Chapter 603: Chapter 553, Parting_2

Zhou Chengye glanced at his father and Uncle Yan, who looked awkward and uneasy, and internally screamed that he had made a blunder.

As he watched his third brother struggling to hold back, with slightly reddened eyes fixed on the Zhou family’s boat, Daohua tried to restrain herself, but in the end, she couldn’t help shouting towards the Zhou family’s boat, “Jingwan, weren’t you going to bring me a hairpin? I’ve decided, I want one studded with sapphires and with pearl pendants, preferably in a floral design.”

In the cabin, as Zhou Jingwan was brewing tea, upon hearing these words, she quickly said, “Grandfather, I’m going out to check. I promised to bring Yiyi a hairpin when I come back, and I can’t get it wrong.”

After speaking, she put down the teaware and darted out.

The old maid beside Madam Zhou wanted to stop her, but after a glance from the senior Mr. Zhou, she immediately bowed her head and stayed still.

No sooner had Zhou Jingwan run out of the cabin than she bumped into Madam Zhou who had just boarded the boat.

Madam Zhou wanted to call her daughter back into the cabin, but sadly, Zhou Jingwan had already run up to the deck, “Yiyi, what did you say again? What kind do you want?”

Just after shouting, she saw Yan Wentao on the shore, and her eyes instantly lit up. She was about to dash down from the boat.

Seeing this, Madam Zhou hastily pulled her back, “We are about to set sail, what are you trying to do?”

Zhou Jingwan replied, “Third Brother Yan has come, I’m going to say goodbye to him.”

Madam Zhou’s expression darkened, as she used her body to block her daughter and said with knitted brows, “What are you talking about? Where is it appropriate for a lady to bid farewell to a man in public? Do you no longer care about your reputation?”

Zhou Jingwan frowned slightly, her expression showing some disagreement, “Mother, our family is on good terms with the Yan family, how has Third Brother Yan become an outsider?”

Madam Zhou felt an intense headache coming on, and through gritted teeth, said, “In any case, you are not allowed to go down, nor are you allowed to shout about without decorum. Now go back to the cabin with me.”

Zhou Jingwan huffed to express her dissatisfaction, seeing that Madam Zhou was unmoved, she took a step back, “Mother, I won’t go down. I’ll just stand here on the deck and ask Yiyi about her hairpin,” she changed her wording quickly upon seeing her mother’s icy glare, “what kind she really wants.”

Without waiting for Madam Zhou to speak, Zhou Jingwan immediately walked to the edge of the deck and held on to the boat’s railing, looking towards the shore.

As soon as Zhou Jingwan exited the cabin, Yan Wentao swiftly walked up in front of the Zhou family’s boat.

Daohua and Yan Wenxiu both followed him; with the two of them accompanying her, at least to outsiders, it would seem that Zhou Jingwan was just bidding them farewell and it would prevent any unsavory rumors.

Zhou Jingwan said to Daohua, “Yiyi, don’t worry. I will bring the hairpin back for you, it will be around three or four months before I return.”

Though she spoke to Daohua, her gaze remained on Yan Wentao.

Daohua glanced at her third brother biting his lip and responded, “We’ll wait for you.”

Zhou Jingwan smiled brightly, “Make sure to save some tasty treats for me then, I’ll have them when I’m back.”

Upon hearing this, the fist hanging at Yan Wentao’s side trembled from being clenched too tightly. He wanted to speak a few words to Jingwan, but he was afraid that once he started, he wouldn’t be able to stop the words buried in his heart from pouring out.

He couldn’t ruin the years of friendship between the Yan and Zhou families just for his own sake.

Madam Zhou didn’t want to complicate matters further, and immediately ordered the boat to set sail.

Seeing the boat moving away, Zhou Jingwan waved to the three on the shore, “Wait for my return.”

Daohua raised her hand in response, “Jingwan, you must come back.”

Next to her, Yan Wenxiu looked at his younger brother with a touch of pity and patted his shoulder, “Some things don’t necessarily have to be possessed. Just send your blessings.”

“What in the world is going on with that boy Wentao?” he asked. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}
