Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 824 Don't be ungrateful

Song Zhiyu couldn't help but think of Chu Qingli. He scratched his head sheepishly and said:

"Actually, I didn't have many opportunities to see Miss Chu after that. It was only when I went to my colleague's place for drinks that Miss Qingli came looking for his sister that I bumped into her twice."

"Then you never asked Qingli out?" Song Ruozhen asked.

Song Zhiyu hesitated, seemingly unsure how to begin.

"Third brother, this is a major event in your life, concerning your happiness for the rest of your life. I am your own sister, is there anything you can't tell me?"

Song Ruozhen patted Song Zhiyu and said, "Tell me quickly, and I'll see if I can help you come up with a plan."

"To be honest, I do like Qingli, but she doesn't like me."

I want to find a chance to see her, but I really can't think of a reason. If I just go and go directly to her, even if I see her, I don't know what to say.

Song Zhiyu clapped his hands helplessly, "Am I too useless?"

"So you've been going to your colleague's house for drinks lately, hoping to bump into Qingli, right?" Song Ruozhen chuckled.

Song Zhiyu nodded. "That's all I can think of. But each time it's just a fleeting meeting, and we don't even have time to say a few words before she and Tian Shu go back inside."

"Then let me ask you again, how many times did you go to your colleague's house, and how many times did you meet Miss Qingli?"

Song Zhiyu suddenly smiled and said, "It's quite a coincidence. I went to my colleague's house three times and ran into him twice."

The time we didn't meet was because I hadn't told him beforehand; it was a last-minute decision after I finished my work with him. Don't you think we're quite destined for each other?

Song Ruozhen couldn't help but chuckle and nodded, saying, "What a coincidence! You two are indeed very destined for each other!"

"So what do you say every time we meet?"

"I didn't say anything. Every time, it was when Tian Qiang and I were drinking, Tian Shu would come out to wait for Qing Li, and that's how we met."

Ever since they realized they had mistaken me for my fourth brother, Tian Shu and Tian Qiang have felt quite embarrassed and even apologized to me.

Looking back on the past few days, Song Zhiyu was actually quite happy.

After finding someone he liked, he felt that life was full of hope. When he came back, he would make a special detour to the road near Prince Gong's Mansion, hoping to bump into him.

However, he seemed to be unlucky and never ran into one.

"Third brother, are you so sure you like her?" Song Ruozhen asked curiously.

Song Zhiyu nodded very seriously, "Although you all say that I was clueless before and had never liked a girl, I had never had this feeling before."

But after I met her, I understood. I'm not good with words, and I don't know how to describe it, but I knew very well that she was different from all the other girls to me.

Song Ruozhen smiled and said, "After you and Miss Qingli have expressed your feelings for each other, you can tell her these words. She will be very happy."

"Fifth sister, do you think she might like me?"

Song Zhiyu has been thinking about this question a lot lately. Sometimes he feels that he is not that bad and that it is not impossible, but other times he feels that Qingli is of noble status and looks like a fairy, so he is afraid that she would look down on him.

"Why is it impossible? You're great!"

Song Ruozhen patted Song Zhiyu on the shoulder with an "I understand" expression. "When you like someone, it's easy to feel insecure. When you love someone, you often feel indebted. It's normal."

"Really?"

When Song Zhiyu saw that his younger sister didn't laugh at him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He's been troubled by this matter lately, and feels he's really too stupid. He wanted to ask Lao Si, but Lao Si always looks like he deserves a beating.

His fifth sister's words gave him an outlet to relieve his emotions.

"Of course, but third brother, you are a man, so you should naturally take the initiative when pursuing a girl you like."

In fact, a man wouldn't be nice to a girl for no reason; it must be because he likes her. Qingli is a smart girl, and she must know that too.

In that case, I think you'd be better off being more open and honest. You can be direct, but you need to know when to back down and not scare people away.

As she spoke, Song Ruozhen suddenly snapped her fingers, revealing an excited expression.

"Third brother, head east as soon as you step out the gate. Today is your chance to be a hero and save the damsel in distress!"

Song Zhiyu was stunned. One second his younger sister was giving him advice, and the next second she was pushing him out the door.

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Seeing that Song Zhiyu did as she said without asking any questions, Song Ruozhen felt that being obedient was also a virtue!

How convenient!

"Zhen'er, where is your third brother?"

Gu Ruyan was puzzled when she noticed that there were two people together just now, but now there was only one person.

"Third brother has gone to work on his life's most important matter, who knows, your daughter-in-law might be settled soon."

Gu Ruyan clapped her hands, a look of delight on her face. "Are you serious?"

"The trope of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress is old, but it's still very appealing, especially since that's how they met in the first place."

If I could save them again today, wouldn't it be hard not to be moved?

"Yes, yes, yes!" Gu Ruyan nodded repeatedly. "Back then, I fell for your father because he saved me!"

When this girl was frightened, the third brother appeared out of nowhere to protect her; she'll definitely like that.

After a moment of excitement, Gu Ruyan suddenly realized something was wrong and asked, "Is that place dangerous? Will your third brother be alright going alone?"

Song Ruozhen: "..."

She's only thinking about her daughter-in-law and has completely forgotten about her son!

"Mother, isn't it too late for you to ask this now?"

Gu Ruyan waved her hand awkwardly, "I was just thinking of the third brother, wasn't I?"

"Don't worry, it might be dangerous for an ordinary man, but we know very well how skilled Third Brother is in martial arts. Ordinary people are no match for him!"

Song Ruozhen exuded confidence; her third brother's strength was now no less than that of her eldest brother.

If he were to bring someone along, it would seem like a premeditated act; going alone would be less suspicious.

Moreover... if he gets a minor injury, it would be even more heartbreaking.

To win the heart of your beloved, you always have to make some sacrifices.

After leaving the house, Song Zhiyu headed east. He walked quickly, worried that Chu Qingli might encounter an accident if he was too late.

I was worried that I might miss the place since I didn't know exactly where it was, but I met Chu Qingli not long after.

Her figure stood out prominently in the street, making her impossible to ignore.

"Qingli, you've now been branded as a jinx, and no one is willing to marry you. You might as well marry me."

Marry me, and at least no one will laugh at you anymore. I'm giving you a good place to go, so don't be ungrateful!
