be unable to be together until death?”

“If I can’t marry him, I won’t marry into the Zhou family.” Shiyin was stubborn, she wiped away a tear, “But if I don’t join the Zhou family, our company will face a huge crisis, won’t it?”

After saying that, she looked up at Shi Mingyuan who was sitting in the front, and called out, “Dad.”

Shi Mingyuan sighed.

“Just let me marry Uncle Chengyuan, that’s my only wish.” Shiyin begged, then said with a bit of reason, “This way, we can also solve our family’s crisis.”

“Let me think it over.” Shi Mingyuan just said that.

Shiyin didn’t press her further, after all, Shi Mingyuan could still understand the pros and cons of the situation.

Three days later, Shi Mingyuan called Shiyin to his study.

“Yinyin, are you sure you want to marry Zhou Chengyuan?” Shi Mingyuan asked her.

Shiyin nodded, firmly saying, “Yes.”

Shi Mingyuan sighed helplessly, and said to Shiyin, “Dad can agree to your marriage, but I have a few requirements.”

Shiyin remained calm on the surface, obediently saying to Shi Mingyuan, “Dad, you say it.”

“You can marry him, but don’t make a big fuss, don’t publicize it, keep it hidden from outsiders. This way, if Zhou Chengyuan is gone one day, the damage to you will be less.”

Actually, Shiyin didn’t really care whether it was public or not, anyway, she would be free and single in the end.

“Another thing is, once Zhou Chengyuan is gone, you move back home.”

Shiyin smiled and nodded.

He was afraid that she would be bullied without anyone to support her in the Zhou family.

“I’ll take you to the Zhou family in a couple of days, I’ll talk to Old Master Zhou myself then, you just need to know.”

“Okay.” Shiyin smiled, “Thank you, Dad, for making it happen.”

Before, the original heroine had to go to the Zhou family almost every day to see Zhou Siyang, but now Shiyin didn’t want to go at all, since she had already made it clear that she didn’t like him, she just didn’t go to see Zhou Siyang anymore.

As for why she liked Zhou Chengyuan but didn’t go to visit him, she had her own plans.

Shiyin wasn’t idle at home these days, the original heroine actually signed up for a group talent show called “Tomorrow’s Star” at this stage. Although she was only a third-tier star in real life, she actually had good singing and dancing skills, she just needed some time to pick them up again.

And what she was doing now was practicing dancing and music.

In another ten days or half a month, this variety show would start filming officially. She would have to go to Qingyang, a coastal city, and she would probably be filming for five days a week.

Shiyin thought the filming time for this variety show was perfect, because this way she could avoid the awkwardness of a newly married couple who had no emotional foundation facing each other as much as possible.

Shiyin had never felt so passionate about her work.

Just as she was practicing enthusiastically, Shiyin’s phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID, which read “Mengran.”

Mengran was the original heroine’s manager, 175 cm tall and 60 kg. Although she was a woman, she had a masculine appearance, always had a clean and neat short haircut, was not short, and loved to wear sportswear or motorcycle jackets. She was often mistaken for a man.

She often had a boyfriend-like aura that made the girls around her fall for her.

Shiyin picked up the phone and said “Hello.”

Mengran cleared her throat and asked, “Yinyin, are you up? I’m going to pick you up.”

Shiyin frowned, “Pick me up? Is there any activity?”

Mengran, who was sitting in the car, raised her finger and scratched her forehead, sighing, “Did you forget that you have a magazine cover shoot today?”

Shiyin: “…”

She didn’t forget, she just didn’t know.

The novel didn’t mention that the heroine had a magazine cover shoot today!

“Oh, I… remember.” Shiyin mumbled, “I’ll go take a shower now.”

After hanging up the phone, Shiyin immediately ran into the bathroom.

More than an hour later, Mengran, who had been waiting for Shiyin outside the Shi family’s door for a long time, just opened the car door to urge Shiyin, when she appeared.

