Chapter 122 Big Mistake, I Think He Likes Chu Jingyue

Facing Jiang Suining's smile, Shen Yanxi's impatience from last night suddenly froze at this moment. The words that he had been brewing in his heart to express his feelings could not be uttered at this moment.

He stood there stiffly, as if he was about to say something but hesitated. Jiang Suining looked at him with some confusion, "Mr. Shen, is there something wrong?"

I don't have much interaction with Shen Yanxi. He showed up here so early in the morning and didn't look like he was here to buy books. He must have something to talk to me about.

Jiang Suining's polite and distant attitude made Shen Yanxi feel even more frustrated.

But he knew very well that the other party's attitude was justified. After all, apart from helping him out once and giving him a gift, he had basically done nothing for the person in front of him. Even Jiang Suining might not have thought that the gift was from him.

Under such circumstances, it was perfectly normal for Jiang Suining to treat me like this.

If Wei Congze hadn't been around, he could have tried to get in touch with Jiang Suining more, show more kindness, and do more for her. He could have expressed his feelings later, and it wouldn't have been too abrupt. But now...

Shen Yanxi took a deep breath. Even if he didn't express his feelings, he had to tell Jiang Suining about Wei Congze's gambling habit, so that she wouldn't be kept in the dark and her judgment would be affected.

"Miss Jiang, Wei Cong..."

As soon as Shen Yanxi opened his mouth, a voice called out.

"Sui Ning!"

Chu Jingyue sat in the oncoming carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at Jiang Suining.

Jiang Suining turned his head to look, and Shen Yanxi's words were interrupted.

When the carriage stopped, Chu Jingyue walked quickly to Jiang Suining.

"Sui Ning, my father is very optimistic about Wei Congze. Since it's so hard..." Before Chu Jingyue finished her words, Jiang Sui Ning shook his head at her and signaled with his eyes.

Chu Jingyue then noticed Shen Yanxi next to him, and immediately swallowed the rest of her words, and asked, "Why is Mr. Shen here too?"

Shen Yanxi raised his eyebrows and said, "I just came to Ning Mo Zhai to hang out when I was free."

Chu Jingyue also knew Wei Congze, and also said that Prince Chu was optimistic about Wei Congze, could it be...

A guess immediately emerged in Shen Yanxi's mind, and after a moment's thought, he smiled and spoke.

"Princess Chu just mentioned Wei Congze, and I just heard that he is about to get married."

Chu Jingyue's face changed, "Who told you that? Did Wei Congze say something nonsense?"

"He only said that he found a good marriage, but he didn't mention who the girl's family is." Shen Yanxi spoke while observing the reactions of Chu Jingyue and Jiang Suining.

Seeing Chu Jingyue frowning tightly, he became more certain of his guess.

So, the marriage that Wei Congze was talking about was not with Jiang Suining, but with Chu Jingyue?

In an instant, Shen Yanxi felt as if the clouds and fog had cleared away, his heart suddenly became clear, and even the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

Jiang Suining looked at Shen Yanxi in confusion.

Why did she feel that Shen Yanxi's words just now were a test of Jingyue?

But what does this have to do with Shen Yanxi? Why did he test it? And the smile on his lips at this moment, could it be that Shen Yanxi laughed because of Chu Jingyue's displeasure when she mentioned Wei Congze?

Jiang Suining thought about it in his heart, but did not say much. Instead, he said to Shen Yanxi to wait a moment and took Chu Jingyue aside.

"Didn't I send you a letter last night? Didn't you receive it?"

"I got it, that's why I'm anxious." Chu Jingyue frowned, "You said in the letter not to tell my parents about Wei Congze's gambling, but we finally got some evidence, if I don't tell them, how can they hate Wei Congze?"

It won’t be long before the results are announced. Looking at the current situation, she will definitely not be able to delay any longer regarding her father’s affairs after the results are announced.

"It's just a gambling loss. Even if you tell him, it may not completely make Prince Chu give up the idea." Jiang Suining paused, looked at the anxious Chu Jingyue and comforted her, "I know you are anxious, but give Wei Congze some more time. We must let his true nature be fully exposed."

Chu Jingyue pursed her lips. She knew that what Sui Ning said made sense and she originally wanted to be patient and wait.

But last night she accidentally heard that her father and mother were discussing the dowry, and it seemed that they were planning to let her get married after the results were announced!

"Sui Ning, it's not that I don't believe you, but can Wei Congze really reveal his true nature in a short period of time as you said?"

"Just now on the way to Ning Mo Zhai, I received the latest news reported by the servant. Wei Congze went to the gambling house again."

"Gone again?" Chu Jingyue was stunned.

Jiang Suining nodded.

Yesterday, after Wei Congze lost the bet, he returned to the inn penniless. It happened that the room fee he had paid in advance had been used up, and it was difficult to ask for it as he was in the Imperial Examination Hall. Now that the imperial examination was over, the innkeeper mentioned the room fee as soon as he saw Wei Congze.

Wei Congze also agreed to pay the new room fee in advance today. He left the inn early in the morning and went to the pawnshop to pawn his jade pendant. However, he did not use the silver he got back to pay the room fee, but went to the gambling house again.

Chu Jingyue frowned, "He still gambles even though he owes rent. He really hasn't learned his lesson! It seems that Wei Congze is a gambler himself."

"Although he went to the gambling house every month before, he controlled the frequency very well, making people feel that he still had some self-control. But now it seems..." Jiang Sui shook his head, "He didn't lose enough before."

Although she had secretly pushed him yesterday, that was to make him penniless. It was beyond her expectation that Wei Congze would go gambling today even though she knew he owed rent. But this did not affect the subsequent arrangements, and perhaps Wei Congze would make a bigger fuss than she had initially imagined.

With Jiang Suining's comfort, Chu Jingyue's anxiety was relieved a lot.

Shen Yanxi was standing not far away. Although he did not hear what Jiang Suining and Chu Jingyue said, he could roughly guess what they said by looking at their expressions.

It seems that Chu Jingyue is not willing to marry Wei Congze. Because she is on good terms with Jiang Suining, she comes to her for advice. Jiang Suining met Wei Congze yesterday, probably for Chu Jingyue.

Thinking of this, all the previous depression and tension were swept away, and the corners of Shen Yanxi's lips couldn't help but rise.

After Jiang Suining watched Chu Jingyue leave, he turned around and saw Shen Yanxi's appearance.

"Master Shen seems particularly happy?"

"I'm in a good mood indeed." Shen Yanxi's eyes were smiling, and his face looked even more handsome and stunning because of the smile. He was completely different from his previous expression.

Jiang Suining raised an eyebrow, "Is it because of Princess Chu's reaction just now?"

"Yes." Shen Yanxi nodded.

If it weren’t for Chu Jingyue, I’m afraid the misunderstanding would continue.

Jiang Suining looked at Shen Yanxi, who had a calm expression, and chuckled.

"Mr. Shen is honest, but if you really like Jingyue, it's best not to propose marriage rashly. Ask her what she thinks in private first, so as to avoid causing her more trouble."

Shen Yanxi's smile froze on his face. "Do you think... I like Chu Jingyue?"
