She is the most beautiful rose

Chapter 344 is beautiful, I like it very much.
Jingmo picked up the cigarette case, shook out a cigarette, and lit it herself. Shen Manzhi watched as she tried three times before she finally lit it.

Two people arrived, quickly cleaned up the scene, took the boy away, tidied up, and left.

Jing Mo glanced at her with a half-smile, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

"He certainly wouldn't do such a thing, but it was caused by him, so it's not unfair."

She offered Shen Manzhi a cigarette, which she refused, so she handed her a bottle of water instead.

“I met a client in the VIP room downstairs that night and had some drinks. When I came back from the restroom, this boy brought me to my private room. I had someone check and found out that he was Wei Song’s admirer and wanted Wei Song to see what kind of person I was in person.”

The boy was given some kind of drug and lunged at Jingmo. Being schemed against on her own turf, she turned cold and delivered a slash to the boy's neck.

The receptionist downstairs sent word that Wei Song was on his way, so she simply took him back to his room on the fifth floor, which led to the scene that just unfolded.

Jingmo's long eyelashes drooped slightly. "I'm already married, but he's still bothering me like before. I don't have the patience to play along with him."

Shen Manzhi seemed to be deep in thought. Was it just a game?

Jingmo's words and actions all appeared hard and indifferent, but from an outsider's perspective, it wasn't that he didn't care at all.

Wei Song, who was willing to speak sarcastically and harshly to her, a woman, because of their brotherhood, said nothing when he spoke such hurtful words to Jing Mo.

Perhaps at first it was just a way for the young master of a wealthy family to pass the time when he was bored. Jingmo half-heartedly went along with his act, and later they both fell in love, but they never expected it to end up like this.

"If I hadn't introduced Tang Qin to you..."

"That won't change the outcome between him and me."

Jingmo knew what she was thinking, and her expression was deep. "Zhizhi, the reason we've come to this point isn't because of family ties or anyone else. It's because from beginning to end, he never firmly wanted to choose me."

Shen Manzhi was somewhat surprised.

"Although it's called a marriage between two powerful families, in reality, the Jing family is climbing the social ladder. When news of Wei Song and my frequent contact first reached the capital, only the Jing family immediately took public relations action to refute the rumors and called me back to clarify the facts. The Wei family never showed up. Do you know why?"

Having spent a long time in the world of fame and fortune, she naturally knew what was going on, but Shen Manzhi found it difficult to speak.

Jing Mo smiled and said, "Jing Fuxiang wasn't actually the best choice. It's just that the Jing family happened to have a lucrative project benefiting from policy incentives, and a profitable collaboration was the best option. So the Wei family condescended to act as a matchmaker and chose the eldest daughter of the Jing family."

Wei Song was an only child, and his life had already been planned out step by step. His family disdained the women who might appear around him, because no matter what, Wei Song had to follow the path they had ordained, and anything outside of that plan would be discarded.

She paused, then added, "He knew all this better than anyone else. That's why he was willing to bear the scandal of having an affair with his fiancée's sister rather than discuss breaking off the engagement with his family, and later he decisively chose Jing Fuxiang."

instead of her.

He doesn't even dare to admit his own feelings, so how could he possibly go against the marriage arranged for him by his family?

"So whether I get married or not, there is no possibility between him and me."

Jingmo lowered his eyes and stubbed out his cigarette in the cup.

Although she stated it in a straightforward manner, Shen Manzhi could vaguely hear her pauses and frowns.

She knew that being chosen with unwavering resolve was a blessing for the one who was loved, which is why she understood what Jingmo meant by "no possibility."

Hurtful words are meant to drive the other person away and to put an end to this unsuitable relationship, but the final parting of ways is somewhat embarrassing.

She changed the subject, "Is Tang Qin still in Huaicheng these days?"

"Back to the unit."

"Feelings should not be a constraint, nor should marriage."

Jingmo looked at her and chuckled, "Are you worried that I'll suffer in this marriage?"

Shen Manzhi remained noncommittal. "I originally thought that Tang Qin's power was far greater than that of the Jingwei family and that he could protect you. But he used marriage to keep you here. If this becomes a constraint on you, it's better not to have it. I can protect you too."

