A strand of hair fell from her forehead, elegant and virtuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t laugh at her for going gray; time doesn’t defeat beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ‘wild’ cells inside Shangguan Dehui that had been stagnant for years were stirring again, but he had to suppress them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he couldn’t scare her off, no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tension between them gradually eased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being with Shangguan Dehui made Ni Cuihua feel an unprecedented sense of relaxation, their conversation also became more casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Cuihua said, “Are you really a teacher now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Cuihua, who didn’t know the truth before, thought Shangguan Dehui was quite suitable to be a teacher, but now… she always felt something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really.” Shangguan Dehui continued, “After returning to the city, I got into college, then I continued to pursue my master’s and doctoral degrees, and finally stayed in school to teach.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he didn’t expect that the once leader of Sijiu City would become a teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time is indeed a magical thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Cuihua jokingly said, “Doesn’t your principal fear you might mislead the disciples?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Dehui replied, “Daya, you shouldn’t be prejudiced! I have rehabilitated a long time ago. There’s a saying, isn’t there, ‘A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold!'”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Cuihua looked at him and refuted, “Shangguan Dehui, don’t forget there’s also a phrase, ‘Leopards never change their spots.'”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Petals were scattered all over the courtyard, and the kitchen was filled with delicious aromas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At noon, Ni Cuihua prepared a feast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She originally intended to roast a chicken, but since she was unsure of controlling the temperature of the bake house, she decided to marinate it for Ni Yang to roast when she returns in the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today marks the first month since the restaurant’s opening, Ni Yang was still spectating at the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The business has been operating for a month, and with enthusiastic service and delicious dishes, the restaurant had a lot of loyal fans and returning customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, there was only one VIP customer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yangyang!” A male voice suddenly rang out from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang looked back and saw Chen Zhicang who was holding a bouquet of bright red roses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Chen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is for you.” Chen Zhicang handed the roses to Ni Yang, “The Westerners believe that roses symbolize love and sincere, pure affection.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang didn’t reach out to accept them, “I’m sorry, I already have a boyfriend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, she accepted Chen Zhicang’s flowers because of the restaurant’s grand opening, hoping for good luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it’s different today. Chen Zhicang had made it clear that roses stand for sincere, pure love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these circumstances, if Ni Yang continued to accept his flowers, it could easily be taken the wrong way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhicang argued, “I know you have a boyfriend, you’ve already told me. But having a boyfriend doesn’t mean I can’t give you flowers!” And nothing stops him from pursuing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply doesn’t believe that Ni Yang’s boyfriend could be any better than he is!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of looks, he is not bad, he had countless foreign women chasing after him when he was abroad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for background, he comes from a reputable family in Beijing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choosing a potential partner is all about looks and background, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With both in his favor, what could Ni Yang possibly be discontented with?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why, on the day the restaurant opened, Chen Zhicang boldly bet that he would win Ni Yang over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang replied, “But I can’t accept it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why? I’ve said I don’t mind.” Chen Zhicang was somewhat puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang was indifferent, “But I do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you concerned about?” Chen Zhicang was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t mind, what was there for Ni Yang to worry about? Being concerned about having another suitor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And don’t women usually feel more superior the more suitors they have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why couldn’t he see any superiority on Ni Yang’s face?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang continued, “Because my boyfriend would be jealous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhicang asked, “So you are not accepting these flowers?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang shook her head, “Mr. Chen, you don’t need to waste your time on me, because I really love my boyfriend very much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhicang nonchalantly said, “You love yours, and I pursue mine. Romantic freedom is now the norm and no one can interfere with me. Besides, having an extra suitor gives you another option, I think that’s pretty good! Times have changed, there’s no need for girls to be so conservative!”\u003C\u002Fp>",826,"2026-06-05T19:00:17.235Z",1,"novelbin.me","7e02b03157dd69fe74377d229daec2bb8fcb8bd1e2ccfa476d36ba534b9b0d07","rebirth-of-a-village-girl-chapter-599","rebirth-of-a-village-girl-chapter-597",1410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-of-a-village-girl-cover.jpg"]
