CHAPTER 921: CHAPTER 921: WHAT DOES A BIG MAN DRAGGING THINGS OUT LOOK LIKE

Zhen Yunjin immediately looked at Xiao Shanghe with an expression reserved for idiots.

Seeing her disregard his words, Xiao Shanghe couldn’t help but seek help from Shi Yaoguang.

"Miss Shi, you..."

Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly felt puzzled.

Looking around and not seeing "Zhen Yunjin" appear, he couldn’t help but ask, "Where is Zhen Yunjin? How come I can’t see any trace of her after such a long time? Could it be that she knew I was coming and hid on purpose?"

Thinking this, his suspicious gaze fell on Zhen Yunjin.

He trusted Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei wouldn’t do anything to Zhen Yunjin, so the only one who could be up to something was this man.

Zhen Yunjin met his wary gaze and felt amused.

He looked at Xiao Shanghe and suddenly chuckled.

"Why are you laughing?"

Zhen Yunjin said nothing.

Xiao Shanghe felt this person was acting erratically.

"Don’t think looking like a lunatic is going to scare me! I’m telling you, there’s no way! I won’t be frightened by you."

Zhen Yunjin: "..."

Haha.

Facing his sneering expression, Xiao Shanghe rolled his eyes, "I’m too lazy to waste words with you, where is Zhen Yunjin?"

Zhen Yunjin pointed at himself.

Xiao Shanghe was speechless, "I’m asking about Zhen Yunjin, why are you pointing at yourself?"

As he spoke.

Suddenly, he was dumbfounded.

He blinked, his face full of disbelief.

"No... you, you..."

He stepped back two paces, "Who are you?"

Zhen Yunjin, "Didn’t you say I’m Zhen Yunjin’s kept pretty boy? So why are you asking who I am now?"

Xiao Shanghe felt like he had walked into a den of wolves.

He looked at him with a gaze full of skepticism, "You say you’re Zhen Yunjin’s kept pretty boy, then I ask you, where is Zhen Yunjin?"

Zhen Yunjin explained, "I never said I was Zhen Yunjin’s kept pretty boy, it was you who assumed that."

Xiao Shanghe’s expression cracked inch by inch.

In fact, he could already be sure that the almost impossible idea in his mind was the real truth.

Seeing Zhen Yunjin still with that expression, he was finally certain.

"You are Zhen Yunjin!"

He practically spat out the words through clenched teeth.

Each word was like he was about to eat someone.

Zhen Yunjin laughed heartily, "Looks like you’re not completely idiotic."

Xiao Shanghe twitched the corner of his mouth, unable to laugh.

He didn’t think this was a compliment.

He only had one thought now.

And that is...

To faint.

Escape.

Only then could he calm down.

The Xiao Family and Zhen Family arranged a marriage, asking him to marry a woman he disliked was one thing.

But now he was being told.

The "woman" he disliked was gone.

And had become a man.

This damn... Is this something humans do?

Xiao Shanghe’s first reaction was that he had been tricked into marriage!

Thinking of something, he looked at Shi Yaoguang, "Did you know Zhen Yunjin is a man?"

Shi Yaoguang thought for a moment and nodded.

Xiao Shanghe immediately showed a pained expression, "Since you knew he was a man, why didn’t you tell me?"

Shi Yaoguang coughed lightly, "I thought you could figure it out."

Xiao Shanghe: "..."

Alright.

This makes a lot of sense.

He did figure it out.

But he didn’t want to figure it out.

He’s straight and plans to spend his life with a man.

Not to mention, that man likes men.

Ugh, ugh, ugh.

What nonsense is he thinking?

In short.

There’s absolutely no way he could be with Zhen Yunjin.

"There’s no way I’m marrying you, give up!"

Xiao Shanghe directly voiced what he felt inside while not forgetting to question, "Why did you hide your true gender from me all along?"

Zhen Yunjin shrugged, "I didn’t hide it."

"You still say you didn’t!" Xiao Shanghe looked at his obvious Adam’s apple and sneered, "Do you think others can’t see that big Adam’s apple of yours?"

"I never said you couldn’t see it, nor doubted you couldn’t see it."

Zhen Yunjin stated truthfully, "The reason I didn’t specifically tell you wasn’t intentional concealment, it’s just that no one noticed."

Xiao Shanghe thought carefully, and it seems...

It really is like this.

Everyone knows the Zhen Family has a young lady, a business prodigy.

Equally famous as her business prowess is her flirtatious and roguish reputation.

That’s about it.

Whether Miss Zhen is pretty is all rumors.

The media have never released photos of Miss Zhen, unless one saw her in person, there’s simply no knowing what she looked like.

But even so, she never publicly announced she wasn’t a woman!

Zhen Yunjin spoke with conviction, "I’m a woman, I never said I couldn’t be a man."

As he spoke, he looked at him disdainfully, "But you, a grown man, dilly-dallying like this, what does it look like?"

Xiao Shanghe: "Me dilly-dallying still beats you, a grown man, dressing up as a woman!"

Zhen Yunjin frowned, "What did you say?"

Xiao Shanghe snorted, "Have I said anything wrong?"

"You’re clearly a man, yet deliberately pretending to be a woman."

"If cross-dressing is your hobby, I can understand, everyone has the right to choose their own lifestyle, I as an outsider have no right to comment."

"But you, pretending to be a woman, was to marry me!"

Xiao Shanghe became more agitated as he spoke, "It’s clearly a deceptive marriage!"

Zhen Yunjin: "..."

His words were unpleasant, but indeed factual.

In this arranged marriage matter, he was truly at fault.

Even though it wasn’t voluntary.

Yet voluntary or not doesn’t matter anymore.

Since it happened, it’s pointless to discuss right or wrong.

Instead, better to think about how to resolve it.

Zhen Yunjin previously mentioned to Mei Yueyan about wanting to confront Xiao Shanghe, but that was just talk.

Xiao Shanghe clearly prefers women.

Zhen Yunjin has no intention of forcing anyone’s preferences.

Seeing Zhen Yunjin’s expression, Xiao Shanghe carefully examined him, and after confirming he wasn’t lying, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You better not be lying to me. I’ll just tell you straight, I’m never going to like men, so drop it sooner."

Zhen Yunjin nodded, "Alright."

Xiao Shanghe continued to ask, "You’re really not going to force me?"

Zhen Yunjin raised an eyebrow, "Judging by what you’re saying, you seem to want me to force you?"

Xiao Shanghe shook his head vigorously, "No, no! I don’t mean that."

Just as he was about to express that Zhen Yunjin was a good person, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Soon, Mei Yueyan’s voice came from outside.

"Yunjin, can mom come in?"

Hearing this, Zhen Yunjin glanced at Xiao Shanghe and smiled.

He said to those outside, "Come in."

Mei Yueyan, hearing his voice, breathed a sigh of relief.

She said to the daughter following behind her, "Yunduo, when you see your brother later, speak nicely, alright?"

Mei Yunduo nodded expressionlessly, "Understood."
