The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 618 - The Cousin Who Would Marry No One But Him (1)_1

Upon hearing the name Bai Jinyan, Yang Boyan’s face immediately changed. Seeing Pei Qin speak bluntly as he rose to his feet, "You... looked into my background?"

"What if we hadn’t? What were you planning to do?" Pei Qin’s face lost its smile.

Yang Boyan’s expression underwent several changes, "Bai Jinyan is my cousin, and both my aunt and my family want me to marry her, but I have never agreed."

"So she waited for you for five years, becoming an old maid. And yet you still plan to reject the marriage to come and marry Pei Qian?" Pei Qin asked.

Yang Boyan didn’t speak.

"Or are you unable to defy them and thinking of taking Pei Qian as a concubine, in order to show your resistance?" Pei Qin pressed on.

Yang Boyan’s face shifted subtly, "...No, that’s not it!"

"So you plan to marry Pei Qian outside and then have us find a way to help you stand up against your family?" Pei Qin continued to probe.

Yang Boyan looked ashen-faced under her questioning, unable to speak. At that moment, he didn’t know what he was thinking, perhaps he had thought of all these options. But his desire to marry Pei Qian, that was certainly true.

"The Yang family isn’t so great that they can outplay me," Pei Qin said with icy firmness, her deep gaze chilling him.

Feeling a cold shiver down his spine under her gaze, Yang Boyan clenched his fists and pursed his lips, "I want to rebel against my family, but I truly want to marry Pei Qian too! Bai Jinyan is my cousin, and she has remained unmarried, waiting for me... but I don’t like her, and I definitely don’t want to marry her."

"Then you should take care of your family’s issues first before you come over here!" Pei Qin replied coldly with a laugh.

Seeing her menacing smile, Yang Boyan understood there was no hope today. He clenched his fists, "Then I will go home first... This Jade Pendant, our family heirloom, I’ll leave it here... for Qianqian... ."

"Pick it up when you visit some other day!" Pei Qin said, standing up.

Yang Boyan fell silent for a moment, looked at her, and walked out.

Outside the door, Pei Qian stood with a pale face, dark red eyes, and a stubborn, furious expression.

Yang Boyan’s throat tightened as he looked at her for a moment, "I’m sorry. But wait for me!" he said before striding away.

Pei Qian watched him leave with wide eyes, her vision blurring with unshed tears, her fists clenched tightly as she walked over, "He has been deceiving me from the beginning, hasn’t he?"

Although Pei Qin had never experienced the sensation of nascent feelings suddenly entwined with others, Pei Qian was the girl she had raised, she could understand her rage, "Not necessarily! At the very least, his desire to marry you seems genuine."

If even her elder sister wasn’t sure, it was plain comfort! Pei Qian couldn’t contain the rage and injustice in her heart, nor the humiliation of being disrespected, and she ran back inside the house.

Pei Qin came over and knocked on the door, "Just stay inside and calm down for a bit! If you don’t feel like eating, just take a rest!"

Soon, Pei Qian’s crying could be heard from inside the room.

Lv Chun and Hong Xia stood under the kitchen eaves, looking worried as they watched Pei Qin, waiting for her to give instructions.

Pei Qin waved them off and returned to the backyard with Mo Heng.

Mo Heng held her hand, "Fang Liuming is not bad."

Pei Qin glanced at him sideways and shook off his hand, "I do not agree!" However, this little hiccup, how old is Pei Qian? Once this passes, there will be plenty of good men waiting for her choice. What does it matter if she marries Fang Liuming? Her sister married her cousin, cousin marriage is already twisted, wouldn’t she feel suffocated by it?

"Then I disagree too," Mo Heng said, reaching again to hold her hand.

Pei Qin gave him a look.

Landlord Zhao saw Yang Boyan return with a defeated look and still clutching his belongings, "Rejected for marriage?"

Yang Boyan walked inside and sat down, "They found out about my family’s intention for me to marry my cousin."
