The Twenty-Second Year

"In the twenty-second year of knowing He Wenci, Zhou Jianan realized she had fallen for him."

Everyone said Zhou Jianan was spoiled and willful, and that if she wanted something, she had to get it. So sooner or later, Lu Qiyu would fall into her hands. Zhou Jianan believed that too.

Finally, one day, Lu Qiyu said with undisguised disgust, "Do you really think the whole world has to revolve around you? Give it a rest."

Zhou Jianan suddenly felt there was no point in carrying on like this. She smashed her lovesick brain and vowed to become a hardworking young woman of the new era, pursuing her education and career.

With her heart unmoved and her passions cast aside, Zhou Jianan devoted herself to her studies and career.

Everything went smoothly, except He Wenci, Lu Qiyu's maternal uncle, kept showing up in front of her.

One time, after getting drunk, she grabbed He Wenci's tie and wouldn't let go, mumbling, "Stop testing me. I'm not interested in your nephew at all anymore. I won't ruin his relationship."

He Wenci backed her into a corner, leaned close to her ear, and said, "I thought you knew. I've been trying to get my nephew to call you Auntie."
