Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Daydreaming

Wang Yongzhu massaged her forehead, only to feel that the fruit wine she had drunk today was a bit too strong. She originally thought it was just fruit juice with a hint of alcohol, but she did not expect it to pack a punch.

She really couldn’t stand the sight of Wang Yongping’s tearful appearance, but she knew that he had been under a lot of stress recently, so she kindly let him vent.

Wang Yongzhu felt a bit hot, so she simply got up and went to the courtyard.

Song Chongjin silently followed behind her, also stepping outside.

Wang Yongzhu sat down on a stone bench with a plop, gazing at the moon above. She was not sure if it was the alcohol going to her head, or if the moonlight was too enchanting tonight, but she suddenly felt an impulse.

Out of the blue, she spoke up, "Do you have any regrets?"

The question came out of nowhere, but Song Chongjin understood it.

He sat down opposite Wang Yongzhu, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "No regrets."

Wang Yongzhu...

So annoying! Although she had resolved yesterday that her relationship with Song Chongjin was purely a partnership of mutual interest, as a top female student who was always seen as just a good buddy, didn’t she still retain a stubborn pride? Weren’t her imperial aura and such cleverness within attractive at all? Could it be that this guy chosen by the System was actually a straightforward face-chaser? Just because she wasn’t pretty on the outside, did that mean everything else was nullified?

But if you don’t regret it, then what’s with following me around these days? She might never have been in a relationship, but who hasn’t read a few books like ’Overbearing CEO Falls for Me,’ ’Overbearing Senior Falls for Me,’ ’Overbearing Hillbilly Falls for Me’?

Hovering around me for no reason, and it’s all just coincidence? Coincidence my ass!

If she truly believed in coincidences, she would indeed be an intellectual fool!

As a top student, when faced with doubts, she sought evidence.

She didn’t want to waste time on the tedious game of guessing whether we guess each other’s feelings of love or not.

So she simply asked him directly.

Unexpectedly, Song Chongjin really was something! Quite impressive! At this time, he still had no regrets about calling off the engagement to Wang Yongzhu!

Fine, play the lone overbearing hillbilly! Go roll around somewhere else!

I’m not serving you anymore!

Wang Yongzhu stood up to leave.

But she was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace.

If this were an overbearing CEO romance novel and she were the innocent flower heroine, she would definitely be pounding on your chest, crying out how bad and thoroughly despicable you were!

But if she threw a punch now, she feared it might be fatal, so never mind! She would hold back. Given her build, she couldn’t really pass for an innocent flower anyway, more like a man-eating flower. There was no need to embarrass herself.

But damn it, now that you’ve hugged me, say something, will you? Hugging without speaking is damn near harassment!

Wang Yongzhu tried to struggle free, but Song Chongjin held her still, his warm breath on the nape of her neck giving her goosebumps.

"You’re not her!" Those words made Wang Yongzhu freeze in place.

It took her quite a while to find her voice again, "What do you mean I’m not her? I don’t understand what you’re saying!"

She couldn’t admit it! Absolutely couldn’t admit it!

Wang Yongzhu frantically tried to push Song Chongjin away.

But she found that somehow, Song Chongjin had pressed down on a spot on her body, and her arms were suddenly too limp to lift.

Was this the legendary point-sealing technique? Wang Yongzhu’s heart tightened.

Song Chongjin had let go of Wang Yongzhu at this moment, only holding her wrist, with his fingers pressing on it. All of her strength seemed to have drained away, and she felt her legs go weak.

It was then that Wang Yongzhu looked up at Song Chongjin, whose expression was uncommonly serene, and even, there was a hint of amusement in his eyes.

This amusement immediately calmed Wang Yongzhu down, her scholarly instincts kicking back in, "What do you want to obtain?"

Wang Yongzhu had never been as lucid as she was now, instantly understanding that all her previous fantasies were just wishful thinking, maybe influenced by the emotions left by the original host, or maybe because Song Chongjin’s disguise was too good. Or perhaps it was due to the gene matching probability of the so-called A-Level Physique, or maybe it was just her own arrogance, thinking that if she acted differently from the original host after transmigrating, Song Chongjin would be able to see through the facade to her true nature and fall for her?

Pah! It was nothing but her own delusion.

She had thought that the so-called signs of Song Chongjin’s interest, the so-called coincidental meetings, were nothing but Song Chongjin’s means of observation after noticing something amiss.

It was just wrapped in a coat of gentleness, making her get carried away, really thinking that just because she had the shell of Wang Yongzhu, and inside she was Ming Zhu, she could win everyone’s favor?

Shameful! Wang Yongzhu clearly felt the shame of being a scholar who was deluded by these false exteriors!

Since Song Chongjin had already discovered something was off, what mattered now was to stay calm and see what his purpose was in exposing her.

Song Chongjin’s eyes showed undisguised admiration, and he smiled slightly, "As expected of a smart person, I like talking to smart people!"

"Cut the crap, what’s your purpose?" Wang Yongzhu wasn’t polite anymore.

"I don’t care who you are, where you come from, or what your mission is—" Song Chongjin spoke slowly, with a chilling coldness, "I just want you to tell me, who is your Noble Patron behind the scenes?"

Wang Yongzhu blinked her eyes. As Song Chongjin started to speak, her heart had leaped, and she almost thought Song Chongjin might have a System, and that the two Systems were going to battle it out.

But the latter part of his statement relieved Wang Yongzhu’s anxiety, and her scholarly mind began to analyze swiftly.

Did Song Chongjin suspect she had someone backing her, someone who had arranged for her to be by his side to his detriment? A Noble Patron behind the scenes?

From this, it seemed Song Chongjin must have encountered plenty of people who were against him, constantly on guard.

Continuing this line of thought, who would persist in harming Song Chongjin?

What about Song Chongjin’s background? His so-called Noble Patron father? Was there any connection?

Her mind racing, Wang Yongzhu kept a straight face and honestly replied, "My mission is to farm, and my Noble Patron behind is called Xiao Tiantian!"

She sold out the System quite cleanly and decisively.

Song Chongjin’s expression stiffened. What kind of mission was this? Xiao Tiantian? Could it be a code name?

"Have you ever seen your Noble Patron?"

"I haven’t seen them, only heard their voice. They issue me tasks at irregular intervals," Wang Yongzhu answered any question asked.

Song Chongjin’s face was solemn, as if he was pondering, who exactly was this Xiao Tiantian.

Watching him lost in thought, Wang Yongzhu suddenly spoke up, "Is it your father’s people giving you trouble? Or did your birth mother find out about your origins and wants to eliminate you?"

"How do you—" Song Chongjin began unconsciously, only to realize something was off after uttering three words.

He immediately swallowed the rest of his words, but it was too late. Seeing the smile on Wang Yongzhu’s face, a trace of fierceness flickered in his eyes.

"You actually tricked me—"

"It’s mutual!" Wang Yongzhu smiled faintly, feeling triumphant as she evened the score.

"Now, can we sit down and talk?" Wang Yongzhu spoke up. Since her future tasks couldn’t avoid Song Chongjin, it made sense to have an open and frank discussion, right? At this moment, both of them had leverage over each other, which allowed them to sit down calmly and talk.
