Chapter 121 Let's Get to Know Each Other Again

"I just said that I came to your place during the day just as a friend." Yang Chong said.

"Thank you for your concern, but I also have things I need to do." Zi Nu sighed, accepting Yang Chong's kindness. However, when she was in Xinzheng, especially running such a large Zi Lan Xuan, there were some things she couldn't avoid. If she didn't want to be swallowed up, she could only take the initiative to join in.

If possible, Zi Nu also wanted to be a woman who lived in peace with the world, but reality did not allow it, and she was not qualified for that.

"I thought you were doing this because of Han Fei." Zi Nu's words made Yang Chong feel a lot more at ease. Women are creatures that once fall in love, it is not easy to pull them back.

"Do you care about this a lot?" Zi Nu looked at Yang Chong. It seemed as if she had gotten to know Yang Chong all over again. In the past, she only regarded Yang Chong's kindness as a burden. Now, Zi Nu felt that Yang Chong had intentions towards her, but they were only the intentions of a man towards a woman. There was nothing else, such as malice.

"Of course I care. I've said, I like you." Yang Chong looked at Zi Nu. She was still so perfect, and the eye shadow at the corners of her eyes exuded a unique charm.

"Speaking of this..." Zi Nu pondered, and suddenly straightened her attitude and said, "Tell me the truth. When you said you liked me, were you just kidding me, or were you serious?"

"Do you think I have a lot of time?" Yang Chong did not answer Zi Nu's question, but instead asked a question.

"I don't think so, but I can't grasp the mind of someone like you." Zi Nu looked at Yang Chong, as if she wanted to see through him completely.

"It's just that you are too vigilant. You instinctively think that every man who approaches you has other intentions towards you." Yang Chong said. Although Zi Nu looks like a beautiful and strong woman, the so-called strength is not her essence, but the shell she created while walking on thin ice.

"Then what do you like about me? It's hard for me to imagine. Am I beautiful? The woman next to you seems prettier. Money? I don't think you would like the money I earn with Zilanxuan." Zi Nu pointed at her cheek. Although she was confident about her appearance, she didn't believe that Yang Chong would really fall in love with her at first sight.

"Men are all greedy. I admit that I did have some suspicion of being attracted to Miss Zi Nu, but it was more because you are Zi Nu." Yang Chong said.

When faced with Yang Chong's confession of love, Zi Nu always wanted to find a reason. If she didn't have a suitable reason, she would feel insecure. But she didn't know that she didn't need too many reasons with Yang Chong. Just the name Zi Nu would be enough.

"Is there anything special about Zi Nu?" Zi Nu asked. This was the only time she faced Yang Chong calmly except for the first time she met Yang Chong.

"Isn't a woman who is wise, loving and responsible worthy of a man's love?" Yang Chong asked back.

"If it's just that, I'm afraid it won't work. Background is also needed. I seem to be in a glorious position, but I am very self-aware. In the eyes of true nobles, I will always be someone who is not presentable." Zi Nu said with a sad look on her face.

At this moment, Zi Nu thought of a scene when she was chatting with Han Fei and others before. A few days ago, they talked about the most famous theater in Xinzheng City. Han Fei was very excited and said that he wanted to go to the theater to watch a play, but she said that her status did not allow her to go to that place. When Han Fei heard her words, he chose to remain silent, which meant he agreed.

"Am I so noble? Everyone is a country bumpkin." Yang Chong said.

"You are now an official appointed by the court. You can go to places like theaters, but I can't." Thinking of Han Fei's silence a few days ago, Zi Nu was somewhat touched. Although she didn't have that kind of feeling towards Han Fei now, she still didn't like the feeling of being denied because of her identity. Who isn't a proud woman?

"Just that?" Yang Chong was stunned. Zi Nu seemed to be focusing on something different.

"Isn't that enough?" Zi Nu observed Yang Chong. She wanted to see what the difference was between Yang Chong and Han Fei.

"Then let's go now." Yang Chong said as he stood up.

"We?" Zi Nu asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's us. Do you want to go together?" Yang Chong stretched out his hand and invited Zi Nu.

"If I get kicked out then..." Zi Nu held her hands without moving, but her expression told Yang Chong that she was already moved.

"Let's see who dares." Yang Chong was very arrogant this time. If Zi Nu didn't know his background, she would have thought that he had replaced Ji Wuye.

"You don't dare, do you?"

"You, a grown man, are not afraid of losing face, so why should I, a woman, be afraid?" Zi Nu was provoked by this, and the last trace of hesitation in her heart disappeared.

"So, please." Yang Chong extended his hand to Zi Nu.

"Then please." Zi Nu was not shy this time, but placed her palm on Yang Chong's palm with ease.

