"I already told you last time, didn't I?"

Even if Yanchuan had been her unavoidable choice in her previous life, having started this round anew, Jinzhi had never considered the possibility of anything happening between her and Linchuan.

Now Yanchuan was her most steadfast choice, and she couldn't let him feel that she had chosen him only out of necessity!

The emergency passageway quieted down. Linchuan, looking at Jinzhi, found he didn't know what to say, just as Yanchuan was also looking at her.

However, the moods of these two were completely different, especially Yanchuan—he didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment.

He just felt his heart beating rapidly.

A moment later, Jinzhi scoffed coldly, looking at Linchuan and continued, "Or are you deliberately saying that, just to make Yanchuan feel like he's picked up a woman you discarded, thinking it would give him face?"

Jinzhi felt it necessary to be blunt to prevent Linchuan from continually trying to disrupt their marital relationship.

"I didn't!"

Of course, Linchuan's expression changed as he flatly denied her accusation—he absolutely had no such thought!

Linchuan unconsciously turned his head to look at Yanchuan on his side, his face filled with anxiety. "Yanchuan, I absolutely didn't mean that! I just think marriage is a lifetime decision, and I hope you can be with someone you love!"

"You don't need to worry about that, Yanchuan and I are together by mutual consent," Jinzhi said.

Linchuan looked at Jinzhi again, dissatisfaction in his eyes, as if she was some witch forcing their brotherhood apart.

"Did you ever consider Yanchuan's feelings?" Linchuan raised his voice and challenged.

"Unfortunately, I actually did ask!" Jinzhi replied through gritted teeth. Although at the time she was only fooling Yanchuan, no matter what he said, she wouldn't let Yanchuan go.

But Yanchuan had agreed.

"Yanchuan, today, in front of Linchuan, tell him whether this was voluntary," Jinzhi said to Yanchuan, while Linchuan also turned his attention to Yanchuan.

After a few mutual glances, Yanchuan looked at Linchuan, "Big brother, I know you mean well, but marrying Jinzhi is my own willing decision."

In fact, Yanchuan himself wasn't sure why he was willing, but deep down, he felt that marrying Jinzhi was the right choice, and that he should do so.

Linchuan, looking at Yanchuan, was at a loss for words, feeling somewhat that his good intentions had been betrayed.

In her previous life, Jinzhi had not married Linchuan, but still had been in the same family with him for decades; she had fully understood his character, and at this moment, she could tell what he truly felt inside.

Suppressing the urge to roll her eyes, Jinzhi said, "Since that's the case, let's clarify things right here among the three of us."

At this point, Jinzhi looked directly at Linchuan again, and said coldly, "I don't know what plans your family has, but from the day Chairman Xie discussed an arranged marriage with our family, I told Chairman Xie that I agreed to the arranged marriage, but only if it was with Yanchuan!"

"It's because it was Yanchuan that I agreed to the arranged marriage, not because I wanted an arranged marriage and hence chose Yanchuan, do you understand?"

Jinzhi's statement was somewhat convoluted, but the meaning she expressed was completely different.

"As for you, you have never been in my considerations. I hope that after today, I will no longer hear anything from you about how I married Yanchuan because of you, or anything of the sort."

"I married Xie Yanchuan, and that's between the two of us, none of anyone else's business!"

After another pause in the safety passage, Xie Linchuan finally nodded, "I understand."

Xie Linchuan glanced at Xie Yanchuan, his expression complex as he said, "Yanchuan, I wish you happiness."

After saying that, Xie Linchuan stepped forward, opened the door to the safety passage, and walked out without looking back.

Watching the door close automatically, Xu Jinzhi felt like cursing. What kind of nonsense was that, wishing him happiness as if Xie Yanchuan was some scumbag who had dumped Xie Linchuan!

Not bothering anymore with Xie Linchuan, Xu Jinzhi adjusted her mood and looked at Xie Yanchuan with a smiling expression, "Are you really busy tomorrow?"

Xie Yanchuan opened his mouth but was somewhat at a loss for words. He really was busy tomorrow, but he didn't know how to respond to Xu Jinzhi, especially since she had been upset about it not long ago.

Seeing that Xie Yanchuan had gone silent again, Xu Jinzhi felt she should be kinder, not tease him anymore, "Alright, I was just asking. I'm not that unreasonable."

Perhaps sensing Xu Jinzhi's "understanding," Xie Yanchuan said, "After these busy days, I should be free during the May Day holiday."

"Fine," Xu Jinzhi agreed, pretending to be reluctant.

Xie Yanchuan just watched Xu Jinzhi, and seeing that she wasn't upset this time, he finally smiled a little.

"Should we head back now?" asked Xie Yanchuan.

"No way!" Xu Jinzhi blurted out her refusal without thinking.

Xie Yanchuan looked at her, puzzled and unsure what she was up to.

Xu Jinzhi said, "Since we have no time for a date, let's just spend a little more time now."

After all, she had already eaten. If it weren't for worrying about leaving a bunch of elders abruptly, which would be rude, Xu Jinzhi would have already dragged Xie Yanchuan away.

So, Xie Yanchuan had no choice but to continue standing there.

Used to Xie Yanchuan's silent and reserved nature, Xu Jinzhi took the initiative and asked, "After being away on business for so many days, don't you have something you want to tell me?"

Xu Jinzhi slightly tilted her head, looking at Xie Yanchuan with a hint of playfulness.

Xie Yanchuan looked at Xu Jinzhi, seemingly struggling to find a topic.

Xu Jinzhi wasn't in a hurry, just kept watching Xie Yanchuan, waiting for him to ask her something.

After a dozen seconds, Xie Yanchuan said very seriously, "You seem to have lost some weight."

Xu Jinzhi was somewhat speechless. Was that really all he thought about earnestly before speaking to her?

Meanwhile, Xie Linchuan had already returned to the private room. Seeing Xie Linchuan come back alone, Xie Suian asked, "Where's Yanchuan?"

Before Xie Linchuan could reply, Xie Xingchuan chimed in confidently, "He must be with my second sister-in-law."

Xie Xingchuan saying 'second sister-in-law' was naturally referring to Xu Jinzhi; he had noticed during dinner how close his second brother and Miss Xu seemed.

Originally, he thought his brother was being forced, but now it seemed like his brother was quite willing.
