A woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

Ou Cong felt like Jiang Shuqin was turning his brain to mush.

"Shuqin, don’t you want to marry me?" Ou Cong couldn’t help but ask.

Do I want to?

Of course, I do.

However, Jiang Shuqin took several deep breaths before speaking: "Ou Cong, I know you’re silly, but I didn’t know you’re this silly!"

"Do you think? When I came clean with you, was it just because I simply wanted to marry you?" Jiang Shuqin crossed her arms over her chest and said, "What I want isn’t just marriage."

"What I want to know isn’t whether you’re willing to marry me."

"Ou Cong, I just want to know, do you actually like me?" Jiang Shuqin sighed and said seriously, "You know, every time I see Chuyi and Huo Shiqian, I get quite sentimental."

"Marriage should be like theirs."

"Mutual affection, harmonious coexistence..."

"Harmonious coexistence?"

Hearing Jiang Shuqin’s words, Ou Cong muttered softly, "When have we ever been ’harmonious’?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Isn’t that why I never thought in that direction?

Ou Cong felt that if he couldn’t figure out whether there was love between them, their way of getting along was definitely to blame!

Hearing Ou Cong’s words, Jiang Shuqin was taken aback.

Being someone who understood Ou Cong very well, Jiang Shuqin saw his demeanor and realized that Ou Cong still hadn’t taken this matter seriously at all.

Ou Cong, he...

A man, so nonchalant about a woman’s confession.

Jiang Shuqin’s heart gradually grew cold.

Maybe she was wrong from the start, Ou Cong really has always only considered her as a friend.

With this thought, Jiang Shuqin suddenly fell silent.

Seeing Jiang Shuqin’s silence, Ou Cong, not wanting to be "questioned," also gladly fell silent.

After a while, Jiang Shuqin finally spoke again: "Ou Cong, you don’t like me, right?"

Jiang Shuqin’s voice carried a hint of coldness.

"Not really... I just feel like we’re more like friends..." Hearing this, Ou Cong hesitated for a moment, trying to explain to Jiang Shuqin.

More like friends?

Or is it you just want to remain only friends?

At this moment, Jiang Shuqin’s eyes turned completely cold.

Honestly, Jiang Shuqin couldn’t explain her emotions at this time, feeling somewhat sad, disappointed, and a bit melancholy...

Turns out, it was always her one-sided affection...

But it’s fine, after this confrontation, Jiang Shuqin finally understood Ou Cong’s feelings.

If he doesn’t like her, then he doesn’t like her.

Jiang Shuqin isn’t someone who can’t find a husband!

So Jiang Shuqin took a deep breath and said, "Ou Cong, I understand, let’s just leave it at that."

"You don’t need to answer my question anymore." Jiang Shuqin said calmly, "In the future, I won’t bring it up again."

"Go out and tell your parents to go back first." Jiang Shuqin continued, "I’ll handle things on my mom’s side."

"In the future, let’s just go our separate ways."

"Go our separate ways?" Hearing Jiang Shuqin’s words, Ou Cong was stunned and immediately said, "Do you mean you won’t partner with me in business anymore? If you want to get married, I’ll agree to marry you!"

For no particular reason, Ou Cong’s heart felt a bit panicked, and his tone was somewhat hurried.

But the only reason he could think of was that he was afraid of losing this business partner, so he spoke anxiously.

At this point, Ou Cong was only concerned about business, and Jiang Shuqin had completely given up, saying, "We’ll discuss the business later."
