Not far behind, a woman carrying various pastries smiled brightly, striding forward and very intimately grabbing Song Zhi’s sleeve, “Where did you go?”
“Xu Wei!?” Song Zhi hadn’t expected her to appear here, his peach blossom eyes showing some discomfort, “Didn’t you say your mother was going to keep you at home to study this month?”
“But I missed you.” Xu Wei whispered sweet nothings in his ear as usual, not noticing his blushing face, and was even pushed away.
Song Zhi’s face turned pale, looking guiltily towards Su Jin.
Xu Wei, having been repeatedly rebuffed and seeing Song Zhi constantly looking at another person, spoke with clear displeasure, “And who might this be?”
“This one is Su Jin.”
Clothed in plain fabric, hair pinned with a wooden hairpin. One look and it was clear she was the daughter of a poor family.
Xu Wei greeted her carelessly, catching sight of the sachet in Song Zhi’s hand, she repeatedly praised, “Zhi’er’s embroidery skills are getting better and better, this new one is much more exquisite than the one you gave me two days ago.”
She spoke intimately, while observing the calm-faced Su Jin out of the corner of her eye, looking closely she did have some charm.
But in the end, she was just a commoner, not worth fearing.
“Miss Xu flatters me, it’s just ordinary craftsmanship, how can it be called exquisite?”
Song Zhi gently brushed off her hand, “A Liang comes from a family of fine embroidery, with his jade-like work as a precedent, how could Song Zhi dare to boast?”
Hearing this, Xu Wei’s heart leapt with joy. No wonder he was so distant, he must be jealous.
She immediately laughed heartily, “In any case, they were all given to me. If I say yours is more exquisite, what can he do about it?”
“Since Young Master Song has met an acquaintance, this Su shall not intrude further.”
Seeing their intimate manner, Su Jin felt relieved. Worried that her mentor had been waiting long, she hurriedly cupped her hands in farewell and left.
As soon as she left, Song Zhi’s expression became even more unpleasant. He cast a cold glance at the still proud Xu Wei and said coldly, “Miss Xu, I already spoke clearly with you a few days ago.”
“Clearly, of course clearly.” Xu Wei said nonchalantly, “Isn’t it just that previous shadowy engagement?”
“Your father came to my home yesterday.” Xu Wei smiled, “My family is quite satisfied with you.”
Song Zhi glanced at her a few times, peach blossoms rippling, making Xu Wei’s heart sweeten a few more degrees.
“Zhi’er, don’t be upset anymore. A Liang and I only met a few times, my feelings for you, heaven and earth can attest!”
“Even now, you still think I’m the one making a fuss?” Song Zhi shook off her outstretched hand, enunciating each word, “Xu Wei, I will not marry you, not now, not ever.”
The wind rose, making the begonia red on his body even more bewitching.
Xu Wei stared at him blankly.
There was no affection in those peach blossom eyes, the ink-black pupils dark and deep, “I will make things clear with my family, and you should not come looking for me anymore in the future.”
He spoke resolutely, completely different from the young man who had been clinging to her two days ago.
Xu Wei took a few steps back in disbelief, the smile on her lips gradually becoming awkward, “You… what nonsense are you talking now? Are you really Song Zhi?”
Unfortunately, the young man in front of her did not answer, only slowly smiled, opened his umbrella and turned away.
It wasn’t until that begonia red robe had swayed away that Xu Wei seemed to come to her senses.
The pastries in her hand felt like a thousand jin of cold ice, weighing her down with panic and chill.
……
By the time Su Jin hurried back to the Shen residence, the hair at her temples was already damp with sweat. She took the handkerchief handed to her by the maid and hastily wiped a few times. Just as she sat down, she heard Shen Meng laugh, “Run Yuan, I heard that a young gentleman came looking for you today?”
Su Jin felt somewhat embarrassed, but Shen Yuan, who had been quietly cracking walnuts earlier, glanced over, “Indeed, and quite handsome too.”

Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Synopsis:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
He even had his eyes on another woman.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
Su Mu expressed her disdain.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
She also wanted to embrace Xie Yi, who had silently stayed by her side in her previous life and committed suicide by taking poison after her death.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
—–
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
