Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 1118 - 1120: How Pitiful He Is

"Nianhua, be honest, it’s not like before when you dated, where it was just like eating or drinking and you agreed the moment he asked, right?" Su Xi raised her voice.

"What else?" Xu Nianhua raised an eyebrow and said, "Am I supposed to have a whole ceremony?"

She felt that actions speak louder than words, as long as Pei Yicheng truly cared for her, she didn’t mind whether there was a ceremony or not.

"Of course, you have to!" Su Xi answered without thinking, "Nianhua, if it’s too easy to get, won’t he cherish you less?"

"But, I have two parents and four brothers. If I give him a hard time too, how pitiable would he be?" Xu Nianhua would never admit that she was dazzled by Pei Yicheng’s looks, so faced with his deeply affectionate gaze, she couldn’t refuse at all.

Su Xi thought of that scene and nodded in agreement, "That’s true, you have two more parents and two more brothers than others. Just their trials are plenty."

"Right, so if I don’t stand by his side, how pitiful would he be?" Xu Nianhua answered with a grin.

Outside the door.

Jiang Wanru, who had just brought over some fruit, felt a pang in her heart upon hearing this. Girls are so outward-oriented; they already plan to get engaged with Yicheng?

"No way, we just got our daughter back, and she’s not even warmed up at home yet, how can Pei Yicheng whisk her away just like that?" Su Jinrong didn’t oppose them dating, but it didn’t mean he could accept them getting engaged right away.

"I’ll spar with Pei Yicheng tomorrow!" Su Lie said, growing more displeased the more he thought about it. He wished he could find Pei Yicheng immediately for a good sparring session.

The next day. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

When Su Lie approached Pei Yicheng, Pei Yicheng was momentarily stunned.

"Pei Yicheng, why don’t we find a place to spar today?" Su Lie rolled up his sleeves and glanced at the nearby lawn, "How about here?"

"Alright."

Pei Yicheng assumed Xu Nianhua had talked to her family about their engagement plans, so he didn’t refuse and took off his work clothes to face the challenge.

...

Half an hour later, Su Lie lay panting on the lawn, looking at the azure sky. He turned his head to see Pei Yicheng, who was also sweating profusely, and said, "Did you go easy on me?"

"You’re very strong." Pei Yicheng didn’t answer Su Lie’s question and instead praised him.

Su Lie pressed his lips together and said, "Even if you did, losing to you doesn’t disgrace me."

Pei Yicheng curved his lips and said, "Did I pass the test?"

"Physically, yes, but marrying my sister is not that easy," Su Lie said through gritted teeth, "If you want to get engaged, meet my parents openly. What’s the meaning of coaxing my sister to speak up for you?"

"I just wanted to get Nianhua’s consent first." Pei Yicheng lay sprawled on the lawn, feeling fiercely passionate about the prospect of an official engagement.

"That’s more like it." Su Lie, having rested enough, stood up and brushed the grass off his clothes, "Tonight, my dad invites you to dinner at the Orient Hotel."

"I’ll be there on time."

Pei Yicheng felt a chill in his heart, knowing the real test was coming.

In the evening, at the Su Family.

"Mom, Dad and Brother aren’t coming home for dinner?" Xu Nianhua noticed there were fewer bowls and chopsticks on the table than usual.

"They’re not coming, they’re eating out tonight."

Jiang Wanru wished she could go with them, but Su Jinrong had stopped her.

"Mom, why do I feel like you’re a bit..." During dinner, Xu Nianhua noticed Jiang Wanru seemed distracted.