“I’m here, I’m here!” Shiyin ran towards the car in her high heels, skillfully lifting her skirt to get into the car.

The driver focused on driving, the assistant quickly handed Shiyin a bottle of mineral water with the lid unscrewed as soon as she got in the car, “Sister Yinyin, have some water!”

Shiyin smiled, she was feeling a little thirsty too, so she took a couple of sips.

Mengran said to Shiyin, “I just asked the other side, I heard that their young master will bring two friends to take a look around the scene, Yinyin, don’t get distracted when the time comes.”

Shiyin frowned, puzzled, “What does it have to do with me? Why would I get distracted, do any of them have a face that’s only seen once in hundreds of years?”

Mengran leaned in mysteriously and said to Shiyin, “From what I understand, one of the young master’s two friends is the one you’ve been thinking about all the time.”

Shiyin was stunned for a second, then she understood.

“You mean Zhou Siyang?” Shiyin asked.

Mengran raised her eyebrows, “Every time you see him, you don’t have a face full of infatuated fangirl, you look like the whole world is just you two.”

“Today’s shoot is very important for you, if it’s well-received, our status will be raised several levels! We won’t have to worry about getting endorsements from high-end brands in the future, you have to perform well, don’t be distracted by lust, don’t drop the ball at the crucial moment.”

Shiyin couldn’t help but laugh.

She playfully flicked Mengran’s chin, smiling mischievously, “Just watch me!”

Mengran grabbed Shiyin’s neck and pulled her towards her, laughing, “Oh, haven’t seen you in a few days, little girl, you’re learning to tease Brother Ran.”

Shiyin looked up, suppressing the urge to get goosebumps, and deliberately gave her a flirtatious look, calling out in a sweet voice, “Brother Ran…”

“Oh my god!” Mengran pushed Shiyin away, making a disgusted gesture of vomiting, “You can shut up!”

The assistant next to her couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Mengran glared at her, “Xiaomeng!”

Xiaomeng immediately shut her mouth, her face flushed red with suppressed laughter.

However, they couldn’t laugh for long.

Because their car broke down on the way.

But the agreed time was approaching, if they couldn’t arrive on time, they would not only be responsible for the extra expenses, but also be considered a breach of contract, and they would have to pay the other party several times the penalty.

The worst part was that their car broke down in a place where there weren’t many passing cars on the road, even getting a taxi was difficult.

Just as Mengran was trying to negotiate with the other party on the phone, a black sedan stopped beside them.

Then Zhou Siyang got out of the driver’s seat and walked over.

Shiyin was sitting in the seat closest to the door, wearing a black fisherman’s hat on her head, bored and waiting.

Zhou Siyang stood in front of her and asked, “Yinyin, what’s wrong?”

Shiyin suddenly looked up, the man in front of her was backlit, appearing suddenly when the heroine was in trouble, like a god, radiating light all around him!

But when she thought about his later actions in the original novel, Shiyin felt that he was a scumbag, and the light that had been surrounding him suddenly disappeared.

Heh, men!

“The car broke down,” she said calmly, “We can’t get to the shooting location on time, we might have to pay a penalty.”

Zhou Siyang raised his lips and gently flicked her forehead, his words a little helpless, “Don’t I exist? You silly goose.”

Shiyin rolled her eyes and looked at him.

This man was being too much.

He doesn’t like her but he’s still flirting with her! Luckily she had seen the tragic events in the original novel, otherwise she would have definitely fallen for his handsome tricks!

Shiyin smiled gratefully, raising her voice, “Really? Thanks a lot!”

Then she called out to Mengran, “Brother Ran, come here! We have a solution!”

Mengran hurriedly hung up the phone and walked over. When she saw Zhou Siyang, she politely greeted him, then she heard Shiyin say with a smile, “Brother Siyang said he can help us!”

But Zhou Siyang showed a hint of apology, slightly embarrassed as he said to them, “That… my car only has one empty seat.”
