His Transmigrated Cannon Fodder Fiance - Chapter 17 - Chance Encounter (1)

Chapter 17 – Chance Encounter (1)

When Shen Ziqiao heard that she could not get rid of the original plot and would be married to Qi Zheng, nervousness filled her heart. Not for the petty reason because she despises Qi Zheng, a person she didn’t know, but rather, if the scenario continues like this, wouldn’t that mean she would meet an ugly end as the cannon fodder?

What should I do? How can I die? Should I escape?

The only thing was… in the original story, Shen Ziqiao ran away from Qi Zheng and died.

Shen Ziqiao wanted to cry.

How could she forget? Wouldn’t Qi Zheng oppose to his marriage? As long as he is unwilling, the probability of this union coming to life is near impossible! After all, Shen Ziqiao now believed with absolute certainty that Qi Zheng was playing dumb, so there was a probable chance of him rejecting the proposal.

“Wait for me here. I’ll go out,” Shen Ziqiao told Shen Ziyang as she opened the door and went out.

Shen Ziyang shouted from behind her, “Where are you going?”

“Children shouldn’t ask so many questions!” Shen Ziqiao answered back. Upon exit, she turned for the path that leads downstairs.

If her hunch is right, Qi Zheng should be at the back where the rooms for VIP were.

Shen Ziqiao went downstairs and found nearby people to ask if they had seen Sheng Peiyin. Some of them recognized her as Shen Ziqiao and probably got orders from Sheng Peiyin to remain mute of her whereabouts.

Is she avoiding me? Shen Ziqiao’s eyebrows rose as she walked towards the back rooms herself.

“Third miss Shen, where are you heading?” As soon as Shen Ziqiao appeared within the shopkeeper’s sight, he bombarded her with a question. He especially remembered Sheng Peiying’s instructions not to let the girl walk freely in the establishment.

“Oh, I’m only looking for sister Sheng.” Shen Ziqiao said offhandedly with a smile.

The shopkeeper replied, “Our third young miss is not there.”

“Well, then I’ll have to try finding her somewhere else.” Shen Ziqiao smiled and moved back to the stairs. As soon as she saw the shopkeeper turn his back, she immediately ran towards the back.

These so-called VIP rooms were just renovated rooms situated in the back garden. The lush scenery was quaint and unique. Surrounded by trees and rocks, it gave a secretive atmosphere.

Where on earth will Qi Zheng be? I certainly can’t go knocking on these doors one by one…

Shen Ziqiao hoped that she would have at least the golden fingers of the female lead at this time so that she could be able to see Qi Zheng as soon as she stepped on the garden.

Of course, this kind of cheat is not available for a cannon fodder!

She trudged slowly along the corridor. Only five rooms were available on the left and right, with the garden at the middle and a pavilion overlooking the rockery scenery. It is indeed a place that feels VIP.

Creak–

The door of the room in front of her suddenly opened. And a small boy came out from the inside and politely said, “Please take your time, Master Qi. If you need anything, tell this small one.”

Master Qi? Is it Qi Zheng? Can be this a coincidence?!

Shen Ziqiao hurried forward but became disappointed when she saw that the Master Qi inside was not the Qi Zheng she was acquainted with.

Just as she was about to lift her foot and turn around, she heard a low voice coming from behind. She was shocked to see Qi Zheng coming towards this side, led by a middle-aged man.

“Qi Zheng!” Shen Ziqiao unconsciously let out a cry of joy.

As if Qi Zheng wasn’t able to hear her call, he followed the middle-aged man into another wing. But before they could close the door shut, Shen Ziqiao had already strode past with a broad smile and stretched out her arms to block it from closing.

“Master Qi, I have to ask your help for something!” Shen Ziqiao whispered, looking at him pleading in her eyes.

“You, who are you? and what do you want to do?” Qi Zheng stood behind the middle-aged servant, watching Shen Ziqiao warily.

Shen Ziqiao pushed the servant away, brazenly walking inside. “Do you still recognize me?”

Qi Zheng still looked handsome despite the dull and ignorant expression on his face. He was even tall and dressed neatly.

“You, you…” Qi Zheng blankly stared at Shen Ziqiao, “I don’t remember.”