Jingmo's smile was bright and captivating, and her eyes softened considerably. "Zhizhi, do you know how charming you are like this?"

Shen Manzhi remained silent, only looking at her with some concern.

"When he left two days ago, he told me that if you tried to persuade me to get a divorce, I should ignore you."

"..."

How could you predict that?
Shen Manzhi was speechless. "Why?"

He said that since you also got married first and then fell in love, you should just listen to his advice casually and not take it seriously.

"..."

The boomerang pierced him again.

Worried that Qin Yanfeng would have to wait too long, Shen Manzhi carried the gift box back to the parking lot and got into the car before realizing that she had forgotten to open the gift beforehand.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Qin Yanfeng showed no impatience and asked, "Is it about your friend?"

Shen Manzhi looked at him with surprise.

"I just ran into Wei Song and we chatted for a while."

"What did he say?"

Qin Yanfeng remained silent for a moment.

Shen Manzhi raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile on her face. "Are you saying that neither Jingmo nor I are good people, and that you shouldn't get too involved?"

Qin Yanfeng took her hand and squeezed it. "No, he asked me a question."

"what?"

Wei Song went down to the parking lot and stood in the open space in front of the elevator for a long time. Qin Yanfeng looked up and saw him, so he went over and chatted for a while.

They didn't actually talk about what happened, but Qin Yanfeng guessed that he had come because of Shen Manzhi's friend.

Wei Song asked her, "When Shen Manzhi left, she was so decisive and resolute. Why did you choose her again and again?"

Qin Yanfeng thought he had taken the wrong medicine and suddenly asked about Shen Manzhi. But then he thought again that it might be because of someone else.

Shen Manzhi frowned. Did Wei Song want to try to get another chance for him?

What did you answer?

Qin Yanfeng turned to look at her, his gaze gentle and profound. "I said it because I'm sure I love you, and I can't live without you."

It turns out that he had been firmly choosing her all along.

Shen Manzhi was speechless. "Are you using this as an excuse to say sweet nothings?"

Qin Yanfeng smiled, turned and kissed her, "Let's go back."

He didn't explain, but Shen Manzhi knew it must be the truth.

She blushed and her heart raced for a while after being teased, then turned her head to look out the window and slowly calmed down.

But thinking about Jingmo and Weisong tonight, she became somewhat absent-minded.

Lovers who are incompatible may eventually have to resort to harsh words to drive each other away and completely separate, possibly never speaking to each other again.

She thought about her future with Qin Yanfeng.

Because of her unique physical condition, Shen Manzhi rarely thought that far into the future. There were too many unpredictable things about the future, and she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be forced to leave someday. If it really came to that, Qin Yanfeng would certainly not want it. He was such a good person, how could she bear to say hurtful things to him?

But if she doesn't make a tough decision, Qin Yanfeng will keep waiting for her, or even go looking for her, and she will only encounter more trouble and crises.

Qin Yanfeng noticed that she was lost in thought. On the way home, after she took a shower, he took the gift box to the bed and asked Shen Manzhi to open it and put it on. Only then did she look up at him somewhat absentmindedly.

Perhaps because of his friend's matter, Qin Yanfeng didn't ask too many questions. He turned off the ceiling light and turned on the ambient light by the bed. Shen Manzhi came back to her senses in a daze.

"What?"

"Didn't we agree to wear it?"

Shen Manzhi blinked, watching him unpack the gift box. Suddenly remembering that some gifts had marks from being opened, she perked up and reached out to take it, saying, "Let me do it."

Qin Yanfeng didn't move, staring at the intact label on the gift box without saying a word.

Was discovered.

Shen Manzhi bit her tongue and leaned closer, "I..."

Qin Yanfeng slightly raised his eyes, a hint of coldness in them. "What's inside?"

"..."

It would be better to just sentence them to death.

He sneered, "The gift I gave you has been forgotten for so long, and you still lied to me and said you liked it?"

Knowing she was in the wrong, Shen Manyi maintained a good attitude, saying, "I'll like whatever you give me."

Qin Yanfeng glanced at her. "Is that so?"

I felt there was something off about his expression.

