Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

Zhao Heng looked at her seriously when he heard this. "It's not just some mountain villa, it's called Jade Moon Villa."

Chen Qiyu nodded. "Alright, I got it," she said without interest and turned to enter the silk and satin boutique.

However, the man still would not leave even when she had started checking her accounts.

He placed one palm on the counter and stared at her with bright eyes, as if he would never get tired of watching her.

Chen Qiyu noticed this, but pretended not to; she was already used to this.

She never thought that her older brother would have a friend like him.

She had heard that he was an inhabitant of the martial arts world, but he looked more like someone who had no real work to do and spent most of his time sticking to her every day.

She had even chased him off quite a number of times when she got annoyed with him. However, he may look gentlemanly and handsome, but he was quite thick-skinned. No matter how she tried to chase him away, he would still appear the next day.

Chen Qiyu was quite exasperated by his behavior and, in the end, she decided to just ignore him.

She was a woman who had businesses to her name, and when her business was doing well, it was unavoidable to incur the jealousy of others. There was a time when she was harassed by a local ruffian; Zhao Heng appeared just in time to bail her out of the situation.

"Look, you're a woman trying to make a living," he had said. "There will be times when people will come to give you trouble. You're lucky I'm here today, or you would've suffered a huge loss."

From that day onward, Zhao Heng decided to stay in the same city and would often hang around her.

Even though Chen Qiyu found him somewhat annoying, she had to admit that it was pretty handy to have an intimidating man around her.

Things have been running smoothly for her since that last harassment incident and she was no longer bothered by the local ruffians.

"By the way, I haven't seen my big brother for quite a few days. Where did he go?" she asked casually.

Even though she and Chen Xuping were no longer estranged, they were still adults, at the end of the day. It sometimes still felt awkward when they saw each other.

Even so, Chen Xuping would still show concern for her once in a while and she had accepted it with an open heart.

However, she had not seen him for the past few days and was rather curious about his whereabouts.

Zhao Heng came closer to her and smiled mysteriously. "Take a guess."

Chen Qiyu shot him a look, not interested at all in his antics. "Stop playing these childish guessing games!"

Zhao Heng choked.

He could never understand this. She was only seventeen this year, but there was a look in her eyes that did not belong to a girl her age. Instead, he saw a dreariness in her gaze that told him she had already seen too much of this world.

He knew she used to be the concubine of the Crown Prince, but that did not bother him at all.

He had seen many kinds of girls while growing up in the martial arts world, but there were none like her at all.

That was why he had been intrigued by her the first time they met.

He knew from quite a while ago that Chen Xuping had a younger sister, but Xuping had never liked this stepsister of his and rarely mentioned her.

He initially had the impression that Xuping's younger sister might not be of great character, but this was proven to be wrong when he finally met her.

He paid more attention to her due to this curiosity but as the days went by, he found her to be genuinely interesting, which was why he always appeared before her whenever he could, using Chen Xuping as an excuse.

After meeting her a few more times, he found that he had developed a crush on her.

Although the girl might look young, she was not to be trifled with. Even though a few months had passed, she still refused to take so much as a second look at him.

"Xuping went to the imperial capital."

As it did not seem like she was going to take a guess, Zhao Heng had no choice but to reveal this.

Chen Qiyu looked at him in astonishment. "What is he going to the imperial capital for?"

"He still can't let go of his fiancée. So he went to sneak a look at her to relieve his lovesickness," Zhao Heng said skittishly.

Chen Qiyu rolled her eyes at this. The way he described it was as if Chen Xuping actually had deep feelings for Lin Qingyuan.

"I think he's just courting his death!"
