Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

The play of the same name, based on the storybook written by Dong Jiafu, "Mistaken Love", soon became one of the most popular pieces through the performance of Chunxi Troupe. The storybook was also in short supply, and many people came to the bookstore to ask for it.

But unlike last time, this time the woman bought more. After all, the styles of the two stories are different, so this is understandable.

The storybooks sold so well that even the bookstore clerks were grinning from ear to ear, but the owner, Dong Jialin, was unhappy.

I don’t know whether Miss Jiang has seen the play and the storybook. If she has, why hasn’t she shown up yet?

Dong Jialin sat in front of the counter, his chin in his hand, looking out the door with a melancholy look on his face.

"Boss, boss..."

The guy came back after finishing his work, and his shouting brought Dong Jialin back to his senses, and he finally turned around.

"what happened?"

"Boss, you seem to be in a bad mood today. Why don't you go out for some fresh air and see when the next batch of books will arrive?" The waiter suggested with a smile, but in his heart, it was not appropriate for the boss to sit at the door with a sad face. Although the bookstore was doing good business, it was not appropriate for customers to see such a face as soon as they entered. In order to leave a good impression on the customers and attract more repeat customers, it was better to send the boss away.

Dong Jialin took his numb arm off the table and stood up. "Forget it. You guys stay here."

After walking out of the counter, Dong Jialin suddenly turned around in front of the door and said, "Remember..."

As soon as he said two words, the waiter knew what he was going to say next. Before he could finish, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, boss. If Miss Jiang comes, I will definitely give her the letter you wrote. You have told me this at least eighty times, and we have remembered it. We will not delay your important event."

Dong Jialin then walked out of the bookstore. He wrote two letters, one here and the other in the teahouse. He was afraid that he would not be there when Miss Jiang came, so he could let the clerk in the store give her the letter, which contained his explanation and the words he wanted to say to her these days.

The waiter watched him walk away and breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting this gentleman to leave.

Dong Jialin's carriage was parked at the teahouse and he wanted to go there first.

He would look around on the road. Since the last time he met Miss Jiang on the street, he formed this habit and hoped to meet her again.

As he was thinking about it, the person he had been thinking about day and night appeared in his sight.

Dong Jialin stopped in his tracks, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and opened them again to make sure he was not mistaken. Even though it was just a silhouette from behind, he was sure it was Miss Jiang.

Finally, what he had been waiting for came to pass, and Dong Jialin ran after him.

He hurriedly shuttled through the crowd, but saw Miss Jiang in front of him stopped and seemed to bow to the person opposite. The crowd blocked his view, so he couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he knew it was a man.

Dong Jialin couldn't help but get nervous and sped up. He kept saying "sorry" to the people he bumped into, while not daring to miss Miss Jiang's figure and quickly chased after her.

"Miss Jiang——" Seeing that he was only a few steps away from her, Dong Jialin couldn't help but call out loudly.

When Miss Jiang heard it, she turned around and saw that it was him. She immediately became flustered, said something to the person opposite her, and hurriedly left with the maid named Qinghe beside her.

"Miss Jiang, don't leave yet. I have something important to tell you..."

Dong Jialin was heartbroken. He had finally gotten to see her, and he couldn't just not be able to say a word to her.

He went straight to chase after him, but someone grabbed his arm with such force that he had to stop.

Dong Jialin was anxious and angry. He turned around and yelled at the person who was trying to stop him: "Let me go--"

The next moment, after seeing who it was, he changed the words he was about to say, and asked in surprise: "Master Cui...Master Cui, why is it you?"

Cui Qiyan curled the corners of his lips and said, "Second Master Dong, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Dong Jialin didn't have time to think too much, "Master Cui, please let me go first. I have something important to do, so it's not convenient for me to talk to you more."

"I'm sorry," Cui Qiyan still held him, "I was asked to stop you."

Dong Jialin couldn't break free, and when he turned around to look, Miss Jiang was no longer in the crowd.

He immediately lost all his strength and said in grief, "Master Cui, you can let go now. I can't catch up with you."

Cui Qiyan let go of his hand and said again: "Sorry."

Dong Jialin thought of something and quickly raised his head, "Master Cui knows Miss Jiang?"

"I know him." Cui Qiyan nodded.

Hope rekindled in Dong Jialin's eyes. "Can you tell me which family she is from?"

Now it was Cui Qiyan's turn to be surprised, "You don't know who she is?"

"She only told me her last name was Jiang..."

Cui Qiyan thought for a moment, "I don't know what your relationship is, so I can't decide whether to tell you. If you're willing, we can find a place to sit down, and you can tell me why you want to pursue her, and why she hides when she sees you. What do you think?"

"This place is not far from my teahouse, let's go there." Dong Jialin did not hesitate.

"it is good."

The two came to the private room of the teahouse. Dong Jialin had someone bring in a pot of good tea and personally poured a cup for Cui Qiyan.

"Master Cui, please have some tea."

"Thank you." Cui Qiyan took it and waited for him to speak.

Dong Jialin thought about what to say, and then briefly recounted how he and Miss Jiang met, how they became friends, and how he finally fell in love with her but she avoided him.

Cui Qiyan understood, "You mean she doesn't know you are Mr. Dong's son, and only sees you as a businessman, and thinks her family won't let you two be together, so she avoids you?"

"That's what Afu guessed," Dong Jialin looked at the teacup in his hand, "but Afu also said that this is just one possibility. Another possibility is that she doesn't like me at all..."

"But no matter what the reason is, I have to make it clear to her. If she really doesn't like me, I won't force it."

"Master Cui, I have no ill will towards Miss Jiang. I just want to say a few words to her. Please tell me." Dong Jialin begged, "I have tried every possible way to find her during this period, but there is no news at all. Today I finally saw her, but this is the result."

Looking at him, Cui Qi Yan couldn't help but think of himself and decided to help him.

"I can tell you, but you have to promise me one thing."

"I agree!" Dong Jialin was overjoyed.

"Listen to me first," Cui Qiyan said, "I'll tell you her identity later. You can't go to her house to look for her. It's not easy for her to be at home. You can't cause her trouble."

Dong Jialin nodded solemnly, "I promise not to disturb her."

"Actually, if you want her to know who you are, I can convey your identity to her." Cui Qi Yan said before.

"But I want to tell her in person," Dong Jialin insisted.