Shen Manzhi watched as he tore off the label and unfastened the clasp to reveal the packaging inside.

It glitters with silver light and has an intricate design.

necklace?

It seemed to be longer than a necklace, and Shen Manzhi stared intently at the chain on his hand.

Qin Yanfeng had long, slender fingers with beautiful, slender bones. An intricate chain hung on his hand, shimmering with tiny lights and making a clear, ringing sound when he played with it.

Shen Manzhi took a closer look and saw that there were small bells hanging on it.

"Waist chain?"

"Hmm," Qin Yanfeng raised an eyebrow, "Do you like it?"

Does she dare to say no now?
Qin Yanfeng lifted the hem of her nightgown and put it on her.

Although she didn't understand why he gave her the waist chain, Shen Manzhi still didn't refuse, since her lack of appreciation had already upset him.

Fine, she simply lifted her hem to reveal her snow-white waist, adjusted the position of the waist chain, and felt a strange sensation as the cool, metallic texture pressed against her skin.

The waist dimples are deep, so deep that they can be grasped with one hand, and the bell hangs down to the navel.

Shen Manzhi thought he probably wanted to see how it looked when he wore it, so she sincerely expressed her liking for it, "It's so beautiful, I really like it."

She looked up at Qin Yanfeng's expression, trying to make amends for her earlier behavior, only to find him staring intently at her waist, his eyes dark and imposing—that familiar feeling…

It’s over.

Shen Manzhi knew why he wanted to buy the waist chain, and he insisted that she wear it.

She had just experienced that suffocating feeling that morning, and a wave of panic washed over her. Just as she was about to back away, her ankles were grabbed, and her hands were held and pushed above her head.

"Qin Yanfeng..."

Shen Manzhi herself could hear the slight tremor in her voice.

Qin Yanfeng leaned over her, unbuttoning her clothes. Deeply aroused, he said in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong? Don't you like the gift I gave you?"

If she had known it would be like this, she would have said she didn't like it from the beginning.

With the obscuring removed, the visual impact is enhanced.

Shen Manzhi's breathing quickened, and she couldn't help but frown. "You gave me a gift just for this?"

Qin Yanfeng is not so easily fooled now. He gently pinched her chin and said, "Anyway, you don't care about anything I give you, so I might as well teach you a lesson."

Shen Manzhi was speechless. That was clearly what he meant, yet he insisted on using her as an excuse.

Qin Yanfeng kissed her collarbone and whispered in her ear, "You're very beautiful, I like you too."

Shen Manzhi bit her lip, staring at the ceiling, her eyes moist.

What a bastard.

She vaguely recalled the night she left him on the Lantern Festival a year ago, the night she tricked him into bed.

If he leaves in the future, he probably won't be so easily fooled anymore.

You're daydreaming.

Qin Yanfeng leaned against her side, his eyes filled with intense passion and desire, sweat dripping down his jawline, his thin skin glistening with moisture.

"What are you thinking about?"

Shen Manzhi was slightly taken aback, her gaze unexpectedly meeting his deep eyes.

The thought he hadn't had time to conceal, and his absent-mindedness after returning from Jingwei tonight, made Qin Yanfeng's heart sink for no reason.

"Thinking about your friend?"

Shen Manzhi blinked. "No."

"I'm thinking about it," Shen Manzhi said, her eyes reddening, "Are you still angry?"

Qin Yanfeng smiled slightly, leaned down and kissed him, "Don't lie to me anymore."

The darkness in his eyes did not lessen in the slightest.

In the early hours of the morning, Shen Manzhi was carried to the full-length mirror in the dressing room. Qin Yanfeng hugged her from behind and made her look in the mirror, saying, "Zhizhi."

She weakly opened her eyelids, and her reflection in the mirror was nestled in his arms, her knees pressed together, revealing a faint pink hue.

Qin Yanfeng whispered a kiss into her ear, his gentle seduction tinged with a possessive plea, "Don't even think about leaving me."

Shen Manzhi's pupils contracted slightly, and a flash of white light appeared in her mind.

My heart feels heavy, and my eyes are a little sore.

He understood her so well; he could tell what she was thinking just by observing her undisguised and unconcealed emotions.