"Let's go." Yang Chong pulled Zi Nu and flew directly out of the window. With Zi Nu's light laugh, he landed steadily on the ground, almost causing a nearby carriage to overturn. The shouting and cursing from the carriage would have only made Zi Nu angry in the past, but at this moment, Zi Nu was laughing. It was a laugh that Yang Chong had never heard from her before.

On the fourth floor of Zi Lan Xuan, Wei Zhuang stood by the window, looking at Zi Nu who was leaving with Yang Chong, and said only one sentence: "Foolish woman." But in another direction, Nanyue's gaze followed the backs of Yang Chong and Zi Nu as they left, and she sighed softly.

The theater is indeed the highest-standard theater in Xinzheng. All the people who come and go are dignitaries, and most of these people have free time. Therefore, even in the daytime, it is still very lively. When Yang Chong came to the theater, he could still see horse-drawn carriages coming and going.

"Does this guest have any identification?" When Yang Chong and Zi Nu were walking towards the theater gate, the gate guard blocked their way.

"Yes." Just when Zi Nu was still guessing how Yang Chong would answer, Yang Chong gave a positive answer.

"Please register here." The gate led Yang Chong and Zi Nu to the accounting office on the side, where there were people responsible for collecting and checking receipts and registering identities.

Yang Chong took the brush handed over by the accountant, and in front of Zi Nu's surprised look, he wrote the two words "Zi Nu", and then wrote his own name.

"It turns out to be Lord Yang Chongyang. You can go in and go to the Dingdeng room, but this Miss Zi Nu cannot enter." The accountant looked at the name on the bamboo slips and said indifferently.

This theater is frequented by people from prominent families. Yang Chong, the commander of the Sima Sect whose salary is only 600 dan, is qualified to enter, but who is Zi Nu? No matter how rich she is, she cannot enter here. Even the concubines of noble families cannot enter here, let alone Zi Nu, the owner of this place of entertainment.

"What are you going to do now?" Zi Nu looked at Yang Chong as if she was watching a fun event. She had already expected the current situation. She came with Yang Chong today just to see what was so special about Yang Chong.

"Zi Nu, Yang Chong, first-class compartment A." Yang Chong held down the bamboo slips that the accountant was about to take back.

"Sir Yang, this is against the rules." The accountant just turned a blind eye to Yang Chong's dominance. There were powerful people everywhere in Xinzheng, and there were many officials with a salary of 600 dan. There was no so-called face in the theater.

"I think it's in line with the rules here." Yang Chong said.

"Commander Yang, this is not a place for a Simamen commander like you to act so arrogantly." The accountant was also annoyed. He knew what kind of people were coming and going here, and how could a small Simamen commander dare to act so arrogantly here.

"Really? I'll say it again, Zi Nu, Yang Chong, first-class compartment A." Yang Chong put his palm on the table.

"Let go..." The accountant was about to ask someone to drive Yang Chong away, but he could not finish his words halfway through. In front of him, the table was constantly sinking into the ground, one inch, two inches, three inches. At this time, the table top had left Yang Chong's palm, but it was still descending and sinking into the ground. In a blink of an eye, the table top was completely level with the ground, and what was even more terrifying was that the table top was intact.

Being able to work as an accountant in a place like a theater, doing the work of welcoming and seeing off guests, he must have extraordinary knowledge. There are many people in Xinzheng who can smash a table top with one palm, but he has never seen or even heard of someone like Yang Chong, who used only palm force to press the table into the ground inch by inch.

"First-class compartment A." Meeting Yang Chong's gaze, the accountant swallowed his saliva. He was very suspicious that if he uttered no again, Yang Chong would slap him.

"Is this your method? It's not that great, is it?" Zi Nu, who had only watched the show from beginning to end and regarded herself as an outsider, walked in the theater. It was unknown what kind of mood she was in as she teased Yang Chong.

"But we have already come in, and we are still in the first class of A." Yang Chong said. Everything he did was to allow himself to break the rules. The rules that were insurmountable in Zi Nu's eyes were just things that were constantly broken for him.

"The method is not very clever." Zi Nu shook her head.

“But it works.”

"I'm afraid you'll get beaten."

"That's a coincidence. I don't have any other skills, but I'm really good at fighting."

The two walked and talked until they sat down in the box.

The show began. Zi Nu listened with great interest, while Yang Chong yawned out of boredom.

"Hey, aren't you here to watch the show?" Just when Yang Chong was about to fall asleep, Zi Nu patted his shoulder.

"I'm not here to watch the show." Yang Chong, who had regained consciousness, stretched lazily and said.

"So what are you looking at?"

"Look at you!" Zi Nu was silent now because she didn't know how to refute.
