A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 240 He wasn't worried at all

Madam Jiang was shocked. Jiang Yichen was usually a very reliable child, so why was he so unreliable at this crucial moment?

"Why don't you tell her beforehand? What if she's not available?"

Mrs. Jiang offered a tactful reminder.

"No, she's in the bookstore every day, and I told her yesterday that I was going to propose marriage. She knows about it, and I'm worried that she might get angry today because we're not going to propose."

Madam Jiang thought to herself, "This is not the problem you need to consider right now. What you need to consider right now is that if we go to her door and find that she is not there, wouldn't we have made a wasted trip?"

"Should we confirm this first?"

"No need, she's definitely there."

Madam Jiang felt a headache coming on. She didn't know if it was because she hadn't slept well last night or because she was annoyed by Jiang Yichen's confident tone. After all, she wasn't his biological mother. "...Alright, let's go then."

As the group was about to head towards Youdian Bookstore, they ran into Gu Qingfeng. Gu Qingfeng saw them about to leave and greeted Madam Jiang first, "Hello, Aunt Jiang."

"Yichen, where are you going?"

Jiang Yichen ignored him, and Gu Qingfeng was used to it. In the days since he returned from Jiangnan, Gu Qingfeng had become quite familiar with Jiang Mingyun. Since Jiang Yichen ignored him, he moved closer to Jiang Mingyun and winked, "Mingyun, where are you going?"

Seeing that neither his mother nor his brother spoke, Jiang Mingyun leaned closer and asked, "Is my mother going to meet my future sister-in-law?"

"Oh, I'm going to meet my future sister-in-law."

Gu Qingfeng suddenly realized, "What?! What are you going to do?! Future sister-in-law, isn't that Jiang Yichen's fiancée?"

Jiang Mingyun hadn't expected him to be so loud, so she quietly pinched his arm. "Are you trying to kill me? Why are you shouting like that?"

"No, Jiang Yichen, when did you get a sweetheart? How come I didn't know?"

"Does my brother need to consult you if he has someone he likes?"

"No, I hadn't seen him getting close to that girl before I went to Jiangnan. How come he suddenly has a fiancée? Could it be that your family has been talking about him for him recently?"

Gu Qingfeng raised a question.

"Of course not, this sister-in-law was personally chosen by my brother."

Gu Qingfeng was even more surprised, "With your brother's cold-hearted attitude, which girl could he possibly be interested in? That girl is going to be in big trouble, isn't she?"

Jiang Mingyun pinched him again, "Don't talk nonsense. I, Xiong Zhan, am so outstanding. Who wouldn't be good enough for me? That girl is incredibly lucky."

"Who?"

Gu Qingfeng's gossipy nature was burning brightly.

"Zhou Tong".

Who is Zhou Tong?

Now it was Jiang Mingyun's turn to be surprised, "You don't even know who Zhou Tong is?"

"Is this person famous? I don't know anything about him."

"You know Xiao Ba, right? Zhou Tong is Xiao Ba's boss and the owner of Youjian Bookstore."

"What?! Isn't the owner of that bookstore supposed to be mysterious and elusive? How did your brother get involved with her?"

“She had already returned during our trip to Jiangnan. I don’t know how my brother came to like Boss Zhou, but he begged our parents to let him marry her.”

Do you know her?

"Yes, I know her. She's good friends with Brother Hanzhang. At first, I thought she was after Brother Hanzhang and was very wary of her, thinking she wasn't good enough for him. But it turns out it was Brother Hanzhang who took a liking to her. I don't know what happened."

"So, what does Mr. Zhou look like?"

Gu Qingfeng was extremely interested in this point.

"Well, she's not a beauty in the traditional sense. You don't think she's pretty at first glance, but the strangest thing is that the more you look at her, the more beautiful she becomes."

"There are people like that?" This made Gu Qingfeng very curious, and he really wanted to go and see for himself.

"How's your figure?"

Jiang Mingyun didn't hesitate at all this time, "Good, very good. She has a beautiful figure with curves in all the right places, and her skin is delicate and smooth, as white and tender as a freshly peeled egg. I accidentally touched her once, and even I, a woman, was attracted to her. Moreover, she looks even more beautiful when she smiles, as if she has become a different person."

She tugged at Gu Qingfeng's sleeve, "Tell me, how can there be such a wonderful woman in this world?"

"...Didn't you just say that she wasn't good enough for your brother Hanzhang? How come she's Jiang Yichen's wife? Your opinion of her seems to be completely different now."

"What's the big deal? My brother Hanzhang deserves the best." Jiang Mingyun said with pride when talking about Zhou Hanzhang.

Gu Qingfeng felt a chill run down his spine when he saw her expression.

"Alright, alright, anyone who didn't know better would think you were in heat."

Jiang Mingyun spat at him, "You're the one who's in heat!"

After learning about the relevant information from Jiang Mingyun, Gu Qingfeng became even more curious about Zhou Tong.

"Jiang Yichen, I want to go with you too."

Jiang Yichen looked at him like he was an idiot. "What are you going with me for? That's my future wife. What does she have to do with you?"

"How can you say it has nothing to do with me? You're hurting me so much by saying that. We were classmates, and you're treating me like this? Don't you know that friendships between classmates are also closely related to their wives? How am I supposed to know if my future wife is compatible with the person you're going to marry?"

"What? You have someone you like now?"

Jiang Yichen was quite surprised. Gu Qingfeng usually seemed carefree, so why was he talking about his future wife? Could it be that he already had someone?

"No, it's just that I'll see what your wife looks like, so I can find a woman who can get along with her to be my wife. Then, when we drink and admire the moon together, our wives can also drink tea and admire flowers together, right?"

It must be said that Gu Qingfeng's words really touched Jiang Yichen.

Zhou Tong seemed to have few friends. He hadn't figured out her relationship with Zhou Hanzhang yet. His sister and Zhou Tong were just so-so. Apart from her subordinate Xiao Ba, he hadn't really seen anyone else around her.

Of course, it's also possible that they haven't known each other for very long.

However, he believes that he will understand it better and better in the future.

He reached out and helped Madam Jiang into the carriage first. Then Jiang Mingyun was about to put her hand on his, but Jiang Yichen actually let go of her hand.

Jiang Mingyun almost fell to the ground, looking at Jiang Yichen with a bitter expression, "Brother, I'm going to tell Zhou Tong about this."

"what ever."

Jiang Yichen didn't care at all. His Zhou Tong didn't seem like the kind of person who could decide his life or death based on Jiang Mingyun's words alone, so he wasn't worried at all.
