From the mont Pei Yansi entered to when he sat down, even while he was speaking with Grandpa Chen and Chen Lingng, Chen Wenzhou had been sitting quietly on the sofa opposite, silently sizing him up, observing his every move and even the emotional changes in his eyes.
At that mont, Chen Wenzhou’s eyes t Pei Yansi’s, and he slowly smiled, tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"Pei Yansi, you know that ngng has always liked you a lot, and marrying you is her dream. However, I’m very curious, why did you keep dragging out the engagent and not want to hold it, but then suddenly changed your mind?"
After Chen Wenzhou shifted his attention to this matter, Grandpa Chen also expressed his interest, "I would also like to know why you suddenly changed your mind."
"What else could it be? Of course, it’s because Brother Yan Si realized that he truly loves most. After all, we grew up together as childhood sweethearts, knowing each other better than anyone else."
Before Pei Yansi could speak, Chen Lingng spoke up for him, prompting a helpless glance from Chen Wenzhou.
"ngng, let’s hear what Pei Yansi has to say about this matter. After all, this concerns your happiness for a lifeti. If you marry and leave ho, we can’t always be by your side, so both your grandfather and I must take good care of you."
Chen Wenzhou suspected that this matter wasn’t so simple; Pei Yansi’s sudden change of heart was unusual, and there must be a demon behind the abnormal.
Pei Yansi noticed that the gazes of all three mbers of the Chen family were focused on him, and he slowly smiled. Before coming here, he had prepared himself ntally.
He was ready for the difficulties they might pose, particularly because he knew what kind of person Chen Wenzhou was after fighting with him for so long—he wouldn’t let Pei Yansi off easily.
Nor would he let this opportunity slip by, so Pei Yansi had already guessed the question he wanted to ask and had ntally prepared an answer.
Yet when he was about to speak the answer he had anticipated, he still felt sowhat reluctant.
Before responding, Pei Yansi knew the kind of answer they wanted to hear.
"Chen Lingng isn’t wrong—I did indeed co to realize recently that she and I are the most compatible, and that she also loves the most."
Pei Yansi’s hands, resting on his knees, crossed as he composed himself before continuing, "As you all know, I used to be infatuated with Shen Heyu, especially after she left , I tried every ans possible to bring her back."
"But no matter what I did, Shen Heyu would not return to , instead repeatedly hurting the affection I held for her. She knew full well how much I cared for her, yet she turned around and got married to Lu Yi."
"But she wasn’t happy with Lu Yi, so I stepped in and helped them annul their marriage contract. I had thought that after they annulled the marriage, Shen Heyu would realize that I am the best one for her and she would willingly co back to ."
"Yet I was wrong again, because not only did she not co back to , but she got involved with Yuexue’s attending physician."
"I saw with my own eyes the scenes of Shen Heyu getting entangled with that Gu Siyu, so I have completely lost hope in her and no longer want to be with her."
After Pei Yansi finished speaking, he looked up and surveyed the expressions of those around him. Grandpa Chen’s face showed satisfaction, while Chen Lingng looked at him with a face full of joy.
Chen Wenzhou still looked at her with a aningful gaze; his expression and deanor didn’t quite seem to believe what Pei Yansi had said.
"Pei Yansi, now that you have seen Shen Heyu’s true colors, just make sure you don’t make such a foolish mistake again."
"Yeah, Brother Yansi, you must have been deceived by that vixen Shen Heyu, which is why she could play you like a fiddle. Now that you’ve seen her true face, I can rest easy knowing you’ll keep your distance from her."
Chen Lingng looked at Pei Yansi joyfully, her eyes shining brightly, but a different emotion flickered through Pei Yansi’s eyes.
Chen Wenzhou stood up and walked over to Pei Yansi, raising his hand to gently pat his shoulder.
"I always knew you were smart. Even if Shen Heyu clouded your vision for a while, she could not deceive you forever. You were bound to see through her eventually." Chen Wenzhou deliberately said things Pei Yansi might not want to hear to provoke him.
Pei Yansi, thinking of the bigger picture, could only bear it. He looked up at Chen Wenzhou, "You’re right, brother-in-law."
Upon hearing Pei Yansi call Chen Wenzhou brother-in-law, Grandpa Chen laughed heartily several tis, "So quick to start calling him brother-in-law when we haven’t even acknowledged it yet."
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? The engagent with Pei Yansi should have taken place long ago. It was delayed until now. Grandpa, I hope that my engagent with Brother Yansi can be held as soon as possible."
Chen Lingng protected Pei Yansi and spoke up for him. Grandpa Chen teased her, saying, "You’re not even married to Pei Yansi yet, and you’re already taking his side."
"Grandpa, I’m not taking his side. Pei Yansi will beco part of our family sooner or later. Family shouldn’t keep things from each other."
Seeing how pleased Chen Lingng was with Pei Yansi, Grandpa Chen silently glanced at Pei Yansi before speaking, "Since Pei Yansi has co to his senses and realized that ngng is the one most suited for him, I’ll go ahead and start preparing for your wedding. Let’s just hold the engagent and wedding at the sa ti."
"Great, that’s great. I can hardly wait to beco Brother Yansi’s bride. When I was little, I dread that when I grew up, I would marry Brother Yansi."
Chen Lingng joyfully raised her hands to cover her face, looking bashful.
"Grandpa, I hope that the wedding with Brother Yansi can take place as soon as possible. I want to be the most beautiful bride in the world and also the happiest."
Grandpa Chen rose and walked over to Chen Lingng’s side, helping her push the wheelchair, "You tell , whose daughter is as eager to get married as you are? Then co with , and let’s pick a lucky date."
"I’ll go with ngng to select an auspicious date, Pei Yansi. Since you’ve decided to beco part of our family, make yourself comfortable here."
"Brother Yansi, why don’t you stay at our house for these next few days? I hope to wake up to see you in the morning and to still see you before I go to sleep at night," Chen Lingng looked at Pei Yansi expectantly.
This suggestion was advantageous to Pei Yansi, and he fell silent for a mont.
"Brother Yansi, please agree to it. Stay with us, and I’ll have soone prepare a room for you right away."
Chen Wenzhou had an ominous premonition and stood up to object, "ngng, you’ll be getting married to Pei Yansi in a few days, there’s no need to rush to see him every day now."
